00:00 5.2 left. No timeouts left for the Bronx. Here comes Dame.
00:04 Three seconds, Dame pulls for the win!
00:07 Oh! Dame time!
00:11 Is alive and well in Milwaukee!
00:17 Third and a full fourth quarter left to play.
00:26 Damian Lillard, my goodness! A Dame dunk with the left hand and wins!
00:31 Hit that transition three all of a sudden everybody on Indiana.
00:34 Oh my goodness. I'll let Dame do the screaming. Look at him rise up with the left.
00:39 Oh, that's pretty.
00:42 Damian Lillard, three-pointer flies.
00:47 And he's got another one! Damian Lillard doing what he does!
00:53 Nowhere to go. Here's the one before, just one-on-one with Kelly Oubre, creates space.
00:59 The two superstars hooking up for an and one.
01:09 Little pocket pass behind the back pocket pass. How often do you see that Janis Strong finish?
01:15 Lillard trying to spring free, looking for a call, and he gets it! And it goes!
01:23 Damian Lillard!
01:24 This is so tough for a defender because Springer fights over,
01:29 but you got to get that forearm off of him. Dame Lillard is an expert at this.
01:34 Feels the contact, gets up.
01:36 You know, you're not going to last, especially with the way the Bucs want to play.
01:40 At least give them a chance to get the defensive lead.
01:43 A little shoulder fake and fake, and Dame's got another two. Dame loves playing.
01:47 Robinson, not fair.
01:49 Lillard, the point guard, looking like himself again, and it's a 12 point.
02:04 And that was Dame that kept that offensive rebound from being secured by the Blazers.
02:16 And then, so Dame did a good job a couple of possessions ago drawing contact.
02:21 Remember, these games also count towards your regular season record.
02:25 Lillard, put in! On a deep delivery!
02:29 Pickup point is a little bit different than other players.
02:35 Damian Lillard going past the hole, Detroit defense. And Dame's got a plus one.
02:45 She's been doing the whole rest of the game. This is his time.
02:49 This game more than ever with Giannis out, with Chris out.
02:51 Great job with the contact. Get into the glass, finishing and one.
02:57 You got to go contest that shot. It could be a weak side shot blocker.
03:00 You got to make your way back to those rebounders.
03:02 These guys are going to come follow that shot.
03:03 Dame Lillard from distance!
03:07 Oh, talk about a get right shooting game!
03:09 For the season.
03:10 And, you know, some of that, that would be the lowest in his career.
03:15 But you know, that's not going to, that's not sustained.
03:17 When Nick Richards was fouled and didn't shoot his free throws,
03:21 Lamentos said, even though it was an elbow injury, apparently,
03:24 at the time, he did hit his head.
03:25 And so he entered into the NBA's new concussion protocol.
03:29 That's Ashley, the degree of difficulty. Forget about it. Step back.
03:33 Yeah, Melanie, thank you for that.
03:35 You know, it was Giannis and Dame kind of orchestrating it.
03:37 As Dame takes the three-pointer,
03:39 caught the bucket, an impossible four-point play for Dame Lillard.
03:44 Yeah, and right here, a little dribble handoff.
03:46 Dame feels the presence of Balogh, Kudinbali.
03:50 I've been waiting to say that all day.
03:53 And as soon as he feels the contact...
03:55 A little empty corner two-man game.
03:58 Richards gets blitzed.
03:59 Oh, man, Lillard took his cornbread and slams it over Hauser.
04:04 Just a great strip and a great read.
04:07 Had intentions of doing, being super aggressive at the point of attack.
04:11 Deflection, strips, very much the way Nick Nurse...
04:14 Holliday picks up Lillard.
04:15 Giannis hits the screen for Lillard.
04:20 Brown switches onto him.
04:21 Three by Dame.
04:23 It's officially Dame time.
04:25 It's down to a three-point Celtics lead.
04:28 I kind of like the quadro.
04:30 Dame has a taste and goes right at it.
04:36 Caught the bucket and the foul.
