This creates opportunities for Curry (1) to play off the ball and run his defender off of screens. After receiving the pass from Green in the pinch post, Durant (3) has the option to handoff back to Green, hit Curry off the stagger, or go one on one if those options aren't available. See More

Kansas finished off a run with this SLOB play in their sweet sixteen game against Purdue. 1 makes a zipper cut to receive the inbounds pass from 4. 4 makes an Iverson cut off of screens from 3 & 5. Once x4 curls over the top of 5, x5 has to provide help at the rim. In this play he didn't and 4 was able to get the lob dunk. Another key is 1 selling the Iverson cut for 4 by following him with the dribble. 1 cuts back before the cut to the rim to set up a better passing angle. See More
