runson didn't wait for the game to come to him. The first quarter alone moved the curve into double digits, and from there the question became whether the rest of the night could keep up.
The first quarter is where it broke open — brunson 25' 3pt pullup jump shot (11 pts) (+2.7). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
The fourth was control. Brunson closed at +10.2 without needing a final flourish to get there.
