ESPN team totals and game box scores checked October 6. WNBA season averages and ranks use the 2026 regular season; playoff 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 · CURRENT TEAM READNew York Liberty through our lens
ESPN’s 2026 standings snapshot, checked October 6, puts New York Liberty at 26-18. That profile contains 89.6 points scored and 86.4 conceded per game, a +3.2 average margin. The scoring average is 5 of 15 in this league snapshot. The positive margin supports the record, but the next test is whether control survives against a stronger opponent.
The next scheduled test is 
Atlanta Dream on 2026-10-07. Our test is which possessions can be repeated. Effective shooting, turnovers, offensive rebounds and trips to the line separate shot-making from extra chances. The regular-season profile gives context; a playoff adjustment must target the actual game box score.
