How to read this

You're looking down at half a basketball court. The basket sits at the bottom, middle edge and the curved line is the three-point arc. Each colored square is a spot on the floor. The brighter, redder squares mean more shots were taken from there that season. Press play or drag the slider to see how the league's favorite places to shoot have changed.
