The Golden State Warriors Offense

Stat: 115 Offensive Rating 

This seems like a good place to start.

The Golden State Warriors offense has been rolling after a sluggish first couple quarters. Golden State is averaging about 115 points per 100 possessions.

If they continues that pace, ESPN’s Sharon Katz says they’ll crush the 2009-2010 Phoenix Suns for 112.7 points per 100 possessions, the highest total since the NBA began recording turnovers in 1973.

And with Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green in the lineup on a nightly basis, there’s nothing to suggest that they’ll slow down anytime soon.
