#4. Detroit Pistons – 11/25/2014, Bradley Center
It seems like no team got to feel the brute force of rookie Jabari Parker more often than the Detroit Pistons. On this occasion when the Pistons rolled into the Bradley Center, it was Parker’s versatility and athleticism that left their mark on Detroit.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo leading Milwaukee’s attack towards the basket, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Josh Smith both collapse in to cut him off, and the Greek was forced to drop the ball off to his young partner in crime.
Parker was already preparing to finish it, so when Antetokounmpo found his right hand with the pass, just as he was about to take off, there was need for a split-second re-calibration of the flight path to the rim.
Parker moves the ball from his right hand to his left, before finishing over Josh Smith (again) with an acrobatic off-hand slam.
