Last 40 years championships won without being top 10 in defensive rating: 3. Interestingly the Mavs are the only team that won a championship without being top 7 in either category.
Yeah, and I believe the most recent team to win without being top 10 defense was Lakers in a year they mostly mailed it in during regular season because they were that good. During the playoffs they had the highest rated defense.
