Thank you!

2013 Finals by Play Type. A "play" was determined by the last action (of the following) that occurred before a shot, foul or turnover.

Pick and roll (PnR)
Low post
Pinch post
drive
transition
catch (open, covered, or off screen)
pullup (off dribble)
Offensive rebound putback (OREB)

Some plays are current unclassified due to ambiguity. For all other plays, the last action took precedent. For instance, a PnR that immediately led to a shot (or an open shot off a pass) was scored as a PnR. A PnR that led to a switch, then a clearout, then a post-up or drive, was scored as a post-up or drive, since those were the last clearly delineated actions before a shot, foul or turnover.

**Number of occurrences in parentheses. Then Expected Points per play, which = points + 0.76 expected points per foul shot attempt.

Elgee, do you have the breakdown on the Spurs PnR with Parker going against LeBron's defense? That's where LeBron's defense shined and wouldn't show up on the box score you track because LeBron's defense prevented a lot of Parker shot attempts. I read on the ESPN bottomline that the Spurs scored just 2 points off of Parker PnR in Game 7 after averaging 16 PPG from Parker PnR in games 1-6.
