This is really good to hear. Does seem like they're improving defensive efficiency as the season rolls along. This gives me faith that the Spurs, if healthy, will compete for a le this year.
From SI.com power rankings:
The Spurs' fast-paced, high-powered attack is becoming increasingly well-known, but their defense isn't too shabby either -- they're seventh in defensive efficiency and are allowing their fewest points per 100 possessions since 2007-08. Although merely average in opposing field-goal percentage, the Spurs rank second in steals while committing the fewest fouls, a testament to the intelligence (and lobbying abilities?) of Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili on traps and rotations. Freed from the need to score as often this season, Duncan is setting the tone for a defense that permits 9.4 fewer points per 100 possessions when he plays compared to when he sits, according to 82games.com.
