Point Over Read uses your guard's multiple screens to free a shooter coming over the top, then feeds into a two-man action with your big. You screen, relocate, and read whether 4 or 5 is open as the pass cycles to the strong side. Call it when the defense is going under screens — the over cut and the big's slip give you two answers.
