Houston Rockets: High Post Entry Pin Down Flare Screen Basketball Play (10-11)

Being able to have screening action happen on both sides of the floor at the same time is good basketball offense. This makes it very hard for the defense to be able to help on each screen. The defense gets focused on the pin down screen and then for the flare screen they are out of position to help. This basketball play will only work if the offense is run with purpose and the pin down action is sold.

Play Goal: Get a catch in the high post and try to get an open shot off of the pin down screen or the flare screen.

Play Tips: Set good solid screens and read the defense. If the screener’s man helps too much the screener should flash to the basket for a bucket.
