Mac McClung 29 points (13-25 FG), 10 assists, 9 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 turnovers. Hit game-tying shot at end of regulation, just missed potential game-winner at end of OT.
AH! Lost a tight game by one point just like their older brother squad LOL
SB Lakers almost stole this game despite not using 3 of their best players. Mason Jones (27 ppg), Cam Oliver (8.3 rebs), & Frank Mason didn't play. Jay Huff was dominating but only played 19 minutes.

They are an exciting team; I'm sure they'll bounce back. Coach Simon is experimenting and trying to get the newer guys (Sekou & Jemarrio) acclimated.

*Mac McClung scored 37 points on Sunday for the G League's South Bay Lakers McClung was 15-28 from the field in eclipsing the 30-point mark for the second time this season.
Mac putting them up all across the board and is playing with confidence.
He scored more than 30 in in a couple of recent games. He has handles and a good shot. He showed his hops too with two alley-oops from teammates.
He's one of the leaders of this deep, talented South Bay squad.
