With less than 30 seconds to go in the fourth quarter of an important regular-season game, the Golden State Warriors — up by only a single point against the Dallas Mavericks — went to good ol’ Steph Curry ball-screen action to hopefully get him an efficient look.
But before we get to that, let’s rewind a bit to see how the play above was a culmination of how the Mavericks were burned by Curry in ball-screen action — particularly with Jonathan Kuminga as Curry’s screening partner.
Kuminga had himself another brilliant performance. He scored 22 points on 11 shots (7-of-8 on twos, 2-of-3 on threes) and a 92.
