I am a fan of Golden Hoops.
The scout says he likes to go right, which he did.
Jump, elevates.
Wow, he turned up the base.
We've seen him do this a bunch of times.
Ask Chris Finch about this before the game.
Look at that box score.
There are not a lot of sexy numbers as Edwards drives into traffic.
Wow, got the finish.
And he drew the foul.
That's breathtaking right there.
That is big time in traffic.
Edwards gets the in-one opportunity.
Eight seconds to go.
Brunson drives.
Pulls back.
Three-pointer.
Bang!
Jalen Brunson knocks it down.
And the Knicks take the lead with 4.4 remaining.
Shot coming up short.
Turn the ball off his foot.
And now he comes up with a victory ball.
And you can see the look on the bench.
He's exhausted.
Single digits.
Precious flush.
Brought this crowd to its feet.
How old is he?
He had a similar situation happen coming back from Toronto.
He went up high.
Turned it away from Obdiah.
Saves it for Derrick Wayne.
Great effort.
Stopped the basketball.
Jeremy spins away from the line.
I mean, I guess the positive...
Johnson imploring his team.
They really want to run.
Oh my goodness.
Oh!
Hassle.
A tornado inside.
Unbelievable finish.
Six-point ballgame.
Thirty seconds to go in the first quarter.
Noisy.
There he is.
What an atmosphere.
Isn't it obvious?
The all-time great is feeling it.
You've got to give it to him.
Run.
Jams.
He wants it.
Jams with two.
With one.
LeBron.
Again!
Tonight, even though the guys have played well,
let's give it to arguably the greatest player.
One of the three or one of the four that's ever played the game.
And let him finish out the game.
Hassle.
Windmill dunk from Steph Hassle.
I mean, I'm in the position before that.
And it's Stephon Hassle goes up like...
He has 21 in the first half.
Man.
In a crowd.
Clowney.
Connix.
Death on this team.
Now Murray.
Free to shoot.
Trying to get away from Matazi.
Fakes him out.
And nails it!
Step back.

No!
Free throw!
With a chance to win!
What a smart play.
He bites on the pump.
On the step back.
You make contact.
Talking to J.K. before the game about Detroit and their 21-5 record.
Here comes Koop.
And Koop with no intentions!
J.P. Vickerstaff speaking of outstanding.
How about that for outstanding?

He's surrounded by a trio.
That throws it away.
Jake's got it.
Here comes Laravia.
To Hayes.
The trailer!
Throw it and run it!
Hayes on the wheels, boy.
Jake read the play.
Gets the steal.
Two for one on the offensive rebound chance.
Light the cross.
The drive.
The clutch.
The score!
Nice move by Toby White.
How about that for some?
Julia Serving-esque.

He's gonna struggle to score the basketball.
One second left in the half.
A long kaboom here in Brooklyn for Norman Powell.
At the buzzer.
One-handed.
Extra arc.
Nothing but net.
By two defenders.
Going for it!
Ball defense.
High effort there.
Solidify the second unit.
And they try, even with the injuries, not to really disrupt that.
Yes, sir!
Cunningham against Max Christie.
Driving.
Oh, and he has a highlight reel finish.
Explosive.
What?
10 straight wins on the road.

Crossover.
And Ingeroll swung it out of bounds.
Let's see.
Here he is.
Hits Trey on the block.
Oh!
On the reverse.
This is not bad.
This is what I mean about Derrick Queen.
Unlocking a different part of Trey Murphy's game.
3-15.
After they had lost a home game to Brooklyn.
Big block on the drive by Traore.
By Christie.
And running the floor.
It's an alley-oop from Klay Thompson to PJ Washington.
Who just stole the inbounds pass.
Klay Thompson for three.
Full time!
Wow!
Five points in the snap of a finger.
Thanks to PJ Washington and Klay Thompson.
And it started with defense.

Great teamwork.
This is what it looks like.

