If x4 does not jump to the ball or lets 4 cut across their face to the basket, 4 needs to take the cut that the defense is giving. 4 should always attempt to face cut to the basket as their first option. If 4 is not open on their basket cut because their defender is now on the ball side denying a return pass, 4 can break from their cut and set a down screen. By starting with a cut 4 is also able to improve their screening angle. See More

The play starts with 3, 5, and 2 in a line all above the free-throw line. 5 is at the free-throw line, 2 and 3 on the wings. 1 passes to 2 then makes a shallow cut to the ball-side corner. 4 steps over to replace 1 and gets the ball from 2. 2 then screens for 1 in the corner. 5 moves away as if setting a down-screen for 3, but fakes it and pops out to the wing. 1 hits 2 in the corner as 3 doubles back to set a cross-screen for 5. 2 passes to 5 for an easy lay-up.

The Miami Heat ran this against the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals to eliminate #21 Tim Duncan from hedging or trapping the ball screen. By having #6 Lebron James play the 3 he could handle the ball and free the 1 man #30 Norris Cole up to set a down screen for the 5 man #1 Chris Bosh. This is how #6 Lebron James got so many pull up jumpers as the Spurs post were slow getting up to the ball screen. See More

1st quarter play ran by the Knicks in thier game 5 loss to Boston. Having Felton set a down screen on Melo should prevent a switch. Much of the Celtics defense is geared to stopping Melo, so having Melo facilitate puts even more pressure on Boston's defense. Chandler set a great screen and Felton curled it perfectly for the open jumper. See More
