But good defense also leads to fast breaks/ pace.

There is no correlation between pace and defensive ranking per possession. Look at last year, the fastest 5 in pace had an average defensive ranking of 13. The slowest 5 in pace had an average defensive ranking of 17.

If you are into stats, a scatter plot shows complete randomness. A regression gives a slope with a p value of 0.4 (no correlation).
