An inside look at the XsOs of one of the WNBA’s most exciting teams, the Las Vegas Aces, to kick off the season which begins on May 24.

Full Series: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

The Las Vegas Aces use a core set of Baseline Out of Bounds (BLOB) and Sideline Out of Bounds (SLOB) plays that allow their face up post players and slashers to get to the rim. These plays are designed to mirror their half court offense and create advantages for their best players. Take a look at two examples below.

Visit Part 2 and Part 3 of this series to see how the BLOBs and SLOBs fit into Las Vegas Aces head coach Bill Laimbeer’s philosophy of using the pinch post and multiple screens along the baseline to create advantages and, more importantly, space to operate.
