WASHINGTON – It wasn’t the kind of shot that Wizards rookie Carlton Carrington had been practicing.
At least he better not be.
Midway through the first half, the No. 14 overall pick from Pittsburgh split the Bulls defense and had a clear path for an easy basket. One problem: The basketball had other ideas. The ball slipped as Carrington was going up and he actually flung the ball into the shot clock propped on top of the backboard.
Nothing but LED lights.
Carrington leaned his head on the padding of the support in embarrassment.
