02:42told me that they matched up many times together from their days with the san antonio spurs and the
02:47oklahoma city thunder in the western conference and when they both arrived in chicago they obviously just
02:54are two high iq players that have learned to play off of each other with their pass first mentality that's
03:01why they've been so effective together and we'll see that again tonight

04:12For the land of the free and the home of the brave.
04:36Now, let's be discarded by the floor of the Miami East.
04:40Number 45, Davion Mitchell.
04:45A 6'4 guard from UCLA, number 24, Norman Powell.
04:50A 7-foot center from Indiana, number 7, Khalil Ware.
04:54A 6'5 forward from Arizona, number 9, Pella Larson.
04:58And a 6'9 forward from Kentucky, number 13, Bam Adebayo.
05:03The head coach of the Miami Heat is Eric Spolstra.
05:08Bulls Nation, Bulls Nation.
05:18You know what time it is?
05:20You know what time it is.
05:21You know.
05:24Are you ready?
05:25It's time to see red.
05:26It's time to see red.
05:27I don't think you're ready.
05:28I'm ready.
05:29You know what time it is?
05:30We hope, like you don't have any energy hit.
05:31Here's your story.
05:32You don't have any energy hit.
05:33Let's go.
05:34Let's go.
05:36Let's go.
05:37Let's go.
06:38Starting lineup for your Chicago Bulls.
06:44From Chicago, a 6'10 forward, number 14, Matas Buscellas.
06:54A 6'5 forward from Auburn, number 35, Isaac Okoro.
07:00The man in the middle from USC in Montenegro.
07:06And 6'11, number 9, Nikola Fuchave.
07:12From Chicago, a 6'4 guard, number 11, Hayao Tosumu.
07:22And a 6'8 guard from Australia, number 3, Josh Kinney.
07:30That's the starting lineup for your...
07:34It's the Bulls and the Heat in Game 3 of the third Emirates NBA Cup.
07:40These two teams have gotten to know each other very well.
07:42Adam Amin, Stacey King.
07:44The Heat have gotten the front of the Bulls damage.
07:48They've lost eight of the last ten meetings against the Bulls.
07:50But when it's really counted in the play-in tournament each of the last three seasons,
07:54the Prevagen memorable moment shows us the Heat have actually come through big.
07:57Well, again, I mean, they're a different team in the playoffs.
07:59And Spolcher is showing you why he's one of the best coaches and gets his team prepared.
08:03And it's not a fluke.
08:04It's not a fluke that this has happened the last few years.
08:08He'd come in tonight with a record of 9-6.
08:11They've won their last couple of ballgames.
08:13They beat New York on Monday night in a two-point victory
08:16and then blew out a shorthanded Golden State team on Wednesday with a huge fourth quarter.
08:21They do not have Andrew Wiggins, Nikola Jovic, or Tyler Hero,
08:25who's expected to make his season debut Monday.
08:27Bulls are without Kobe White tonight.
08:29They do have Trey Jones off the bench.
08:31Io Dosumu makes his first start.
08:33And Buzelis will jump it up against Kellell Ware.
08:37And away we go from Chicago.
08:41Tony Brothers, our lead official tonight, the veteran of 30-plus seasons.
08:47There is Norman Powell.
08:48He's their leading scorer this season, showing that last year was no fluke.
08:52Kellell Larson, the former Arizona Wildcat, misfires.
08:56Adebayo's attempt to put it back won't go.
08:58Ware's last to touch.
08:59It's Bulls ball.
09:01Well, again, if they watched any of the game against Portland,
09:04they probably told their players to hit the offensive glass.
09:07The Bulls struggled late in the game against the Portland Trailblazers, boxing out.
09:13Second chance opportunity is too much for the opponents.
09:16Bulls are 8-6 after their 2-1 West Coast swing,
09:20with Vucevic nailing critical three-pointers, including the game-winner at the buzzer against Portland.
09:26Here's Bruzelis.
09:28Trying to bounce back tonight.
09:29Finds Giddey for three.
09:30Bang, bang, bang.
09:33Good driving kick.
09:35These two teams are mirror images of each other.
09:37The Bulls have been as good of a driving kick team as any in the league.
09:40Nice move by Bam Adebayo, playing his second game back from a toe injury.
09:44Bam Adebayo's gonna be one of the main guys tonight.
09:47He's gonna get a lot of shots, both him and Powell.
09:50Powell is averaging 25 a game this year so far.
09:54On a bio averaging 19 and 8.
09:57Nice slip and a pull of the jersey.
10:01It's a foul against Pella Larson.
10:05Minute-plus in as you look at the Bet365 player props.
10:09You don't think the L.A. Clippers wish they would have kept Powell?
10:13Underrated.
10:14Traded from Los Angeles last year, split the rest of the season with Miami
10:19and re-signed and has put together a fabulous start.
10:22One of the best three-point shooters in the league at 47%.
10:25Ridiculous.
10:27Io late in the clock.
10:28Okoro's gotta fire.
10:31And Powell, one of the smaller guys on the floor, has the board.
10:34Here's the smallest guy on the floor.
10:35That's Davion Mitchell, who's done a nice job at point guard.
10:38Lobbing it up top for Ware.
10:40Tough catch.
10:41Recoils blocked by the rim.
10:42Out of bounds to the Heat.
10:45How about Davion Mitchell with the little shoulder push off.
10:49What a strong guard.
10:50Well, he's the shortest guy on the floor, but he's not poorly built.
10:54He's well-structured to the shoulders.
10:56Inbound to Powell.
10:57That won't go, so a rare miss it feels like from him.
11:00Here comes Giddey on the attack.
11:03Across the drive to glide.
11:05Gonna get some butter with that roll, Josh Giddey.
