NBA 2017-18: Top 5 Offenses Of The Regular Season

#4 Minnesota Timberwolves - 110.8 points per 100 possessions

Denver Nuggets v Minnesota Timberwolves

The Timberwolves managed to pull off one of the best trade heists of the summer, bagging Jimmy Butler in exchange for the 7th pick in the 2017 NBA draft (Lauri Markkanen) and Zach LaVine from a rebuilding Chicago Bulls team. Signing Butler bolstered their win total by 16, despite the fact that Jimmy G missed a ton of crucial games late in the season due to a meniscus injury.

While the Timberwolves were one of the worst defensive teams in the league, their offensive firepower just about put them over the line in a Murderer's Row of a Western Conference playoff race that concluded with a winner-takes-all game vs the Nuggets on the last day of the season.

Andrew Wiggins regressed a bit in terms of an efficiency standpoint, but he has all the tools to turn the momentum around this postseason. Karl-Anthony Towns, meanwhile, made the leap to the All-Star team as well as the 3rd team All-NBA, and is one of the most complete offensive centers to ever play the game. Things are looking good for a Timberwolves franchise that made the playoffs for the first time in 14 years.
