The TOP Plays of Week 7 | 2025-26 NBA Season

Reeves, there he goes, Reeves, to James, kick it, corner, Rui, to win the game, Rui wins it, and James gave him the basketball. And with LeBron only having eight. Plenty of heroes, plenty of moments, plenty to talk about. Post game's coming up. We're with you again tomorrow, four o'clock, from the TD Garden, Lakers, and the Celtics. It's time now to check in with the studio for Access Sports and the Lakers, brought to you by your Toyota dealers. What a win, it's on to Boston. We'll see you tomorrow. In it comes to Tyrese Maxey, guarded by his former teammates. Tyrese Maxey to win the game. It's a good shot that held coming, but not in time. Short, and the anticipation from 7'7", first one to it, softly off the backboard, and in. And then the other end of the floor, Tyrese Maxey, sending his former teammate's shot off the backboard to seal the W. What a way to finish, my goodness. One more look at the Maxey block, on one of his closest friends. Looking. Black goes to the rim, Wagner had time, and Cornett sends it out, the buzzer, and the Spurs escape Orlando with a dub. And that's what I'm talking about, a little misdirection, and Wagner looks like he's going to have a score. Luke Cornett, out of nowhere, sending that one into the stands. Four second difference between those two clocks up there, so what will Atlanta do? Pistons by two, Cade to the basket, reverses, he hits it! That bucket. Eight and a fourth for Cade. That bucket. They had no dream on green right now. Clock running out, Pajewski on the run, yes! Bepox, doing his thing. The one leg, one foot, Bepox, put it up there. Yeah, look at the score now. Bart throws it in, Brunson turns, Brunson fires away at the buzzer. Oh, that's good! Galen Brunson, as the half ends, nails a three-pointer. Quarter ends on a positive finish, Knicks like last night, a great first period, struggle in the second. They stretch it out to, again, a two possession game, the Pistons have. Miles Turner, oh! Wisconsin feeling that one! Tabasco, some sriracha, some fire on the beef stew. My turn. Good job by Cooper Flagg, not fouling there on the Wiggins drive as he came over to help. Nice. Dimhart draws two defenders and finds a rolling Anthony Davis for an emphatic finish. Got a foul on Ryan Nimhard now. Had an assist for Ryan Nimhard before. I love the pass. And he knocks it over the top of Vucevic. Huff, with the behind it! A dime pass from Matherin. Big J. Huff, give it up! With this margin being so wide for the Jazz, would be sitting on the bench. Nice finish. Bailey gets a turnover. Watch where Ace takes off from Bullock. I mean, ten toes down. Standing on business, getting up and knocking. Three minutes into the fourth quarter. Down the middle there. Valanciunas! And the Nuggets have the lead. Good pass by Murray, draws two. Defender Johnson, he didn't really want to challenge it too much. And the bench mob, they like it. Even Jokic getting involved. Stark will bring it up. Turns the drive to the rim. Two hands this time! Two hands better than one, and Stewart can't block that. One thing we know, Sharp can rise, folks. Look at this. 1-1, you got Stew there. Stew got him a moment ago. Great speed on that pass and a really bad turnover. Slipping out of his hands on the out-of-bound possession, and then AJ, with eyes in the back of his head, drops that one off with his offhand. Jalen Dern's back in action. He has eight. Hawks go inside. Kay blocks the shot by Daniels. And on the other end, they get an easy one for Stewart. Ending efforts, look at that. Get it out of here, says Kay. And it was still climbing. He got way up to block that. Yes, he did. With that lay-in by Stew, the Pistons have nine points on the break to none for the Hawks. Billy Donovan told us before the game, he's got to go deep into his bench. Chicago, shorthanded. No Kobe White in this one. No Jalen Smith. Jalen Terry. No Zach Collins. Phillips! With the facial! Not this one, though. Right at Isaac, who's a shot blocker, but you can see he got it just in time. Quick dunk. That's exactly what it was. Regis can't finish. Porter. Cross court. Clowney, the attack! And