He knew he’d have to guard Golden State superstar Kevin Durant and that he’d need all the help available. “I was asking few guys, ‘You got some tips for me?’” Jackson said. Jackson had 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting, his latest strong effort as he seems to be finding his way in an up-and-down first season. (Sacramento Bee)
