27 points in 30 minutes for GG Jackson, who is fast becoming a terrific player. Watched him warming up, his shot is fascinating. Got kind of a Joakim Noah-like spin on it. 6-10 from three tonight, btw. pic.twitter.com/FUQBpehvKP – 11:16 PM

GG Jackson said he asked Dillon Brooks for an Instagram follow while he was at the free-throw line. He said Brooks kind of ignored him, but he’s going to DM later to get the follow. – 12:05 AM
