#ATTSlamDunk
Slot cut by James. Oh, he rose up. It's not quite winter for LeBron James.
Michael Wilbon and Jalen in the studio. A slot cut and driving to the hoop with malicious intent.
Mid-air pyrotechnics from the 38-year-old. Remember the lack of sharpness down the
stretch for Boston in game five. Different story so far here. Holford again, missed it,
and a stick back. Tatum, devastating. Well, the pinpoint passing, the spacing,
all of those things in the play as to why. Coming the other way, bad right hand and all,
the trailing Bane wide open free. I gotta ask you, where did John Morant come from?
I mean, with all the other big bodies in the paint, it's the littlest player on the floor
with the putback. And again, speed, speed kills. Get the shot for Bane, and the follow.
15 points now. Cut Morant to 17 in the first quarter in game three, and it was huge.
A screen by Love, a drive by Jimmy Butler. Performance already with 11. Giannis has got
seven. And just like that, the Heat down by 12. Now, trail by...
Tell you what, he's turned the hands of time back. Davis!
Been on point. They have gone to this play. This time, it's sort of semi-transition.
Driving, closeouts, getting to the paint, and knocking down a deep three-pointer on that last
possession. Sixers are out of fouls. Johnson teeing off. Puts it down. That was vicious.
As Harris is whistled for contact, and he knew Embiid was coming. Glanced at him as he was going
downhill. Confrontation at the rim. It's a little quick dunk right there by Johnson.
Last possession of the third quarter. Morant splits it. Morant! Finish at the rim!
They will take a look to make sure he got it off in time.
Levert the other way. Mitchell still trying to get into the act.
17-footer. Off the front. Outlet pass. Topping ahead of the field. And the windmill.
John lost it in traffic. And back the other way. Three on one. LeBron
taking center with his chest. Memphis, flight six. Ready for takeoff.
Points, games, minutes in the playoffs. It's year 20. It doesn't look like it, Mark.
Oh, come on. Here's Butler. Inside. Out of bio. Wham! With the right hand.
I love the aggressiveness. That's what you got to do with a shot blocker.
Got his own rebound. Strip. Gordon. No call. He's an explosive foul four in the game there.
Great body control in the finish. On top, Johnson. Rearranging.
Taunting. Right here. Here's the dunk. Particularly, we got Mitchell Robinson back
there to protect the basket. Runs it. Back up top to Randall. Randall goes down!
Booker scored the last eight points for Phoenix. And it's a two-point game.
And Russell Westbrook! A double team stolen by Harden.
For Sacramento, all off the turnovers. And just two loose right now. Golden State with their-
Harden. His 31st career playoff double-double.
Interesting that Fox makes the steal. They got a two-on-one with Murray. Fox ranging up! Oh,
he's flying charter! De'Aaron Fox with the punch and a timeout. Golden State.
If you're Steve Kerr, you are frustrated by the number of turnovers, Mark. They're careless.
They're sloppy. And what's it leading to? A lot of this. The king's at the cup. Oh, swipe.
Run on the floor and is rewarded. And now the Suns up six. Westbrook! And packs it down!
Strong fetish by Russell Westbrook. Westbrook has been attacking the rim all series long. Great
dunk there. Shot clock at one. Fumbled away. Strews can't find it. Giannis does,
and the other way he comes. He's only played actually 11 minutes over the last couple of
weeks. Harden with the drive! And he jackhammers it in. What a start here for Milwaukee.
Giannis going baseline. Another spin move gets right around Strews for the finish.
That is beautiful. He's been a pest on the offensive glass of a boss that has dominated
the boards overall in this first half. Oh, what a look. Free from Smart. You don't need to call
plays for him. He says that that's when you start to see a high-level player, when he's just able to
score because he's able to see the game from different angles. You don't have to draw a play.
Wes Wilcox, GM and assistant GM, did a great job putting together a roster. Green! And it requires
some patience, but look at Draymond Green. We see him do that about once or twice a game,
right? Where you're going to think, oh, he's going to do a dribble handoff instead. He just attacked.
And he's that. He's a real leader. Mobley going right at Mitchell Robinson. There you go. Gets
it back and throws it down. Moving from left to right and then was able to come right back.
The savior tonight for the Cookers. He's got 28. Lost it there. Tried to bait Mann into a foul,
gets the ball to Jimmy Butler. He just turned and shot it because the shot clock was expiring.
James, another steal. James just powers down. Bridges. Oh my goodness. With a big first half,
23 points in 19 minutes. They're going right back to the same play to pick and roll.
Smart steps in for the rebound. What a block by Tatum. Murray winning and Atlanta controls.
