Brandon Jennings was masterful in the Pistons’ win over the Magic yesterday, scoring 24 points and dishing 21 assists.
As I wrote at ProBasketballTalk:
- Last 20-assist game? Rajon Rondo with 20 for the Celtics on Nov. 17, 2012 against the Raptors
- Last 20-point, 20-assist game? Steve Nash with 21 and 20 for the Suns on Nov. 9, 2009 against the 76ers
- Last 24-point, 21-assist game? Nash with 28 and 22 for the Suns on Jan. 2, 2006 against the Knicks
If you missed the game, do yourself a favor and watch these highlights. No single assist is that noteworthy, but Jennings’ ability to repeatedly set up his teammates for easy shots was something to behold.
