Transcript

00:00UK Sports. Alongside Greg Anthony and Stan Van Gundy, I'm Kevin Harlan.

00:06Allie LaForce will be our reporter tonight on the sideline.

00:09And the starting lineup for the Pelicans, Murphy and Williamson up in the forward slots.

00:15Hopkins is out there with Murray. And it's Misey in at the pivot spot, manning the middle.

00:20And for the Warriors. Butler is the four, and Green operates as the small ball center.

00:26Stephen Curry is out there with MP. And it's Kaminga in at the three, the small forward.

00:31And Stan talking about this matchup for a second, when it comes to moving the ball,

00:36these two teams have to be considered two of the very best at it.

00:40Couldn't agree more, Kevin. Both of these groups, very...

00:43He's selfless. Got to give a lot of credit to these coaching staffs for getting their guys to buy in

01:00on a team-first mentality. That makes for some tremendous team chemistry.

01:06And by the way, it wins a lot of games, too.

01:09It's rebounded by Kaminga.

01:15Where he finds MP.

01:19Got a piece of it. And they'll keep possession.

01:22And Green gets it to go.

01:29Here in the first, a little over a minute played so far.

01:32Here's Murray.

01:42They get it again.

01:47Hunkins against MP.

01:50And that'll be two free throws coming up.

01:52Officials on the call with the foul.

01:55And guys, hold on now.

01:56I'm getting word.

01:57We have Shams Charania calling in.

02:00Shams, what do you have for us?

02:02Well, this summer, saw Hall of Famer Joe Dumars put in charge of the Pelicans' front office,

02:07returning to his home state of Louisiana.

02:09He talked about it being the right place, right time, right people in New Orleans.

02:14And he's looking to ensure it's super organized, classy, and elite organization.

02:19They'll get there for sure.

02:21Hey, Shams, thank you very much.

02:23It's tipped.

02:23And he gets it to go.

02:31Well, you love the unselfishness.

02:33Makes the next pass and enables his team to capitalize on the possession.

02:41Well, their pass is to MP.

02:45Knocks it loose.

02:50That one's in.

02:51His first bucket of the game.

02:52He's one for two.

02:53Tried to get in there using his height.

02:56Murphy working through the defense.

03:00MP dishes to Curry.

03:03Back to Scheng.

03:05Pass to Green.

03:08Williamson with it.

03:09Now Green defending.

03:13Williamson.

03:14The pass to Murray.

03:15Hawkins.

03:16That's in there.

03:17Murray with the assist.

03:19Hawkins has got six points.

03:21And their offense already in a flow.

03:24Some stellar shooting to jump out to this lead.

03:27And Kaminga throws it down.

03:30And didn't do anything fancy there, but didn't need to.

03:34Nope.

03:34His only concern right now is getting the points on the board.

03:37And I don't mean style points.

03:39Some nice passing here by New Orleans.

03:41Defended by Kaminga.

03:46Shot clock at six.

03:48And he's fouled pretty hard on that shot.

03:50But he's got the chance to pick up the points at the line.

03:53Jonathan Kaminga picks one up.

03:56And breaking down some numbers here.

03:57The hustle stats for the Pelicans.

03:59But their defense has been really impressive.

04:02Especially the number of blocks they've managed to get.

04:05It's not easy to keep denying guys at the rim.

04:08And another thing, guys.

04:10They've been very active tonight.

04:11Frequently creating scoring opportunities off turnarounds.

04:16Now here's Curry.

04:17Playing Houston.

04:18He was nearly unstoppable.

04:21From outside.

04:22Off the mark.

04:23It's almost as if there's a lid on the hoop for him right now.

04:27He still hasn't gotten one to fall in the court.

04:31Murray kicks to Williamson.

04:35And there's the call.

04:37It's going to be an illegal screen.

04:39Beyond the leaning.

04:40You could see his feet weren't set on that screen.

04:44Easy call.

04:45Look, you can get away with a lot in terms of screens today.

04:49You can't make it that obvious.

04:51And stolen by Murray.

