Kendrick Nunn Breaks Down His Incredible Four-Point Play Against Monaco – Panathinaikos

Kendrick Nunn delivered an offensive masterpiece just 24 hours prior in Monaco’s arena (37 points with a perfect 5/5 from beyond the arc), helping Panathinaikos secure victory (88-76) by scoring some ‘big’, difficult, and impressive baskets. In an interview with Euroleague, Nunn dissected the improbable three-pointer plus foul he hit during the 33rd round of the competition, celebrating on the court immediately after achieving it as time was running out for Panathinaikos’ offensive possession. ‘Time was almost up. The ball came back into play, and I approached from behind the arc. I had to find the best shot possible. I moved left to right, then spun back left again. Then I jumped and shot for the three. The defender came from below me—it was a basket and foul. It was a one-on-one situation with my defender; there was a screen, but I’m wired to shoot the ball. I also had excellent vision of the basket. They probably should’ve played a trap against me there, but I rose and made the three-point shot with a foul,’ Nunn initially explained. He further emphasized: ‘It was crucial, a massive basket. It happened in the third quarter when both teams were somewhat flat. This basket and foul significantly shifted the momentum in our favor.’
