Siakam has to kick it back out. Tatum comes up with the steal.
Tatum, bounce pass. Brown for two.
Off the bench. Here's that break earlier. Bounce pass. Big flush.
Jalen Brown.
Tatum. All right. Walker, Walker.
All right. Cut to Williams. Oh!
And Kevin Walker is officially a Boston Celt.
Kevin Walker going into his bag. Hits a time lord.
Bro's time for one second.
And pounces on Julius Randle.
Trying to get downhill against Lopez. On the drive by.
Started 0 for 5. Did he let it get him down?
Look at that adjustment.
Looking for Tatum. Gets it in. Tatum takes it.
A lot of fun. No question. Look at this shot.
I mean, no space to work.
They gave him a three. It was a two.
But look at Jason Tatum. Wastes no time at all.
And he's being more reactionary.
Walker driving by Washington. Gets his first two.
Finally.
Use your speed. Gets by Washington all the way to the cup to get his first hoop.
Manufactures some stuff, right?
Brad Wanamaker getting ready to come in for the Celtics here in the next dead ball.
Walker. Nice fake.
Got it. Three.
Walker the crossover. Pull back. Three-pointer.
That's good. Broadcasting his first year at Kansas.
You have to be good friends.
Best coach. You play for him. Best coach I ever got to play for.
My goodness. Green. Holy smokes. With the money green.
Kemba Walker with eight to shoot.
Walker drives. Pulls back. Falling away. That's good.
Kemba Walker puts the Celtics up five.
The Warriors were down five. Now lead five.
Walker.
Thrift Raid. Kemba Walker with a clutch three-pointer.
That's a big shot. That's a big shot by Kemba Walker.
Right now, Celtics absolutely rolling it.
Time Lord throwing it down.
Good play by Smart and good read by Time Lord.
Throw it up. Throw it up.
Time Lord rides his up, freezes time, and throws it down.
No shot. No shot.
Throw it down, young fella. Throw it down.
Time Lord strikes again.
And enjoy. Kemba Walker throws it up and Time Lord once again.
Getting major minutes tonight.
Trevante Green going baseline.
Lobs it up with a big fella. Again. And a foul.
Look. There's the play. Throw it up. Look at this.
Wow.
Look at that.
Get a little bit more time than anticipated.
It'll be interesting to see what they do.
Kemba Walker.
A free. Walker's second three-pointer of the game.
Tatum drives. George right there.
Tatum gets a wide-open look and knocks it down.
Jason Tatum ties the game.
Well, the inbounders, Grant Williams, who they trust late game.
So Marcus Smart just hands off.
I wouldn't mind seeing that again.
Like, they're making that live.
Oh, nice play.
Simple flex offense for Ogilvy.
Good pass by Marcus Smart.
He goes six or seven hours just passing out turkeys.
It's just amazing.
Walker.
And the foul. Kemba Walker again.
Got to be crafty. No angles.
Protect himself from the defender by putting him under the rim.
Guy battles, and he was well-schooled at Virginia
with his head coach, Tony Bennett.
Kemba Walker from downtown.
To left to make that, and how about Kemba?
You think initially he's going to take that first shot.
He feels the weight.
Want to make it?
A little late.
Williams is there for the flush and the foul.
On the catch, and look at him just spring up.
Dunk on whoever wants to challenge him at the rim.
He is so athletic, so bouncy.
Good hard finish.
That's going to hurt your percentage a little bit
when you start looking at your defensive numbers.
Boston has its largest lead.
Brown to the rim.
And look at this. Just great.
Leading the break, taking his time, surveying the floor.
Oh, Malik B, what are you doing?
Get out of the way.
Whose baby is that?
Someone get that baby out the street.
Great finish by Jalen Brown.
Look at that head at the rim.
Trying to go back to turn, stripped.
Oh, nice pass.
Take a look, Mike.
Off the transition.
There's Kemba Walker driving.
Dumps it late.
And Jalen Brown with a 360 jam.
Expect him to make the next one.
So that's something about him.
He's been working on his shot.
The basket counts.
There's nothing to say except smooth.
That's Kemba's game.
What do you make of what they've done since that time?
Well, I thought the demand early on in there.
