Loose ball foul underneath and that's gonna go against Boston team fouls here
Harden uses the Embiid screen

Then in here
Not gonna make it to the scorer's table up on time

Doris to get into their action. There's no question about it. And there's no doubt. That's not even close. Nope
the 76ers
battled back
Jokic bangs in a Booker flicks it up and it goes
the chest great concentration and finish
Grant I'm running out of things to say about Jokic and what we're seeing from him
49 points three-point play
And again number five on Booker. He's got to be careful boy tough pass. They turn it over Porter
Can a fire transition three eight and get a piece?
And now the officials blow the whistle underneath
Loose ball foul by Aiton is more than enough to distract a shooter in that situation
By the way, I stand corrected Jokic 51 points for Denver
206 left around waves off the Aiton screen
Wants to take Gordon elevates
too much
It's a five-point game
As we move inside of two minutes in regulation Murray
Jokic
Mystic Gordon on his stick back
one possession game
Booker
They get it to Durant six to shoot. Here comes KD little contacts for both teams down the stretch
fantastic fifth personal
What a game for this has been
Sons
Nuggets
Game five of this series back in Denver on Tuesday night. Will it be 2-2 or will Denver have a chance to end the series?
This is Murray. They run the same two-man action gonna reset
Back to Murray on the dive steps back. Got it
And that pass right there leading Murray into his shot
Executing and Murray with that tough fadeaway as well those two just seem to be planned on a higher level
Back to a one possession lead for Phoenix Booker
skips it
Tapped out who wants it and the officials say last touch by Denver
Michael Malone has his challenge and he's gonna use it right here
Obviously Phoenix having difficult to guarding these two here in this fourth quarter both teams are out of vows
Nuggets have scored on seven of their last nine trips Murray
now to Jokic
He turns it over
Wow
Whistle blown and now the officials are gonna say jump. It's a rarity to see Jokic cough it up in that kind of a spot
Jokic and Aiden to jump
Aiden got a hand on it Warren controls
Nuggets quickly trying to foul
Warren to try to make this a five-point lead
Denver's gonna try to go quickly. Maybe call a timeout here
Advance the ball set up your defense try to get a steal right away in the backcourt
If not, you're gonna have to foul if you're Denver
High drama here at Phoenix Nuggets looking for one last gasp Jokic extends misses at the cup
Aiden clears and
Denver is in trouble
For the sons of Durant knocks these both down. It's a three possession game with 13.7 left questions being asked of Phoenix
They are seconds away from making this a festive three series. We certainly hope not over the next couple of days
We want to see great players play, but yes a suspension pushing a fan
Something to think about if you're Denver Jokic getting a quick to eight seconds
He had it in game four against, Minnesota
Ended in a loss scoring having a great game on the offensive end
But Denver's at their best and it's a collective effort if they didn't get tonight
quick to at the other end for Caldwell Pope
But Denver runs at a clock
the Phoenix Suns
Have picked themselves up off the mat
David but interesting to see coming down the stretch in a one-point game
Seeing Lonnie Walker for the Lakers and Moses Moody for the Warriors. You never know
Gotta stay ready Lonnie Walker guarded by Curry Walker pull up
LeBron who the go-to guy for the Lakers is Ronnie Walker the fourth

LeBron James makes it a two-point Laker lead with 119
17 for 17 at the free-throw line tonight
LeBron James
18 and a three-point game
We can set the pick that has been their most successful play for whatever reason they've gone away from making Davis
Defend pick and rolls here in the second half Curry's got a 31 point triple double Moody guarding Schroeder
Clock ticks under 50 to go LeBron James long three
Reeves comes over Austin Reeves with a loose ball foul
First of the last two minutes next one. We'll put the Warriors at the line
No fouls to give either way curry dancing with Davis lost the handle keeps the dribble tend to shoot
Curry doing it himself here one foot fade away
Tipped by Wiggins another chance for Golden State
Hurry along three. He missed it and now the Lakers misses this first one
Throw shooter
85 to 86 percent on the season
But it's Stephen Curry. He's made a lot of those in his career
Lonnie Walker
Steve Kerr takes the time out
Three points in his playoff career that started with the Spurs last two games
He's got 27 Lonnie Walker at 12, which was a playoff career high in game three. He's
Added another career high here now two questions here for the Lakers. What are you switching on and off the ball?
Three
It's a jump up particularly Lonnie Walker and Austin Reeves
They've got to stay with those guys Davis and it's in the hands of curry who falls down
He just throws it up in the air. It's a desperation
By curry, but the Warriors let's remember no timeouts either
So somebody if they get a steal has simply got to throw it at the rim James finds Reeves ball
Game over the Lakers come storming back in game four
And now up 3-1 in this best of seven
The best fourth quarter team of the NBA the Lakers and he's been relatively quiet
But we know the last two plays and baskets
He can get it going in a heartbeat
Barrett short on a three-ball hard to stop the offensive rebound
Brunson right now has one defender. They said a second defender the last time he touched it Grimes will set the screen switch
Brunson. Oh what a skip pass
Forces a turnover now Miami back a chance to tie this thing up or get down one
We're down to 238 remaining
Butler is fouled by Brunson
But because of the way Jayden Brunson plays
So he's able to conserve that energy and still be fresh enough down the stretch of the game despite playing all those minutes
Butler splits a pair
103 101
The largest lead was 19 for New York, Miami led by as many as 10
Brunson swing around the perimeter Randall now gets involved on a file closes out shot clock down to four
Barrett has to make something happen the drive
It's a four-point Knicks lead Robinson ball fake a jumper
Off the mark from three-point territory and a loose ball foul on Butler
Miami over the limit
Listen, so good use of time and by the Knicks to be able to maintain the lead and some kind of presence when Robinson
Was on the bench
The Knicks are now 26 of 36 of the free-throw line. They lead by six Grimes goes down might be injured
Gets up. He's hobbling
Martin's back out for Butler
Grimes trying to stick with him
Butler
He's not right, but he just made the right play a
Minute 28 to go loop it up
Misses on the jam and Randall is there. He's double-teamed Randall needs help and the Knicks will get a timeout
It stops more importantly can get defensive rebounds
Barrett taking a lot of time
Hoffman corner because you don't have a lot of real estate to work with but you got to have that five count when it gets
To four that's when you have to make your decision
Miami very much alive a minute 12 to go here in regulation 107 101 Knicks

