If I might add (without piling on...)
You were in position to see everything with the pressure, which was great, but you may not have anticipated a possible steal and then got caught flat-footed. When that 50/50 pass went up it seemed like there was a good chance it could get picked off.
If you - or any of us - isn't flat-footed on that play, we make it to the endline with no problem. If we make it to the endline, it would give us a chance to close down on the play and look across the lane at the other player as he came in for the lay-up. It doesn't guarantee catching the travel but it'll make it easier.
It would've been nice if the camera angle showed where the new L was but I doubt he/she would've been able to get into position to make a call regardless. At the time the pass was picked off six players were in the frontcourt so I'm figuring he/she would've at least been by the top of the three-point arc.
