Hemorrhaged value through a toxic combination of forced perimeter jumpers and momentum-killing turnovers. He repeatedly tried to shoot his way out of a slump, stalling the offensive engine and allowing the opposition to feast in transition. Despite decent effort on the other end, his offensive friction was simply too costly to overcome.

A sharp uptick in offensive assertiveness was entirely negated by poor ball security and mistimed rotations. He flashed brilliant shot-making ability, but gave the value right back by biting on pump fakes and committing careless fouls. The result was a loud, high-variance performance that ultimately broke even on the margins.

Even a respectable defensive effort couldn't patch the massive holes he blew in the team's offensive execution.
