Their offense has never looked so good
Over the 15 game stretch, the Raptors offense averaged a whopping 121.2 points per game. That number would be the best in the NBA compared to the 12th, which is where they currently sit in that category.
They were the best team at making shots, converting on just over half of their field goals and 40-percent of their three-point attempts.
They scored 115 or more points in 12 of those 15 games. To put that into perspective, the league average is 111.2.
A lot of the time, a great basketball team can win games they probably didn’t deserve to based on what they did in the first three quarters.
The majority of this streak was almost the epitome of that idea. There were so many games that should have ended in a Raptors loss only for them to come out and dominate the fourth quarter and pull out the W.
A huge part of that was them leading the league in fourth-quarter scoring with more than 31 points in the final frame.
The offense hasn’t exactly been the Raptors’ strong suit throughout this season, but, in the streak, they showed their ability to dominate on that end of the floor.
Add the first-class offense to their elite defense, and you’ve got yourself an unstoppable force.
That’s exactly what the Raps were over an almost one month stretch and their offense was an unexpectedly huge part of it.
