Limits

Box scores record what happened, not why: no injuries or health, defensive assignments, matchups, coaching decisions or play-by-play.

METHOD

Game Score against the player's own regular-season usual line, never blended with last season. How rare a gap is comes from WNBA playoff games of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, each postseason checked on a table fit on the others; the top tier is Unusual.
