ANALYSISMason Jones and
Stanley Johnson carried Stockton to the win Thursday, but Burton had a strong showing, particularly with his peripheral contributions outside of reaching the 20-point mark. He was one of three players who reached the 20-point plateau for Stockton, with the others being Jones and Johnson. With the win, Stockton has moved to the G League Conference Finals, where the team will take on either the Blue or the Skyforce.
