VIDEO: Luol Deng goes behind-the-back, drops dime in transition
Sam Sharpe / USA Today Sports
Luol Deng was feeling fancy in South Beach on Saturday night.
In the second quarter against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Miami Heat forward poked the ball free from the hands of Kevin Martin and took off in transition. With Martin in pursuit, Deng went behind his back to avoid the defender before dropping a nifty dime that fooled Zach LaVine and led to a Norris Cole layup.
Deng's generally a decent play-maker, but this was something else.
While he's still finding his fit in Miami's offense, instincts are instincts, and Deng's seem just fine.
