Shots All Around
There are two aspects to perfect when playing the game of basketball; these two aspects are offense and defense. In our project we will be focusing on offense and more specifically the shooting percentage from the three-point line, the free throw line and overall shooting percentage from the field. Statistics have long been a part of the game of basketball and more specifically the NBA. The current study took 5 of the top teams from each the Western Conference and the Eastern Conference to compare shooting percentage and to see if there is a direct correlation to winning games. Comparing the shooting percentages of teams will allow us to see if a high shooting percentage is vital to winning games or are other aspects of the game such as defense.
