The team was having a shootaround before their game against the Portland Trail Blazers when Lam shot his shot.

You could see Jordan Poole and Juan Toscano-Anderson celebrating it all -- just absolutely stoked for Lam.
The Blazers host the Warriors Wednesday as they try to slow down Steph Curry, who is averaging 29.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game heading into the matchup. But you’re also going to be able to see the duel between Steph and Damian Lillard, which tends to be must-see TV.

Let’s just hope Lam doesn’t take too much of the spotlight away.
