Okay, so I wanted to look into the player stats for that 76ers vs Lakers game the other day. Didn’t catch the whole thing live, so I needed to see the numbers myself.
Getting Started
First thing I did was grab my phone. I usually just use one of those sports apps, you know, the popular ones. Opened it up and went straight to the NBA section. Sometimes you gotta scroll a bit, especially if a few days have passed.
Finding the Game
Navigated to the ‘Scores’ or ‘Schedule’ part. Then I just had to find the specific date of the game. Once I got the date right, I looked for the 76ers matchup. Found it pretty quick: Philadelphia 76ers vs Los Angeles Lakers. Tapped on that to get the details.
Looking at the Box Score
The app usually shows the main box score right away. That’s where I started. Just wanted a quick overview:
- Who scored the most points for Philly?
- How did the Lakers’ main guys do?
- Checked rebounds and assists leaders too.
You get a feel for the game flow just from these basic numbers. Saw who had a big night and maybe who struggled a bit, you know?
Deeper Dive (Sometimes)
Sometimes, if a player’s points look kinda high or low, I’ll tap on their name or look closer at the full box score. Wanted to see things like:
- Shooting percentages: Field goals (FG%), three-pointers (3P%). Tells you if they were efficient or just took a lot of shots.
- Turnovers: Always interesting to see who was careful with the ball and who wasn’t.
- Minutes Played: Puts the other stats in context. Someone scoring 20 points in 20 minutes is different from scoring 20 in 40 minutes.
For this game, I remember checking the shooting for a couple of players specifically because the final score seemed a bit unexpected based on who was playing. Just wanted to confirm if someone was particularly hot or cold from the field.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, that was pretty much it. Just went through the app, found the game, checked the main stats, and then looked a little closer at some specific numbers that caught my eye. It’s always good to see the actual stats breakdown after watching or hearing about a game. Helps you understand what really happened on the court beyond just the final score.
