The Warriors went on a road trip after a miserable home stand to try and keep their playing hopes alive against a Miami Team without Jimmy Butler it was Klay Thompson who capitalized on open shots when the heat lived up to the reputation of overh helping on defense I

Want to break down his 28 point performance so let’s get to it in the first quarter we have a pin down by Draymond the free up step Miami is not switching off ball screens and since Rosier decided to cheat the screen this prevents Wiggins from making the

Pass on the curl to counter Steph stops in his tracks and Fades but Miami does a good job negating this the second curer saves it it was when Rosier lost his battle as he takes his eyes off of after being so aggressive Steph counters by back dooring great pass by Green to

Force the heat into rotations and as Patty Mills has no choice but to help as a weak side low man and hawkis Junior is now responsible for the two weak side dubs Clay is wide open under the hoop and it’s too much space for Hawkin junor

To cover as Steph makes a fancy no look pass into a layup Eric sposta loves playing Zone and has a known philosophy of helping on the ball handler but the Achilles heel to the zone are three-point Shooters initially we have a 131 and you can see on the

Baseline both clay and kaminga are looking to exploit it as Klay slips to the short corner you can see both Bryan and Martin point for someone to cover him with CP3 at the top you know he’s going to make the right decision but it was Looney who comes down from the wing

To set essentially a pin down on two Miami players allowing Thompson to curl on the right wing and and create space brilliant play here for a three again the zone is all about helping and preventing as much dribble penetration as possible with Paul at the top again both pensy and Looney

Simultaneously set screens but the point God himself chooses the right side since there is a heat defender on the left as Paul gets to the Elbow even the threat of his mid-range jumper forces kakis junr to stun and that was all Paul needed to see this help created just

Enough space for Klay Thompson and Paul hits him with a no look pass that forces hawkis Jr to jump on the first ball fake in order to recover giving clay a Reload triple timeout sposta at the end of the first half the Warriors are on the five on forward and

You can see Draymond Green Point for someone to go crosscourt as the camera pans to all the players you can see the strong side Martin’s trying to help on the potential Draymond drive and adio is in his natural position in the paint green wanted to forc Wiggins to cut to

Create a distraction but the entire time the goal was to create even more space in the corner for an open clay three ball great basketball IQ by Draymond Green this was bad communication by the heat clay pick and roll and for some reason maybe haakas junor did not want

The mismatch on Mills both Heat players double Wiggins now we got a three on two advantage on the weak side and look at high Smith glued to Steph Curry’s body bam comes all the way over to help in the paint off a non-shooter and Draymond so go and say counters by making the

First cross score pass to the weak side corner to Dre and then another long pass back up to Clay up top whose man in Patty Mill has to come all the way back from the help and recover he’s still pretty much there but Clay’s got 6 in on

Him and releases it with no problem m is old as hell so I can’t blame him getting burned on nothing fancy here but an out of bounds to Dre and as M turns his back on the ball and plays the deny position on Klay Thompson easy counter the back cut right to the

Rim no help from any of the other distracted Heat players and it’s an easy layup Eric sposa is a great coach but here’s another example of players overh helping wiggin has the on ball pick and we get a switch onto a mismatch in bam since Steph is a quick a guard and a

Lethal shooting threat bam has to pick his poison and it’s pretty high up on the perimeter on the strong side one pass away you can see high Smith guarding clay but it’s focused on Curry instead and even decides to overh help and stun knowing this clay counters by

Fading to the corner to create some distance and the splash Bros are on the same page here as Curry fires a perfectly timed pass for Klay to launch when his Defender was helping just a little too far away and it’s a dagger three-pointer there you guys have it a

Relatively quick breakdown on the first night of a back to- back these games pretty much are must-wins for the Golden State Warriors as they try to keep their hopes alive for at least a nine seed clay had the best game in the wild with 28 points on efficient shooting

Capitalizing off of Eric sposta and his aggressive philosophy of his Miami players overh helping on defense with back cuts and open jumpers Miami is known for its Zone and helping one pass away and the counter to this is to create additional space and time passes well in order to launch three-pointers

And expose the coverage now onto the second ey of a back-to-back in Orlando so it’s good for a relatively easier win to start off clay will have to keep his hot shooting alive for the dubs to even have a chance since the Rockets have been closing in hope you guys like this
