Golden State Warriors center Jordan Bell, who was able to deflect Dwyane Wade's first shot attempt, knew that the Miami Heat legend's second attempt would go in.
Per Mark Medina of the Mercury News, Bell commented on Wade's heroics.

Sure enough, credit should be given to Jordan Bell who was literally all over the place. Initially, Dwyane Wade thought of driving to the hoop but Bell quickly rotated to clog the paint.
When Wade kicked it out to Dion Waiters who was moving around the 3-point line, Bell — as if he knew what the play was — quickly ran to Waiters to challenge a potential jump shot. Waiters couldn't get a clear look and passed the ball back to Wade.
Again, Jordan Bell was right there ready to contest. He was basically there every step of the way. But as luck would have it, Wade — all 37-years-old of him — had the presence of mind to toss the ball up while keeping one foot behind the 3-point line. He wasn't bothered that Bell was able to deflect his first shot attempt.

In the end, Wade finished the night with 25 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks in 26 minutes. More importantly, his team won the game. Do you think that Wade can play at least another season?
