PLAYER PERFORMANCE
San Antonio Spurs

He managed to overcome a spotty shooting night by leaning into his role as a gritty facilitator.
A terrifying offensive avalanche fueled a massive Box score (+21.4), as he earned a massive shot-making bonus by torching the nets from beyond the arc. While his Total Impact (+11.6) was slightly muted by a lack of dominant rebounding (Hustle: +0.0) and potential turnover costs, his sheer scoring gravity dictated the entire flow of the game.

Elite defensive metrics (+7.5) completely salvaged his low-volume offensive night, driving a positive Total Impact (+2.4).
