Season box-score numbers; ranks of 361 teams. The tick is the league middle: a bar past it is a top-half unit.
48% of MER's points come in the first half, 47% for the average team.
Average points per game in each period, from box scores, over a team's last 17 games; overtime is pooled into the second half and the game. History, not a forecast: a team that leads late plays differently than one that trails, and a small window swings.
Rank 1 allows the most (softest), among the teams ranked at that position so far. Descriptive history, not a projection for any specific player's next game.
Regular season only, the last 30 regular-season games (Mar 2025 – Mar 2026). Every rank is among the 361 teams with a full sample.
