Phil Jackson's Secret Play: How Curry's Back-Door Cut Broke the Kings
This is exactly the type of basketball IQ play that separates championship teams from pretenders. Golden State runs a classic Phil Jackson sideline set with Curry back-screening for the inbounder. When Fox cheats high to deny the handoff, Steph makes the perfect read and cuts backdoor for an easy bucket in crunch time.
The beauty is in the simplicity - no fancy dribbling or hero ball, just pure execution and court awareness. Fox should have stayed disciplined on the pin-down coverage, but Curry's gravity pulls defenders out of position even when he doesn't have the ball.
This is championship-level basketball at its finest.
