Solid bars mark a clear box score edge. Edges describe the game and don't establish cause.
Against season averages
Each metric compares home vs away totals (or rates). A difference counts only when |delta| meets the metric tolerance. Overall edge is a plurality of meaningful advantages, not an opaque game score.

Extra chances by quarter
Second-chance points are scored after an offensive rebound, before the other team gets the ball. Points off turnovers are scored on the possession after the other team turns it over. Team rebounds move the ball but don't count as rebounds. Counts come from play-by-play and can differ slightly from the official box score.
The top player on each side in every quarter.
Ranked by NBA efficiency: points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, minus missed shots, missed free throws and turnovers. Counts come from play-by-play and can differ slightly from the official box score.
