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 first quarter is where it broke open — williams free throw 1 of 2 (3 pts) (+2.1). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
The fourth was control. Williams closed at -5.1 without needing a final flourish to get there.
