00:00NBA basketball on 2K Sports, and along with Grant Hill and Doris Burt, I'm Brian Anderson,
00:06joined by Allie LaForce, our reporter. Hey, Allie.
00:09Hey, Brian. Well, the Pelicans head coach Willie Green raves about Brandon Ingram. He said,
00:14Brandon's otherworldly talented has an extremely high basketball IQ. He's a great teammate,
00:20a great human being. It's just fun to be around him, to coach him, and to learn from him.
00:25B.A., two-way street.
00:26Hey, it doesn't get much better than that, Allie. Thanks for that.
00:30And both teams tonight, unafraid to run offense through their bigs, Grant.
00:34Talk about the value of being able to do that.
00:36Yeah, B.A., you know, it just speaks to how both teams can beat you in multiple ways of playing.
00:41I think it can lead to higher percentage looks with the bigs running the offense.
00:46You can strike a nice balance between inside and out, which coaches are preaching right now.
00:51And the Cleveland starting five.
00:53Okoro at the three, with Mobley at the four.
00:56Darius Garland is out there with Donovan Mitchell.
00:58And it's Allen in at the pivot spot, manning the middle.
01:02And for the Pelicans.
01:03In at forward, it's Ingram and Williamson.
01:06McCollum and Jones, the tandem in the backcourt.
01:08And it's Valanchunas in at the five, roaming the paint.
01:12Now here's Garland.
01:15Launches it.
01:17It's hauled in by Zion Williamson.
01:23McCollum on the left side.
01:24Pass to Valanchunas.
01:27Pass to Valanchunas.
01:31Outside Ingram.
01:33Now here's Jones.
01:34Clock at six.
01:39Valanchunas with a screen on Garland.
01:42The Cavaliers pull it in.
01:43I think this is a spot he has got to become more consistent from.
01:47If you want to command the defender's respect.
01:49And one thing you know you'll always get with Valanchunas.
01:52He's going to rebound.
01:54Offense, defense.
01:56No matter what, he's attacking the glass.
01:59Now here's Allen.
02:00It's stolen by Ingram.
02:05First quarter, just over a minute play.
02:07Valanchunas finds Jones.
02:09Here's McCollum.
02:14Back to Valanchunas.
02:18Here's Williamson.
02:20Good D by Mobley.
02:22Well, defensively, if you allow him to get this close, you're playing with fire.
02:25He just happened to miss that one.
02:31Mitchell against Jones.
02:33Mobley on the screen.
02:35Garland for three.
02:36And he can't get that one.
02:37And it's New Orleans taking it the other way.
02:39And with his size in reach, Valanchunas is a monster on the board, Grant.
02:42That is truly impossible to move in the paint.
02:44He gets a wide base and just vacuums missed shots.
02:47And his great touch allows him to rack up second chance points as well.
02:50Glad to get that out of the way.
02:52Now maybe these teams will settle down that they finally got a bucket on the board.
02:55Fantastic replay we just saw of the mobile one drive.
02:58He's hosting the defense and getting it close.
03:00He'll take possessions like that one all day.
03:02Now here's McCollum.
03:04Oh, that's up by Williamson.
03:05And we know CJ can score it.
03:07But the passing component of this game, I mean, McCollum's really upgraded it.
03:11Mitchell, pass to Mobley.
03:12Back to Mitchell.
03:13Mobley, a screen on Jones.
03:15The floater.
03:16McCollum pulls it in.
03:18The Pelicans have gone 1-5 to start things off.
03:23Just over two and a half minutes played here in the first.
03:25Williamson outside.
03:26And it falls.
03:29Two for three from the field so far.
03:31So dangerous inside.
03:33Williamson has a great feel for how to capitalize from there.
03:37McCollum against Garland.
03:39Pass to Allen.
03:42Here's Mitchell.
03:45Out to the right wing.
03:47Clock is at three.
03:47Over Jones.
03:48Mitchell misses.
03:49Well, that's a blown defensive coverage.