Celtics a 10-6 lead early on in game one. Young can't finish, but Collins
is there for the ferocious follow. Mitchell driving. Lost the ball. Good defense. Oh,
great defense. Bears Barrett on the other end. Gives it up to Toppin for the throw down.
Yeah, Toppin is usually out on the break. There's no doubt about it.
The team with the best record in the NBA post-All-Star break.
And Russell with the strip. He's another one that came over in the trade. Reeves open from three.
They're going to get home tonight at about one, and they're going to play at one on
Sunday. McLaughlin kicks out to Anderson, guarded by Christian Brown, and the other Brown with a
vicious. Just careless turnovers right there. I mean, nothing's there. Brown,
great hands, and knowing Edwards is coming, measures his steps. A little confrontation
at the rim. Brown with the rebound. Plumlee just got hurt. That pinky finger is Jimmy Butler. He's
one of those guys that when the ball's not in his hands, he is equally as dangerous as when he's
Screws missed the floater, batted around. There's Butler to clean it up inside,
and then the smash by off the Butler miss. Three and a half minutes into the third quarter of game
three. Murray's three, no good. Smart with a rebound. No passes on that possession. Just
one and done. Backdoor. Brown with the smash. Smart with the find, and the game is tied.
Kennard deflected and stolen by Reeves. Two on one break. Reeves throws it up for Davis.
Perfect timing and connection. Drawing the double. This has been what the tactic has been. Tucker
outside. Is the fan going to drive here? Anthony Melton hammering it home. Shot clock at seven.
Towns underneath. Gobert was left open. He flushes. He puts Porter on a poster,
and a chance at three. Towns, magnificent dish. Couldn't come to help,
but Towns with a beautiful dime. With Holliday on him, stripped it, and a turnover by the Heat,
and a great pass ahead to Allen with the slam. Middleton finds him in transition.
Second chance, Johnson, and he'll give it away. Harden has numbers. Harden, Perry.
With a run on that baseline by Bridges, tapped by Harden and picked up by Finney Smith.
Inside open. Plaxton over Reed. This is the first of our quadruple header today. Atlanta-Boston
coming up next. Then it's the Knicks and Cavaliers. Maxey to McDaniels. Connor,
turn around 11-footer. Brown the other way. Quickly into the front court. Speed dribble
down the leg. Here comes Prince into the paint to the cup. Green got a piece.
It almost feels like there's been almost 10 layup opportunities that they've missed
Conversely, Denver efficient in transition. In transition where they have thrived. What a
beautiful pass and finish. Selfix shooting 59 percent from the floor in this first half as
Bay soars to the rim. Big time finish from Sadiq Bay. As difficult of shots as he did in the past
because of that. The poke away by Craig. Westbrook just tossed it right to Booker.
He's got the red on a wing. Middleton is on the bench. Miami shooting 60 percent.
Vincent fouled. Count it. Send him to the stripe immediately. Look at this cut.
Edwards unable to finish at the rim. Thought he was fouled. Nuggets want to push Gordon.
After hearing Mani there, I beg to differ. Yeah, I think you're right. That's why Mani is
with the man. One of the best officials in the game and one of the best
moves and players right there. In the mid-range. Grant the body control. There's only three
countries in North America. There's only three rivalries. It has to be one of the top three.
Good help coming that time from Finney Smith. The lob in transition. Claxton sends it down.
He's knocked down seven triples for 23 points and a double-double with the assist as well.
Is he going to get another assist here? Harris. It's Alexander Walker after starting the last
couple of games back in off the bench. Jeff Green handed smash. The rest of the way.
Big blitz. Embiid shot clock at six. Milton slamming home. Hammers it in.
Right now, this lineup for Minnesota really struggling to create good looks offensively.
Murray. Nice deal. Porter. Michael Porter Jr. Michael Porter bringing the athleticism.
Put it on his head. Deferring at times where Darvin Hanna has told him, hey,
get yours. When I call a play for you, run it. No, but I love the maturity part of not
wanting to disrupt. In transition, Brooks able to hammer it home.
Inside Sabonis with a punt. Brown told Malika, we've got to go. Phoenix. Easy two off the steal.
Really good high-level championship team. Shots may not fall, but the quality of shot on a
night-to-night basis is normally the same. Decent data match. And Minnesota comes up empty.
There comes Caldwell-Polk for the basket. Missed it. Now, you know, they know the Knicks know that
Toppin will be out on the break. And that's exactly what happened. His man was nowhere in
sight. Mitchell. And that was blocked on the three-point try, but Mitchell got it back and
smashes it. Looney. Trying to patch it in. It's intercepted. Kept upstairs. About this,
a turnover in transition. Your defense is next. Sacramento, because of that.
