Nikola Jokić is an absolute professional for keeping his composure while literally being poked by Julius Randle hard af on his stomach and back. What an absolute joke of the referees right now.
Kon Knueppel's regular season was amazing.
The Hornets' rookie established himself as one of the best shooters in the league.
Kon made 273 three-pointers and became the first rookie ever to lead the entire NBA in that category.
He was a walking bucket.
But his first taste of high-stakes pressure was a brutal reality check.
In a grueling matchup against the Heat in the Play-In Tournament, the efficiency that made Kon a household name completely vanished.
He finished with 6 points on 2-of-12 shooting, while going a dismal 0-of-6 from deep.
It was a harsh wake-up call for the young star.
Despite his shooting woes, Charlotte pulled out a gutsy victory to advance, giving Kon a much-needed second chance at redemption.
The stage is now set for Kon to flush the bad night.