04:54And now the Pelicans on the break.

04:57Pass to Hawkins.

05:01Now Mesey.

05:03Murray outside.

05:05A second chance effort.

05:07And that one drops.

05:09Every time they get scored on during this run, it's come from inside the paint.

05:16MVP kicks to Curry.

05:18Over Murray.

05:19Curry can't get it to go.

05:20He is really scuffling this quarter offensively.

05:24Perhaps a little frustration setting in.

05:29Pass to Jing.

05:31Back to Curry.

05:33Murray with the defensive effort.

05:35Well, he can't buy a bucket.

05:37But it's time to find other ways to help his team win.

05:40Kept alive.

05:41Mesey.

05:42Green with the block.

05:44Aggression.

05:45That's how Drayvon plays defense.

05:49It's picked off.

05:49A chance to extend the lead to double digits, but it's no good.

05:58Stolen.

06:01And the rebound goes to the Warriors.

06:04Green's got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight.

06:08Well, this hasn't been his quarter so far.

06:10He's really struggling to get going.

06:12And Jimmy Butler is what some might call an old school kind of player.

06:17Would you agree, Greg?

06:19Yeah.

06:19I mean, he's all toughness, grit, and basketball IQ.

06:23A tone setter at the defensive end who plays unselfishly.

06:27That guy is all about winning.

06:29New Orleans making a switch here.

06:31Motkovich has checked in.

06:33And first time out of the game called for New Orleans.

06:36In GA, we know Coach Steve Kerr has been up front.

06:38In order to win, the Warriors need to take and make a lot of threes.

06:44Well, it's the superpower of their best player.

06:48And the arrival of Jimmy Butler has provided some balance.

06:52But threes are still their best bet.

07:02Murray outside.

07:08Down to five on the shot clock.

07:13D-two from Williamson.

07:16And he overshot that one.

07:17Missing.

07:18Warriors trail by eight.

07:20Pass to Buck.

07:22Now here's Curry.

07:24On the wing.

07:25And V.

07:31Here's Butler.

07:32Covered by Williamson.

07:33And heel with the basket on the assist from Green.

07:39A guy like Buddy out hustles other players on the floor.

07:43He gets inside and there he finishes strong.

07:46And it goes down two points.

07:48Terrific ball movement leading to the basket.

07:51You love to see it.

07:55MP dishes to Butler.

08:00MP passes to Butler.

08:01Back to Shing.

08:06Butler in the corner.

08:08Let's it go with a three.

08:10Gets the three-pointer to fall.

08:12And down in the corners.

08:14Butler can be dangerous.

08:16He's pretty comfortable with that shot.

08:20Here's Murray.

08:21And it's Murray with the jam.

08:24And he can do a lot more damage to the rim than that when he wants to.

08:29Oh, you're right.

08:29And with the lead they're enjoying.

08:31I'm surprised he didn't put a little something extra on that one.

08:35Now here's Shing.

08:37And Shing picks up a foul.

08:39That's his first foul.

08:41I mean, with the amount of turnovers they've committed, it's no wonder they're in the position they're in right now.

08:47Looking at who's out there now for the Warriors.

08:50Quentin Post is checked in for Green.

08:52And it's Brandon Pajemski in for Stephen Curry.

08:55The Pelicans also changing it up.

08:58Bay comes in for Zion Williamson.

09:00And it's Herbert Jones in for Trey Murphy.

09:03Here's Butler.

09:04Following the score by DeJounte Murray.

09:07Shing can't connect from 13 feet out.

09:10The shot's there for him.

09:12And he's got to take it.

09:13I don't care if he doesn't convert.

09:15That's a shot he has to continue to take.

09:18Here's Murray.

09:19Another field goal for him.

09:21Four for six shooting tonight.

09:23Building up a big early lead.

09:25They have taken charge of this game.

09:28Yeah, but you can't let up at all.

09:31They've got a chance to put this game away early.

09:33And they should take it.

09:35Tries it from 19.

09:37No good off the back of the rim.

09:38Great focus on the defensive end there to contest that shot.

