Cavs vs Heat Illegal Screen (Video)

Also, plays like that are usually the result of something earlier in the game that might have happened between those two players. Just speculating but ref did a good job of perhaps noticing and staying with those two players. Clearly the screen was not a necessary play to free up a player. Definitely not intentional at any level.

I would absolutely consider this an intentional foul. It is a dirty play as mentioned. He leads his shoulder in. It is a non-basketball play and a dangerous one.

He made contact with a leading shoulder? Video I saw he was bracing for contact while moving into the defender. In fact, all the contact occurred in the middle of the screener's back.

You should be calling a lot of intentional fouls on illegal screens in your own games. How many did you call this season on similar plays?
