Sideline Rockets
 | 1 coachesclipboard.ca A Houston Rockets side-out. 3 fakes down the lane then steps out for the inbounds pass, 1 follows for a handback, 2 steps up the lane, 4 moves into the middle of the lane, 5 moves across and ballscreens for 1, 3 starts towards the baseline after the handback. |
 | 2 1 dribbles to the wing, 3 uses a staggered backscreen from 2 and 4, then 2 comes off a downscreen from 5, who headhunts X2 after the ballscreen for 1. |
 | 3 Puerto Rico runs basically the same play except that 5 gets the inbounds pass and uses the staggered backscreen after the handback. 2 must be prepared to set the screen high in the lane because X5 will likely go high to catch up to 5. Screen-the-screener action can follow, in this case 4 could downscreen for 2 with 3 spacing out to the corner. |
 | 4 Another version is to have 2 move out to the corner instead of setting a second backscreen, 4 downscreens for 3 after the ballscreen. This creates less traffic in the lane and gives 4 a chance to slip the screen or post up (there is no help defender who can sag into the lane)..
