The point guard drove the lane and instinctually lobbed the ball to McNeace, his bouncy center.
“That was the first time I did that in a little bit,” Calixte said, knowing McNeace is still recovering from an ankle injury.
“When I get in the paint, I don't have to think about it too much,” Calixte said. “If I see his man help a little bit, I can throw it up and know he'll go get it.”
