This is exactly the kind of chess match I love breaking down. Mitch Johnson's decision to put Wemby on Amen Thompson was brilliant - completely neutralized Houston's pace and forced them into half-court sets they weren't ready for. When you have a non-shooter like Thompson, parking him in the corner with a 7'3" defender basically turns him into a spectator. KD couldn't even look his way knowing what would happen if he passed it. Jason Kidd did the same thing with AD earlier this season and it worked like a charm. Sometimes the simplest adjustments are the most devastating ones.
