One of the craziest and best regular seasons in NBA history concludes this week. In four months, each team played 66 games or once every 1.8 days.

Every team had to endure at least one back-to-back-to-back set as part of the compacted schedule, while a dozen unlucky clubs were assigned a pair of three-in-three runs. Those unfortunate teams were as follows: Atlanta, Denver, Detroit, Indiana, L.A Clippers, Minnesota, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Antonio and Washington.

Six teams went undefeated over a three-game stretch, including the Spurs, who went a combined 6-0 over their two back-to-back-to-backs (March 23-25 and April 16-18). The Hawks (March 23-25), Bulls (January 9-11), Heat (February 12-14), Thunder (January 6-8) and Suns (March 14-16) accomplished the feat once.

Five teams were winless over their assigned stretch, including a few playoff teams. The Mavericks (March 8-10), Pistons (January 30-February 1), Clippers (March 20-22), Suns (February 13-15) and Wizards (March 24-26).

Phoenix was the only team to go 0-3 in one set and 3-0 in another.

Overall, teams were a combined 61-65 in back-to-back-to-back sets.

In reality the overall league record in such situations really means nothing, though, with the winning percentage in Game 1, Game 2 and Game 3 more indicative of the physical strain teams endured.

Here is how the league fared in each instance: 

Game 1: 21-21 (.500)
Game 2: 19-23 (.452)
Game 3: 23-19 (.547)

Conventional wisdom would suggest that the winning percentages should have gone down incrementally over each three-game set, but that clearly wasn’t the case. Of course, how a coach handled each set has a profound effect on how a team fares and it is difficult to quantify the adjustments that may or may not have been made.

Getting through three games in roughly 48 hours is difficult, but perhaps the games played right after the set were affected the most. In the five games following their three-game run, NBA teams were a combined 109-79 (.579) this season. There is still some data to cull in that regard, but the winning percentage won’t change drastically.

The Celtics, Cavaliers, Pistons, Warriors, 76ers and Spurs still have games to complete immediately following their back-to-back-to-back set.

The Pacers, Clippers, Heat, Knicks and Spurs all went 5-0 after playing three games in three days. Indiana and San Antonio did it after their first set, while the Clippers ran off five wins following their second bout.

There was great concern about how teams would struggle with so many games in so little time, but the numbers indicate that they fared better than expected. The question remains -- did everyone handle back-to-back-to-backs well or was it just elite playoff teams?

The seven teams that entered Monday night’s action with forty or more wins were a combined 21-9 (.700) in their sets, including Chicago, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Miami, who were 15-0 in their games.

There were 11 teams entering Monday night’s action with thirty or fewer wins. Those clubs were 14-28 (.333) in their back-to-back-to-backs. Only the Nets (3-3) and Blazers (3-3) drew even in their runs. Middling teams, including lower playoff seeds and lottery clubs that lingered in contention, were 26-28 (.481).

There really is no surprise in regard to how teams of different status fared over the compressed schedule. You could agree that teams like the Bulls, Thunder, Pacers and Clippers, and to a degree the Heat, were able to navigate the compacted schedule because of their youth.

The Lakers were able to do so because they have Kobe Bryant and two of the game's best seven-footers and the Spurs are coached by Gregg Popovich and have three probable Hall of Famers.

It’s doubtful we will see the NBA schedule back-to-back-to-backs next season, when 82 games will be spread out over almost six months, but they didn’t dilute the basketball we saw or prove as debilitating as we all expected.