03:51But it doesn't matter.
03:51He cannot answer the bell.
03:53McCollum outside.
03:55Allen Junis with it.
03:56Oh, it's stolen by Mitchell.
03:57Can't push it up.
03:58Here's Cleveland.
04:00And there's Okoro.
04:01That one's good.
04:02And the assist by Mitchell.
04:03But what a burst from Okoro.
04:04Gets himself back up the floor.
04:06Beats the defense.
04:07Gets a hand to finish the pass break.
04:08Nicely done.
04:09Ingram finds Allen Junis.
04:10Oh, stolen by Allen.
04:11Here's Okoro.
04:16Pass to Mitchell.
04:17Three-pointer.
04:18Allen Junis for the rebound.
04:20The Pelicans have gone two of six to open up this game.
04:22And after a few seasons of anemic offense,
04:24the captain finally started to turn things around.
04:26Yes, they have.
04:27And they made a big step forward.
04:28There's a nice balance to their offense.
04:30They get it back.
04:31Ingram up top.
04:35Now, Allen Junis.
04:37Allen defending.
04:37Just for the shoot.
04:38Here's McCollum.
04:39And again, New Orleans.
04:40No good.
04:41Cleveland has gone 0-3 from downtown.
04:43On the wing, Mitchell.
04:45Probably outside.
04:46Carlin to three.
04:48McCollum pulls it in.
04:49Well, the Pelicans shooting just 25% for the field in the first quarter.
04:52Inside.
04:53Allen Junis.
04:53That's good.
04:54And it's McCollum with the assist.
04:56McCollum's got three assists now in this one.
04:58The Cavs trailing.
05:00Cleveland calls timeout.
05:01Trying anything now to get them out of this slump.
05:03Just feels like the basket is looking awfully small to them right now.
05:06They're having a hard time getting anything to fall.
05:0812 hours a day.
05:09Bowling.
05:09That rabbit.
05:10What is a good at?
05:11Yes, sir.
05:12Standing in here.
05:13That rabbit.
05:13Oh, no way!
05:14Oh, that rabbit.
05:15They're just trouble.
05:15Interesting.
05:16Why are you!
05:21Come on.
05:23Come on.
05:24Take a break!
05:25Jah.
05:25Go!
05:26Just gutes.
05:27currency.
05:27Jewel.
05:27First of all.
05:2722 foot.
05:28...
06:08And it's a completely new group for the Pelicans.
06:15And the Cavaliers will go for a different look here.
06:17Wade, he's checked in for Allen.
06:18Osman comes in for Okoro.
06:19LaBert's checked in for Donovan Mitchell.
06:21And Rubio subbed in for Garland.
06:33LaBert outside.
06:36Gastamobile.
06:38And one-on-one left in the first.
06:43Here's Daniels.
06:44He's checked by Burke.
06:45Daniels misses.
06:46And it was a great chance to finish on the break.
06:48And he flubs it.
06:49It was right there for him.
06:51He'd love to have that one back.
06:52That was embarrassing.
06:53Now here's Rubio.
06:55And the layup falls.
06:56Well, the balance that Ricky Rubio has,
06:58even under duress, stays Tom and finds a way to score it.
07:01Pass to Murphy.
07:05Here's Daniels.
07:05Nance with a screen on LaBert.
07:10Daniels misses.
07:11For Cleveland.
07:12They've gone only three for nine for the floor.
07:14One second separating the shot clock and the game clock.
07:16And here's LaBert.
07:23Five to shoot.
07:26Obli is screen on Nance.
07:29And that misses.
07:30That would have come up.
07:31Nance will tie game here as we end this low scoring first quarter.
07:34And the second quarter about to get started.
07:35We'll be back in a moment.
07:36Six.
07:44That would be sad.
07:46Yeah, they're going again here in the second quarter.
07:48Barely close game so far.
07:49And looking at what we've seen from the Pelicans,
07:51what do you think, guys?
07:51Well, they came out with a physical presence
07:53and made rebounding a priority.
