Exercise 2.229 plotted the Golden State Warriors point differential, Golden State points - Opponent points, each minute of one game during their record breaking 2015-2016 season. Adam Pearce of roadtolarissa.com also plotted the game state (winning or losing or tied) every minute of every game over the first half of the Warriors season in Figure 2.91(b). Within this plot each orange dot above 0 indicates a game where they were winning at that minute (point differential above 0 ), and each purple dot below 0 indicates a game where they were losing (point differential below 0 ) at that minute. The darkness of the dot indicates how far the point differential was above or below 0 .

(a) How many games were the Warriors losing at the 24-minute mark (halftime)?

(b) How many games were the Warriors losing at the 0 -minute mark (the end of the game)?
