The Portland Trailblazers ran this set vs. the Denver Nuggets on January 23, 2014. Wesley Matthews (2) runs at Damian Lilliard's defender (X1) as if to set an on/ball screen. Just before getting to X1 he quickly slipped the screen and faded to the 3-point arc. Both Nugget defenders stayed with Lilliard making for an easy 3-point attempt for Matthews with no other defenders available to rotate to contest the shot. This set takes advantage of the fact that most teams will switch guard-to-guard on/ball screens and the Nuggets got caught anticipating there would be an on/ball screen set.
2 runs at X1 as if to set an on/ball screen for 1. Taking advantage of the fact that most teams will switch guard-for-guard on/balls 2 quickly slips and fades to the arc to get separation from X1 and X2. 1 passes back to 2 for a 3-point attempt.
