Tar Heels in NBA: Justin Jackson scores more than a point per minute Tuesday

Posted Jan 20, 2021
Since joining the Oklahoma City Thunder in the offseason, Justin Jackson hasn’t been given many opportunities to show what he can bring to the team. He got a chance in the Thunder’s 119-101 loss on Tuesday night at the Denver Nuggets and made the most of his seven minutes with nine points, making all three of his shots, including two 3-pointers.
