The ACB League is one of the most prestigious professional basketball leagues in Europe. Ran in Spain, it uses FIBA rules for their league. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid have been historically the most successful teams.
Their playoff finals have been taking place this month, almost simultaneously with the NBA Finals. FC Barcelona ran this end of shot clock play recently in their playoff run. This uses a basic double high ball screen principle, but the timing and the details make it particularly effective.
