Transcript

00:00Great to have you with us. I'm Brian Anderson. With me tonight, Grant Hill and Richard Jefferson

00:05with Allie LaForce joining us courtside. So the opening lineup here for the Clippers.

00:11Harden pairs with Beal to make up the guard set. Kawhi and Collins are the forwards and it's Zubats

00:16in at the pivot spot, manning the middle. And for the Warriors, Heald and Butler holding down the

00:22forward spots. MP is out there with Stephen Curry and it's Jackson Davis in at the center,

00:27locking down the middle. And so much to take in during the start of the season, Richard.

00:32It's hard to not overreact at times. You got to remember that everything is going to get blown

00:37out of proportion in the first week. Give it some time, let it breathe before everyone jumps

00:42to conclusions. Tip-off goes to the Clippers. Harden against Curry. Harden, the pass to Beal.

00:52Oh, they've got their eyes on him, calling the foul right away.

01:06Now Harden.

01:10Just five to shoot.

01:14Leonard for three. Counted from distance.

01:17And he's a selective three-point shooter. Kawhi only takes them if he feels he has a good look.

01:24Gives us a chance to catch up with Allie LaForce.

01:27I had a chance to catch up with Steve Kerr. The two-way star Kawhi Leonard was at the top

01:31of the coach's mind. He told me, we've seen Kawhi win those finals MVPs because at his best,

01:37he is as good as anyone in the world. Leonard doesn't just score it, he can also shut down

01:42your best wing. It's really tough facing him. Guys, back to you.

01:45Good job there, Allie. Thanks. First trip to the free-throw line for him tonight.

01:58Free throw is good from Collins. All right, on the line, we've got our insider, Shams

02:02Charania. What do you have for us, Shams?

02:05Hey guys, this past summer, Chris Paul returned to the Los Angeles Clippers in what I'm told

02:09could be a farewell tour with the team. And he's joined up once again with James Harden.

02:14And then Paul spent a large portion of his decorated career with the Clippers. If this

02:19is truly the final wide for Chris Paul, guys, it's very fitting to have him back home in

02:24Lob City.

02:25A future Hall of Famer, no doubt. All right, Shams, thank you for the report. So it's Los

02:30Angeles now. The Warriors getting their last shot to go. It's Beal on the wing. Puts it

02:35up. Again, Los Angeles.

02:36Now, there's the scorer mindset Beal's known for. Just catch and fire.

02:42Curry finds MP.

02:47The ball's knocked loose.

02:52And here's Harden. Last game, 26 points for him.

02:56And the shot's good.

02:57Wow. Now, this is how you want to start your games. Flawless shooting so far.

03:03Curry passes to MP.

03:08Harden against Curry.

03:10Back to MP.

03:15Butler on the wing.

03:16He had 25 points in his last game.

03:19Shot clock at three.

03:22Not going to go that time.

03:23Collins with the defensive effort.

03:26Down low.

03:27Here's Beal.

03:28Yes.

03:29And a nice assist from Harden.

03:31Beal's got his second basket of the night.

03:33Five out of five to start things off.

03:35They certainly seem to be in a good rhythm.

03:40Back to MP.

03:44Outside Curry.

03:45MP scanning the floor.

03:50Pass to Jackson Davis.

03:53And here's Butler outside.

03:55Pure from three-point range.

03:58A guy you have to guard at range.

04:00Butler isn't a volume three-point shooter,

04:02but he can hit them when the mood strikes.

04:05And the basket by Beal.

04:07Their offense looking like a well-oiled machine.

04:10Butler passes to MP.

04:15Butler against Collins.

04:17Back to MP.

04:18It's rebounded by Zubats.

04:22Can't blame him.

04:24Just trying to take what the defense allows.

04:27And then Beal with the dunk.

04:30Building a big advantage early with a terrific all-around performance.

04:34They got off to such a hot start,

04:36and that can keep you energized throughout the whole game.

04:39Timeout called the Warriors.

04:42Last game matched up with the Grizzlies.

04:44A tough loss there.

04:45And they got to the line at a good clip,

04:47but couldn't cash in, and it ruined their chances.

04:50Leaving points at the free throw line can take the edge off of the team.

04:54You're playing physical, you're playing hard, and it's just not paying off.

04:57MP finds Curry.

04:59Back to MP.

05:01Now Jackson Davis.

05:03Outside Curry.

05:07MP outside.

05:09Curry passes to Heald.

05:10That drops, and it comes off an assist from Curry.

05:13Well-executed play.

05:15Anytime you can get Heald something in rhythm,

05:17off the catch, you have done your job.

