Last night the Cavaliers were taken to the limit against the Golden Bears of Cal.
Tony Bennett designed three consecutive timeout plays each of which yielded a basket. This is the first of those timeout plays.
Run from the SLOB situation, the play is set-up by the elbow screen action which gave Brogdon a chance to either "read" and cut to the basket or come back off the "re-screen" action for a possible jumper.
Tony Bennett is known for his defensive strategies, but last night these timeout actions he ran with his Cavs only showed what a true mastermind of the game he is.
