Breakdown
- 5 and 4 downscreen for 2 and 3, who cut to the wings.
- 1 passes to 3 on the wing.
- 5 posts up strong on the block.
- 4 sets a high off-ball screen for 1, who cuts hard to the hoop.
- 5 either takes the shot or looks to hit 1 cutting backside.
Coaching Tip
Stress patience and spacing. If 5 doesn’t have an immediate look, the cutting action keeps the defense shifting and opens up easy options.
