Wouldn’t have mattered. Tried it for a possession and embarrassed themselves. Wide open 3...Joey on his ass.

Because they haven't played it all year since defense wasn't a problem.

But doing no adjustments totally did them justice.

The problem with the defense was how they extended it so far out. They should have made Morant beat them by shooting. Instead he got going downhill too often. This isn't what they did all year.