05:20And he gets that one.

05:23Beal's got 11 points.

05:25Looks like we're starting to see a pattern here.

05:27Not afraid to get in the pain and get wet.

05:30Curry passes to MP.

05:31Back to Curry.

05:33Ooh, good finish at the rack off the slick feed.

05:36Tougher than he looks.

05:37Curry is unbelievable.

05:39This man's a true superstar.

05:45Harden scanning the floor.

05:47Pass to Leonard.

05:50And he drops in the layup off the glass.

05:56Leonard's gotten his second bucket of the game.

05:59This squad can't do anything wrong.

06:01They haven't missed one yet.

06:03Curry passes to MP.

06:06Now here's Heald.

06:11Here's Butler.

06:12And there's another one for the Warriors.

06:14There's not much you can do to slow down Butler in the mid-range.

06:17He just gets to his spot and rises up.

06:24Leonard against Heald.

06:28Harden into the lane.

06:33Outside Butler.

06:34And there's the lob.

06:36Throw it down on the lob.

06:38When you talk wings, Butler is a top-notch passer.

06:42He has a great understanding of the game.

06:45Los Angeles leading by seven.

06:49From 13.

06:51Here's Zubats.

06:53Lays it up and banks it in.

06:55Good execution.

06:56They're getting some short-range looks here.

06:59And Curry's got the ball here for the Warriors.

07:01Richard, tough as nails.

07:03Jimmy Butler always takes the fight head-on.

07:06And lifts his team when it matters most.

07:08And look, he's not for everybody.

07:10But look, if it's about winning, he's exactly who you want on your side.

07:14And the basket by Beal.

07:17And an important part of every team's game.

07:19A look at the hustle stats for the Clippers.

07:22The enthusiasm they've brought to their defense so far is something else.

07:26Going after shooters and really hustling to get their hands on shots.

07:30And I've also really liked how aggressive they've been in the open floor.

07:34I mean, when they see a chance to push it, they go for it.

07:38Warriors trail by 12.

07:40Butler finds MP.

07:42Now here's Jackson Davis.

07:44He's guarded by Zubats.

07:49MP against Collins.

07:51And the ball is tied up.

07:53So we'll have a jump ball.

08:02So it's Los Angeles now.

08:04Jackson Davis tries again.

08:07Outside for Butler.

08:09The three.

08:10Oh, he nails that one.

08:11Three for four now.

08:15The Clippers lead by nine.

08:17Harden with it.

08:22Beal outside.

08:24Pass to Zubats.

08:28And you can count it.

08:30He'll go to the line with a chance at a three-point play.

08:33This has been just a dreadful start for them defensively.

08:36Not good at all.

08:37Los Angeles has gone four or five from outside the arc in this one.

08:49So here are the five for the Clippers to start the second.

08:53Collins at power forward.

08:54Zubats.

08:55In the middle.

09:17Harden pairs with Beal to make up the guard set.

09:19And it's Bogdanovich.

09:20In at the three.

09:21Small forward.

09:22Clock at six.

09:23Let's it go from the wing.

09:26And too long on the shot.

09:28Usually he's a master in the middie.

09:30But not that time.

09:32Pass to Jackson Davis.

09:33Outside for Butler.

09:37On the wing.

09:37MP.

09:38Inside.

09:39Outside Butler.

09:40Jacks up a three.

09:41And the Warriors with another three.

09:44Unselfish offense.

09:45Leads to Butler getting something in rhythm.

09:48That's his second foul here pretty early in this one.

09:51He's got to be careful for the rest of this half.

09:53Second quarter of basketball.

10:03About a minute played so far.

10:07Harden.

10:07The pass to Bogdanovich.

10:11Five on the clock.

10:14Some agile defense from Heald.

10:16Not allowing the shooter to slip by him.

10:18Heald with the defensive effort.

10:22Curry.

10:22No good.

10:23Los Angeles leading by six.

10:29Outside Bogdanovich.

10:32Pass to Collins.

10:36Up again.

10:37It's good.

10:38On the putback.

10:40You have to box out Collins.

10:42When you don't, this is exactly what happens.

10:45And here's MP.

10:48It's hauled in by Beal.

10:50And we're about two minutes into the second quarter here.

11:00Here's Curry.

11:01And a great assist by Butler as that one goes.

11:04Curry's got eight.

11:05And that's all the result of some good defensive awareness.

11:10The Clippers have gotten only one of four shots to go in.

11:12Here's Harden.

11:14He's looking good.

11:16Two buckets and three attempts.

11:17A master at working through contact.

