Better looks, empty record

Defense-led SQ

Edge comes from tightening opponent looks and volume more than generating elite offense — 3rd in expected pts allowed per game (66.1), 13th of 15 in shot diet (0.99 expected pts per attempt). Opponents shoot about their usual rate per attempt against this team.

10–28 despite 24/38 SQ wins — +1.2 avg edge but -3.3 on finishing. When they had the better looks (24 games), they're only 5–19. Better process hasn't translated to the standings. 43% FG ranks 14th of 15 on 19.1 3PA/game — 30% of attempts from at the rim.

vs expected

Season stats use 38 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
