About This Play/Drill

The Indiana Pacers run a lot of zipper screens to free up #24 Paul George.  Here they sent #55 Roy Hibbert up immediatly on the catch to set a ball screen for George while clearing out the left side of the floor.  I think the key to this action is #21 David West the Pacer's 4 man moving to the short corner.
