The Pacers run a smooth offense under Nate McMillan. One of his strengths as a head coach is catering the sets the offense runs to the strengths of the players on the court. This season has been no different.
One of those plays, or at least an action with many variations, that McMillan frequently uses is called “Curl Down Flare”. There are many iterations and intricacies of this action, but there is one main portion that often leads to buckets, and it is one of the motions the play is named after, the curl down.
The “curl down” is a pin-down screen designed to get Bojan Bogdanovic (or whoever is playing the small forward position – which has been almost entirely Bogey this year) free curling toward the basket.
