Spurs leading 16 stat categories during win streak

[Guapo]

It was the latest conquest in a streak that has seen the Spurs just win 18 games, but dominate in the process.*As Sports Illustrated’s Ben Golliver noted on Twitter during the game, the Spurs are leading the NBA during their streak in no fewer than 16 statistical categories:

* Points scored/100 possessions (112.5)
* Points allowed/100 (96.5)
* Net rating (plus 16.1)
* Field goals made (41.9 per game)
* Field-goal percentage (49.3)
* 3-point percentage (43.9)
* Effective field-goal percentage (55.3)
* True field-goal percentage (58.8)
* Defensive rebounds (36.2)
* Assists (28.4)
* Assist/turnovers (2.03)
* Assist percentage (67.8)
* Blocked shots (6.5)
* Points (111.2)
* Point differential (plus 16.6)
* 3-pointers allowed (5.9)

The end is likely nigh, with Thursday’s game at Oklahoma City providing a perfect opportunity for Popovich to rest his troops for what will be their fifth in seven nights. But the way things are going, even he might not be able to stop the Spurs.

eFG%

Effective Field Goal Percentage; the formula is (FG + 0.5 * 3P) / FGA. This statistic adjusts for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth one more point than a 2-point field goal. For example, suppose Player A goes 4 for 10 with 2 threes, while Player B goes 5 for 10 with 0 threes. Each player would have 10 points from field goals, and thus would have the same effective field goal percentage (50%).

I assume True Field Goal percentage is just the standard FG%.

Let's rest against Golden State.

The one stat that jumps out at me is winning point differential (16.6) No game is determined by a last second shot by a Lebron James or a Kobe Bryant.
We are dominating while we play our players limited minutes. Cool Huh!
