Offensive Only Champions (alien.top)

This is about the Suns and mostly an eyeball test meaning I didn't look anything up.

Would this year's Suns be the first "offensive juggernaut" team to win a championship if they do?

I don't have the actual stats but I think the past champions each had at least a top 10 defense.

Who else was a contender with "no defense" ?

The nuggets weren't a top 10 defense last season according to defensive rating. The last time before that was 2018 Warriors (ranked #11) and before that you have to go all the way back to 2001 Lakers who were ranked unusually low at #21. Even more odd than that, the 2000 Lakers were ranked #1.

They were not a top 10 Defense in the regular season but in the playoffs it seemed that way.
