About This Play/Drill

Team USA ran this play with 5:14 left in the 1st quarter in the gold medal game against Serbia.  The relatively easy screening action proved difficult to guard when they put two shooters at the 4 (Kevin Durant) and the 2 (Klay Thompson) spots.  Serbia was able to deny the initial pass to Durant but when he cut to the wing his defender had to stick with him.  This gave space to Thompson to read the screen and get open along the baseline for the shot.