I like it.
These guys are legit star players.
Brad Stephens is not afraid to try to get the defense not set to defend.
There's Walker on the wing.
Little side pick and roll with Tice.
Gets off the three.
Doesn't need much space.
That's Kemba Walker.
Forces defense not to be locked and loaded to defend him.
Comes off the screen so the big guy is not there.
And a price to be paid.
Kemba.
He's had 26 points in that first half off of Detroit turnovers.
Walker.
Big follow by Tice.
Going against Bruce Brown.
When you take the block out of the way,
then it's anybody's basketball up top.
And Tice had a running start.
Stripped as he tried to go back up with it.
Kemba Walker.
Jalen Brown.
Tice for a score and a foul.
Now with their biggest lead.
They've scored seven straight.
Steve Mikhailuk called for the foul.
Couple of assists.
Lay it down to 44% shooting.
Two or three blocks.
Yes.
Over the top.
It's one to make it to Brown.
Great pass.
Batum turned his head.
Lost where the ball was.
Kemba Walker all the way.
What a take.
And he puts it down.
Kemba Walker adjusting and finishing in midair.
Just goes, takes the contact,
and just able to float it up with the right amount of English.
Okay, Kemba, up there with the trees.
I see you.
Let's go back.
This is the end of the first quarter.
This is what turned it around right here for the Celtics.
Smart for three.
Walker.
A little dance.
Man goes by.
Knocks down a three.
Look at this.
The iso.
This is a tough matchup for Percent.
He does the best he can, but.
Inside Smart.
Cannon to the basket.
Broke it down with authority.
Look at Marcus Smart in the post.
Goes quick baseline.
And Cantor cuts to the front of the rim.
Here comes Young.
Celtics don't have a foul to give.
Watch out for the three.
There it goes.
It's blocked by.
Defense, Mike.
Look at Daniel Tice moving his feet.
There's the space.
There's a long outstretched arm.
Now here's where it gets a little crazy.
He threw that away.
On the run come the Celtics.
He just exploded.
Watch this.
Right here, he's.
You see Sato right there made an executive decision not to challenge.
No whistle.
Easy break here for Sadransky.
Good block by Tatum.
Being the follow.
Good block by Cannon.
Great hustle.
Well, first of all, let's go back to the hustle.
Jason Tatum sending it back.
Signature shoe.
He said, I never thought I would ever have my own signature shoe.
But if you work hard, you won't believe in yourself.
The wildest dreams can come true.
And that colorway he's got on.
The black iridescent zoom.
Let's see the officials talking with each other.
Buffalo able to put it home.
Marcus Smart, who had an extraordinary game the other night with 11 free
pointers, has checked in.
Hits Edward.
Wide open.
Ogele with the rebound.
And Smart comes across.
Smart into the lane.
But behind the back for Cannon.
The bounce.
Wow.
Side to where he wants.
Left hand.
What a beautiful pass.
And that's what Dwight Howard will make you do.
Get very creative and invent a move.
Brad Stevens going with his starting unit.
Jaden Brown toss up.
Brown with 11 points.
Three.
Boston.
This is how you attack a shot blocker.
Hello.
Welcome back.
We know you've been hurt.
Looks like you got some rest.
Jaden Brown.
That's awesome.
Michael, watch Green.
And Green just finishes it off.
Watch him slide by.
Just leans by that arm to get the shot away.
The reason he was late getting up the court is because Walker was down on the
other end and he went over and picked up Walker.
Took off for the hoop and got two.
Up the middle.
Bounce pass Haywood.
Oh, look at that.
Look at this play by Marcus.
And Tatum.
Watch this.
Takes the lone defender out of the play with a little fake.
He's going to shoot the ball.
Passed off his own head.
Poinier trying to lay it down.
Does so to Berger.
Gets bent at the rim by Tice.
I think that was Grant.
Was it Grant?
Might have been both.
Grant Williams on this play.
Comes over.
Vertical.
Get that.
Give it to Folsom.
Set the offense.
It's just him going to the basket.
Boston the other way.
Daniel Tice goes up.
Get it out of here.
Markel both in.
Javante Green with the elevation to double pump and throw it down
with your right hand.
