Fun with Stats

Again: I'm very happy to see the team ending the season on a winning note. However, for a second there right before the 1/2 I thought that they had found a new way to utilize Mark Madsen's amazing tanking abilities: the little-known you-can't-come-off-the-bench-with-your-shirt-untucked technical. At that point in the contest I started to prepare myself for a 4th quarter full of an unkempt Madsen making his way off the bench for 30 second increments, possibly jacking up a few 3s in the process.

Last night's game was the 3rd statistical oddity in a row. Here's how the 2 teams stacked up in the 4 Factors:

The Wolves::

  • FG% (eFG): 51%
  • TO: 13
  • Offensive (and total) rebounds: 24-62
  • FT: 11-16

The Grizz:

  • FG% (eFG): 44%
  • TO: 7
  • Offensive (and total) rebounds: 17-45
  • FT: 26-43
