What Offensive Rating Tells Us About Modern NBA Spacing

The league-wide offensive rating trend has continued climbing, but not every rise is equal. Teams with steady rim pressure and high-quality corner threes tend to sustain gains year over year.

A simplified efficiency relationship can be expressed as $\text{ORtg} \approx 100 \times \frac{\text{Points}}{\text{Possessions}}$.

Key takeaways

• Possession efficiency can rise even if pace is flat.
• Three-point volume is useful, but shot quality and turnover rate still drive consistency.
• You can start simple with markdown + lightweight custom components, then scale to richer visuals later.