the finish hammer! My goodness. Noah Clowney. Boom. Big time take. Catching a body. Ooh! Yeah! Body count on this one. Here's Yegor. Out to Wolfe. Wolfe with a runaway. And a throw down! Oh, that make it two house! With absolute ferocity, at Danny Wolfe to the list. Oh! I mean, there's been a lot of conversation here tonight with Miles Bridges and a handful of people. Jump shot. Way outside. Rims out. Rebound. Here comes Chiante. George Space in the paint. Oh! Flies in. Talks to the crowd. And Bowler. Watch the wind up right here. Doesn't care who's there. Jabari Smith Jr. had no chance. Chiante George with a keynote performance. She has up six. 244 left here. Nigel Hayes Davis on the floor for Phoenix. Skip it. It's a three ball for Goodwin. Oh! Ryan Dunn detonates at the rim! I'll go the other way. It all started with the energy. Ryan Dunn rides, if I should say, a high-scoring affair. Dump it down. Oh! Sis boom bop! So, a beautiful dish by Nikola Jokic putting it right in the hands of Watson. Timeout. I mean, it's a lot to say. But, you know, Oklahoma City, a few years ago, was never winning. Oh! DraftKings Casino slow-mo replay. Perfect one for slow-mo. CJ made a smart decision too. He thought about it, but then was like, you know what? I'm good. That was his hustle. It's been good. Celtics trying to take the lead. Jalen! In a quarter from down 14. Celtics up off. Scottie Tamamo right to the basket! Knock you out! Bang! Hello! Redirects. Cut off. Clock. Scottie attacking with a left-handed slam! Needs a tissue. Look at this right here. Bails him out. Back into the shot clock. See a little blow by Hello! Come on down! Posterization. A clinging right there. Showing that left hand. So it's a 20-point lead for the Thunder. Green with the rebound. And this is the energy Golden State's going to have to go past by Draymond. Taken away up top by Williams though. What a block. Beautifully rounded, executed play. This doesn't go down. Those you're okay with when you're getting that clean. And then Martin picks it! He'll take it all the way for the swipe and score! Oh! Maybe some cookies and give it to us Tyrese Martin with the bunnies? Yeah, this is pretty. And nothing changes in his impression on his face. Again, it's Kada! Climbing the ladder. Look how quick he decides to go up. And not only that, but you also have him ghosting the screen, reading that. Cam Whitmore, middle of the floor. Got his shot blocked by Hugo Gonzalez. Oh, he's an energy guy. Tristan Oh throwing it behind his back over to Riley. He gets an assist on that one. How about that, Don? It's kind of like non-existence guys dropping dimes right here. He's had Tristan throwing one right there right at the wheel of Riley. Really nice defensive position of just staying in front. Clowney. Attack mode! Clowney with the crank! Noah Clowney has been on one straight line drive. Watch out below. Already 14 points here in this first quarter. He's skying. Shot clock down to five. DeAnthony will launch a three. Kaminga! That one, you can do that! Watch this shot again. Kaminga with the inside position to start. Keeps it. Might not get those along with Middleton. They might not get those extra opportunities late in those fourth quarters as they're accustomed to. Champagney with the steal and slam! Rocking the rim and then staring at Derrick White. How did it end the foul? Got him! Champagne on the defensive end pressuring up. Chris, you called it out. That's what type of pressure you need. And then right here being rewarded by the basketball guys. J.C. tells White, I believe I can fly. Time out by the Celtics to get our Honda drive of the game. Come on, Justin. That man's got friends and families watching the game. Hey, man. You talking about hey, did you do chess today? Bam! Great move there by Champagne. Now, as they put the ball back into play a little step through. Man. A lead. The poster. You bring out the best in that guy. Reeves out by the logo. Picked by Jax. Austin with five with four. Austin trying to get inside. Not. Goes underneath. Come in! What a quarter! What a game! Everything he's throwing up is going in. I mean, he gets bumped here and bumped there