San Antonio Spurs Ready To Defend Their Title

On Wednesday night, the Spurs obliterated the Oklahoma City Thunder by the score of 130-91–the same Thunder team that had won four in a row and 15 of its last 20.

The Spurs made 61.9 percent of their three-point attempts (13-of-21) in their victory over the Thunder on Wednesday night. It’s the second time that San Antonio made at least 60 percent of their three-point shots with at least 20 attempts in a game this season (13-for-21 against Minnesota on November 21). No other team has done that more than once this season.

Before Feb. 27 the Spurs were averaging 102.8 points per game, good for the ninth-best output in the league. Since that date they’re putting up 112.4 PPG, the best in the NBA. San Antonio has outscored its opponents by an average margin of 13.4 points in its last 14 contests, a league-best as well.

In each of the Spurs last 11 victories, they’ve won by double-digits, including a 114-95 trouncing of the East-leading Atlanta Hawks on March 22.

The Spurs .495 field goal percentage since Feb. 27 is up significantly from the .463 they were shooting before. In the past month San Antonio also leads the NBA in fewest turnovers per 100 possessions (12.1), effective field goal percentage (adjusted for three-pointers, 54.3) and true shooting percentage (adjusted for threes and free throws, 58.5).
 
15th post
Despite the title...this is defensive stats for the last couple weeks or so (not the whole season). Either GSW's so-called great defense is over-rated (what I believe) or they're coasting to the end. Spurs meanwhile have ratcheted up their D.
