Yeah, TMD, ya gotta make those totals add up right!
Small sample sizes be damned!!!
Once upon a time (i.e., April 21, 2021), Portland and Denver played a thrilling game in which both teams made exactly one-third of their 3-point attempts, with the Nuggets finally prevailing by a score of 106 to 105!
