What an insane start to the season all around for Indiana 🤯
Those Denver teams were 21st and 13th in Offensive Rating and that Spurs team was 3rd in the league. All 4 teams led their respective years in Pace. The Spurs and this years Pacers both played about 1 possession per game above the 2nd place team and about 5 possessions above league average. The 88 Nuggets were basically tied with the Warriors for pace and were 7 possessions above league average. The 91 Nuggets went insane and were 10 possessions above the 2nd place Warriors and 16 possessions per game above league average.
