Other than the Hali game winner in game 1, the next biggest play might have been Nembhard stoning SGA in the possession before that.
Shai *never* gets stood up like that, chest to chest. And Nembhard didn't move an inch, which is what Shai thrives on. He has every countermove in the book based on how that initial contact goes - but Nembhart was planted like an oak tree!
You could see SGA was surprised and out of rhythm once he got that perfect defensive challenge.
I can't make sense of Andrew Nembhard. He's not a great shooter, he's not a great playmaker, he's not an elite Caruso-type defender - but somehow he's always making plays in the most crucial times on the biggest stage. It's just a *baller*, man!
Great primer, Mike! Should be a fabulous game 7.
Thanks, Finn! Can’t wait