11:20Sometimes it seems Harden prefers getting physical on the way up.

11:23Butler finds MP.

11:25Here's MP.

11:31Pass to heel.

11:32Back to MP.

11:35Six to shoot.

11:37The jump hook.

11:39Here's Jackson Davis.

11:40And good work on the boards as they picked up the second chance points.

11:44He's got five.

11:46Oh, beating everyone to the ball.

11:48Great activity on the offensive glass.

11:50Let's check in with our reporter, Allie LaForce.

11:53Well, the Warriors have come a long way during the Curry era.

11:56Draymond Green said, quote,

11:58We built this thing up from the laughing stock of the NBA.

12:01I take a great deal of pride in them.

12:03I think about this organization like it's mine.

12:06If the Warriors win the championship ten years from now, that's our championship.

12:10Period.

12:10Back to you guys.

12:11All right.

12:12Thank you, Allie.

12:12Here's Shing following the score by the Clippers.

12:16Back to Curry.

12:20MP high post.

12:24Golden State needs to get off the shot.

12:26That's good from Curry.

12:28On the assist by MP.

12:30Lackluster defense.

12:32Showing no desire to chase shooters off that line.

12:36And it's Trace Jackson Davis with a foul.

12:39That'll be a second foul of the game.

12:42Beal outside.

12:51Over MP.

12:52That went off the back iron and out.

12:55Warriors trail by five.

12:57Butler goes at the rim.

12:58Hey, in six attempts, he's made five.

13:01Talk about efficiency.

13:02And Butler was a raw offensive prospect early on.

13:05Now he's a wrecking ball on this end.

13:07Well, Richard, for this Warriors team, that Steph Curry injury in the playoffs proved huge.

13:13Yeah, Steph is just so important.

13:15He strained his hamstring in game one of that second round series against Minnesota.

13:19And once that happened, Golden State really never had a shot in the series.

13:23Just shows how valuable he is to the organization.

13:27And there's really no debate, Richard.

13:29And hasn't been for some time.

13:31Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter the game has ever known.

13:34Yeah, that's breaking news.

13:36But let's be honest.

13:37He is one of one.

13:39He is on the Mount Rushmore of players that have changed the game.

13:43Think about the impact that Steph has had on this game.

13:46Him and his team have changed the way the game is played.

13:50They have ushered in the three-point error.

13:53Now here's Zubats.

13:55He's got 10.

13:56Fades away and sinks the tough shots.

13:59Zubats has got 12.

14:00His efficiency has been a big factor in helping them capture this lead.

14:08MP against Beal.

14:10Pass to Jackson Davis.

14:12Here's Curry.

14:17And Bradley Beal is going to pick up the foul.

14:20That's his first foul.

14:21Tough break for the defense.

14:23I mean, he took the hit, but he didn't get the call.

14:28MP, the pass to Heald.

14:30Good.

14:31And the assist goes to MP.

14:34Chang's got his fourth assist with that last one.

14:36Scoring close in.

14:38Heald is more than just a three-point gunner.

14:40Up the floor.

14:43Lays it up and in off the pretty assist.

14:46He's got seven.

14:47And guys, what do you think about the hustle stats for the Warriors?

14:50From the very start of this game, they have been giving the ball handlers trouble.

14:55Using good pressure to force turnovers and get steals.

14:59You know, they've also been very effective at running the floor.

15:03Just a ton of points in the fast break.

15:05It's been a big part of their success.

15:07Four on the clock.

15:08And then it's Collins with the dunk.

15:11Throw it anywhere near Collins.

15:13He'll take care of the rest.

15:15Putting his athleticism in length to perfect use.

15:18And an emphatic damn on the line.

15:22The great read between those two guys.

15:24The defense didn't stand a chance, B.A.

15:27These two teammates right here, Grant, they are connected.

15:30And now an update on Seth Curry's injury.

15:32Let's go to Ali LaForce.

15:34Thanks, guys.

15:34I just talked with the Warriors head athletic trainer.

15:37He said there is tendinitis in the knee.

15:39And it is a source of debilitating pain right now.

15:42And it being so early in the season, this is a very frustrating turn of events for him.

15:46And the entire team.

15:48Guys?

15:49All right, Ali.

15:49Thanks.

15:50Oh, it's the kind of news you just dread hearing.

15:53Here's hoping for a smooth recovery.

15:55Greens checked in for the Warriors.

15:57And a switch here also for the Clippers.

15:59Leonard's checked in for Bogdanovic.

16:01Oh, it's stolen by Butler.

16:10Oh, Curry.

16:11A magician inside.

16:14They have no answer defensively inside.

