Highlights
- In the last decade, only three NBA teams won a championship without a top-five offensive rating, but before that, teams with modest offenses could still succeed.
- NBA offenses have become more efficient, with teams no longer able to hold opponents under 100 points. Last year's average of 114 points per game was the highest in decades.
- Analytics have helped teams maximize offensive efficiency by considering factors like total points, field goal percentage, opponents' performance, and free throw percentage in offensive ratings.