And then the tricky Tristan behind the spine.
He's physical and he's snatching.
Morant against George.
One on one.
Morant baseline.
Reverses up and in!
Behind the back to Colley!
What an unbelievable shot against one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.
My goodness.
He's got a couple on Zubac.
Switching everything.
It can force you to start to play one on one.
Give me that.
Yeah, he took care of that.
Now you've got a three on one.
Going up the tray.
It's Trey.
Up the tray!
And a career-best 20 again.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
I think Jake LaRavia has showed it.
Oh!
Jax!
Where did he get that one from?
The sky?
Another look at that pass from LeBron to Jackson Hayes.
Five on the clock.
They leave Jokic.
Jokic behind his back.
Got to get it up there.
He does.
Had to play in the first half.
Go for the basket.
Way up to swat it was the shot blocker, Isaiah Stewart.
Remember?
As I mentioned, making his first start of the season as Ace Bailey takes his first shot.
Oh!
Jumps up and in off the miss.
Bowler.
And rattles the rim.
Bowler.
Oh.
Nobody protected the rim.
Derrick's got to stay there.
And he'll get the runner.
Time-out fouls.
That young man can play, man.
Downhill all night.
At the Lakers to get the ball out of the playmaking of LeBron and Luka.
Dodges a couple of head fakes.
Thrills.
The trifecta.
Now he's in double figures with ten.
Do you realize how hard that was to poke fake, not drop?
Will will have it in his bag.
Bad pass.

And they do.
Oh!
Caruso!
Met him in the overalls.
Yeah, Caruso.

Darius Garland.
He has been in a big-time bunker.
Garland finds it over to Alex.
At Harper.
Oh, how about a loop?

Oh, and a play there by Lonzo Ball.
Ball makes the save.
Here goes Mitchell.
He twirls.
He puts it up and in.
Donovan Mitchell with a dynamite finish
after a jaw-dropping steal by Lonzo Ball.
Great anticipation by Lonzo Ball.
That's just being aware.
High basketball IQ.
Great play.
Now Jokic against Eubanks.
Eubanks trying to play him physical, as Scott said.
Jokic with a fall away.
That's good.
I think Jokic is figuring, why bang him every time?
Off the steal.
Murphy fears.
They have Murphy.
Pounds it down with the right hand.
Five on four.
Shen good inside.
And one.
The Rosen is slow to join the action.
Ben Thompson.
Ladies and gentlemen, that was not...
Pretty active, but another turnover.
Mitchell, nice no-look.
Oh!
Wow!
Flushes it down on Smith.
Oh, my goodness.
Against Atlanta.
As the Wizards commit that turnover here.
Keyshawn blocked.
Here's Bezelos.
Oh!
Quentin Post!
Got put on a poster right here.
Here he is right here.
See, he thought the party was on the third floor.
Bezelos is in the penthouse.
Man!
Jeremiah.
They combined for 37 in this game back in November.
Kofi Sanders with a big finish.
Kofi Sanders able to...
University of Kentucky before being drafted by the Smurfs.
Deep three here by Trey Johnson.
Excuse me, he shot that one from Arlington.
Wow!
You might be tuning in, Chris.
Watkins!
Baseline rimlock.
He marked it and taps the rebound.
The rim has it.
What a run ahead.
Power to the rim!
And then he's taken down hard by H. Bailey.
Two nights to go against the Cavs.
Healthy again.
Gets greeted by Jared Allen with the rejection.
You see Jared Allen, that's what I'm talking about.
That's coming over to help your teammates.
Yeah, the Grizzlies at home.
Aldama turns it over and Brown punches it with the right hand.
Clearing it out for Towns.
A former Timberwolves.
It's Towns inside.
Blocked by Wiggins.
Towns goes down hard as does Wiggins.
Gonna be Jordan Poole plenty of times.
Come on!
Activity pays off.
That's a high scoring.
Mataji stumbles.
Gets it to Bain.
Penetrating.
Oh!
The flush!

With the throw down.
Oh, and a blow by.
And a beautiful block by the rookie.

