The Wizards’ buzzer beater against the Hornets wasn’t the only game winning shot of the night.  In the other gym, Pooh Jeter and the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to get a game winner of their own.  Unlike the Wizards’ winner, the Cavs were able to get their best shooter a wide open look for a game-winning three:

When the ball gets tossed to the trigger man, Pooh Jeter comes down and set a brush screen for Marquis Gilstrap.  Gilstrap come out can receives the basketball from the inbounder Aaron Jackson.  After the quick screen, Jeter floats out towards the corner.

Gilstrap receives the pass and quickly hands it back to Jackson.  This handoff bascially become a screen, as Jackson comes off of Gilstrap after getting the basketball.

This forces the Bulls’ defenders to switch (because as we know, defenses like to switch every screen late) and this results in a big man covering a guard.

Jackson uses his speed advantage to get around his new defender with ease.  Jackson does the smart thing here by attacking the basket, he doesn’t hang around the perimeter or settle for the mid range jumper.  He dribbles right at the help defender, forcing him to make a choice, either stay with his man (Pooh Jeter) or stop the basketball.

The help defender chooses to help on the penetration, allowing Pooh Jeter to spot up wide open behind the three point line in the corner.

Jackson does a great job of finding Jeter wide open and he is able to rise up and attempt the jumper before the defense can close out on him.  Here is the play in real time:
