Dallas is 0-6 from downtown in the fourth.
Incredibly efficient game for Curry tonight.
Juan saw it all the way, see man and ball.
Push ahead, Kaminga, the human helicopter!
Stop showing out! Why not?
Hachimura, oh!
And he just got teed up, but wow!
Full connection, brought to you by Xfinity,
powering possibilities with the left.
I like it, I like that emotion.
And then the stare down, you know what, that's worth 2,000.
Now Moran at 31 points.
And McCollum trying to match, oh!
Nance comes in and taught him well.
He took it and dropped the sledgehammer.
Others for the Pelicans.
And look at this dunk here by Larry Nance Jr.
But more importantly, look at Al Dahlman.
We told you, they're the best scoring bench at the NBA.
They're already halfway to their average.
DeRozan.
Oh!
That's this dunk right here.
Watch your hand, Portal.
Woo!
My goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
Norman Powell, a floater.
Davis for rebound.
Jimenez as he came in after jumping up.
LeBron is in and...
Oh!
Dropped that anvil.
LeBron.
I mean, it's remarkable.
I mean, LeBron James spends well over a million dollars on body maintenance
to make plays like this.
Look at this.
Who wants to come in my way?
Who wants to be part...
Shot clock at four.
Embiid into the lane.
And with the...
Put your head down.
Make up your mind.
Just pulls it right through.
And our guards have claimed their second victim.
Josh Primo got somebody earlier.
Lonnie Walker, you wanted in on the action.
Tatum.
Good ball fake.
One more.
Tatum.
Oh, he...
I welcome you to this definitive...
Randle throws it down.
Oh, he's been upset with you, Max.
He thought he bumped him up.
235 pounds of fury.
That's ferocious.
The crowd was like someone put a dagger in him.
Dallas had the lock all by himself, but Mitchum was able to break it up.
Here comes Dinwiddie.
A titanic finish from Dinwiddie.
No, he had that in him.
And I'm sorry I doubted that.
But incredible.
Attack the big man.
You go right at a shot blocker.
You don't try to avoid him.
Hamstring tightness.
Skano Anderson flips it outside.
Ends up to Krominga.
Takes it in.
Rocking the clear runway.
Three-point game.
Brogdon.
Back to Brown.
Brown.
Caruso.
Mike, we got to revisit this.
I just have to see it one more time.
Step back and tell him.
Jalen Brown, on your head.
He has watched Curry and he's watched Thompson.
Well, he's been here.
Watched their work ethic.
Watched what they do as Kyle Anderson.
Wow.
Where'd that come from?
Two-possession game.
Boston can add to it.
Here is Brown between the legs.
No.
Continues to thrive this postseason.
Bench loves this one.
Nobody gets a body on Al Horford.
Coaching three minutes to go.
Smart to make a steal.
Back to Brown.
And they are gone.
Can make a poster.
Ah.
They always seem to get back.
There's the lob.
Oh, the green slammed it down on the U.
Look at Jalen Green here.
And looks like it just floated.
Oh, that's nasty, too.
That is absolutely incredible.
Holt was on the bench.
Oh, yeah.
And they're counting the basket, Chris.
See, pow.
He is such a high jumper, but he does it quickly.
And smothering defense.
They get the turnover.
No-kick ball called.
Three on one.
Chabot caught a body.
Setting off the smoke detector here.
And we got a five-alarm blaze.
Gabe Niby on the top against Wampanoag.
He will drive him and posterize him.
Wow.
Youngfellow, you still made a great play.
People come to see plays like that.
That's with emphasis.
Emphasis.
That dunk.
Grant makes the technical foul free throw.
Over the top.
Primo on the runoff.
Oh!
Did you see me?
Very often, but Trey Lyles has the ability to elevate late.
Head to Martin.
Into the lane.
To the rim.
Oh, my goodness.
Look at this K.J. Martin on your head.
My goodness, that's a mild Turner poster.
Welcome to the K.J. Martin dunk show.
Wow.
For one, if you're throwing the ball to Jabari.
Oh, there you go.
Got it.
Full extension.
Look at this right here.
Nice steal for the Academy Sports and Outdoor Super Bowl replay.
Then he actually is.
He's 6'9", 237, but he has a 7'6'' wingspan.
Hands jam.
Jason Tatum.
Perks can go on the backcourt to get that.
And the Knicks get a new 20, get a new 14.
Quickly, the drive.
Throws it up.
That was sensational.
Here it comes.
I thought quickly he was going to shoot that.
What a pass.
And his head was above the rim.
That is special stuff.
Obi topping.
Look.
Ow.
Hard erosion.
Doubled.
Here it is right here.
He's going to go Hardenstein, try to challenge him at the rim.
And he just overpowered the big fella.
Got a hand on it, did Hardenstein.
And Williams still put it down.
Hardenstein looked like Frankenstein.
Let me find that Sports Aviation Twitter.
There you go.
Oh!
Don't do that too early.
Oh, my goodness.
