This is what Diccon said about the play:

Nice BLOB from Spain Coach Sergio Scariolo.

Staggered screen to inbound the ball, then “gut cut” (similar to a zipper cut but inside) from 1 through a down screen from 5.

On the catch, 5 and 3 enter Spain PNR.

Tough to guard with lots of movement and screening action.

 

3 cuts off back screen from 5.

This cut is to loosen 5’s defender more than to score.

 

 

 

 

5 then turns to set staggered screen with 4 for 2, who curls off to receive pass from 1.

 

 

 

 

 

1 makes gut cut up through paint.

5 sets a down screen to help 1 to receive reversal pass from 2.

4 clears out to wing.

 

 

 

On catch, 5 and 3 set screens for Spain PNR.

2 and 4 fill the corners.

 

 

 

 

5 rolls, 3 pops and 1 makes best decison.

These guard-to-big and big-to-guard screens will create mismatches when defenses switch or open shots when screen defenders “show” on offensive players receiving screens.
