cCollum 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 — mccollum putback layup (9 pts) (+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, McCollum's line read +7.2 — earned, not held.
