Brandon Jennings got some friendly advice from two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash, who told him the most important part of being a good NBA point guard is to create plays, especially down the stretch.

"That's something I worked on really hard during the summer, making plays when it counted," Jennings said, "Not always shooting it, but just making plays for everybody and getting the best possible shot."

In his last two games, Jennings is 16-for-28 from the field and 4-for-5 on three-point attempts.

"He's trying to learn a difficult position," Skiles said. "The art of spreading the ball around and having vision, those are gifts very few people have at a high level. Some people have them in the middle of the road and have to work at it. He's working through a lot of things."
