There's no question that the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets offenses are simply in a class of their own. Jockeying back and forth all season long for the league lead in offensive efficiency, they are not only the best in 2017-18, but a real threat to challenge last year's Warriors, who finished with the most efficient offense in modern NBA history.
Prior to Wednesday's games against Dallas and Orlando, they were averaging an identical 115.2 points per game. Given that both teams can go off in a moment's notice and lay waste to anyone with paralyzing runs fueled by seemingly endless barrages of 3s, it's tempting to view them as one and the same -- poster children for today's pace-and-space revolution.
