Pass and cut
A give-and-go is a play in basketball and other team sports where a player passes to a teammate and immediately cuts toward the goal to receive a return pass, exploiting the momentary distraction of defenders.
The maneuver relies on quick execution and timing between two players.
She executed a perfect give-and-go to get past her defender for the layup.
The term also applies figuratively to any cooperative exchange requiring swift back-and-forth coordination.
