illiams 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 third quarter is where it broke open — williams 25' 3pt running pull-up jump shot (4 pts) (johnson 2 ast) (+2.3). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
The fourth was control. Williams closed at -7.4 without needing a final flourish to get there.
