They can't stop anyone. They are 4th to last in DRtg in the clutch.
They can't score. They are 3rd to last in ORtg in the clutch.
Overall, a pleasant 3rd to last in NetRtg at -26.3
Denver is in 1st with a +24.3
We have the highest TO rate in the league in the clutch, and to combat that, we are also in last in creating turnovers on defense.

We are also dead last, by a wide margin in FT% in the clutch at 59%, and we are in the top 10 in FTA's in the clutch. 2nd to last place is shooting 68%
we are 22% from 3 in the clutch, good for 4th to last.

This is the biggest indictment on a coaching staff that I have seen. When the game slows down at the end of close games, coaching and strategy becomes much more important. Players and teams need to have a clear vision, with a clear hierarchy, and clear options. We have none of this in clutch moments. They don't know if Zion should have the ball, they don't know if BI should have the ball, they don't know if CJ should have the ball and all 3 want the ball. The turnovers are making the defense crater. This coaching staff has to do a much better job moving forward and establish a clutch time identity (outside of BI taking contested mid range jump shots). We can look at the end of each quarter last night as an example of we have nothing to go to when we need it.
