Cole Anthony was not half-assing it in the Rising Stars game.
Desmond Bane was at the free throw line needing one point to hand Anthony, Jalen Suggs and Team Worthy the loss. Anthony, in a game where very little defense was played, then tried doing whatever it took to distract Bane and keep him for hitting the target score of 50...
It was a valiant effort by Anthony, but it wasn’t enough to get the win as Team Worthy fell to Team Isiah, 50-49.
Suggs helped put Team Worthy in position to win, with some highlight-reel dunks and clutch three-point shots, but missed what would have been a game-winning free throw, setting the stage for Bane’e free throws.
