lay-up
- n a basketball shot made with one hand from a position under or beside the basket (and usually banked off the backboard)
- The team's point guard phenom, 17-year old Ricky Rubio, dazzled the crowd with a no-look pass for a Pau Gasol lay-up, and a behind-the-back shake of Jason Kidd.
- Somehow, in mid-air he shuffled the ball to his left hand and scooped in a flying lay-up.
- He cut again: Steve Goodrich bounced a perfect pass, Lewullis made a tricky lay-up, and the Tigers toppled the defending champs.
