Basketball: Need a Late Three

What are your favorite three point sets close and late? 

Start with the availability heuristic. 

I first think about PORTLAND. 

Horns fosters flexible actions like an elevator screen three. 

Gregg Popovich has an ATO double stagger off of a dribble handoff. 

"Winner" creates multiple options against the 2-3 zone from a SLOB. 

Lagniappe: Sometimes the defense provides charity if you have a shotmaker. Hard bet. 

In this final possession before halftime, Laso chooses in time-out to defend in 2-3 zone on the Bob. Play is broken, but one pass and... nobody commits to ball, 2 players doubt.. Expensive 3 pointer... #CopaDelRey #crazy pic.twitter.com/ICJiOjrShI

Lagniappe 2: It's math. With young players, we won't shoot a high percentage, so we need more and better quality shots. Where they arise -rebounding, reducing turnovers, and better passing.
