Both L and C set in concrete.
L should have at least been at close down position when ball was on perimeter above the key, which, even if he hadn't initiated a rotation, would have given him a look at the secondary defender enough to validate LGP for the correct charge call. L had to have been ballwatching on the dribbler to default to a block on this play.
C should have stepped down toward the basket with the drive. Not saying that would have been his call because the crash was on the secondary defender which we typically give to L to have first crack. The lack of urgency, engagement, and mobility of both as they just stood there, still and stable, didn't look good and contributed to the wrong call being made.
Just my $3.68.
Anybody disagree?