11:08He's got all five for the Bulls who lead by three.
11:11There's not a bio.
11:12He'll pull up.
11:13He's been shooting well, and he knocks down a three.
11:1637%.
11:17He's starting to become a better three-point shooter the last two seasons.
11:20There was a time he would not even take that shot.
11:23Here is the set-up for Pucevic.
11:26Ware flies in.
11:27The second-year man with the rebound.
11:29We're really high on Ware.
11:30I think he's got a chance to be very, very good.
11:33Once he gets some more experience, a little weight on his body.
11:36So, second-team all-rookies selection with Bruce Ellis last year.
11:39On a mile, comes up short.
11:41Ware couldn't squeeze it.
11:42And it's Bulls' ball.
11:48Bulls on the top side of a back-to-back.
11:50They'll take on the Wizards tomorrow night.
11:52The schedule will lighten up for about a week and a half,
11:55just based on the opponent's win percentage coming up.
11:58This is a key test for Billy Donovan's crew tonight, though.
12:03They got a chance to really do some special things during that stretch.
12:07Playing the Washingtons and the Indianas of the world.
12:09That should, potentially, you could have called the foul on Boozellis, frankly, there.
12:13Larson's frustrated because Boozellis kind of wrapped him up around the shoulders.
12:17But Larson will get tagged for it.
12:18Bulls will take it.
12:19And it'll be side out.
12:20Or away from the play, I should say.
12:23They're going to call it away from the play foul.
12:25So, shot in the ball.
12:28If you commit a foul before the inbounds pass gets delivered on a side out,
12:32then it's away from the play.
12:33Eric Spolstra, the new head coach of Team USA,
12:36closing in on 800 career wins, vehemently disagrees with the call.
12:43There is Coach Spoh, one of the best in the business.
12:46Now, with the retirement of Greg Popovich this past offseason,
12:50the longest tenured head coach in the NBA in his 18th season.
12:56Now, you can hear him quite clearly.
12:57He thought it was a terrible call.
12:59It's a break for the Bulls.
13:00They'll take it to take the lead.
13:05Io making his first start of the season.
13:06Stepping through it.
13:07I tell you what, he's been automatic going to the basket with that layup.
13:11Both him and Trey Jones.
13:12I said it the other day.
13:13He didn't practice that move.
13:16Mitchell draws in a coral foul.
13:17He'll have two shots.
13:18They've been practicing that high layup off the glass,
13:21going over the big guys.
13:22And they've been finishing at a high clip.
13:24There it is right here.
13:25Nice little wheel action.
13:27And there's...
13:30Right over the top of the big guy.
13:33Jaime Jaquez is 6'6",
13:35and Osuma was able to glide through.
13:38Bulls fans, it's 7'30 tonight.
13:40So, about 13 minutes away.
13:41Got a Bulls drop.
13:42So, open up your Bulls app.
13:43Join the drop for your chance to win a custom statement jersey
13:46presented by American Express.
13:53Davion Mitchell, just six feet tall.
13:55He packs a punch.
13:56And he has performed very well.
13:58And last to touch was Giddy,
14:00so it'll be heat ball with 14 to shoot.
14:02They've done a nice job.
14:04Hiro really became the ball handler last year.
14:06Obviously, he hasn't played yet.
14:07So, Mitchell has done an excellent job in that role.
14:12Powell.
14:13A runner in the paint.
14:14The bag is much deeper now for Norman Powell.
14:17His offensive game has improved.
14:18Well, that was a nice out-of-bounds play.
14:19They sent, like, two guys as decoys
14:21and then Powell came right behind the second guy.
14:24Yeah, two lead blockers for him essentially running through the hole.
14:27Oh, you got to post up.
14:29Yeah.
14:30Vucevic has Davion Mitchell on him right now.
14:32Giddy finds a cutting Okoro, though.
14:33Nice finish.
14:36You know, you get a little antsy when you see Vucevic
14:38with that good of a size advantage, but Okoro's able to get it done.
14:41But he's got to take advantage of the matchups.
14:44You don't get them every night.
14:46This is a tough matchup for Manas, so he has to go up against Bam Adebayo,
14:50as Vucevic has Kalel Ware.
14:52Hey!
14:53Okoro drives, and unable to finish against Mitchell.
14:56Here comes Hawkins.
14:58Miami's still yet to lead.
15:00It is Ware on the feed.
15:01Nice shot by Guzelis.
15:02Oh, I thought I got a piece of that.
15:03He certainly deterred the shot from Ware.
15:05Here comes Giddybeck.
15:06He's still on the drive into Adebayo.
15:07It's a blocking foul.
15:08So, end-to-end action from Manas Bouzelis, who got pulled after two minutes against
15:20Portland.
15:21Here it is right here.
15:22He comes over there.
15:23He might have got a piece of that.
15:24He did.
15:25Absolutely.
15:26Get to the rim.
15:27And one thing you have to really watch out for this Miami Heat team in there.
15:31You know, historically good at drawing charges.
15:34These guys will take charges all night long.
15:36So, you got to be very careful.
15:38Hey, Bulls fans.
15:39Sit at Benny's Splash Zone by Jewel Osco.
15:41Experience Benny's famous by the corn spill and get complimentary popcorn.
15:45Visit blues.com slash Splash Zone to learn more.
15:49It's not the easiest thing to say.
15:50Slash Splash Zone.
15:51It's going to be my first share of issues.
15:53I had a tongue twisted all day important.
15:55And I was like, oh, it's a seashore.
15:57It's a seashore.
15:58By the seashore.
15:59They were giving me a slashing read.
16:01Classic nursery, right?
16:02Yeah.
16:03Everything, like, everything is, like, kind of, like, matching.
16:05And I'm like, oh, my God.
