The game plan against Wemby has to be to force outside shots and wall him off in transition, and Dallas completely lost that discipline on this possession.
Flagg and Johnson see Clayton sprinting into position and need to scram him out immediately. Instead Flagg vacates, Clayton inexplicably pressures instead of backing off, and Wembany blows right by everyone for the easy basket.
I do like that the Mavs didn't switch the step up screen and give up the mismatch, but when it's this physical you have to be worried about a Fox drive, so Martin gets forced into guarding Wembany in the paint anyway. Jump stop, rip through, soft finger roll. That's a bucket you tip your cap to. #shorts
