How To Come Out Of A Timeout Effectively
Part of what makes Kevin Durant’s stretch of 25 point games so incredible is that teams are keying on the guy and he is scoring. Some of it is just incredible talent (he has one of the smoothest strokes in the game), some of it is savvy and awareness (the way he gets to the line), and some of it is the playcalling. That is what we are going to talk about today.
In the fourth quarter of a really good game, the Thunder are coming out of a timeout under their own basket. Everyone in the building knows that the Thunder want to get the ball to Durant, and somehow they still get him an open lob-pass.
The play starts with the lane being real crowded. You have 3 guys in there already, and as a result there are 4 defenders in the paint. It looks like the Thunder are going to go away from the paint to a corner, away from the defenders.
