cDermott opened cold. A quiet first quarter and a couple of dents on defense had the curve trailing zero before the bench even rotated.
The second quarter is where it broke open — mcdermott 28' 3pt pullup jump shot (3 pts) (achiuwa 3 ast) (+2.1). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
The fourth was control. McDermott closed at -7.8 without needing a final flourish to get there.
