22 on 8-of-10

In a 122-110 preseason loss at the Clippers, rookie Trevon Brazile scored a game-high 22, hitting 3-of-4 from three in 25 minutes.

A fast start

Brazile checked in with 5:39 left in the first. Within a minute he had a Nikola Jokić alley-oop, a 24-foot three and a block on Darius Garland.

14 in the third

After halftime he hit two threes, a steal-and-dunk and more dunks for 14 points in the quarter, with no turnovers or fouls all night.

'He's a wizard'

Brazile said Aaron Gordon keeps him 'up to speed,' and Cameron Johnson warned him about the rookie wall. Of Jokić: 'He's a wizard.'
