Run Point Away to clear the lane and attack off a dribble handoff or drive. You send 4 to the corner to remove his defender, then your guard drives, and 1 sets a screen before sliding into the lane for a layup or dump-off. It's a simple two-action play that creates a driving lane and a screener-roll opportunity in one motion.
