In the process of helping the Toronto Raptors snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, Jordan Nwora, appropriately, turned to his trusted snatch-back dribble. Gifted the green light after a 24-point demonstration just two nights prior, Nwora adjusts his rhythm, pumping the breaks with a crafty pull-back dribble against tight pick-and-roll coverage before connecting on a four-point play. Personifying the term “microwave scorer,” Nwora turned this into a stretch in which he needed just one minute to score nine consecutive points for the Raptors, helping them claw back from a 16-point deficit. Steering the win on January 30, 2024 over the Chicago Bulls, Nwora’s box score looked awfully similar, with 17 points in just 19 minutes of play, alongside two rebounds, one block, and four 3-pointers. · Jan 31, 2024
