pick-and-roll
Basketball offensive play
A pick-and-roll is a basketball play where one offensive player sets a screen (the pick) for a teammate handling the ball, then moves toward the basket (the roll) to receive a pass.
The screener's defender must choose between guarding the ball handler or following the roller, creating an advantage either way.
They ran the pick-and-roll to perfection.
The play is fundamental to modern basketball offense.
