Making half-time adjustments, which leads to outscoring the opponent in a half, and winning/losing the game while trailing at halftime are not the same thing.
I'd think a "stat guy" like you would understand that basic concept.
The same statistic for the 2008-09 Blazers should have told you that, if you actually did some research.
You just made a causation between second-half margin and W/L record after halftime. Horrible horrible mistake. The two have nothing to do with each other in terms of a coach making in-game adjustments. You can argue the validity of thinking second-half margin correlates to in-game adjustments, but you just compared the two and assigned the same parameter to them.