04:39 But Dame-Lillard.
04:39 Actually, Johnny...
04:41 Is that Johnny Davis or Jordan Poole?
04:42 Jordan Poole.
04:43 This kid right here.
04:44 It's the biggest lead for Miami.
04:49 Lillard!
04:49 Towers!
04:50 Caught it!
04:51 Fouled!
04:51 Number one here.
04:53 And takes on three black jerseys on his way to a potential and one.
05:00 Two-minute warning.
05:05 Dame signs it in.
05:06 Off from only team range.
05:09 Only he can do that.
05:10 Looking to close the deal.
05:15 Dame, give it, go!
05:17 Here it is!
05:18 That's how you close a deal.
05:23 West Dame give and go with Giannis.
05:25 He is one of the best in the league.
05:27 Here comes Lillard.
05:29 Brandon will take him and it's a three by Dame.
05:31 Another one!
05:32 Another three by Lillard.
05:34 Middleton tips it away from Halliburton.
05:37 Lillard sidestep, three-pointer, puts it in!
05:41 Damian Lillard lighting it up.
05:44 He's got 14 periods here in the period.
05:47 Shooters have a short memory.
05:49 He made his first shot.
05:50 Pacers weren't locked in.
05:52 You unleashed Dame time.
05:55 That's a problem.
05:56 Chris inbounds to Giannis.
06:00 Five now to shoot.
06:03 Dame cuts inside.
06:05 Dame, a Dame touch!
06:07 Coach said to watch it and stay with my son Chris at UCLA.
06:12 With a shot clock at four, Lillard unloads and he cans another.
06:17 Get into his rhythm.
06:17 The dribble move through the legs, push off the right leg, step back.
06:21 Bink.
06:23 Directing traffic.
06:25 This is going to be Dame's possession here.
06:28 Drawing the contact out the bucket.
06:30 Aaron Holliday commits the foul and Dame's got 14 points to open things up.
06:34 The Spurs started one for 13.
06:36 Nice streak now, five for five.
06:39 Going to kind of a one-two-two hybrid zone that morphs into a two-three-three-two.
06:43 Deep shot from Dame Lillard.
06:46 He's so good at catching the defense.
06:49 Just a little out of culture, a little off rhythms.
06:53 Obviously, like, people are comparing the excitement with Wembley with the excitement
06:57 of LeBron coming into the league.
06:59 I don't know if you agree with that.
07:00 And Dame, potty pocket and one!
07:04 He's a switch by Barlow and Barlow's not used to that with the overtime elite.
07:08 Making him miss that dunk shot.
07:10 So that's what they're complaining about.
07:12 We had to look at it like 12 times so the official...
07:15 Deep shot for Dame!
07:18 Lillard drives inside, count it, and a foul.
07:26 To 26 points per game.
07:29 Early on in the season, he just kind of let things come to him.
07:33 But that's an outstanding move around R.J. Barrett.
07:35 Made two excellent passes when they were pressured.
07:38 They looked for the open man and that was great ball movement.
07:41 Logo three, Lillard!
07:43 His first triple of the game.
07:45 Now just watch now when you're watching him here.
07:48 See, he just lulled you to sleep because they ran a man over the top.
07:53 Stats-wise between Wembley and Brooke in blocks per game.
07:56 [Crowd noise]
08:03 Dame takes it all the way.
08:04 [Crowd noise]
08:05 Lopez is on Hendon Yama, the three, the rebound by Anadokunbo.
08:09 [Crowd noise]
08:11 Touched every inch of that rim.
08:13 Lillard a three!
08:14 That's it in from El Paso!
08:17 Woo!
08:17 Second bucket of the night, two for eight now.
08:19 [Crowd noise]
08:21 Lillard hangs and finishes around the seven foot three inch Porzingis.
08:27 Foul on Milwaukee, offensive foul on the screen.
08:30 Lillard look at this, the long reach of Porzingis.
08:34 [Crowd noise]
08:40 Zips it up, count it!
08:41 [Crowd noise]
08:42 And one opportunity for Damian Lillard.
08:45 As we talked about it, Oakland, Ogden.
08:49 Right at that moment the kick out pass came,
08:51 the monk would shift to this position a couple steps is left.
08:55 [Crowd noise]
08:56 Dame, Euro step, first it was the crossover,
08:59 then he finished it off with the Euro.
09:01 [Crowd noise]
09:02 And that one comes up short again, Donovan Mitchell now, two of four from deep.
09:06 [Crowd noise]
09:08 Lillard changes gears against Yang and one!
09:12 Nice move, dynamite off the drive and then never, range is not even a factor.
09:18 [Crowd noise]
09:21 Lillard gets a start, Lillard and it goes!
09:24 And one for Damian Lillard!
09:27 [Crowd noise]
09:31 Wow, what a debut.
09:33 [Crowd noise]
09:34 Just his third field goal attempt of the second half.
09:37 Here's Lillard with the pick and roll that time with Giannis.
09:40 Lillard dips inside and lays it in.
09:43 Beautiful footwork from Damian Lillard.
09:46 On the other side, Damian Lillard taking his time,
09:49 shifting, little up fake, doing what he has to do, getting the little layup.
09:53 [Crowd noise]
09:55 Bobby rips down the rebound off the Sasser miss.
09:57 [Crowd noise]
09:58 And Dame lowers his head, tosses it off off the glass,
10:01 that's with his off hand too by the way for his first point.
10:04 First on Cunningham.
10:05 [Crowd noise]
10:06 Yeah, Dame just getting downhill and you could tell he was almost forcing it at this point.
10:10 Wanted.
10:10 Today!
10:11 [Crowd noise]
10:12 Freak time if you will.
10:14 [Crowd noise]
10:14 Yeah, you gotta love the hang time, oh look at that.
10:16 [Crowd noise]
10:17 Damian Lillard.
10:18 [Crowd noise]
10:19 Draws the contact, body bucket and one.
10:21 [Crowd noise]
10:22 You go and get some on the break, he's got his guy on his hip,
10:25 look at Jay, great heads up play, he's just taking it, throwing it around his back.
10:29 [Crowd noise]
10:33 Damian Lillard fires from three.
10:35 [Crowd noise]
10:36 Looks so comfortable.
10:38 [Crowd noise]
10:39 That guy's up top to be able to run out on that break.
10:41 [Crowd noise]
10:44 Came inside, flips it up with that left hand.
10:47 [Crowd noise]
10:47 Welcome sign for his offense.
10:49 [Crowd noise]
10:51 Must be loud, double team, kick out, Lillard deep three, good.
10:55 [Crowd noise]
10:57 Celtics, 50% from deep, 6 of 12 to start this contest.
11:02 Lillard, step back three, pure.
11:04 [Crowd noise]
11:06 His first minutes in the first quarter, Bobby has checked in as well off the bench.
11:09 [Crowd noise]
11:11 Dane with a hesitation goes high glass, Adia commits his first personal.
11:16 About 210 pounds, watch Dane right there,
11:18 that shoulder to him, gets the contact and then able to square up
11:21 and the nice kiss on the finish, that's a point.
11:25 Give it to Brooke, he turns the corner against Kuzma.
11:27 [Crowd noise]
11:28 Back to Dane Lillard.
11:29 [Crowd noise]
11:31 Inside the paint, count the bucket, Dane's going to work.
11:35 You won't see Pat Connathan at halftime,
11:38 but Buck's giving us the update that he's out for the rest of the game
11:40 with a right ankle injury as Dane takes it inside for two.
11:45 94 feet and if anybody's up to it, he is Alex Caruso.
11:48 [Crowd noise]
11:51 Dane finds his way to the bucket, but he can only can.
11:55 Honest, that'll be his third.
11:56 And getting the eyes for clamping Vucevic on that offensive rebound,
12:00 there's Dame on the and forced Brooke to leave Vucevic to have to pick up the basketball.
12:06 Yet no field goals in the second half for this man, Dane Lillard.
12:09 He's looking for it again, Bees has got some corner looks.
12:12 He flushes it home.
12:14 And young man out of Rainier Beach High School,
12:16 there's so many great NBA players.
12:18 Behind the back pass, Dane finding Chris Middleton.
12:21 The rhythm is good here to start.
12:23 Hurry after he sets the screen,
12:25 and then a beautiful behind the back delivery to Chris Middleton catches it.
12:29 He's not a typical first year head coach coming into a young team
12:32 that doesn't have many expectations.
12:34 Lillard knocked down the three.
12:36 This is the team that brought in Damian Lillard to win.
12:39 Now it's the Pacers back up by one.
12:41 Damian Lillard knocking down another.
12:46 He's got a groove going right now.
12:49 Halliburton should have supposed to be a screen,
12:52 but he made a mistake.
12:53 He was supposed to set a screen so Halliburton could get it back.
12:55 They lob it up.
12:57 He ran out of room, but now Lillard fires a three.
13:01 That's the timeout you gotta take.
13:05 Shot misses, that is the problem.
13:07 The shots have not been as good as the other skills,
13:10 and you don't get drafted number one by accident.
13:14 Here's Lillard, count that one with another one coming.
13:17 Bite.
13:17 And here's Dame, he's looking to throw that thing down at the last minute.
13:22 Customs, he's gonna get better and better from there.
13:24 Dame again, count the bucket and the foul.
13:28 19 in the first half,
13:31 Dame and Giannis taking over for the Bucs.
13:33 And Dame is like a mini Giannis sometimes.
13:34 Watch him stretch out with that left hand.
13:36 He's right by Chingun, he understands he's got the angle to the basket on him,
13:39 and then the stretch out with his left hand is able to finish it off without Chingun.
13:43 And hoping the addition of Damian Lillard means a return trip to the finals.
13:48 And on cue, Lillard hits another three.
13:53 Corner three, Barrett, no good.
13:56 And Lillard out of there with it.
13:59 Look out now, you gotta get back.
14:00 Lillard feeds Portis inside for two.
14:04 So you cannot give up with the Bucs.
14:06 And Curtis is just in the open floor, watch up, Dicey.
14:09 He's gonna come down inside, you're gonna...
14:12 Dame coming around the screen, guarded by Okoro.
14:15 Five now to shoot.
14:17 Dame into the lane, tough two off the glass.
14:21 Dame Lillard now with 25 points.
14:23 Dame for three up top.
14:31 Boy, he needed that.
14:32 Sammy Antonio shooting 52%.
14:36 Same to the Bucs.
14:38 Austin, pickpocketed by Lillard.
14:41 Two on one with Yano.
14:43 Two and a half to go.
14:44 Yano's out of the combo.
14:47 One of the top five scorers in the NBA on a two on one.
14:51 I mentioned no Tari Eason, no Dylan Brooks,
14:53 they need an Aaron Holliday, but Houston does.
14:56 Start knocking down some of those shots.
14:58 Damian Lillard, he was 0 for 3 from the field before that lay-in.
15:02 He's had his moments this season.
15:03 Really good efficiency start.
15:06 4 of 6 from the field, 9 points here from Dame.
15:08 Opportunity to build on that, a 24 to 18 advantage.
15:12 Dame draws the contact.
15:14 It's at one time, then watch how he protects the ball right there,
15:17 just powering through.
15:18 Hanzer reaching, Hanzer...
15:20 Tripped the Cavalier lead to 11.
15:22 Yeah, you're right.
15:23 His game and Donovan's games mirror one another.
15:26 So it's fun to watch.
15:28 Lillard with a steal.
15:30 Arguably the greatest clutch shot maker in the game,
15:35 one of the highest in clutch points.
15:36 Look at where he pulled that one from.
15:37 On cue, Dame's heating up.
15:39 Damian Lillard.
15:42 Way back to the guy who's hot in this one.
