...on the road at Phoenix, and they gave up a big lead in that game, but then came back.
AD on the reverse! How about that live boogied AD!
Over the top. Oh, man.
Oh, my goodness!
And what about Cousins' response?
This is not the All-Star Game.
They only have four made threes compared to ten.
Now that they've blocked, and a follow by a big guy.
Boogie Cousins timed it beautifully.
He put on a show down there in Denver.
And in the beginning of the year...
And Vinny. Jokic is going way to Vinny.
I've seen this somewhere before.
Cousins, AD, yes!
Why not?
And they've been outscored by 16 points.
And Alvin Gentry wants one of them to be on the floor at all times.
Here's Davis running to break. Gets it back!
Throws it down!
Cousins has played here with the Pelicans.
He's from Mobile, Alabama.
It's been his first six-plus seasons with Sacramento.
Another terrific pass.
Oh, Nick is furious. He thought he was fouled.
Oh, I bet you killed Clifford's furious too.
Anthony Davis.
That was furious.
After this, day off, and then the Spurs-Cousins crossover
all the way to the cup and the foul!
You like the way he lowered that dribble?
Man, with the pat-pat.
I like the reaction from Gasol too.
Big eyes like, whoa!
What am I supposed to do with that?
Jordan Crawford will wait.
Lull him to sleep. Give it to the big guy.
AD with a poster!
That's not a foul?
So hard looking.
And looking for contacts is what they're looking for.
Backdoor run, Beverly.
Cousins blocks it away.
And Tim Frazier.
18! Get out of the way!
I said he's not having any fun.
And it wasn't close.
It will. Three at the buzzer.
Got it!
Good recognition by DeMarcus Cousins.
And a real good look.
Cousins, right by Love.
Oh, Anthony!
Saw that coming, and I think Cousins liked it more.
Cousins.
Crossover on for Reed on the spin.
Come on, big man.
Stop that.
You're not supposed to do all that at that size.
And he gave him everything.
Smart play. Nobody put a body on him.
He almost got it away from DeMarcus Cousins.
Strength to boogie.
Oh, the reverse dunk!
Triples for the Pels.
Got it down to Tim.
It'll be Cousins.
And he hammers it on Lopez.
And now the finger rolls around here.
Back at it.
Spiked away.
Nobody said anybody was playing volleyball around here.
Anthony Davis thinks it's beach volleyball.
Over four.
18 for three.
Top break.
Now in the run out.
Blocked away by DeMarcus Cousins.
Rob Anthony Davis just twists it around
and hammers one home.
Mid-range is where he excels.
DeMarcus doing a great job.
AD out.
He'll go for it.
Davis, good catch.
And flushes it down.
Great, great screen by Rodman.
Then a deep one now. 15 points.
It'll be Cousins.
And he's going higher to the hole.
That, I'm not looking for.
Should've brought it back down, but it shouldn't have.
Yeah, you want to make sure you get the, uh...
Yeah.
It's contagious.
Cousins into those shots.
Fairmont reinforced that miss.
They're looking for transition.
The call and an up fake.
Going hard and good dive.
Cousins got him.
Nick's active defensively.
Jack throws it a heart away.
Shot blocked from Davis.
Comes running down the floor.
So it's his third bucket on his third try.
He's got eight.
Hominink with Cousins.
And on the spin.
Big time move by Boogie.
Yes.
Jameer pulled up three.
And Boogie hammers it on the run.
Energy-wise, didn't he?
Picture's worth a thousand words.
When that picture is moving,
it's got to be worth more than that.
A million?
Immediately.
One point game.
How mobile will he be tonight?
What a move.
AD.
What a hammer on Jokic.
Now 20-8.
Cousins behind his back.
Going to the rack.
What do you do with this?
Behind the back end.
In the third.
After only six over the first.
Two quarters of play.
Take it.
On Ed Davis.
On a few stations.
On the local news tonight.
Starters scoring that many points.
Again.
Cousins second time.
Attacking the closeout.
Throw the hammer.
AD will get it.
Borzingas is there.
AD ties it up.
He's loving this.
Cousins.
How about that spin?
He's going to the line.
Looking for the three-point play.
When you have a team scrambling like this,
it's hard to help.
And right now,
if he's putting his head down
and he's determined to get to the basket,
my goodness,
I'm not sure what you do with that.
Stay out of the way.
Average for the season,
so you're not going to get it.
