That #1 ranked offense (battering sub 0.500 teams with professionalism) turns into the 27th ranked offense in crunch time of close games.
We have some five man units with excellent defensive stats, where only one main player is changed.
Brunson / THJ / DFS / Powell / Porzingis 89.7
Doncic / THJ / DFS / Kleber / Powell 93.5
Brunson / THJ / DFS / Kleber / Porzingis 94.0
Curry / THJ / Doncic / Kleber / Porzingis 96.4
All other 5 man units have a rating of 100+ (minimum 50 minutes).
I also intentionally listed Curry at PG in the last line-up, cause I think that might be the common denominator. Luka is a thick 6´8 and he can´t defend smaller guards. Replace or move him around and we can be lethal defensively.
Kinda sucks that basketball is a 5 man game, cause if it was a 6 man game, we´d just add Brunson and have perfect balance on both ends of the floor.
