The Sixth Man: Denver has held 5 of 7 opponents under 100 this season, have they found their defensive identity?

Denver’s 4-3 start is not as impressive as some would like because obviously, they should win every single game so we fans can avoid mild stints of depression, but there have been very impressive aspects to their play so far. I like to think I’m humble enough to admit when I’m wrong and I will do so here. Before the season began, I thought the Denver defense would be miserable to watch, but so far they have been top five in the league. They held five of their first six opponents to under 100 points which is incredible in the modern NBA.
