One Missed Assignment Turned a 4-on-5 Into a Wide-Open Mitchell Three
Basketball
One missed assignment and Detroit's four-on-five advantage evaporated completely.
Thompson picks up his man instead of the ball, Cade wanders into the lane chasing a rotation that was already covered, and suddenly Donovan Mitchell is standing wide open on the perimeter. Coach Nick breaks down exactly how one blown communication rep turned a defensive advantage into a wide-open look for the one guy you simply cannot leave unguarded.
The rotation wasn't wrong everywhere. Harris rotated properly, Duren held the weak side block, Robinson sprinted to the corner. But Cunningham running to an already-covered spot left the extra pass completely unaccounted for. That's the kind of detail that separates good defensive teams from great ones. #shorts
