JAYLEN BROWNS RETURNS THE FAVOR 😳😳
Brandon Miller dunked on Boston in Q1, and Jaylen Brown sends a dose of his own medicine in Q2. Nasty hangtime from Brown. Boston will need a few more momentum changing plays, as Charlotte has expanded their lead to 61-39 in the final minute of the first half.
JAYLEN BROWN THROWS IT DOWN OVER A DEFENDER!

OKC stifling Brunson, up 50-40 at halftime
Chet Holmgren has a game-high 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-8 3PM) fueled by some sharp shooting. The duo of Cason Wallace and Lu Dort have held Jalen Brunson to two points (1-8 FG), but he does have seven assists versus one turnover, showing the duality of his game.

BRANDON MILLER RACK ATTACK 👀
Miller dunks so hard he hurts his hand/wrist on the play. Easy creation advantage for the 23-year-old. Charlotte leads Boston 35-23 at the end of Q1. Derrick White is the only player in double-digits with 12 points (3-6 FG, 4-4 FT).
BRANDON MILLER RUSHES TO THE BASKET AND ROCKS THE RIM!
