The advantage of running Zoom Action at the elbow is the multiple offensive options if the primary action breaks down.
The play was designed for Murray (#27 in white) to attack downhill off a handoff from Jokic (#15 in white), but Dort (#5 in black) plays excellent deny defense, preventing Murray from getting the ball. The secondary action for Porter Jr. (#1 in white) also breaks down as Dort disrupts the pass.
With both options covered, Jokic puts the ball on the floor and takes his defender to the rim. Starting from the elbow gave him a natural advantage, allowing him to get closer to the basket. In just seconds, Zoom Action created three strong offensive options, showcasing its versatility and ability to keep defenses off balance.
