In this box set play from Creighton, the post players start on the left side of the lane and the wings start on the right side. 2 screens down for 3 who cuts to the right wing for a shot. After 2 sets the screen for 3, he sprints between a double-screen from 4 and 5 to the left wing. 4 and 5 close the screen once 2 has cleared to close off 2's defender from getting through. See More

Another counter to a normal set that teams ran in the regular season is an empty set from the Washington Wizards. The Wizards normally run a post rub into a cross screen for the big man to get a post touch, but in the playoffs they ran a counter that had the guard who normally screens the big man, runs to the corner. The other big flashes to the elbow to empty the paint and allows the big to seal his man and have an entry for a layup. See More

To open up game 2 against Milwaukee, the Bulls ran a nice Lob set to get an easy two points for Jimmy Butler. The set begins with Pau screening down for Butler who then sets a ballscreen on the wing. Because his man has to show/help/switch on the ballscreen this allows him to cut off the double backscreen easier for a lob. See More

Brad Stevens took an underrated and a Boston Celtic team that had mid season trades and were expecting to head for an early draft pick to the playoffs. He is one of the best basketball minds in the NBA, and he runs a nice set for Isaiah Thomas with multiple options off of it. It starts with a dribble handoff to the trailing big and the point guard cuts off backscreen from the opposite big man at the elbow. The first option is for the point guard to "V" cut back off at the elbow and look for a shot opportunity. If there is not shot available, 5 will step up and set a ballscreen, because of the dribble handoff 4 is already spacing the floor, so the Spread Pick & Roll doesn't need to be setup. The next option is for 1 to continue off backscreen and set a flex screen for the wing man and then receive a down screen from 4. See More

A counter out of the "Hammer set" the Spurs run so well. Instead of looking for the baseline drift, Danny Green sets a flare screen for Mills and cuts to the ball for an open shot. See More

Indiana Pacers set play designed to get an open shot coming off the elevator screen. If the defense falls asleep, the first option off the down screen and cut to the basket is a quick hit for a look to score. See More

Milwaukee ran this variation of Pistol action against Chicago in Game 5 of the NBA Playoffs. This is the first time I have seen this variation of Pistol action, but with shooters like O.J. Mayo at the 2 and Ersan Ilyasova at the 4, there are numerous possibilities for counters available out of this set. See More

At the beginning of every game Kerr likes to run Klay off a pindown screen to get him going, and that is exactly what he ran in Game 2. Out of their "Zipper" Series, they run a fake dribble handoff for Steph and Klay sneaks out of a screen from Bogut to get an easy look. See More

4 screens down for 2 who cuts up and gets the pass from 1. 2 makes the quick pass back to 1 then flares off of 5's screen at the right elbow. At the same time, 3 cuts to the left wing/corner off of a screen from 4. If 1 has trouble passing to 2 on the initial cut, he can continue dribbling towards the left wing as 4 posts up. See More
