It just tells you what happened, not why it happened. It's a starting point for a deeper dive into understanding a game.
Traudt was +19. Why? Primarily because he was on the court for the big run. What did he do during that run to contribute to it? He hit the 3 on the kick-out from Kalkbrenner, but beyond that you'd have to watch it back to see how he impacted the team during that stretch.
