Keldon Johnson’s Defense Sparks Comeback Victory in McDonald’s All-American Game

Keldon Johnson’s shot did not fall, but it did not stop him from sparking a come-from-behind 131-128 victory for the West in the 41st annual McDonald’s All-American Game.

Down six in the final two minutes, Johnson could not rely on his shot to get his team back in the game. After missing his first three attempts from behind the three-point line, he set the part of his game aside and relied on his energy to spark his team.

Johnson made three game-changing plays in the final two minutes in the West’s late run. Down four, he took a charge on the baseline to cause a turnover.
