As a Black Chicagoan analyst raised on blues and box scores, I’ve seen teams chase stats like scripture. After our win over the Thunder, Obi Tiplin didn’t just shoot—he sculpted the game with numbers: 12/6 in three-pointers, 7/4 from the line. This isn’t about heart—it’s about precision under pressure. My fourth-dimension defense model proved what the eye cannot see: true grit lives in the crunch of midnight analytics. We don’t want attention—we want proof.
