WNBA Hot Offenses: New York Liberty Are Pouring It On

Published

No player box scores landed in our archive for this stretch, so we will let the team totals do the talking. Scoreboards do not lie: here is who has been piling up points in WNBA over the last seven days.

The loudest offense

The most dangerous offense right now belongs to New York Liberty: 203 points across two games, 101.5 a night, against 177 allowed. That is a margin you can feel from the cheap seats.

Right behind them: Indiana Fever, averaging 98.0 points themselves.

Nor is it a two-team story, Minnesota Lynx are averaging 95.3 themselves.

The other end

Las Vegas Aces bring up the rear at 81.3 points per game over 3 games. Every lineup goes quiet sometimes; theirs has picked now.

That is a 20.2-points-per-game spread between the two ends of the table, and margins like that are exactly where weekly form shows up.

The board

The leaders, in one glance:

Minnesota Lynx328695.3
Seattle Storm219095.0
Dallas Wings218492.0

Worth remembering

Everything above is counted from completed games in the window and nothing else: no strength-of-schedule massage, no projections, just the scoreboard.

A week of scoring says plenty about form and nothing certain about tonight, offense arrives in waves, and waves recede.

Next up on the slate: New York Liberty against Los Angeles Sparks. Check back after that one goes final.
