“It was hanging in the balance,” Malone said. “Do we get him in? Do we get him in? Do we get him in?” Malone got his wish in Austin. Braun scored seven fourth-quarter points a second straight game.

Other times, Jokic countered the rookie’s physical gifts by using his own. With brute strength, he shouldered the 20-year-old deep into the restricted area to generate space for one post-up hook shot. He drew fouls with his physicality.During one dead ball as Jokic was piling up his 31 points, he even wandered over to Wemby to tell him something.
