Quentin Grimes brings the house down, breaks the Hornets heat with a dagger 3
Quentin Grimes made a big play during Philadelphia The 76ers match against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night.
Grimes entered the fifth year of his NBA career, the second with the 76ers. He has been very productive as a key player in the rotation since Philadelphia acquired him from the Dallas Mavericks last season, giving him a solid role in the offense.
Grimes once again showed his talent in the final seconds of the game. Both teams were tied at 121 apiece with less than 20 seconds left. Tyrese Maxey was in possession of the ball as he fed the rebound to Grimes, who knocked down the key three with full confidence.