San Antonio attacking in the paint.
Look at this crusher right here by Vassell.
They've been continually cutting and moving and finishing.
Jose's there.
He's got some.
Oh, look out.
Man in transition.
Dominating start to the second.
12 fouls thanks to that man.
Have you ever had a 40-40 game?
Against Carl Anthony Townsend.
Terrific guy.
Pass up ahead.
Here's the estimation point of Anthony Edwards.
With his first triple of the game on his fourth attempt,
Jose.
Showtime, Jackson Hayes.
Wow.
Jackson Hayes does this in the game at seven feet.
We will be watching that and made that look easy.
That's the East Bay funk, ladies and gentlemen.
Is that what that is?
They've started the quarter 0 for 9 from the floor.
Here's three.
Really good.
McDaniels has had a strong night.
Gives it to Noel.
The Hesi.
Oh!
Take another look.
There are certain plays that happen in the NBA that are demoralizing.
Could be a chase down block.
We've seen LeBron do it a ton.
But those kinds of plays,
when you get on top of your shot blocking center,
throw it right in his face.
Jordan Goodman.
Here's Barton.
On the team saying, I still have my bounce.
Take a look at that.
Look at Jordan Goodman.
Oh, and one.
Don't jump.
That should go down as an offense rebound for Blake.
Kept that ball alive.
Gets one from White.
Now he gives it to White.
Oh!
All right, let's do it.
Look at the bench.
With the help of Larry Nance Jr. on the take.
Zion surveys the situation.
Blast pass.
He saw it was Walker Kessler.
Timeout Utah.
One mark here in quarter number two.
Well, he even backs up to get some runway on Walker Kessler.
And once he gets that first step on you,
he is just too powerful to stop.
He rises up.
Finds Conley.
7.30 to play.
Oh, my.
Posterize Gobert.
Jaden McDaniels picks up his second.
We've got a timeout on the floor with 6.21 left.
And that, my friend, is one big-time bucket by Market
and over Gobert.
Timeout.
And with DeRozan on the bench, the Bulls have extended this lead.
Dubre attacks Bucievic.
He threw it down so hard on him.
Tempo difference, though, when DeMar is off the floor.
They pick up the pace.
Yep.
Dwight is four rebounds closer to the top ten.
LeBron for the jam.
The shot clock did not start.
Sumner finds Sharp.
What a find.
What a slam.
The quickness of the pass catching a body.
My goodness.
We played the most preseason minutes.
We saw that last year.
We saw it again this year.
Shingun and Jabari Smith, the third.
A little takeoff behind the restricted.
And if he would have done anything else but dunk it,
Shingun may have had a chance to get a piece of the basketball.
Hole in the drive.
Drops it off to Jalen Smith with the poster on Plumlee.
Neither does anybody over on that bench.
Ooh, look, ooh.
Ooh.
And a full flex from the young fella.
This was the group.
Here we go again.
My goodness.
K.J. Martin inbounded.
Payton misses.
Looney offensive rebound.
Curry and Payton.
Oh.
In the second.
Looney gets him the second chance.
Curry with a great pass.
Wow, he just hung in the air
and got space on Batase to throw it down.
Man.
The challenge made that one tough for Grant.
Here comes Giannis.
Picking up some speed.
First of all, watch Giannis.
Watch how he just explodes off that left foot
right there outside of the restricted area.
Nergis didn't know what hit him.
It's the A-train, Nerg.
It's the A-train.
Basically, Lowry said, hey, you're doing a great job.
Stay in the gym and keep at it.
Keep chomping wood.
Oh, he took some souls.
Oh, he took some bodies.
Joe Ingles, but my goodness, to elevate like that,
throw it down, and my favorite part of the whole thing
is when he turns to the bench and flexes on him right there,
and that is your team.
Even with George Hill back, getting some minutes tonight.
Good deflection by White, and Tatum now in the open floor.
Oh, Giannis went at him, and Tatum slammed it and got fouled.
He said he chased him down.
Okay, he chases him down.
Now, just watch as he's out here.
See him come in here now?
He thinks that he has a chance to get that clean up high.
Unfortunately, depending upon the angle,
all right, there's the body contact, all right?
12th game with them.
Wagner, backdoor cut by Ross.
Spinning, whirling, dunking.
Terrence Ross, the torch, lights it up in the fourth quarter.
Wow.
You got to go back and look at this one again.
Great backdoor play.
Terrence Ross, the setup, 360.
Boston on an 8-0 run.
Forgets by Giannis, and throws it down.
Horford.
Terrence Mann into Monk.
Hit back at Reeves.
Numbers the other way.
Reeves up high.
Oh, for Monk.
Cammerson in.
Lakers are rolling.
14-0 run.
Over the last four minutes, Austin Reeves, Malik Monk,
trying to tear down the rim here.
15-0 run.
If you don't, so.
Smart play, Jalen Brown.
The Celtics bench.
Look at this.
That's a heck of a pass right there.
Man, it was on his forearm, David.