and then he gets fouled and just throws it up. Making sure it's a two-point attempt. Not only is it a two-point attempt, it's a two-point basket and a chance for three. Hasn't missed a shot. Ripped away from Reeves. For Austin there, but look at Jake come from nowhere and get a piece of that shot. With the left hand. Watch it with the left hand. Without fouling. It's the right hand. Oh no, it's the right hand. He played the whole second half two nights ago. And you got him. It's Carlo. Gobert was on his wallet watching. Two-point lead. Hey, listen, man. You want to talk about a freakish athlete? Reach back and go get it, Carlo. Right, a little bit behind him. Sometimes you can be such an athlete, it doesn't even matter where the pass is. I'm going to make it work. Carlo hasn't missed tonight. That's his fourth bucket. He's got eight. It's a timeout for Chris Finch with a minute 17 to play. They lead him 36 to 30. 10 and 10 to play in the first half. Ciszoko to the basket. Way up to swat it was the shot blocker Isaiah Stewart. Remember in the Milwaukee game, Turner got a dunk on Isaiah Stewart. He said, hey, Isaiah Stewart doesn't care about that. The next guy, he's going to go up and challenge. That next guy happens right now. And boy, what a denial right there on Ciszoko. I think we're starting to get some fans howling too in addition to the Barclays Center scoreboard effects. Here comes Williams. Oh, he can win there. Having some fun on this Saturday night. Another steal for Michael Porter Jr. Over his head and then, ooh, Zion Williams with the... Bounce pass in traffic. Active hands for the Wizards. Carrington, Tristan, behind his world is Champagny. And one. Great teamwork. This is what it looks like. Champagny getting that 50-50 strip. And then the tricky Tristan behind the spine. Justin Champagny. Starting it with defense, ending it up with Champagny. Trying to get the and one. I see why they call you Tricky now, Tristan. Okay. I like that. He didn't only just go behind his back. He went behind his back on a bounce pass. Keep him touching the basketball. Good things are happening. He talks about his efficiency. He's taken only four shots. He's grabbed seven rebounds. There he goes again. And that time, it's Tyson with a vicious dunk. Not just here in Cleveland, but in the NBA. Jalen Tyson with a ferocious throwdown. Tell you what, we're seeing him do this on a regular basis. He's had 11 shots. He's played nine of them. Duncan Robinson's shot won't fall. Long rebound. To Rollins. Ahead to Porter Jr. Up trying to dunk it. Swatted by Stew. What a play. Call for the foul. Isaiah Stewart's trying to get himself together after he lands hard after making that block. But if Porter knew like I did, George, he would have never tried to do that with one hand. He'd have gone up strong with two hands trying to keep that ball away from Isaiah Stewart because this is an easy block of a dunk for Isaiah Stewart. Back tap. Back to McDaniels. Conley now penetrating. Toss out. Extra pass. Rebound. To Anthony Edwards who they get back to the reset. And again, Mike does the right thing. Put it on the deck. Extra pass. Not enough bodies to rotate. Jaden Hardy back over the top to Davis. Beats two rockets to the ball. And then gets blocked off the rim by Amin Thompson. Call him Spotify the way he wrapped him up. Amin Thompson's on the other block. And he goes upstairs and it's clean and just erases this dunk attempt from Anthony Davis. That's a wide open dunk. That is an impressive impressive block shot. Shot clock didn't reset though. So Christie in the corner works his way out to the wing. Makes it. And Max Christie with the shot clock winding down on him heaves and hits. Unorthodox perhaps. But three on the board nonetheless. And maybe four. Really had to work for that one. Obviously he got the first shot blocked. A little clock malfunction but that's all sorted out. Trapped with the backcourt. Up ahead to Koop. And Koop and then Kooper flag adds to his highlight reel of poster dunks. Got a guy like that coming at you with that kind of athleticism. You're just in a position when you're down 10 but you can get back to yourself in a