Forced Turnovers a Sore Spot for the Blazers

For the Portland Trail Blazers, a weakness that stands out is fast break offense. Every team has an area in need of improvement. Some need more help than others, but the consistent fact is that no team is perfect. Adam Fromal of Bleacher Report gave a list of every team’s most depressing numbers, with the Trail Blazers’ being “11.7”.

The Portland Trail Blazers had the league’s second-worst opposing turnover percentage, only forcing cough-ups on 11.7 percent of their foes’ possessions.

Fromal’s rationale is that NBA teams generate more efficient offense on fast breaks than on any other type of offensive possession.
