Before everybody jumps to say, "Oh man, Steph shouldn't have done this," that's on me. After you outlet the ball, someone has to trail the play. You have to trail the play because if all else fails and a guy get trapped in that situation, he needs to be able to look back and just throw a simple outlet behind the play. So that's on me. I'm always the trailer in those situations. Obviously Fox had it on that last play. Me and Steph switched. I went back to trap and he kicked it to Harrison Barnes who missed the 3. Number 1, Clutch Player of the Year. We know what Fox does in that situation. So most importantly, you can't let him beat you there. Just as sure as I came to help, Steph reacted immediately, went and got a contest on Harrison's shot, and Harrison missed. Harrison was ready to call us every B-word and 304-word in the book if he made that shot. As we all know, it was great to see him miss it. But even if he does make that shot in that situation, you have to make someone else beat you.
