OAKLAND – The ball appeared out of reach. But that was not going to stop Jordan Bell from trying.
After all, Bell spent the beginning of his second NBA season struggling to receive playing time. So why not give the Warriors coaching staff something to make them feel happy?
So after forcing a turnover on Portland’s Nik Stauskas, Bell saw the ball bounce toward the baseline. So Bell dove toward the ball before it could go out-of-bounds. The tactic worked.
“I didn’t feel like I had a chance to get the ball. So I just dove,” Bell said.
