Inbounding the ball from the corner can be a difficult situation. The Nuggets started this play with good spacing to make sure they got the ball in. Once 1 got the pass they ran a decoy action with 3 cutting across screens from 5 and 4 to shift the defense. 1 then dribbled back to the original side to pass the ball to 2, cutting through the elevator screen for a shot.

The Houston Rockets were down 5 with 24.4 seconds left in game 1 against the Golden State Warriors. They needed at least two scores to tie the game so they needed to get a quick basket and then foul to extend the game. This play worked very well against the Warriors strategy of switching all screens. James Harden (2) started the play as a decoy, setting the second screen for Eric Gordon (3). The Warriors switched off of Harden on the screen to take away an open three from Gordon. Harden then flashed to the ball to receive the pass from 5 and quickly attack the basket.

3 gets a stagger screen from 5 and 1 to sprint towards the ball. 2 will get a ball screen from 3 before getting a flare screen from 5 who should look to slip to the basket if it's available. Otherwise 5 screens 2 to attack the paint. See More

A quick look for the Toronto Raptors at the start of Game 1 against the 76ers. When your 5 is the size of Marc Gasol and has a soft touch like his, you get an easy look at the rim for your PG. Blog Post: Coach, What's Your Basketball Genre? See More

This is a beautiful set using a decoy spread ball screen to demand coverage and a tight space hand off out of that coverage with a great shooter. The high post flash and back door cut is a page right out of the triangle offense using the "blind pig" action from that offense. See More
