Basketball Play - Dallas Mavericks - Stagger Split Backdoor

Dallas Mavericks - Stagger Split Backdoor

Matt Wheeler 02/08/2022

This set play from the Dallas Mavericks works great after you've run stagger screen actions a few times. Most of the time the stagger screen would be the main action in the play and x3 can have a tendency to relax since he's not a part of it. This play capitalizes on that by quickly going away from the stagger screen and hitting 3 on the backdoor pass. See More

Boston Celtics - Stagger DHO

Matt Wheeler 10/19/2021

The Boston Celtics new head coach, Ime Udoka, ran this ATO to get Dennis Schroeder (2) an opportunity to use his quickness to attack the basket to create a play. Schroeder's speed comes in handy as he cuts off a screen and a dribble handoff to get the ball and attack the basket. Even though the Miami Heat switched the dribble handoff, Shroeder had too much momentum and was easily able to blow by the defender and create a shot for a three in the corner. Video clip below.
