The action seems simple enough, but James is so accurate with his passes that the defense is forced to react to the back screen by either switching the screen, sagging off of the screener to provide help, or sinking off of the player getting screened to prevent an easy backdoor layup: The initial action produced easy backdoor dunks against Toronto—but the main goal of this play comes after the back screen is set.

Look, maybe Benioff and Weiss didn't intend that scene where everybody dunks on the book literally titled A Song of Ice and Fire to come off as a jab at the guy who wrote the books they adapted (and that they then passed right by), but it still felt pretty uncomfortable, like a couple of teenagers thumbing their nose at their dad, who silently fumes while they make fun of how he's not cool enough, man.
