It was a cheeky move by Steven Adams that provided the game-turning play.
To free up just the right amount of space in the lane for Russell Westbrook, Adams did the best thing for the team to not set a screen for his point guard. Instead of running all the way up to the top of the key to put a body on Westbrook’s defender, Adams stopped short and muscled up his own defender, Anthony Davis. That left Westbrook’s defender, Jrue Holiday, flatfooted when Westbrook exploded into the paint, rose up and slammed home a dunk through a foul by DeMarcus Cousins.
