Has anyone else noticed that we’ve been shutting down a lot of guards? Off hand, we held Hardaway to 5 points tonight, held Lou Williams to around 5 points too. Held Donovan Mitchell to 1/10 shooting. These are top options on their teams! Also- first team in 11 games to hold Harden under 40. Theories?
Harden had 5 straight of 40, not 11. And 38 is pretty darn close so I wouldn’t necessarily call it “holding him”. But it does seem like our D has improved a bit.
I thought it was 10 and our game was 11th. Thanks for correction. We did hold him to 13/35 shooting and the NBA app recap was a breakdown of how awesome our defense was on him. Wish I knew how to post that.
