What it means

As the season moves deeper into late January, the margin between climbing and sliding in the standings narrows, and overtime results can matter disproportionately. Teams that can consistently bank points—even without dominating—often stay in the playoff mix longer, while shaky execution late in games can turn a strong week into an average one.
