A key gameplan tweak that contributed to the Wolves big start to Game 3 was Anthony Edwards' gap help presence when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had the ball. Ant brought the gap help on SGA that he is used to seeing himself.

When he’s engaged on defense, he can actually be pretty amazing on that end.

TODO SEA POR VERLO EN MONTERREY 🫡 A pesar de su rivalidad en la cancha, reportes indican que @TigresOficial habría ayudado a @Rayados a conseguir el fichaje de Sergio Ramos. Te contamos acá. 👇 #LigaMX #Tigres #Rayados #SergioRamos

If they do that for the next 3 games they will win the series 4-2. PLAY DEFENSE ON SHAI LIKE THEY PLAY DEFENSE ON ANT. Ant and shai playmaking is either the same or ant is better at it. MAKE THAT BOY BEAT YOU AS A PASSER

It wasnt just ant, everyone else was in the gaps as well.

Ant is such a good defender when he’s locked in

That closeout hop was wild. Damn near teleported

On the broadcast they were pointing out that the wolves were picking SGA up later & going under more screens, while they were being much more aggressive with their pickup point on everyone else. Was wondering if you saw something similar?

Thai should have been the approach from the beginning.. This is what OKC struggles with the most And it’s what Ant has been dealing with on offense .. Show Shai bodies early !!

💯

At times where they had Nickeil and Jaden in the game together they had Ant in one gap and Jaden/Nickeil in the other. Rotate and make the others beat you.

Three most important elements to winning yesterday were not as strategic as you think 1. home game with lots of fan generated energy, 2. 3 ball falls 3. Ant gets off to an aggressive start.
