Across his first 6 szns, Deandre Ayton shot 76% from the line on 859 att. Over the last 2 szns, he’s down to 65% on 200 att. We’ve seen FT drop-offs before, but seeing a big whose game is built on touch & finesse, and who still has it, become a flat-out bad FT shooter is strange

Hornets have been looking to fill that sixth-man combo G scorer role for a while – have gone through several players of that archetype – and it sure looks like they finally found their guy in Coby. extra dope bc he's a NC kid (state's all-time leading HS scorer)

Coby White playing in NC just feels right. 14 pts in the 3rd on 5/5 FG (4/4 3PT, 11-0 run by himself to close the quarter😮‍💨

COBY WHITE DOES NOT WANT TO GO HOME OMG

Man, oh man. That might be the greatest play-in game we've seen yet. Incredible performances on both sides, unbelievable clutch-time shots. Have to give credit to LaMelo for overcoming the errors he made. Some big time drives when the Hornets needed him most in OT

This is amazing. PLEASE come through San Antonio fans

receipts have been kept all season & this is where i’ve landed for my awards!! might do all-nba / all-defensive / all-rookie teams later but for now, enjoy who i’ve landed on for the regular season awards — thread below!

CJ McCollum is nails, oh my god. Boos rained down everytime he touched the ball throughout the 3rd and 4th and now he's been the go-to guy for the Hawks, leading their comeback. What a fun watch this team is

Then went 0-2 at the line in the biggest moment of the game... Atlanta walks away, barely. Can't wait for Game 3

Did VJ just wink at the camera after hitting the game-sealing dagger 😭

Robert Williams III is the greatest basketball player ever
