My hand: ♠ K T 8 3 ♥ 7 ♦ K T 7 5 3 ♣ T 6 5
Partner opens 1 heart in 4th seat. East overcalls 1NT showing 4-6 clubs, 4-6 diamonds, and 6-12 points. I pass, as do West and North. I lead the 3 of spades.

3-9-A-5. Partner shifts to a diamond. Q-A-7-2. Declarer decides to play on diamonds too. 4-K-J-6. If I lead diamonds declarer gets 2 of them, so I have to find another suit. Might as well lead partner's suit now!
7-2-K-5. Partner cashes his A, setting up 2 tricks for declarer on board. A-J-5 of clubs-3. Partner puts declarer on board with a heart. 9-2 of clubs-6 of clubs-T.
Declarer cashes the A of clubs. A-9-4-T. And then the Q of hearts. Q-4-3 of clubs-3 of diamonds. And then throws partner in with a club. 7-K-8-8 of spades. And now he cashes a heart, 8-J of clubs-T of spades-2 of spades. He then cashes another heart and leads the Q of spades to my K. I then win the T of diamonds as well. (It turns out it was high and I'm a moron. Oh well!) Down 3.

He also disagrees with my second club pitch and wants me to pitch a diamond instead. Not sure I see why.
The auction is the same on the replay. My seat actually leads a heart but things go off the rails somehow. Declarer wins the second heart trick and sets up his clubs while he still has a diamond entry to his hand. The defense cashes out and only comes to 6 tricks and declarer gets the rest when he gets in the second time. Making 1. I guess the key was we took out declarer's diamond entry before he played clubs so he couldn't set them up?
