Playoffs 2000:Pacers playbook for Jalen Rose

Pacers playbook for Jalen Rose
Coach's Edge

Philadelphia avoided the sweep in Game 4 and took Game 5 without Reggie Miller, who was suspended for fighting. So what happens with Reggie out or when he is ineffective. Indiana still has Jalen Rose, and he's proven he can put the Pacers on his shoulders, though he has been up and down in the series.

ANIMATE THIS PLAY DIAGRAM WITH SHOCKWAVE

(A) Without Reggie in the lineup, all the screens he usually receives will be set for Jalen Rose (5) instead. Travis Best (4) begins the action with a pass to Dale Davis (32) at the top of the key. Rose (5) spots up in the strong side corner.

(B) Davis (32) passes back to Best (4) on the weak side and screens down for Rose (5). Add Davis to Mark Jackson (13) down low, and Rose has a staggered double to free him up for three.
