Call Cross Set when you want to collapse the defense before attacking the perimeter. Your 3 returns the ball to 1, then immediately clears to the corner while your bigs relocate — 4 pops to the top and 5 dives to the left block — flooding the paint and pulling defenders in three directions. Read the first open window as the movement finishes.