15:44 Coming off, he can run the pick and roll, pull up and shoot.
15:47 Giannis on the decompo.
15:49 Now in year 11.
15:51 30 point score a year ago.
15:54 Damian Lillard, there you go.
15:57 Lillard has his first points as a Milwaukee Buck.
16:01 And here's this cut.
16:02 Why P.J. Tucker would not help on that cut, I don't know.
16:05 It's not like you have to worry about...
16:07 Off and running.
16:09 Finding something good in transition.
16:12 Damian Lillard, there it is.
16:14 We've been waiting for it.
16:15 Here's Lillard.
16:19 Look at his shake, drives, flips it in.
16:21 Beautiful take from the seven-time All-Star.
16:26 Here's Lillard.
16:26 Finding Portis on the roll for the finish.
16:30 And those opportunities are going to be there for the Bucks
16:33 with the Knicks-Bigs playing up in the pick and roll coverage.
16:37 And tag Portis early.
16:39 That's an easy bucket for Bobby Portis.
16:41 Plenty of time for New York to play straight up defense.
16:46 Middleton.
16:47 Probing, dishing, Lillard lays it in!
16:51 Puts the foul!
16:52 It's game time!
16:57 Well, Chris Middleton finds himself in space.
17:02 And Dame just trailing the play.
17:04 Quentin Grimes not paying attention.
17:06 Kobe White knocks down the deep shot.
17:07 And Damian Lillard, look out.
17:12 I could feel that coming, right?
17:14 Upset with the last possession.
17:15 Didn't get the call that he wanted.
17:17 Makes good on it from deep.
17:18 He's put up some really good blocks for game stats.
17:21 And steals for game stats here this year.
17:23 Dame steps it back, pulls the trigger, and hits the three-pointer.
17:31 Excellent for him.
17:32 Dame Lillard fakes the pass.
17:37 What a fake that was.
17:38 And let him get in for the lefty lay-in.
17:40 He's afterburners.
17:41 I mean, once he gets a shoulder by his defensive player,
17:43 that was a great pass fake there.
17:45 But like I said earlier, his dad told him at a young age,
17:48 you can be a great defender and really stand out.
17:51 Lillard and one.
17:53 A run where it's 12 for 13, 12 for 14.
17:57 Excellent screen by Brooke.
17:58 He's got one to--
17:59 Dame Lillard usually takes over the last four minutes.
18:03 Get right there.
18:06 He's just waiting for his four minutes.
18:09 I'm going to have a free trip to Vegas with a showcase.
18:14 Along with the championship trophy and the $500,000.
18:17 Bullseye!
18:19 Lillard!
18:21 All I told you, it's Dame time now.
18:22 He's got eight points and three rebounds and two assists.
18:29 Nice step through by Damian Lillard.
18:31 That was nice.
18:33 Beasley got hung up.
18:34 Caruso flips it out to Vucevic.
18:36 I'm not sure that Caruso knew Beasley was still out there.
18:38 Nice play by Lillard.
18:39 He got his hand to tip it up there.
18:41 A steal for B.
18:42 A drive for Dame.
18:44 And a score for Dame.
18:45 Another one in the second quarter.
18:46 Dame takes the peak of the shot clock.
18:49 Four not a shoot.
18:50 Crosses it over.
18:51 Dame takes it to the inside by a challenge.
18:53 No matter.
18:55 He's going to make that.
18:56 19 points for Dame.
18:57 Off of makes and misses.
18:59 Getting down the court.
19:01 And Milwaukee can't set up their defense.
19:03 Lillard will drive and float and score.
19:06 For the first time tonight.
19:08 Being effective on offense.
19:09 Whoever plays a little bit of defense here will have a chance to win this game.
19:13 Inside Lopez.
19:15 Great feed by Lillard.
19:17 And that was a beautiful pass there as you said.
19:20 Beautiful look.
19:21 And you can watch it materialize.
19:24 Yeah but who cares about that on Turner?
19:28 It's all about ESPN today.
