SportsTranscript
00:00From the Toyota Center here in downtown Houston, Space City Home Network presents Houston Rockets Basketball.
00:10That's tonight the Red Hot 8-3 Rockets look to get another win, this time against the 7-6 Orlando Magic.
00:18One other thing to keep an eye on here tonight, the Rockets still the league's best three-point shooting team.
00:23Orlando allows the fewest three-point attempts per game.
00:27Now right with them were the Portland Trailblazers.
00:30Now, Macy Carter getting up and trying to challenge. There's no double team so far.
00:37Oh, the fatal flamingo.
00:39I don't know if I've seen Al Pete take those shots. I mean, that was amazing defense in Carter.
00:45Wagner, downhill. This guy is a restricted area mark.
00:52Wagner, into the paint.
00:55Scores just ran it up over the top at Jabari Smith Jr., which is what the Magic need.
01:00Here's Jabari. Da Silva plays him real well, but he's still having a whirling score.
01:06In the league in about 32 games, the Rockets do a great job of keeping teams off the foul line.
01:11So that's something to keep an eye on tonight is Shen Goon loses the handle.
01:14Here's Faulkner to Bain.
01:17Down by as many as 16 points in their cup games against Brooklyn, and they came back to win.
01:21That is blocked by Black.
01:24Here comes Da Silva, and he's able to run it up and in.
01:29The mindset why they gave us the whole house to go out and get Bain is that, you know, he can stretch the floor.
01:35He provides shooting.
01:37Good move.
01:39There's 7 for 11.
01:40The Rockets 4 of 11.
01:42Durant over Faulkner.
01:44Elbow jumper goes down.
01:46Get a bucket.
01:47Let's see if you can respond here defensively, though.
01:49The Rockets are very good in isos, namely because of guys like Kevin Durant and Alfred Shen Goon.
01:55Carter.
01:56Rebound Orlando.
01:57Here comes Black.
01:58Slips by Smith.
01:59Comes into the paint and is able to flip it underneath his arm and off in the window.
02:03So, am he going to rely on Steven and Reed to see if he can get this week going?
02:09Definitely needs Steven's physicality.
02:11They're up 12.
02:12Make it up 10.
02:14Now, when Tyus Jones is with the Grizzlies, he was the best backup point guard in the league.
02:17He has really struggled in his first go-around with the match.
02:20I can tell you who's not struggling.
02:23Durant going to back it down.
02:26Turn.
02:27And that'll drop.
02:28And there was a foul.
02:30So, one free throw coming up Kevin Durant.
02:33Rebound Shepard ahead to Durant.
02:35Has Holliday.
02:36Finds him.
02:37There you go.
02:38And here's the foul.
02:39It gets a stop.
02:39So, you get out and run and transition.
02:43So long and they forced the turnover.
02:45Scooped up by Tyus Jones.
02:47Rejected by Kevin Durant on an incredible chase down block.
02:51Shepard loses Isaac.
02:52Shepard to the rim.
02:54There in Holliday, snakes underneath.
02:55Isaac there giving chasers.
02:56No way he's going to be able to get that shot off with Isaac all over.
03:00Djinn-Goon.
03:01That was a foul.
03:02Deep three.
03:03Reed, Shepard.
03:06Chiseling away at that deficit.
03:08Looking for more.
03:08There's a screen.
03:09Reed with the drive.
03:10The pull-up.
03:11Another make.
03:12The Reed Shepard.
03:13Djinn-Goon runs Bain off the three-pool line.
03:15Now pulls back.
03:16Next to me.
03:17Misses the shot.
03:18Track down by Carter.
03:19Again, they're a very good offensive rebounding team.
03:21They find Isaac.
03:23Jonathan.
03:23Isaac.
03:24From the corner.
03:26It's picked up by Dias Jones.
03:29Got a couple.
03:30Got three former Grizzlies out there.
03:32There's one of them.
03:33Bain.
03:34Nice touch.
03:35Orlando to start the year, which is obviously not good.
03:40Howard to Carter.
03:43So Orlando has been able to stabilize things after the Rockets made that.
