'Small ball,' Marcus Paige dunk lead win over hapless Clemson

Posted Dec 31, 2015
Score-first forward Isaiah Hicks led a late fastbreak and threaded the needle on a pass to play-making guard Marcus Paige, who elevated for a two-handed slam with a pair of Clemson defenders in close proximity. The 6-foot-2 Paige didn't record an assist for just the fifth time in his four-year career, but he was able to celebrate his third career dunk with an abbreviated chin-up. (Fayetteville Observer)
