What Happened On Miami’s Game Winner
With 56 seconds left in game three, the Miami Heat were coming out of a timeout with the game tied. Instead of coming out of the timeout and playing “hero ball” the Heat decided to run a play, a play that got everyone involved, and resulted in an open shot for Chris Bosh, who knocked down the game winner.
The play starts with Dwyane Wade dribbling out the clock a bit at the top of the key as LeBron James gets a pindown screen set for him by Mario Chalmers.
The pindown screen set for James by Chalmers leads right into a James/Wade pick and roll. The Mavericks decide to trap this PNR with Jason Kidd going over the top of the screen and Shawn Marion leaving James to be the second defender. Not willing to leave LeBron James open at the top of the key, Tyson Chandler comes from the weakside to meet James as he rolled to the foul line after setting his screen for Wade.
