NBA Twitter conversations concentrated between a few teams

The Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trailblazers start a lot of conversations with other NBA teams on Twitter. The Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder? Not so much. To analyze NBA Twitter, Capital News Service built a dataset of every Twitter conversation between two NBA teams' official accounts. We defined a conversation as any chain of replies that includes at least two official NBA team accounts. This matrix chart shows how many times each NBA team has participated in a conversation involving every other team. A darker shade of blue indicates more conversations between that pair of team. Hover over each square to see the exact number of conversations.
