This Boston Celtics sideline inbounds play was contributed by Timothy Hipps to the FastModel Sports Basketball Plays and Drills Library.
This sideline out-of-bounds set provides multiple options while putting a good passing post player in position to make a play.
The initial action creates a short-corner opportunity with a dribble handoff available as another option.
The primary action then uses a fake down screen to get the defense moving and anticipating a perimeter shot.
The cutter rejects the screen and goes backdoor for a layup.
This is what Coach Hipps said about the play:
A nice ATO SLOB set run by the Boston Celtics
Great for a team with post players who can pass out of the post.

1 is on strong side block with 2 at nail.
