Run this UCLA-action set play when you need a quick scoring opportunity off a structured look. Your five pops to the wing, one triggers a UCLA cut off a double screen, and three attacks the basket as a trailer — you're creating multiple cutters so the defense can't cover every lane at once. Read the basket cut first, then stay alive with the ball at the free-throw line as your secondary option.
