Real Quick: Memphis - Switching Men in Ball Screens


I'm gonna start a series of short, quick, posts with videos in which I'll show details of the games I'm watching these days.

Let's start with this defensive situations I saw in Game 1 of the Grizzlies - Clippers series.

As you can see, Marc Gasol and Cunningham switch men to defend the ball screen. That way Gasol doesn't need to follow the screener (who tries to set a quick screen with the advantage he gets over Marc on that run) and it's Cunningham who takes care of the ball screen defense, while Marc Gasol guards Griffin.