16:17Clippers trail by three.

16:21Here's Beal.

16:23He had 22 in the win against Portland.

16:25Here's Zubats.

16:26Nice work on the boards.

16:28Paying off with a basket.

16:30Zubats has got six points in the quarter.

16:32Oh, he'll wear you down with the way he grinds it out on the offensive glass.

16:40MP, the pass to Curry.

16:42Good.

16:42And the assist goes to MP.

16:45Chang's got his seventh assist of the game with that last one.

16:49The Clippers have gotten six shots to fall out of 13 attempts here in the second.

16:54Here's Harden.

16:55Shoots from the elbow.

16:57Again, Los Angeles.

16:58We've seen this many times before.

17:01Beal is such a versatile and effortless score.

17:07MP finds Curry.

17:11Back to MP.

17:12To the middle.

17:14Six on the shot clock.

17:19And the basket by Curry.

17:22Curry's got 20.

17:23And their offensive game plan is clear.

17:26Get it inside and go to work.

17:30Pass to Collins.

17:35MP against Beal.

17:36Tries it from 16.

17:38Offensive board.

17:39A nice shot by Zubats.

17:42Zubats has got 16 points now.

17:44It looked like he was playing against his little brother out there the way he just went right over him with his height.

17:50Well, when you think about all the miles Jimmy Butler has on his legs now, how many more does he have left, Grant?

17:55Well, he's been shouldering the load for a long time.

17:59But what separates him from the pack is his sheer will and his IQ.

18:04So, he might just surprise us a little.

18:09And the first one at the line is good.

18:11And Richard, with floor spacing so critical, ball handlers want their teammates to be shot ready.

18:17Oh, yeah.

18:17Having your feet square, knees bent, hands ready.

18:19Because ultimately, if you're shot ready, your percentages go up.

18:23If your percentages go up, so does your money.

18:26Kaminga.

18:26He's checked in for heel.

18:28And then for Los Angeles.

18:29Dunn.

18:30He's checked in for Beal.

18:31And it's Paul in for Harden.

18:33And here are the Warriors now.

18:35Following the score by the Clippers.

18:39MP.

18:40The pass to Curry.

18:41Back to MP.

18:45Pass to Kaminga.

18:47On the wing.

18:48MP.

18:49Outside Curry.

18:50From behind the arc.

18:51Good.

18:52And the assist goes to MP.

18:54Give him 23.

18:56His play just keeps getting better.

18:58Clearly building on the foundation of that strong first quarter.

19:03Dunn outside.

19:07Oh, it's blocked by Green.

19:09This is the lockdown defense you expect from Green.

19:12So good at anticipating attacks.

19:18Here's Kaminga.

19:19Oh, a clear foul there on the missed shot.

19:22So he'll get a pair at the line.

19:23It's going to go on Kawhi Leonard.

19:25This is his first opportunity at the line this evening.

19:28And he makes a first.

19:34Stephen Curry getting it done for the Golden State Warriors.

19:37Oh, what a quarter.

19:39He was absolutely on fire offensively.

19:42We'll be right back with you shortly.

19:43And if you're just joining us, we played through the first half in a game that's been fairly even so far.

20:04Stephen Curry having a dominant impact in this game.

20:07Yeah, they've done an amazing job of creating room to operate for him.

20:12And then, of course, executing.

20:14I like how they came into this one with the game plan.

20:17And they're just going out and executing it.

20:20Terrific job.

20:21Healed in Butler.

20:22Holding down the forward spots.

20:24Stephen Curry is out there with MP.

20:26And it's Jackson Davis in at the 5.

20:28Down low.

20:29And that's the group for Steve Kerr as we begin the second half.

20:32Now here's Harden for the tie.

20:36And he's going to the line for two.

20:38The official saw contact while he was going up.

20:42Well, Grant, you look at James Harden's capacity to generate offense.

20:45He is still at an elite level.

20:47Yeah, a virtuoso with the rock.

20:49Even as he slows down, his ability to change pace keeps defenders off balance and creates for himself and others.

20:58It's just a thing to marvel at.

21:00MP with it.

21:00Hounded by Beal.

21:02Here's Butler.

21:05And down it goes.

21:07Jam that one home.

21:09And when the game is this close, you have to go all out.

21:13He certainly understands his role, huh?

21:15When the shot goes up, just crashes the offensive glass.

21:19He's just giving them everything he has.

21:22It's why his teammates appreciate and enjoy playing with him.

21:26Here's Shing following the score by the Clippers.

21:30Pass to Jackson Davis.

21:33Up top, Curry.

