Here comes James Harden creating some space Just challenging the shot. That was more than enough defense. You got to block that for it to be a great play With the three on the other end here as his first half winds to a close pulls up from the elbow So that's a third on Jonas Joelle spinning That was pretty from Joelle Embiid Parted by McCollum gets the screen from Embiid back to Joelle it goes It's pretty To go with Zion's drive dribble penetration With six tonight for the visitors and be baseline up Getting good looks right Those are looks that he is more than capable of making and then again the Sixers really haven't changed their approach Good look from Zion in addition to his 26 points five assists now five rebounds Tonight for Joelle Embiid Indeed we do 78 even Leave just inside the free-throw line unties So a very good young player. No question. No shame in that at all. Just saying you see the difference right there Embiid Ladies and gents and he's breakdancing after that and one opportunity Take a look at the little bounce pass James leaving it Oh so nicely for him able to avoid the defender in this case. It was Hayes and then yeah, no cardboard. We don't need that Get the hardwood here nice finish around the defender number 10 Hayes frustrated Jojo Dancing some more.

Let's fly from outside Something that's been a season-long issue Vincenzo better pass to pull better pass to class They're 27th in the league in three-point shooting percentage Anthony Lamb has subbed in As long as they want one of nine on threes right now and you're clogging up the paint makes it beat you at the top We said on the homestead It's fine all kinds of openings John Collins or you should get a fairly easy two-for-one here Full assist from Jordan pool Kind of watch clay Thompson's movements he wait the way he sets up people the way he cut through unfortunately for John It's been a problem all year. He's missing His two teammates and then here's the jumper he's just feeling good now and what does John Tate Murray Knocked it away Eight and three four come on and 17 really good minutes To get someone else Case but this is the game right now clay Thompson keeping the warrior kept a float by clay's threes, but The Hawks are making their push now on a dribbling and a lot less passing land the open three-point shooter Sticking in rings play Thompson. It's my night. I got 36 Play Thompson even chins are running with pool. There. He is laying the trail three One can you score twice and come up with a stop in between you need it play Thompson three Like a must score for the Warriors this trip down It's been playing what are you running here nothing Split for clay Thompson Nothing going on dream on a beautiful screen plays 9th three of the night former warrior 41 minutes 10 made threes and the lead again Just a flamethrower. They didn't even need to make a great move From about 10 12 feet is good Getting more timeout is bright, but shooter instead is going to give it to the trailer Austin reads will see if he can shoot his way out of a slump and a good pass throw down Thomas Brian I've got another rebound Austin at 20 points and was six out of 23 Shot you can get a button here. We might be a speed put the timeout LeBron hands in the air and scores mellow at the attack to 47 The mellow the spin Off of the block by next to last and field goal percentage Although they put up 134 against the Lakers LeBron all the way to the he's not turning it over He's his assistant turnover ratio has been stellar Offensive surge taken by Austin looks left goes behind his back Austin Makes it look simple Shot clock is about a second and a half ahead of the game They're gonna go in with a double-digit First couple of minutes here at a third the Lakers defensively have to continue with that pressure make the winner think The third quarter a quarter that has been a nightmare for you numerous times LeBron gets an add-on Lakers leader and score this year for the You know, it's nearly halfway through the season LeBron Diving and throwing it down with two hands is T Brian fellows two for nine and one to five from beyond the arc towards the all-star 2022 Scratch here. You may see a timeout LeBron Rattles in here is ball ball comes out the right to the hands of LeBron Broad James that came to steal Come out to LeBron with me We have a chance for a little bit of a mini-break we have seven fast break points take it away LeBron Received now give us again Well, maybe not a look at the clock. Well LeBron goes here. He comes throws it up throws it in he knew the clock Now shooting coming off of that great move of a jumper LeBron bumps into his man LeBron He's at it again Put it in the column the W column, of course the Lakers with no a team Charlotte without Kelly Oubre jr. They're second-leading score Don't quit two hands on the perfect assist Milk it for all its worth coming up on the two-minute mark. LeBron sits this way through the defense Coach Bud says there's a long list of controllables in a game, but on defense it's competing on offense during the basketball Throw it in his general direction. You don't have to pick it right right on point in terms of accuracy just in the general direction It's got this bulls and fires at the elbow She's seen a lot of that since the LeBron James Anthony Davis game against the Lakers here Giannis has the answer to for Ziggas eight points here to begin with Seven some fun what a nice job with the Greek Greek version up around and through But Bradley build just total carelessness on his part with that through the leg Pass delivery Janice pounces on top of it Tested look here's another one for AJ Stephen Watson So, it's Grayson Allen Giannis Who takes it inside and draws the contact another and one for Giannis Two years old third year in the league out of position right there thought about going for a steal, but just because of that little lapse in judgment opens up a lane for Number of our style with his left hand at 20 points now for Giannis Joey goes with the rebound bucks will have one more chance at one more shot in his final