Brooks' first block of the night, Giannis picks it up, I think he might be calling his own number here, he picks it up, the shot is missed but the dip is good.
From Gordon, arguably the best dunker in the league and there's another guy who can take it to the rack and Giannis gets an and one, ties it at 16.
What hit him, I think this is what Giannis was thinking was gonna happen earlier in the game when it was Gordon back on the break.
Giannis trying to get his way but Gordon giving him a little bit of a shoulder but Najee, he's learning the hard way.
Giannis, definitely his first full season he's really been doing a good job but for Giannis he's sometimes in the first half really lets the game come to him when he moves the ball.
Every time he's on the attack, you're seeing what he's doing right now.
I think Fletcher Flay would appreciate that, I imagine he would.
Giannis, looking for something and feeds it back out, it's into the corner, Alcantara's corner, firing up.
Posting up against Tanchar, gives it right back, cash money, all cash on that shot, he's in double figures now with 10.
Three point shot.
Now with a chance to tie or take the lead, Chris feeding Giannis, that worked as well.
Works in that direction too.
For Giannis, I mean it's a special match but to not have him out there of course is a bummer
and it's as much to see them compete as it is to see nice group from Giannis.
I think as it really makes teams pay when they would go under and they'd stay off them and they kind of build a wall like they do to Giannis.
But I've been impressed so far because I do think
After knocking down his first three point make, Giannis going for it.
And he's got 13.
A huge step through move for two.
Connection is back.
It's going to be a lot of fouls but Chris, you can see under playing kind of a zone.
Great connection with Giannis, they seem to always have that chemistry.
Out to PC, how about a perfect five for five.
Much more.

Jeff Green is the guilty party on this drive.
Giannis will have a free throw coming after this timeout.
There's one thing that's for sure.
When Giannis is out there, he's going 1,000%.
Lifts it off to Joe Ingles.
Gave Joe a wide open look and he says thank you immediately after that pass.
I just love that combo.
Joe is always the willing passer trying to get Giannis the ball.
He is a load down there.
He had a heck of a game in the last matchup.
30 points, but rebound.
That looks like an all-star captain to me.
Double figures for Duarte in four of the last five games
and since the Milwaukee game, if you will.
Pat Connaughton, another three.
He starts out two for two.
Here to begin with as Pat Connaughton brings down another rebound.
Seeing Pat fly in there, playing some four spot.
Had himself a nice move in the post by Giannis.
Miles Turner matched up, but he's telling everyone he's got his rhythm
and he can have his way here tonight.

Picking up where they left off in the first quarter.
Coaches are down their backs saying,
you've got to be here, we're going to run through everything,
but I'm going to get out here and I think that does.
It gives you confidence.
You know you put the work in.
Cutting Javon.
Give the assist here to Giannis.
Remember the first half that he had, 25 points.
It was perfect nine for nine.
Ended up with a career high that day in Milwaukee.
It was MLK Day.
Giannis gets another bucket.
Yeah, and Drew in his casual Drew Holiday fashion
was kind of pointing at Joe like, he did it.
You're the best.
Giannis, and that is his response.
Knocking down the jumper.
You're not good enough.
You can't do it.

Pacers have made their first six field goal attempts
in this quarter.
They leave Giannis wide open.
He's got two three-point makes here tonight.
Yeah, that's possession where, to be honest,
he's that far down the lane.
You think about should you be just taking a foul on him,
but to contest and keep the game moving, probably smart.
Grayson Allen over to Giannis.
Yeah, you think about that 45-point quarter,
a 40-point quarter,
there's no question that's a nice attack by Giannis.
He's got 27.
And turnover.
Grayson Allen pushing it.
Giannis.
You're playing, this is what you see.
He raises up and he palms that ball like that.
Credit to Grayson who knew exactly who was behind him.
You saw him glance behind him and what a great job.
Miles Turner now with four blocks on the night,
leading to this and Grayson back the other way
with the rejection.

That's not his first field goal, by the way.
He's got a 20-point game here already.
You can see he's got that nice touch.
And to be honest, those aren't high percentage shots.
I think the Bucs don't really mind them shooting floaters.

Bucs probably don't mind that.
