NBA "Preseason is actually exciting" Moments

...that died or anything else get in the way of him being affected. Topping the block, ahead of the pack, Toppin slams it down! East Bay special from Obi Toppin! A former Slam Dunk champion! Oh, steal by Morant, here comes Choutari! He should have taken, because it was near the end of the shot clock and he didn't take it. Ball loose, Matherin. He's not getting there in time, I can tell you that. Oh my! Oh my! He's not getting there in time. Towns leaves it short, here we go. You're all clear, kid. Charge! Oh! Who knew he was Dutch? Goes for the windmill! Moon has it, Clippers with a chance to take the lead. Diabate! Oh! Yes! Hello! Nasty! 2.4 to go in the half. O'Neal launching. Got it! 11 to 2, Nuggets run. He'll stop there. Murray off the goal! At the buzzer! To Carter, back to Franz. He'll step back and shoot for three. He dribbles! Cold-blooded! They get the switch. Ish pulls up. Yes! Ish Smith! To stuff and execute. Able to get it in to Harrell. Contreras turns, sidesteps, up, off glass, and in! What a play! No. To the basket. To two. Trae Young pulls up, three-pointer. A couple of years in the making. And they're really excited about the impact team might have. Trae Young has lived in this spot before without Murray. Spins, the three, hits another! Committing the fewest turnovers. We saw that again against the Bucks the other game. They took care of the ball really well. Trae 11. Drew Holiday with 12. To pace Milwaukee. Young, logo shot. Another three is! Had back issues throughout the year. Underwent surgery. Young, the scoop. Got it! Trae Young with 31 points. Cancel, two for one. Rimball! Got it! That's where the rim was. Twice! I told him we'd get him a big coat. He'd be good. He'd be a man about that. Dress the layers. A little shimmy-shake from James. Stuck, he deserved a free throw. Doesn't get it, but the crowd appreciating the effort. Anthony Davis and Cole Swider for the Lakers. Oh! Freeze! Now you see him, now you don't. Everybody in the arena bought that. They've been down 11, lead by one. Coming upon the two-minute mark of the third. I don't think Luke Kennard has missed a shot in a month of Sundays. Oh! Back and down the hatch! John Wall dazzles the crowd. Active players with steals per game. Tyler putting on a show! Big-time play there. How involved you are with the community. Look out. Side for the receiving end for Isaiah Stewart. Listen, when he gets to that launch pad, I just grabbed your arm right there because I knew something was coming. Pocket pick by Morant. Behind the back. And jammed. You've got to take a timeout now. Miami score, Jamal Cain also in double figures with 10. Oh, what a pass on Morant over the top. And scooped up by Green. Green glides in. It'll be matchup-driven, too, and if you want more of a three-point shooter. Great game plan, discipline. You see him chop his feet. Oh, K.J. Martin! Jokic drives on man. The runner, no. Oh! Wow! Hovering above the cup. He's still a two-guard. Mantello, there's a steal. To the crease! Now that's two! Oh! Out of the way of the shot. Roddy couldn't get it away, and now it's taken by Beauchamp. He's off to the races. Look out! Action only at one practice. Beverly with a takeaway. He's got James with him in transition. And LeBron with a throwdown. Second on the franchise's three-point list, only Tim Artoway. The Hall of Famer. Oh, what a flush. Guys, Matt Carroll crosses over, drives on Kanchar, and dunks with two hands. Rule 14 field goal, J.B. 11. I'm in the paint. Oh! Ball's number 12. I'll tell you. Oh! Baseline. Uh-oh. That was payback that time. And an offensive rebound. Nix, top end, pounds it down again. After playing with the Los Angeles Lakers. Sabonis catching bodies inside! Rim rocking! And that's what you want to see. Spun and missed. Okongwu nearly grabbed it. Now he does. Okongwu to the basket. He tried to stuff it, and Jared Allen said no. Don't come in here with that stuff. Points and shot. Oh! Drummond came over to help on Jeff Green. What you talking about, Willis? Rebound by Patrick Williams. Nice move inside. Doubled. Williamson knocked it away. Tried to get it to Jones. Broken up by Dosumu and out of bounds. Those little actions in early offense, though, are the things you look for in the preseason. Oh, Simmons over his head to Claxton for the flush. A preseason highlight from Ben Simmons. Oh, that's beautiful. No-look dish. Making plays, but not turning it over. Good hands by Morant off the deflection. Got numbers. Long! Morant! Clark with the setup. That's what helps the Bucs offense. Comes down to how the defense plays it, because he has the advantage. Pick and roll. Charlotte Collins from Allen Holiday. Four minutes into the second quarter. Laker lead at four. Lobbed to Davis. JTA. What a creation. Anthony Davis. Simmons going for the steal, and Lowry makes a pay. Finding. Alley-oop inside to Kane. Nice pass. Giannis up top. No defending that. Drew Holiday. He's with him. Tries to turn the corner. He can't. Throws a pass into traffic. Stolen by Saar. He brings it across to four on three. Steps through the lob for Brown. Throws it down. Right hand. That is the sixth turnover of the game for Ron. Here's the lob for Sharp. Two hands. Head on the rim as he stuffs it in. Oh, that's dancing with the stars, Shade. They would have took a take foul. Maxie now has 17. Mencho to the rim. Takes the feed and hammers it home. He comes back a little bit better. I mean, he really works on his game, on his craft. Bam with the slam. Problems underneath. As Gabriel denied. Up ahead now for Jeverly. It's three on one. Lob. Throw it down. JTA on the lob for Pat Bev. Trying to make it another deep playoff run. Some hands. The steal for Easton. The lob. And Jaylee Green dunks it down. Oh, my goodness.
