Simulation Mechanics & Physics
Ball Trajectory & Rim Dynamics
The shot simulator computes realistic 3D parabolic curves with gravity (g = 9.8 m/s²), factoring in launch angle, entry angle to the rim (18-inch diameter standard basket), and backboard dampening.
Defensive Contest Penalties
Contest levels reflect WNBA tracking telemetry: Open looks enjoy full baseline true-shooting percentage; Late Closeout reduces window by 18%; Suffocating Blitz requires high arc (>50°) to avoid rim deflection.
Season Series & Streak Implications
For Atlanta, clinching a 3-0 record over Chicago locks in head-to-head tiebreaker supremacy. For Golden State, protecting home court keeps momentum soaring in their franchise milestone campaign.
