This is an idea for a play when you need a three point shot late in a game. Even if you don't like this play, it is a great idea to have a play that you save for "crunch time" that you don't run at any other times, but that you know you have to go to when you need it.

#3 and #2 curl off of five and 4. Depending on the situation, #3 can continue the curl beyond the three point arc. Depending on the situation, and your personnel, you can have #5 turn and flare screen for #4 to get him or her to the arc. The diagram is not drawn as well as I would like, #4 should be spotting up on the arc unless moving off the arc is the only way to get the shot off.
