The play starts in a 1-2-2 formation, with the pivots and the power forward at the free-throw line elbows, and the shooting guard and small forward in the baseline spots. Player 1 dribbles toward 45° on the side of player 2. Players 4 and 5 move down to set a double stack screen for player 3, who will later come out to take a three-point shot from the top of the key. This would be the first scoring opportunity.