AD hammers it.
Ron Benton.
Up against his brother,
trying to break it off on a step back.
Benton.
Cousins took it away from Lopez.
Gave up the dribble early.
Over the top.
Yes!
From DeMarcus Cousins.
She's now a dime away from a triple-double.
We talk about hustle at the beginning of the telecast.
That's what it's all about.
Cousins on the crossover to set it up,
and Holiday gets the triple.
He's got it out.
AD set the pick for him.
Don't need a three.
How about a lob?
Yes!
Over the shoulder.
By DeMarcus Cousins.
They've been running this for a while now
and have great chemistry,
great timing,
great understanding.
Now on the switch.
And bogey a move.
Hammers it.
Three-point game.
Clock a little bit too.
Holiday into the paint.
AD's there for the...
That was something else.
That was one of those,
wow, what you don't forget.
Over the top.
Anthony Davis from DeMarcus Cousins.
Good to see for those two.
Olynyk now deep into the clock.
On the move, Ellington.
Locked away by Anthony Davis.
Saved by Rajon Rondo.
Talk about teamwork.
So did McCollum.
He was all over him.
Now Cousins trying to lose Nurkic.
And does it off the glass.
Guy that went to his fifth All-Star game
in Los Angeles recently.
AD sizing him up.
And on the crossover.
See you later!
M1 mixtape right there.
At least he maintained his balance.
Cousins do.
Good look.
Three.
Got it!
Back in it at 114-112.
Dennis Smith Jr.
Rondo back on the floor.
And a clear path for DeMarcus Cousins.
Hard, hard to the hole.
Time out.
Rick Garland.
And Randle jumped the route.
Now you gotta stop the ball.
Lanzo ball.
Blocked away by Anthony Davis.
Now Cousins will get it up again.
Bismack Miyambo.
He's out of control.
And Putney goes to the line.
A little bit of a three-point play.
From deep.
Five seconds left in the frame.
Davis will heave.
And it's hit!
That's a buzzer!
This game by as many as 12.
Four ties and four lead changes.
Cousins another three.
Would have gone and tried to block the shot and play basketball
rather than fall down and hope you get a whistle.
Good point.
Davis, nice take inside.
Gotta go.
And he will.
It'll work.
His team is, when they take care of the basketball, they're tough.
AD on the run out.
Hollis Jefferson got away with it all.
Into the shot clock for Boogie.
And he knows it.
He's over Marvin Williams on the step back.
Sweet.
34-26.
Struggled.
Cross-courts to Moore.
Who has been sharp.
Anthony Davis has been brilliant.
Buries another.
Shot clock coming down.
And he knows it, so it's going up.
He got contact.
And he's got it off the window.
Gotta hurry.
He's got AD.
He's going to take it.
A difficult one.
Got it!
Unreal.
Pressure on.
Into the shot clock.
Still deep.
Yeah, real deep.
It'll be Cousins.
And he's going to the line looking for the three-point play.
Possession for the Bells.
Down by two.
Two possessions, that is.
Anthony Davis on a step back.
Money.
Still a four-point game.
He's got a five to play.
The double.
Bogey.
Still going up.
And he's going to the line.
Cousins.
Good ball fake.
The lob to Davis.
It moves to the alley.
And Steve Kerr will take a timeout.
Meritage wants the triple.
You can see that coming.
And Cousins with AD.
How about that?
AD with a soft hit.
Meant to be sometimes.
And that's trying to stay in the race.
Bogey on the tip.
And he's going to the line with a smack by Jokic.
Got the switch.
Ben.
What a pass.
AD finally gets a shot.
108-102.
He's in the short corner.
Cousins for three.
Yes!
It's all even.
Real break for Denver.
How about that pass?
Bogey saw it all the way.
NBA.
Slow start for the Pals.
Yet they're only down by five.
Shooting 31% over the top.
DeMarcus.
Good high low.
Now, close and on the block.
Good spin.
Cousins on the revulsion.
He's going to the line.
Trey Lyle's feeling pretty good about himself now.
And blocked away by Anthony Davis.
That kind of gimmick.
That was inside the leather.
82-79.
Cousins.
How about that scoop?
Taking it hard.
Cousins with the left hand.
Won't get the roll.
AD will follow it.
Going to the line.
But you've got to get up and get into it.
And Nelson leaves it off.
Bogey for three.
Unbelievable.
Seven-point lead.