03:47Carter's really stepping up offensively, man.
03:49Looking really aggressive.
03:51Holliday up top for three.
03:53Josh O'Koge third in the league and steals turnover ratio.
03:58And crashed the offensive glass really well as of late two.
04:02Faulkner.
04:06Oh, pullback by Reed Shepard.
04:10Oh, excuse me.
04:15Houston's in zone of man right now.
04:17He's just scrambling all over the place.
04:20That goes down on the runner for Anthony Black.
04:23And again, Orlando team that has struggled to shoot from the outside.
04:27That's why you're going to see probably even more of it.
04:30The Silva.
04:31Oh, gosh.
04:31Did he call glass?
04:34I don't like that everything is a tough two right now for Houston.
04:38Those are not sustainable looks.
04:40And Silva now this time on the move.
04:42So it's five in a row for him.
04:43It's a rather good.
04:47I saw him here on the near side.
04:50Shoots over the top of Carter.
04:52Makes it.
04:53You play it perfect.
04:54But it gives you back-to-back buckets.
04:56Give and go.
04:58Da Silva.
04:59Guess who?
05:00Significant improvement.
05:04Game from Carter.
05:05Straightaway three.
05:06It goes.
05:07His first.
05:11Shoot 32%.
05:13He's looking at the already 41% though for his career.
05:16He's Durant.
05:16And a comfort behind win.
05:19Here for the Rockets.
05:21Orlando, they were down 16 in the first half to Brooklyn in their last game.
05:25Came back and won it.
05:26Durant, that's a good start and won.
05:30Shungun doubled.
05:31That pass got deflected.
05:32Picked up by Black.
05:34Works his way by Okoge.
05:36Weaved on and dunked on.
05:39Goodness.
05:40He is still looking for his first bucket.
05:42He's over five now as a man Thompson.
05:44Faulkner right to the rim, right into the chest of Kevin Durant.
05:48He's gotten hot and run off many in a row.
05:50So six in a row for the Magic.
05:52Kevin Durant contested three in and out on Pitcher.
05:54Read on Shungun.
05:57Now he puts it in.
05:58So he's got ten.
06:00I don't know about that.
06:02Well, you actually had committed to Washington originally, right?
06:05Now, St. Louis.
06:05St. Louis.
06:06Shungun got to the rim for the quarter of a row.
06:08Universities used to come in at the last second.
06:10Only two places I would have, you know,
06:12make me change my mind.
06:15Jabari.
06:16History.
06:16Good.
06:18Mosley also pointed out Jabari and Amit are both extremely teachable
06:21and have a willingness to learn.
06:23Jamal Mosley, a very highly regarded.
06:25Oh, just Wagner circles.
06:27Coming out of the timeout.
06:29How did you register for fast?
06:30I think you had to go in person or you had to do it over the phone.
06:34That's a volleyball spike for Alper and Shungun.
06:37Yeah, in person or over the phones.
06:39There was an automated phone system.
06:41Kevin Durant in the lane.
06:42Pulls up.
06:43Rises up.
06:44Knocks it down.
06:45And again, Houston able to get a stop.
06:48Houston can stack here.
06:49Aren't enough timeouts.
06:51Bang the swing.
06:52Intercepted by Okoge.
06:53Rockets now forcing some turnovers.
06:55They've done a great job of that as this season has gone.
06:58Not so much in this guy.
06:59And what a pass that was for Amit Thompson
07:02who dunks it down
07:03and what a way for a man to get his first basket of the game.
07:07Jamal Mosley.
07:08Oh, that way.
07:09Red nicely.
07:11That was the backdoor play.
07:13The Silva speeding, lobbing, and black dunking
07:16plus the foul.
07:18Spectacular there by the Orlando Magic.
07:20The injured list tonight also out with a groin injury.
07:23So they're down two starters.
07:25Here comes Reed Shepard.
07:27And there goes Patase.
07:29And that's going to be a goaltend.
07:30And again, very aggressive Reed Shepard.
07:33There's a large part of them shooting so many free throws
07:35at him out of the lineup.
