Bronny was unable to complete the highlight (and many thought the refs missed a foul call).
After the game, the former USC guard was asked about the viral play (h/t Bleacher Report).
Bronny: "He's a much bigger guy than me, so I just gotta find a way to get around him somehow. May have got fouled. That's up for argument. It is what it is. I tried to get me a bucket."
"I may have got fouled, that's up for argument."
