Andy squeezed out a 128.12–123.88 win on the back of Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 31.8-point explosion — quietly the kind of performance that wins weeks and doesn't get enough credit until the standings update. The margin was 4.24 points, which sounds comfortable until you realize Brandon had Blake Corum, among others, rotting on his bench, and any one of three different guys sitting there would have flipped the result alone. The cowboys posted the 4th-best score of the week and *still* lost — which is a specific kind of misery that doesn't get easier to explain the more you think about it. That's four straight for Andy in this series, and with Brandon's bench doing that kind of damage to himself in a sub-five-point game, the cowboys have some lineup soul-searching to do before this one fades from memory.
