Again this is why we say handicapping totals is more about pace than offensive or defensive competence. Yes these are beyond debate the two best offenses in the NBA. Golden State has gone under 9-2 the last 11. That includes three of their last four going under by 21.5 or more. That is because they have drastically slowed down their pace averaging 96.63 possessions per 48 minutes after having far and way the fastest regular pace at 100.69. In the postseason, they are sixth slowest. Alas Cleveland has the slowest tempo at 92.95 possessions per 48 minutes.

Also with the long rest, some rust on offense will show.
