"He basically tells me to shoot the ... ball," Risacher said. "That's not just from him. That's from everybody on the coaching staff and my teammates. It helps with my confidence."
According to ESPN Research, Risacher, 19, also joined Victor Wembanyama, Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Lamar Odom as the only players to have 30 points and multiple blocks and steals in a game before they turned 20. Risacher is the only one of those players to also have five 3-pointers.
Risacher drained 6-of-10 3-pointers and was 11-for-18 from the field. He was 5 for 7 from deep in the first half alone.
Risacher made a key basket late, tying the score at 110-110 with 1:31 to play. With Trae Young being double-teamed, Risacher cut to the foul line, caught a pass from Young and made a clutch shot in the lane.
