Run Slip when you have a screener who can read a blitzing defense and cut before the screen is fully set. You enter the ball to the wing, send the four to the elbow, and then let your five slip to the rim while the corner fills the vacated space. The defense has to guard two cutters at once and usually gives up one of them.
