Wizard's defense

[tontoz]

Watching the Wizards flying around on defense contesting everything inside i got curious about their points in the paint defense. I was suprised to find that they 2nd in the league in fewest pts in the paint allowed.

Last year they were 16th. That is a huge improvement. They are currently 10th in defensive efficiency and that should improve with guys getting healthy. Last year they were 23rd.

Have to give Okafor some props here. I hated the trade to bring him here and he looked like Shard 2.0 in november but he has been bringing it on D and on the glass.

Unrelenting and swarming, no let-up even during a blow-out
