Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter completely fell asleep on defense and lost his man in embarrassing fashion during the final seconds of Tuesday night's game in Chicago.
Porter was guarding Bulls forward Tony Snell in the corner on a Bulls offensive possesion with the Bulls up by three with under 20 seconds left. As Porter was intently watching Bulls guard Aaron Brooks wind down the clock, Snell made his move and wrapped around to the other wing. Porter was so focused on Brooks that by the time he realized he lost his man, he was caught in no-man's land as Snell had set himself up for a three-point attempt.
Snell missed the shot, but the Wizards were called for a foul on Pau Gasol, whose foul shots put the game away for the Bulls. With plays like this, it's no wonder how the Wizards have lost 12 of their last 15 games.
