Anyone more familiar with basketball that could explain why there are so many from the 1960s and 2020s but only three between 1963 and 2017? Gameplay changes? Really weird chance?

2020s: extremely high offensive efficiency. in points per 100 possessions, the league average in each of the past 4 seasons has been higher than that of the 73-win Warriors (generally considered the best regular season team ever).

50s-60s: teams played with an absurd amount of pace, running down the court and shooting immediately.
