The defense didn't suck, but it could be even more dominant.

If you compare apples to apples and use points allowed per 100 possessions, then we allowed 103. SAS was at 102. Houston 101. And Boston was by far the leader at 99. Defense won the ship again.

In the playoffs, Cleveland allowed 101, which was much better than their regular season stat. Lebron was out a lot and Ben came aboard late. However, it looked like his addition helped in that area.
