As the clock was winding down late in the first half, Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green had the ball in his possession at the top of the key, waiting on teammate Eric Gordon to set a screen to give Green a little more room to operate.
With the shot-clock becoming a factor, Green decides to shoot from the top of the key with the defender sagging off him trying to prevent him from using his lethal first step to get inside the lane. As the shot goes in, you can see the relief on the 19-year-old rookie’s face, who had missed all his attempts from three-point range up to that point.
