I've been saying this for years - OKC doesn't foul more than other teams, they just play defense the way it's supposed to be played! Watch how they maintain legal guarding position, chest to the ball, hands up while retreating. When Wallace strips LaVine, he gets ball first - any contact after is incidental. Mitchell's steal on Caruso? Clean swipe down on the ball before body contact. This is textbook defense that every coach teaches but few teams execute this well. Lou Dort pushes limits with little holds and bumps, sure, but the core defensive principles are sound. Other teams should study this instead of complaining about the whistle. The Thunder put offenses in constant fear of turnovers with their length and rotations. It's not about getting away with fouls - it's about understanding what legal defense looks like and executing it better than anyone else.
