Better looks, cold finishing
Defense-led SQ
Edge comes from tightening opponent looks and volume more than generating elite offense — 1st in expected pts allowed per game (62.2), 10th of 15 in shot diet (1.00 expected pts per attempt). Opponents finish -0.02 expected pts per shot below their season norm — the defense is holding them down.
39–15 with 43/54 SQ wins — 2nd in avg SQ edge (+6.4) while finishing lags (-1.6, 9th of 15). They keep winning the look battle even when shots don't fall. 42% FG (15th of 15) looks low, but they live from three — 29.9 attempts and 10.2 makes per game (44% of FGA) — with 34% 3P% (7th of 15) — 34% of attempts from above-break threes.

Season stats use 54 tracked team games (May 1–Oct 24, 2026) from 357 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

Where Golden State shoots across the tracked season — share of attempts by zone and finishing within each area.
Home away defense
Opponent shot quality allowed when this team plays at home vs on the road — same tracked FGA model as season defense.
28 home / 26 away tracked. Schedule and travel can move these numbers — compare to full-season def rows above.

ESPN box-score process on tracked games — turnovers forced, second chances allowed, free throws conceded, plus steals and blocks. Complements FGA-only def rows above.
Opp TO rank 6th of 1554 tracked games with box scores. Complements FGA-only defense rows — not part of SQ wins or opponent-adjusted shot quality.
