02:32let's give up the NDC
02:34Purdue
02:35he's got the height
02:36we're not talking about an inch or two here
02:37it's pretty easy to score when you can see clear over the top of your opponent's head
02:39Spree the long tube
02:44Nails it from 21 feet
02:48Brown setting up
02:51they thread it underneath
02:53it's out of bounds

02:56Houston in basketball
03:00Ewing long range
03:03that's a nice way to start
03:04he sinks his first shot of the game
03:07they swing it out of the right wing
03:10the Bulls are passing it around but the defense is really making them work
03:13they're looking to run the court
03:15he's got two points
03:18no you gotta keep him out of the paint
03:23go go
03:25Brown waits for the right time
03:28you the man you the man
03:30they pass across the court
03:31Kukoc
03:32they've got the fast break
03:34could be
03:36once he gets the right back deep
03:37you can't stop it
03:38he's the real current speedy guitarist
03:39all rolled up into one
03:40he just owns the paint right now
03:41every time he's inside he's getting two

03:56Brown

03:58it's hit loose
04:00it's stolen
04:01they're looking for easy transition bucking
04:03Brown
04:05Kukoc accelerates
04:06Not too loose, not too loose!
04:08Kukoc accelerates. They pass it right side.
04:10They pass it inside.
04:12Knocked away.
04:14Hawkins spots up.
04:16Nice job of keeping your man off balance and out of step out there tonight.
04:18That's right. They're pushing it right back at him.
04:20The Bulls are maybe being a little too patient this time now.
04:24Sprewell draws his first whistle of the night.
04:28Hawkins brings it in.
04:30They spread it inside.
04:32They drop it down on the block.
04:34He's got 4 points.
04:38The Knicks have the ball in our league.
04:40Well, it's a 4.
04:42Ewing on the penetration.
04:44Brand passes.
04:46Tosses it.
04:48He doesn't have the size to be effective on the inside.
04:50It's as simple as that.
04:52Yeah, you have to wonder how long is it going to be before the middle line of game.
04:54Routh dees up on the ball.
04:56Ward, central drive.
04:58Ewing rips it through.
05:00Routh has a good handle on the ball.
05:02They're going to the big guy.
05:04He has 2.
05:10Ward showing nice patience.
05:14They pass it out right.
05:16Ewing, the midrange shot.
05:18The defender didn't have a chance on that one, Bob.
05:20He faded back as he released the ball.
05:22He just walked it right in.
05:24You can't bend that shit. You can't get to it.
05:26Drills it.
05:28They now drill it by 5.
05:30Ward sets up the offense.
05:32Knocked loose.
05:34It's taken away.
05:36They hammer it inside.
05:38The Bulls take their time setting up the shuttle.
05:40They're running right down the court.
05:42Houston drives to the basket.
05:44He's got 4 points.
05:48Brown get ready to run the play.
05:50Tukocz passes in.
05:54The long range shot.
05:58Ewing passes the ball.
06:00Houston from inside.
06:02And they're now on top by 9.
06:04Brown controls the dribble.
06:06Tukocz with the outside jumper.
06:09Brown controls the dribble.
06:11Kukoc with the outside jumper.
06:14There's the buzzer. At the end of the first quarter, it's 20 to 11.
06:29There's a pretty big discrepancy in the shooting percentages here.
06:31Well, I think what caused the difference here is tempo.
06:33When you establish the tempo of the game, you get a rhythm offensively.
06:35It makes it start to fall for you.
06:37That's the fourth of the game.
06:38Houston, shoots!
06:45There it is!
06:46Good.
06:47Down in the trenches, name the game, Bob.
06:48His size.
06:49And he's losing it right now.
06:53The Knicks have a lead in the ball.
06:54The score, 20 to 13.
06:57He gets another basket, and he's on fire, bud!
06:59He sure is, Bob.
07:00Gotta keep getting the hot guy the Rock.
07:01That's what you need to do to win.
07:03Hawkins.
07:05Good shot!
07:06They're back within striking distance.
07:07They're down only half a dozen.
07:09They pass it left side.
07:10Hawkins.
07:11Hawkins is hit with his first personal.
07:17Ewing doesn't get the first free throw.
07:21He drops in the second free throw.
07:23Brand tosses it in.
07:25Brown stays with the dribble.
07:26They pass it out left.
07:27Don't let him got you!
07:28Don't let him got you!
07:29You don't let him got you!
07:30Kukoc.
07:31Big time play right here.
07:32You got a guy wide open for the trade, and all you got to do is to block his hands.
07:35Pass the backbreaker!
07:36Pass the backbreaker!
07:37Pass the backbreaker!
07:38Ward at the controls.
07:39He's setting up the offense.
07:41Hawkins is hit with his second personal.
