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 pullup jump shot (8 pts) (+3.0). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
By the time he checked out for good, Edwards's line read +14.6 — earned, not held.
