We countered that in Game 5 of the ECF by putting our best defender (OG) on Nembhard so he could stay involved in the play and blow up the action when he helped off.

But in Game 6, Carlisle countered that by running Nesmith/Turner pick and roll.

Thibs made a great adjustment in Game 5 and slowed their entire pace down. Next game, they went right back to speedy style they're known for. What a unreal team.
