The Golden State Warriors showcased their elite defense against Boston, demonstrating energy, pressure, and discipline reminiscent of their 2022 championship season, ranking second in defensive rating.
Buddy Hield embodies the Warriors' transformation, potentially becoming one of the most improved defensive players, while the team's depth allows for fresh legs and sharp minds on the court.
Golden State's unusual strategy of utilizing non-starters heavily—over 18% of minutes played by lineups without any starters—displays their depth and willingness to adapt, leading to early season success.
While skepticism remains due to the small sample size and easing schedule, the Warriors’ commitment on defense suggests a significant potential for long-term impact this season.
