  • Scola catches the ball at the high post guarded by Taj Gibson. He does a dribble hand off with Goran Dragic who is guarded by Nate Robinson.
     

  • After the handoff, Scola sets a screen on Robinson. Dragic uses the screen and dribbles toward the corner. Gibson stays with Dragic, and Robinson fights over Scola's pick.
     

  • Dragic passes out of the oncoming double team to a wide open Scola, who buries the 18-foot jumper.
     

  • The Suns come out in a double high post set with Gortat and Scola at the elbows. Tucker and Brown start the play in the corners. Dragic initiates with a pass to Scola then cuts down the middle of the lane. Gortat pivots and moves toward Brown in the corner.
     

  • Gortat sets a screen on Rip Hamilton and Brown cuts to the wing. At the same time, Dragic sets a screen on Taj Gibson.
     

  • Gortat rolls to the middle of the key. Scola hits him with a pass from the high post. Gortat catches with only Kirk Hinrich between him and the hoop. He scores easily.
     

  • The Suns come out in double high post again. Dragic dribbles at Scola who vacates his position and cuts toward the hoop. Gortat comes out to set a pick on Russell Westbrook.
     

  • Dragic uses the screen and dribbles back to his left. Hasheem Thabeet goes with Dragic to prevent penetration. Scola cuts toward the elbow.
     

  • Dragic passes to Scola at the elbow. Gortat rolls down the lane.
     

  • Sefalosha slides into the paint to help on Gortat who is rolling freely to the basket. Brown cuts from the corner to the wing and catches a pass from Scola. Brown nails the wide-open three.
