A string of heavily contested, low-efficiency jumpers early in the shot clock severely dragged down the offense. Failing to create separation against physical point-of-attack defenders marked a noticeable regression from his recent steady play. The inability to collapse the defense stalled out multiple crucial possessions.

Relentlessly attacking drop coverage completely overwhelmed the point-of-attack defense and carried his massive impact score.
