Triangle Offense Top of Key Series - How the Bulls Countered Elite Defenses

When Phil Jackson talks about the Triangle Offense, he refers to the "2 pass", which is the second pass of the offense. Depending on where the 2 pass goes, different offensive actions will be triggered.

This video focuses on the 2 pass going to the top of the key, and there are a wide array of possible actions, even from just that option. We take a look at the 20 times the Bulls made this pass in Game 1 of the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, where the Bulls defeated the Indiana Pacers and Reggie Miller.

From isolations to flare screens, this offense has everything necessary to punish a defense - no matter what the defense is doing. It's a symphony of basketball players all being on the same page, and working together to achieve the common goal of winning.

Michael Jordan was the greatest player in the NBA for years before he finally won a championship, so it's worth looking into the offense that helped him reach that point, in depth.
