Whenever you can get into the paint and get the defense to suck in good to help things usually happen. There are different ways to do this, but for this basketball play, you are going to use the loop action which allows the guard to run off multiple screens. If the defender is chasing on the screen, then the cutter is going to curl on the screen get in the paint, and look to score or find a teammate. The cutter must first set their defender up, and then come full speed off of the screen.
