Just like the rest of the NBA, Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball couldn’t believe De’Aaron Fox’s choke job with the Sacramento Kings on Friday.
Caleb Martin almost drew the ire of the Hornets fanbase after he fouled Fox thinking the Kings were not yet in the bonus. With 2.4 seconds left and Charlotte just ahead by one at 124-123, the win all but seemed certain for Sacramento with their star guard on the line.
Fox was 8-of-8 from the charity stripe at that point, and surely, he won’t miss those shots, right? Well, that was what everyone expected only to be treated to a wild ending.
