Game review
What happened
The Cavaliers beat the Nets 125–121 at home. Donovan Mitchell led them with 22 points and 5 rebounds, and Jarrett Allen added 21. For the Nets, Michael Porter Jr. had 28 points and 9 rebounds.
What the model got right
The model gave the Cavaliers an 86% chance at home, mainly because of their higher team-strength rating (94.8 to 79.8), and they won by 4. Recent form pointed the same way: the Cavaliers had been losing by 3.1 points a game, the Nets losing by 13.9.
What didn't work
The pick came through, but only just: a 4-point game is closer than an 86% chance suggests. The Nets made more threes (20 to 16) and still lost.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, the team-strength rating. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 86%, about 1 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