09:43Yeah, that's good discipline to stay attached and alter the shot.

09:48Here's Motkovich.

09:49No scoring in this one.

09:53Hawkins kicks to Jones.

09:55Good on the triple.

09:57And the Pelicans lead by 14.

10:00And what a way to start this game.

10:02Dominating at both ends of the floor.

10:05Obviously, guys, brilliant coaching.

10:07Having a perfect game plan.

10:10Wojemski with it.

10:11He's covered by Hawkins.

10:12To the middle.

10:13Got a piece of it.

10:14And so it looks like the Warriors will retain possession here.

10:22The Pelicans have gone 9 of 10 from the line.

10:24So making the most of their chances.

10:26And they've shot the ball well this season.

10:28And in terms of their attempts.

10:3081%.

10:31And that one misses.

10:36And coach for teams defending the pick and roll.

10:40You often hear coaches talking about being at the level.

10:43What does that mean?

10:44Well, Kevin, what it means is the guy guarding the screener.

10:48The defender guarding the screener has to be all the way up with that guy at the point of the screen.

10:56As opposed to being in drop coverage where the guy defending the screener will lay back.

11:01So for New Orleans right now, Trey Murphy is out there with Murray.

11:06Then there's Williamson.

11:08Then it's Eve Misey.

11:10And it's Motkovich in at the 4.

11:12Here's Murray following the basket by Jonathan Kaminga.

11:16And the basket is good.

11:17Well, he's a reason why they're winning right now.

11:20He's been efficient offensively and his confidence continues to grow.

11:24Now, M.P. dishes to Green.

11:30M.P. deciding where to go with it.

11:32Down low.

11:34And Curry the bucket on the assist by M.P.

11:37And defensively, they are on their heels every time the ball comes inside.

11:44Here's Murray.

11:45And it's Murray with the jam.

11:48Well, this is what coach wants to see.

11:50Murray's going after shots without any hesitation.

11:54M.P. passes to Kaminga.

11:59Back to Shing.

12:03In the corner, it's healed.

12:08On the wing, M.P.

12:10He's covered by Murray.

12:12Healed with the bucket.

12:13That was big because they dug a big hole in the first quarter.

12:16But starting to show signs of life.

12:19Inside.

12:21It's through for a second basket.

12:23He's now 2 for 6.

12:24The length of Murphy can be surprising.

12:27He's 6'8".

12:28With a good wingspan.

12:30M.P. passes to Green.

12:35Murray against M.P.

12:39Curry dishes to M.P.

12:41Knocked loose, and it's out of bounds to the Pelicans.

12:48And a moment now to check out who the Warriors have coming up on their schedule.

12:52On Tuesday, they'll host the Oklahoma City Thunder.

12:55And then on Thursday, they'll be matching up against Kyle Lowry and the Philadelphia 76ers.

13:00And for that game against Chicago, it's always interesting for top teams to see how they compare to the best in the East.

13:10This will be a chance to see just what this group is made of.

13:14So it's the Warriors now.

13:16The Pelicans make their last shot.

13:19And there's the bucket from Kaminga.

13:21And so it's Williamson who brings up the ball for the New Orleans Pelicans.

13:28And when this game is done with, they'll be off to Los Angeles taking on the Lakers.

13:32That'll be the second of this two-game road trip.

13:34Wow. Missed the easy one right there.

13:37Right at the rim, but came up empty.

13:40Now, here's Shing.

13:42Zion Williamson unable to get his last shot to go.

13:45Curry passes to M.P.

13:48Lock at six.

13:50Kaminga dishes to M.P.

13:52On the wing, heel.

13:56And they'll get another chance.

13:59Curry can't get it to go.

14:01Pelicans leading by 18.

14:04Here's the floater.

14:06And it's Murray laying it in.

14:08Murray's got 18 points in the game.

14:11Boy, has he put his foot on the pedal here this quarter.

14:14He's doing a terrific job in terms of leading their offense.

14:18Timeout called the Warriors.

