They hired Chris Finch away from Denver, and plan to mimic how the Nuggets ran their offense through Nikola Jokic. Cousins and Davis will handle the ball up high, while the other four players screen for one another. Gentry might even stick one of the bigs in the corner in Rick Adelman-style sets, and have Holiday screen for him there. "Deal with that," Gentry said.

Cool segment from @ZachLowe_NBA about sticking a big in the corner and going from there. We saw Pels do this vs the Spurs last year.

In the first quarter, Pels scored 6/7 times when using this corner split action (thanks @JamelleMac for the terminology)

This is all of the corner split action from that first quarter. Was nearly unguardable for this stretch.
