Is that the only factor? No...Beals injury hurts as well. In those first six, Wall ran with the twos and played more aggressively, which is why a lot of ppl are suggested mixing the lineups....wait, I may have "pretended" up those stats from my "pretend" box scores....
So where are the stats to back up your claim about the defensive stats being skewed by the pace of play? I won't hold my breath waiting on that lol.
FYI the Memphis and the Bulls are ranked 2 and 3 in defensive efficiency. it shoudln't come as a surprise that the worst offensive team in the league struggles to score against them.
