Davis said after the Toronto loss: “I think our defense is there”. “Offense kind of struggled tonight, but i’m not too worried about offense. We’ll find a way to make shots. As long as our defense is there, we’ll be fine.”

3. LA Clippers

Record: 1-1 | 45-21 (.682)

Last ranking: 3

The Clippers lost last time to the Lakers. The quirky thing is that they didn’t have Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell. Chemistry is still a work in progress, but the Clippers are on level at No. 2. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are looking stout.

The Bucks are the first team in NBA history to lose a game in which they:
– Scored 110 pts (116)
– Held opp under 40% shooting (39.6%)
– Had a +25 rebound diff (+29).
