He had a disastrous third quarter, no doubt. But the narrative he didn’t play well until the end doesn’t quite match reality.

He didn't light the world on fire, but he was solid in that first half. Made some big plays, including with his legs. Scored 10 points on a great defense. 3rd quarter into early 4th quarter was
horrible. Last 8 minutes was very clutch.