I think it had actually come out of his hand.
And really on the way down.
That energy that then starts to fade
is because of the fatigue.
Mitchell.
Goodness is right.
What's the speed here?
Two feet.
The acceleration.
And that is strength right there.
Coming back from a jumper by DeRozan.
Hovering one through.
Get off me, DeMar DeRozan.
Get it done.
It's the slam.
Here's 7 to shoot for Simons.
Sidesteps Bryant.
Triggers the throw.
Outstroke.
Satan Sharp scrapes the sky with a right-hand hammer.
He gets the hand off.
Jeff Green by his man.
Folks, bad intentions.
No one was going to stop Jeff Green on this drive.
The hammer down.
The hammer down for Jeff Green driving in the lane.
There's no one that could stop him.
Jordan picks up his first foul, the fourth team foul.
Now Will Barton is at the line.
Steven Adams clears it out, throws it away.
He went to Moran.
Now you've got an advantage.
Jackson on the hammer and the poster.
Count it.
See you there.
This is a man-sized dunk here.
Yes.
I mean, Steven Adams gets there just a little bit late.
You see him as he's kind of moving to the side.
Jackson Hayes.
This is what he is capable of doing.
Yes.
Role player.
He's a better role player in terms that people really realize.
Kuzma will challenge Embiid and throw it.
Possibilities.
Here's Kuzma against Embiid.
Kuzma with the win.
Lakers have tied it at 116.
That says a lot about Stanley Johnson who has earned his way on this team
and late in the game.
Get up in the air.
How about this one?
Goodness.
Outside of the backboard.
Catches it one hand.
My career.
What was it?
12 with the Indiana Pacers in 1994.
I'm not going to embarrass him, but I'd make a statement.
Horton Tucker explosive here.
He's got it going.
I like that they're playing through him.
How about the big time crossover and finish?
Reaction from the Lakers bench.
My goodness.
Grown man move.
Going on for the Rockets with Kevin and Jalen.
Much better here in the clutch.
Goon.
My goodness.
The first half with Benso in the second half.
Look at Alpranch and Goon.
My goodness.
That's just nasty right there.
My goodness.
In the face.
Find Hardaway.
Maneuvers away from a closeout.
Luca maneuvers away from a closeout.
This is a holy moment right here.
It's nice, though.
It's real nice.
It's been a timeout call, but we ain't going nowhere.
We're going to let you look at this.
Barnes leads it great.
Barnes lays in.
Dinwiddie.
Missed it.
Oh, dodge it.
A man's jam on the follow.
Sealed the win for Detroit back in October.
Bowe fakes the shot.
In Detroit.
Oh, my.
Fantastic.
Look at this.
A fantastic four.
Watch this, folks.
Look at that.
Oh, my God.
Oh, wow.
It's unbelievable.
Holy cow.
That's a post.
Beasley nearly turned it over.
Reid.
Oh, wow.
Nas Reid.
But Nas was like, Nas the rapper here saying, if I rule the world.
Wow.
Bad intentions right there.
He is that player.
But he's got to take it personal if they're going to defend him with a small perimeter guy.
Oh, Gary Payton with the flush.
Goes right at Bane.
Now getting it done.
Set up, screen, and roll.
Dives to the hoop.
GP, are you with me?
Bane.
That's a grown man move.
Tremendous athleticism.
Bridges, tough fade.
Push the other way.
Look at this.
Ladies and gentlemen, that's top shelf, top of the square.
Claxton mistimed his jump.
Morant in transition.
Oh, grants.
Hands jam.
Goodness.
This was electrifying.
Look at Shaw.
The crank, the throw down, filthy.
Mobley.
It's a running start at Cornett.
Swings it back to Mitchell.
Luke Cornett just waiting on him.
And then goes up.
Oh, my goodness.
That is tough.
Luke got to meet him a little bit further out.
But I bet you.
I bet you.
Buddy again, guarded by Garland.
If he couldn't get it to the shooting hole.
Oh, no.
He just went.
I was working for the Rockets.
I wasn't in the dorm.
No, no, no.
20 years ago, I was not in a dorm.
Thank you.
Oh!
Look at Jalen rising up over the top.
We knew at some point he was going to get a body.
And he got a body right there.
Jalen Green going upstairs.
Oh, my goodness.
Better player movement, higher quality three-point looks.
Of course, when Melton is shooting as well.
Oh!
You don't realize how long these arms are.
The outstretched arm.
As Looney tries to get out of the way.
No, no.
You can't get out of the way of that one-hand train coming down the lane.
Kept him out the entire year.
And he was pretty emotional after the game last night.
Oh!
Play has got Jared Allen on the switch.
He went to reach and played on the left.
Yo!
Look at Super Bouncy.
Cross over, gets it by Jared Allen.
Dumped on the whole city of Cleveland just now.
To put Lamar Stevens and Laurie Markin in the basket.
Mean bucket, too.
Oh, he's all the way back.
Here's the steal Boston needs.
