NBA Power Rankings: Sixers rise to No. 2; clutch-time breakdowns for every team

New York Times  

Clutch moments have fueled the majority of this season, especially if you watch Miami Heat games. Unreliable: Jevon Carter | 40.0 FG | 25.0 3FG | 0.0 FT | 12.2 points per 36 | 3.5 rebounds per 36 | 0.0 assists per 36 | 1.7 turnovers per 36 This one feels a little unfair because Carter isn’t asked to do a lot in the clutch on offense. Unreliable: Jayson Tatum | 36.0 FG | 22.7 3FG | 80.4 FT | 25.6 points per 36 | 11.5 rebounds per 36 | 4.0 assists per 36 | 3.7 turnovers per 36 Especially when you compared it to how deadly Tatum was at the start of the season, we’re seeing a lot of those old complacent ways show themselves when he has the ball in clutch situations. Unreliable: Mike Conley Jr. | 18.2 FG | 33.3 3FG | 75.0 FT | 11.8 points per 36 | 5.9 rebounds per 36 | 3.9 assists per 36 | 0.0 turnovers per 36 It’s a very short amount of time for Conley on this Wolves team, but he’s been terrible making shots for them in the clutch. Reliable: DeMar DeRozan | 46.3 FG | 30.0 3FG | 90.6 FT | 36.9 points per 36 | 7.2 rebounds per 36 | 4.0 assists per 36 | 2.0 turnovers per 36 He was Mr. Fourth Quarter last season, and he’s still one of the most clutch individuals in the NBA this season.