19:29 I'm an ESPN employee.
19:31 All right.
19:32 What a loyal employee already.
19:33 But that's only the fourth turnover for the Pacers.
19:36 Just three in that first half.
19:38 Lillard finds some room.
19:39 Nails the three-pointer.
19:41 His first three of the night.
19:42 So efficient as a young player.
19:46 And that's hard to teach.
19:47 Lillard.
19:48 Lopez.
19:50 Count it.
19:50 And one.
19:51 Can roll with Dame.
19:53 It's been Lopez last couple possessions.
19:56 Last time he pops.
19:57 This time he rolls.
19:58 The pocket pass by Dame is on time.
20:00 DeRozan losing nearly.
20:03 He does lose it.
20:04 Ellie Beasley has choices.
20:07 Over to Dame Lillard.
20:08 He finds the nice hole.
20:09 Sending a message.
20:12 Vujovic also we talked about is on that list.
20:16 The top five worst effective field goal percentages.
20:18 But not playing for those percentages here tonight.
20:21 Ellie Beasley has another three.
20:23 Looking for his three-point shot.
20:25 Chris over to Brooke.
20:25 Dame Lillard left all alone from the wing.
20:32 2,451 three-pointers.
20:35 And Dame Lillard has made the fifth most threes in NBA history.
20:38 Mid-range extraordinaire.
20:41 He does a great job getting to a spot around 15 to 17 feet each elbow.
20:46 Dame on the other end.
20:47 Dave Kansan from the near side.
20:50 Uh-oh.
20:50 Dame.
20:50 Dame starting to heat up.
20:51 From the mid-range.
20:52 Comes off the ball screen.
20:54 In drop defense.
20:55 He's dropping it in the net.
20:56 One more shot at this before the half ends.
20:58 Get it to Giannis.
20:59 Gets it right back to Dame.
21:01 Leans back and uncorks a beauty.
21:03 Another three-ball falls for Dame.
21:06 He's got five in his first half.
21:08 And what a half it was.
21:11 Come early here in this one.
21:12 Damian Lillard letting it fly.
21:15 And he is heating up those nets.
21:16 A reminder coming up at half.
21:18 Dame's face.
21:20 Dame slips in the passing lane.
21:23 Off to the races.
21:25 Does a good job of the body control for another two.
21:27 And Dame Lillard with a 30-point game.
21:29 Our Michelob Ultra defensive play of the game.
21:33 Dame, pick in the pocket.
21:35 Well, that's what happens when you've got the eagle arms extended.
21:39 I tried to get another thousand here in this game.
21:41 If you could, Dame Lillard.
21:43 Offensive pull-up game.
21:45 Oh, here he goes.
21:47 Get down, AC.
21:48 Get down.
21:50 So that's another-- I went out on a limb when I said that, didn't I?
21:52 Dame, another three-pointer.
21:55 And the Knicks have their first lead.
22:00 Lillard.
22:00 Unlimited range for Dame Lillard.
22:03 He could muscle and get up over the top.
22:08 Randall averaging 27 points per game in the month of December.
22:11 Step back two.
22:12 Lillard finally connects for his first points of the day.
22:15 It's a 30-22 edge in that category here right now.
22:20 Dame Lillard gets fouled from behind.
22:23 Count the bucket that time.
22:27 It's in rhythm.
22:29 It is going to be beautiful to watch.
22:32 Because you think about the Dame that was last year when he was putting up--
22:36 [BIRDS CHIRPING]
22:39 Yeah, he's setting the screen on Dame, who saw Malik Peasley the entire way.
22:43 And he gets his own shot great.
22:45 But obviously, him getting to the rim, getting to the paint, it creates a lot.
22:49 Nice shot by Dame.
22:49 And they answer.
22:51 And so I think that's what you've got to worry about.
22:52 Because when this Detroit team is five years old, but catch and shoot, he's still got that.
22:56 Dame gets it right back.
22:59 He squares his shoulders.
23:01 What a shot.
23:02 That-- that shot.
