About This Play/Drill

The Minnesota Lynx used this pindown action to get an open shot off a screen for Seimone Augustus early in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals. 1 dribbled to the wing as 2 (Augustus) cut off the zipper screen. Once 2 received the pass from 1, the Lynx went to a Horns/Elbow formation with 5 flashing to the elbow and 1 cutting to the corner. After 2 passes to 4 she cuts to the basket to set up the pindown screen for 5, which gets her an open shot at the free throw line.
