Purvis Defense on Williams

[SaeHusky]

Purvis entered the game in 2nd half when we we were only up 4 and Williams was going off. He held Williams scoreless over the next 7 min when we went on our big run. Kudos Purvis!

I was going to post this...IMO, I think this was the key to the game. Williams was single-handedly keeping them in the game, Rodney did a great job shutting him down and they never had a 2nd option on offense.

It was what changed the game. Taking SG off Williams and putting RP on him really slowed him down. Did he even score again?

He didn't score when Purvis was on hime the rest of the way

I think Williams got free once (and hit the 3) after RP took over.

I just checked the play by play - Williams didn't score the rest of the game after the 3 pointer he hit @ 16:34 which was right before Purvis came in and started guarding them. Before that he had scored 7pts in the first 3.5 minutes of the 2nd half

Oh, they had another option. Zangari. Nothing says the other option has to be good. He went zip for six from three. Hish shots mostly might as well have been passes to DHam, since Dan Hurley was cleaning up on his misses.
