Los Angeles Sparks – Winner 2.0
Doug’s comments: The Sparks took the popular “Winner” SLOB set and added a zipper action at the beginning, as well as a down screen at the end. It is a tremendous design, which resulted in an open three late in the game.
4 sets pin down for 1 on zipper cut
2 flare screens 4 to opposite baseline
3 throws skip pass to 4
5 sets screen for 1
1 has a shot OR…
5 sets a down screen for 2
3 spaces to corner
Phoenix Mercury – Zipper Pistol Flare SLOB
Doug’s comments: The Mercury ran this ATO to get Diana Taurasi an open three. There are multiple options, as the zipper cut turns into Pistol Action, and ends with a weak side flare screen for the inbounder.