game that plays like this. And not that you get mom with Derek White got mom with me in his grill right here. A little pull up. We've been doing push ups and pull ups tonight. And that's how you get a good job out of rackets. Get it back. No damage done. That breaks the streak of eight consecutive shots made by Danville! Fakes the screen. Goes away from it. Glides down the middle. Pulls that ball out the top of his jersey and throws it in. What do you think about the score we've got right now? It's perfect. Quentin Post! I put on a poster right here. Here he is right here. See he thought the party was on the third floor. Brucella says it's in the penthouse. Bang! Look at him smiling at him. That's Duncan Dunk. Look at the speed. Who says this guy is slow enough? Almost 41 years of age. Come on. I couldn't do that when I was 20 years of age. Jarron against Jeremy Grant. Takes it. In the paint. Lost it on the way up. Obdia. On the pick up. Straight line drive. Oh and Jarron rejected it! Jarron Jackson Jr. The rundown block. A game of 20 plus points lost off turnovers. Oh come on. Two plus two. Back out now to LeBron. Got it! Double double of the season. Throwing that one down. LeBron tries another three. Yes! Sir! The king! Luka crowd on its feet. Sold out. Noisy. There he is. What an atmosphere. LeBron for the lead. Got him! Isn't it obvious? I keep telling him. I mean when you're an all time great that's feeling it you gotta give it to him. LeBron. James. He wants it. James with two. With one. LeBron again! LeBron tonight even though the guys have played well just give it to arguably the greatest player or one of the three or one of the four that's ever played the game and let him finish out the game the way he wants to. Oh that was um I forget it. Oh! Reeves! Here he goes! Throws it behind his head! He'd probably go nuts if he makes it and he does! Look at this pass from Austin Reeves. Cue up the Globetrotter music when you throw these highlights man. The way the Lakers or the Lakers and the Sixers look. So Rui had averaged about 16 and a half points a game. Without Lowry in the game. Right. You're still trying to find chemistry with the groups that are out there. That's a beautiful pass. That's probably some of the best passing action I've seen from the Jazz. It's gonna be OKC ball and Holmgren will check back in along with Jalen Williams out of Arkansas. Just great ball movement on the Jazz part. Really the first time I've seen that. They gotta dominate in the size, Kevin. In the interior. Same as they did to start the game. Go right back to it here. Eadie backing down. Hooks and hits. Just that easy for the Clippers as their second. You can see Kobe Brown doing all that he can to keep Zach Eadie away from his post position. Good luck. Has no chance. And the Grizzlies great job of recognizing that he had no chance. Four on the clock for Siakam. And Williams good contest. A better shot by Siakam. A good defense. Better offense. Take a difficult shot here. Rear. Gets him on the spin. It's just a tough shot from an all-star caliber player. It's a great player. Three-time all-star. Most improved player about seven years ago. Had to do... LeBron was doing some teeth work. Oh. It just connected the two. LaRavia the steal and slam. LaRavia soaring through the air. Brown just lays that out. Didn't even look like he saw LaRavia. And, you know, Joe Mizzoula coaches this team like that. Derek White, one of his stars. Generating 16 points off. And what a done that time. Appreciate the insight. Thank you. Appreciate this long play, too. We can see more of that. That opens up a five-point lead. Morrison missed the shot. Tapped out. Picked up by Black. Ahead with a streaking slam. Gets it to go. In transition. Franz takes it out. Jalen with the finish. J.D. with 16 now with a free throw. Sharp lost it. Asar finds it. Asar to the basket. Slams it. And Portland needs a timeout. The Pistons, 58. The Trail Blazers, 45. 