Via JLS125 in the comments, here's a li'l frame-by-frame breakdown of the small plays that led up to Wilson Chandler's game-winning block last night. Sebastian Pruiti does superb work at NBA Playbook, and expertly identifies the chain of events that culminated in Wil's rejection. Worth a look.

That was awesome

but it should also be said that Chandler left Joe Johnson alone on the perimeter to make his block. That was a risky move.

Also, since Crawford picked up his dribble and was guarded by Harrington, Lee should have kept better tabs on Smith. It was kind of a poor play on his part to let Smith go backdoor there, and he got bailed out by Chandler.

But these things happen so quick, so it’s hard to criticize. Had Lee blocked out Smith, I bet Crawford would have either shot it or kicked it out to Smith on the perimeter.

thanks for the shout out...

i wish this was how we played defense possession. wouldn’t it be nice if we could play solid defensive schemes each possession for 82 games? We could break these down after every game…

I think it helps having Toney out there

With Gallo and Chandler that gives them three players that have good defensive instincts. After Toney got the ball slapped out, he didn’t waste one millisecond complaining to the ref or hanging his head – he quickly put himself into position to hound Crawford up the court.

And Chandler left his man on the perimeter when he saw Crawford had a step on Douglas and Harrington was stepping out on Crawford. At that point, with the time on the clock and in a one point game, it’s not too likely that someone will kick it out to Johnson, his man. The more I think about it – just a heady play on Chandler’s part to be in position.
