touch pass
Brief ball relay
A touch pass is a quick pass in sports—especially basketball and hockey—where the player redirects the ball or puck immediately upon receiving it, often with a single touch rather than catching and then throwing.
The move maintains momentum and catches defenders off guard: He caught the inbound and made a touch pass to the open man under the basket.
