NBA playoffs: What a key play by Andre Iguodala tells us about Heat-Celtics

When I first saw the series of passes that led to this Goran Dragic dagger in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, two thoughts whipped through my brain:

No. 1: Why are the Boston Celtics trapping Jimmy Butler on this pick-and-roll with Bam Adebayo?

You play such a lineup to switch every two-man action that doesn't involve Walker.
