What happened: Caris LeVert connected on a 25-foot pullup three-pointer with 30.7 seconds remaining in the first quarter, knotting the score at 25-25. The make came off the dribble from well beyond the arc.

Why it matters: Pullup threes from that distance shift momentum and pressure opposing defenses to extend coverage, opening driving lanes for teammates. LeVert's ability to create his own shot off the bounce remains a key swing factor whenever he is on the floor.

What to watch: Watch whether LeVert stays hot from deep into the second quarter and how the opposing defense adjusts to close out on his pullup looks.
