Out of bounds plays against zones are always a great time to attack with little pressure. Usually a zone does not contain much ball pressure and allows players to move freely with little to no contact to cut and set screens. The play below is a set used against a 2-3 zone that gives the inbounder multiple entry passes not only to get the ball inbounds, but to put the receiving player in position to score.

Play begins in a box set with P3 cutting to the opposite corner off of a screen by P5. At this same time, P1 is curling off of a screen set by P4 to the strong side corner to receive a pass for a spot up three pointer. P5 is also an option with the slip to the basket.
