About this play
The first counter off the downscreen. When the screener's defender trails him tightly over the downscreen, the screener curls into the lane for a layup or short jumper instead of popping to the slot. The cutter reads the defender's hips: trail means curl. The curl is one of the pin-down reads I wrote up in the Elite Hoops screen guide on the site; go there if you want all four reads animated.
