At various points this season, the Celtics have legitimately looked like one of the best offensive teams in NBA history.
The scoring totals are, quite frankly, a little silly…126, 123, 133, 128, 131, 126, 125, 130, 140, 134. That’s a lot of points. For context, the highest-scoring team of all-time, the 1982 Denver Nuggets, poured in 126.5 a night (Side note 1: their opponents averaged 126! Side note 2: They shot 26.8 percent from 3; oh, how times have changed).
Since losing to the Celtics November 18th, New Orleans has the NBA's best scoring margin (+14.
