About This Play/Drill

Down 2 with .7 left the Celtics ran this lob to tie it up vs. the Heat in a 2009 game.  Coach Rivers got this play from an AAU game.  This play is all about reading the screening action.  If 1's defender goes under the screen, 1 would bump off the screen for a jump shot.  If 1's defender tries to trail the screen or play on the outside and deny the catch then the curl for the lob is open.  If 1's defender fights through the screen but does not deny 1, 1 can still catch and shoot.
