With scoring up almost 10% in the last 5 years I dive in and take a look at how shot selection has changed over that time. I also look at if the increased scoring due to more efficient shoots or just more shots.

Then we wrap up our look at the top defenses in the league and how they are doing it. Where do the top defensive teams excel: Transition D or 2nd Chance Points?

From where are the best defensive teams giving up the most shots?

Points per attempt from the 4 areas on the floor:

Restricted 1.26

Corner 1.16

ATB3 1.05

Other 0.80

We go start with the Eastern Conference heavy weight showdown between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76'ers. Then we turn to an exciting Central Division OT thriller featuring the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons. Up north we have a pair of under-performing Northwest Division teams jockeying to be the team that jumps into the playoff race. Capping off the night we have Russell Westbrook returning to OKC in an emotionally charge game that did not disappoint.