16:06This is terrible.
16:07I'm struggling.
16:08You haven't brushed up on your iambic pentameter completely.
16:10This is terrible.
16:12Four point.
16:13Sleeky.
16:14Four minutes in.
16:16Jaquez rotates.
16:17It's out of Bayou.
16:19Mitchell on the attack.
16:20He's got that little float and finger roll game going very well.
16:24Now, you know, KYP.
16:25Know your personnel.
16:26He's not going to shoot it.
16:27He's going to try to drive it.
16:34Here is Giddey.
16:35Sweeping through.
16:36Got stuck.
16:37Dosubo had to save it to Guzelis.
16:39Who saves it a mid-court with the...
16:41Jaquez deflection.
16:42He comes back and steals it.
16:43Here comes Jaquez back.
16:45Off to Mitchell.
16:46Into Okoro.
16:47Back outside for Powell.
16:48Trying to put the moves on Giddey.
16:50He draws the foul.
16:51And he'll have a couple of shots coming.
16:53Giddey frustrated with the sequencing of that defensive possession.
16:56And he ends up with the foul.
16:58His first and the second of the Bulls.
17:00The modest kind of got a little bit too comfortable driven the ball before.
17:03Didn't.
17:04Wasn't strong with it.
17:05There's a little reach in.
17:06String the Bulls off to three devices at home or on the go with the CHSN app.

17:21The home stream advantage on the Chicago Sports Network.
17:25Norman Powell has a point at the line.
17:29He will step aside with seven and a half to play.
17:31Opening quarter in this NBA Cup contest.
17:34Stigna Terry's in that shot.
17:36Bob Costas.
17:37John Paxson.
17:38Of course the great Neil Funk.
17:39All part of our ring of honor.
17:41Ceremonies.
17:42It was real fun last night.
17:44Bob Costas.
17:49The words are burned into my head.
17:51Seventeen seconds from game seven or championship number six.
17:55Jordan open Chicago with the lead.
17:58Those words are burned into the childhood of so many Bulls fans.
18:03And then of course Neil Funk a few seats down.
18:06Jordan hangs.
18:07Fires.
18:08Scores.
18:09Michael Jordan's famous final shot as a Chicago Bull in Utah for championship number six.
18:15These guys are iconic guys.
18:17You know we were talking about last night at the ring of honor dinner.
18:21You know you got guys like Chick Hearn and Johnny Most and Al McCoy and Phoenix and all these legendary guys Neil came in with.
18:28You know.
18:30Lucevic in traffic.
18:31He'll draw a foul.
18:32That'll go against Davion Mitchell.
18:35He ended up in the fray.
18:37The one thing that all these guys had in common were the voices.
18:41The voices of the decade.
18:43You know.
18:44Generational voices.
18:45That just.
18:46You just remember.
18:47Just you didn't have to see their faces.
18:49Just your voice.
18:50You knew who it was.
18:51It was funny I was talking to Eric Reid who's the wonderful television play-by-play voice for the Miami Heat has been doing it pretty much since the inception of the team in 1988.
19:00And Eric was telling me that he started saying kaboom because of Neil Funk and I was like oh that's that's interesting.
19:07How did that come about.
19:08He goes I was in the back of a cab.
19:10We were talking to the cab driver who was from a different country.
19:13And the cab driver started talking to Dr. Jack Ramsey and he said I love listening to the Bulls on the radio.
19:19He goes oh why's that.
19:20He goes because the announcer says kaboom.
19:22And Eric loved just the sound or the concept of saying kaboom for a big shot.
19:27And then he kind of adopted that as well.
19:30So he took from Neil Funk in the way that a lot of musicians might interpolate something from an artist that they love.
19:36Eric Reid kind of took that.
19:37Nice pass.
19:38Nice pass to Okoro for the news.
19:39I was at home one day sick and I didn't I've never heard that.
19:42And I heard Eric Reid yell kaboom.
19:44Yeah.
19:45So I made a few phone calls.
19:46We were going to give him a visit.
19:49You could be using my man's catchphrase buddy.
19:52But I've known Eric Reid when I was playing.
19:54He played for the need as well.
19:55He's a great dude man.
19:56He always gives Neil credit for that too.
19:58Absolutely.
19:59Which is awesome.
20:00A lot of guys don't do that.
20:01Nice maneuvering with the left hand by Williams off the glass.
20:04He listened.
20:05He listened to me.
20:06I told him something about that jump hook.
20:08He can use it on either side.
20:10He's got the strength to do so.
20:11Nice drive by Mitchell.
20:12Very crafty small guard.
20:14Well one of the things Patrick does is when he gets inside he just shoots the ball.
20:18He's got a push shot.
20:19I told him the other day on the west coast trip.
20:21When you get inside and get that jump hook.
20:23You jump so well.
20:24Just go.
20:25Elevator with people.
20:26Turn that hand.
20:27Put that hand on top of the ball.
20:29A nice play by Simone Fontecchio.
20:31Knocked it free from Perder.
20:32Off the head for Ware with the Euro.
20:34And Perder recovers with a block.
20:36Right back to Ware.
20:37And one.
20:38Good recovery by Ware.
20:39That was a slow Euro move by Ware.
20:42Yep.
20:43The Bulls blocked that shot.
20:44Just couldn't come up with that loose ball.
20:46The foul is on Williams in the fray.
20:48Here it is right here.
20:49Good defense.
20:50Kal-El Ware to the free throw line.
21:00You know some folks pronounce it Khalil and he says that's okay too.
21:04But he told a couple of people that his birth name is based off of his mother loving the character Superman.
21:11Of course Superman's name is Kal-El.
21:13And she changed it from an A to an E so she calls him Kal-El.
21:18So I'm just going to roll the deck as Mama calls him play.
