“It’s actually what we’re supposed to do,” Goff said of the performance.

A big night like this would normally justify securing the game ball, but Campbell didn’t learn how good Goff’s night was until his postgame press conference with the media.

“Well, I just gave the cue ball to someone else, so I feel terrible right now,” Campbell admitted with a laugh. “I knew he played a hell of a game, but I didn’t know he was perfect, I didn’t know he was literally 18-for-18. But I knew he played really well, you could tell.”
