A moment of confusion led to one of the easiest baskets Cody Zeller will probably score in his NBA career.
During the second quarter of Saturday’s game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Charlotte Hornets, the Bucks called a timeout after Zeller shot the first of two free-throws. Coming out of the timeout, officials, apparently forgetting Zeller already shot one free-throw, indicated Zeller had two shots. After shooting the second free-throw, Bucks players stood around as they would following the first of two free-throws. An alert Zeller, knowing it was actually the second free-throw, stole the ball from an unsuspecting Giannis Antetokounmpo and dunked it.

The look on the face of Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer says it all about how confused seemingly everyone was. Thankfully for the Hornets, Zeller was aware of the situation.
