Utah Jazz basketball: A statistical comparison with the Lakers
Ravell Call, Deseret News
Jazz FG%: 44.3
Jazz opponents FG%: 45.0
Lakers FG%: 50.3
Lakers opponents FG%: 44.7
FG%=Field goal percentage
It's interesting to note that even though the Lakers shoot much better than their opponents and the Jazz shoot worse, both teams have the same record of 1-3.
Part of this could be due to the fact that in each team's only victory, they won by huge margins, skewing the numbers a little.