07:43Beautiful lead inside.
07:44There was only one place to put that ball, and he got there.
07:51Sprewell converts a three-point play.
07:53Purdue throws it in.
07:55Brown still working on his man.
07:57Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball!
07:58They feed it to the post.
07:59They feed it inside.
08:01Purdue beating range.
08:02They're trying to get the easy scores.
08:04Sailor out!
08:05He has nine.
08:10Brown holds onto it.
08:11Kukoc lets it go!
08:14No, no, no!
08:15That's not what we...
08:16There's the whistle, and it's out of bounds.
08:17That's their third turnover.
08:18Ewing brings it in.
08:19Take it to the rim!
08:20Take it to the rim!
08:21LJ thunders it through!
08:23They move the Trebellan double-fing as they lead by Leavitt.
08:25Come on, D! Where's the prod?
08:26Where's the prod?
08:27Where's the prod?
08:29Brown controls the dribble.
08:30Oh, oh!
08:35They swing it outright.
08:36Kukoc!
08:37They push it up the court.
08:40Oh, no!
08:41He doesn't do that!
08:42Fadeaway shot, and it is good.
08:43Bob, you've got to have nerves and skills.
08:44You bet.
08:45He's really cool under pressure, right?
08:48Brown has a good handle on the ball.
08:49Hawkins moves to the hoop.
08:54Releases.
08:55They're off to the races.
08:58Houston drives.
08:59Brown, showing nice patience.
09:04Purdue, the dribble drive.
09:06The Bulls, can't seem to penetrate this defense.
09:08They're all over them.
09:09Great concentration.
09:10Kept the eye on the hoop, and hit the shot over the defense.
09:13Nice shot, and wasn't distracted at all.
09:14Two minutes!
09:15This could be nasty!
09:16Purdue drives to the basket.
09:21Look out!
09:22Coach, gives it up.
09:23Take it, take it!
09:24Purdue, as a coach, you remind your players that they've got to guard the hoop from the shooter as much as you want to guard the shooter from the hoop.
09:28That was a great job above.
09:29Really great effort.
09:30The Knicks are having trouble getting a good shot off.
09:31Where's LePont?
09:32Where's LePont?
09:33Where's LePont?
09:34Where's LePont?
09:35Where's LePont?
09:36Where's LePont?
09:37Where's LePont?
09:381-13 to go.
09:39They drop it inside.
09:40Good coach.
09:41Good coach.
09:42This is just an awful drought they're on right now.
09:44This is gonna take them right out of this game.
09:45Let's take a tour.
09:46They feed the post.
09:47Scream with the jam.
09:48The clock shows 0.9 second left.
09:50They rotate across court.
09:51Purdue leads through traffic.
09:52A lot of traffic.
09:53They're in the middle of the hoop.
09:54That was a great job above.
09:55That was a great job above.
09:56Really great effort.
09:57The Knicks are having trouble getting a good shot off.
09:58Where's LePont?
09:59Where's LePont?
10:00Where's LePont?
10:011-13 to go.
10:02They drop it inside.
10:03Good coach.
10:04This is just an awful drought they're on right now.
10:06This is gonna take them right out of this game.
10:07Let's take a tour.
10:08They feed the post.
10:11That shot misses and the cold streak continues.
10:12How about your jacket?
10:13He can't be happy with that performance mounted.
10:14I don't know if that's gonna fit you.
10:15Bull.
10:16Brand, inbound the ball.
10:22Go, go.
10:23Go, go.
10:24Brown tosses the ball.
10:26Yet another rebound.
10:27In case you've lost count, you can see his total right there.
10:29He just knows exactly where to be.
10:30It's like you can see it to the future and know which way the ball is gonna come off the rim.
10:33Spooky.
10:34The Knicks are a little frustrated.
10:35They're looking for just the right shot.
10:36They have the fast break.
10:38For that win.
10:39Dean up with the ball handler.
10:40And it's out of bounds.
10:41Next ball.
10:42U-8 tosses it in.
10:46That's the horn.
10:47And at halftime it's 38 to 21.
10:52We're gonna pause briefly on the Sega Sports Network for halftime.
11:03But before we leave you, let's take a quick look at the halftime statistics.
11:07Reduce throws it in.
11:19The Bulls have the basketball but are trailing 38 to 21.
11:24Ward contests the ball.
11:26Sprewell dishes the ball.
11:28Give it up.
11:29Give it up.
11:30Give it up.
11:31Houston on the penetration.
11:32Now convert.
11:33The Bulls are maybe being a little too patient with the ball.
11:37Purdue from short range.
11:38Grand.
11:39Purdue.
11:40Hawkins steps out of bounds.
11:41Johnson brings it in.
11:43Sprewell waits for the right time.
