One of the laments fans have had this season regarding the Sun is how bad they often play in the 4th quarter. The eye test alone will tell you they’ve been bad in the 4th but I got curious as to just how bad they’ve been and how their 4th quarter stats compared to their stats in other quarters. I started off just looking at their offensive, defensive, and net rankings per quarter and was pretty shocked at some of the extreme differences between quarters!
I won’t attempt an analysis as to why these differences exist, for now I’m just going to lay out the stats for you.
