Jahlil Okafor led New Orleans with 25 points, 14 rebounds and five assists in a 117-110 win over Detroit. Frank Jackson added 13 points and eight rebounds in the win.
And he played something like 40 minutes. From a guy who was getting a lot of DNP and 5-minute playing time games a couple of months ago, it's great to see him getting real minutes now.Gary Trent, Jr. scored 11 points in a 129-124 win over Golden State.
Just a reminder for anyone whose head has been buried in the sand this last week...
A little known former Dukie named Zion Williamson makes his NBA debut tonight for the Pelicans at 9:30 EST on ESPN. Might be worth it to tune it.
Kyrie Irving led Brooklyn with 45 points, seven assists and six rebounds in a 121-111 win over Detroit.
What's so sick about this is he did this with just one turnover. By way of comparison, I freaking love Tyus Jones, but when he racks up six or seven assists with zero or one turnover, it's super impressive but his number of opportunities to turn the ball over is much more limited. He's not driving the lane a dozen plus times, through traffic, and getting a shot off. Kyrie had 30 shots and 10 foul shots. He had so many opportunities to turn the ball over. I've got to think 45 points and just one turnover is very, very rare.
Just checked - the record for most points without a turnover in an NBA game: Carmelo got 62 without a turnover in Jan of 2014. He had 13 rebounds as well. Zero assists, steals, or blocks. That's an insane stat line.
