Explain One Play: Harrison Barnes Tries To Be Not "Terrible"

Thank goodness the Denver Nuggets-Golden State Warriors game was a not very close one.

For the last six games, we've felt obligated to break down a game sealing play.

Barnes says that last year he was "terrible" at this play, so it's interesting that the Warriors are still running it for him.
