A red hot Justinian Jessup has provided the sizzle for the surging Illawarra Hawks as they climbed into third place on the NBL ladder with a 87-70 home victory over struggling Brisbane.
With fellow sharpshooter Tyler Harvey sidelined because of a knee twinge, Jessup stepped up, bagging a NBL career-best 29 points in Thursday night's match in Wollongong.