07:55I think it's why they hold the lead here early
07:57because they're controlling the flow of the game
07:58with those second chance opportunities.
08:00All right, on the floor for Cleveland.
08:07Get him going in the second.
08:08We've got Jetty Osmond.
08:09LaBert is out there with Ricky Rubio.
08:11Then it's Jared Allen.
08:12And it's Wade in at the power forward.
08:13Allen, pass to LaBert.
08:17Can't get the go-ahead bucket.
08:19And here are the Pelicans now.
08:22Oh, he got fouled on his way up.
08:24He'll head to the line to shoot two.
08:26The doors the last few years,
08:27we've seen teams put together rosters loaded with talent.
08:29But it hasn't always translated to rings.
08:31I think what we've learned, Brian,
08:32is that just accumulating talent
08:34is not enough to win in this league.
08:35What you have to find is a team that fits together well
08:37in terms of the individual parts.
08:40There also has to be that elusive chemistry.
08:42You can't define it.
08:43Hard to win without it.
08:46And he drops the first for the Cavaliers.
08:49Green's checked in for Osmond.
08:50Mitchell comes in for LaBert.
08:51And Garland is subbed in for Rubio.
08:59And so he makes both from the line.
09:05Now here's Mitchell.
09:07Still getting warmed up offensively.
09:08No bucket shed in the game from him.
09:10Green for three.
09:12Pelicans cleared away.
09:15Here's Alvarado.
09:19Driving to the basket.
09:20Eddie Banks in the layup.
09:21And the Pelicans lead by four.
09:23Despite the size mismatch,
09:25getting a little aggressive down there in the paint.
09:27Some guys just relish the challenge.
09:29Find a way.
09:30And he does.
09:31Garland doesn't go that time.
09:33And it's New Orleans.
09:33Take it the other way.
09:34Derek Garland has not only become a leader on the floor of the A.
09:37He's also become the emotional leader.
09:39One of the more vocal guys on this entire team.
09:41Let's check in with our reporter,
09:42Allie LaForce.
09:43Well, guys, the Cavaliers surprised many with their ascension.
09:45Quick, Vickerstaff said,
09:46they had to be really patient.
09:47There's a difficult time spot.
09:48The star center, Derek Allen, said,
09:49quote, no matter who's in front of this big or small,
09:51we're going to go out there until the end.
09:52All right?
09:53Yeah, that's what got him here, Allie.
09:55And for Garland doors,
09:56the production has stuck out the most.
09:57Oh, boy.
09:58I mean, he's become ultra-productive on the offensive end.
10:00The points, the rebounds, the assists,
10:02all are going up.
10:03This guy is becoming one of the most well-rounded young guards
10:05in the entire league.
10:07And let's quickly check out the scoring breakdown here
10:09for the Pelicans.
10:10They've been really going at the defense in the painted area.
10:12And so far, the opposition really hasn't had an answer for them.
10:14Yeah, and what an absolute display of passing
10:16in the early stages of this game.
10:18A good deal of their points coming directly
10:20off quality passes.
10:26The Cavaliers have gone 0 for 4 in the second quarter.
10:29Offensively, it's been a struggle for them.
10:31Yeah, they need to string together some shots
10:32to have any kind of chance.
10:34Garland with the ball.
10:34Guarded by Valanciunas.
10:35And finished off by Garland.
10:37Well, this is a combination of speed and quickness.
10:39Darien's Garland knows how to drive the basketball.
10:43Pass to Valanciunas.
10:45Jones with the ball.
10:48Valanciunas with a screen on Mitchell.
10:50Here's Jones.
10:51The rebound by Allen.
10:53Cleveland has gone over 2 from outside in the second quarter.
10:55On deep, Mitchell.
10:56And the rebound goes to the Pelicans.
10:58Oh, man.
10:59He can't get anything to fall.
11:00You can feel his frustration.
11:02He is trying to shoot his way out of it.
11:03And it might be better for him to pass the basketball
11:06at this point.
