For all the talk of the Golden State Warriors’ defense not being as sharp and locked in as it was last season, their offense has been the end of the floor that has underperformed for most of the season.
Before their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Warriors were scoring 114.9 points per 100 possessions with garbage time and end-of-quarter heaves eliminated from the equation — ranked 13th in the league, per Cleaning the Glass.
Thirteenth isn’t too bad. They’re a league-average offense with a half-court efficiency (100.2 points per 100 half-court possessions) that is eighth in the league and well above the league-average mark of 97.
