Their defense has been doing very well on this side of the floor a bit as they are allowing 64.5 points per game up to this point. However, they are not forcing mistakes enough as they are averaging just 2.5 blocks and seven steals per game right now. If they can figure out how to get some more stops, they can get another winning streak going.
