At the end you see Bennett attempt to switch off with Nesterov to cover the third guy high and Nesterov again doesn't pick it up or Bennett provides zero communication... or both. In that instant both Nesterov and Bennett are covering no one. It's an oversimplification to say that is only a Bennett issue but it definitely is a great example of how our d-zone still sucks.
