If you would have told me that the Memphis Grizzlies, without their superstar Ja Morant, would set the NBA record for the biggest margin of victory in NBA history, well, I probably would have asked you how many points former Spartan Jaren Jackson Jr. had.
Well, the answer to that is 27 (in just 20 minutes), and the Memphis Grizzlies did, in fact, set a new NBA record on Thursday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a 152-79 win, the largest margin of victory in the history of the league.
Jackson was on fire all night, doing the most damage against the Thunder. He finished with 27 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks and an assist in 20 minutes, which is wild. He shot 6-for-7 from deep, further proving that he is the true unicorn in the NBA.
Fellow Spartan Xavier Tillman also played well, finishing with 11 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals in the historic outing.
