Hoops Highlights

I am a fan of Golden Hoops.
Johnson, three-pointer, won't go, long rebound.
James dives on the floor, Murray dives on him.
That floor feels a lot harder, the older you get.
I promise you, when you're, you gotta give so much love and respect.
That's how you win games.
Reeves, hits it off, gets it back.
Reeves on the drive, he puts it out.
It's good, it's good.
Tied, no timeouts for Denver.
Spencer-Jones on him, here's the double.
Dojic on the drive, step back, puts it up.
Puts it in, with five-tenths of a second remaining.
Lakers by two, Jokic fires it down the floor.
As Gordon comes up with it.
Smart with the steal, Marcus Michaels inside,
lays it up and in, and the Lakers regain the lead.
Huge one right here.
We talked about so many offensive players in the Open,
but the last thing we...
Lunch and dinner, give me some of that.
Good.
Offense, Dojic is going to get you.
Single digits.
Good shot in the front, here he goes.
Morocious flush.
Walked this crowd to its feet.
Cut through, Dojic timed it beautifully, got around Love.
Love put it up, that's a holler.
The current run is 11-2.
Takes a special player to do this.
Just gets it between K. Love's legs and then sets.
I think those are the ways of being kind of unique.
All the while.
Kanar sticks it.
There you go.
That's what the league leader at three-point percentage
looks like right there.
Kanar.
Lakers have an opportunity, here they come.
Good pass.
That's a good job of passing and a hit.
Get out and...
Their physicality has fixed up quite a bit.
Pass, Wendell Carter Jr.
Up with it.
Oh, what a history-making play.
Shot by the logo.
Clear space.
I need some real estate.
In the midst of a road trip.
I believe he has been giving them that ball.
He's averaged a double-double each year in his career.
Connect.
Nice fast break.
Little connect finish.
Nine in the game.
Reeves, 16.
And James, 18 tonight.
Reeves trying to add to that total.
3-8.
Kicks James out of the bucket.
His second name came in tonight, 207.
Inside-out.
Very fortunate to get it to Smart.
Fires it up.
That was a shot that you thought...
Shot by Schroeder on Reeves.
Well, and depending on without fouling is important.
Lakers already 10 free-throw attempts and there is a dunk.
...vertically at the rim.
Trying to get back in this thing.
Oh, Luka was there again and knocked it away.
And Luka does it twice!
He knocked it...
First...
Turn the ball over like that against the zone defense.
Shot blocked by Aiton.
And the honor to Aiton.
Amazing!
Look at LeBron go.
Look at this move baseline.
Nick trying to get around.
Cling it.
By Jacks!
On the assist by James.
That's called a small sample size, folks.
Here is Reeves.
Got it!
And then, Austin, one missed dribble.
Shooting poorly as well.
Another turnover.
The turnover is worth it.
Vanderbilt gets it back.
First shot of the Lakers.
Goes down!
I haven't talked about a way to make sure you get...
Williams slides inside.
Denied.
Down he goes.
And a two-on-two break.
That's for LeBron.
This is obvious.
When you're an all-time great that's feeling it, you gotta give it to him.
Run.
He wants it.
James with two.
With one.
LeBron again!
Other guys have played well.
Give it to arguably the greatest player.
One of the three or one of the four that's ever played the game.
Not the racetrack.
The university.
Oh!
Jackson!
Two-hand slam dunk!
Says to the patient, didn't you see this?
Backing duties.
Trying to go one-on-one.
Out on top.
Trying to stay with them.
Good luck, Diabate.
Does his best, but it's gonna be a three-point opportunity.
If he goes, then guess what?
Nine flush shots tonight.
Nine of them.
Turnover!
Killed by Marcus.
Here they go.
Marcus Smart, the former defensive player of the year.
LeBron!
Another look at Marcus Smart.
Getting his tail off of DeJounte.
Because he's really agile.
He runs the floor real well.
And a good pick and roll by...
Jax!
Throw it down, big fella!
Transition game.
Another look at that play by Jax.
Dodge it.
Double.
Bounce it.
Eight.
Push shot goes.
Diabate is on the board at the Lakers.
On the other end, Luka...
Therein lies the problem.
Delegane slotted out of bounds by Jackson Hayes.
Three straight games.
And, man, he had that thing tracked.
Like a god-like figure.
He would come and speak to the team the last couple of years, once or twice a year.
So they've gotten to know each other a little bit.
Number three.
Luka with one.
Has to put it up.
He's falling out of bounds.
He lands in the first row.
And he makes the three.
The clock is...
Look at the position Ochi is in.
Bang.
You want your best finisher to be on the end.
LeBron gives it back.
Now you've got to...
There's their depth.
Steal by Fox.
Retreat by LaRavia.
And the three-point strike.
Make the most of it.
Reeves.
Getting fancy.
Ochi, Murrocks.
Rounds in the mid-range.
Closed.
The defender's asleep.
One more look at it again.
