Yaxel initiating the offense with Steph coming off the screen at the elbow. Pass back to Yaxel on the stampede cut with LaVine caught napping. Again, Yaxel initiating with Steph starting off the ball has yielded promising results.

Steph tells GP2, "Give me the ball!" Proceeds to take Jabari on a switch, gains separation with a Curry slide and drills the middy.

Big if Yaxel keeps giving defenders valid reasons to close out on him. Will only feed into his ability to attack closeouts and be aggressive at the rim.

This was a low-key pretty crucial possession in this game. When Steph has to switch onto Jokic on the ballscreen, peep at JK. He comes up, points to the corner -- signaling to Steph to switch off of Jokic and toward Braun in the corner -- in order to turn a nightmare matchup into a more palatable one. Result: JK gets the stop on Jokic.

When people say Draymond blows up schemes, watch this possession to understand. Reaves wants to put Post in action. Draymond tells Post to pre-switch with him so that Draymond is the one switching onto Reaves. Reaves then tries to put JK in the action. Draymond switches with JK. Result: Draymond contesting the final shot of the quarter.

Reggie does not know how to count steps lmao (gather step is when Giannis puts both hands on the ball, then it's an additional 2 steps allowed).

This is why Steph Curry as a screener is such a cheat code. I mean look at two defenders completely ignore Jimmy (with the ball!) and stick to Steph lmaoooo

Since Steve Kerr is Team USA coach, there's obviously some Warriors sets transferred over to the national team. One of which occurred during their scrimmage vs. the select team -- and triggered by someone yelling out "What the f***", a staple sideline out-of-bounds (SLOB) set.

Last night, Luka tried to hunt Steph several times by acting as a screener to force the switch. It's just not a sustainable form of offense. Steph and Draymond are seasoned anti-switch-hunting operators. It may work once, but it most likely won't work again. It only takes the possession after Luka scores on the Steph switch for Steph and Draymond to shut it down the following possession through scram switching and Steph hedging out. A subtle masterclass in on-the-fly adjustments.

So, did the Wolves adjust and do something new defensively to take Game 6? Yes and no (a quick thread). First, the old stuff: They simply went back to what worked in their wins and eliminated the kinks in execution. Doubling from the top vs. Jokić and rotating/bumping behind it, for example:

Luka Dončić is truly special. The Wolves tried everything, and I mean EVERYTHING: 1. Drop 2. Up to the level of the screen 3. Switching 4. Hedge and recover 5. Blitzing And it didn't matter. Luka had an answer for every one of them.

Draymond Green and Nikola Jokić have two of the highest basketball IQs in the NBA. The chess match between them can be easy to miss -- an example of which came on a sideline out-of-bounds set where they tried to one up each other:

Broke down the Luka dagger and the Mavs did some really subtle things that made it hard for the Wolves to: 1. Prevent the switch onto Rudy 2. Send a double to help Rudy Hard to detect in real time and it looks like the Wolves made a mistake in coverage (probably still did), but the Mavs deserve HUGE credit for what they did to get Luka this matchup and shot.

Nuggets have made a crucial adjustment to the Wolves' tactic of having KAT stay on Jokić whenever he rolls. Watch Christian Braun. He sets an initial screen ("ram" screen) on KAT to delay him from the ball-screen action. When Jokić sets the screen, KAT is forced to step up to cover Jamal coming off, which doesn't allow him to recover back toward Jokić. Jamal's able to hit Jokić in the short roll, which puts the Wolves defense in rotation. Braun with a huge three.

SVG is the first commentator I've heard correctly identify the Warriors' "eleven" zone (peep Kerr calling it) as a 2-3 zone. Most commentators have thought it to be a 1-3-1 but it's a 2-3 tandem (tbf, it can look like a 1-3-1 at times).
