Friday night was the apex, an evening when almost every shot RJ Barrett tossed up went in.
He took 20 shots and made 14 of them. He hit all six of his 3-point attempts. He finished the night with an incredibly efficient 44 points.
“Scored 40, it’s hard to not feel that,” he said Saturday, when asked about his recent hot stretch, a day after his outburst in a 1. “That’s also a game where I took shots I was comfortable with, so it didn’t feel out of the ordinary. Just made more that night. I took shots I’m comfortable with, shots I work on. Teammates were finding me.”
Part of Barrett’s innate ability to shrug off early season woes is his even-keeled approach. He doesn’t panic when shots don’t fall. His temperament is usually the same, whether he has just produced a breakout performance or hasn’t been able to throw the ball into the ocean. “So the work I put into the game, I know the results will show itself. As well as I know that the team believes in me and I’m going to be put in positions to . I’m going to get the minutes.”
