Rarity

Since 2015-16, how many 30-point games came in under 25 minutes played?

This shows how thin the company is beyond the single runner-up, Lual-Acuil's 23:02.

On paceProjection

Projection only: at tonight's rate of points per minute, what would Anthony score over 30 or 36 minutes, and how does that compare with the box-score single-game highs since 2015-16?

This frames the 'what if the restriction lifts' angle the commentators raised. It must be labelled as a projection, and the checked number is tonight's rate.

Context

Since 2015-16, how many players reached 30 points in their first box-score appearance for a club?

This adds debut framing without relying on the unverified restriction claim. It is scoped to first appearances within the box-score window, so it doesn't overclaim career debuts.
