Who decided it game score — points priced against the shots they cost
How it was won the four factors · 67.8 possessions
| BOS | HOU | |
|---|---|---|
| 108.2 | Offensive rating | 67.3 |
| 58.1% | Effective FG% | 37.3% |
| 58.5% | True shooting | 38.1% |

| 62.1% | Assisted field goals | 54.5% |
Offensive rating is points per hundred possessions, so it is not a rerun
of the score — a team can score fewer and still have played better with
the ball. Turnover rate is the one where lower wins, and the
highlight follows that.
