WNBA Hot Offenses

WNBA Hot Offenses: Los Angeles Sparks Are Pouring It On

Published

Sometimes the cleanest read is the simplest one, points on the board. Over the last seven days, these are the WNBA offenses that have been doing the piling.

Setting the pace

Los Angeles Sparks top the table with 178 points in two games, 89.0 per game, with 156 going the other way.

Right behind them: Phoenix Mercury, averaging 87.0 points themselves.

Nor is it a two-team story, Atlanta Dream are averaging 86.0 themselves.

The quiet end

New York Liberty bring up the rear at 72.5 points per game over 2 games. Every lineup goes quiet sometimes; theirs has picked now.

That is a 16.5-points-per-game spread between the two ends of the table, and margins like that are exactly where weekly form shows up.

At a glance

One more thing

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.

Scoring comes in waves. This is where the wave is right now, where it breaks next is anybody's honest guess.