21:33And there's a whistle.

21:36He'll head to the line to shoot two.

21:38No doubt.

21:39Stephen Curry is the best shooter of all time.

21:42Talk about what makes him special, Grant.

21:43Well, B.A., he can hit shots under the most difficult circumstances.

21:48Off balance with only a sliver of daylight.

21:50This is why teams often choose to double him the moment he crosses half court.

21:55And it's a luxury to have a great shooter like him at the line.

21:59Very rarely see a miss.

22:01Beal.

22:01That one's good.

22:03Not shocking to see Beal running up the scoreboard.

22:06He has a knack for putting together some big nights.

22:08Now here's M.P.

22:13Knocks it loose.

22:15Back to Curry.

22:17Cash.

22:18It's M.P.

22:19Picking up the assist.

22:21Chang's got nine assists now tonight.

22:23And his fantastic performance from the last game has carried over to tonight.

22:28He's just riding the wave of momentum right now.

22:30Getting to his spots and keeping things simple on the offensive side.

22:34You know, Richard, the Warriors have the third most championships after the Lakers and Celtics.

22:41Yeah, and two of those came as the Philadelphia Warriors, though.

22:44Including the first NBA championship back in 47.

22:47And then they had the one with Rick Barry in 75.

22:50But most people know about their rings from the last decade or so in this dynasty.

22:56Now here's M.P.

22:57And stolen by Leonard.

23:00To the paint.

23:01Here's Harden.

23:01And he converts the layup.

23:06And now a three-point clipper lead.

23:08And force-feeding the ball inside.

23:09I mean, no reason to go away from what's working.

23:15Back to Hill.

23:17And he lobs it up top.

23:19Hammers the lob through.

23:21The playmaking of Hill, it's really improved over the years.

23:25A touch over two and a half minutes of basketball played here in the third quarter.

23:31Here's Leonard.

23:32Count it!

23:33And one!

23:34He'll have a chance at a three-point play.

23:37That one on heel.

23:38I mean, they've been relentless.

23:40Just keep getting shots at the rim.

23:43This will be a sports shot at the line here in this one.

23:45The free throw drops for Leonard.

24:00And last season, the Warriors had their most success playing a small ball lineup ring.

24:05Well, they more than held their own on the backboards in defending the paint.

24:09But you knew they'd look to add some size this summer.

24:13Outside Curry.

24:16So it'll be two free throws.

24:18He was fouled in the act of shooting.

24:21It's the 2K leaderboard showing the teams with the most points off turnovers last season.

24:26Second, the Warriors.

24:28Fourth, the Clippers.

24:29Here you have two offenses that feasted off turnovers.

24:32Every opponent was a little nervous with the ball around them.

24:36And that one.

24:51Falls for Curry.

24:52And that one goes in.

25:02Two from the line that time.

25:04And it's Beal with the ball for Los Angeles.

25:07They held a 12-point lead earlier.

25:09They'll be playing host to New Orleans for their next one.

25:12That'll be the first of three games played at home.

25:15Out to Leonard.

25:16Oh, it's stolen by Butler.

25:18He's all alone.

25:19Butler soars in to cap off the break.

25:22This is why you must stay in front of Butler.

25:25When he's leaking out like this, he's focused on scoring.

25:28Time called here.

25:30Los Angeles decides to talk it over.

25:36Bogdanovich has checked in for Kawhi Leonard.

25:42The Clippers have gone an impressive 5-of-5 so far in the third quarter.

25:50On the wing, Harden.

25:51He's covered by Curry.

25:52He shoots.

25:54Here's Zubats.

25:55Oh, he's been lethal.

25:57Connecting again.

25:58Making him 9-for-9.

26:00You've got to love how they've been crashing the boards.

26:03Fighting hard for every miss.

26:05Butler passes to MP.

26:06To the inside.

26:07Here's Jackson Davis.

26:08Can't connect from short range.

26:18Defense pulled out all the stops and shut him down there.

26:23Here's Harden.

26:25It's wide right.

26:26Hits off the rim.

26:27Just hasn't found much consistency from the floor.

26:30But his teammates have picked up the slack.

26:32Here's Curry.

26:34Cash.

26:35It's MP picking up the assist.

26:38Curry's got 8 points in the quarter.

26:40The assist numbers certainly stand out.

26:43They've really emphasized ball movement here today.

26:46Here's Harden.

26:50And it's Stephen Curry with the rebound.

26:52So far this quarter, he's been out of sync.

26:55And might be pressing right now.

26:57Butler with the ball.

26:58He's picked up by Zubats.

26:59Butler with the bucket.

