During his young NBA career, rookie Paul Zipser has learned to stay ready.
And on Thursday night, with the Bulls clinging to a narrow lead against the Warriors in the final minutes, Zipser was ready. And he buried the biggest shot of his career.
Cristiano Felicio had picked up his dribble just moments earlier, but the Brazilian center was able to pass over a double team from Steph Curry, who had left Zipser alone on the right win. Zipser, who had missed his only other 3-point attempt that night, caught Felicio's pass and shot over closing wings in Andre Iguodala and Matt Barnes as the shot clock expired.
