Offense-led SQ

14–25 with 12/39 SQ wins — roughly in sync with their process record (-3.2 avg edge, +2.4 finishing). 32% of attempts from above-break threes.

Season stats use 39 tracked team games (May 1–Aug 24, 2026) from 290 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
