PHOENIX — Last year at this time, the Warriors were 12-2, boasting the best defense in the NBA while also leading the league in scoring.
But everything has changed..
While scoring hasn’t been an issue for Stephen Curry, who’s dropped 40-plus points in three of his last five games, the team as a whole has been inconsistent and out of sync on offense, which is impacting the Warriors’ play on the other end. The defense can’t get stops and is allowing 118.3 points per game, a 16.7-point increase from last November.
