Giannis is one of the best defenders on the planet and can someone tell me why he wasn’t defending Durant?

I think the concept is that they’re running high P&R anyway, so if they’re going to switch, what’s the point of putting Giannis there if he’s just going to be guarding the screener after. But we certainly saw that Durant was able to get to the rim a bunch of times- and that’s not going to happen if Giannis is there. And I prefer to see Durant not getting a chance to be comfortable.

The real problem- Lopez. He’s useless when Durant is at the 5. But there was Budenholzer, leaving him out there to close a full second too late on 3s allowing Jeff Green his moment in the sun…
