Kendrick Nunn is a quiet, cold-blooded, killer. I noticed this quality in him last year, his first in the Association. He delivered dagger after dagger, right to the heart, closing out games and teams with utterly fearless ruthlessness. He did that tonight:

🗡

He is a slight player, only 6’2” 190 lbs, he does not intimidate anybody with his size, pedigree, or mouth. Only his game. He was the “RevelatNunn” last season but coach Erik Spoelstra went away from him in the resumed season and playoffs. I’m sure for good reason. He became the forgotten man. But tonight, as in many nights in the season past, he was the main man again in Jimmy Butler’s absence, with a team high 24 points on 8/15 shooting and 4/8 from range, and he delivered the 🗡 again that sealed the game. K-Nunn is a revelation.
