Does defense win championships? Can we look to the NBA Finals to find out?
Not exactly. Yes, the Denver Nuggets emerged victorious. They didn’t have an elite defense. This team won with one of the best offensive attacks in the NBA.
Sure. On the other hand, their Finals counterparts were a defensive-minded squad. In fact, the Heat had one of the worst offensives in the NBA throughout the regular season.
Of course, they had to take a leap on that end in the playoffs. Still, the point stands.
