The Jazz have turned games into dunk fests on this 3-0 road trip and it is by design

It’s early yet, but the Jazz are leading the league in terms of the percentage of shots that get hammered down. Nearly one in 10 — 9.9 percent — of the Jazz’s shots have been dunks this season.

The team’s most prolific dunker, of course, is Rudy Gobert, who has 28 already. If you stretch that out to a full 82-game season, it would result in 382 dunks. That’d be, by some distance, the greatest dunking season ever recorded. The NBA has only tracked dunks separately since 2000, but the highest total since then was Dwight Howard’s 2007-08 season, when he dunked 269 times.
