The AP reports: San Antonio, which won titles in 1999 and 2003, allowed the fewest points per game (88.4) in the league during the regular season, and Detroit was a close second at 89.5 ppg. Both squads were in the top five in blocked shots, opposing field goal percentage and fewest assists allowed. Detroit's Ben Wallace was the league's defensive player of the year, and San Antonio's Bruce Bowen was runner-up. Together the Pistons and Spurs accounted for five of the 11 players selected to the All-Defensive first and second teams. So it's not a surprise the Spurs expect defensive execution to decide the best-of-seven series, which begins Thursday night in San Antonio.
