Last night and then tonight, the W’s are playing against the two teams who lead the league in pace (pace = # of possessions per 48 mins). The top three teams in pace are close.
- Kings (102.92)
- Suns (102.27)
- W’s (102.22)
But those same three teams aren’t proportionally close in scoring.
- W’s (115.5)
- Thunder (109.4)
- Suns (106.2)
- Kings (106)
And so it was last night. The Suns couldn’t keep pace with the W’s. No one can.
