Scoreboard tracks the process

Offense-led SQ

15–24 with 20/39 SQ wins — getting the better looks more often than the scoreboard (-1.0 avg edge, -2.2 finishing). 37% of attempts from at the rim.

Season stats use 39 tracked team games (May 1–Aug 25, 2026) from 293 league-wide — not the complete WNBA schedule. Totals refresh as games finalize. SQ wins count games where this team got the better looks; they can differ from W–L.

Public ESPN shot data only — no defender distance or contested-shot tracking. Expected value uses location, player zone history, and shot clock, not how open the shooter was. Methodology
