Double Back Cut

1 passes to 2 on the wing and then cuts around 5 to the corner. The ball is reversed to the left side of the floor. 3 makes a cut to the rim and as 4 dribbles middle 2 makes a back cut to the rim. If 2 isn’t open, 4 keeps dribbling as 1 makes a back cut into the lane to screen for 5. 4 can pass directly into 5 or pass to 3 in the corner.
