I love @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social Elam Ending, but it hasn’t felt like a lot of comebacks, so I checked:
11 of 79 games are 3Q comebacks (~14%)
WNBA 2016–2025 ~15.9% have 3Q comeback

I explain WNBA data to 13K+ people on TikTok. Then I taught it in a college classroom.

Is the Aces' new bench strategy working?
Should Alyssa Thomas have made those free throws (statistically)?
