Fast Break.
A play in which a team gains possession - through a steal or a defensive rebound - and then pushes the ball downcourt quickly with an outlet pass toward midcourt to the waiting teammates,
hoping to get a good shot off before
the other team has a chance to get back and set up on defense. Usually, a fast break entails that the offense outnumbers the defense by at least a one-man advantage.
Also called the run-and-shoot offense or run-and-gun offense.
