For all of the big numbers Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are putting up, the most impressive stat is that Dallas has the league’s No. 1 defense during this run.
Can’t believe JKidd figured it out
Gafford and PJ have been better and more mobile on defense than I expected. They're contributing a lot to that stat.
DJJ, Exum and Green are doing very good on that end too. With DJJ in particular, the Mavs seem to have found a Herbert Jones type of defender, or close enough.
If PJ, DJJ, Exum and Green can knock down more threes at a better rate... it will be great. Especially in key moments.
