The NBA Finals entered a crucial phase, with the Nuggets already leading the Heat 3-1 before Game 5. In the past few games, the Nuggets have been steady, getting closer to the championship trophy.
It is worth mentioning that the recent performance of Nuggets player Gordon is quite eye-catching, his plus-minus has reached 53 points, which is the highest positive or negative value in the past five years of the Finals. At the same time, Murray and Porter Jr. also scored 43 and 29 points, respectively, which shows that the Nuggets players are excellent in both offense and defense.
It is worth mentioning that from the data of previous years, Gordon's 53 points plus or minus also set a record for the highest in the past five years of the Finals. In the 2023 Finals, Gordon, Murray and Porter Jr. are once again in the top three. In the 2019 Finals, Danny Green, Lowry and Powell were the top three.
I believe that in the future, data such as positive and negative values will attract more and more attention from fans. Player performance isn't just about scoring, assisting, and rebounding, it's evaluated from a deeper perspective. We hope that such data will provide more thinking and analysis for fans and basketball enthusiasts, and provide us with a deeper understanding of the performance of basketball players.
