As a data-driven analyst rooted in Chicago’s industrial Midwest, I don’t chase hype—I track patterns. In Game 6, the home crowd’s energy isn’t just noise; it’s a statistical artifact. The attendance spike, the rhythm of footfalls, the silence before tip-offs—they all correlate to win probability. I’ve modeled this for weeks. The numbers don’t lie. And when the arena heats up, you feel it in your bones—not because someone said so, but because the data whispered it first.
