dwards 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 first quarter is where it broke open — edwards 27' 3pt step back jump shot (3 pts) (+2.8). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
The fourth was control. Edwards closed at +9.8 without needing a final flourish to get there.