27:01Butler's got 19 points.

27:04Putting his body to work in the paint.

27:06Butler using his athletic skills to get it done.

27:08And the basket by Beal.

27:11Keeping pace here.

27:12That's an excellent move inside.

27:15The Warriors have gotten 6 of 8 shots to go.

27:18And looking good since the break.

27:23MP against Beal.

27:25Pass to Heald.

27:26Fires for 3.

27:27Sinks the tray.

27:29Heald's got 10.

27:30The corner is the shortest 3 by distance.

27:33So for someone like Heald, that is easy money.

27:35Here's Beal.

27:37Up and in on the layup.

27:39He's just got it on the automatic right now.

27:41Shooting 100%.

27:43And that'll keep your confidence high.

27:45The Warriors leading.

27:48Curry finds MP.

27:50Now Jackson Davis.

27:52He's guarded by Zubats.

27:56Beal against MP.

28:00Outside Curry.

28:01Down to 5 on the shot clock.

28:03Banked it in off the glass.

28:06Curry's got 10 points in just the second half.

28:09He's been dominant all game long.

28:11Nobody on the floor can stop him.

28:13And look, let's just say he knows it.

28:15Pass to Collins.

28:20Harden against Curry.

28:24Now here's Harden.

28:26He's covered closely.

28:27Off target at the rim.

28:28You know, some people could say he's struggling on offense this period.

28:32I like to think of more of drowning.

28:34Just can't seem to find his confidence.

28:36And from the sideline, let's catch up with Allie.

28:39Hey, Brian.

28:40Jimmy Butler.

28:40Quite the pairing with Steph Curry.

28:42And Steph said he's like the exact opposite player of me.

28:45He's dominating the paint.

28:47I'm dominating the perimeter.

28:48Butler said, I don't think I could be a better complement to him.

28:51And vice versa.

28:52They're not leaving him ever.

28:54I'm playing in so much space.

28:56Brian, back over to you.

28:57A great fit.

28:58Thank you, Allie.

28:59Well, when he turns a corner,

29:01Beal can just slice right through the defense as good as anyone.

29:08Beal against MP.

29:09Butler on the wing.

29:14Curry looking it over.

29:16Let's it go from deep.

29:18And it's the Clippers with the rebound.

29:20I'm going to say he hasn't found the same success here in the second half

29:24compared to what we saw from him in the first.

29:26Six lead changes in a game that has a lot of character.

29:30Yeah, both sides stepping up and making big plays.

29:34Now a timeout called by Golden State.

29:36And now that they have some time to get a little bit of rest,

29:39it's time for these players to regroup while hydrating themselves with some Gatorade.

29:43Looking to gain a boost of energy as they continue to play in this game.

29:47And staying hydrated is the only surefire way to do it.

29:51An athlete's body doesn't have the same power and stamina without proper hydration.

29:56These guys will be sure to use this timeout wisely.

29:59And a new group getting ready for the Warriors.

30:02Draymond Green, he's checked in for Jackson Davis.

30:04Jonathan Kaminga comes in for Jimmy Butler.

30:07Moody's checked in for MP.

30:08So it's both teams making substitutions here.

30:19Here's Beal.

30:23After just joining us, fourth quarter here.

30:26We're just over two and a half minutes into it.

30:28Can't hit from in close.

30:29So, on the floor for the Clippers.

30:31Beal and Kawhi operate together on the wings.

30:34Collins at power forward.

30:36Zubat's in the middle.

30:37And it's Harden in at the point guard position.

30:42Harden from outside.

30:44Jackson Davis grabs a miss.

30:46Oh, man.

30:47He can't get anything to fall.

30:49You can feel his frustration.

30:51Yeah.

30:52Right now, he's just in his own head.

30:55Not much you can do to try and push through it.

30:57And once again, off the mark by Los Angeles.

31:00Well, his shooting is, unfortunately, not a big thing.

31:04And his lackluster accuracy is probably the thing that's keeping them behind.

31:08And the basket by Heel.

31:10Defensively, they've got to get more bodies in the paint.

31:13That's three straight field goals from below the free throw line.

31:16Down low.

31:17Harden.

31:17And then Harden with the jam.

31:21Athletic move by Harden.

31:22Okay, I see you throwing it down on top of the defense.

31:29MP outside.

31:30Curry passes to MP.

31:38Shot clock at five.

31:40Pass to Butler.

31:45Butler unfazed.

31:47And when there's a difficult task,

31:49Jimmy Butler is the answer for his team.

31:55Beal against Curry.

32:00Beal right side.

