The Golden State Warriors had 500 dunks during the regular season. That’s a big number. Those noted dunkers in LA, the Clippers, had 414 dunks. The Thunder had 398. Five hundred is a big number. That’s 6.1 per game.
In the first three rounds of the playoffs, Golden State had 66 dunks. That’s 5.5 dunks per game. That’s about right. The bad defenses are gone come playoff time, and the good defenses have tightened down.
Now has come the NBA Finals. In two games against Cleveland, the Warriors have 19 dunks. Twelve in Game 1, seven in Game 2.
