Unlocking the Spurs’ Secret: What’s Fueling San Antonio’s Unstoppable Rise in the NBA?

It’s working:
For the season, San Antonio ranks 11th in the NBA in offensive possessions per game finished following a dribble handoff, 10th in drives to the basket per game, and eighth in trips that end with a spot-up shot. (Conversely, the Spurs are just below league-average in how frequently they attack out of isolation.) Only seven teams average fewer dribbles per touch, and only nine have a shorter average touch time. The ball doesn’t stick, which means everybody’s a live threat, which keeps everybody engaged, because it can be anybody’s night.
