I thought about this a lot during the Cavs rampages through the finals. Even when their defense got reallllly bad (-3.3 rDrtg in 2018), they seemed to never get teams best offensive performances in the playoffs. How does a bad defense hold the Raptors 9.3 pp100 under their season average? My only thinking was that the Cavs' 3-point hurricane machine just demoralized the Raps from playing their best.
