What about defense? Looking for highlights, most are offense, yet there are defensive concepts to review.
Defending off-ball screens is tough with the quality of modern offensive players.
You see it; D White saw it, but lock and trail is tough with the caliber of shooters like Max Strus.
Being in position and alert matters, too. Donovan Mitchell steals a poor Porzingis pass.
Ball-you-basket. Everybody learns that in Basketball 101. But with the shake and bake, sometimes you get cooked.
Passes to the top get stolen at every level. And our frenemy, the live-ball turnover turns into easy shots.
Help off the perimeter or stay? There's no easy answer.
Real-time defenses are unsure. The Cavs align in horns and it appears that they'll backscreen a cutter. But instead, there's a slip and the Celtics get burned. Great offense.
Lagniappe. Less.
