Flashbulb: Schröder takes charge

With the clock ticking down Tuesday and a 24-point lead lost, the Oklahoma City Thunder had one task: stop Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine.

LaVine, who ended up finishing the game with 41 points, was trying to drive down the court and steal a win from the surging Thunder, but a relentless force got in his way. Enter Thunder guard Dennis Schröder.

Schröder met LaVine at the Bulls logo and started face guarding him for the duration of the Bulls possession. Schröder used a combination of poise, quick feet and athleticism to pressure LaVine the entire drive and eventually draw a charge on him to swing momentum back to Oklahoma City.
