“On this play, the scoring player receives the ball beyond the three-point line and he immediately drives to the basket and scores the layup upon receipt of the pass. An assist is credited to #11 in the white uniform, Trae Young, since the player who scored received the pass and demonstrated an immediate reaction toward the basket. An assist is credited to the player tossing the last pass leading directly to a made field goal, but only if the player scoring the goal demonstrates an immediate reaction toward the basket after receiving the pass. Note also that an inbound pass can be credited as an assist if it leads directly to a field goal. By rule, no more than one assist can be credited for each field goal.”
