Just tell me the halftime score, Big Z
You know why you’re here. Nothing else matters. Big Z has 11 points on 3-3 from three and 4-4 overall, the most ridiculous debut in the history of basketball. He’s also got three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in eight minutes.

He started with a block at the rim, then ridiculous behind-the-back pass to Antonio Reeves for the three. And then the 7-2 forward went nuclear, going back-to-back-to-back-to-back on makes from deep. One was later changed to a two, but who cares?
It’s all something out of a movie.
