The Breakdown - February 2nd

Grizzlies Set vs Switching, Raptors Keep, Monk's Communication & Timberwolves Specials.

A new breakdown format where we look at some of the best X’s & O’s from the previous night’s games. I typically study 2-3 games live per night and watch the others on replay/possessions, but if you see something interesting when watching and want it included - let me know! Let’s dive in.

Draymond’s Home Run

A clear example here of Draymond’s IQ and recognizing the advantage the Warriors have with him on the floor. Wiggins contests a 3 here from Prince and Draymond gets inside position, when Wiggins contests this he is on the basket side in transition.

Draymond recognizes this so as soon as he grabs the board he throws a home run pass to Wiggins in transition who draws the foul.

Monk Communicates To Keegan

Late in the game against the Spurs the Kings were looking to seal the game with a basket. They run their typical Fox/Sabonis ballscreen action and the Spurs were putting two on the ball by trapping Fox. Monk recognizes this and communicates to Keegan he wants him to come in and set a flare screen since his man is the low help.

As Sabonis rolls, Murray sets the screen low on Monk’s man which allows him to drift to the corner and hit the corner 3.
