Stats are always a sticky wicket - assists are the most open to interpretation and seem to be the most inconsistent, and internationally they count an assist to include when it leads to a shooting foul even if the basket is not made.

Turnovers and steals are next most open to interpretation - who gets the turnover when a bad pass is touched by the intended recipient but not controlled and the lost out of bounds or to the opponent; and who gets the steal when one player deflects but another player actually controls it.

And rebounds can be difficult to determine - KLS deflected a O-board to Naphesa for an easy lay-up - did she get credit for a rebound and assist, or because it was a contested rebound and she never really controlled the ball did Naphesa get credit for the rebound? I believe KLS intentionally directed the rebound but ...

Also on rebounds not totaling properly - there usually some team rebounds (ball when out of bounds with no control off the opponent) so totaling the player rebounds is usually a few reounds less than the team total.
