Bulls trying for a quick bucket, Berger doesn't get it.
And the rebound finishes it off as Giannis put up 27 in his return to the lineup.
I'll tell you what, if you were the Bulls, you should have fouled him.
If as soon as you saw that he was going to start doing that, you should have hustled down the floor and you should have fouled him.
And the Boots have never taken exception to it.
That was a take that from Giannis.
And now the Bulls...
Don't just go foul him, don't let him get that shot off.
The Bulls gave up on the play, he didn't.
And Rick got a technical and Curry hits a free throw.
So it was a 26 point lead early in the third.
And he lost his shoe.
Couldn't take advantage of it and that shoe is...
Curry grabs it and Chandler swats the shoe out of bounds.
You see him trying to make a move.
Oh no, he has a blowout there.
Curry flipped it away and then tried to flip it off the floor.
And then we had Chandler swatting it out of bounds.
Get that shoe out of here!
The fans are up right now.
He launches a three and maybe...
Donovan has his hands on his head.
Why? Because he grabbed that rebound in front of Evan Mobley.
That would have given Mobley his tenth forward and another double-double his sixth of the season.
Ron James is trying to do that water bottle challenge where he has it land and stand up.
That's what it's been reduced to.
Unsuccessfully, I might add.
Well, Kyrie Irving just missed.
Here goes James and nope.
Murray fakes the pass and flips it up and in.
19 points for Jamal Murray.
All five starters for Denver in double figures.
This is some of the things.
Look where Rondo is sitting.
Unless he's coming in the game, there's no excuse for that.
For whatever reason, that can't happen.
And the last game it was Rondo and Javel McKeith.
That cannot happen.
That's not a winning culture.
Now, he may be doing it for the right reasons.
There's no right reason in my opinion.
My guess is no.
No, he did not shoot it.
For the 50.
Oh, he did shoot it.
Yes, he did.
Celts will remember that.
115-107.
Some final Amiga game numbers going by.
Possessions up.
Another rebound there to Giannis.
He's going to finish one rebound shy of a triple-double.
And that will do it.
Oh, he got it.
Does that count?
They told him.
The bench told him.
Giannis has his triple-double.
His tenth rebound in the final few seconds.
His fourth triple-double of the season.
I love it.
They get back on track after winning 16 straight, losing to Philly.
And he's under the rip.
That's a rebound.
I think it's official, Lisa.
Jazz still play hard down the stretch.
Anderson will hold the ball.
They'll give it to Gobert.
Will he take the shot?
Oh, he does.
And that's not going to sit well with Jazz fans.
You know what?
Rudy could have done himself a favor just to hold it and say thanks.
Yeah, he could have.
I don't know if he's going to be any less liked when it comes down to it.
He told you something.
He may be lying.
You know he's not lying.
Why would I do that?
Okay, all right.
He said, Jordan Poole, the burden of proof is on you.
So for Portland to get Chalupas tonight, I don't think it was expected.
Oh, what's that?
Oh, goodness.
What is he doing?
Oh, man.
Look at the Chicago player, Taj Gibson, go after him.
Taj Gibson now is going to go after Lillard a little bit.
If he won't, somebody else will.
Achua, meanwhile, after that last rebound, records a double-double at 12 points and 10 goals.
0.8 to go.
And some fans taking offense to that last bucket.
And they should.
And the Kings get it back at the other end.
Right now trail it by five.
They led by nine seemingly a few minutes ago.
And Turner is really ruling things now for the Pacers, who are flying again.
There's Embiid getting a piece of the rock.
And Sabonis, as the Pacers score anyway.
And now the Sixers getting rather careless here.
And we're going to have a jump ball.
Bale's going to shoot a three and be fouled.
Oh, no.
How did they do that?
Okay, this is a discussion.
See, Washington's overreacting here.
They are saying, you know, you're trying to show us up.
You know what? Sorry.
It was going to be a turnover because of the time between the shot clock and game clock.
To get it done.
As Zubac and Jokic are ready to jump this up.
The first of four meetings as Bill Kennedy gets chapped in the face.
I'm sure he'll remember that.
As Jokic and the Denver Nuggets as we are officially underway.
Nuggets win the tag.
And he didn't want Howard or DJ to come in and bail them out off the glass last game.
He let them stick through it and play through it.
And Ariza slides in.
A little bit better shooter, of course, from Stanley Johnson.
Not quite there with the athleticism.
In the discussions.
And I coached a couple in some of the discussions.
He is certainly on the list.
And he's had the same shooting coach since he was 15 years old.
The shooting coach is stealing.
Well, let's be honest.
But Jeff Van Gundy said.
And Tyreek steals the ball.
Dwayne Wade's not happy with that.
He's saying, come on, the game's over.
Don't be surprised if Dwayne Wade now shoots the ball.
He's going to put it down and put his foot on it.
Glass on the outside.
Switches it through.
But the Lakers, are they going to get back? No.
But Barnes is going to stay with it.
They block it away. It's loose in the corner.
Oh, LeBron tried to throw it off of Barnes who might have been out of bounds.
I thought he was trying here and he throws it.
Yeah, he does hit Scottie.
And Scottie had his shoulder.
Six minutes to go.
It bounces off of Irving.
He has to go back and get it.
And Portland knocked it out of bounds.
And Irving spilled out on the play as Nasir Little hit the deck.
Irving going to let it go.
And then, oh.
Yeah, he got caught underneath.
Right.
Let's see him come down on the left.
There. Oh. Yeah.
For three.
Really tipped in.
Secured by the Sixers.
And they're going to win it.
This road-losing streak is going to come to an end.
And the Turters celebrating.
History.
The Turters win it tonight here at Staples Center by a final of 1-11 to 1-04.
Three ball Malik.
He's got a Fakers dozen.
And that'll probably be the final shot of the game.
Oh, no.
LaMelo took it from Embiid.
You okay with that, Del?
Yeah. Absolutely.
He was thinking about grabbing a tamale in the locker room.
Nope.
And LaMelo not only a steal, but a three.
And the Hornets get into the backcourt.
Kemba's got it.
They can't catch him.
That'll do it.
The Hornets a winner on a Sunday night in Phoenix.
It didn't count.
It was after the buzzer.
Oh, my goodness.
They can't catch him.
Horn goes.
Let's throw it up.
Offensive foul.
Kyle Lowry.
It was an interesting move.
I don't think I've ever seen it.
The guy's legs.
That might be the first.
Kenny Atkinson.
And the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As Thompson right at the end of the blues.
Ringing out for Tristan Thompson.
Getting the two-handed slam.
A little bit surprising.
1-31.
Dunkel going to try and back down.
Oh, and he hit Arden in the head.
From one MVP to another.
Ilyasova, just the way they drew it.
They threw it up.
Arden might have to go into concussion.
Aaron Gordon's always been a good defender.
But I have never seen this.
Steph hit a three.
He's going to high-five Draymond.
Aaron Gordon says no.
I am not allowing the high-five.
That's a moving screen, wasn't it?
And they throw it away.
And there's the capper.
The bow on it was Baisley dunking it.
Uh-oh, and Russ is telling him.
Russ is in Baisley's face.
Telling him not to do that.
Those are the, quote, unwritten rules.
If you want to talk about it,
whether you believe in them or not,
that's up to you.
Russ, obviously,
gave Baisley an earful.
Last three quarters, they were absolutely dominant.
Just put a bow on it
for the Thunder.
It was right here where Russ said,
no, you're not doing that.
