MIAMI – Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer offered a simple assessment of some of the scores that he’s seen in the early days of this NBA season.“It’s strange,” Budenholzer said.He’s not wrong.There have been only seven gamedays so far this season, yet the NBA has already seen 11 games where one team has led by at least 30 points.
The Bucks have been incredibly topsy-turvy: their last three games have seen them lead Golden State by 43, trail New York by 28 and lead Miami by 51 on Tuesday before winning 144-97 in a game where they set an NBA record with 29 3-pointers.Through 54 games this season, 14 have been decided by at least 20 points — a 26% clip.
