Great breakdown! Must have taken hours to track down all those turnovers.

If you ever need to watch video for something, NBA.com has basically every recorded statistic. All I had to do was go to Stats, selected team, switch per mode to totals (might not matter), and then you click on the stat you want video of. The stats with video are in blue. You can do it for players as well.

Now THIS is basketball journalism

Turnovers and steals are some of the easiest things to (even subconsciously as a scorekeeper) favor home guys on, because you can’t say with 100% certainty at times who caused them

The problem is they use Statcast since I believe 2001. The 90's inflation was when they used home town scorers. I read an article, I believe was in the Athletic recently, breaking down how Jordan's defense stats were inflated during his dpoy season. He would average double the blocks and steals at home than on the road. This deviation is tiny in comparison. Not buying it but a good read nonetheless.
