shot chart

Basketball location diagram

A shot chart is a visual diagram of a basketball court (or other playing surface) showing where shots were taken and whether they went in.

Analysts use shot charts to identify scoring patterns, hot zones, and weaknesses: His shot chart shows he's deadly from the corners but struggles in the midrange.

The term extends to similar visualizations in hockey and soccer.
