On paper, it seems like the only factors that matter are how many points a team scores and how many points they allow their opponents to score. Of course, at a deeper level, there are many other factors that influence the outcome of a game. Some of those contributions may be more impactful than others. As the old saying goes, “Whoever controls the rebounds controls the game.” That is true because a team that gets more rebounds gets more possessions. The more possessions a team gets, the more chances for it to outscore the opponent. That is why rebounding is so critically important. But other factors can make a significant difference as well. One such factor is playmaking. When a team has a good playmaker or players who are willing to pass the ball around, it becomes easier for it to find open looks and score a lot of points. That is why, especially in recent years, teams that pass the ball around a lot are some of the most successful teams in the league. This makes passing one of the most critical factors in a game.
