Even money is the hairline. This reading is ours, and it looks at three things: the margin, the clock, and who has the ball. It does not know who is playing, who is hurt or how good either side is, which is why it starts at the tip and why it can disagree with a number that does. The ball is carried forward from the plays that state a change of possession; every other play holds the last known value.

Scoring plays · 104
One pin a scoring play — 104 scoring plays on 92 scoring trips as the game clock groups them, because a basket and the free throw it earned are two plays and one trip. The game's own trip record is not on this read, so the trip number is the clock's grouping and can run high.
HOU 38 baskets, 92 pts · LAL 37 baskets, 100 pts
11 plays moved it 10 points or more — 6 of them in the fourth quarter.
Our win probability, in points: each bar points toward the club the play helped and runs as long as the play moved it against the game’s largest move (23.4). A tap puts the river’s head on it.

Clutch · last 5:00, within 5The game in chapters · points
The Lakers won the third quarter 32–23 — the widest chapter of the game.
LAL left, HOU right — the trips were not read, so the points stand without a rate.
Reading the outside line.
The live projection retired at the horn, and no pregame projection is kept for a game. Reading the league's zone rates to price the shots.
Lakers 100, Rockets 92, final.
