Horns Down Flare

Horns without a ball screen: one big pins down for the shooter on his side, the other big flares the far shooter once the ball has gone the other way. Defenders who are used to guarding the elbow pick-and-roll have to chase two shooters through two screens instead.

Also called: horns off-ball, horns twin screens, horns pin and flare
