Skal Labissiere has been the difference in tonight’s game. A cold shooting night from 3-point land against the Boston zone defense left them without many options early on, until Skal made them feel his presence.
His hook shot was money, no matter if he was one-on-one or challenged with a double-team. When the guards split the zone, he was there to finish. Not just with the finesse; he showed us physicality we hadn’t seen before.
Nearing a 20-point performance on the offensive end, he’s shown up better than ever before on the defensive end.
