It’s been a rough go for Nick Nurse when it comes to coach’s challenges. The ability to video review a foul is meant to help coach’s straighten out missed or phantom called, for Nurse and the Toronto Raptors, his 0-for-6 record at coach’s challenges it has done NONE of that.
Well, up until Sunday at least.
With the Raps visiting the Los Angeles Lakers, the stakes were feeling a little extra high. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the presence of former teammate Danny Green all contributed to the intensity, but the game brought one of the more light-hearted moments of the season.
After Siakam was called for a foul after getting his hand on a LeBron James attempt, Nurse had other ideas. He challenged the play and sure enough he won! The moment was so nice he decided to give all his assistants and even a Lakers fan a hug.
Jack Armstrong and Matt Devlin were feeling the love as well, as you hear them hugging each other off-cam.
Awwwwweeeeeeeeeeeee :) :) :)
Nick Nurse is the best.