11:06Ingram by Valanciunas.
11:07And a dunk by Valanciunas.
11:09Well, it's a steal of line from you.
11:11Up high and down hard, Jonas Valanciunas.
11:13Y'all catch me, fella.
11:14Pass to Allen.
11:17Three minutes of action thus far on the second.
11:21And the layup is good off the glass.
11:23Allen's got his first bucket of the night.
11:25And you like the balance here.
11:26Not just falling in love with the three ball.
11:30Now McCollum.
11:31Looking for his first basket still in this one.
11:35Pass to Ingram.
11:36Shot clock at six.
11:42He can't get it to go.
11:43So Cleveland will take it the other way.
11:46Mitchell, the pass to Garland.
11:47And the whistle blows.
11:48It's going to be on Zion Williamson.
11:50That's his first foul.
11:52Richardson's checked in for the Pelicans.
11:53Evan Mobley, he's checked in for Cleveland.
11:55McCollum comes in for Green.
12:01And almost four minutes gone in the second quarter of play.
12:05New Orleans in the lead.
12:06Pass to Richardson.
12:11Valanchunas with it.
12:12Allen defending.
12:13McCollum outside.
12:16Valanchunas with a screen on Mitchell.
12:17Lock it four.
12:18They grab their own miss.
12:20The shot's good by McCollum.
12:22And the Pelicans lead by seven.
12:24Literally a perimeter player.
12:25McCollum can go inside.
12:27Pass to Mobley.
12:29Mobley, a screen on Richardson.
12:31The three from Mitchell.
12:31The Cavaliers again cannot hit.
12:33The Pelicans have got four of eight shots to drop in the second.
12:37Here's Ingram.
12:39That one rolls around and rims out.
12:41Cleveland has gone.
12:420 for 4 from beyond the arc here in the second quarter.
12:43Garland against McCollum.
12:48Pass to Mobley.
12:48Outside Mitchell.
12:49Three-pointer.
12:50Nothing's cleared away.
12:53Outside Ingram.
12:571-0-2 left in the first half.
13:00Puts it up from 12.
13:02That's out.
13:02No good.
13:03And it's Cleveland the other way.
13:05Mitchell, the pass to Garland.
13:10Pass to Acoro.
13:11This one's the three.
13:12And it's Richardson with the rebound.
13:14It's tough to get open in this league.
13:15And when you do, it hurts not to capitalize.
13:17And the Pelicans miss again.
13:18And the defense got away with one there.
13:20I mean, that's the shot he typically makes.
13:22Eight-second difference between the shot clock and game clock.
13:24Garland finds Mobley.
13:27Outside Mitchell.
13:28Mobley, a screen on Richardson.
13:30Mobley with it.
13:30And it's Ingram picking him up.
13:31And Mobley with the basket.
13:33On the assist by Mitchell.
13:34Mobley's got his first bucket in this one.
13:36That's just big-time playmaking ability from Donovan Mitchell.
13:38This guy working the defense to create a shot opportunity.
13:41McCullough way out.
13:42And no good.
13:43Trying to get that one to go.
13:44And a pretty tightly contested game here as we have the first half.
13:47The Pelicans on top leading by five.
13:49And join us right back here after the break for the start of the second half.
13:51The second half basketball is a possibility.
14:04And here's the тай to go.
14:08And here is the U.S.
14:16The second half of basketball is upon us, and we may be in for an exciting finish, based on how close of a game we've seen so far.
14:30The calf trailing.
14:32Jones and Ingram are on the wings.
14:34Zion and Valanchunas playing up front, and it's McCollum at the one spot.
14:37That's the Pelicans' five.
14:38I'll tell you, this has not been his game.
14:39He's making it worse with shot selection like that.
14:41And few players are as electric as Zion.
14:44The speed and power he plays with, something you see once every few decades.
14:47Now here's McCollum.
14:48Valanchunas with a screen on Garland.
14:50Here's McCollum.
