The Hornets are locked in an early-season battle with the Warriors, winners of seven straight games. The teams have been trading blows for more than 47 minutes, with the lead changing hands 25 times. With 45 seconds to go, the score is tied at 102.
Charlotte has possession side out, and LaMelo Ball throws an inbounds pass to Miles Bridges, who quickly fakes a handoff to Ball, turns around and finds himself matched up with one of the greatest defenders in NBA history: Draymond Green.
Both products of the state of Michigan—Bridges from Flint, Green from Saginaw—the two players have long known each other, with Green taking a big-brother role in Bridges’s life when the latter was a sophomore in high school.
