iddey didn't have an opening statement so much as a sustained one. He moved the curve by inches in the first quarter — a clean look here, a contested stop there — and let the game come to him.
The fourth quarter is where it broke open — smith 1' cutting dunk shot (10 pts) (giddey 12 ast) (+2.9). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
By the time he checked out for good, Giddey's line read +12.8 — earned, not held.
