I think for Ant it’s gotta be that first Boston game, that was one of the best games from a player all season IMO. 38-9-7 and only three turnovers on 60% shooting, lockdown defense on Tatum with the game on the line and playing with five fouls, and then could not miss to close the game in OT. Absolutely sublime performance, like that’s the kind of game I hope is emblematic of Ant’s prime.
For Rudy, there are so many to choose from. I think that first win against OKC went Ant left early is definitely up there. 17-16 and four blocks, completely imposed his will in the paint and had some excellent isolation defense against Chet down the stretch. He’s had so many games where he’s just willed this team to a win nearly single-handedly with his defense, im sure there are other better games I’m forgetting.
For KAT, I don’t even know. He was pretty spectacular in the big win against the Pacers. 40-12-4, 5 stocks, only 3 turnovers and 2 fouls, all on 60% from the field. There are definitely some games of his this season where the stats are not eye popping, but his defense, control on offense, and ability to just constantly make the winning play have really stood out. Those games he won’t get as much credit for, but that’s the KAT who has been the most impactful this season.
