With 11 seconds left in last night’s game against the Miami Heat, Washington Wizards forward Kelly Oubre took the ball from the referee and began looking for John Wall. The Wizards trailed 104-103 at the time, but with 11 seconds to score and with the ball in John Wall’s hands, everyone in the stadium, including Phil Chenier, via the ComcastSportsNet broadcast, was optimistic that the Wizards could pull off a game-winning final play: “We’ve seen Washington execute plays in this same type of situation.”
Oubre took the ball and Wall immediately cut towards the center of the court to throw his defender Josh Richardson off the scent, and then ran towards Oubre expecting the pass.