21:21As Mama calls him play.
21:22Mama calls him master.
21:23Here's the drive by Gidey.
21:25Dumped it off for Bucic.
21:26Work it on Ware.
21:27A little too strong of a hole.
21:29And Ware who's averaging a double-double.
21:31Already got three points.
21:33Three points.
21:34Nice knock away by Williams.
21:36Punched it away from Hawkins.
21:39Bucic's running the floor.
21:41The pass a little late.
21:42A little low.
21:43And Powell's able to knock it free and steal it.
21:45Bites Mitchell.
21:46That's a three.
21:47And a short.
21:48That's the shot you're going to give up Mitchell.
21:50You give him that shot until he proves that he's a consistent outside shooter.
21:54This year he's been right around 40 percent in a lower volume.
21:59He had a good season last year.
22:01Trey Jones is making his first appearance since the game in Detroit.
22:05Gidey and Vucevic come off.
22:06Bulls go a little smaller here.
22:08They do bring in Smith.
22:09But Jones coming off the bench after dealing with that ankle issue that had kept him off the west coast trip.
22:19Here's Powell.
22:20And you can just tell that he's worked hard on his offensive game and he's got so many other moves and drives to be able to score.
22:29Nice slip to Smith.
22:30Nice play.
22:31Good pass by Patrick Williams.
22:33A two man game.
22:34Nice little deal in Wheeler right there.
22:36He just went right to the rim.
22:38Two man game.
22:39Tied a few times.
22:42Bulls have led the entirety of the way.
22:45And Ware gets another tie with a nice feed from Fontecchio.
22:48You've got to start keeping these guys in front of you.
22:52That's a big problem in Portland the other night.
22:55You guys are breaking guys down off the initial line.
22:59Williams no.
23:00Tapped by Ware out of bounds to the Bulls.
23:03And watch this two man game right here.
23:06With Smith and Williams.
23:07And this is our dunk and dunk.
23:09And everything runs on dunking.
23:11And there's Mr. Smith dunking.
23:14Look at that little pocket pass right there.
23:16That's a nice pass by Patrick Williams in the pocket.
23:19And all Smith had to do is go get it.
23:21All in stride for the big man.
23:23The fifth assist on seven Bulls baskets.
23:25Tied at 20.
23:27Action for Herber.
23:29Coming off a tough shooting game in Portland.
23:33Here's Io.
23:35Hand off for Jones.
23:36Working on the taller Hawkins.
23:38Late in the clock.
23:39Got to go.
23:40It's Jones for a three.
23:42Rebounded by the Heat.
23:44Picked up by Keyshot Johnson in his second year.
23:49Undrafted free agent.
23:51Played in an NCAA title game for San Diego State.
23:54Drew Smith is having a nice start to his season as well.
23:57They're really leaning into the younger guys like Johnson.
24:00Well they're one of the best teams at finding guys that no one else wants.
24:04And conforming them to Heat players and Heat culture.
24:07Miami has come back to take it's first lead after leading by seven or trailing by seven.
24:12Fire! Fire!
24:13It's a 12-2 run by the Heat.
24:15Dossuma another drive and glide to the rim.
24:18Nothing you can do when he gets down hill.
24:20Best two point shooters in the history of the Chicago Bulls.
24:25Good defense by Herder on Hawkins.
24:28He returns the favor.
24:30Dossuma fighting off on Tecchio.
24:33Jones tries to follow it.
24:34A foul is late but it's called.
24:36As Trey Jones was there to follow it up.
24:38The foul goes against Hawkins.
24:40The Bulls are in the bonus.
24:42And we talk about health defense.
24:44This is what gets you help right here to watch.
24:46Look who comes over there.
24:47Boom.
24:48There's Iowa right there.
24:49And we talk about that on a 90 basis.
24:51That's one of the areas the Bulls have to consistently get better at.
24:55Closest man to the ball handler.
24:57Be in position to help and leave your man for a second just for some support.
25:01That's a good job Ohio.
25:03Tonight's game is brought to you by Marquette Bank.
25:06Marquette Bank is Chicago's trusted neighborhood bank and home lender.
25:09You can level up your banking at emarquettebank.com.
25:13Love where you bank.
25:15See David Terry checking in.
25:16He had a nice road trip.
25:18Yep.
25:19Particularly the last two games.
25:20Denver and Portland put up very solid minutes while the Bulls were navigating the pendulum swings of all three of those games.
25:27Big leads blown.
25:29Big shots late.
25:30That seemed to be a theme these last few days.
25:33Montecchio stumbles and finds Smith.
25:36And reach and foul.
25:38That'll be the last foul to give for the Bulls.
25:40And it goes against Patrick Williams.
25:42That's his second personal.
25:50They will say it was in the act of shooting.
25:52So two shots coming.
25:58This is Drew Smith fourth year out of Missouri resigned with the heat already.
26:02More usage this season than any of his first three seasons.
26:07A lot of injuries and a torn ACL and a ruptured Achilles but they continue to invest in their young players.
26:13And the thing about the guys they get, you know, they have the same kind of makeup.
26:18They're tough, tough guys.
26:19You come back from those type of injuries.
26:21Yeah.
26:22You have to be mentally tough.
26:23And that's, you know, Pat Riley started when he went down there to Miami.
26:27Just trying to develop a culture where guys are tough and mentally tough.
26:32Not just physically tough but mentally tough.
26:34They still do the same things that they did when you played.
26:37You're sitting in Miami.
26:38They still charge charges and deflections and the hustle plays.
26:41They still have a chart health defense.
26:43They chart a lot of those hustle things that make up what is now called good culture.
26:48Smith, no.
26:49Johnson fights off Guzellas for the rebound.
