Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe did it again versus the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.
A primary catalyst of Portland’s three-game winning streak, Sharpe put up 22 points on 7-of-17 shooting, including some clutch buckets late, in the Blazers’ 115-113 overtime win. However, the play of the game from the rising star came on the defensive end.
With the score tied at 102-102 in the closing seconds of regulation, Memphis 3-point specialist Luke Kennard found himself open in the corner for the game-winning shot. That is until Sharpe covered ground and soared through the air to block Kennard’s attempt into the stands.
