Since Steve Kerr is Team USA coach, there's obviously some Warriors sets transferred over to the national team. One of which occurred during their scrimmage vs. the select team -- and triggered by someone yelling out "What the f***", a staple sideline out-of-bounds (SLOB) set.

Something interesting before Steph Curry's clutch floater. CP3 was calling over Draymond and had him be the inbounder. Why? Probably because with CP as the release valve instead of Draymond, the Kings couldn't double off of him (and to force the switch onto Monk). Result:

Kyrie telling DJJ to clear to the opposite corner to improve the spacing. Luka sees Ant just hovering around for no reason which means Conley is on an island vs. 2 guys. Immediately whips the pass to Kyrie, extra swing to PJ for the three. Ant caught sleeping.

So, did the Wolves adjust and do something new defensively to take Game 6? Yes and no (a quick thread). First, the old stuff: They simply went back to what worked in their wins and eliminated the kinks in execution. Doubling from the top vs. Jokić and rotating/bumping behind
