7. A Perfect Quarter Of Basketball

In an effort to put Brandon Jennings’ 55-point game in perspective, I took some quick notes on what transpired during his 29-point third quarter. Just unreal.

11:00 Jennings misses a free throw on a technical. Announcer: “That’s the kind of night it’s been for Milwaukee.” Um, that’s about to change.

10:15 Jennings hits an 18-foot pull-up. The Warriors fail to defend the high screen.

9:02 Jennings hits a 16-foot jumper from the foul-line-extended. Remember when people said he couldn’t shoot?

7:55 Jennings hits a three. Yeah, about that…

7:02 Jennings hits a leaning lay-up. Bears mentioning that he can get to the basket at will. When he stops shooting lights out from EVERYWHERE, this will become pertinent. Until then…

6:01 Jennings hits another pull-up three. The crowd begins buzzing at this point. Not going crazy, but almost disbelief. Beginning to sense something special is happening.

5:35 Jennings gets a lay-up and the foul. Ann. #1: “Look at him! LOOK AT HIM!” Ann. #2. “Look at this building…” Fans completely with it now. Standing ovation, screaming, and eventually, chanting BRAN-DON JEN-NINGS.

5:08 Jennings hits a 20-foot jumper from top of the key. The Warriors fail to defend the high screen.

4:50 Jennings pull-up three. The Warriors really can’t defend that screen.

4:07 Jennings drive-and-kick for an assist. Just to see how it feels.

3:35 Assist #2: Jennings alley-oop to Bogut. It feels good. Ann.: “Young people call this SICK!” Brandon Jennings is changing Wisconsin, people.

2:40 Jennings lay-up. Now seems like a good time to wonder whether Brandon, of Compton, CA., feels more out of place in Milwaukee or Rome? I’m betting the latter, but not by much.

2:13 Jennings floater in the lane. One of Jennings’ deadliest weapon. Again, this would be pertinent if he’d stop shooting 85% from three-point range.

1:15 Three from the top. High screen, anyone?

0:45 Jennings jumper from the elbow. An even 29 for the quarter.

0:04 Jennings misses an open 3. He’s human?

0:00 Jodie Meeks Hits 60-Foot Shot at the Buzzer. Just to make sure the surrealism of this quarter rings loud and clear for everyone at home. Amazing.
