“Kevin Porter Jr, that was a good HORSE shot, but you hit it in the wrong basket!”: The guard hilariously hits an impressive trick shot towards the end of the Rockets-Raptors game… in his own basket

While dribbling the clock out during the Rockets-Raptors contest, Kevin Porter Jr unintentionally hit a trick shot in his own basket.

Even though the Raptors-Rockets contest was a pretty one-sided affair, the bout was as action-packed as one expected it to be. Gary Trent Jr erupted for a season-best 42-point performance, Pascal Siakam added 30 points for the Raps, and Kevin Porter Jr had a valiant season-high 30-point performance for the Rockets.

Houston lost the game 139-120 but could’ve very easily prevented the opponent’s 2 points… by not shooting the ball in their own basket.

Here, have a look at the play.

Undoubtedly, these were the easiest 2 points Malachi Flynn has scored in his career.
