Block Pin Down — frame 1 diagram
5 screens near the right low post; 2 cuts to the right wing

Run Block Pin Down to get your big man a clean catch in the low post off a pin-down screen. Your five sets up on the right block and uses the screen to seal his defender and receive the entry pass in a strong position. Call it when your post player has a size or leverage advantage and you want to put the ball in his hands without fighting through a crowd.
