Is the Spurs' Secret Strategy the Ultimate Key to Cracking the Thunder's Defense?

For starters, while all of these strategies can be utilized without Victor Wembanyama, the error bars on each of them are so much wider with him on the floor. Part of the reason the Thunder defense can’t be as aggressive in hunting turnovers is that all five defenders need to be aware of where Wemby (fourth in the NBA in defensive DRIP) is on the court at all times.

If someone gambles and doesn’t create a turnover, it could lead to an easy dunk for Wembanyama behind the defense. And staying out of rotation is so much easier when you have a player who can stay with his man until the last minute but still alter shots at the rim because of his insane length and athleticism.
