Serge Ibaka: Doing More Than Blocking Shots

Stay connected with SB Nation

Yes, Serge Ibaka has three blocks in Game 2 of the 2012 NBA Finals, including this memorable one on LeBron James, but his impact goes beyond that. The Thunder’s defense has really stepped up in this second quarter, closing off the driving lanes that were once open to the Heat, and Ibaka’s positioning defending pick and roll is the big reason why.

James Harden has all the points, but I’d argue Ibaka has made a bigger impact on the game.
