Which players play well together?

82games has compiled statistics showing how teams have performed with two specific players on the floor together. These "player pairs" are a complementary data view to our 5-man unit stats that measure unit performance. By focusing on two players at a time we can better understand which guys bring out the best in each other.

Please note that these numbers are in raw form and have not been adjusted for the other players in the five-man unit, nor for the opposing 5-man unit on the floor at the same time. They have been revised however to reflect "continuation" accounting of on court events.
