Message: [QUOTE="MilfordHusky, post: 3885476, member: 366"] I think there are 3 factors in play here: 1. Nika's foot/ankle problem from early in the season largely healed. 2. Nika is slightly less aggressive in terms of physical contact and going for steals. Hence, fewer fouls and fewer situations of leaning the wrong way. 3. I think that Nika has made a subtle adjustment in that she steps backwards just a little more than previously. Thus, she keeps the offensive player in front of her by gradually giving up just a little more territory. She has become a really solid defender. Coaching and effort work wonders. Throw in lots of toughness and you have one Badass defender! [/QUOTE]
