Orlando–Washington has the kind of quarter split that makes a final score feel incomplete. Orlando led after the opening quarter, then managed only nine points in the third and lost 103–94. The box score shows Orlando took more shots overall, yet Washington made more field goals and got to the line more often. Was that third quarter mostly about Orlando's shot selection, or did Washington change which looks were available?
Our provisional result has Washington winning the third quarter 19–9. The final stat feed records Orlando at 37 makes from 80 field-goal attempts and Washington at 40 from 75; Washington also took 18 free throws to Orlando's 10. Those totals describe the swing, but the possession-by-possession cause is still an open question.
