What to watch: Hart's line finally moved. After 54, 56, 54 and 55, he dropped to 43 in Chicago, his first cold night of the season. Kolek topped the Chicago game at 55, his third straight game at 51 or better in his first real minutes. Same formula as the season board, scored game by game, so one loud night moves a line fast. Five games in, these lines are going to swing.

The flipped story: Kolek and Bridges were last season's chemistry story, +10.2 per 100 over 356 possessions. This season they are −17.9 in 21 minutes together. That is still close to nothing, and the minutes are printed right on the grid so nobody has to guess. Numbers via PBPStats, cross-checked against Basketball-Reference, where the pair minutes match to the minute. Five games in, on a 2-3 team, most of this grid is red because the start has been red.
