- Project summary:
NBA 2015-2016 season was unforgettable. The Golden State Warriors 73-9 made history. For the playoffs, OKC ended their journey even though they got 3-0 over GSW at first. Following that, the same situation happened to GSW: at the finals, GSW beat CLE by 3-0, but they dramatically lost the following 4 games.

- We published a ShinyApp to give a more interactive way for data visualization:
