Moe Wagner's first NBA points send Lakers bench into hysterics
It was a free throw in the fourth quarter of a 30-point game, and yet the Los Angeles Lakers' bench acted as if the shot was a game-winner.
That's because the foul shot gave former Michigan star and Lakers rookie Moritz Wagner the first point of his NBA career. Wagner made the second attempt as well, finishing with 10 points in Sunday's 120-96 win over the visiting Phoenix Suns.
Wagner's points drew a wild reaction from his teammates, especially fellow big men JaVale McGee and Tyson Chandler. The veterans hopped off the bench and jumped in excitement, waving their towels and shouting towards Wagner. LeBron James stood and clapped.
