ESPN team totals and game box scores checked October 6. NBA season averages and ranks use 2025–26; preseason game results are shown separately. Ranks are within the league, with ties sharing a rank; a lower turnover rate is better. Season offensive rebound rate needs opponent defensive-rebound totals, which this feed does not supply. A dash means unavailable. This game’s offensive rebound rate uses the opponent’s actual rebounds.

How we read the Lab measures

eFG% gives a made three its extra value. Turnover rate estimates the share of plays lost before a shot. Offensive rebound rate is the share of available offensive rebounds collected. Free-throw pressure is FTA/FGA. The calculations are (FGM + 0.5 × 3PM)/FGA; TOV/(FGA + 0.44 × FTA + TOV); OREB/(OREB + opponent DREB); and FTA/FGA.

The Lab’s result test

Memphis Grizzlies won by 9 points. Q2 supplied the largest scoring swing in the winner’s favor, a +23-points period. The chart shows the result’s path; the box score helps explain what created it.

The shooting test is Memphis Grizzlies at 62.7% eFG against Atlanta Hawks at 53.2%. Effective field goal percentage includes the extra value of a made three. Compare it with turnover rate, offensive rebounds and free-throw pressure before assigning the result to shooting alone.

It is preseason. The result counts as a completed game, but it does not count toward regular-season standings. Our next test is whether the rotation creates the same quality of chances and communicates on defense when the lineup changes.
