As a data-driven analyst raised in the Northeast, I watched this game not for drama—but for the silent patterns beneath the box score. Ben Saraf, 6'6" with a -7 plus-minus, moved like a theorem in motion. Noa Essengue, off the bench, whispered efficiency through calculated risk. This wasn’t entertainment. It was Bayesian inference made visible: 13 minutes of precision against hype. The numbers don’t cheer. They calculate.
