1 passes to 4 and flares to the other wing using a screen from 5 (chest to the ball). 3 moves in from the corner. 5 is in a good position to slip the screen if the defence switches because he is on a direct path to the ball.

Option - 4 passes to 5 who passes to 1 (also see Horns 45 Petrovic)

Variation - 1 downscreens to bring 5 up for a pass from 4, 1 flares for a pass from 5 (Horns 45 Wake Forest).

Options if 4 does not pass

- 5 sets a ballscreen (Horns 45 Suns)
- 5 re-screens for 1, back to the ball.

3 backscreens for 4 then uses a downscreen from 5, who then goes to the other low post area. 4 can go over or under the screen.

Option - 5 ballscreens for 3.

The pattern is the same as Horns 1 Argentina, where 1 dribble clears 3.

Variations

- 3 screens away for 2, who backscreens for 4 (Horns 45 Petrovic)
- 5 and 4 both downscreen for 3 (Horns 45 Iran).

Variation - O2 cuts to the ballside corner, O4 fakes using the screens then cuts to the weakside of the rim looking for a lob pass (coachesclipboard.ca)..
