NBA 2016-2017: OLD YEAR

2017 is here in some parts of the nation, but I’m in the Pacific Time Zone, hustling to get this out before that ball drops. Now that every team has played at least 32 games, here are the 16-game splits for each team’s performance from games 17-32 (with asterisks placed on teams that would make the postseason if only 6 teams made it per conference):
