About This Play/Drill

The Golden State Warriors ran this as the opening play of the fourth quarter in their Christmas Day game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The multiple quick actions caused the defense to get confused, getting 4 open for a shot. 4 faked the screen for 2 before coming off the flare screen. This caused x4 to provide help on the fake screen, allowing him to get screened by 2. By using a shooter in Klay Thompson (2) to set the screen, x2 wasn't able to leave his man and 4 got open at the three point line.
