Michael Jordan famously had his “flu game” in the 1997 NBA Finals and now Dillon Brooks is having a T-shirt game against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night.
With the first 5,000 fans receiving “Dillon The Villain” Star Wars-themed shirts, Brooks gave them a show in the first half fitting of his moniker, with 24 points on 8-of-11 shooting.
His lights-out play on the offensive end of the floor at Mortgage Matchup Center contributed to Phoenix Suns grabbing a 72-56 halftime lead over the league’s hottest team.

Brooks was 2 for 3 from 3-point range and a perfect 6 for 6 from the free-throw line. The forward also added three rebounds, an assist and a steal while only committing a single turnover.
His defense was notably smothering against Detroit star Cade Cunningham late in the second quarter, as Brooks helped force a miss and he eventually grabbed a second-chance shot attempt by Tobias Harris.
He took it the other way and knocked down an 11-foot fading jumper.
