Fast Break

A fast break in basketball is a quick transition from defense to offense, where the team gains an advantage by moving the ball up the court rapidly after a defensive stop or turnover. The goal is to score before the opposing team can set up their defense. It involves fast, coordinated moves, often with players sprinting down the court to create scoring opportunities early in the shot clock. Fast breaks are effective for maximizing scoring chances and exploiting the opposing team's momentary disorganization.
