What happened
Boston is 3-1, and Paul George has driven early defensive disruption while Jayson Tatum has shifted into a career-best playmaking role through four games.
Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard have powered the offense, with Hauser posting huge on-off splits and Pritchard shooting far above his expected three-point rate.
LINEUP CONTEXT
Those numbers suggest Boston may keep leaning on Hauser and Pritchard for spacing and creation, while Friday’s Bulls matchup offers another test.
