Gino's suggestion and a Short Explanation
West wins the ♠K. West continues with another spade. East must duck the second trick (refuse to play the ♠A). East who holds the length in spades lacks a side entry. Ducking an early round of spades allow the defense the transportation needed to cash 4 spades.
