The Heat’s Two Game Winning Possessions
Coming out of a timeout with 5:41 left in the fourth quarter, the Miami Heat trailed the Golden State Warriors by one point. After two very nice possessions (and an empty possession from Golden State), they were winning by 4 points and they didn’t give that lead up for the rest of the game. Both of these plays featured Dwyane Wade as the primary ball handler, which is a pretty interesting strategy. Here is the first:
Now, it might look like a simple ISO play, but I really like it. The Heat show a screen on one side with Udonis Haslem, take it away, and bring a screen on the opposite side with Jermaine O’Neal. It might not look like much, but look at how the Warriors are set up to defend both screens.
