[Metric] Rockets is the second best team against cross conference battles this season!
Found one interesting metric, although rockets only ranked 5th in the Western Conference, but they are doing very well beating Eastern Conference teams. Does anyone know why?
- Spur 26/30
- Rockets 23/30
- Thunder 23/30
- Piston 21/30
- Lakers 20/30

Interestingly, the best team across all seasons is not the 73-9 Warriors, it’s the Thunder last year.
- Thunder (24-25) 29/30
- Celtics (72-73) 34/37
- Mavericks (06-07) 27/30
- Warriors (15-16) 27/30
- Lakers (99-00) 27/30

Notice teams in Texas appear more, is it because cross-conference travel is less distant?
