Updated Atlanta Hawks Splits Based on Opponent Record

As previously mentioned, the Memphis Grizzlies have joined the ranks of NBA teams above .500 and, in doing so, have, on the basis of the two victories the Hawks scored against the Grizzlies earlier this season, greatly improved how the Atlanta Hawks look when you break down their results into games against teams above .500 and games against teams below .500.

Overall efficiency numbers:

Name	Pace	Off Eff	Def Eff	Diff
all games	90	107.7	105.4	+2.3
over .500	88.8	102.8	107	-4.2
under .500	90.7	110.9	104.5	+6.4

The transfer of the shots against Memphis from the games against teams below .500 category to the games against teams above .500 category makes Atlanta's shot distribution almost exactly the same against opponents better and worse:

Opp	eFG% (inside 15')	%FGA (inside 15')
over .500	49.8%	47.76%
under .500	55.1%	47.9%

Opp	eFG% (16+')	%FGA (16+')
over .500	47.9%	52.24%
under .500	49.4%	52.1%
