05 / Notes

WHAT THE LOG SAYS

RECORD

01

21-9

LVS finished 21-9, 5th in the league by wins.

A 70.0% win rate over 30 games, outscoring opponents by 7.8 points a night. Their net rating of 9.7 ranks 5th, and the point margin says that record was worth 22.0 wins.
CONTEXT

02

+7.6

LVS rate 5th on the Simple Rating System.

Margin alone would put them at 7.8 points a game; the schedule they played rated -0.7, the 12th hardest in the league over the 30 games whose opponent is known. The two together rate them at 7.6, and they disagree with the raw margin by -0.1 points.
EFFICIENCY

03

138.6 / 128.9

LVS scored 138.6 and conceded 128.9 points per 100 possessions.

Offence ranks 4th, defence 8th — and on defence lower is better. Across 2,395 possessions at a pace of 79.8, that is a net rating of 9.7.
MARIUS

04

69.1

LVS scored 69.1 on the MARIUS Score.

Half of that is true shooting (70.3%), 30% is assists per game (26.0 — 9th in the league) and 20% is ball security (7.8 turnovers a game, 8th — where lower is better).
MARIUS

05

9.8%

LVS gave the ball away on 9.8% of their possessions.

Basketball-Reference's definition puts the turnover rate at 9.0% of plays used — 7.8 turnovers per game. Both are shown because they answer slightly different questions: one is per possession, the other per play.
ANOMALY

06

108-68

Their best night was a 108-68 win against DCS.

Game 15, a net rating of 52.0 on 76.9 possessions. They made 49 of 71 shots and pulled in 39 rebounds. It came at home.

→ DCS
ANOMALY

07

97-121

Their worst night was a 97-121 loss against NYE.

Game 25, a net rating of -31.4. They turned the ball over 6 times and gave up 58 points in the paint.

→ NYE
RECORD

08

5/2

Their longest winning run was 5 games; the longest losing run 2.

Read off the game log in order, so a streak is a real sequence of results rather than a count of wins. They also played 3 games decided by five points or fewer (10.0%) and 8 decided by twenty or more (26.7%).
RECORD

09

10-5

At home LVS went 10-5; on the road 11-4.

66.7% of home games won against 73.3% away. Their home net rating was 9.1 and their away net rating 10.3 — the same team, two different levels.
CONTEXT

10

-1.0

LVS's scoring margin was 7.3 a game at home and 8.3 on the road.

That is a home-court edge of -1.0 points a game. Across the league the host outscores the visitor by -1.4, so their own building is worth more to them than the average one.
STYLE

11

21.4

LVS's performance swung 21.4 net rating points between games.

The standard deviation of their per-game net rating, across 30 games with a box score. The league's steadiest side sits near 18.8; the wildest near 33.6.
CONTRACT

12

$40.0M

LVS pays Timothy Noah $40.0M — 28.1% of its payroll.

A roster of 10 on $142.4M, comfortably under the cap. The spending is spread fairly evenly across the squad.
