NBA Finals 2014: How The Spurs Defended LeBron James’ 3rd Quarter Frenzy

LeBron’s final victim of the quarter is: Diaw. One more time.

And just like he did in his previous occasions in this quarter against Diaw, LeBron uses his quickness as the main tool to find open space. LeBron is nearly in a full sprint bringing the ball across the court. Diaw picks-up LeBron and backpedals as his life is depending on it. In the process, LeBron stops on a dime and finds himself going against a defender that is essentially on ice skates slipping backwards.

LeBron rises and hits another open jumper, his final basket of the quarter. Diaw tries to recover, but he doesn’t have the speed nor the length to challenge LeBron’s shot.
