surprise perimeter screens and swing passes punish overeager defenders

? Memphis, turnovers and the basketball gods
The Grizzlies, suffering a severe case of Lakers paranoia, unexpectedly tanked their final two games instead of gunning for the sixth seed Carrera Sunglasses. They’ll face the top-seeded Spurs instead, and that will provide a fascinating test for the Grizzlies’ unique style. Memphis defense put up one of the highest turnover rates in recent history.

All of those backdoor cuts, surprise perimeter screens and swing passes punish overeager defenders.
