art 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 third quarter is where it broke open — bridges 1' running layup (8 pts) (hart 3 ast) (+8.0). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
The fourth was control. Hart closed at +10.4 without needing a final flourish to get there.
