About This Play/Drill

The Indiana Pacers ran this set a few times in the ECF against the Miami Heat.  They utilized mis-direction against an aggressive Heat defense to keep Miami on their toes.  Following the UCLA screen and flex screen the 1 man then turns right back around to get the 3, letting #24 Paul George run off a stagger screen.  This brought the 1 off a down screen and gave him the ball back in a better scoring area for him to create.
