    The Thunder play the best defense I’ve seen a team play in a long time. Just smothering for 48 minutes.

    Amazing how the Cavs art rolling with a starting backcourt of 6'1" & 6'3". I realize they have length up front but they have two small gunners in the back court.

    neither of their starting guards are CP3 on defense, but neither are a complete sieve on defense like Ant. Besides that, the Cavs have been on a historic hot streak from three this season; their 3ptFG percentages:

    Isaac Okoro .492
    Craig Porter Jr. .455
    Caris LeVert .447
    Darius Garland .431
    Evan Mobley .418
    Ty Jerome .416
    Donovan Mitchell .413
    Georges Niang .387

    those 8 players combine to average 33.7 Three ptFGA/game. They lead the NBA in 3ptFG% at .404. They are also 1st (by substantial margins) in TS% and eFG%. They are 1st in offensive rating and 7th in defensive rating

    however, one small dark cloud on the horizon: to this point they have had the easiest schedule in the NBA. The rest of the season their SOS ranks as the 5th most difficult
