Tyler Ulis finds fellow Suns rookie Marquese Chriss for violent cram on Nets

These are the little things we crave watching a battle of NBA bottom-dwellers.
Visiting the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night, the Phoenix Suns and their already short roster got a little shorter when T.J. Warren was ruled out prior to the game with a foot contusion.
But the players they did have available — Devin Booker, Tyler Ulis, Derrick Jones Jr., Marquese Chriss and Alex Len — know each other well. That showed on one fastbreak early on.

Ulis tossed a no-look lob to a streaking Chriss for a two-handed slam. Making it even more vicious, Nets forward Quincy Acy, not a bad athlete himself, decided to jump.
Perhaps the best part of this, with respect to the slam and the no-look pass, comes in the slow-mo replay above, where a fan in a white shirt behind the basketball seems to be saying, “OH NO!”
As in, “Don’t jump, Quincy!”
Here’s another look with a better angle on Ulis’ nonchalant lob.
