For this report, I was given two options either a histogram or a scatter plot and asked to select the one I believe gives the best visual for the distribution of points for Celtics between 2013-2015 and Bulls 1996-1998. For that reason, I have selected to use a histogram. Along with showing their dispersion histograms show which values are more and less common. They are also a good way to identify any outliers as we will see in figure 1. I chose the histogram because the number of points scored each year is irrelevant in my opinion. Figure 1 is a better representation of the average points scored and how many times those points were scored.

MY QUESTION: I am second-guessing myself as to whether or not the histogram is the right choice. I am having a hard time describing the below histogram. I can see multiple peak in the histogram for points scored by my team. I can see that there were roughly 28 games where the Celtics scored 98-104 Points. There is an outlier where they scored 128-134 points two times during the time period. What is the best graph to use? How would you describe the graph?
