What happened: Analyst Kirk Goldsberry flagged a stark plus-minus split, noting Luke Kornet at -18 through six minutes while Victor Wembanyama sat at +12 across 15 minutes. The post captured an in-game scoring-margin swing measured against each player's time on the floor.
Why it matters: Plus-minus tracks how the scoreboard moves while a player is on the court, so an 18-point hole in just six minutes points to a lopsided stretch around Kornet. Wembanyama's positive figure over a longer shift underscores the two-way impact he provided during his minutes.
By the numbers: Luke Kornet: -18 in 6 minutes. Wembanyama: +12 in 15 minutes.
What to watch: Watch whether the rotation tightens around the lineups driving the swing and how each player's margin holds as minutes accumulate.
