Cotton was on fire in Perth’s 99-91 victory, shooting 12/23 from the field, including seven threes in his most dominant display of the campaign.
He built the platform to his starring performance in the first quarter with 12 early points.
From then on, Gleeson knew he had to keep his talented guard in the game.
“We were able to find Bryce get him some clean looks pretty consistently throughout the game,” he said. In the first half he hit his first four [shots] and after that’s its a no-brainer for a coach.
“It’s just like get him the ball. We set great screens for him and gave him some space and he did the rest.”
Fellow import JP Tokoto was kept quiet but still tallied 13 points and seven rebounds.
