NBA CATch-up - 2/3/22
Good morning, BBN! Although the win over Vandy last night maybe wasn't one of our more thrilling games, we certainly loved seeing Davion Mintz ball out. And on Wednesday night in the NBA, several former Wildcats also balled out. Anthony Davis led the way with 30 points and 15 rebounds for the Lakers. Julius Randle fell 1 assist shy of a triple-double against the Grizzlies last night. Quickley hit a new gear in the 4th quarter (as he typically does) and finished with 11 points and 5 assists at the point guard position, but the Knicks could not complete the comeback. In some less positive news, Isaiah Jackson got the start again tonight for the Pacers, but landed awkwardly on the first play of the game and did not return. Pacers sideline reporter Pat Boylan tweeted after the game that Jackson was "not on a boot... walking on his own." Hopefully the rookie will be back to playing shortly. Check out the rest of the Wildcats' stats below:
Anthony Davis: 30pts, 15reb, 2ast, 3blk
