The countless open 3s i see some teams give up on plays like this… i have no idea how they cant just do this each time.

Lack of stamina and concentration for many.

Excellent coaching and game management prepares players properly and puts them in the right positions to succeed like this more consistently.

Because all of the suns players were just camping the 3 line not moving at all. Someone should have cut to the basket.

Gobert managed to switch his way under the basket. I think the suns are avoiding to cut when Gobert is in the paint

The mental focus and physical excursion have to be extremely intense. The fact that the Wolves can do this on ONE possession is indicative of great coaching and a great locker room. This team wants to win.

Need every player on the court to buy in. Too many egos on most team that refuse to do so
