Thoughts

by Law Murray

The second of five sub-chapters to this season’s NBA Lightweight Report is here. (Here’s how it looked after 16 games.) 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):

 

I’m going to run through each team’s offensive, defensive, and net rankings (efficiency) from November 28 through January 3; all footnotes are statistics since Thanksgiving. I’ll also spotlight the most-used lineup for each team from that range. First, the offensive, defensive, and net efficiency rankings for the entire season all in one place:

  • Offensive, defensive, and net efficiency rankings through January 3, 2020. (NBA.com/Stats)
  • Offensive, defensive, and net efficiency rankings through January 3, 2020. (NBA.com/Stats)
  • Offensive, defensive, and net efficiency rankings through January 3, 2020. (NBA.com/Stats)
