Boy, those '01 Lakers sure were special! At least some of their 1st 3 quarters could be attributed to injuries.

Also, the game-weighted NBA average in any given quarter is still going to be zero.

Also, if you could de-trend the results by presenting them as differences to the quarterly NBA averages, that would also help to provide a clearer picture.

Kobe was +5, Fisher was +2.5, Fox was 0, and everybody else was negative (especially Rider, Shaw, George, Madsen, Penberthy, & Lue).
