Count opportunities before judging output
Teams playing at a faster pace create more possessions for both sides. Raw points can rise even when shot quality and efficiency remain ordinary.
Possession-based measures help separate how often a team attacked from how effectively it used those chances.
Lineups shape tempo
Smaller lineups may run more often, while teams with a size advantage can deliberately slow the game and attack set defences. Pace is a tactical choice as much as a statistical description.
- Compare points per possession
- Track transition opportunities
- Consider score and foul situation
- Separate one-game pace from season-long identity
