With their recent three-game win streak, the Golden State Warriors have held their opponents to under 100 points in each game, a feat they have not achieved since their championship season in 2021-22. While their improved defense can be attributed to better communication and defensive positioning, it's important to note that the Warriors have also faced a weak pocket in their schedule and benefited from shooting luck. The absence of key players on opposing teams, including the Miami Heat's top scorers, also played a significant role in Golden State's recent success on defense. Only time will tell if the Warriors' improved defense is sustainable.
