What happened: Johnson hit three 3-pointers in the opening half of the preseason game. Young ran the early offense and reached nine assists by halftime.

Why it matters: Preseason minutes test the backcourt pairing ahead of the 2026-27 season. Early creation from Young paired with perimeter finishing from Johnson shapes rotation evaluation.

By the numbers: At the break: Johnson 11 PTS, 3 3PM; Young 9 AST.

What to watch: Second-half usage will show whether the pairing stays together. The final box will confirm shooting splits and assist totals.