14:21And, unfortunately, Coach, the Pelicans still looking for the franchise's first deep playoff run.

14:26Yeah, just two playoff series wins since their arrival in New Orleans back in 2002.

14:32They've had some tremendous talents, but the stars have yet to align.

14:38Quinton Post is checked in for the Warriors.

14:41And the Pelicans making a change here as well.

14:43Kevon Looney is checked in for Eve Meese.

14:46For New Orleans, they've gone 8-14 in the second quarter on field goal attempts.

14:51And, Greg, we know he's a fearsome dunk.

14:53But Zion Williamson also has a soft touch.

14:56And that's a great point, Kevin.

14:58He can finish in every way, either hand, through contact, off balance, on the run.

15:04A natural gift for converting around the rim.

15:08Pass to Post.

15:12Over Looney.

15:14Post misses the shot.

15:16Pelicans leading by 21.

15:18Now we'll hear from Allie LaForce, and she's got a story for us.

15:21An update.

15:22Allie?

15:23Zion Williamson is one of the most gifted athletes this game has ever seen.

15:27But now he's taken his commitment to conditioning to another level.

15:31He said, I definitely see the difference.

15:33I'm feeling like I don't exert as much energy to get to a certain speed.

15:36My movements are swifter.

15:38Back to you guys.

15:39What a scary thought.

15:40Okay, Allie.

15:41Thanks.

15:42Now here's Shing.

15:44Back to Heald.

15:47Pass to Shing.

15:48Here's Heald.

15:49Here's Heald.

15:53On the wing.

15:54MV.

15:55He's covered by Murray.

15:56Here's Kuminga.

15:58And they turn over the 24-second buzzer, signaling the shot clock violation.

16:02And let's check out a breakdown, looking at some of the stats for him.

16:10New Orleans gone 0-3 from beyond the arc to start the second quarter.

16:14Right here, right here, right here.

16:21Guarded by Curry.

16:23Back to Murray.

16:27Uncovered.

16:28They get it back.

16:30Plus eight in the rebound differential.

16:32One more reason why they're in control.

16:35Golden State's gone 1-6 from three-point land in the second quarter.

16:39Less than 20%.

16:40But they've continued to let him fly.

16:43Post with it.

16:44Defended by Looney.

16:49Healed right side.

16:52That's good.

16:53And it's his fourth basket of the game.

16:55He's a strong 4-for-6.

16:56I mean, he's doing all he can.

16:58He needs help out there.

17:02Williamson with the bounce pass.

17:05Floats it up for Williamson.

17:07Up high to stuff the alley-oop.

17:09Look out below.

17:11Zion came flying in to finish that alley-oop.

17:17MP kicks to Heald.

17:21Back to Shing.

17:23Healed outside.

17:27Golden State moving it around.

17:30Here's Post.

17:31And the layup's good off the glass.

17:33I love how he establishes his Post position inside before he converts.

17:38Timeout call here.

17:39The Pelicans decide to talk it over.

17:41And you look at the addition of Jimmy Butler.

17:44GA, why has he been such a fit for the Warriors?

17:47He really is an unselfish, high-IQ superstar.

17:52And that's what the Warriors are all about.

17:53And his isolation, interior scoring, has given them another look offensively.

18:00Looking at who's out there now for the Warriors.

18:03Moses Moody comes in for Buddy Heald.

18:05And it's Brandon Pajemski in for Seth Curry.

18:09Now here's Bay.

18:11He had 27 points last game.

18:13New Orleans needs to get off a shot.

18:15And it's Alvarado missing.

18:19Defensive breakdown there.

18:21And they got lucky.

18:22He's not going to miss too many of those.

18:25Well, check out that assist.

18:27That's a pair of teammates that are clearly on the same page.

18:31And that's his second foul.

18:33I don't know if they'll sit him.

18:35It's a tough decision.

18:36And someone, Stan, who fought his way into the NBA.

18:44DeJounte Murray has been leading the championship.

19:00And with the second half upon us,

19:02we'll find out if this game becomes the route that it's threatening to be.