26:51Well, and what it does is if it's not broke, don't fix it.
26:54It's a proven formula.
26:56I mean, Pat Riley was the first one, really, with analytics.
26:59I mean, he's the one that, like, broke down how many guys, what a guy shoots from the corner,
27:03what he shoots from the top of the circle.
27:05We used to go over that all the time and, you know, where we can relax that defensively
27:09and where we have to close out aggressively.
27:11Guzellas to tie it.
27:12That won't go.
27:13Long rebound belongs to Smith.
27:15They've made the playoffs 26 of the 37 years they've been in existence.
27:20It's a pretty good ratio.
27:21Guzellas with a foul.
27:24Let's do some quick math slash typing it into a tablet.
27:2870% of Miami's seasons they've gone to the postseason.
27:32Bulls try to get back to the playoffs.
27:34They've been eliminated from the play-in tournament each of the last three seasons
27:37by this pesky, plucky Miami Heat squad.
27:43They lead the league in pace of play.
27:45The Bulls rank third in the NBA, and I asked Eric Spolstra about this game tonight,
27:50and he said these teams are having a very similar style of play.
27:53They both have a bit of a grittiness to them, he told me.
27:56And I also asked Bam Adebayo.
27:57He told me we're expecting a track meet tonight.
28:00He said it's going to come down to who is the most disciplined on the defensive end
28:03and who's going to get more stops.
28:05And, Ruthie, you look at Bam Adebayo.
28:07We hit him with the government name, by the way, Idris.
28:10He is the face of this now, along with Tyler Hero.
28:14But, again, Hero hasn't played.
28:15They're able to play faster because a player like Bam who plays the four and plays the five
28:20in the smaller lineup can run with the rest of these fast-moving guards.
28:23That's why they've been able to make a transition this year.
28:25Well, and they're both teams.
28:26I mean, you know, you got rid of your basement trays to get guys that can play this style of play.
28:31You got rid of guys like Jimmy Butler who did a great job for them in Miami,
28:35but he was an isolation player.
28:37Yep.
28:38Zach Levine and DeMar were isolation players here.
28:40So, when you have those type of players, you're going to play a lot slower,
28:43more, you know, half-court type of stuff.
28:46But now you've got these guys that can get up and down and run,
28:48and I believe you're going to see more teams play like this.
28:51Miami was 28th in case last year before being number one this year.
28:55Jones a little out of control.
28:57He controlled the shot off the glass.
28:59Jones said out of control compared to who?
29:02It's like you knew what he was doing.
29:04Fool's in his own right now.
29:05Out of the timeout, so they'll bust this out.
29:08Here is Smith firing away, and he hits the three.
29:13This is one of the best, and again, mirror images of each other.
29:16Two great three-point shooting teams.
29:18Bang, bang, bang.
29:20Smith hits that one after Smith hit the other one.
29:24These are two of the top four three-point shooting teams in the NBA so far this year.
29:30Johnson fires in and out, nearly got it to go.
29:32What a save by Smith.
29:34Two out of bio.
29:36Ninety seconds left.
29:37Fontecchio, he's having an outstanding year shooting the three.
29:41Terry ends up getting him on the wrist, according to the veteran Tony Brothers,
29:45and that will send Fontecchio to the line for two shots.
29:50Here he is right here again.
29:51That should be three, actually.
29:53Tony Brothers put up two fingers.
29:56Well, and one of the things about Miami is they're a consistent team that's always going to be up there shooting the three ball.
30:03They work on that every day.
30:05They shoot thousands of threes.
30:07So, what you're seeing with them now with this, you know, this faster pace,
30:11that means they're going to get to the three-point line and get more shots.
30:14Yeah.
30:15So, if you're the Bulls, you know this.
30:16You just got to close out under control.
30:18Don't go for fakes.
30:19Stay down.
30:20And make them make shots with contested hands.
30:25Julian Phillips will get the call late first quarter here for Bozelis.
30:30Well, like you said, when you have mirror images of each other,
30:34the Bulls play each other in practice this same style.
30:38So, it's very similar to what you see in a practice scenario just about every day.
30:42A lot of fast-break opportunities, a lot of points in the paint,
30:45a ton of drive-in kick to get a lot of catch-and-shoot threes.
30:50So, Sumu with Smith and Jones and Terry and Phillips.
30:57Here's Io.
30:59Still outside the perimeter.
31:01Now, Terry looking to penetrate.
31:03Kick out Smith.
31:04That's a three.
31:05Gets it to go.
31:07Living real.
31:08Living well.
31:10And with Smith right around 39, 40 percent from three so far this year.
31:15It's been playing really, really well.
31:18Here's Hawkes.
31:23Nice pick up by Terry.
31:25Blocked by Smith.
31:26Johnson got it back out to Hawkes.
31:28Still four to shoot.
31:29Kick out to Smith.
31:31He's gonna have to force it.
31:32And a foul is called.
31:34Count the basket.
31:35And Phillips reached in, sending Smith to the line.
31:38Yeah, that is not a smart play right there by Julian Phillips.
31:42Again, just a little bit, a little bit overreacting right there.
31:47You did a good job.
31:48You closed out.
31:49You did your job.
31:50Now, just square up now.
31:52Because he gave him the right-hand drive.
31:55You want to take away that right-hand drive and make him shoot.
31:58It was only four on the clock.
32:00Here comes Jones.
32:02Miami gets back defensively.
32:04Ayo.
32:05Trying to break down Hawkes.
32:09Using the body.
32:10Using the bump.
32:11The tip try wouldn't go.
32:12It's about a two-second-plus different shot in game clock.
32:15Miami could essentially hold for the last shot.
32:17Didn't have a second-chance point since 11-2 Miami.
32:22Now, this is where you, right here, Adam, you got to talk.
