Ball actually recovers after the missed three and takes advantage of an overzealous Rudy Gobert that was dribbling upcourt. Ball’s steal and Gobert’s immediate foul gives New Orleans another chance to take the lead.
This time, the Pelicans have a much better plan of action offensively. The team runs an interesting Horns set that has Redick at the elbow across from Favors. Ball makes an entry pass the cuts toward Redick who sets a down screen. Ball is open for a brief moment but Favors’ pass is just a bit too far in front of Ball.
Still, Ball recovers and kicks to Holiday in the corner. He attacks the closeout and finds Ingram at the top of the key for an open three-pointer. The shot misses but it’s a far, far better offensive possession than the one prior.
The original Horns look also has some other wrinkles to it. If the pass doesn’t go to Ball, it could lead to a dribble handoff to Redick, an action he excels in, and the offense can flow from there as well.
