The Play Before The Play
Last night’s Lakers-Grizzlies game was awesome. You had Kobe’s quick three, two missed foul shots from Mike Conley, then a missed game winning three from Ron Artest. With all of that action going on, it is easy to forget that the most important play was the one that happened right before the others I have mentioned. That play is the Rudy Gay 3 that took the Grizzlies lead from 2 to 5:
Up by two, the Grizzlies are in no rush here. They walk the ball up and kill 10 seconds before they even start their offense. Mark Gasol cuts through, and right after the cut, Zach Randolph comes sets a screen for Conley.
