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.
