Posted Feb 15, 2021
First came the dagger from Justin Jackson and then came his big smile. Jackson’s clutch 3-pointer with 14.9 seconds left helped the Oklahoma City Thunder overcome a triple-double from Giannis Antetokounmpo for a 114-109 victory Sunday over the Milwaukee Bucks. Coming off a 20-point game against Denver, Jackson played his best game of the season. (Tar Heel Tribune)
