In basketball, a "steal" refers to a defensive action where a player legally takes the ball away from an offensive player, preventing them from making a play. This typically occurs when the defensive player intercepts a pass, swipes the ball from the offensive player while they are dribbling, or gains possession of the ball during a loose ball situation. Steals are an important aspect of defensive strategy in basketball, as they can lead to fast break opportunities and can swing momentum during a game.
