About This Play/Drill

With the score tied at 94 and 1:05 remaining in Game 4 of the 2014 Eastern Conference Semi Finals, Miami Heat Head Coach Eric Spoelstra drew up this quick hitter to get his two best players in a pick and roll situation (James and Wade) with shooters spacing the floor.  In this case, the Brooklyn Nets helped on LBJ's roll to protect the rim, which allowed James to kick out to Chalmers on the wing, who immediately found Chris Bosh in the corner for the open 3.  The Heat would stay up for good in the game and take a 3-1 series lead over the Nets.
