Triple Left uses a two-man screen to free your ball handler for a catch at the elbow and a quick pass to the wing. You push left, 4 and 5 set staggered screens, then you relocate to the free-throw line and hit 3 on the wing — the ball eventually finds 2 or returns to you as the screeners clear to their spots.
