The play featured Klay Thompson and Steph Curry, the team's two best shooters coming around screens on opposite sides of the floor. David Lee alluded to this in his post game interview with Sun Sports. He also talked about the fact that if the Heat over helped (which they had been doing all night) the big man were to slip the screen.
That's exactly what happened on the near side of the court. Shane Battier helped so as not to let Klay Thompson get the ball for a catch and shoot jumper. This left Green free to dive to the rim. Normally in this situation a defender on the weakside will rotate over, but the two weakside defenders are defending the other curl and can't help.
When Jack found Green for the easy layup I may or may not have let out a primal scream.
You're so fast! What a fantastic win. Wooooo!