07:36But their team does get to the free throw line.
07:39And Durant steps in.
07:41And Rockets have been within two a couple of times
07:43at the trillings at 14.
07:44Nice extra pass to the open corner three-point shooter.
07:47Stepping in for the injured Tar Easton.
07:49He's 2-3.
07:50Good job.
07:51The Bard just stayed home on Howard in the corner.
07:54He's going to bear black to shoot.
07:55And he makes it.
07:57So every time the Rockets threaten him.
08:00It's not had the same impact as we've seen this season tonight for Steven Adams.
08:05There for the health defense.
08:06But that shot is sweeping.
08:08Done a terrific job answering the Rockets pushing throughout this game.
08:12They're doing backing it on Wagner.
08:15Oh, yeah.
08:15It was a little bit of a shoulder.
08:17Hit the bucket.
08:18Plus the foul.
08:19Look like he did.
08:20That's the hot hand.
08:25On a couple of screens free up Howard.
08:27And he makes it.
08:28Again, he's going to play it tonight.
08:30He's up to our use.
08:31And he's going to get well sold.
08:33Durant, the crossover.
08:35Got foul.
08:36Count it.
08:36Carmel.
08:37Bain picks it up.
08:39Finds Howard.
08:40He has a clean look at one.
08:41And he makes it to the top of the circle.
08:45Shoot 37% for the three-point line this year.
08:5030% plus his career average has reached Shepard.
08:54But the story of this game has been the Magic keeping the Rockets at arm's length.
08:58Every time they threaten, the Magic keep them away.
09:01As Bain gets to the rim.
09:03And he's able to finish again over a former teammate.
09:07Bakers does it for him.
09:09Shepard off the pick.
09:11Slithering inside.
09:12Has it stopped by Bain?
09:13Here come the Magic.
09:15Three-on-one the other way.
09:16And now we have...
09:17Really been key stopping teams from swinging the ball.
09:22Rockets are averaging 125 plus per game.
09:26The Rockets once again down by 11.
09:28Orlando continues to have answers.
09:30They're on a 10-2 run into Shingun.
09:38Shingun on for Taze.
09:40Oh, drops down.
09:41Baseline.
09:41Drawing and done.
09:43That was nasty.
09:44He had his hand up and said,
09:46Oh, you don't want a double?
09:47You got one of the best closers to ever do it with Kevin Durant.
09:51Logger to Bataze.
09:53They found that soft spot in the middle of the zone.
09:58Shingun measures him up.
10:00Takes him off the dribble.
10:01Now they're going to fall.
10:03He's playing with his hands.
10:04Make the call.
10:05Topps of the turnaround.
10:06Out.
10:07Out.
10:11Durant.
10:11Off the shin goon.
10:12Back to him.
10:13Akedum orders him.
10:13Wide open.
10:14Javars McTurvich.
10:15Quarter 3 is on the way.
10:16In this draw.
10:16Hands it to Durant.
10:18Back to him.
10:21Now Heard.
10:21Backs him down.
10:23To Durant.
10:23And with him the 3 for the lead.
10:25Bane into the paint, flipped it, missed the shot.
10:33Steven Adams had to reestablish himself back in bounds, and because of that, didn't happen.
10:40Shangoan spinning, jumps it off the Thompson.
10:43Shot clock winding down the turnaround block.
10:46Oh, he's gone.
10:46The foul on window.
10:48Carter Jr. saying he fouled a man Thompson on the arm.
10:51He can't believe it.
10:52And if that stands, he's fouled out at six on Carter.
10:57They're probably going to challenge it.
10:58It's been a long but very important review.
11:03My lip reader, correct.
11:04If a defender just contests at the point of release and contact.
11:07After review, it's been determined that Carter was able to get to the ball legally,
11:10and the foul on the floor has been overturned to a no-call.
11:12The ball then hit out of bounds and was last touched by Thompson.
11:16Therefore, it'll be Orlando ball.
11:17The challenge is deemed successful, and they will not be charged at a timeout.
11:21Successful challenge, and a very important one for the Magic.
