Screens can provide a heatwave

Just like rebounding situations can prove to be a spark that turns things ugly, a screen can also be a game changer. Especially if we neglect to cover them correctly . Make sure to be aware a screen is coming in your games and adjust your position accordingly. You need to go where you got to go, to see what you got to see. That being said: do we agree on the call in the clip below?