possession Giannis picking up some speed Mr. Fantastic if you will see you don't want to be you Starters to be at this third quarter here for the Bronx with Drew coming off the bench here tonight in his return Giannis that hesitation picks up the speed and look out You live with that when you're playing that centerfield drop deep is if they can knock down difficult floaters with some rear contest the one So be it Giannis lays it in with the left hand. He's got 28. We already sort of locked the honest in All-star, but really as a starter until he's not Tries to deflect the pass Right down the middle Giannis your old step and flips it up with the right hand for the finger a little home mojo if they can and bring it On the road here for this season. There's some mojo Giannis with the throwdown and mean mugging it for 36 Posting them up here, but it's almost a misnomer because he'll post up You know back to the basket starting out to beat the line top the key this way 40 points for Giannis There's a 40 that we talked about he's straight for the first time in his career. We're showing on that last possession That's what competing is all about Giannis Nice job just powering through we have to be really 6 8 to 30 Just a show-and-go float from left side to right side little massing I was taking it on a bounce So we'll find Drew sit about 47 points 10 rebounds at 7 assist Giannis flips it up to challenge it here comes Giannis 50 points here for Giannis sliding through the defense is to box last seven games particular the last three games Conversely the Spurs are the worst Defending the two-ball and the three-ball and right away they go right to the hoop and Brunson scores with ease Nick's on the board Here's Brunson back on his feet backs down Jones the fadeaway goes down That's 74% of the foul line Hudson put it on the boots against the rookie pulls up Brunson shown his full repertory open the game penetrating creating didn't a little post in the toasting this time we've been an achieving Late against the Nets the other night at 14 points Brunson putting on the moves fadeaway good again shots Played in Tennessee as Clyde mentioned. He's a good defender on Brunson now. Let's go right to the hoop with the scoop Nick's trying to make it three straight wins randle three tip by Harden Stein once it again Some great start now with their team Three game lapses the previous game with 5149 in her box Brunson weaving pulls up and scores first point to the quarter for Jamie Watson 40 seconds Randall's providing this business down the stretch Brunson's teardrop goes down Brunson previously in the paint eight feet away drives on Branham nothing doing fades away Three to go look at the defense down by the screws They're tightening up rhymes squeezing through away to the shoot Brunson waits and hits He's somewhere Brunson's works the three. He's got 25 points with five issues recessed spins stops And they watch Brunson's chicken bacon, so the Knicks move and groove and they only have eight assists make it nine right there They know each other well Quickly spent two years in Lexington Brunson scores So Nick's ball with nine to shoot Brunson herky-jerky the floater got it He was the national player of the year with great plan for his dad Brunson off his back foot scores gives him 31 It's a bit of two-man team Brunson and Randall lobbed to Sims Dives it in Did he touch it Knicks by three? Coming up on the three-minute mark another close one for the Knicks at the garden Thanks, of course just a mediocre team at home once in extensive finishes Indefensible Grooving dexterity the creativity of the glass So if you're the Spurs, you know, the Knicks are going to go one-on-one they haven't been dishing the ball just Brunson Knocks it down for a career-best. He's got 36 and Brunson continue to isolate tempesty Brunson probing Johnson the fadeaway See look at this defense by Johnson so you got to be all over Brunson. You can't let him do this You got to try to force it Fundamental pump fake by Kelly Olenek got the defense up in the air first turnover Rockets got a little fancy behind the back. Here's a lob beautifully done JC We mentioned the seven First routers in the last two seasons for Houston and marketing drills it deep and that is a pure a three-pointer by green speed against speed Marketing likes that spot hit one before make it two Wow hit the triple Yeah, you don't give him that kind of space Utah has worked that shot clock down to 10 beautiful save by JC awesome save falls into the second row is gonna be late on For it. Yeah right here Vando getting fancy behind the back It's a Lowry Holly I love it. Look at that. It's on the run and behind the back Considered the flop of the year in the NBA on NBA. No, it was trending on Twitter. I really was it was hilarious There's Clarkson again on top Horton Tucker, they double it lost the handle still lost it down on the floor clears marketing rises up hits Will Hardy one thing we've learned Holly is it we never know what really rotation so go with it's a feel as They go outside and mark it in He's part of that young nucleus. He told you he's just 20 years old and a lot to like about this young man's game Oh, let it turns it over. Nice job pokes it away. Vando feeds mark it in Not status first Marketing Backside on a guy and driving him out of there Marketing. Yes, history is a little unorthodox, but he makes it work especially if you have enough time to draw that thing from down low as marketing gets in there for Possible and one, you know, that's just want the ball to go in Well, this is a lost art to this little sweeping hook coming across taking the bump just floating it up and over Rockets young playing hard the jazz Tap it in count it and a new career high likely races into the paint There's marketing runs it He jumps the 40-point mark in Houston, it kind of takes an advantage away from yes Created it. Yes marketing slashes and hits Yes, sir beat me I think if you break down 27 to 32 point scores in this league It's free throws that get you there and that shot. Yes, sir. The corner