Garnett hits game-winner against the Knicks

“With that amount of time, you’re not switching, you’re stepping up.”

I’m not exactly sure what the analyst meant by this. If Lee jumps out and hedges (stepping up?), Garnett would still have been open at the top of the key. With that little time remaining, one of the guys covering Rasheed Wallace (Al Harrington) or Eddie House (Larry Hughes) needs to rotate over to Garnett because it is unlikely that he’s going to have enough time to make another pass. Harrington did rotate, but it was way too late. Hughes was hugging House, which was unnecessary once Pierce dribbled towards the other side of the court.
