The Utah Jazz have been dynamite on offense this season. Their scoring punch has been a total team effort, spearheaded by their backcourt stars in Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson.
Sure, people know the Jazz have been good this year. After all, Utah finished the season with the best record in the NBA at 52-20. But casual fans who never catch their games might not realize just how consistently potent their offense has been.
The Jazz made double-digit 3-pointers in every single contest of the 72-game regular season. Considering the ebbs and flows that come in every NBA game, that's absolutely insane to think about.
The 3-point revolution has been in effect for years now. We've had teams like the James Harden-led Houston Rockets that would take an ungodly amount of 3-point shots per game. The Golden State Warriors have had the greatest shooter of all time in Stephen Curry for a decade, with another all-timer in Klay Thompson flanking him.
Neither of those teams have achieved this feat, not even when Kevin Durant joined the Splash Brothers in Golden State. The Rockets teams with Harden even attempted more triples than this Jazz squad.
Jordan Clarkson ends the season as the Jazz's leading 3-point producer. He finished the year with 208 made treys, 25 triples ahead of the next highest mark from Joe Ingles at 183.
Donovan Mitchell leads the team in per-game average from downtown, knocking down 3.4 a night before he got injured. Clarkson came in second at 3.1 per contest, but he did so in the least amount of minutes compared to the rest of the team's top-five threats from deep.
With an entire team full of snipers like Mitchell, Clarkson, Conley, and Joe Ingles, plus a defensive Goliath in Rudy Gobert, the Utah Jazz are out to prove their NBA-best regular season was no fluke.
