The playoffs finished, the NBA offers its various compilations of the “postseason”. And after the best actions of all kinds, here are the most beautiful defensive sequences…
There’s the block followed by Russell Westbrook’s save against Devin Booker, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s interception against Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo’s two-handed block on Jamal Murray and the big defensive streak of Anthony Davis versus Stephen Curry. Perhaps the turning point in the Western Conference semifinals.
Because in the playoffs, the defense comes back to life and regains its central role in the NBA.
