By
InsideHoops.com
Based on statistics, we present a list
of the categories that each team excels at above all
other categories. In other words, what each team is
best at. If a team is #1 in the entire league for a
particular category, it's noted. Everything is Per Game,
not totals. Defensive stuff is not included, we're talking
about what teams do, not what their opponents do.
Atlanta: Free throw percentage
Boston: Steals (#1 in league)
