Basketball Play - Middle Tennessee - 1-3-1 Zone Variations

Middle Tennessee - 1-3-1 Zone Variations

Matt Wheeler 03/17/2017

Middle Tennessee has made it out of the first round of the NCAA Tournament as the underdog two years in a row. One of the keys to their success is the unique variations of the 1-3-1 defense that they use. They play a very aggressive version of the zone but what makes them different is how they rotate out of it to completely change their defense in the same possession. This can slow the opposing offense down and force them to get into a play late in the shot clock. See More

Basketball Play - Butler - PNR Rip Lob

Butler - PNR Rip Lob

Matt Wheeler 03/19/2017

Butler opened the second half of their game against Middle Tennessee with this back screen lob play. 4 sets up the play by faking the screen for 3 then popping back out to get the ball from 1. 2 then sets the back screen for 5. This puts the defense at a disadvantage by forcing a smaller player to help on the lob pass to 5. See More

Basketball Play - Cleveland Cavs - PNR Pindown Lob

Cleveland Cavs - PNR Pindown Lob

Matt Wheeler 04/15/2017

The Cleveland Cavs ran this play late in the 1st quarter of their playoff opener against the Indiana Pacers. On the previous possession Cleveland ran the same action except 5 followed 4 for a stagger screen for 3. This time 5 rolled to the basket for the lob catching the defense off guard. x4 and x3 were focused on guarding the pindown action for a shooter (3). x2 can't provide help because he has to guard against the corner 3. When x5 had to help on the ball screen 5 cut to the rim and was wide open for the lob. See More

Basketball Play - Cleveland Cavs - Pindown Horns Spread

Cleveland Cavs - Pindown Horns Spread

Matt Wheeler 05/08/2017

The Cleveland Cavs ran this inverted variation of the Horns set early in game 4 against the Toronto Raptors. Normally in a Horns set 5 & 4 set the ball screen up top with 2 & 3 in the corners. In this lineup the Cavs have 4 shooters spaced around LeBron James (3) so it was easy for the guards and posts to switch roles and still keep everyone spaced on the perimeter. 5 & 4 set pindown screens for 1 & 2 then cut to the corners. 3 turns the corner on the ball screen to look for a shot or any of his teammates spaced around the 3 point line.

Basketball Play - Cleveland Cavs - Pindown Double Iso

Cleveland Cavs - Pindown Double Iso

Matt Wheeler 05/08/2017

The Cleveland Cavaliers ran this play multiple times in the 4th quarter of game 4 against the Toronto Raptors to get Kyrie Irving (1) in isolation situations for him to create. The Cavs used this play to help break open the game and extend their lead from 2 to 8. After 1 gets the ball, 3, 2, and 4 are spread around the 3 point line to give 1 space to operate. 5 is on the weakside block ready for an offensive rebound or a finish if his defender helps.

Basketball Play - Golden State Warriors - PNR Lob

Golden State Warriors - PNR Lob

Matt Wheeler 06/05/2017

The Golden State Warriors ran this play in the 1st quarter, shortly after Javale McGee (5) checked into the game. This play utililizes the athleticism of 5, getting him open because the defense can't provide help on the ball screen off of Steph Curry (1) or Klay Thompson (2). As Kevin Durant (4) turns the corner on the ball screen, McGee gets a running start to the rim. Kevin Love tries to provide help off of 3 but he couldn't get high enough to contest the lob. See More

Basketball Play - Golden State Warriors - Loop Stagger Split

Golden State Warriors - Loop Stagger Split

Matt Wheeler 06/05/2017

The Golden State Warriors ran this play to start the 4th quarter in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. It is a variation of the "Loop" play that they run, which Steve Kerr brought over from his time with the San Antonio Spurs. Normally 3 would curl around 5 to receive the pass up top from 1. In this play 3 curls around 5 to the FT line and 1 passes to 5 in the post. 3 & 1 then set a staggered screen for 2. 2 curls around 3's screen and cuts to the basket to receive the pass from 5.

Basketball Play - Dallas Mavericks - EOG 3/4 OOB

Dallas Mavericks - EOG 3/4 OOB

Matt Wheeler 07/06/2017

The Dallas Mavericks were tied with 4.1 seconds left in the 2017 Orlando NBA Summer League championship game and unable to advance the ball to the front court with a timeout. They ran this play to get 1 the ball on the run to get a look at a shot. The Pistons defended this by not playing x4 on the ball and keeping him at halfcourt to shadow the ball handler. This slowed down 1, but he was still able to get off a shot as time expired. See More