14:51Bubbly grabs the board.
14:53Bubbly's got his fifth rebound in this one.
14:56Outside Garland.
14:58Mitchell with a screen on McCollum.
15:00Pass to Okoro.
15:00Beyond the arc.
15:03And it's Allen who slams it home.
15:05You know what?
15:05That's all about hustle and a nose for the basketball.
15:08Tremendous job on the offensive class by Jared Allen.
15:10And if you're just joining us, we play just over a minute here in the third.
15:15Oh, he hangs in there and cashes in on the second-chance points.
15:18And the Pelicans lead by five.
15:20Hard work creating the second-chance opportunity.
15:22And Mobley throws it down.
15:25Wow, that is a big-time airtime by Evan Mobley.
15:28My goodness.
15:28And the blend of speed and power, as you said, Grant, Zion is unasked.
15:31He's a Rhino with a jet pack.
15:33And on defense, when you see him coming in the open floor, you don't want to get in his way.
15:37The explosiveness in the paint is really what makes him so efficient.
15:40For Cleveland, they've gotten two of four shots to go since the break.
15:43Here's Okoro.
15:44Pass to Mitchell.
15:44Down, Mobley.
15:45That one's good.
15:46Mitchell making the play.
15:48Mitchell's got three assists tonight.
15:49And this is why guys love playing with Donovan Mitchell.
15:51Can he score it?
15:51Yes.
15:52But he loves to send his teammates up.
15:54Oh, here's Ingram.
15:54Boy, he's been patient so far.
15:56Nothing out on the scoreboard.
15:59Outside Mitchell.
16:00To the paint.
16:02Here's Allen.
16:03Uses the glass to finish the layup.
16:05And Allen is a problem right there.
16:06This guy's so good at using his body and his touch.
16:08Time call here.
16:09The pal kid decided to talk it over.
16:11To the 낯inissee do no send them out to the channel.
16:13Get that.
16:13All right, everyone.
16:15All right, baby.
16:15We're not on the ground.
16:20All right.
16:21All right.
17:21We're just under two and a half minutes past outside Jones.
17:28The shot won't fall.
17:30Green with a defensive effort.
17:31The Cavaliers leading.
17:32Wow, potent offense.
17:33It's been fun to watch.
17:34They're just aggressive and effective.
17:36Taking it right to the defense.
17:37Here's Wade.
17:38But no scoring yet from him, but that's likely to change.
17:40Pass to Okoro.
17:43That's not Garland.
17:44Can't connect from 14.
17:45Boy, he really wanted that shot.
17:47Trying to make the defense pay for leading it that wide open.
17:51Jones up top.
17:52Green covering.
17:55That shot off.
17:56And it's Cleveland the other way.
17:59Pass to Wade.
18:01Here's Okoro.
18:02For the left side, Wade.
18:04Here's Garland.
18:04Murphy pulls it in.
18:07The Pelicans have gone only one for six here in the second half.
18:12Jones with the ball.
18:14That's the screen.
18:15Jones drives in.
18:16And a missed layup.
18:18The Cavaliers have gone four of eight in the third.
18:21Garland.
18:21Pass to Mobley.
18:22Now here's Garland.
18:25Defense right on it.
18:26Pass to Okoro.
18:27Now here's Mobley.
18:30No luck on that one.
18:32The Pelicans trail.
18:33Coming out of high school, Evan Mobley was a five-star recruit.
18:35He had his fifth of college programs and he finally settled on USC.
18:39Now here's Garland.
18:40Now here's Mobley.
18:41He's guarded by dance.
18:43Mobley passes to Garland.
18:44Count it.
18:44Good.
18:45Garland's got six points.
18:46Evan Mobley might be a big man, but boy, how about the touch on that pass right there?
18:50And the Pelicans call time here.
18:52For your feet, listen to us.
18:55We're going to have to make sure we're going to have to be.
19:22We're going to have to make sure we're going to have to make sure we're going to have to be.
19:25a different look for Cleveland
