With 6:13 to go in their conference home opener, the Sun Devils were in trouble.
Down five points, Tra Holder held the ball at the top of the key. 10 seconds were left on the shot clock. Holder eyed his defender Payton Pritchard, patiently waiting to make his move. When he saw the opening, he dribbled right, activated his signature hesitation dribble and drove all the way to meet Roman Sorkin at the rim.
And-one.
The crowd was electric. Things seemed to be back under control, as the inaudible atmosphere at Wells Fargo Arena braced itself for one of the Sun Devils’ signature second runs.
