While a lot of my time in this space has been dedicated to pointing out the Trail Blazers shortcomings on the defensive end, from time-to-time we must acknowledge the continued greatness of their offense.
Last season, they scored below the league average offensively but have risen to the top of the league in terms of offensive efficiency.
The website Statcenter posted a very cool chart that visualizes the rapid rise of the Blazers offense, as they’ve improved more than any other team in the league in terms of points scored per 100 possessions.
