NBA TV recently showed on their "Hardwood Classics" the 2003 NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the New Jersey Nets. In Game 6 late in the 2nd Quarter, the Spurs ran this quick hitter to get a pick and roll action with Tim Duncan and David Robinson. Duncan was able to hit Robinson rolling to the rim for a dunk.
5 walks down the lane as 1 enters the ball to 4 at the elbow. 1 then gets offset to the wing.
As 4 receives the pass, he will immediately recieve a ball screen from 5. 5 screens and rolls to the rim.
1st Option: 4 passes to 5 rolling to the rim (after setting the ball screen for 4).
2nd Option: If the pass to 5 is not available, 4 continues to penetrate and looks to make a play.
3rd Option: If 3's defender helps into the paint to cover the pick and roll action or 4 penetration, 4 can then kick out to 3 in the corner for the open shot.
