You do have 9 points so you are inclined to bid game, but partner needs help in s, and you are bankrupt there. But rather than just signing off, this hand gives you a way to temporize.

You bid 3, a bid not covered in the Summary, but which you hope partner will interpret as meaning: "I can't help you in s, but I have some great s."

Apparently partner interpreted it the way you wanted since he bid the game.