19:07DeJounte Murray has been sensational.

19:10Well, we'll find out if they were able to find an answer for him over the break.

19:15He was scoring with ease in that first half.

19:18Yeah, I'd love to see what they drew up in the locker room.

19:21Because you're right.

19:21He's the problem right now.

19:48Butler is the four.

19:50And green operates as the small ball center.

19:53Curry is out there with MP.

19:55And it's Kaminga in at the small forward position.

19:58So that's the group out there for Golden State.

20:00MP passes to Butler.

20:08Good.

20:08And it's MP picking up the assist.

20:12MP's got his seventh assist in the game.

20:17Murray, good.

20:19Murray's got 22 points.

20:20And we've seen so much offensive growth for Murray.

20:24He's become a guy who can have nights like this.

20:27Back to Curry.

20:32Rejected by Murray.

20:33They've shown some strength in the paint today.

20:36Their work on the boards has been impressive.

20:39Hawkins passes to Murray.

20:44Mesey finds Murray.

20:49Back to Mesey.

20:51And Mesey throws it down.

20:53Well, Murray's got a great feel of when to let that pass go in the pick and roll.

20:58Curry against Hawkins.

21:04And Curry the bucket on the assist by MP.

21:08MP's got assist number eight here in this one already.

21:12Williamson with the bounce pass.

21:18Murray down low.

21:20Guarded by Curry.

21:21That one falls.

21:22Yeah, three consecutive field goals have come right at the rim.

21:25The D had better start.

21:28Buckley now.

21:32Hawkins against MP.

21:35Butler dishes to MP.

21:37Outside, Kaminga.

21:39Back to Shing.

21:43Three-pointer, Butler.

21:45Oh, my!

21:45He'll go to the line with a chance for a four-point play.

21:50It's going to be on Zion Williamson.

21:52He's made one and missed one so far in the game.

21:55Got to admire what he's been able to do at the free throw line this season.

21:59How about over 90%?

22:02Well, when you talk about Butler, his toughness is what comes to mind first.

22:06This guy plays hard every second he's out there.

22:10A throwback type of play.

22:16MP against Murray.

22:17MP kicks to Curry.

22:20Good.

22:20And the assist goes to MP.

22:23Curry's got five points in the quarter.

22:25It doesn't matter if it's off the bounce or off the catch.

22:29Curry never loses rhythm on his jump shot.

22:32Pass to Hawkins.

22:34New Orleans moving it around.

22:36In the corner.

22:36Murray with it.

22:41Over to the left wing.

22:43Second chance shot.

22:47Meecee's shot is good.

22:49And they're beginning to just flat out fall apart defensively right now.

22:53Especially on the interior.

22:57MP passes to Butler.

22:59Back to Scheng.

23:02Butler on the way.

23:03And the ball goes out of bounds.

23:05Last touch by MP.

23:06Taking a look here at the numbers for Curry.

23:09He's been dominant over the last month.

23:11And ranked among the top ten in scoring.

23:14He can fill it up with the best of them.

23:16And it's nice when you have the NBA's best free throw shooter.

23:19Just keep the ball in his hands in clutch situations.

23:22He's been completely automatic this season.

23:25Here's Murray.

23:26Kicks it out to Williamson.

23:28It's Hawkins on the wing.

23:33Gets it to go from beyond the arc.

23:36Hawkins has got 19 points.

23:38What a feeling for the young Hawkins.

23:41Completely taken over this one.

23:44MP passes to Curry.

23:46The kick outside to Butler.

23:48To the paint.

23:50Deflects the pass.

23:51Green dishes to MP.

23:53Green breaking loose.

23:58And there's the bucket from Kaminga.

24:01Kaminga's got ten points in the game.

24:04And so it's Murray who brings the ball up for New Orleans.

24:10Shoots over Curry.

24:11Green with the block.

24:13No matter what night it is,

24:15Green seeks to intimidate

24:17and more often than not, succeed.

24:20That one drops for him.

24:21Yeah, this is when they need to lean on him more.

24:24Get him the ball and let him build some momentum.

