How Jordan Barnes built his 40 points
Barnes reached 40 by scoring at all three levels, going 8/12 on twos, 4/10 on threes and 12/14 from the free-throw line. The free throws gave the line its foundation.
His efficiency inside the arc kept Darussafaka's defence honest, while the volume from deep stretched it further. Getting to the line repeatedly meant his scoring did not depend on hot shooting alone.
The cost came in possession. Barnes committed 4 turnovers, matching his assist total, as the ball ran through him more as a scorer than as the playmaker his season average suggests.
