He played 3 on 3 like it was a regular season overtime.
It’s also his second shift 3 on 3 in a minute and a half. Some may read it as lazy. A lot of that is energy. Part of what you live and die with on 3-on-3.

That to me is an indictment of our second wave of depth. This Canadian team had maybe the best top end I’ve ever seen, but the depth fell off a cliff.
