Video: Warriors' Andre Iguodala drops Matthew Dellavedova with crossover
To say that Andre Iguodala made Matthew Dellavedova stumble would be a serious understatement.
With a little more than nine minutes remaining in the second quarter of the Warriors' 110-99 road loss to the Cavaliers on Thursday, Iguodala pushed the ball up the court in transition after David Lee collected a defensive rebound. As he approached the three-point line, Iguodala uncorked a left-to-right crossover so vicious that it caused Dellavedova to fall flat on his stomach. Replays showed Dellavedova, a second-year guard out of Australia, grasping at air as he careened to the court.
