- To break down your defender:

- If a defender is crowding you, create space with the triple-threat step-over and jab-step.
- If a defender is slow, sprint around or past him
- Anticipate what the defense will do, e.g. if a defender is going for the steal in the open court, counter with a behind the back move or crossover.
