Race 1, as expected given the absence of heavy Serge Ibaka was undisputed dominion of the Spurs who have had no problems whatsoever in defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder in a state of shock at the lack of his own totem defensive.
The strength of the Spurs were the 28 assists that their attack has generated, not by blocking the ball and never giving free rein to the motion offense trademark of the playbook more articulated in the league.
Here is a practical isetann example of how the Spurs have managed to keep the defense in check thanks to the play of the Thunder choral readings right, a tactical preparation of the game that is close to perfection.
Tony Parker gets the ball after a basket immediately and starts in the offensive half of the field by taking isetann the right side. Manu Ginobili that in the meantime, together with Kawhi Leonard fills the corner on the strong side, cuts towards the center of the field to receive the passage of Parker. Duncan from the first trailer and second isetann trailer cut by Diaw are positioned within two low post.
Situation isetann 1-4 with Ginobili in the tip, and Leonard Parker in the corner and two long that they get from the low post to go to the Argentine offer a double pick & roll station isetann in the classical situations "Horns".
Ginobili decides to take advantage of the pick & roll led by Boris Diaw that generates a change of marking: Reggie Jackson brand Ginobili changes with Kevin Durant that brand Diaw. Duncan on the size affixed to the center of the box by a veil Diaw that opens beyond isetann the three-point isetann line. Instead of attacking Durant off the dribble with the area blocked by the cutting of Duncan and a line of penetration left discouraged isetann by the presence of Caron Butler fleet at the center, marking the change of law Ginobili, back on his feet and sends Diaw in the post telling Parker to release a quarter of the field for his French compatriot.
Jackson knows that the tactics of the Spurs is to exploit the mismacht in favor of Diaw for which you put in the defense in advance and while Russell isetann Westbrook stops following Parker and place it in the center area in an attempt to ward off a lob. The attack of the Spurs meanwhile adapts and goes properly with Tim Duncan that after cutting in the low post goes to the line, the angle that Leonard salt in midfield and Parker replacing Leonard. Ginobili wants to see Westbrook floated ball under but then pretends to pass the ball to Duncan to adjust the position to play the Thunder that frees the center of the box to get back to cover Parker, that in the event of rollover side by Duncan would served for a dynamic pick & roll play with the Caribbean. Diaw also reacts isetann by taking a position in post to push the medium forward Jackson creating the conditions for the lob pass.
Ginobili passes the ball to Diaw as expected from the execution of the scheme in relation to the reaction of the defense. Kendrick Perkins isetann Duncan leaves to go help but Diaw on the weak side is that Butler Westbrook (which isetann is in the moments we do get help ...) are too far away from the action to follow the cutting of Duncan that moves with perfect timing and receives Diaw from a assist to kiss for the rest iron.
This is just one of the many samples of a basketball accurate, functional, technically flawless isetann who played the Spurs in Game 1 of the Western isetann Conference finals. It may propose another 20 different situations in which all 5 Spurs in the field, assorted in many different ways, moving in unison holding intact the principles of spacing and reading that characterize the machine offensive coach Popovich, with the same result as bring the right man to the basket, in many cases just Duncan, the one who was to be marked by Serge Ibaka.
