Needless to say, the pace of the match bordered on the ridiculous, producing 209 field-goal attempts through 53 minutes of play all told. And of the aggregate, 33 were his. Still, no complaints came from head coach Kenny Atkinson or from teammates only too willing to take in the spectacle unfolding right before their eyes.
