On Monday night, the San Antonio Spurs showed again why they’re ranked first in defensive efficiency, holding the Atlanta Hawks to 94.1 points per 100 possessions.
However, San Antonio was not on the same page defensively to start the game, as they allowed a couple of easy looks for the Hawks to get ahead 8-2.
In this play, Patty Mills goes over the screen and relies on David Lee to hedge and stop the ball handler from penetrating to the basket. Instead, Hawks guard Dennis Schroder fakes the pass to the roll man, catching Lee with a gorgeous ‘yo-yo’ dribble followed by the easy layup.
