Shoutout Streamyard.
I forgot how powerful that program is & how much you can do.

Deeply irritated because I could have been doing *this* the whole W season. 😒

But tap in w/ Me & these 30 or so mins. & as always, shoutout to my broadcast graphics partner RTSoftware . ✨🫶🏾

Throughout the 2nd half, Vegas *did* sprinkle some Man to Man in there, continuing to keep Phoenix off their kilter.

This is just one of those possessions.

The Vegas Zone Instructions (as I believe them to be).

- Pass 1 and 2? Zone.
- 3rd pass? Shift into a man.
- Dribbling and dribble penetration? Man principles.

AS the Vegas defense was getting into its Man coverage for the poss.

It's like PHX never picked up on what the trigger, --from Zone to Man-- was (or at least was to me), INSIDE of the poss.

the last 1:20 or so for Vegas?

Straight "Guard Your Yard" Time.

Throughout, the backside of the 2nd half, they made sure to throw off the cadence and rhythm of the Phoenix offense even more by throwing in possessions of their pure Man to Man defense.

PHX reacted by trying to create more motion, but oftentimes ended up taking the shot on the 3rd pass, RIGHT..

Later, as PHX continued to struggle but tried to counter by mixing in some motion, Vegas treated cutters too with man principles.*

But That Zone Defense.
both the 2-3 version of if from the latter 3rd quarter, into the 4th, and also the 3-2 version down the stretch, was executed to near perfection.

And a zone at that, that morphed inside of itself.
The Trigger (I believe):

*For the first 3 passes of PHX’s offense, The Vegas Def operated out of their Zone Principles.

On the 3rd pass A N D off the bounce, the near defender would move into Man to Man principles.*

Interesting to see if Indiana lets the first side action do its thing in order to capitalize on the second side advantage to get the Vegas defense into some more scrambling and recovering.

welcomed a bit of the low man help that’s shaded to the side while splitting the whole backside right down the middle.

Kamilla is a live and heavy but well comported body with great hands.

that second helper comes & in comes the beauty that is Michaela at the 3.

i like it a lot.
