They've shown remarkable efficiency from both inside and beyond the arc, shooting an average of 49 percent from the field and maintaining a three-point percentage in the upper thirties. Their free-throw accuracy hovers around an exceptional 78 percent.


Defensively, they've been just as formidable. The team's defensive rating suggests that they're capable of stifling opponents' scoring opportunities effectively. With an average defensive points per possession around 1.08 to 1.12, they've managed to keep teams like Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns below their scoring averages.
