The most trite truism in sports is that on any given day, anything can happen. That certainty of uncertainty, that feeling of infinite possibility, that notion of unexpected individual and team achievement, that is what keeps us watching games year-round. The record will show that on a random Wednesday night in October 2018, against a potent Eastern Conference opponent in the Washington Wizards, Stephen Curry had the third-highest scoring night of his illustrious career. The box score will indicate that Curry dropped in 11 triples on 16 attempts, made all 10 of his free throws, added 4 rebounds, and threw in 3 assists for good measure; moreover, it will reveal that all of this happened in 3 quarters and 32 minutes of game time.