Draws Dominic's attention.
Games in the month of March.
17.
Cleba climbed the ladder on the pass.
Really scored quickly.
Long lead.
Touchdown, LaRavia.
What a play.
What a heads-up pass.
It's a fun guy.
He's getting some assists.
I like what he's doing.
Yeah, and again, as you all know,
we are not downstairs on the court.
He does it again.
Show him your moves.
I think if they could redo it,
I would be a team player.
Steps right in.
A little careless.
And now Reeves.
Double Reeves.
Hayes.
Somehow got the pass to Kennard.
And he catches it from long range.
That smooth left-hand stroke.
And a steal by Vanderbilt.
Delivers it, but he shoots it.
Which if you're a Clippers fan, you go,
we need production from those guys.
But not that.
Finishes at the rim.
High above it.
It'll be Lucre.
And a lob for LeBron.
That size.
Lakers taking full advantage.
Crazy thing was...
Oh, what a pass.
No, look, look.
Eight to score.
Look at just...
Showcase that.
Leave it right to him.
Marcus Smart.
Off of the back.
I like it.
Wow, Marcus.
I mean, never...
Never did see him come
and look at this play.
I'd like to see you
use that focus defensively.
Reeves.
Takes it to the rim.
Reeves.
Alley-oop to Hayes.
Beautiful connection.
Jake Laravia knows
to wear it.
Offensive rebound.
You want to see more of that.
Good job.
It'll be a jump ball.
Right up in Lakers.
Off the screen.
Splitting.
No look to LeBron.
I mean...
The rise in fire
from out there.
Jet.
He's going to...
No!
That shot that Austin made
to beat the clock.
James in for Hayes.
Five seconds left.
It's going to be Reeves
for three seconds.
Reeves.
To the rim.
Austin.
Can he do it?
Now he's going to utilize
the pick by Hayes.
Hook.
Wide open.
Kunar.
You bet it.
Great pass.
Little hook pass.
Fifty percent
on the season
from three.
Another look at that...
Hachimura.
Stops, turns
and connects.
Boy, he is just
shooting lights out all season.
I mean, there's not a lot
of arc on this shot either.
So there's not a lot
of margin for error
as a result.
No chance of coming back
that way.
Starts up.
Over two.
Both of them have been
threes.
Reeves, the crossover.
Some oohs from the crowd.
Layup.
That shot's good.
Some oohs from the second
fielder.
Some oohs from the booth.
Here's the ooh.
There's the ah.
That have taken place
over the course of the game.
De'Andre Ayton.
Jumper's good.
Big bucket from Ayton.
Look, Reeves is going to
take his time here.
Gray screen by De'Andre.
Arabia curls.
Takes a look.
Outside of LeBron.
Raises.
Fakes.
I made a bad play.
They doubled Luka.
And Jokers got a good strip
on me when we were down two
to put us in that position.
But, you know,
you got to move on
to the next play.
Seem to have one guy
on that side.
So try to miss that side
and try to go make a play.
Be honest.
Is that something
you've practiced?
I've done it before, yeah.
So a long time ago
in the AAU,
I tried it.
And it worked.
I hit a corner three.
But not to this magnitude.
Nice to have that
in your back.
Congratulations on the win.
Now I'm going to go
to your partner here.
Luka, as the clock
is winding down,
just tell me
what you're thinking.
Take me through
that game winning play.
I mean, I just wanted
to get my shot, Bob.
You know, obviously,
we want to have
the last shot.
I saw they were doubling,
so I went to the other side.
Rejected to my
last step back.
And, you know,
I work on this.
So I trust my shot.
Everyone just looked
exhausted in the overtime.
Just what was
the difference?
I mean, we just,
you know, we came back.
We were down,
I think, like,
six, seven points.
So we came back.
We got the crowd in it.
That's the best
I've ever seen
the crowd here
since I've been to Lakers.
So I really appreciate it.
I want to ask about
Marcus Snart.
Can you just describe
the impact that he had
in regulation
and in overtime?
I mean, it's insane.
It's every game.
It's like he does
something new
to help us win.
So, you know,
I said this summer,
I mean, before the season,
that this signing,
you know, I'm very
excited about.
And I was right, man.
He's a hell of a player,
a hell of a person.
You had Marcus,
you had what Austin did,
missing the three-throw,
your game-winning shot,
LeBron James
diving on the floor
to keep a possession.
Just what does a win
like this,
an effort like this,
mean for a team
heading into the playoffs?
I mean, it's very big.
You know, obviously,
we still got a long way
to the playoffs.
We got to approach
every game the same way.
But, you know,
this game was very big.
We're fighting with Denver
in the stands.
They're a hell of a team.
So I think that was
a very big win for us.
Thanks, Luca.
Congrats on the win.
All right, Lisa.
A thriller
that ends in overtime.
Luka Dacic with 30,
Reeves with 32,
Marcus Smart,
21 points
and some special
defensive plays.
