This past Wednesday’s 10-game NBA slate marked the 84th day (excluding NBA “dark nights on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve) of 2018-19 regular-season play – 84 down, 84 to go (excluding the six-day ASB and the league’s yielding of the hoops stage to the NCAA on April’s first Monday).
Last season at this same point, a mere five NBA teams – GSW, Houston, Toronto, New Orleans, Cleveland – were scoring 110+ points per game, while two – Memphis, Sacramento – were posting fewer than 100 ppg for their half seasons.
For this year, SIXTY PERCENT of the league averages 110+ ppg, topped by the Bucks at 117.
