the future is now

A list of all Explain One Play articles and videos is at The new Explain One Play index.

In the 2022.02.03.SAC-GSW game, the pesky Kings got close in the fourth quarter, but the Warriors pulled away with liberal use of the Stephen Curry - Jonathan Kuminga pick and roll. I have the feeling we’ll be seeing more of this in the future. We’ll look at how it worked, how the Kings tried to change up their defense, and then linger over the gorgeous cradle reverse dunk by JK.

Co-starring Juan Toscano-Anderson, playing a pivotal role as screener and passer; Damion Lee as a connector guy; and Klay Thompson in space. With Davion Mitchell, Damion Lee, Buddy Hield, and Chimezie Metu as valiant defenders.