Hachimura down the lane. Rui Hachimura, what a game. It's Mitchell the other way.
Inside. Laser throw. It's out of the Mitchell. 13 all this pass with some serious hits on it.
Mobley inside. Signed through the next two seasons as well now with Boston. Tatum the lob.
It's so good to have Robert Williams back. Kicks it. Bogdanovich yet to score in this game.
Johnson on the attack. Soars in. Jalen Johnson is an impressive finisher.
It'll probably get better as he loosens up a little bit. Spring left ankle.
Was coming, but here's a two-man game. Empty corner. The rotation is late. When you have
Thompson out. Reeves kicks it back out. Russell. Nice tape by Russell. Inside. Davis with the flush.
Beautiful setup from D'Angelo Russell. Have come on for the Lakers.
Baines tied up. Nice feed. And Jackson with the left hand.
Fox in the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. Miami in the playoffs for the fourth
consecutive year. Lopez off on the three. Butler the court link after the rebound. And Adebayo is
down. We saw Butler. We saw Bam throw it to Butler for the finish.
Roll reversal here with JB with the lead pass. And Bam Adebayo here.
So the run for the Clippers. 13-2. And Plumlee up top for the lob.
Excellent feed that time as Plumlee gets an assist from Westbrook.
When your defense is not holding court, you turn it over.
Has turned in the second quarter in Sacramento's favor.
Excellent defense right there. Young looked like he had a little bit of a glimmer of hope.
Good offensive look. Smart to Brown. Troy Craig picks up his second foul.
He strips Zubac's hooker by himself. He got Brooks to commit for a moment. High low.
Davis. Two defenders there. Cutter. James slams it down. AD to LeBron for the hammer.
Grant alluded to it. All those games of tap missed. 52 games with a tap injury. They just
haven't played a ton of basketball together. And Murray comes up with the interception
here at the start. I like his activity, Spiro. I mean, not just his shooting, but his energy.
Harden will maneuver and be with a couple of screens. They'll switch on defense. And
Claxton is there. Bridges will pick up and be in a pickpocket. Cam Thompson is one of those guys
who can score back and forth. Spectacles who hammers it home. With Paul Reed on the floor
as well for Philly. Joining Harden. Who anticipated in this new look lineup that he would be getting
a lot of catch and shoot threes. Just hasn't materialized so far. Full turnover already
Durant will finish on the other end. They had to win eight of their last ten to secure the sixth
vicious. Here's Towns. Flicks it over to Edwards. It's taken away by Brown.
Bruce Brown to the rim. Timeout Timberwolves. Bruce Brown making a beautiful read here.
Jump in the passing lane. Mobley throws it up off the backboard. Here comes Topp on the
able to guard multiple positions. There's a nice rearview block on Anthony Edwards.
Conley had it deflected. Didn't matter. Gobert. On the previous offensive possession for the
T-Wolves. Here's Conley throwing it up to Gobert. Johnson in the corner. Mills three.
On the side. Picked up by Bridges. And this team that is struggling to shoot the ball.
You're going to create free throw opportunities for them.
Eight in a rim run. Nice setup by Chris Paul. A little two-man game.
7-2 start. Butler takes it away. Two on one. Got caught in the air but hits Spruce.
Soaring to the cup and flushing it. University of Arizona math I guess. Pass a little off the
mark to Butler. And then Martin with the throw. Martin he has been outstanding. We talked about
15 points off the bench in both games. First and. Brunson a little shake and bake. Puts it
up off the glass. By Jason Tatum. Tatum. Opportunity for Boston. They can make it three.
Well first go back to Capella. Collins could have got a piece of that too but that
block led to transition. Hunter. You know you're a little bit older when you say smash too by the
way. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. And night to night it just hasn't been consistent
with his offensive game. Beautiful bounce pass Gordon. Forceful two-handed flush. And that was
an old school set right there. Even that attack there by Johnson. That was blocked by Hauser.
Great play. Outlet. Tatum. Here comes the pen. Right now they have nine offensive rebounds for
18 second chance points. Huge for the Clips. Roll to the rim. There's D'Angelo Russell probing on
top and Bain assigned him. Vanderbilt coming off of his best game. Oh they go in. A pass thrown up
there by Jared Vanderbilt. Struggles a bit with his dribble. Hurry on Fox. Whips a pass to Barnes.
Barnes with the slam. Sacramento fans. Harrison Bonds starting the game getting an easy shot.
Morris catches after the deflection. Gordon. It's off. Gordon yet to score. Leak out.
And Looney almost cracks the bonus again on the jump ball there.
Oh beautiful pass. Draymond Green. Pick up on Looney. And they get on the board first.
