The highest scoring bench in the NBA last year was the Boston Celtics. That may come as a surprise to those who would have put the San Antonio Spurs or Los Angeles Lakers higher on that list. Boston had 41.8 points per game come from their reserves, more than any other team in the NBA. They were also the third most efficient bench in the league, behind only San Antonio and Indiana.The New Orleans Pelicans meanwhile, were 18th in bench scoring last year.
The scary part is they were 20th in bench efficiency in a year the team had improved production from their backup units.
