This is a Zipper Series, Iverson, the Spurs ran to start Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The play is designed to put Tony Parker in a weak side P&R with the option to use or ignore the screen (hammer option).In this particular rendition, Parker is overplayed by his defender. Leonard sees this and attacks open space setting off a triangle like passing sequence to Green for an open jump shot.
1 dribbles strong. 3 runs a zipper up the gut. 1 passes to 3 and then runs an Iverson cut across the FT line over staggered screens set by 4 & 5. 3 dribbles weak with 1 looking to pass to 1 who would then initiate a side pick & roll. Meanwhile Green, 2, cuts across the baseline to the opposite corner. Parker is overplayed and Leonard sees a driving lane so instead attacks. 4 rolls high and 5 drops into the post. 2 moves to the wing. 3 passes to 4 who passes to 2 for a jump shot.
