Running Net Points · Season 2025-26

Game Story · NOP 126MIN 132 · Sun · Apr 12

Zikarsky built it brick by brick, possession by possession.

Zikarsky Free Throw 1 of 2 (1 PTS) — and where the curve cracked from there.

ikarsky 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 — zikarsky free throw 1 of 2 (1 pts) (+2.0). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.

The fourth was control. Zikarsky closed at -4.4 without needing a final flourish to get there.
