6. fast break 30,925 turnovers 35,353
4.1% of the games decided by 1 point.
I was surprised by so few dunks, only 32 TD's, and so few 1 point games(50 out of 1230)
I think coach got 5 out of 6 correct.

I was going to guess around 5% of games decided by 1 point. NBA teams seem to be more willing to play for wins, rather than play for overtime. How many times have you seen a team take a 3 as the final shot while trailing by 2?
