An isolation in basketball is where one player (frequently the point guard or shooting guard) is matched up one on one vs. one player on the opposing team; and the teammates of the player with possession of the ball move out of the way so that the ball handler can make is move and try to score a point.

Isolation in Basketball refers to a situation where an offensive player tries to score against a single defender without help from teammates. It often involves the player dribbling and taking on the defender one-on-one to create scoring opportunities. Isolation plays are common late in close games when teams need a go-to scorer to create a shot.
