Section 01 · Distribution

How most games end.

The shape of normal. Most NBA games are decided by single digits. A handful are decided by 50+. Here's the histogram.

Section 02 · Extremes

The games that broke the curve.

Every distribution has tails. These are the tails.

Section 03 · Every team, every season

Three years of NBA, sorted.

Every game of every team, broken out by season. Wins green, losses red, read left-to-right. Win-loss record is on the right. The number after that — the one that matters most — is point differential per game. That's the closest thing to a true talent metric you can compute from final scores alone.

Section 04 · The Findings

The 35 most interesting things.

Ranked by surprise. The algorithmic detector found these patterns by scanning every game in the dataset for streaks, blowouts, nail-biters, and statistical anomalies.

Section 05 · Players

The people doing the work.

Six leagues, hundreds of athletes, the leaders in every category we track. Volume scorers, efficiency monsters, defensive anchors, the overlooked specialists. Each row is a real player having a real season.
