No professional team obscures a save … (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
lay aside
'save' is the definition.
('lay aside' can be a synonym of 'save')
'no professional team obscures a' is the wordplay.
'no professional' becomes 'lay'.
'team' becomes 'side' (I've seen this before).
'obscures' is an insertion indicator (hides by surrounding with).
'lay'+'side'='layside'
'layside' going around 'a' is 'LAY ASIDE'.
(Other definitions for lay aside that I've seen before include "Abandon - save for later" , "reserve" , "Discard - put by for future use" , "Abandon - store for future" , "give up!" .)
