A year ago, the Blazers were one of the top offensive teams in the league but a so-so team at the defensive end. Coach Terry Stotts’ primary mission was improved defensive play this season. There’s no question that has happened. The Blazers entered the week ranked among the NBA’s top fi ve in opponents’ scoring, fi eld-goal percentage and 3-point percentage. In 2013-14, Blazer opponents averaged 102.8 points, shot .451 from the fi eld and .355 from 3-point range. Going into the Milwaukee game, Portland foes this season were averaging 95.6 points, shooting .431 from the fi eld and .288 from beyond the arc. “We’re mostly heading in the right direction,” Stotts says. “The preseason priorities — being a better defensive team — have come about. But it’s easy to have slippage. You can’t look at what you’ve done in the past. You have to continue to do it.” COURTESY OF DAVID BLAIR Defense is very much a mind- Improved defense, like with Blazers backup guard Allen Crabbe contesting a shot Monday by San Antonio’s Kyle Anderson, has been a key to Portland’s fast start to the 2 014 -15 NBA season. set.
