About This Play/Drill

The Orlando Magic ran this isolation play with the score tied and 10 seconds left in their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.  2 makes an Iverson cut across the screens from 4 & 5.  This cut is a decoy designed to draw attention from the defense.  It is very effective when this is done with one of your primary scorers.  5 then screens for 4, resulting in an isolation where 4 can go 1 on 1 attacking the basket with his dominant hand.  In this play x5 had to make a switch onto 4 which can also cause mismatch situations.
