NBA Offensive/Defensive Performance Rankings

Here is the ranking of offensive and defensive performances for each NBA team, as determined by "point value over average" calculation.

Offensive "point value over average" is the average number of points the team scores above or below the number of points allowed per possession by their opponents defense, and the defensive "point value over average" is the average number of points the team allows below or above the number of points scored per possession by their opponents. Therefore, on offense a "+" number is good, and on defense a "-" number is good.
