Two weeks into the 2024-25 NBA season, plenty of trends and early season developments have already stood out.
The defending champion Boston Celtics and West favorite Oklahoma City Thunder are near the top of their conference standings, as expected. But there have been some interesting surprises.
The Golden State Warriors boast the NBA's second-best point differential (behind Oklahoma City and its stifling defense) despite losing Klay Thompson in free agency and playing three games without Stephen Curry.
Curry's brief absence hasn't stopped teams from hoisting 3-point attempts at new record rates, while offenses are also benefiting from more whistles than we saw at the end of last season.
