    Houston is one of the few good defensive teams who are also "fast paced" on D (i.e., spend fewer seconds per possession than other teams). It makes sense for the Rockets-- which gambles for steals and try to force turnovers. Kind of weird that Portland is also "fast paced on D while not forcing many turnovers at all.

    It's weird that on the seconds per possession on defense the first and last place team are only separated by 1 second.
