LAS VEGAS — Georges Niang kneeled on the left corner of the floor at Vivint Arena, resting his hands on his knees after a timeout.
With the Utah Jazz holding a comfortable 23-point edge with less than 10 minutes left in regulation, San Antonio Spurs center Amida Brimah made his way over to defend Niang during a Utah Jazz Summer League game on Monday.
“You better not come over here,” Niang told Brimah. “It’s about to be a long day for you.”
“Don’t do that to me,” Brimah responded, smirking.
Niang would end with 17 points and four rebounds as the Jazz won that July 2 game, 92-76.
