Denver went on a 3+ minute spurt running different actions out of the Point Series, scoring 11 total points.
– Back to back scores in Point Cross
The Nuggets begin this action out of a Horns alignment, using the opposite post as the typical brush to set the cross screen.
– Traditional Point Away, curl & pop for 3
While the curl may not be thrown every time, a hard curl with good pace is critical for success in Point Away. The goal is to confuse the defense for a split second, opening up the pop man for the open shot, or preparing the advantage going into the pick and roll.
– Back to back scores in Point Away Invert (flip who sets the split)
Rather than having the entry passer be the screener in the split, the lifted wing becomes the screener. This is a great counter to teams who have scouted the initial Point Action, keeping the defense honest.
