Eighty-three. Think about that for a second. We're talking about a center, a guy whose career high was 38 before tonight, going for 83 against the Boston Celtics.

The days of an NBA coach barking "shooter's shoot!" without a second thought are pretty much dead. We're in 2026, and if that coach isn't backed by mountains of data, he’s probably coaching high school JV. The analytics revolution isn't coming; it's been here, and it's getting more granular by the season. We’re talking about player tracking data from companies like Second Spectrum in the NBA and StatsBomb in football, giving teams insights that would have sounded like science fiction fifteen years ago.
