About This Play/Drill

The Miami Heat ran this play to start Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals versus the Chicago Bulls. It seems to be a theme lately that coaches are doing a fantastic job of either screening players into picks OR setting screening which puts the defense in a bind and using the initial screener as a picker. The Miami Heat did an excellent job with this play because the Bulls had to respect the fact that Wade and Lebron both came off screens. This allowed Bosh to quickly step out for the pick & roll in which the defense was a tad late helping.
