About this play
Screen-the-screener for a three: 1 uses 4's screen as a decoy, then 5 flare-screens 4 to the weak wing for a skip pass. Needs a 4 who can shoot. The Spurs scored Danny Green's corner three in the 2014 Finals on this action. Counters: if the defense top-locks the flare, 4 slips to the rim; if they switch it, 5 slips. Coach Daniel's film of the 76ers and Heat running Horns Flare taught me the timing, and I wrote the flare screen itself up in the Elite Hoops screen guide on the site; both take you deeper.
