First play ran by the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Boston Celtics. Great play because of the options to take advantage of how the defense plays the flare screen. Options to beat both switch and no-switch strategies. Screen-the-screener (STS) action to finish. See More

Houston Rockets SLOB action designed to get the ball to James Harden and Chris Paul. Once Harden or Paul get the ball, they are put into a 2-game where they can attack downhill and create a mismatch. Entire side of floor is open after ball screen while other players space, ready for a kick out. See More

Washington Wizards - High Post Action: This set can be run to either side. The Wizards love running misdirection plays. Beal, Porter, and Oubre Jr. are hard to guard in the mid post area. This action allows those perimeter players to attack the paint or take open midrange jumpers. Playbook: Best of 2018 NBA Playoffs See More

Washington Wizards - After Timeout Action: The Wizards opened up the 2018 playoffs in game 1 with this action. The play was ran two times in a row. The Wizards scored back to back buckets. This action is initiated with a perimeter to perimeter zipper screen. This is really false action to set up the cross screen action for Gortat. On both plays, Gortat was not open and the ball was swung to Wall to attack a ball screen. Playbook: Best of 2018 NBA Playoffs See More

Great End of Game set. Here BCZK executes a nice Hammer play when they need a 3pt shot. This play works because when 1 and 5 run the middle pick and roll, x4 has to help on 5 rolling to the basket, which creates a great opportunity to run a hammer screen for 2 on the weak side.

ATO from BCZK. In this set, 2 is the best shooter but acts as a decoy. 2 sells coming off 4's pin down screen, but instead sets a back screen so that 4 can get a lob at the rim. x4 will be in a stance ready to help on the shooter and unable to defend against the lob.

Here is a creative way Zalgiris uses Spain PNR in a baseline out of bounds situation. Play begins with a stagger into a zipper for the inbounder who catches at top of the key. Spain action ensues from here (frame 3) with 1 setting the back screen and popping, Having 3 and 4 cut through to opposite corners during this primary action offers some nice misdirection to distort the defense.

Possibly the longest set in BCZK playbbok, witha Rip Screen, Thunder Screen, Euro Flow and Spain PNR in one set. Great action from head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius to challenge the defense, and his players execute it very well. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Spain PNR Series See More

An interesting counter to BCZK's original Iverson Guard Post Series. In this set, instead of receiving the ball in the post, 1 uses 2's pindown screen right into a DHO with 5. This action is extremely difficult for x1 to defend and puts pressure on the entire defense to help out, opening up several options. Blog Breakdown: Zalgiris Kaunas - Iverson Series See More

From Euroleage team Zalgiris Kaunas. Effective play for a point guard who can shoot from coming off screens. Shake action occurs when ball screener continues and sets a screen for a shooter, and ball handler throws back to the shooter after dragging the defense.
