The Charlotte Hornets have massively outperformed most people’s expectations so far this season. Their wins have been based on their surprising offensive productivity. Breaking records for three-pointers made will certainly give you a good chance to win your games. That kind of night is fun but unsustainable.
Offense comes and goes for every single player in the league, even James Harden, who had led the NBA with 37 points per game last year. Something that you can always count on every night is your defense.
There is a saying that “defense travels,” and this can not be any truer.
