If each team got one point for an opposing teams turnover, two points for a missed shot and three for a steal but nothing for putting the ball through the rim than fans would value defense more than offense.
In those circumstances every defensive stop whether it was a turnover, steal or missed shot would add to the team's point total.
So in effect the game would be reversed. Teams would attempt to score to keep their opponents from adding points. Teams would work harder to stop their opponents from scoring because they would earn points form stopping their opponent from scoring.
Fans would then take a lot more notice of defense.