32:02No good from 11 feet.

32:04The Warriors lead by 11.

32:06To the middle.

32:07Here's Jackson Davis.

32:08And he goes up strong with a one-handed jam.

32:12And one move ahead of the defense.

32:15A solid pick.

32:16And then the monster dunk to complete the play.

32:19Well done.

32:20Well, great chemistry on display.

32:22He understood where to put the screen in order to free up his teammate.

32:26Collins.

32:27A good look.

32:29Jackson Davis grabs a miss.

32:31Jackson Davis has got a rebound.

32:33Number 12 here already in the game.

32:35Butler can't get it to go.

32:37Clippers trail by 13.

32:40Beal from outside.

32:42Warriors with the rebound.

32:44Jackson Davis has got rebound number 13 for him here tonight.

32:48And he got a couple to fall from long distance in the first half.

32:50But still looking for that number three.

32:52And it's Harden penetrating with the floater.

32:59Yep.

32:59That one's good.

33:00Harden's got four points now in the quarter.

33:03Pulled the D that time.

33:04Harden with the soft touch.

33:05Okay.

33:06And the Warriors call time here.

33:08Adjustments are a part of every game.

33:11In every quarter of a game.

33:13I think Coach sees something here.

33:15Yeah.

33:15This is a good opportunity to get your group together.

33:17And make sure everyone is on the same page.

33:23And Curry's got the ball here for the Warriors.

33:27They've given up just eight points in the fourth.

33:30MP with it.

33:31Harden picks him up.

33:36MP against Beal.

33:38Shot clock at six.

33:40Outside heel.

33:41The three is up.

33:42And yes, it's good.

33:44He's seven for eight now.

33:46That's his third triple of the night.

33:48His second since halftime.

33:50Beal, the pass to Collins.

33:51And Collins gets double-teamed.

33:55Out to Beal.

33:56Fires the three.

33:58Sinks it from distance.

34:01Beal's got 35.

34:03He was solid in the first half from deep.

34:05He's a guy who can get hot.

34:06Let's see how he does here in the second.

34:09Out to heel.

34:10Pass to Shing.

34:12Back to heel.

34:13And stolen by Leonard.

34:16And they're running.

34:18Beal from outside.

34:19Yes, and it's Leonard with the assist that time.

34:24Leonard's got his seventh assist of the game with that last one.

34:28And here's MP.

34:29Hounded by Beal.

34:34Harden against MP.

34:37Pass to Jackson Davis.

34:38And he jams it home with authority.

34:41And just shredding apart the defense with his passing.

34:44He's helping to pace this offense so well.

34:46He's locked in with his teammates right now.

34:49Setting guys up in perfect position.

34:55Out to Beal.

34:57Puts up a three.

34:58Oh, and another three for the Clippers.

35:01Beal can hurt you from just about anywhere.

35:03And he is a multi-skilled player.

35:09MP against Beal.

35:13MP.

35:13The pass to Curry.

35:18Harden against MP.

35:20Back to Curry.

35:21This one for three.

35:23Collins with the rebound.

35:25Collins has got four rebounds now.

35:31Beal.

35:31The pass to Leonard.

35:34And again, it's the Clippers.

35:37They're making smart adjustments.

35:39Setting guys up for success.

35:41But it took them a little while to get there.

35:43Just goes to show as long as you persevere, you'll figure your way out.

35:51MP against Beal.

35:52MP.

35:53The pass to Curry.

35:54Count it.

35:55Curry's got 14 points here in the second half.

35:57They just look so overwhelmed inside.

36:00You know, that's why they continue to get attacked.

36:06Harden against Curry.

36:08Oh, and he got fouled on his way up.

36:10He'll head to the line to shoot two.

36:13It's on Stephen Curry.

36:15There is no one better at drawing fouls than James Harden.

36:19It can be frustrating for a defender.

36:21It's an art that he has mastered.

36:23Take a break.

36:25Take a break.

36:27Peace out.

36:33The first one falls.

36:35And we've seen some good free throw shooting in the second half.

36:37Harden hits them both.

36:51Finally getting himself to the free throw line.

36:54He was sitting back in the first half with no free throws to show for it.

36:58Zubats with the steal.

37:00Harden with it.

37:01Jackson Davis picks him up.

37:02From outside the arc.

37:03And there's Leonard on the assist by Beal.

37:07Beal's got six assists here tonight.

37:09Wow.

37:10Their opponent is doing a tremendous job spacing the floor.

37:14And in the last two possessions, they've painted a picture of what not to do.

37:18Just way too loose with the basketball.

37:20No question, this offense has some firepower.

