Flow-19.FLOW Usage During the NBA Playoffs

Analyze the start of the NBA playoffs (mid-April) and determine whether it had an impact on Flow transaction volume. What about NBA Top Shots?

Methodology

We define Flow Transaction Volume as the number of NFT Sales on Flow in regards to the NBA Top Shots.
Find all the NFT sales from flow.core.fact_nft_sales and filter on marketplace ilike 'A.c1e4f4f4c4257510.%', this is the Top Shot Marketplace.
We compare it against all the non-topshot transaction from flow.core.fact_nft_sales sales.
Also then we look at each sale and join with the metadata based on the NFT Id to find the teams.

Analyze the NBA Conference Finals (May 17th- May 29th) and determine whether it had an impact on NBA Top Shot's volume ?

Looking at the Transaction Frequency, there was a slight spike on May 19 and May 26, 2022, all the other days have not seen much spike as compared to other days.
The Topshot sales have not been much different from the other days in May, so it seems like the finals did not have much impact on the sales.
Percentage wise as compared to overall sales, top shot did not have much change due to the finals as well.

Did the Warriors, Celtics, Mavericks, or Heat see higher sales volume?

Warriors have seen the highest volume 293K in sales since May 1, 2022, however Dallas is close second with 227K in sales.
These are the the two teams that reached the finals.
We do see a direct co-relation of increase in sales of the two teams that reached the finals, seeing increased sales in during the Finals.
