With 8 straight games of 20 points, Zion has tied Trae Young and Colin Sexton for the 2nd longest streak of rookie 20pt games since 2013.
Only Donovan Mitchell and Joel Embiid have a longer streak; they've both had 10 as rookies.

Basketball.
JJ Redick just takes the most mindless dumb shots.
Won the third quarter by 10. That's what you need to do. Repeat that in the 4th.
Our shooting is ice cold tonight. Better to just keep going to Zion all 4th quarter.
In his defense, he's made a career out of hitting a ton of mindless shots most players would never be allowed to take.Originally Posted by luckyman
Agreed. Obviously gotta mix it up a bit just to stop the offense going stale but every time we've focused on going into the paint through Zion, we've started scoring. There's an obvious void under the hoop for them; take advantage.

I take back everything bad I've ever said about Melli.
JJ and BI have been quite horrendous tonight

This is accurate. In the first half, Jrue was horrendous also, but he had a good 3rd quarter.
Jrue nails the awkward step-back
Nico for 333333....! Yes!
Melli has been great in this second half
Melli straight up KILLING it
Not sure what the miscommunication was there. Either Zion called out the switch and Hart failed to react, or Zion switched without mentioning it and Hart had no chance. One of them messed up.

We've had like five lob opportunities to Zion so far that we haven't capitalized on. No one can jump with him. Just lob it up there.
Great hustle from Melli and then on the other end, Jrue - Zion lob again
Joel just said it; Zion's the youngest in NBA history to score at least 20 in 8 straight games.
Zion takes Paschall to school for what feels like the 20th time tonight
Hart buries a 3. We're rolling now.
Jrue with a filthy spin move off the dribble for the layup off glass
Zion with a good pass out of the double to Hart but then Jrue one ups him with a stunning find to Redick for 3.
Jrue's been a monster this second half lol
I swear JJ shoots better on perfectly defended shots than open shots haha
