Boston has been killing it defensively for Stevens.

Boston has been killing it defensively for Stevens.

I am very surprised by that. I doubt they keep it up but who knows. There are 12 teams with the same or better defensive rating than the league best Spurs last season. I doubt all of those teams stay that good. The Spurs by the way have the exact same rating this season as they ended last season with, without Leonard.

Clippers went from the best to 10th best after last nights GS game though.

Final score: 109 - 100 Raptors

Toronto scorched the Jazz' defense for 109 points, which is exactly what they average. The primary difficulty was DeMar DeRozen, who was allowed to score a season high 37 on 10-20 shooting.

Final score: 137 - 112 Rockets

****. Harden decided to have his best game ever. It was against us, and our defense looked astonishingly mediocre. This single game sent our defensive rating up to 103.7, and knocked our *** from 3rd to 8th in the league. Astonishingly, the Rockets' 21 turnovers increased our OPP TOPG to 17.9.

Final score: 114 - 108 Jazz

Jazz defense has taken a back seat to the offense as Mitchell has exploded and Favors has had a resurgence. The offense (and an injury to Anthony Davis) won the game for the Jazz last night.
