Digital Playbook: Horns Series

In the basic Horns alignment, #2 and #3 set up in the dead corners and #4 and #5 set up in the high post

Horns is an alignment with player-led reads rather than a set play with a pattern

Players read what the defense is giving them and how they're being played

Depending on the read, certain trigger actions are initiated (see below)

If #1 dribbles to enter the ball up the left side of the floor, it initiates the "Horns 77" trigger.

#5 and #4 set a double ball screen for #1

#4 dives to the rim after the pick and roll

#5 pops to the top of the key

If this is not open, flow into Motion

#4 sets a split screen for #5

After the screen, the right side of the floor is open with a double gap

#1 drives the double gap
