Film Session: Minnesota
Smith has the ball on the left wing. McRoberts sets a pick for Johnson and he curls around it:
Instead of heading to the top of the key and taking another screen from Morgan, Johnson knifes into the paint and has room on Mason:
The pass comes:
Johnson gets up the shot, but it misses:
He gets his own rebound:
He misses again:
Murphy grabs the board this time around:
He outlets the ball Washington as McRoberts comes to the ball:
As Washington turns to bring it up the court, McRoberts swipes in and steals the ball:
He finds Smith again:
Smith is fouled on the attempt and hit both of his free throws at the line to pull Indiana within a point of Minnesota:
We say it all the time, but it doesn’t ring more true on a play like this. McRoberts does all the little things that really help this squad.
