Game 3 of my video analysis series of the @NoDunksInc top 10 NBA games. Today is the last of the 'Honourable mention' games mentioned by @jeskeets & @treykerby: Dec 22nd @Raptors vs @dallasmavs. Starting off with this Raps play for a quick Iso for @IAmCHAP24.

One of the most interesting tactical elements was the Raptors using of a FC zone press in the 4Q (which they started 23 points down to begin). They mostly used a 1-2-1-1 formation looking to put 2 on the ball in the backcourt to speed the Mavs up and pressure them into TOs.

They even pressed after made field goals (like in this clip). Overall it was very effective. 14 possessions of the press conceding only 10pts and 3 fouls drawn. Additionally they generated 10pts from live ball turnovers and 3 stops.

Speaking of D, a shout out to Aussie @RBroekhoff45's effort this game on that end. 1st clip: text book closeout (inside hand up, feet outside of feet, pulsing feet, force long 2 off bounce, 2nd off ground contest), 2nd Clip: charge drawn 3rd clip: block out. @PickandRollAU

Next clip - this clever wrinkle out of 'Mash' action from the @dallasmavs to free up @kporzee for a 3pt behind a flare screen. FYI - see this thread for explanation of what a 'Mash' is: https://twitter.com/coachliamflynn/status/1248716678956863489?s=20
