This Is Minnesota’s DEADLIEST Play…



This Is Minnesota’s DEADLIEST Play…

Welcome to another hows and growls breakdown and today we’re taking a quick look at a play call that generated five straight crucial points in Minnesota’s win over the Golden State Warriors you see those two plays rolling through here in full speed and on a night where Minnesota finished with a four-point win

And really had to fight all the way to the end these two possessions mattered and for a team who has often struggled to generate SM smooth fourth quarter offense this is a really smart play call that can generate a few really good scoring options so let’s take a closer

Look we start on this one with the staggered wide pin Downs here with Edwards curling off them as soon as he catches he’s going to flip it back to Morris and goar is going to Pivot his ball screen now the important piece here is Nar Reed over here in the corner he’s

Making a Danny Green cut from Baseline to Baseline and he’s got McDaniel setting an exit screen for him to be a legitimate Corner shooting option what he’s really doing is clearing the low man help though so clay has to tag go on the roll because there’s no low man over

Here anymore where Reed was now Anthony Edwards who was Clay’s man is wide open when they skip it to him and it’s a simple catch and shoot Rhythm jumper so really the two keys here to what I’m calling the green flip action are dragging the low man away with the

Threat of Nar Reed out of the corner and therefore forcing the defense to make a decision on either tagging goar’s role or staying connected to Edwards on the perimeter on the next possession down the floor Minnesota punishes Golden State for trying to correct that previous mistake they don’t start this

One with the pin downs but they still get into the little flip action to trigger The Possession again it’s Reed with the green cut and it’s still really important that McDaniels actually sets this screen to make Reed a real option same thing here there’s no weak side

Help and this time Payton is pressed up on Edwards to take away that same catch and shoot look so now go can slip in behind the defense and catch the lob without any helpers there to interrupt the pass in the grand scheme of the game there were probably more important

Possessions from both both teams on both ends of the floor but generating five straight points from this sick green flip action really caught my eye and made a difference to Minnesota’s late game offense thanks again for watching this mini how and GRS breakdown Please Subscribe for more

Draymond Green never, Green Flip action forever…

  1. I really wish the wolves would run more late-game action like this rather than Ant isos. Sure he can hit tough shots but having all five players involved as threats will do wonders for our woeful clutch offense.

  2. Remembered both of these, excellent video analysis. Jake! It’s great to see all the other comments on your post, congratulations!!

  3. I’m just thankful an elite basketball mind can break down some of these portions of Wolves basketball. Pretty cool man. Hope your channel keeps growing.

  4. The baseline cut and pick are crucial, but I think in general our team is really well positioned for more DHOs (which this also includes). Especially with our big-men involved because they're so big.

    I love this play though, no matter what, you get Edwards on the weak side with an entire half of the court to himself to operate if the ball finds him.

    What should be happening though, for Golden State, is Curry needs to switch to Reid, and Draymond to not contest the screen. This has a potential of opening up an entry pass to McDaniels, but if I'm GS, I'm willing to risk a baseline post-up from McDaniels with Green on defense.
