    ok, this works, for those wanting to read the article at the WSJ website, but are getting blocked by a login from the link in the OP, click the link from their twitter post ... they get clearance.

    imso, you need to read it at WSJ, because it has so many charts, pics and vids.

    I can confirm that the Twitter method works. Thanks for figuring that out.

    There’s reason to doubt some of the numbers in this article, if the source is the normal in-game play by plays. Made and missed shots may not be coded as “step backs” consistently.

    Thx for sharing the article. Glad I could help, cheers.

    Yeah, I've found the twitter link method works nearly always with any site that otherwise blocks you.

    Whenever you encounter a block from a brick-n-mortar, newspaper/magazine link, check to see if the content provider is promoting the link themselves via their twitter account. Referrals from their official posts usually is cleared.

    Hard to believe that the Lakers are shooting 55% as a team on step-back 3's

    The Lakers shot 55% on step back 3s? I think your data might be bad
