finish rebound goes to Lassiter Cruz

attacks the close out short stab is

goodone is defending him Manu imano is

just a tremendously good outside threat

that he can score off it 6 out of 12

from the three-point area and the worst

part is of course sandard has sacrific

his offense by just playing up defense
