After a timeout the Spurs run an "Elevator" set for Belinelli to try and get him an open look at a 3, and even though he was wide open, Kawhi Leanord misses him on the wing. This action is setup by the point guard cutting through & the bigs screening for each other, disguising this play until the last minute. See More

Late in Overtime of a thrilling Game 2, the Spurs ran a great backdoor play to get Kawhi a layup and essentially seal the victory. The Spurs run alot of Zipper action and this was setup by Kawhi baiting his man on the high side trying to prevent the pass up top, allowing him to cut backdoor. Notice on the weakside Duncan sets a weakside screen for Green (their common "Hammer" action) keeping the defense occupied and allowing for a shot if the defense overhelps. See More

Memphis Grizzlies run the "Thru Series" like the Spurs and like to get Mike Conley moving without the ball before attacking out of Pick & Roll or getting a post up for Gasol. To open Game 2 they ran the same Thru action but had Conley fake hard to the ball and cut backdoor. See More

One of the most lethal actions the Warriors run is having Steph & Klay twirl on the wing. Usually Steph cuts to set a down screen for Klay, looking for a quick shot, in this set they "Twirl" or Klay cuts off of the screen and curls back inside setting another quick screen for Steph. Out of this action, the first guard receives a dribble handoff and the other cuts through off a double screen, looking for a shot. Kerr also runs a counter out of this where instead of cutting off double screen Klay is involved in the double screen and "Leaks" or slips out early to get a shot. See More

Coaches generally watch what other coaches use in their offense and if they like the action or think that it can be used for their personnel, they steal it. Kerr uses a set that Doc Rivers has been utilizing for JJ Redick to get an open shot. This set flows in transition nicely for the Warriors who like to run the "Phoenix Drag" screen in transition, and they get good shots out of it. Typically Steph runs the point in this set, but against New Orleans Kerr has Iguadola handle in order to get Steph a shot. Iguadola dribbles at Steph who cuts backdoor, then receives a ballscreen (Drag) and dribbles off of it. Opposite wing cuts hard to the rim pulling his defender with him, then Steph sprints off down screen for a shot. See More

Steve Kerr has been an incredible leader and his After Time Out plays this year have been outstanding. Against the Pelicans, in both game 1 & game 2 he ran an After Time Out set to get Draymond Green a quick layup. This year, the Warriors have ran more floppy action with Klay & Steph cutting off screens and Iguadola handling the ball. So, off this action Kerr has Klay cut to the wing, with the two bigs staying high as Iguadola passes it to Klay. Steph then turns and sets a "Rip" screen (backscreen on Draymond's defender) to have Draymond cut to the rim for a layup. See More

In the Chicago Bulls bigger lineups they have Mirotic at the 3, Gibson at the 4 & Noah at the 5, this lineup works well because Mirotic can shoot the 3 well and set ballscreens effectively. A set that the Bulls have run throughout the year is having Mirotic set a ballscreen and they turn and sprint off an elevator screen. See More

Vey well thought out play from the Spurs... Having 4 receive back screen from 5 makes it difficult for 4's defender to stunt/hedge as 1 comes off down screen... Especially when Parker (1) is non-shooter. Spurs ran this against the Clippers in Game 2 with minutes remaining in the first half. See More

This play has been a very popular play for the Clippers as of late. A very simple play, 1 must do his best to dribble at x4 and drag him out as far as possible. See More

If Lillard decides to shoot the ball of the high ball screen, Robin Lopez (5) has great rebounding position. See More
