Basketball Play - Bulls Pitch Backscreen Lob

Bulls Pitch Backscreen Lob

Adam Spinella 01/29/2016

Fred Hoiberg has run the pitch series for several years, both at Iowa State and now with the Chicago Bulls. Because teams will often sag off the trailer when he has the ball, it makes him the perfect candidate to throw a lob pass. The Bulls run the play to get Jimmy Butler an alley oop with all the extra attention he gets on the perimeter. See More

Basketball Play - Jazz Pitch 13 High

Jazz Pitch 13 High

Adam Spinella 01/29/2016

Quin Snyder and the Utah Jazz run this great pitch into a ball screen, where the man defending the screen-setter has a difficult time providing a hedge. The guard who gives the pitch cuts straight off a down screen, which -- if hedged by the defense -- puts them in terrible position to defend the ball screen. See More

Basketball Play - Pistons Pitch Side Ballscreen

Pistons Pitch Side Ballscreen

Adam Spinella 01/29/2016

The pitch series is difficult to defend because usually the man defending the trailer is too far off the point of the handoff to give any type of resistence. The natural counter when a defender starts to meet the trailer high is for that trailer to swing the ball to the side and run straight into a side ball screen. The Pistons have run this action for Ersan Ilyasova this season. See More

Basketball Play - Wolves Motion Weak Quick

Wolves Motion Weak Quick

Adam Spinella 01/21/2016

The Minnesota Timberwolves ran Motion Weak and Kevin Martin, a strong outside shooter, never set the first cross screen. When the cross screen is not set and the offensive player darts up the down screen, his man will lag behind as he prepares to help on the cross screen. Without any contact with an opposing defender, Martin is free to get a step on his man before the action occurs. This wrinkle is great for a shooter if a team spends a lot of time running cross screens See More

Basketball Play - Warriors Motion Weak

Warriors Motion Weak

Adam Spinella 01/21/2016

Motion Weak, or "Thru", is a common NBA early offense set that can be run at any level. It is effective at using player movement and ball movement, trying to establish the post first and foremost, and getting a shooter open off a down screen. It is one of the best and most standard screen-the-screener actions, and it also results in tremendous floor balance with many wrinkles possible. Gregg Popovich of the Spurs has long been utilizing this set of offense. Steve Kerr and the Warriors have added a wrinkle, turning the set into a Horns formation off the down screen. See More
