      How confident are you that this was intentional? Watching live, I thought Johnson just made a good cut based on his defender's positioning.

      Nope, haha. What are you talking about? The defender knew where he was and was not tricked by that, he's tricked because he is caught looking away. If the guy standing had tricked him then he never moves. He SAW him move, he just didn't respond quick enough, because of where his actual focus was.
