Maybe he had extra good practices and Coach wanted to reward that? Maybe he thought there was a match-up to take advantage of but it never materialized? Who knows?
IMHO (where the H got rolled up in a full-court press),Goldwire played in an attempt to control Carlik Jones, who was judged to be too much for our other guards. You say it didn't work? well, he might have scored 40 otherwise.