In and out on the jump shot.
Rebounded by Castle.
The cutter!
Fausel!
On the rock attack!
Wow.
That is seven assists already.
On the end zone.
The rookie layup.
Basker.
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.
Story.
Not just here in Cleveland.
But in the NBA.
Colbert.
Out to Reed.
Now it's McDaniels.
Baseline drive.
The reverse.
Oh!
He got it to go!
Slim!
He's got Trey for the live.
Why not?
I'll tell you what.
Jeremy's ability to pass that basketball.
That was, that was awesome.
Forty percent.
Fauser.
They're making about.
Another offensive rebound.
Oh!
What a play!
Allen made the catch.
Off to Tomlin.
Tomlin with a pump lay.
And Tomlin!
He didn't have a chance to drop.
This guy may be tired from the travel.
But the Sixers as he hits the jump bucket.
After the foul by Maxey.
Good call.
Yeah, me too.
Watch right here.
Reaching a little.
First move.
And a foul.
Off the shoulder Tee.
Working inside out.
Three years in the league.
Oh, don't give him that, Victor.
Uh-oh.
The crossover.
Lost it.
Castle got it back.
Puts it up.
Fouled!
And one.
They're going to get their three.
Almost to the leg work.
A little razzle dazzle.
I thought he might get a step here and throw it down.
And there you see it again.
Good job, Hurd.
Hurd will go to Duncan.
He's going to Duncan.
And he does!
He's over Jabari Smith.
He really takes his time.
Finished.
Stewart just ripped it away.
Isaiah Stewart is a Grubble man.
And the Bucks are only getting one shot.
Meanwhile, Pritchard's on the move.
Riles Turner gets up from behind.
That's a big time play.
To Keontae George.
And their lockers are actually right next to each other here in Delta Center.
And Keontae's been very candid about how Kevin Love has been really helpful for him as a vet.
Shot clock.
Down to four.
Coward trying to up under.
Goes to the cup and finishes.
Wow.
What a move by the rookie.
Sid here.
Sid, you see there.
He stops a dribble.
Consecutive shots made.
By Denmark!
Wow.
Right here.
Fakes the screen.
On the fast break a couple days ago.
And they're being just as aggressive here tonight.
Nice block inside.
Performing for them.
Asking them to give the effort.
He's giving.
Ball's on the deck.
Secured by Johnson.
Throwing it upstairs.
The reshashay.
Finished second.
And rookie voting.
The last to catch up for wet.
Another rejection by Conclu.
Oh, had three blocks.
Sharp for the drive.
To the basket.
He's hanging in the air for a while.
One thing you know.
Sharp can rise folks.
On the dribble.
Hand off.
He's going to go off.
Mid-range.
That's just smart play.
He looked at the clock.
He reckoned.
Murray.
That'll snap.
Into his sixth.
He'll rebound.
Spinning through traffic.
Smith Jr.
Ramping it up here.
He's got 14.
Cam Johnson attacking.
Steven Adams right to the middle.
But if Porter knew like I did, George.
As they've struggled.
That's a jam.
Nice feed on the two-man game from Tyson.
And that cuts the lead down.
Down to Kentucky.
Call your breaks free.
Throws it inside.
Put it down.
Hendricks.
Attitude.
Speechless bowler.
My goodness.
Get downhill.
Still trying to find a way to score.
Dunker.
Blocked by Smith.
Smith with the denial.
Brings it up the floor.
Backcourt.
Up ahead to Koop.
And Koop out.
He did it.
And then Kooper flag adds to his highlight reel of poster dunks.
Although Josh Akoge made a business decision.
He finds great looks.
Oh, wait.
Oh, man.
He still got it.
And he turns and gives DeMar DeRozan it.
Tied up.
Kicks it up top to Hart.
Nearly a backcourt violation.
He's going to have to hoist it up.
Fires away.
And hits the three.
Josh Hart.
A desperation.
He goes down.
Running down.
Hart very cognizant of it with the Swiss.
Tyson Daniels.
Jalen.
Taking it home.
Flecked it, but it got to its intended target.
And somehow he manages to reach way.
Siakam picks up Bouzelis.
A couple of lengthy wings.
Bouzelis put the moves on Siakam.
Get more of those orange jerseys around that basket just like that.
What you were looking for at the top of the telecast is Mobley.
Backs down one of the spurs and finds day one.
Tomlin.
Good pass down to Evans.
