NBA 2017-18 Season: Top 5 Teams in transition scoring

#3 Milwaukee Bucks - 22.8 points per game

The Bucks' entry might raise some eyebrows, knowing that the team lies near the bottom of the league, in terms of pace, courtesy Coach Jason Kidd.

Although the Milwaukee coach wasn't worried about pace, the team found itself ranked second in transition frequency last season, with 19.4% of their possessions coming in transition. Ironically, they are sandwiched in between the Lakers(19.5%) & the Warriors(18.6%), two of the most fast-paced teams in the league.

Another shocker of a start being that they ranked second in the league in regards to possessions in transition per game(20.5), trailing only the Lakers(22.1).

Armed with dynamic playmakers in Giannis Antetokounmpo, Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton, the Milwaukee Bucks have solidified themselves as one of the elite teams in transition across the league.

There's plenty to be said about the way they played in the past season, but the modus operandi in which they controlled fastbreak on both ends might well be something they would have worked to maintain.
