Run Maccabi Zipper to trigger a zipper cut and get your five a catch in space above the break. Your two starts the action with a pass to your four, who immediately swings to your five coming off the cut — the quick two-pass sequence gets the ball moving before the defense can reset. Use it in early offense when you want to attack off the catch before help arrives.
