Score: 98–49 | 4th Quarter
The arena lights burned hot. The crowd hummed with restless anticipation — caught between awe and sympathy.
Jamie Lin clapped for the ball.
Fox inbounded quickly — a bounce to Jamie — and immediately, Jamie snapped a pass to Darnell.
"CORNER!!" Jamie barked, voice sharp, commanding.
Darnell Fox caught the pass near the wing.
Sweat matted his short hair to his forehead.
His eyes bloodshot from frustration flicked to the left corner, where Jamie was already sprinting into position.
(Corner play… Is this gonna work now, Jamie?)
He passed it back.
Jamie caught the ball and took a hard dribble baseline.
Lucas shadowed him instantly.
Quick steps. Reading hips.
But Jamie wasn't trying to break past not yet.
He kicked it back to Darnell.
Then cut.
Fast.
Like a blur.
A give-and-go?
No Ethan switched.
Too fast.
Jamie stopped short.
Pivoted.
Lucas adjusted eyes flicking to Jamie's footwork.
