  • 1 (D. Wade) dribbles towards the left wing and passes to 5 (C. Bosh) cutting to the FT line extended area.
  • 1 back screens 2 (R.Allen) into a "fake screen" for 3. 3 (N. Cole) cuts in toward the block as 2 is fake screening toward him. After 1 screens for 2, 1 pops back out to the wing. 5 passes back to 1 on the left wing. 4 (L. James) cuts down towards the elbow to set up for the elevator screen.
  • 3 takes another step towards 2, then cuts back sharply to the corner. 2 cuts up the middle between 4 and 5 setting the elevator screens.

    1st Option: 1 passes to 2 for the shot near the top of the key.
