Nuggets’ Mason Plumlee is getting blamed for awful defense on Anthony Davis game-winner

There are a lot of things you can point to on Anthony Davis’s game-winning three-pointer that defeated the Denver Nuggets and gave the Los Angles Lakers a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals.

There was the play design, the fact that Davis was in perfect position and readiness to bury it and one heck of a pass from Rajon Rondo.

But, as just about everyone on Twitter has noticed, there was also a not-so-great defensive play by the Nuggets’ Mason Plumlee.

Instead of staying right on Davis as he curled to the three-point line, he ran right into LeBron James and Jerami Grant, who were locked up near Davis.

Not good.

It appeared that maybe Plumlee called for Grant to switch? It’s very confusing.

Again: lots of factors with that Davis shot, but Plumlee was a huge reason Davis had a much cleaner look.
