Use Head Tap when you want to combine a zipper cut with a ball screen for a quick two-action attack. Your wing zippers up off a lane screen to receive the entry, and the ball handler uses a dribble to set up a side pick-and-roll before the defense can recover. Two actions in quick succession forces the defense to react twice in a short window.
