I’m 🇫🇷 but post in 🇬🇧
'Pistol' for Shai ➡️ the goal is to target Curry ➡️ Shai post him up and fire the midrange

OKC Thunder - Double Drag Empty

double drag = P&R with two screen ➡️ first one to targe Curry the second one to attack the drop ➡️ Quintent Post has to manage the 2v1 and nobody in the corner so no help = layup for iHart

LA Lakers - Pisol Flare

Pistol between Reaves and Knecht = screen on the wing between small followed by a flare screen from Koloko ➡️ Yabusele who doesn't switch and ball watching doen't see the cut.
Nice pass from Reaves!

To finish this thread ➡️ the Cavs still in the zone ➡️ very good cut behind the defense by Dru Smith and excellent laser pass a la 'Luka' by Tyler Herro.
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
Cavs in zone ➡️ Herro gets Adebayo in postup ➡️ draws help and give back to Herro ➡️ shot fake to avoid close out = pull up 3
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
Double drag = P&R with two screens ➡️ the goal here first to switch Jerome = missmatch then Butler slip the screen.
Herro drives to the basket with the and one.
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
Almost the same action as at the beginning with the pin down on Butler ➡️ this time Merill 'top lock' gets in front of Butler ➡️ counter move is the cut backdoor ➡️ Herro saw everything ➡️ bounce pass to get him = dunk
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
It starts with Butler as the ball handler then Herro attacking from the wing Sam Merill ➡️ attracts Allen's help and can get Highsmith in the corner
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
Still the same game plan on the Heat side ➡️ we target Garland with Herro as a ball handler ➡️ this time drives to the basket and finishes with a layup.
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
Great play call from Miami here ➡️ set beween Butler and Robinson ➡️ then reversal weak side on Adebayo and very good screen (like a 'Hammer screen' reversed) from Highsmith to release Herro to 3 and use his qualities as a shooter.
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
Herro targets Darius Garland ➡️ this time isolating and gets his floater once in the paint.

It's new this year to have Herro in missmatch attack mode.
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
Classic Tyler Herro ➡️ uses his pull-up strength.
The Cavs in drop ➡️ empty corner to make helps more difficult ➡️ after Bryant's screen he has a large pocket to arm his shot.
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
I really like this action from Herro ➡️ the action becomes stagnant ➡️ good cut from him on the weak side ➡️ Mobley switch on him ➡️ he draws him away from the basket and get Jaquez who cuts behind Levert.
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
Zoom action which gives nothing then followed by a 'Split action' ➡️ Mobley defends Butler who is the ball handler so Mobley does not defend the rim = Butler finds Herro near the rim and gets the 2 LF.
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
Decoy screen from Love to occupy the defense ➡️ then 'Pin down screen' from Highsmith to Butler ➡️ We see Niang telling Levert to switch but Butler saw everything and at the last time cut back door ➡️ very good pass from Herro = dunk
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
Cavs going to zone.

Entry pass from Herro who gets Butler in the middle = weak point of the zone ➡️ the defense collapses to Butler ➡️ very good cut from Highsmith in the back of the defense ➡️ pass to Adebayo alone for the dunk
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
First a screen from Highsmith to target Garland Herro rejects the next screen ➡️ good read on drive & kick and pass to Highsmith open in the corner
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
To start a simple P&R with Bam to attack Allen's drop ➡️ he waits until he has touched the paint and forces Allen to 'late swith' on him to get Bam = floater in the paint
December 10, 2024 at 12:05 PM
I think when Nick Nurse shows "4" it's the signal for the Sixers to go Zone on defense
