About This Play/Drill

First play ran by the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Boston Celtics. Great play because of the options to take advantage of how the defense plays the flare screen. Options to beat both switch and no-switch strategies. Screen-the-screener (STS) action to finish.