24:30Now Murray.

24:3224 points for him.

24:38Unloads from 13.

24:40Shin pulls it in.

24:41Warriors trail by 20.

24:45To the inside.

24:47Here's Butler.

24:48Butler.

24:49Shooting foul.

24:50As the whistle blows,

24:52he'll shoot two free throws.

24:54It's going to be on Zion Williamson.

24:57Well, Butler might be the toughest guy in this league.

25:01Fighting down low.

25:03What do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for New Orleans?

25:07Well, they've been owning the painted area offensively.

25:10I love the intensity they're playing with down there.

25:14And also, they took advantage of their quickness.

25:16Got inside and blew through the open lanes.

25:19Great job of attacking the paint.

25:22And you look at this Pelicans team, coach.

25:24Kind of a wild card.

25:25Different look here for the Warriors.

25:39Green, he's checked in for Butler.

25:41Moses Moody comes in for Heald.

25:44Pajemski, he's checked in for Seth Curry.

25:47And MV subbed in for Curry.

25:49Shot by Pajemski.

25:50No good.

25:50Jones looking for an opening.

25:57Pass to Alvarado.

25:59It's Hawkins on the wing.

26:01Bangs home the trifecta.

26:03Hawkins has got 29 in the game.

26:06Well, he has owned this quarter.

26:07A major reason they're up right now.

26:11MP passes to Moody.

26:16MP outside.

26:19Moody finds MP.

26:20Kaminga against Jones.

26:26Yes, that goes in.

26:28Kaminga's got 14 points.

26:30Unselfish basketball.

26:32That's what coaches love to see.

26:36Here's Alvarado.

26:37Again, the Pelicans score.

26:39Well, that's taking full advantage of the opening.

26:42The defense probably willing to give him that one.

26:45But I like that he's capitalizing on it.

26:47And so it's the New Orleans Pelicans with a 21-point lead to end the quarter.

26:52The scoring has been tremendous.

26:54And they are shooting lights out with very high accuracy.

26:58Back to the action in just a minute.

26:59Here now a chance to show you our assist of the game.

27:27And it's presented, as always, by State Farm.

27:31And definitely deserving of the prize tonight.

27:33How about the read he made here?

27:36Looking like a point guard.

27:37Putting the pass right on the money.

27:39Well, his height gives him the ability to see the floor.

27:43And he makes a quick decision and a great pass.

27:49And we reach the fourth quarter in a game that may be already out of hand.

27:54So for New Orleans right now, Jones and Williamson in at the forward position.

27:59Hawkins is out there with Jose Alvarado.

28:02And it's Bay in at the center, filling out the middle.

28:04Bajemski on the wing.

28:13MP against Jones.

28:15MP kicks to Kaminga.

28:19Golden State moving the ball around.

28:21Shots good by Green.

28:23And that field goal percentage climbing now above 50%.

28:27They look like a different team here in the second half.

28:33Pass to Alvarado.

28:38Jones drives in.

28:40Swiped away.

28:42And here we go.

28:43MP hidden to the hoop.

28:46And here is Green.

28:48He's covered by Hawkins.

28:53MP outside.

28:54Moody finds MP.

28:58Back to Moody.

29:01That three off the mark.

29:03And this is what you like about his perimeter D.

29:05Never gave up and challenged the deep one.

29:08Yeah, and it's really hard to stay connected to shooters out there.

29:12And even harder to contest the shot without fouling.

29:16So much great work being done.

29:19So we see the Pelicans taking the W here.

29:26This crowd was stunned by the manner in which their team was dismantled.

29:29You know what?

29:30Shocking.

29:31I don't care what the matchup is.

29:33You never expect a road team to come in and just cruise to the kind of win they did tonight.

29:39And that about wraps it up.

29:41Here with Stan Van Gundy, Greg Anthony, and Allie LaForce, I'm Kevin Harlan, signing off for this presentation of NBA basketball.

29:50And we'll see you next time.

29:51We'll see you next time.

30:21We'll see you next time.

30:51We'll see you next time.
