At the beginning of the fourth quarter, with the Nets hopes slip, slip, slipping away, Cory Jefferson, who has yet to hit a three pointer this season, launched one from just outside the arc. It fell well short of the basket, a fitting symbol of the Nets second half ineptitude. The Bulls crowd reacted as expected.
After the game, Jefferson tried to explain what happened.
it slipped y'all #PopcornHands #

Many fans and players as well offered their comments. John Henson of the Bucks probably had the best.

But a fan suggested another approach.
@CoryJay34 Don't ever shoot again.

Jefferson later had a nice breakaway dunk.
