Attack!

Watching two games tonight, Bulls @ Toronto and UNC vs. UNC-Central and the keyword of the night is attack.

The Bulls got out to an 11 point lead throughout much of the third quarter and then stopped attacking the rim. Settling for jumper after jumper and eventually going cold losing by close to double digits.

During the first half of the collegiate game, UNC is in constant attack mode. Once the ball is secure all 5 white jerseys are flying up the floor and the ball is penetrating the paint. Currently UNC is on a 19-0 run. Granted UNC-Central is only in its third year of being a D1 school and is greatly outclassed, UNC is attacking, forcing help and then kicking for open looks.

Jump shots are a great avenue to attack, but making the ball move and therefore the defense move is the key to getting a wide open look.
