"From the opening tip Quickley was a flame thrower, his shooting stroke was pure and he was finally just making his open looks. He was attacking the rim more than usual, he was very aggressive and showed more of a willingness to get deeper into the paint than he usually does as well. This was his first 40 point game of the season, and it came through him being a more aggressive driver, and capitalizing on his open looks."
"Barnes did not let Golden State off the hook with a mismatch once tonight. He was very intentional about getting in the paint whether it was as a roller, as a transition handler, and as a driver. He knew more often than not he would have the size advantage, and he also used these advantages to spread the ball around as well."
Immanuel Quickley scored 40 points on 13 shots, added 10 assists, and hit seven three-pointers while attacking the rim aggressively and driving more than usual. It was his first 40-point game of the season, produced by taking deeper paint looks and capitalizing on open opportunities. Toronto connected on 21-of-34 threes, recording its best shooting night of the season and overwhelming Golden State, which was missing Jimmy Butler. Scottie Barnes used paint presence, rollers, transition handling, and mid-range touch to create and distribute. Shead provided steady ball movement, made both triples including a bank shot, and contributed defensively on Curry.
