Zero points for seven minutes and 28 seconds from the best team in the NBA.

Some of them were

Good looks and misses, but it's not a shot-bearing thing when you're not making any of them for 728.

So credit the defense, credit that building, and the fight of all these young players responding to this survival mode.
