ilgeous-Alexander 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 second quarter is where it broke open — gilgeous-alexander 25' 3pt step back jump shot (12 pts) (+2.6). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
By the time he checked out for good, Gilgeous-Alexander's line read +15.1 — earned, not held.
