In crunch time, I think the perception of our team has been our tendency to run a slower pace and our reliance on running ISOs. Running a slower pace makes sense late in games especially when we have a lead. I wanted to find out how we executed in clutch situations in relation to our pace.

What might be a bit surprising with those stats is that the lower our pace, the higher our assist ratio. It suggests that when we slow down our pace, we don't necessarily rely on ISOs. Our half court sets have also allowed our defense to set up. On the other hand, when our pace goes up, everything seems to go array.
