That’s just cool. And while the names are fun, the numbers aren’t too shabby either. That’s because…
4. Scoring is up – Not a ton, and not quite up to the same level it was when it peaked in 2022-23. But after last year’s dip, some of us were worried we might be seeing a new trend. So far, it doesn’t seem that way (although scoring does tend to drop as the playoffs get closer, so we’ll see).
