You can also see in that illustration how we use up so much clock per possession. It makes sense because you have a lead and you want to protect it in the final seconds but it is signifcantly easier to drive early in a shot clock than it is at the end when a defense is set against you. We took over 20 seconds per possession there, it's really hard for a guy like Joe who isn't a top tier athlete to drive against a set defense with 3 seconds on the clock.
