How Eason's Misread Gave LeBron a Free Walk-In Dunk
Basketball
One misread by Tari Eason and it's a walk-in dunk for LeBron.
The Rockets had a play drawn up specifically to get KD a clean look off a back screen. But Eason never even looks in that direction until it's way too late. KD knew it. LeBron knew it. And LeBron made them pay with a coast-to-coast slam straight out of his Miami Heat highlight reel.
JJ Redick's defensive adjustments in the second half were the real story here though. The Lakers made it a priority to get the ball out of Durant's hands, and it worked. When you take away a team's primary option late in games, plays like this are what happen.
