Share of each team's classified sequences, sorted by the share before eight seconds.
Across the league, 2671 classified sequences split into 785 early (29,4 %), 1247 middle (46,7 %) and 639 late (23,9 %). Frøya leads the under-eight-second share, while Fyllingen has the shortest mean time. Centrum and TNT have the largest late shares; Kongsberg concentrates in the middle.
Counts of early, middle and late first resolutions. Offensive rebounds are separate events and are not added as new attacks.
The largest share of very early resolutions (36.8%). Twenty-nine of the 81 early sequences start after a steal and 36 after a defensive rebound; transition opportunities help explain the profile. The lead over Fyllingen depends on where the early cut is drawn.
265 detected first resolutions, of which 45 were not classified. 39 offensive rebounds recorded in the play-by-play (continuations, not new starts).
The shortest mean time to first resolution, 10.1 seconds. Almost half the classified attacks end in the middle band, while only 40 reach 16–24 seconds. Forty-two of the 88 early sequences follow a defensive rebound.
289 detected first resolutions, of which 40 were not classified. 51 offensive rebounds recorded in the play-by-play (continuations, not new starts).
Early play is prominent (34.1%), but the 61 long sequences show a broader mix than Fyllingen. Forty-one of the 91 early starts follow a defensive rebound and 23 follow a steal.
318 detected first resolutions, of which 51 were not classified. 67 offensive rebounds recorded in the play-by-play (continuations, not new starts).
All six games are included. Its 112 early sequences are the league's largest raw count, partly because Tromsø has played more games. The rate is 30.7%, close to the league level, and the middle band dominates.
442 detected first resolutions, of which 77 were not classified. 91 offensive rebounds recorded in the play-by-play (continuations, not new starts).
The split is fairly balanced: 30.2% early and 25.3% late. Defensive rebounds precede 39 of the 68 early sequences, while 32 of the 57 late ones begin after an opponent's made basket.
263 detected first resolutions, of which 38 were not classified. 58 offensive rebounds recorded in the play-by-play (continuations, not new starts).
The middle band accounts for 46.8%, with 90 attacks reaching the late band. Sixty-one of those 90 follow an opponent's made basket, consistent with more measured half-court starts in that situation; the event log alone cannot establish a tactical choice.
412 detected first resolutions, of which 64 were not classified. 50 offensive rebounds recorded in the play-by-play (continuations, not new starts).
A comparatively high late share (28.5%). Fifty-nine of the 91 late sequences start after conceding a basket. The 83 early sequences are real too, so this is a distribution with both tempos rather than a uniformly slow offence.
411 detected first resolutions, of which 92 were not classified. 57 offensive rebounds recorded in the play-by-play (continuations, not new starts).
The highest share at 16–24 seconds (29.9%) in this sample. Thirty-four of 58 late sequences follow an opponent's made basket. Its smaller classified sample makes narrow differences from TNT and Nidaros especially tentative.
247 detected first resolutions, of which 53 were not classified. 40 offensive rebounds recorded in the play-by-play (continuations, not new starts).
Late sequences make up 29.1%. Fifty-nine of its 80 late sequences start after an opponent's basket, suggesting that inbound situations contribute to the measured time. There are also 67 resolutions before eight seconds.
337 detected first resolutions, of which 62 were not classified. 56 offensive rebounds recorded in the play-by-play (continuations, not new starts).
The fewest early attacks by share (23.9%), yet only 22.5% reach 16–24 seconds. The defining feature is the middle band: 112 of 209 classified sequences (53.6%). Few very early attacks do not automatically mean many very late ones.
254 detected first resolutions, of which 45 were not classified. 44 offensive rebounds recorded in the play-by-play (continuations, not new starts).
Source: official BasketLive play-by-play for 24 BLNO Men games through 11 October 2026. An identifiable start is a defensive rebound, steal/turnover or opponent basket (including a final made free throw). The first resolution is a field-goal attempt, turnover or foul leading to free throws. Time is measured in whole game-clock seconds. Bands are 0–7, 8–15 and 16–24 seconds, with no overlap.
Of 3,238 detected sequences, 436 are interrupted by a foul, 79 lie outside 0–24 seconds and 52 are ambiguous at the same second as an opponent shot. Unidentifiable starts are absent. Offensive rebounds continue an attack; the team count is rebound events in those games, not classified attacks arising from rebounds. It is not a fourth time band and must not be summed with the three bands.
An opponent basket approximates the following inbound, not the exact moment of control. Same-second events and some changes of possession require heuristic ordering. An early turnover is an early resolution, not necessarily a good attack. Close rankings depend on method: with a ten-second early cutoff, Fyllingen leads Frøya. This is a descriptive early-season sample, not proof of coaching intent.
