How the Mavericks use the pick-and-roll to attack the Clippers

As complex as the Mavericks offense looks at times, the simple pick-and-roll has been the bread-and-butter of this historically good system.

During the regular season, they ran the pick-and-roll on 20.4 percent of their possessions. The incredible finishing ability of Luka Doncic combined with screen-setters who have the ability to fade and knock down threes led them to a second-best 0.98 points per possession on that play type. Not only did they score a lot, but they did so efficiently. They placed within the top-three of effective field-goal percentage, and-one frequency, and scoring frequency out of the pick-and-roll.
