Don’t waste the chance to run a set basketball play out of a sideline inbound pass. You should either be looking to score the basketball right off of the inbound pass or be getting right into your offensive set. This is just one of the rockets normal basketball plays, but it is executed well out of the sideline inbound play. Great teams are able to execute and get the shot that they want to get.
