ohnson 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 took a real dent — edwards free throw 2 of 2 (20 pts) (-2.4). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
By the time he checked out for good, Johnson's line read +11.9 — earned, not held.
