Chris Goulding's 2025-26 three-point output gives a benchmark for tonight
Run cost: US$1.21 at API prices (run on a Claude subscription) · + US$0.62 demo re-judging (judge re-run after the run finished)
In 2025-26 Chris Goulding made 2.3 threes per game, 69 from 225 attempts (7.5 per game, 30.7%) over 30 games. That is the baseline for the Anthony-creates-easier-looks storyline. It is one season, so a single game will be noisy. CONFIRMS the storyline if Goulding makes 4 or more threes, or shoots clearly above 30.7% on at least 7 attempts. CONTRADICTS it if he makes 2 or fewer or his volume falls well below 7.5 attempts, which would suggest no easier looks.

Context
What was Goulding's three-point percentage and attempts per game in each season since 2015-16?
Shows whether 30.7% was a career low, which supports the idea that he lacked easy looks before Anthony arrived.

On paceProjection
From the demo-game play-by-play, how many three-point attempts has Goulding taken by half-time, and what would that project to over a full game compared with his 7.5 per game? (Projection only.)
Tests in-game whether his volume is rising alongside Anthony, labelled clearly as a projection.
