Daily Nugget: Numbers behind Denver’s surging offense

Although their record over the past five games is not that of a dominant team, the Denver Nuggets have certainly found a rhythm on the offensive end since the All-Star break.

Since the Nuggets took the court for the unofficial “second half” of the season, they have posted an offensive rating of 116.9, which ranks fifth in the league during this stretch (there have been some unstoppable offenses over the past week or so). For reference, Denver owned a 112 offensive rating throughout the first four months of the season.

A large portion of this recent surge can be traced to improved 3-point shooting and a slight uptick in ball movement.
