The action begins with the ball handler passing to one of the bigs at the elbow. Immediately after the pass, the ball handler cuts down through the middle of the lane to set a flex screen for the player stationed in the weakside corner.

That corner player uses the screen to make a hard flex cut across the baseline, looking to catch the pass near the ball-side block for a quick layup or post finish.

Simultaneously, as the flex screen is being set, the big on the opposite elbow sets a down screen for the original ball handler, who curls or pops up to the top of the key.
