Pitch and Side Screen

The point guard pitches the ball ahead to the wing and runs through to the ball-side corner, and the trailing big comes straight into a side ball screen while the defence is still finding its men. The wing turns the corner into the middle, the big rolls, and the corner and weak-side men are spaced so nobody can help without leaving a shooter.