11:44The Knicks are having trouble penetrating the defense.
11:45Great shot.
11:46And these guys are playing on unclinic.
11:47As you can see they're really shooting well.
11:48Bobby are just pulling tonight.
11:49Simple as that.
11:50You got him.
11:51Purdue accelerates.
11:52With the finger roll.
11:53That's it.
11:54That's it.
11:55That's it.
11:56That's it.
11:57That's it.
11:58That's it.
11:59That's it.
12:00That's it.
12:01That's it.
12:02That's it.
12:03That's it.
12:04That's it.
12:05That's it.
12:06That's it.
12:07That's it.
12:08That's it.
12:09That's it.
12:10That's it.
12:11To be careful.
12:16Spree stays with the dribble.
12:18They keep trading them, and they're pulling by with this run.
12:20Rod, how tough is it going to be to come back from this deficit?
12:22Well as we see here, nothing is impossible.
12:23But it's going to take a lot of work and a lot of luck.
12:25Go!
12:26Go!
12:27Go!
12:28They swing it right side.
12:29They hammer it inside.
12:30Now, on the mark from seven.
12:32Spreewell keeps the ball and waits for the right time.
12:37Hawkins defending the ball.
12:39Spreewell.
12:40Kukoc tosses it.
12:46The Bulls are passing it around, but the defense is really back in the corner.
12:49Springwell, that's his second whistle of the night.
12:54Fulkins gets the first to fall.
12:59He gets them both.
13:02Johnson inbounds the ball.
13:04Springwell has a good handle on the ball.
13:06He now has 10.
13:08Larry Johnson.
13:11Brown waits for the right time.
13:14UA passes.
13:15Will get the whistle and it's called out of bounds.
13:18UA tosses it in.
13:20Look out below!
13:23The Bulls with the basketball, but they trail it 44 to 27.
13:29Bulls ball.
13:31Purdue brings it in.
13:32Spree guards the ball.
13:35Brown.
13:36They're looking to push the pace.
13:39That's a bad pass.
13:40Turn the ball over.
13:42LaRue comes off the bench.
13:43Bulls ball.
13:45Kukoc throws it in.
13:46LaRue steps on the line.
13:49Houston brings it in.
13:51The Knicks continue passing it around.
13:55He's got the high end.
13:56If you're smart, you'll keep feeding him the ball.
13:59LaRue showing nice patience.
14:01Passes the ball.
14:03Kukoc fires.
14:05He's just having difficulty finding his tug, Bob.
14:07Please look for an easier shot, not force it up like he's been doing.
14:10They move it right side.
14:12Drop it down the block.
14:14The ball's loose.
14:15Oh, nice feel.
14:16Nice feel.
14:24They swing it left side.
14:26Spreewell tosses the ball.
14:29The Knicks.
14:31He gets the basket and he is taking over Roddy.
14:33Super ass.
14:34Just for the point of comparison.
14:35He has stepped it up big time and that's the reason they're winning.
14:39They pass it inside.
14:41Nails the nylon.
14:43They've narrowed the margin but are still way down.
14:45Spreewell gets the play from the bench.
14:48The Knicks are a little frustrated.
14:49They're looking for just the right shot.
14:52He's got the ball for the game.
14:55LaRue has the ball and sets up the offense.
14:58Kukoc.
14:59I always say, you make the highlight real offense, you win games on defense.
15:02Defense has earned his stripes in this game, Bob.
15:04The Knicks can't seem to penetrate this defense.
15:05They're all over him.
15:10LaRue controls the dribble.
15:12Kips it up.
15:15Brand.
15:16They're racing it back.
15:18Spreewell on the penetration.
15:20Gold in the layup.
15:21And they keep adding to the lead.
15:24LaRue just across midcourt working the offense.
15:27Brand.
15:28They're right through.
15:29They cut to the advantage but still have a long way to go.
15:34Spree.
15:35Let's go.
15:37That's it for the quarter and at the end of the third it's 54 to 31.
15:49He's back into the game.
15:50And he looks a lot more juiced up than he did a few minutes ago.
15:52I think a little downtime did him some good, Rod.
15:53I think he did too, Rod.
15:54Let's see how he does after the rest.
15:56LaRue is pulled out of the game.
15:58Ewing imbounds the ball.
15:59Orc, dropped in the layup.
16:03The Bulls with the ball in the lead.
16:0456 to 31.
16:06Kukoc flips it up and in.
16:10Springwell still working on his man.
16:11They sling across court.
16:12Six seconds on the shot clock.
16:13Kukoc, man on man defense.
16:14Purdue's now a four and gets the defensive board.
16:15That's his fourth of the game.
16:16Brand.
16:17Some lambs at home.
16:18Spreewell stands back and calls the play.
16:19You in.
16:20It's good, man.
