Dallas Mavericks forward PJ Washington feels confident about the team’s defense going forward.

(via Dallas Mavericks):

“We didn’t win last year, it’s not like we won the (2024) Finals. And at the end of the day, everybody who’s always played basketball knows you have to play defense to win. So at the end of the day, I feel like we can be one of the best defensive teams next year. We have some of the best shot blockers in the game right now and it makes my job easier, all the guards’ job easier, just sending him to guys like that (points to Dereck Lively II). The sky’s the limit for us, it’s just about building chemistry and being together.”
