The Phoenix Suns had a perfect play lined up for the final 0.6 seconds of their game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Apparently it was one interim head coach Jay Triano had saved up for years.
Here’s a look at the play where Dragan Bender threw an inbound pass right next to the hoop, allowing Tyson Chandler to dunk it in for the win:

Those final two points by Chandler gave Phoenix a 99-97 win, and it made Triano quite proud. After the win, Triano said he has the play saved up for around 15 years:

“I’ve had that for about 15 years … I’ve tried to keep it a secret, and it’s not a secret anymore,” Triano said.
Well done, Triano. And even better execution by Bender and Chandler.
