What am I looking at?

Individual refs: stats for one official across all Warriors games they worked, even with different partners.
Team baseline: the Warriors went 464-356 (56.6%) across this sample. Ref win rates show how they compare to that team average.
Whistle differential: who gets called more. A positive number means opponents are whistled more often than the Warriors.
