This is the short version of a video analysis of the last 6 minutes of the thrilling 2021.10.19.GSW-LAL game.

Steph Curry had a frustrating game that ended with his cathartic yells at the Staples Center crowd. The Lakers defense keyed in on Steph this whole game. And they sent two players, three players shadowing him. So it was hard for Steph to get any kind of rhythm and he shot pretty badly, but he still was useful through his good passing, play-making and screening, all the way to a triple double.

Down the stretch in winning time, Steph managed to dominate the game without scoring and created the advantages that his teammates translated to baskets and a great win.

Co-starring: Nemanja Bjelica, Draymond Green, Damion Lee, Andrew Wiggins, plus LeBron James and Anthony Davis being pissed at Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony.

Short Version (free). 13+ minutes of video analysis and my usual ramblings, free for everyone.

Full Version (at DubNationHQ.com soon). The full experience with no ads: 18+ minutes with more defensive and offensive plays down the stretch analyzed.

That dagger shot of Wiggins should be a learning point for the newcomers. Steph initiated that sequence with 6 sec. to go and 1.4 sec left when Wiggins took the shot. In those 5 .6 sec, 4 players touched the ball with the last player wide open. That in essence is the whole point of Kerr’s system. Breakdown the defense and create an opening by passing the ball. Eventually a player will over commit and leave a shooter open.

That last play was really a beautiful high IQ basketball. Most credit belong to Beli with his drive, fake pass to Lee then kick out to Wiggins but everyone also doing their own part.

Woa... Never thought id ever get a breakdown of celebrations... You are next level sir!

[ssj-shadow]

The longer the analysis, the better. Awesome.

[hans]

Bro the breakdown of celebration was the icing on the cake. lol

[jrgarcia]

I like the last part. 😆 you do have a good sense of humor brother.

Job well done. Cool play analysis. 👏👏👏

[Nothing-nfve]

i hope this kind of impact by curry will be recognized in the finals and give him the finals MVP.

I loved your analysis. Great stuff!

Beli is fantastic. He already knows what the Warriors' system means for his role and is fitting in perfectly. This was his first regular season game with the Warriors! He *ought* to be a little bit confused - new teammates and all. He obviously isn't.

Got to love smart players.

Neman Bjelica is going to be the dubs' x-factor. He's the Nikola Jokic of the warriors

[camdonking]

Steph like, "I finally have people who can hit shots besides me!!!!"

[MrBrachiatingApe]

"Damion Lee's "Spastic Matador" defense was surprisingly effective on LeBron today, who left the game in the third quarter needing a quiet, dark room and a hug..."

I don't usually comment, but you sir you deserve everything I can do to support .
Very informative while also being lighthearted breakdown .

Keep up the great work and I'll be in tune for your next videos! If you accept viewers requests I'd love to see you breakdown more into matchups and the team diversity the team has

[pdizzle]

Wow. Incredible turnaround time! Nice job bro!

[Alic]

These are the best sports breakdowns I've ever seen. Smart and entertaining balanced together!

[jerrythepunkrat]

The breakdown of these plays is what got me here. But the dissection of non-basketball player reactions...that's what kept me.

Warriors always play inteligent ball.. plus this year they have the stamina.. plus Klay will return healthy.. the NBA should be worried🤔

[aiklawas]

Ohhh! I think the reason why i liked this was because it was entertaining as well haha! The lol

[TheDeadlyefx]

Fantastic breakdown as always!

The Warriors looked great last night ...they are who I thought they were: Strength in Numbers 2.0 !!!

[woga]

Look at my teammate steph man so inspirational

[flipfly]

Bjelica's IQ and playstyle fits perfectly to the warriors' offense.
