About This Play/Drill

The Memphis Grizzlies ran this down 4 with 20 seconds left in an NBA Summer League game.  In this situation they would need 2 scores and they opted to go for the 3 coming out of a timeout.  The multiple screening actions from 4 & 5 caused the defensive confusion and led to an open shot for 4.  4 & 5's defenders have to guard back to back screening actions, first with the Iverson cut made by 2 and then the elevator screen for 3.  If 5 cut to the basket instead of drifting to the perimeter he might have gotten a layup or at least would have created more space for the shot from 4.
