Stats & Analytics
What it is
Learn what drives winning in basketball through context rich stats and team insights.
Cleaning the Glass is a basketball analytics platform created by former NBA executive Ben Falk. It focuses on delivering clean, meaningful basketball stats without the noise of traditional box scores. The site helps fans, analysts, and coaches understand team and player performance through carefully filtered data, removing garbage-time minutes and emphasizing efficiency and context over raw numbers.
How it works
The platform collects data directly from NBA games and processes it to reveal how teams and players perform in real situations.
It offers detailed breakdowns of offensive and defensive efficiency, shooting tendencies, play types, and lineup combinations. Subscribers also gain access to in-depth articles where Falk explains what the numbers actually mean and how they connect to real basketball strategy. Everything is presented in a way that makes analytics approachable, helping fans move from simply watching games to truly understanding them.