32:26Where are you sitting there?
32:27What are we doing here defensively?
32:28Taka spinning.
32:29Phillips to strip.
32:30Ayo tried to save it out of bounds with 3.1 to shoot.
32:35And you have to communicate.
32:37The guys in the back have to communicate and let the guys up from the front court know where to send them.
32:44Nice shot by Ayo.
32:49He knocks it out of bounds.
32:51So now 2.2.
32:53About a second came off.
32:56What's been a high-scoring opening quarter?
32:59Well, what did Ruthie just tell us?
33:00They were all expecting a track meet.
33:02And it certainly felt like it at times in that first period.
33:08Montecchio gets it off.
33:10Won't go.
33:11Still time.
33:12Oh, that's pretty good strength considering he was all the way in the opposite corner.
33:18But a high-octane opening 12.
33:2136 to 32.
33:23Miami has the lead in this Emirates NBA Cup group.
33:26Vant Horace, I know all the festivities kicked off last night with the gala and all of the events are taking place this weekend.
33:32What does it mean to you this weekend?
33:34I am so humble and honored to accept this invitation from the Chicago Bulls.
33:40They accepted me in 1987 by drafting me and just brought me love and respect and it's such an honor.
33:49Seven of your 17 seasons were played here in Chicago.
33:52Other than the championships and the winning, what did you love most about your time as a Bull?
33:57As a Bull, the relationship that we grown to have, you know, with all the players, the camaraderie, but most the fans here in Chicago.
34:09You having fun watching this group this year?
34:11Absolutely, man.
34:12The sky's the limit for this young basketball team.
34:15I mean, be patient and good things happen.
34:18Horace Grant, congratulations.
34:19Thanks for joining us.
34:20Thank you very much.
34:21Awesome stuff.
34:22They appreciate your former teammate Horace being kind enough to take some time with our crew tonight.
34:27One of my favorite.
34:28All those guys are my favorite.
34:29But Horace, me and Horace, we just have a good time together.
34:33Well, Tecchio's missed a couple.
34:35Giddy battling with Johnson for the rebound and he gets called for his second personal foul and immediately goes to Nate Green to politic.
34:45Well, and one of the things about a zone, it doesn't matter if it's a good zone or a bad zone, it's tough to rebound out of that zone.
34:50It is.
34:51Because you're always constantly out of position.
34:53So the Bulls are going to run this zone.
34:55They've got to collapse.
34:56As soon as that shot goes up, they've got to turn and go get the ball, put a body on someone.
35:01Javon Carter is on with Giddy, Smith, Terry, and Phillips.
35:05And nice shot by Phillips.
35:06He comes over with the help and knocks it off of Smith and out.
35:09Again, help defense, the closest guy to the ball handler.
35:12Be in possession.
35:13They help right there.
35:14See, boom.
35:15There's been many times I've drawn that up, but the guys are standing there and let that guy drive to the basket.
35:19Good job by Julian Phillips.
35:21This is the second Miami turnover.
35:23Giddy the spin and the sweep through.
35:25Smith tried to save it, but it's out of bounds to Miami.
35:27Bulls with their fifth turnover.
35:29Bulls have got to stay away from having these turnovers.
35:33Especially when they're coming up with these empty possessions, and it's really not being forced.
35:38A lot of possessions given away between turnovers and second chances.
35:45Johnson.
35:47That won't go.
35:48That should be hit.
35:49Push it in the back.
35:50He sure did, and that's a foul.
35:51That's five to ten.
35:52He looked like his nickname's namesake.
35:56Looked like Bam Bam Rubble that time.
35:58There he is right here.
35:59Watch.
36:00Clamping that.
36:01Oh, man.
36:02I don't think.
36:03How'd he thought he was going to get away with that?
36:04One of the two hands in the back.
36:06Dries was one years old when his mom, Marilyn, started calling him Bam Bam because he was watching Flintstones and flipped a coffee table over like Bam Bam Rubble.
36:14There he is.
36:15Terry.
36:16That won't go.
36:17Close to the rim.
36:18It wouldn't fall.
36:19And out of the pack is Johnson.
36:24Keyshawn Johnson cut off by good defense from Smith.
36:27Drew Smith rotates it.
36:29Pella Larson on the attack and a reach and foul.
36:32Swann will go against Phillips.
36:35That will be his second and the second on the Bulls already in the first 96 seconds.
36:45Pella Larson high level collegiate player in Arizona.
36:51Stockholm, Sweden native, another guy that they invested in a loaded Arizona team.
36:58You saw Caleb Love the other night.
37:00He was one of those teammates of Pella Larson on one of those loaded Wildcat crews in the last few years.
37:04Also was in North Carolina.
37:08Yep.
37:09Well, Cyber Week is back.
37:10Great deals starting November 24th through December the 1st.
37:13Get tickets starting at $25.
37:14No fees on the tickets.
37:15More all week long.
37:16So if you know more at Bulls.com slash cyber.
37:21A bio at the free throw line.
37:25Herter and Okoro are back.
37:28Terry and Phillips will both come to the bench.
37:32I'm on a bio just came back with 20 points against Golden State and missed six games dealing with a toe strain.
37:39So could not move.
37:40Could not sprint.
37:41Could not plant.
37:42In the course of those two weeks.
37:43But he's back now.
37:44So they're getting closer and closer to full strength.
37:45He's actually doing pretty good tonight.
37:46Yep.
37:47Nikola Jovic who's turned into a really nice young player.
37:48Another guy that they've invested time into.
37:49He's out for the second straight time.
37:50Gideon and left him free for the baseline runner.
37:51He missed it.
37:52Wasn't missed some close ones.
37:54Shooting an average forty-seven percent.
37:56Miami just forty percent from the field.
