Scoring is way down in the NBA playoffs. Here are the 3 possible reasons why
Welcome to the mud.The old saw is that the game slows down and offense becomes less efficient in the postseason. While that’s generally true historically, the trend has been more emphatic in some years than others. This year it’s been quite emphatic, indeed.With 14 playoff games in the books through Tuesday, the NBA is experiencing a double whammy — both pace and points per possession are down sharply from the regular season. As a result, scoring is down. Way down.A regular-season NBA contest averaged 231.2 points per game. In the playoffs thus far, that figure is 214, as 17 points a night have vanished into the ether. (Note: All stats via basketball-reference.com through Tuesday’s games.)Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
