WNBA Hot Offenses: Indiana Fever 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.

Who's piling it on

Indiana Fever lead the league at 98.0 points per game, 294 in three games, while allowing 273 over the same stretch. The formula has been simple: score first, score often.

Atlanta Dream keep pace at 97.3 per game.

Toronto Tempo (91.5 per game) keep the top group honest.

The other end

Los Angeles Sparks have been the quietest of the bunch: 76.0 points a game in their last 3.

Top to bottom, the gap runs 22.0 points per game, which over a week is the difference between a lineup that scares people and one that quietly hopes for a pitchers' duel.

By the numbers

The full scoring table for the window:

Golden State Valkyries216984.5

Worth remembering

One housekeeping note: the totals count only completed games inside the window, and every figure comes straight off our own results table, nothing modeled, nothing projected.

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

The schedule cooperates, too, Indiana Fever face Dallas Wings next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
