Is the Spurs’ Secret Strategy the Ultimate Key to Cracking the Thunder’s Defense?
The Spurs exploited the few weak spots the Thunder have, and other teams would be wise to try and follow suit.
Hold Onto the Ball
The Thunder have one of the best defenses in recent memory, leading the NBA in defensive TRACR by a wide margin, and it bleeds into their offense.
They force their opponents into the most turnovers per game (17.9) and average 24.6 points off turnovers per game, 2.2 more than the next closest team.
Playing the Thunder is like dealing with a small leak. The first turnover is just one play, but then the next one comes, and the one after that. Before you know it, the house is flooded.