11:29Shangoan with Wagner, backs him in.
11:32Shake and bake again.
11:33Hit him with that shoulder, Jimmy, and scored.
11:35Well, they stayed home.
11:36They didn't want to give up the three, remember?
11:39He's a back man.
11:41Bain on Shepard.
11:43Bain blows by him.
11:44Bain into Carter!
11:45Carter from the dunker spot and dunks it down.
11:48The cut and the slam.
11:51All right, time, not your friend if you're Houston.
11:55Durant on top.
11:56Durant pulling back.
11:58Shooting for the tie.
11:59Oh!
12:00And he gets it!
12:01Kevin Durant is cold!
12:04And Bain has hit one of these this season already.
12:09Here we go.
12:10Here we go.
12:16Shangoan defending Black.
12:17Now to Wagner.
12:18Thompson's on him.
12:19To Bain.
12:20Pressured by Okoge.
12:21He was back on the floor for this possession.
12:23Defensively.
12:24Bain loses, and Bain comes in the paint.
12:25Has it stopped?
12:27Out of bounds it goes.
12:285.1 to go.
12:30After he has been determined that Bain is the last to touch the ball after a legal play by Sengun at the rim.
12:36It'll be Houston ball on the baseline.
12:38All right.
12:39Rockets win that.
12:39He's at the 5.3.
12:41Keep in mind what you can offer.
12:43Oh, you had him.
12:44Thompson was open.
12:45Now to Durant.
12:46Loses his fight.
12:46Oh, my God.
12:47Ball's there.
12:48Hicked up by Black.
12:49And he binged Sengun to the rim for the dunk.
12:51What the foul?
12:53Oh, no.
12:55But again, Isaacs doesn't want to leave.
13:00Thompson looking.
13:01Looking.
13:02That's it.
13:02That's it.
13:02Oh, Sengun got the...
13:03That's it.
13:04I told you.
13:04He hit the hook shot at the hard.
13:06And the game is tied at 1-0-2.
13:08And we've got bowling basketball tonight inside of Toyota Center.
13:12Pandemonium inside the building.
13:15Now he's on the ball.
13:16It'll be Black.
13:17The inbounder.
13:19He's got to throw it up towards the rim.
13:21And now you can breathe at least for a couple of additional minutes
13:26until the extra five starts here tonight at Toyota Center.
13:32Sengun on Bain.
13:33Spun into Black.
13:34Kept the ball.
13:36Find Smith.
13:37The three from the wing.
13:38Short tap.
13:39Sengun.
13:40No.
13:40Rebound.
13:41Sengun took it away from Carter.
13:43Stays with the play.
13:44Missed it.
13:44Tapped by Adams.
13:45Tapped by Sengun.
13:46Sengun still has the ball.
13:48He's working.
13:49Goes behind the back.
13:49That is where the Rockets are the best offense.
13:54The ball that whole time through.
13:56That is wizardry.
14:00And Bain scores again after the Rockets pull the rabbit out of their hat.
14:0626 for the game.
14:08Durant.
14:09To Sengun.
14:10The catch.
14:11There goes the man Thompson on the other side to stuff it down.
14:14Now Houston's got to find a way to get it.
14:17Here's the mismatch.
14:18Be ready to play.
14:20Sengun.
14:21Backing it on Bain.
14:22Shoots over the top of Bain.
14:24And the ball.
14:28Rockets by one.
14:29They see some back out in front.
14:31Black working on Sengun.
14:32He's playing with five fouls.
14:34Defends him well.
14:35Comes into a cutting bunker.
14:36It's blocked by Jabari Smith Jr.
14:40Durant still one-on-one.
14:41Durant into the paint.
14:42Durant rises up.
14:43Durant scores.
14:46Time out magic.
14:47Make some ball.
14:54Houston's biggest lead.
14:56Let him take the shot.
14:58Still fouled him.
15:00The heat by Bain.
15:01And the Rockets have won the game.
15:04Somehow.
15:05Someway.
15:06They survive and beat the Magic tonight.
15:09Get...
15:09Get...
