NBA shot distance per season; Field goal attempts, makes and percent for different ranges (Playoffs)

NBA playoffs shot distance data for ranges in 5ft intervals thanks to the NBA API. Data used was the average of each team per season, with the values being per game.

A continuation from this post which was the regular season.

The range intervals are:

  • 5ft and less
  • 5 to 9ft
  • 10 to 14ft
  • 15 to 19ft
  • 20 to 24ft
  • 25 to 29ft
  • 30 to 34ft
  • 40ft plus

The three-point line in the NBA is 22 feet in the corners and 23 feet elsewhere, which sees the data points 20-24ft, 25-29ft, 30-34ft and 40ft plus as 3 point range shots and 15-19ft as long mid-range.
