05 / Notes

WHAT THE LOG SAYS

  • RECORD

    01

    25-5

    TOR finished 25-5, 1st in the league by wins.

    A 83.3% win rate over 30 games, outscoring opponents by 11.2 points a night. Their net rating of 14.0 ranks 4th, and the point margin says that record was worth 24.3 wins.

  • CONTEXT

    02

    +10.4

    TOR rate 4th on the Simple Rating System.

    Margin alone would put them at 11.2 points a game; the schedule they played rated -1.3, the 15th hardest in the league over the 5 games whose opponent is known. The two together rate them at 10.4, and they disagree with the raw margin by -0.7 points.

  • EFFICIENCY

    03

    141.8 / 127.7

    TOR scored 141.8 and conceded 127.7 points per 100 possessions.

    Offence ranks 2nd, defence 7th — and on defence lower is better. Across 2,387 possessions at a pace of 79.6, that is a net rating of 14.0.

  • MARIUS

    04

    72.0

    TOR scored 72.0 on the MARIUS Score.

    Half of that is true shooting (71.2%), 30% is assists per game (25.3 — 11th in the league) and 20% is ball security (7.1 turnovers a game, 2nd — where lower is better).

  • MARIUS

    05

    8.9%

    TOR gave the ball away on 8.9% of their possessions.

    Basketball-Reference's definition puts the turnover rate at 8.2% of plays used — 7.1 turnovers per game. Both are shown because they answer slightly different questions: one is per possession, the other per play.

  • ANOMALY

    06

    119-61

    Their best night was a 119-61 win against OPP.

    Game 26, a net rating of 75.0 on 77.4 possessions. They made 49 of 75 shots and pulled in 58 rebounds. It came on the road.

  • ANOMALY

    07

    79-121

    Their worst night was a 79-121 loss against OPP.

    Game 17, a net rating of -53.4. They turned the ball over 12 times and gave up 90 points in the paint.

  • RECORD

    08

    13/2

    Their longest winning run was 13 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 4 games decided by five points or fewer (13.3%) and 11 decided by twenty or more (36.7%).

  • RECORD

    09

    10-4

    At home TOR went 10-4; on the road 15-1.

    71.4% of home games won against 93.8% away. Their home net rating was 7.0 and their away net rating 20.2 — the same team, two different levels.

  • CONTEXT

    10

    -10.5

    TOR's scoring margin was 5.6 a game at home and 16.1 on the road.

    That is a home-court edge of -10.5 points a game. Across the league the host outscores the visitor by -1.4, so the venue is doing less for them than it does for the average team.

  • STYLE

    11

    24.0

    TOR's performance swung 24.0 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

    $161.5M

    TOR bought the best record in the league: 25-5 on $161.5M.

    $6.5M per win and the 4th-richest roster in the league — proof that the top of the table is not simply the top of the ledger.
