Side Out Hit Cutter — frame 1 diagram
5 screens near the lane; 3 screens near the free-throw line; 4 cuts to the free-throw line; 2 passes to 1; 3 cuts to the left low post

Call this when you spot a lazy defender on the weak side at a sideline stop. The screen in the lane frees your big to the elbow while the opposite wing cuts hard to the low post off the ball reversal. Hit the cutter before the help defense can rotate and you get a high-percentage look near the rim.
