  • In a league defined by offense, it was the defense that prevailed in the NBA Cup semi-final games in Las Vegas.

The article from MSN Sports discusses the evolving strategy in the NBA, particularly highlighted during the NBA Cup, where defense has taken center stage over offense. Traditionally known for high-scoring games, the NBA has seen a shift where teams are now focusing more on defensive strategies to secure wins. This change is attributed to several factors including the implementation of new rules that encourage more physical play, the rise of versatile defenders who can guard multiple positions, and a tactical shift by coaches to prioritize defensive schemes. The article points out that teams like the Boston Celtics and the Denver Nuggets have excelled by not only having offensive firepower but by also having robust defensive systems. This defensive renaissance is seen as a response to the previous years' trend of three-point shooting and offensive showcases, suggesting that in the current NBA landscape, defense might indeed be the new offense.
