Yuta Watanabe closed out 2022 with arguably the best defensive performance of his career.
The Japanese forward had 11 points, five rebounds and a career-high five steals off the bench Saturday. It was the most steals in a game for any Net this season, and the first five-steal game for them off the bench since Caris LeVert on Feb. 8, 2019 versus Chicago.

But Saturday his aggressive drives bode well, because defenses are now recognizing his deep shooting prowess.
