Brandon Jennings was two points shy of an NBA record for a playoff debut. Jennings scored 34 points on 14-of-25 shooting using his quickness to get to the basket and to create room for his jump shots, including shooting 4-of-6 from behind the 3-point line. Despite the good shooting and second half comeback, the Atlanta Hawks were too much in the opening game of their series against the Bogut-less Milwaukee Bucks and now lead the series 1-0. Game 2 will be in Atlanta on Tuesday followed by Games 3 and 4 in Milwaukee on Saturday and Monday. If you don’t have your basketball tickets for the game, Tuesday’s game will be on NBATV (7:00 est) and Saturday’s game will be on ESPN (7:00 est).
Asked how the Playoffs compare to the regular season, Jennings said:
“The intensity is a little higher, but I can’t tell, because I’m playing above my head this whole series. There’s no pressure on us. All we have to do is play basketball.”
Here’s hoping for a few more good games from Brandon in the Playoffs.
