With 1:28 left in the third quarter of the San Antonio Spurs 119-98 drubbing of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Spurs ran an out of bounds play that is worth another look. The play featured a weave directly off the inbounds pass as well as a nasty back screen from 39-year-old Manu Ginobili to set up an eventual Manu 3-pointer. The two actions had something in common: screening to get open. Often times the screener will be wide open as defenses try to stop the ball handler, and the Spurs do a great job of recognizing this while keeping the ball moving.
