= Assist (basketball)
{wiki=Assist_(basketball)}
In basketball, an assist is a statistic that credits a player for a pass that directly leads to a made basket by a teammate. The player who makes the pass is awarded the assist if the recipient scores the basket without any significant interruption, such as dribbling or excessive delay. Assists are important because they reflect a player's ability to facilitate teamwork, enhance ball movement, and create scoring opportunities for others.
