The entire 2022-23 NBA season produced four 60-plus-point performances; we just had four in a span of four days. That concentration of ludicrous point production has prompted no shortage of chatter around the league about the state of play in the NBA, much of it centered on a pair of questions: If, as the adage goes, one’s a fluke, two’s a coincidence, and three’s a trend … well, is four a problem? And, if so, what’s the solution? Last week’s scoring explosions come in the context of a league-wide rising tide in gaudy numbers that’s been swelling for years. In the history of the NBA, only 19 seasons have featured 10 or more 50-point scoring performances; the last nine, from 2015-16 to the present, account for nearly half of that list. Only 10 campaigns have featured 14 or more; the last five, from 2018-19 to today, comprise half of that list … and 2023-24 is already at 13, and it’s not even the All-Star break. https://sports.yahoo.com/..
