laxton 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 — claxton 6' driving hook shot (2 pts) (+2.0). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
By the time he checked out for good, Claxton's line read -1.4 — earned, not held.
