What does a “chase down block” stand for?
A chase down block occurs in basketball when a defensive player, who is trailing an offensive player who has run ahead of the defense, catches up and blocks their shot or dunk attempt from behind. A chase down block usually occurs when the offensive player is on a fast break and a defensive player catches up to get the block.
Example of how Chase-Down Block is used in commentary: Curry steals the ball and appears to have an easy layup, but it’s James who makes up ground and smashes the ball off the backboard for the chase down block.
