This is the sixth edition of our Atlanta Hawks playbook series. This time around, we are going to start to look at more plays that involve off-the-ball screens. We will focus on the interactions between bigs and wings operating together off of the ball.
As we dig in, you will notice that reads, timing and rhythm can often be more important in this action than actually getting a defensive player physically dislodged from the player he is defending.
This is simple action the Hawks are able to use as Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore occupy space on the strong side of the offensive formation.
