However, Cason Wallace’s play was the highlight of the game. He scored 23 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the field while contributing four rebounds, four assists and four steals. The most encouraging aspect of Wallace’s stellar performance was his scoring inside the arc. He usually struggles to create separation off the bounce and finish through contact, but Wallace relentlessly attacked the basket against Houston. Most of his damage came via timely cuts, yet he had a few on-ball possessions that showed his potential.
