Wizards Lose to Magic — Inside the Numbers

One game removed from a resounding win over the Miami Heat, the Wizards were out of tricks, and they were blown out by the Orlando Magic, 122-101. Here’s a summary of the key stats that decided the game.

Four Factors

Current Wizards assistant Dean Oliver formalized the four factors that decide winning and losing (offense and defense). The factors:

  • Shooting from the field — measured by effective field goal percentage, which accounts for the effect of the three-point shot
  • Ball handling — measured by turnover percentage
  • Rebounding — measured by offensive rebounding percentage
  • Fouling — measured by free throws made divided by field goal attempts
