What am I looking at?
- Individual refs: stats for one official across all Rockets games they worked, even with different partners.
- Team baseline: the Rockets went 421-399 (51.3%) 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 Rockets.
