Diamond set into side ball screen Spain PNR from BCZK. Succesfully running Side Spain PNRs the entire season, this play was deadly for Zalgiris because of the Swing action which forces all five defenders be active in defense the whole 24 seconds of the shot clock.

The Washington Wizards run this set when inbounding the ball from the baseline. The play leverages their guards' ability to screen, shoot on the catch, as well as have enough "gravity" to force the defense to make a decision on the Slice cut. Scott Brooks uses it often when Bradley Beal is in the game. The play call is "4." See More

This play by Richard Pitino is a great misdirection set. It really tries to test the defensive team on the backside of the flare screen coverage. If the flare screen support is too much, defenders will be late on ball screen support. This became a money play with Minnesota down the stretch. The big that sets the ball screen can also slip it. If the defensive team stunts at the ball screen too hard, it is best to have a best shooter (3) on the strong side of the ball screen (the player who just came off the flare).

Loyola Chicago started this play with two dribble handoffs as 3 cut to the left corner. This shifted the defense and cleared the right side of the floor. As 2 dribbled at 1, 1 uses the flare screen from 5 to get open for the shot. On the FMS blog: Loyola Chicago Ball Screen Offense Breakdown See More

Although this set is not enthusiastically run, or defended, it is nontheless a good action. The intitial set up looks like it is going to be your basic dribble handoff into a ball screen action, but instead it is a quick pitch to a flare for a 3pt look, or a slip to the rim. Ran with some pace, this could be a really good quick transition action. See More
