  • Cook (2) comes off the middle ball screen from Hairston (15) and passes to Curry (30) on the wing then runs off a FT middle screen from Plumlee (5)

     

  • As Cook (2) is cutting off Plumlee's (5) screen the two big men move to set a staggered screen for Suliamon (14) who curls to the basket looking for a possible pass from Curry (30)

     

  • Curry (30) with no passing option receives a side ball screen from Plumlee (5) who rolls off the screen looking for a pass from Curry. Suliamon (14) clears the ball side block making way for Plumlee (5)

     

  • Curry (30) then gets a screen from Hairston but the defense cuts off the driving lane forcing Curry (30) to turn back and throw the ball to Suliamon (14) who has lifted out of the corner. Suliamon (14) has the option of throwing the ball inside to Plumlee (5)

     

  • Duke Flows into their Motion with Hairston (15) sprinting to set a wing ball screen with Suliamon (14). Hairston (15) rolls to the basket, Plumlee (5) steps out and receives the pass from Suliamon (14). Plumlee (5) looks post entry to Hairston (15) - Plumlee (5) is also a very good shooter from this position

     

  • On this opening play, Plumlee (5) looked to drive to the basket. Duke gets excellent movement off the ball with Sulaimon (14) and Cook (2) exchanging positions. They have Curry (30) at the FT line extended for a possible kick-out pass
