This Is How The POINT GOD Exploits The Defense

The Brooklyn Nets blitzed the Hornets with the perfect execution of this quick and simple play.
Claxton screens for Seth Curry up top, who then takes just 1 dribble and passes it back to Kyrie.
You see that as the pass goes over to that side, KD is also setting a pick to force the switch from Bridges. And since that happens, at this moment we got both KD and Claxton rolling to the rim.
So Kyrie finds Durant with the short pass, he lobs it to the big man who finishes with a dunk.
New week ahead of us and a new pack of NBA slick plays. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it.
The Pistons also handled their business on this possession with a 2 man game between Cunnigham and Bagley.
On the strong side we have a screen for Saddiq Bey to get the hand off, and as he curls with the ball, on the other end we have Bagley screening for Cade. So as he gets the pass, you see that he’s open, forcing Randle to come out, and with that you know what follows, the lob and the jam.
I love the court vision by Marcus Smart as he orchestrated this bucket on the fast break by telling both guys where to go.
As soon as he secures the ball, Smart surveys the entire floor, and first signals to White to push forward, and then right here he turns to Theis and tells him as well to dive inside.
Marcus then flings a one hander to the corner and White immediately lobs it to the big man for the beautiful finish all in one motion.
The 2 screens opening up the middle lane for CP3, we don’t see this often so I had to feature it.
At first sight this should be 2 typical backscreens for Chris Paul to curl along the 3 point line, but at the last moment, Ayton flips the angle, and gives his point guard a driving lane, straight to Embiid. So once he switches that, Deandre rolls inside, and the point god delivers the bullet pass for the finish underneath.
The Timberwolves force all kinds of switches here from the Celtics eventually ending up with an open shot for Anthony Edwards who knocks it down.
It all happens quickly. Russell hands it off to Beverley who takes off along the perimeter, forcing the switch, and as he leaves it for KAT, he continues all the way to the corner to eventually screen for Edwards. He goes to the wing, KAT leaves it for him, the shot and the swish.
Moving on with some equally as interesting but a bit simpler plays.
I never thought I would say this but yesterday, Davis Bertans ROCKED the rim with this tomahawk jam!
Trey Burke signals and goes to set the second screen for Bertans, as we stop it right here we see Hernangomez trailing and the right side of the paint open, that’s because Bertans is known for his shot, but he uses this one and surprises everyone with the dunk.
Jalen Brunson runs the point, knows that Reggie is behind him, notices there is only one Jazz defender at the top so he drops the pass, screens and Bullock knocks down the 3.
Malik Monk flashes all of his athletic abilities on this play as he swings the bullet pass to Westbrook for the corner 3.
With Steph Curry out Green found the other splash brother with this typical Draymond maneuver, as he exploits the lone man on the perimeter serving Klay with 3 points.
Similarly, Randle signals to Fournier where the pass should go, makes an off ball screen and sets the open 3 for Quickley.
And last but not least, we gotta give props to Jayson Tatum for seeing the extra pass in the corner only because I think this is a part of his evolution as he would've finished this one himself earlier in his career.