Up, down, and.
Good hands and he plays either the glass or the swiss shot a little floaty.
Walker on the blow by.
Got right by Williamson.
Move right here.
First of all, he's accustomed to playing wing people or power forward
or a center.
Jimmy Butler.
Always a presence defensively.
Up top.
Hayward hammers it home on the lob from Marcus Smart.
Stay spread.
Here's Gordon Hayward.
8-0 run put together by the Warriors.
All eight points by Russell.
Nice move here by Walker.
Point lead coming up.
The American Express halftime report.
Rennie, Kenny, Charles, and Shaq.
It was interesting looking at the numbers.
They have only one win on the road against an over 500 team.
Oh, Jason Tatum.
Bring that smoke.
This is just a great move.
I beat you on my shoulder.
The rotating man could not get there in time.
And I'm going strong.
I'm going to use my form.
Hayward finds Wanamaker.
Back up.
Gordon Hayward.
Gets inside.
Shot's good.
And a foul.
How he's feeling this year, you're seeing him at his best.
Now, he said a week ago.
Butchavich low pass, though, and a turnover.
That's their 15th turnover.
Let me tell you that.
Tatum to Brown.
He just thought that.
He got hit at the other end.
Now, this is just a great move by Brown to the basket.
We've seen the explosion of Tatum, Brown, and Hayward once they get below the foul.
All-star Saturday night presented by State Farm starting at 8 Eastern time here on TV.
That counts as a foul.
Kemba Walker.
The NBA All-Star Game presented by KIA.
And that man, Kemba Walker, will be in the starting lineup.
Austin lead is down to two.
Tatum on the drive.
He puts it down.
Good hands by Harrell in that catch on the throw-ahead pass.
Just staying active in there.
The big fellow.
And this is where Kemba Walker is tough.
He shoots that shot coming off those picks at full speed stops.
He's able to knock that three.
Walker met by Shammott.
Oh, what a move by Walker.
Breaking ankles.
And then knocks it down.
Kemba just drives hard here in the second to get Shammott moving his feet.
Ooh, like you said, breaks some ankles, drops him off, and knocks down that three.
One minute remaining.
Second overtime.
Williams puts the speed up.
Blocked from behind by Haley.
And last touch by Lou Williams.
Play gets beat.
Stays on Williams and knocks it off the glass.
And it just runs off Lou Williams' shoulder.
Celtic ball.
Here's Marcus Smart.
Nice pocket pass to Daniel Tice.
Send it in, young fella.
Smart coming off.
There's the behind-the-back pass to Tice with a hammer dunk.
Good one to Minnesota.
We'll be back.
Under six.
Tatum throwing it down.
That's where you hit it.
Celtics.
Oh, Beasley tried to attack the rim.
Tice met him.
Play.
Step behind.
Doesn't matter.
Recovery.
Blocks the dunk at the rim.
They cannot inbounds the ball.
Just pull the timeout.
Tatum hit the rim on the miss intentionally.
Loose ball.
Brown for the tie.
Just like you say, all teams do it differently.
Harden almost had that.
This is a great pressure shot by Brown.
That was a terrific shot under that situation.
His second three-pointer of the ballgame.
And the most important shot for the Celtics,
who had suddenly gone cold in the final quarter.
Now, you see how Harden missed that rebound?
See, that's the guy who was supposed to cut off the shot.
I'd be surprised if this level of shooting lasts for very long.
And a steal.
Brown will take it in.
Oh, 360.
Brown with a little extra sauce.
The other end.
They're sixth in the league in steal.
Jalen Brown.
Jumper from Levert comes up short.
Allen with the board.
And a reload.
Jared Allen.
Oh, rejected at the rim by Smart.
Right on cue.
Offensive plays you'll see.
This is a guard going up and meeting Jared Allen at the rim.
Tremendous play.
Ahead to Sexton.
Drives to the basket.
Great block.
Finds Tatum.
Tatum.
Good steal by Daniel Tyson.
Jason Tatum, man, he is getting so good at finishing.
Smart looking to drive on the baseline.
Comes up on the other side.
Throws up off the glass for two.
Of course he makes that one.
Because that's what he's all about.
