Specific tweaks to the spacing on the floor and offensive pace led to the Utah Jazz surging for a 10-game winning streak that took everyone by surprise. Leading the league in three-point percentage (38.5%), the Jazz have seen a meteoric rise through the West leaderboard. They are currently tied for the third spot with an impressive 32-15 (0.681) win-loss record.

Statistically, they've had 27 clutch encounters this season so far and have come out on top in 19 of them. Playing at full strength, they have three players on the roster who are scoring at least 15 points per game, making it nightmarish for opponents to cramp their production down the stretch.


#1 Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks are leading the league in almost every category

The Milwaukee Bucks will not settle for anything less than an NBA Finals berth this year. They lead the league with an insurmountable 41-6 (0.872) record so far, while dropping over 120 points per game.

As was expected, they are inarguably the best team in the league when it comes to clutch wins (win percentage of 0.813) as well. Led by a cold-hearted machine in Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks as a whole, have been exhibiting the mental toughness characteristic of a championship side.

The team shoots an impressive 44% from the field in crunch minutes and as a result, has only lost in 3 of its 16 close encounters so far this season.
