Atlanta Hawks guard Cam Reddish finished with only one steal on Monday night against the Orlando Magic but the rookie sure made it count after showing off his strength on one possession in the third quarter.
The play unfolded when Reddish was matched up with Magic guard Evan Fournier in a 1-on-1 situation. As Fournier was waiting on Nikola Vucevic to set a screen, Reddish got his hands on the ball and proceeded to rip it away from Fournier.
The steal by Reddish led to a fastbreak opportunity where the 10th overall pick maneuvered around Fournier to draw contact by Vucevic at the basket. Reddish finished the layup and converted the And-1 attempt by converting the free throw.
