    I found this on NBA.com, it's a way of rating how well a player does in the clutch.
    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Nestle Crunch Time Rating

    The Nestle Crunch Time Stat was designed by the NBA and Nestle to provide an innovative way to measure "Crunch Time" performances -- players who step up when the game is on the line! A formula has been created to measure the top Nestle Crunch Time players, and the formula kicks in when Crunch Time kicks in -- the last two minutes and all overtime periods.

    Here's the formula:

    (PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) - ((FGA - FGM) + (FTA - FTM) + TO) + 4 points if their team wins

    Note: If the point differential of the game is greater than 15 points at the two-minute mark, only the losing team's players will be eligible to earn Crunch Time points.

    LBJ is the best player in the clutch as of this season. The Cavs, Raptors, and Pacers have great players in the clutch.

    Steve Francis has definently showed his ability to perform in the clutch in the last couple of weeks.
