Related Topics: rebound

When a team struggles offensively, any way they can generate easy points becomes essential to keeping up with their opponents on the scoreboard. Generally, running in transition and crashing the offensive glass are two key avenues to generate efficient shots, but teams must have the personnel to do so, otherwise it turns into a detriment. It’s still very early in the season, but the Hawks might have found a successful formula on the glass that will help them create these hyper-efficient shots.

Atlanta’s teams under head coach Mike Budenholzer have mostly ignored offensive rebounding—the team has finished 28th, 30th, 30th, and 14th in offensive rebound rate during Budenholzer’s tenure.
