Animation of Cumulative Wins, by Team, Over Time

The first visualization is an animation of cumulative wins, by team, over time. This animation allows you to see how each team’s record has evolved throughout the season, and get a sense of which teams are consistently performing well and which are struggling. You can use the controls to pause, rewind, and fast-forward through the animation, and see how each team’s record changes from day to day.

Trend Graphs of Cumulative Wins Over Time

In addition to the animation, I’ve also included trend graphs of cumulative wins over time, arrayed by team. These graphs allow you to see the overall trend in each team’s record over the course of the season, and get a sense of whether a team is on the rise or falling off.

Scatter Plots of Points Scored vs. Points Allowed

Another visualization I’ve included is a set of scatter plots of points scored vs. points allowed in each game of the season, arrayed by team. These plots allow you to see how each team is performing offensively and defensively, and get a sense of which teams are particularly strong in one area or the other.

Bar Graphs of Games Played by Point Differential

I’ve also included bar graphs that show the number of games played by each team, broken down by points differential.

Bar Graphs of Points Differential Over Time

In addition to the bar graphs of games played by points differential, I’ve also included bar graphs that show the points differential for each team over time. These graphs allow you to see how each team’s performance has evolved over the course of the season, and get a sense of whether a team is consistently strong or prone to fluctuations.

Data Tables with Choropleth Shading

Finally, I’ve included a data table that compares individual players’ per-game stats, with choropleth shading to highlight the best and worst performers in each category. These table allows you to see how each player stacks up against their peers, and get a sense of which players are having the most impact on their team’s performance.

I hope you find these visualizations and data tables helpful in understanding the current NBA season. Thank you for visiting the page.
