Basketball Play Miami Animation

Defenses are accustomed to seeing a perimeter player curl around a post player inside, but having a post player come outside and curl around a perimeter player is not so familiar.

"Miami" vs man-to-man defense

Start with O4 at the block (diagram A) and O5 in the short corner on the same side. O3 v-cuts and gets the pass from O1. O3 dribbles toward the top even with the left lane line extended, while O1 cuts outside of O3 to the left wing. O2 steps inside the 3-point arc and O4 comes up and curls around O2, looking for the pass from O3 and a lay-up or shot in the paint. If the defense switches the curl cut, O4 should have a size advantage over the smaller X2 defender. After O4 curls, O2 pops back out to the wing.