Jumper it's a three off the rim. No Grimes hits the deck
Butler trying to grab the ball and it's a tie-up Grimes was banged up. We'll see if it affects his lift
The Knicks get it initially
Knocked around to Miami and Lowry
Almost turns it over on that pass Butler hits the deck and a lot of contact
It was Brunson who ended up on top of Jimmy Butler
25 seconds on the clock. Well, let's

Back into the arms of Brunson
Brunson seeing the two defenders Barrett trying to attack Lowry on the steal Lowry the flickerhead
Struce to the rim. No, but a foul and Max Bruce who's gonna shoot to
Driving that closeout from Julius Randle. It was so interesting talking with Tom Thibodeau
Eleven points nine assists four rebounds
Well, you could talk about Kyle Lowry skill set and all the things he does really well on a basketball court
But deeper you get in the playoffs. You also need super competitive guys and super intelligent guys and Kyle Lowry is that?
Seven
six point lead for Miami
Brunson into the corner hard at three air mailed it Robinson couldn't get to it at a bio the rebound
Miami controls
At a bio able to break the timeline and now Miami will take a timeout
Struce catch fire
In and out Randle flies back to the rebound and here's an opportunity for the Knicks
facing elimination
Brunson has been terrific
Grimes
130 to go back into the arms of Brunson. He'll let it fly
Can't knock it down Robinson the rebound and is found on the flick out or you have help behind you
But ultimately you just don't want him to have the ball
You see the free-throw struggles for Robinson this season
It is nervously hoping
For a late-minute miracle as Robinson gives them one hitting both free throws
It's a base hit in the box score
90 to 86 Miami in front
112 to go Butler traps finds Vincent Vincent on the attack
for Miami
Here's Brunson off the handoff Brunson through the lane
Can't come in in no whistle at a bio the board and a foul against, New York. Oh
And you're gonna have an offensive foul here
Vincent is called for the personal as he
Gave a shot to Brunson
And the ball back it could be a potential five-point swing that could be a season
resuscitating call
for the Knicks as Brunson
Hits the first here it is again
With a little bit of that wind up and the contact up top deemed unnecessary
Brunson hits the first
And the second runs in the inbound gets it to Randall gets it right back
Brunson bounces underneath and hard lays it in it's a two-point game
What a swing
Nick's facing elimination the heat trying to punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals
40 seconds to go Butler loves these moments Butler elevates
Nick's fall down to one timeout remaining a
10-second difference game in shot clock if you are the heat you do not want to give up a three at any cost Brunson
Spinning Brunson leaning shoveling into traffic. He turned it over
Brunson turned it over and Butler is found
Good job of just into that and the Knicks have just struggled to get quality shots off that unless it's Brunson
Butler makes it a two-possession lead
rolling down
It's have to go in a hurry Grimes corner three
Airballs, it's truce the rebound and with 11.5 to go to the Eastern semis
Thanks to that man the heat in 8c on the brink of the conference finals and screws hits a boat
Racing up the floor will jam it in
41 points for Jalen Brunson
Strews gets it ahead. Here is Vincent
Hosting up maxi for to shoot tough fall away shot
Marcus smart for his third field goal off shot big time shot by smart
Here's what I'm talking about force feeding Joel and be the first time was a play to Harris this time you see three Celtic jerseys around
extra pass
alcohol
Harris picks up the foul two fouls on Harris. He's confused at the call
Big part of the turnaround after the Celtics fell behind by nine
usual attack mode
Pull up jump shot well defended by Tucker Brown thought it was some contact
Goes the other way slips it into one be
orphans done an excellent job on Joel and be
Strip like smart down low on the double team and then a kickball by a B the basketball not allow them to play
It was Orford that actually got the strip the 36 year old how for me
Mark with seven to shoot
Into the hands of Tatum and beat on him
winding down Tatum off the bounce gets inside
Doesn't settle which is so crucial
At some point James Harden has got to take the pressure off with Joel and beat by looking to create some office
Finds Tucker wide open Tucker can't hit Robert Williams with the rebound
Boston right now plus two
Tatum finding some space
swerving around and be
Step back three-pointer got it flips it up shop won't go but a foul and indeed with a second person
Another step is he's reading deep into so well
35 points and we still have over seven and a half to go in the third quarter
Highest scoring playoff game in Celtics history John Havlicek at 54
Maxi looking actually had a little burst in the second quarter
Tatum knocks it away pocket to and he's gonna have to hoist it
24-second violation more with the defense from the Boston Celtics
How's the time the Sixers need to keep their poise here mark? It's the Celtics defense. That's disrupting
nine turnovers for
Philadelphia only five for Boston on Maxie shoots over shot. No good
James Huggs got a big school. He's got to get downhill and think school every time he's turned the corner. It's the pass out
Harris tries a corner three that misses
They're now seven of 22 from three-point range
They were eight for 34 in game six
Jalen Brown got it
16 for Brown
Celtics by a dozen MP
Blocked by Harper his third block of the game
Then it's Celtic ball in this place a roughing right now
Getting it done against the MVP of the league
And we talked about there's a lot of elite individual defenders as Tatum
