WNBA Hot Offenses: Indiana Fever Are Pouring It On

Published

This one is team-level by necessity, and honestly the scoreboard tells the story fine. The last seven days of WNBA finals, ranked by points per game.

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.

Right behind them: Atlanta Dream, averaging 97.3 points themselves.

Toronto Tempo are part of the conversation too, at 88.5 points a game.

Where the scoring stops

At the other end, Golden State Valkyries have managed just 72.0 points a game across 2 outings, an attack still looking for its spark.

Top to bottom, the gap runs 26.0 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 leaders, in one glance:

TeamGamesPointsPer game
Indiana Fever329498.0
Atlanta Dream329297.3
Toronto Tempo217788.5
Chicago Sky217587.5
Portland Fire217286.0

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: Indiana Fever against Dallas Wings. Check back after that one goes final.
