Alright, so I was digging into the stats from the LA Clippers vs. Dallas Mavericks game the other day. Man, what a mess of numbers!
First off, I pulled up the game summary. It was from October 14th, and the final score was 110-96. Clippers won, by the way. Then I started looking into individual player performances.
-
This guy Quentin Grimes from the Mavericks, he scored 20 points and got 4 rebounds. Not bad, not bad.
-
I compared the top 5 players from both teams. Their points, and some other basic stuff. Found out that Luka Dončić is a beast on offense, and Kawhi Leonard is, well, he’s good at everything, it seems.
Then I dove into some articles about roster moves. It’s like a whole other game, you know? The Mavericks waived three players: AJ Lawson, Emanuel Miller, and Jamarion Sharp. I guess they’re making room for some new blood or something.
Odds and Ends
I also checked out the betting odds for the game. Clippers were the underdogs at +208, and Mavericks were the favorites at -255. I didn’t put any money down though, just browsing, you know?
Oh, and I stumbled upon some news about the Celtics beating the Mavs in Game 3 of the Finals. That must’ve stung for Mavericks fans.
So yeah, that’s pretty much how I spent my afternoon, sifting through basketball stats and news. It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but hey, it’s fun for me.
