The five plays that moved the chance to win most, in order.
Each play from the side of the team that made it: its chance to win before and after, and the change in percentage points. On the court, each shot is the shooter’s face (gray when he missed), bigger the more it moved the chance. The Nuggets’ chance bottomed out at 12% (3rd quarter, 10:40 left). Chances from the site’s game model (the per-play numbers the Clutch and Performances tabs use aren’t built for this game).
99 points from the field on 89 shots: 1.9 more than the league scores from the same zones.
