Over the last 7 games, the NBA’s number-one offense in the NBA hasn’t been Luka Doncic’s Mavericks or James Harden’s Rockets but that other three-point-crazy Texas team: the 15-20 San Antonio Spurs.
Crazy may be a relative term, even if the Spurs just posted a new season-high in three-point makes at 19 in their 126-104 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Averaging 32.2 attempts a night since a December 23rd rout in Memphis, they’re firmly middle of the pack over the stretch in the new NBA. Adjust for pace and that figure goes up a bit more, but suffice it to say that San Antonio — still 30th overall in attempts per game but trending the right way — hasn’t completely gone against script in making sure offensive possessions still organically develop from Good to Great™.
