Miami Heat rookie Kendrick Nunn continues to prove that his surprising start to the 2019-20 NBA regular season is not a fluke, as he continues to make big time plays for coach Erik Spoelstra.
The 24-year-old undrafted guard showed some veteran poise against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center. With Miami up 96-83 around the seven minute mark of the final canto, Nunn made sure the bank was open as he drained a shot-clock beating trey over the outstretched hands of Tobias Harris.

After Al Horford rejected Bam Adebayo's floater, Adebayo managed to recover the ball back and quickly dished it to Nunn. Without much time to set his shot, Nunn simply put up a left-handed heave that managed to go in, extending their lead 16 points.
Philly made a run for it in the end game but the Heat managed to hang on, 108-104. Nunn had another prolific outing of 26 points, four rebounds, and five assists in 41 minutes.
