Northwest Division TS% Leaders in the Clutch

We know Clutch Time is Dame Time. What other players in the Northwest Division are effective in late game situations?

Listed below are charts displaying 30 players: the top six performers for each Northwest team according to TS% in Clutch Time, which is defined as the combination of FG%, 3P%, and FT% in the last five minutes of a game in which teams are within five points of each other.

Oklahoma City

These six guys are all shooting above 50% TS, which is an impressive feat given the league benchmark being at that clip. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is OKC's best player, and his percentage-volume combo is very promising.

Portland

Lillard's numbers are outright ridiculous when you consider how often he has the ball in his hands in key moments. His usage rate in the Clutch is 36.3%, which is 11.5 percentage points higher than the next player up, C.J. McCollum. It's not just Dame, though. His teammates are shooting very respectable percentages.

Denver

Jokic and Murray are shooting great according to TS%, but their teammates aren't disappointing with their Clutch numbers either. MPJ is shooting 74% and Monte Morris is shooting 81%, which is essential when you have the ultimate facilitator in Nikola Jokic looking to set up guys all game.

Utah

The numbers tell you that the Jazz are absolutely scalding hot in Clutch time, and their superstar isn't even on this list. Donovan Mitchell is just under 50%, and is still the go-to guy when you need a bucket, but his supporting cast shooting this well in close games is very impressive.

Minnesota

Let's face it, Minnesota isn't in close games often and when they are, it obviously hasn't been too pretty. Look at their record. However, surprise role players shooting well in the key situations that do come around for Minnesota is a bright spot this season.
