Bacot and the Grizzlies defeat Love and the Trail Blazers in NBA Summer League action

It's safe to say that Armando Bacot and Caleb Love competed against each other plenty of times in practice during their time as teammates with the UNC basketball program.

All that hard work has paid off, as the former Tar Heels squared off for the first time in their professional careers on Saturday night in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

Bacot got the upper-hand in this meeting, leading the Memphis Grizzlies to a 96-86 victory over Love and the Portland Trail Blazers.

Similar to what he did a lot during his time in Chapel Hill, Bacot recorded a double-double.
