Notes:

Data from -reference.com, with the exception of pace data, which is from ESPN's Hollinger NBA Team Stats. The curves in between ARE NOT to be used to extrapolate data accurately, it merely shows the trend between separate points, as the area under the curves divided by a unit length will not provide the FG% for the range as an average value.
