Philadelphia 76ers SLOB action. A majority of Philly SLOB's will start with a strong side back screen and a weak side pin to the top. Play is designed to get Convington/Redick/Belinelli coming off a stagger away. Embiid has the ability to drive from the elbow. Covington/Redick/Belinelli are exceptional at reading the defense and will either get an open jumper or be able curl the stagger to the rim. See More

Philadelphia 76ers SLOB Action. Philly loves running regular actions out of SLOB looks. A majority of its SLOB's will start with a strong side back screen and a weak side pin to the top. In this action from there, Simmons gets them into their "Ear Tug" Series which looks a lot like "Horns". "Number-Number" tells you who is involved in the action. So for Ear Tug 25 Pop, the 2-5 are in action. Simmons comes off the 2 (Redick/Belinelli) and the 2 is flared by the 5 all the way out to the wing (Pop). Redick/Belinelli have the green light to shoot if they get open. Simmons then receives a RIP/Back screen from the 5 and clears. If the lob or dump down to Simmons is there, they will take it. Sequence ends with Embiid playing a 2-man game with Redick/Belinelli. See More

ATO from BCZK. In this set, 2 is the best shooter but acts as a decoy. 2 sells coming off 4's pin down screen, but instead sets a back screen so that 4 can get a lob at the rim. x4 will be in a stance ready to help on the shooter and unable to defend against the lob.

Here is a creative way Zalgiris uses Spain PNR in a baseline out of bounds situation. Play begins with a stagger into a zipper for the inbounder who catches at top of the key. Spain action ensues from here (frame 3) with 1 setting the back screen and popping, Having 3 and 4 cut through to opposite corners during this primary action offers some nice misdirection to distort the defense.

Interesting variation of Spain PNR from BCZK. In this set, 5 (rather than a shooter like in classic Spain action) sets the back screen for 4. If 5 sets a good screen, it allows BCZK to throw a lob to its best alley oop threat in forward Aaron White (4 in diagrams, #30 in video). Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Spain PNR Series See More

Another option out of Pinar Karsiayaka Head Coach Aleksandar Trifunovic's Motion Weak series. This set includes a staggered pin down (similar to "Motion Strong"). If no advantage the PG sets a back screen for 4 on the 2nd reversal. See More

Coach Sarunas Jasikevicius of Zalgiris Kaunas likes to camouflage Spain PNR action by starting with a diamond set, misleading the defense to believe it's a choice set for a guard. The back screen is set by a good shooter, so if his defender commits to 5's roll, he'll have an open shot. Great play to use in late game situations or for a surprise score.

Philadelphia 76ers transition quick hitter for 5 man to get a touch at the rim. Really difficult to action to defend as it appears wings will cross, but 2 stops short to set back screen for 5. More from Kevin Bruinsma: Utah Jazz - Defensive Game Plan See More

Kansas State set up this lob play by setting a pindown screen for the point guard in the middle of the floor. When 1 receives the ball, 5 sets a back screen for 3 to cut to the rim. 4 sets a flare screen for 2 to occupy the other defenders as 1 makes a lob pass to 3 at the rim. See More

Buffalo ran this action in its NCAA Tournament win vs Arizona. The Bulls added a little twist to the traditional back screen, ball screen action by using a PG to back screen for 4. This gives the lob an option and makes a bigger defender cover more ground. It also flows right into roll and replace action. NCAA Tournament - XsOs Behind the Upsets See More

St. Bonaventure used misdirection in this play to get the ball back to 1 off a stagger screen. 1 handed the ball off to 2 then cut to the corner. 2 passed to 4 up top while 1 cut off the back screen from 5 to the basket. 4 caused the defense to shift by looking to pass to 3 on the opposite side of the floor. 4 then came back to the strong side of the floor for a dribble handoff with 2. 1 turned back to cut off the stagger screen from 5 and 4 and receive the pass from 2.

The Toronto Raptors have used this play for the past several seasons when they are inbounding the ball from the sideline while facing a short clock situation. While the primary objective is generally for DeMar DeRozan to get a quick two, they have added wrinkles over time where a lob pass, as well as a DHO with the inbounder, have been explored. Overall, the play has the ability to be adjusted for specific personnel. A down screen is set by the 5 (or the team's best screen-setter), while a back screen is set by the 2 (primary target) on the weak side of the floor. These are generally used as decoy actions to tug defender's out of position for subsequent actions. 5 engages in a screen-the-screener action while 2 cuts towards the inbounder. The inbounder can pass to the 2, whose momentum should take them to the rim or to the baseline for a jumper. Additionally, the 5 can slip the screen against an aggresive defense and look for a lob pass at the rim. If those options cannot be succesfully explored, 1 quickly passes the ball to 5 as they flash to the strong side elbow to engage in a DHO. See More
