Throughout its evolution, basketball has increasingly begun to be studied, in relation to the game mode, the tactical and technical volume. It became necessary to observe statistical components to improve the study among the teams, seeking to exploit the weaknesses of the opposing teams and to improve the training of their athletes. This study aimed to identify what are the most important fundamentals to win in NBA games, noting the official statistics of the games of the 2015/2016 season. The analysis of the NBA season games of the North American Basketball League of 2015/2016 was used as a method. It was analyzed 797 regular season games out of a total of 1230 (approximately 65%) and 46 playoff games out of a total of 85 (approximately 54%) in the NBA's 2015/2016 season. But the scout serves as a map, as the data that is given to the technician's decision making, which analyzes the other variables of the game and in this point the statistical analysis is very important. The teams that threw more times from the free-throw line and those who converted more had a higher victory rate; the utilization of that point was not significant. Help also proved to be important, especially in the playoffs. The loss of ball possession (turnover) was important when analyzed in the playoffs, as well as the recovery of this possession for theft. The blocks showed relevance in obtaining victory, especially in the playoffs (58.7%)
