The last Spurs Playbook post examined the differences between the Motion Offense and the Read and React. The Spurs motion offense features multiple layers of Read and React, but ultimately the players have the ability to read defenses and attack accordingly. Two tenets of the Motion Offense are correct floor spacing and ball movement, and both apply to the transition game. During Tuesday night's 88-86 victory over the Utah Jazz, the Spurs had a textbook transition play where all five players touched the ball. As you watch, notice the player spacing, ball movement, and absence of dribbling.