37:57Twenty-five from three.
37:58Montecchio typically hot.
37:59Has missed his first field.
38:00Dunk it's him by Johnson.
38:01Nearly went down.
38:02He flings it up there and draws a late whistle for a foul.
38:03Look down for that was a big-time rebound.
38:04Almost put that back.
38:10Well, Koro the foul.
38:15They're about to get their 16th and 17th free throws by crashing the glass.
38:17Well, again, a row of a golf throw in their eighth player,
38:19we played a mismo game first.
38:20Really justesoade by the pasó, not şu was for the last one.
38:28I think they have a game passing a course of their all,
38:32Well again, I mean if they would you know listen this way you have scouts. They saw the Portland game
38:37They saw Portland who's not a very good shooting team just crash the boards and consistently
38:44Get themselves offensively bounce and second chance points
38:47The 20 25 26 city edition, but we'll come back to that because it's a
38:51Timeout classic classic between free throw timeout. Yeah, we'll come back to that
38:56Be right back ladies and gentlemen. We'll finish later
38:58That's how TV is done, baby. That's how you got to make adjustments and we just nation the fly just
39:04Dancing around vamping like it's Broadway
39:08No wonder where J.D. Powers number one in new vehicle quality add a Nissan to your list at the Nissan year-end event
39:15Get 0% APR on select SUVs for well-qualified buyers
39:20The 25 26 city edition uniform presented by Motorola razor is here a remix of the team's first city jersey
39:26This year's version returns with a bold new look
39:30Jerseys and full retail collection are available now at the United Center and on shop.Bulls.com
39:35Learn more at bulls dot com slash city. This is that that was a read right there. That's right. That's already got me
39:41We had to make the adjustments on it. Yes, that was a really got me right there
39:45No rates for Casey Johnson just information on Bulls personnel tonight Casey
39:49What'd you learn over the course of the last couple of days? Yeah, so kobe white we knew we were gonna play in both games of this back
39:54It was probably pretty easy to figure out he wasn't gonna play tonight because he had two days in between that Utah game and Sunday and the
40:02Wednesday game in Poland so there's following that same plan this week two days between the
40:09Against washington still be on a minutes restriction, but obviously kobe has added a lot of offensive pop in his first two games guys
40:1652 points in 58 minutes. He hit eight threes at 15 assists in those first two games back all off the bench
40:24Giddy the rebound
40:26And the pivotal play was the pass that got pushed the wide open three and twitched it through the lane
40:31I mean he really got in there
40:33Got to the middle of the lane the defense collapsed and he made the right play
40:37Set up for that dramatic finish in Portland two nights ago
40:41Neither team has made a bucket in this quarter. It's an eight-point Miami lead its largest
40:47Larson good defense by her that's a nice finish by Pella Larson, man. That's a nice move
40:54Played 55 games as a rookie last year now a real important member of this rotation and as of late the starting lineup
41:00Hasn't yet to score a point in this quarter until now?
41:10Herter hits a much-needed pairs three and he needed that too after being shut out the other night from distance against Portland
41:16Now Smith and a herter end up collapsing on out of bio. It'll be a Smith foul
41:21And you see her and spin trying to communicate well again. I mean the shot went up
41:25Here's a shot right here by her to come up
41:27Bam backs off now BAM is contesting that shot in which you saw the other in the foul as he contested the shot
41:35He ran down there and got a post-up situation again on Kevin Herter the Bulls bigs have to hustle back
41:41You can't leave Kevin Herter down there in a mismatch on BAM out of bio. It's not going to end well for you
41:46Again, you got to be prepared for it Stace and Ruthie talked about it. You've talked about the pace of play
41:51We're expecting teams to hurry the ball down the floor and try to get easy basket opportunities
41:57You can't be surprised by it and you got to remember that was off of make yep
42:00So you got a hustle back there pushing the ball as we're pushing the ball and you got to get back defensively and avoid those matchup problems
42:07When you're going to be a mismatch in the paint and it's a guy like this
42:10Already 19 free-throw attempts by Miami they've made 15 of them out of bios had a great year going to the free-throw line
42:19The Bulls only seven free throws they made all seven of theirs, but they're getting outscored by eight right there at the line
42:25That's about the difference in the game
42:27Here's Herter picked up by out of biota switch
42:29That means it's the smaller Larson the double from out of bio leads further some space and the rebound to BAM
42:35Just saw his stellar basketball playing partner Asia Wilson win MVP in the WNBA again
42:46Wow with the bigger body Vucevic you see the frustration from Vucevic letting Powell get the best of them there
42:52Well second chance points right now 15 to 2
42:55After giving up a season-worst 38 in Portland
42:59There's her trying to get it to Vucevic good fronting job by Keyshawn Johnson did that little circle move that you always talk about when you have a size disadvantage
43:11Well, I miss it. Miami's gonna play defense. They've been they're very good defensive team
43:16They're gonna get out and compete and the Bulls right now
43:20Kind of loose with the basketball. They got five turnovers right now and they're really going
43:24He was seventh in defensive efficiency this year so far. That's a typical for the Miami Heat
43:31Here's a tough drive. They have a Coral Ware came over, but is it a goaltend? It is
43:37Ware actually had a goaltend called against him against New York the other night
43:41That would have tied the game at the end of the game
43:44You see it touched glass and had that ricocheted before Ware made contact
43:48They went back and looked at that play against the Knicks on Monday night
43:51Overturned it that led to the two-point Miami win, so you know where is aggressive right around the rims?
