Please do not rely on box score numbers for fast break points. The numbers in the box scores regularly understate the number of "fast break" points.

You can look at the play by play of the game and count how many points developed from possessions that took 10 seconds or less to complete. That is an imperfect measurement of fast break points, but it will be more accurate than a box score total which only counts those possessions during which the official scorer manually added the designation "FB" after the completion of the possession.
