NBA Clutch Defense Raw Data

This dataset contains 24 spreadsheets covering NBA seasons from 2000–01 to 2023–24. Each spreadsheet includes three tabs: (1) top 50 players by clutch minutes with their clutch-time defensive statistics, (2) all NBA players' regular season defensive statistics, and (3) a comparison sheet with key standardized defensive metrics. All values have been adjusted to per-36-minute rates to ensure comparability across players and contexts. This dataset was used to analyze changes in defensive performance during clutch situations.
