While some of you were sleep, Dillon Brooks led Canada to a win against Team USA by doing some things he had never done in his six seasons with the Grizzlies.

Dillon Brooks and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are the first pair of teammates to each have 30+ points in the same FIBA World Cup game since 1990.
Panagiotis Giannakis and Fanis Christodoulou each had a 30-point game for Greece against Spain. – 6:32 AM

Dillon Brooks’ 7th 3-pointer (more than he’s hit in any NBA game) puts Canada back up by 1. US regains the lead on an Edwards bucket. Brooks ties the game at the line. 1 minute left. – 6:12 AM

Canada needs to clone Dillon Brooks and stick him on Jalen Brunson. Dort can’t do anything with him – 5:37 AM

Dillon Brooks is 6/6 from three early into the 3Q vs. Team USA (26 PTS). Six made 3-pointers is also his NBA career-high. – 5:33 AM

Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been Canada’s MVP in this tournament, to little surprise. But, honestly, Dillon Brooks isn’t far behind. Given the discourse surrounding him and the end of his Grizzlies tenure coming in, who would’ve thought? – 5:32 AM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has looked really improved as a playmaker throughout FIBA, and that was a dime to Dillon Brooks for 3. Lu Dort sinks one off an SGA asset next. – 4:34 AM
