This is how Atlanta beat Toronto: genius or serious defensive mistake?

Image
The Hawks ruined the first game as a starter for Juancho Hernángomez in the Canadian team One of those plays that will be remembered. There are 3.8 seconds left and the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors (122-122) tie. The Canadians level the game from the personal, and it seems that the victory will be decided in another extra time. Or not... Because either a serious mistake or a genius appeared in the State Farm Arena. Take out Atlanta in the background and Dejounte Murray receives against full-court pressure from Toronto. Find Trae Young who alone and without cover can start. And at the last second, he sends an "alley-oop" to AJ Griffin. He is totally alone and with a shot to the rolled-up sleeve he scores on the buzzer. They win the match. It seems like a serious mistake by Toronto, which, by applying pressure on all courts, leaves a rival player unguarded and their last defender hangs. A tactical failure that, to make matters worse, has another twist. The author of that m...

Klay Thompson triples his curse and that of the Warriors

Image
The '11' of the San Francisco franchise scored 41 points with 10 triples in the win in Houston At last. After eight losses outside the San Francisco Bay Area, the Golden State Warriors won on the road. Not without complications, as the weak Houston Rockets competed until the end (120-127). But they knocked down the curses that persecuted them in their style: riddling from the perimeter. With a Klay Thompson that reminded him of his best stages after billing an impressive 10/13 from the triple for 41 total points. Damn, because Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors are elements that feed off each other. The '11' represents the other great player from Bahía who, together with Curry, bullied the NBA. But also on the opposite side. His physical and defensive decline means that the Bahía team falls, and that the solutions from the bench do not respond. Only Jordan Poole and not consistently. Therefore, reasonable doubts that Thompson was knocked down in Houston appeare...

Image
 The Denver Nuggets took the court from the Dallas Mavericks 97-98 with 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists from the Slovenian Surrealism stopped Luka Doncic. It almost seems like the only way to stop the strongest MVP candidate in the NBA, who is the clear and prominent leader of the Dallas Mavericks. A team that struggles to take the next step, but that also loses games against direct rivals. Like the one against the Denver Nuggets (97-98), in which the Slovenian did not shine, but was able to win it. Doncic ran into several surreal situations. The first occurred before the break. With the Mavs leading 56-52, Doncic hit a career-high triple at the buzzer. He sent the game to the intermission with seven up for the Texans. The teams retreated to locker rooms and the basket was reviewed, as is the case with all those limit plays. Surprise: Doncic stepped over the line. It wasn't worth it. And since there was time to play, surrealism arrived. After the restart, the clock was delayed...

The reigning UFC middleweight champion was putting togeth...
