onnaughton 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 took a real dent — holland ii 26' 3pt jump shot (13 pts) (sasser 1 ast) (-0.5). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
The fourth was control. Connaughton closed at -0.5 without needing a final flourish to get there.
