I was very surprised by the ruling Muharram.

It is famous and well-known that our holy rabbi watches NBA games with great love and devotion.
But it is clear to anyone with common sense that in most NBA games, except for the very last stages of the season, and even then not always, they do not reach, in terms of what the viewer receives, the level of quality and dedication in team and individual defense that Euroleague games between top teams reach, and especially in the final stages of the season, which the Rabbi does not see (?).
In the NBA, too many games are played, and each game is too many minutes long, and too crowded, which makes the game more relaxed, and every basket you get is not treated as a disaster, just another day's work. In minus 8, if there are 15 seconds left, they won't even foul the other team because it's enough. It's all one game out of the best of 7 and tomorrow there's another game, everything is fine.
I've heard a lot of excuses that this isn't true and only in appearance, for a variety of reasons related to the way the defense and the game are played, and the truth is that the defense in the NBA is much stronger than in the Euroleague, but what can you do? All of these excuses don't hold water. The fact is that in the later stages of the playoffs or in close games, you really see a huge improvement in the defense's motivation (and not just in technique and sharpness). In general, there are teams whose defense consistently takes every basket as a disaster and a player who sees someone penetrating will never give up on jumping towards the layup (Miami and Denver, for example), compared to other teams that don't (Lakers).
I would like to know more about the following important issue.