37:27And they're looking very confident in all that they're doing right now.

37:31They're getting torched on the perimeter.

37:34Four of the last five buckets have been threes.

37:36Curry passes to MP.

37:43Back to Curry.

37:45Here's the three.

37:46It's rebounded by Los Angeles.

37:49They held a 12-point lead earlier.

37:52Here's Harden.

37:53It's good.

37:54And the assist that time from Leonard.

37:57Leonard's got assist number eight here already in the game.

38:00And the Warriors call time here.

38:02Coach is not happy with their effort on the defensive glass.

38:06They're giving up way too many second chance points.

38:08Time now to present our player of the game, Bradley Beal.

38:21Think about this.

38:22He has owned this game from start to finish.

38:26Wow.

38:26So impressive.

38:28The defense literally looked helpless trying to stop him out there.

38:32He has been far and away the best player on the court.

38:36And it's not close.

38:37Here's Jackson Davis.

38:39And he throws it down.

38:41What a terrific lead pass.

38:43He gives up a bit of size at the center position.

38:45But his leaping ability?

38:47Well, let's just say that makes up for us.

38:49And with plenty of time left, that's his fourth foul.

38:52He needs to stay cognizant of that moving forward.

38:56And a look now at how the offensive approach has been going here so far for Los Angeles.

39:01These guys have been hitting the offensive boards hard throughout this whole game.

39:05Great job converting the extra opportunities.

39:07And we also got to talk about the number of points they've scored in transition.

39:11Just jumping all over the opposition in this regard.

39:14Butler passes to Heald.

39:17MP outside.

39:18Here's Curry, defended by Harden.

39:23From downtown, Curry buries the triple.

39:27How many times have we seen this?

39:29His team needs a bucket.

39:31And Steph does what Steph does.

39:37Beal surveying the D.

39:39Gets a very good look and converts.

39:42Beal's got 48.

39:43Some players shrink when the pressure's on.

39:47But he lives for these moments.

39:50Pass to Jackson Davis.

39:55Now here's Curry.

39:56Six on the shot clock.

39:58Back to MP.

40:02Fires the three.

40:03And the Warriors with another three.

40:06If Steph relishes taking key shots, it's what he's out there to do.

40:10Here's Beal.

40:14Shots blocked.

40:18Pass to Curry.

40:20Oh, Curry just weaving his way.

40:22Way through traffic.

40:50Still knocks it in.

41:03Hey, clashes with the larger defender and makes maybe the biggest shot of the game.

41:08You love the relentlessness.

41:10Wasn't going to give up a chance for a big play.

41:13This is what Beal is capable of.

41:15Delivering a bucket any time you need it.

41:18Butler.

41:19Tips.

41:20Beal outside.

41:32And again.

41:34That's 52 points for him.

41:36Making it all look too easy right now.

41:40Curry passes to MP.

41:41There's 39 seconds left to play in the fourth quarter.

41:55Back to Curry.

41:57Rebounded by James Harden.

42:01And an intentional foul right there.

42:06He hits the first one.

42:07And that'll put him up two.

42:10And so he drops them both.

42:12And it's a three-point game.

42:13The last make was huge.

42:15The last make was huge.

42:16Now, realistically, the worst-case scenario for them is OT.

42:20Two seconds separating the shot clock and the game clock.

42:22Harden against Curry.

42:23And Harden with the block.

42:29Ooh, nice hustle on defense from Harden.

42:32Showing a willingness to make an impact on this end.

42:35Okay.

42:35Yeah, and that was a smart move.

42:37I mean, you have to foul right there.

42:39You just don't want them to run out the club.

42:41So, he goes two for two at the line.

42:44And it's a five-point game.

42:45Making no mistakes and putting some extra nails in the coffin right here.

42:50That'll pretty much do it.

42:51And the Warriors call time here.

42:54They're trailing by five.

42:56Nine seconds left to play in the fourth.

43:04Nine seconds left in the fourth quarter.

43:08The three from Curry.

43:09Unable to get that one.

43:13So, it's Los Angeles picking up the win.

43:16Just a gutsy performance on the road.

43:19It really was.

43:20When this one was up in the air late,

43:22they showed how tough-minded they are as a team.

43:25And that'll do it, folks.

43:27For Richard Jefferson, Grant Hill, and Ali LaForce,

43:30this is Brian Anderson saying thanks for watching.

43:33We'll see you next time.

43:39We'll see you next time.

44:09We'll see you next time.

44:39We'll see you next time.

45:09We'll see you next time.

45:39We'll see you next time.

45:41We'll see you next time.