three and Kessler celebrates My hand why not straight away Wow Marketing backpedals this bench explodes 49. Wait, did you say the All-Star Game was coming up soon? There is Levine picked up by Tucker on a switch fires up three Back Levine with 20 in the first meeting He had all the nicknames for the dumps chocolate Thunder sticking them under here is Levine Harden drives it which of it helps it go to rotation by Levine Excellent. Oh, look dr. J. I'm gonna rock it up back a little bit. Yeah, I thought it's gonna rock the baby Both coming up that far sideline a little bit of a cradle there just a just a Little here we get something rebound six assists though. He's flirting with what would be a 71st career triple-double love feed Give me the hot sauce at the feet Good second quarter both got themselves back in the game with good defense There's Levine on the drive with the ripping show. You know what? You know what if he would have missed that they would have called a foul Yeah Levine With a three, yeah, I'd like that exactly it's hard to remember Harris in Milwaukee that feels like so long ago Fading running jumper. No boots of it's another board 16 now Levine pops a three and heads. Give me the hot sauce at the feet There's boots of it trying to match up with Harold Levine a deep three Six, I told you catch and shoot. He's right up there with clay Thompson Levine's feeling it Step back three. Yeah. Oh, let me step back and kiss myself Here is maxi a tough shot with dosumu defending White numbers. Yep. Levine again. Is he feeling it? You give me the hot sauce at the feet Again, so boots of it finds white penetrates the zone Zach Levine Don't show it goes at Williams Fine by Colby. That's how you attack the zone. You gave him a look away But Colby white is out there with the four starters because he could spread the floor in his play indeed Zach love it. Okay, bang bang bang. Okay. This is what I said about Zach Levine and watch this catch and shoot whoo bang They need to rub more play where he's getting catching shoots 44% from catching shoots two minutes to play Levine's open Bang bang bang. I told you he sucks in the night catch and shoot, baby Here's Levine behind the three-point line. Oh my good Second most shooting night He goes right to the corner So this isn't like clay Thompson type shooting because usually that's like clay Thompson around the night. Remember yet. What was it 60 indicate? So a baseline against his former teammate can't get the finish the rebounds his own men's score Under 10 for Zach Just shoot the ball of confidence now unbelievable percentage Kaelin Horton Tucker the Chicago Natives To work against him right away and hits the jumper One of the many pieces that came over in the Donovan Mitchell trade the Bulls fans mark Brady said it's his neighbor's dog baby sister sometimes I would assume move back on the court for the Bulls Heat up now Swing it around the perimeter 35 seconds left in the opening half. He's got the smaller defender on him, you know tomorrow wants to take advantage of that Also, what's been really gives the Bulls our turnovers catch and shoot That's money in the bank right now for Zach he's got it going from three-point line He can't be that in Utah. It's all come together in season number six for Marcus. Mr Rosen, it's the mid-range fadeaway and I say this you gotta be he's also got six dunks with fives and career-high dunks And it turned out to be a good mix. These guys really had an event. He's trying to season off Start the year as the Rosen Those defense kind of sleeping here a little bit Zach being guarded by Horton Tucker Rosen working on the rookie of bodgy gets it up Shot clock under ten full spinning jumper by the Rosen. That's good Let's get 14 on the clock now Rosen being guarded by Vanderbilt The Rosen cut off by Vanderbilt They say shooters shoot but right now the shots by Beasley have not been helping the visiting jazz Olenna completes the three-point play cuts the lead to five every possession critical now the Rosen Managing all those injuries and of course still a lot of key players out Thomas Bryant last three meetings Against the Lakers LeBron straightaway the bounce Thomas Bryant leans in and scores again the fourth overall pick from Iowa Schroeder where Murray wasn't out items. So Dennis said thank you very much I'm neither one of them though near the top of the Western Conference Also voting although they're playing all-star caliber that guy's the leading vote getter left it for LeBron and he'll come out as With the dribble in the attacking zone LeBron wants to get to the rim drive kick bad shoot scores Shooting it as a first resort catch and fire pack nothing but bottom Atlanta by the way was the last game for the Kings and the Hawks beat up Schroeder Jarvin ham got a technical was on the staff Sacramento was on an 801 and now Russ has nine straight for the Lakers until LeBron scores again So far to 601 for Sacramento in front of a raucous crowd Here's the golden. What's in a backhand layup is the bonus guard you've had February LeBron, here we go In the NBA, he's over the axe older to some pitch Underneath all over his head the layup is Sacramento's was eight and the Lakers probably won on an 801 and tied the game Strong to the basket and a one-hand jam by the King Western Conference Realize the Lakers only two back of the sixth spot as LeBron stores with the left hand. You have that kind of talent Terrence Davis the third Covered beautifully to Lakers had that come. Yeah Christian The guy you have to be aware of when you drive to the rim LeBron with five with four LeBron get to the rim LeBron all the way Gonna be tonight 22 23 23 27 with three to shoot LeBron all the way splits the defense Russ's is ready to come back in himself Russ was 22 and 15 times Back in he's got Harrison Farns on him now With the left hand Brian is LeBron James watch this left-hand shot just nice. He is just taking over their offense Here why are there anybody's huddled up that nobody's ball time now they should be on the free throw line lining up shooting a free throw
