Brian has already covered how Juwan Howard s offense-destroying strategy on Sunday night centered on Franz Wagner, not Hunter Dickinson, guarding Northwestern center Pete Nance, the 6 10 hub of their five-out offense. Once Howard got the pick-and-roll coverage right (it took three minutes, he s pretty good at this), Nance all but disappeared, scoring one basket after the opening four minutes with one assist and three turnovers.
