You'll probably have a hard time finding people who agree that 66/57/87 against the Sixers is better than 58/71/100 against the Celtics. Not that any particular team is more difficult to shoot free throws against

it was the highest fg% for a team in a single game in over 15 years.

because of 6 missed shots to close the game, the FG% was a hair lower, but here are 2 stats from last night's cavs game

- From the beginning of the 3rd quarter until there was 3:06 left in the 4th quarter, we had 33 possessions and scored on 32 of them. The other possession? We had 3 offensive rebounds, but missed 4 shots.

- According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Cavaliers, who had a season-low six turnovers, are the first team since 1969 to have at least 39 assists and six or fewer turnovers.

And Toronto still only won by two. That's incredible.

Toronto had no right winning that game considering the rebounding and turnover situation.

Of course, they also had no right losing that game considering how amazingly they shot from the field. The Celtics defense wasn't great, but it's not like Toronto had tons of open shots. They were just connecting at an amazing rate.

That was one of the more bizarre, but most entertaining games that I've watched in a long time. The Celts had something like a 23-0 edge in fast break points in addition to the turnovers and offensive rebounds, and shot .494 on 89 shots. And lost.

Take a look at the team's points per shot...114 points on 69 shots from the field, or 1.65 PPS. That translates to a TS% of .737. Long story short, that's not a performance that Toronto, or likely any team in the league, will repeat any time soon.

Celts also had 50+ Points in the Paint, very strange but entertaining game.

Warriors-Suns in November was a bit of a shootout. %'s not quite as high as some in this thread (Warriors 51.5% fg, 46.4% 3pt) but what they lacked in percentages they made up for in volume. 129 points and 13 three pointers.
