Barajas just needed to hit one shot from deep, while Lillard was tasked with hitting three three -point logos. Given that he was a screwdriver, Barajas threw one while sounding sound, and the multi -colored ball passed through the hoop.
The ball knocked down the back plate before entering, and as the expression goes, the bank was open. And he fulfilled Barajas’s own bank account in the process.
“It was down to the wire, we had 30 seconds left, and my father always tells me,” Use the back board, “Barajas explained.” I had to do that to come in. “
