The Math / Science
An assist is a pass from one player to another that leads to a basket being scored. If a player throws the ball to another player that makes a shot, then the passer is awarded an assist, the pass has helped, or "assisted" the other player to score. It is somewhat up to the official statisticians whether or not a player is awarded an assist, as there are no clearly defined rules regarding the number of dribbles (bounces of the basketball) that a player can take before making a basket for the pass before to still be considered an assist. For the most part, though, if a pass led to a score without a lot of "one-on-one" play to get the basket, it is considered an assist.
