The catch, of course, is that this team’s offensive success has a lot to do with pace. On the season, OKC is playing at the league’s seventh-fastest pace.
Unfortunately for this group, it drops down to 15th when you look past those stats and look exclusively at offensive efficiency.
When considering defense, things get worse for this group. Let’s start with the raw stats: points per game.
In terms of points per game allowed, the Thunder are giving up 104.6 points per contest. That number is only good enough for 18th in the league.

But when looking further, the Thunder are actually eighth in points per game allowed.
This is a classic sitation where pace allows for more points to opponents despite a team actually playing well on that end of the floor.
Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee enters this point in the season as the ninth-best team in terms of points per game allowed. How does that translate to defensive efficiency?
This group is No. 9 in the NBA in that category.
Offensively, the Bucks are scoring 105.1 points per contest. That number is good enough for 15th in the league.
Even better news is that this group is playing at a pace that is tied for 19th in the league with the Toronto Raptors. Why is dropping in standings good news?

That’s because this team is actually ultra-efficient on offense.
So far on the year, the Bucks are the eighth-most efficiency team in the NBA.