2-41 to play in the first half here in downtown Detroit. Off the attacks to the elbow. Good play. Dunks it in. Robert Williams III on the feed from Denny. It's a good play from Coach Splitter and his coaching staff coming out of that break. Good defense after this good offense from the Blazers. We'll let it roll. Denny's gonna turn that corner. And then this defender's gotta make a decision. How far is he gonna come in? Not far enough because he knows Shadon Sharp is right behind him. Brooks working on Aaron Holiday. Misses the fadeaway. Tipped by Booye. Durant circles. Got by O'Neal. Got to the rim. And slams it in. Look at Durant there. He had to reach from Royce O'Neal. Nobody stops the basketball. And then what? Two hands for safety puts Dylan Brooks on a nice little poster It's a different way to hop in there. But good stuff there. Coach Fred. Bring him up to the booth. Here's the man Thompson. To Durant. Finding a seam. Oh my! He's got a second gear that you can turn on. And he's turned it on, man. And talk about just lining it up. Getting to his left hand as unguardable as it gets. Indeed. Now we're gonna head to break. And as we head to break let's check in now with Kevin Edgerton. Leonard misses a three. Aldama. Drop off. Coward for two. Great drop off by Aldama. And the Grizzlies playing with greater pace here in the third quarter than they did in the first half. Nice little lead bounce pass here. Watch how Coward shoots with the left hand. The left hand is underneath the right hand. He shoots this with the right hand. Duvall has a chance of blocking it. But because Vincent spinning away from James. Back to him. LeBron with some space. And then it is erased by Embiid. Embiid, Walker, McCain, Granz and Edgecumbe. The five-sixers out there. Finally! The crowd rising to its feet. Embiid. Nirk at seven points. As J. Dubb gets ahead of Steam. Nobody there to slow him down for the authoritative jam. Tass. Look at this here, folks. His athleticism. It's just terrific. Crossover dribble and gets to the bucket. All the way on Clayton. Knocking the ball to the backcourt. Creating a short shot clock. This guy is playing like a man on a mission. Takes the contract. Still gets up in the air. That's a strong move. There's a hack by Bailey. And it's not over yet. You can tell I coached AAU basketball for six years. It works at any level is what I'm saying. Oh, another nice pass. There is Carlson coming right off the bench. We call his name and he's got to stop. They're getting... How about Carlson? I tell you, man. But it's the wide, T.G. It's the defensive run the Warriors have went on that's allowed their offense to come into the game. Step back. Curry inside the line that time. That's a two. Off-balance jumper, Seth Curry. And watching the ball finds Curry. One dribble right. Sidestep. With Williams and SGA. Chet's got 14 in the game. Curry somehow to get the basket to go. And then Curry off-balance falling away. Take a look at this slight Christmas miracle from Nembhard. Way out. Just a shot clock. How'd he make that shot? Cade in a hurry. Duncan Robinson with a long gun. It goes! Here's the triple. And then Assar Thompson many times. Cade against Avdia. Up big. Whips it to Tobias. Three on the clock. Duncan Robinson from the sideline knocks it down! Curry came back down. Look at Duncan and that's not an easy shot, folks. I mean, he's catching elevating kind of on the move and got nothing but the bottom add to it the pressure of that shot. Cycle to Pudzemski shot clock at 7. He's got Mobley out on him. Brandon flipping it up and in! How did he get it around? How did Pudzemski do this? Pump fake? Step through? There is no way he just did that to me. You're making something out of nothing. And that's the best defender in the NBA. Unbelievable. Harden behind Zubat's screen. Zubat's another wipeout should be illegal screen. And a run out for Wells on the other end. Timeouts. We got one here now. 251 for the game. So why they said it I don't understand either. Other than the fact that they had multiple timeouts remaining. Jarrett a hook! He hits! Size advantage to get it to him but again no double team coming allows Jaren Jackson Jr. Desmond Baines to Wagner. He drives down the lane lays it in! What a big offensive rebound for the Magic and Wendell Carter. And Caro still on the Magic bench. May be done for tonight. Great cut! Wagner!
