Count me as one who did not visualize Terry Rozier taking a critical shot at the end of regulation of this specific game. In the early going in Game One against the the Milwaukee Bucks, Terry seemed ill-at-ease, and frankly, a bit awkward out there. He was having trouble scoring the ball and finding his teammates for open shots.
T-Ro had scored only 12 points prior to making that shot. He ended up scoring 11 more points, including that monster shot that came close to winning the game. Rozier finished with 23 points on 7/18 from the field, 4/9 from beyond the arc and 5/6 on free throws. He added four rebounds and three assists.
Can't stop watching this move that @T_Rozzay3 put on Eric Bledsoe. Just filthy. pic.twitter.com/Is9vOXw16c

One of Terry's rebounds in overtime came with 13 seconds remaining in the game and Boston leading 111-107. T-Ro went high for the rebound and fought to keep it, the tussle ending in the 6th foul on Giannis Antetokounmpo and his departure from the game. Boston went on to win the nail-biter 113-107. Rozier started slow and sluggish but came through big-time in the clutch.
