Generally it's harder to defend with when your team pushes pace.

But good defense also leads to fast breaks/ pace.

There is no correlation between pace and defensive ranking per possession. Look at last year, the fastest 5 in pace had an average defensive ranking of 13. The slowest 5 in pace had an average defensive ranking of 17.

If you are into stats, a scatter plot shows complete randomness. A regression gives a slope with a p value of 0.4 (no correlation).

All eyes on Utah over this 4 game stretch.

7. Jazz (4-2, LW 13). They have the second best net rating in the league, a sign that this power ranking may have them too low — and that they can sustain the fast early start. Remember that this team picked up Derrick Favors in the Deron Williams trade — Favors has been fantastic for them this season, that move looks brilliant now.
