Scoreboard tracks the process
Offense-led SQ
Edge comes from shot creation more than defensive suppression — 3rd in expected pts per attempt (1.03) while opponent look quality ranks 12th of 15. Opponents finish +0.02 expected pts per shot above their season norm in this sample.
17–28 with 25/45 SQ wins — getting the better looks more often than the scoreboard (+0.2 avg edge, +1.2 finishing). 29.5 3PA/game (2nd of 15) defines the offense — 34% of attempts from above-break threes.

Season stats use 45 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
Season shot diet
Where Portland 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.
23 home / 22 away tracked. Schedule and travel can move these numbers — compare to full-season def rows above.
Defensive process
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 3rd of 1545 tracked games with box scores. Complements FGA-only defense rows — not part of SQ wins or opponent-adjusted shot quality.
Full process edge
Full process edge per game — expected points from shots and finishing plus free throws, turnover cost, and second-chance value. Positive means this team won the overall process battle more often than not.
-7.7 · rank 12th of 1545 tracked games with box scores. Compare to SQ edge above — divergence means free throws, turnovers, or second chances carried the story.
