The Rockets' teamwork and defensive rotations were exceptionally good! But...
After receiving the ball, Mike Miller did not force a tough shot against the help defender. Instead, he turned to face Battier sideways, avoiding a steal, waited a moment, and then passed the ball towards the foul line with his back to the baseline...
After passing the ball, Millsap immediately moved down the left side of the paint to screen McGrady, who was helping Zhang Yang on defense.
Zhang Yang received the ball at the foul line, turned around, and hit a jump shot!
McGrady, "No doubt, Mike has really good passing instincts."
Thibodeau, "Damn! This offensive play is something special!"
In McGrady's view, it was Mike Miller's pass that made the play successful.
