The 2015-2016 NBA regular season is over, so here are the 16-game splits for games 65-80, plus the amount of wins for games 81-82 (asterisks placed on teams that would make the postseason if only six teams made it per conference for this split only):

As I did for the START, OLD YEAR, ALL-STAR BREAK/MIDSEASON, and POST-TRADE DEADLINE reviews, I will run through each team’s offensive and defensive rankings (efficiency); the time period here will be from March 13 through April 13, the final day of the regular season. I’ll add in the most used lineup during that timespan, with net efficiency and minutes played.
With the 2016 NBA Postseason underway this weekend, be sure to look out for the annual NBA Bandwagon Report!
