Man-to-man defense is a defensive formation in which
a coach assigns each player on the line-up a specific offensive player to follow and defend on the court .Both teams applied man-to-man defense so that it will give pressure to the offensive team. GSW applied it at 0:12 and 1:39 while CLE at 1:20, 3:03 and 4:34. They followed the players who were appointed by each one of them. Just like how Kyrie Irving guarded Stephen Curry and Lebron to Draymond, as what have shown in the video.
2. How many turnovers in total have you observed
committed by both teams? A player is charged with a turnover if they lose possession of the ball to the opposing team before a shot is attempted. In this video, there are 4 turnovers, one for CLE and three for GSW. For CLE at 2:39 and for GSW at 0:03,0:43 and 2:42. First turnover was the steal of Irving from Draymond. Next is Durant’s fast break which was seized by Irving and the last one is at the 24 seconds shot clock violation by GSW, shot by Thompson.
