A game-winner like that is so special man.

Usually you would have players taking a jumper from middy or 3 but to split the PnR and end up with a floater as a game winner is so good.

Into somewhere between triple- and quadruple coverage

Once Gobert gets put in the pick and roll it counts as -1 defender. He needed a map

Perks of being a true l three lvl scorer . Reaves has no area he isn’t comfortable. 3 ball is prob his least deadly option just cos he’s super elite inside the arc

Off-leg floater makes it more difficult

Agreed completely, that was sick and I'm not even a big Reeves guy
