Playoffs: 1-0
Team A have been held to only 91.75 points per game on 41.3% FG and 28.9% 3 PT shooting. They are only grabbing 12 offensive rebounds a game and even more shocking, only 31 defensive rebounds despite having an obvious size advantage against Team B (who are grabbing 33 defensive rebounds a game despite being one of the league?s worst defensive rebounding teams in the regular season). Team B continue blocking 2.5 more shots per game than the much larger Team A. And yet Team A are winning almost every other statistical category other than defensive rebounds, 3PT%, steals and the most important one, POINTS PER GAME.
Quite simply, the Thunder defense is the biggest and most influential X-Factor in this series.
Time for LA to get back to it's championship level defense. This one goes under the total.
UNDER 194.5
