There wasn't much for Memphis Grizzlies fans at the FedExForum to be excited about in the waning moments of Friday's 128–104 win over the Washington Wizards. That is, until 5'8" guard Yuki Kawamura checked into the game with 4:39 remaining in the fourth quarter.
And Kawamura didn't wait long to make an impact on the game. With under three minutes remaining, the Yanai, Yamaguchi, Japan, native drove into the lane, then delivered a perfectly timed behind-the-back bounce pass to Grizzlies center Jay Huff, who proceeded to slam the ball home. The crowd at FedExForum was instantly energized by the beautiful assist.
