The NBA Has Entered a Golden Age of Buckets
- The 2025-26 NBA season is on pace to set a record for team offensive efficiency at 115.7, signaling a historic shooting era across the league.
- Denver Nuggets are on pace for the most efficient offense, ranking high in both 2-point and 3-point shooting efficiency this season.
- The Lakers rely on elite inside scoring, with Jokic and teammates converting a high rate of 2-point attempts.
- Milwaukee Bucks lead the league in jump-shot shooting efficiency, driven by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s passes creating open looks.
- The Indiana Pacers struggle in both jump-shooting and paint efficiency, helping explain their poor record this season.
- Orlando Magic show notable interior strength but lag in jump-shooting efficiency, limiting overall offensive output.
- The Celtics continue to shoot a high volume of jumpers, balancing a top 3-point rate with more mid-range 2-point attempts.
- Three teams—Denver, Los Angeles, and Milwaukee—are on pace to break team-level shooting records this season.
- Jokic’s 70% two-point and 44% three-point shooting are central to Denver’s efficiency gains.
- The report cautions shot-quality in some categories may undercut hot shooting numbers, especially for Milwaukee’s catch-and-shoots.
