Offensive rebounds were nearly level, so threes remain Adelaide's single clear edge

Adelaide had 14 offensive rebounds to Melbourne's 13 (a gap of 1, team rebounds included, confirmed by both box_team and play-by-play), so the second-chance edge Trevor Gleeson described does not show up as a second deciding factor; it qualifies rather than adds to Finding 30's three-point explanation. The feed leaves second-chance points and points in the paint blank, so Gleeson's 17 second-chance points and Jacob Chance's 34 points in the paint cannot be checked here. Context: counting individual players only, Adelaide had 13 offensive rebounds to Melbourne's 8, the rest being team rebounds.

Suggested follow-ups
Context
In box_team for this match, what were the three-point makes and attempts for each side, and what was the gap in three-point points? Is that gap bigger than the 2-point final margin?
This turns the qualification into a positive statement. If the threes gap is larger than the margin, it backs Finding 30 as the single deciding factor.
