The CrawsOver Pro-Am game had to be canceled not long after Holmgren’s play on LeBron due to unsafe court conditions because the court was too slippery and players could not keep their grip due to condensation on the hardwood floors

Unbelievable. This was very early on in a relatively noncompetitive game at Crawsover. He was defending a LeBron James drive on the break. https://t.co/dSw3g1dbO1
