What Sparked the Showdown: Unraveling the James vs. Handy Drama

During halftime, with only a few seconds remaining, James grabbed the ball after a Minnesota free throw and attempted to pass it to Avery Bradley. However, Bradley was distracted because Handy was talking to him. Consequently, James passed the ball to Trevor Ariza, who failed to make a buzzer-beater.

The missed shot frustrated the 20-time NBA All-Star, who expressed his anger to Handy for distracting the players before halftime. James delivered several outstanding performances during that season. The four-time NBA champion averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 56 games in the 2021-22 season.
