Message: [QUOTE="littlereg, post: 5397972, member: 6078"] This is the exact take I came here to make. They got Flagg in the post like they wanted but Maluach being on the court completely ruined the entire design. It gave Houston the thought that only one of two things could come from that. Maluach was going to be setting a screen somewhere and if he wasn’t he was gonna be clogging the paint. Once Flagg caught the ball in the post he wanted to make his move left but the combination of the baseline and Maluach’s defender being able to step up to the other side of the post caused Flagg to have to change his move and go right which thus allowed the primary defender on him to slide and beat him to his spot on the jumper. With all that taking longer, Maluachs defender was able to secondarily contest the shot from the side. I’d image Houston’s pressure and defense had Flagg fatigued at the end as well based off of how badly that shot ironed. [/QUOTE]