43:5821 blocks coming into tonight for Kahlil Ware
44:02Lob up top for where he does it at both ends of the floor where is the backside help that time nobody in the back side
44:09That was an easy play
44:12Bulls have broken down defensively at times in his first half
44:15Turner's got space for three
44:17Ocoro trying to slip it up and right into those waiting arms of where
44:2211 point Miami lead its largest power looking to extend it he does with a three
44:28That's a 14-point game
44:30He's zealous dribbled it off of his foot got trapped on the deck and a
44:37Kickball is the call which is a break for the Bulls. Otherwise, Miami might be off and running in a fast-break situation
44:44Instead, it'll just be a kick
44:48Miami will have a dead ball takeaway
44:50It is it's a again not making excuses, but you know six games in eight days. It's gonna have this told
45:00But you still to see me though. You gotta play them in there in its own
45:04He's all right now is hurting them because there's a rebound
45:08And they're giving up easy buckets
45:10We're finds the space misses the hook which of it clears it finally
45:13You're supposed to see we're driving on
45:17How the Larson with some help defense there, too?
45:21He lobs it for where Bruce Ellis has such a tough assignment
45:28They are beating the Bulls down the floor and getting significantly easier looks right now, but it's kind of reminds you going back into the play
45:36Where they they took everything away the Bulls wanted to do offensively and then just beat them up
45:41And it's very similar to when we saw it in April
45:45This team is listening
45:46They're gonna play the same way every night. Yep. They're gonna come out. They're gonna compete
45:51Spolshe is gonna drive them to compete. They got a bunch of tough guys on that team that refused to break down the
45:57Spolshe right there
45:59He doesn't even look happy his teams up
46:02In Evanston
46:04Raised in Buffalo and in Oregon now in his 18th season course as a point guard at Portland
46:10In college was hired by Pat Riley as a video coordinator in
46:151995 my first years of video coordinates, right?
46:21No, he was sitting there breaking down tape and giving you guys some of that analytics stuff that you were talking about that Riley got into
46:27Here's Larson for three and everything going down for Miami now
46:31Here's an 18-point lead in a heartbeat, but it feels like
46:43Back it off of a ball
46:45Williams
46:46He fires over Powell, left it short, rebound, Jaquez
46:51With Powell and Mitchell and Larson and Ware
46:53From a fellow UCLA and Norman Powell Tom used to play with seven very deep three my power. I was like almost on the sea of Chicago
47:10Top seven in the NBA and three-point shooting which of it from about the same spot not even close
47:15A brutal second quarter the Bulls have been outscored twenty four to seven in this frame
47:29Giddy trying to light a fire under the group as he comes in with you to bitch away the Williams and Jones
47:36See if they can turn up some of the defensive pressure
47:45He did not have a great second year. He has bounced back hockey as nicely. This is the rotation. Yeah
48:01Remember him at UCLA boy. I mean he was he had a magical run in the tournament
48:06Can handle the ball can shoot it
48:08You know and when Jimmy was here, you know, it was a little hard playing getting minutes with Jimmy there
48:14Now it's kind of freed him up a little bit
48:16And he's a point forward
48:18Back up to double figures in his season averaging 17 a game after he ever just ate the game last year that
48:26lesser role
48:28Three-way
48:30Get out of the room
48:36Knocked away by where he snatched it out of the air here comes Hawkins
48:44Oh
48:46Poor man's wimby out here
48:48Real leg from Kellogg where it's seven feet two hundred and thirty pounds and the Bulls is breaking down in this second quarter
48:55Here's Williams
48:57Trying to get going on Larson and draws a foul
49:00It'll be just the second out of Miami in this second quarter
49:06That's three on Larson now
49:08He gets the steal and then gets the finish
49:16Huge upside
49:19Number 15 pick in last year's draft
49:24Started to come on in the month of January last year and
49:27Has now become a staple in that number five
49:30Center position for Miami
49:32Well, he's a good compliment to BAM
49:34Yeah, you know because BAM is more comfortable facing up and using his quickness to blow by people
49:40He can even though you get post up, but he allows BAM to be more perimeter oriented
49:44And they're very
49:46Interchangeable
49:48High low action with them
49:50Still goes smaller without a bio and that's still a pretty decent size number five
49:56Here's hot gas nice move can't finish Vucevic grabs it see the Bulls have some thrusted over here
50:07Here comes Johnson
50:09All the way that won't go sloppy at that end here comes Giddy
50:14Trying to push the pace a little bit draws a Powell foul
50:18Let's try to get something going in transition Giddy one of the best fast break players in the NBA in the first 20 games or so
50:25Here it is right here where you can't get in the open court if you don't play defense you've got to get stops if you're the Bulls
50:33Powell's first sends Giddy to the line for two you can check out the Chicago lead presented by Wind Creek Chicagoland
50:39Are you ready for your winning moment you put on his table games
50:42You put on his table games
50:44celebrate the Jack Pots at Wind Creek
50:45There's a win waiting for you around every
50:54This is the world's fourth game out of 15 and they travel by 20 or more
51:00And the big comeback you saw in Philly against Philadelphia down 24 still one of the bigger comebacks in the NBA this year
51:06Hawkins gets called for a foul so the Bulls are going to be in the bonus for the rest of this period now both teams are
51:15Well one thing the Bulls have to get over is that mental fatigue you know you know you're tired
51:20So you gotta play game out of five in a seven-day period
51:26One of their tougher stretches of the season after they had some time off before the Utah trip
51:31Nice move by Vucevic
51:32Simple game
51:33There's nothing that they can do with Vucevic
51:36First field goal for Vucevic
51:38Coming off the 27 point night
51:40Point night
51:45Put the moves about Williams but too strong
51:47Vucevic clears
51:48Here's Buzelas
51:50The Miami Heat get back fast in transition
51:55Here's Vucevic
51:56Good slip by Gideon
51:57He scores
51:58You'll see Vuce is a willing passer
52:00Ball goes into the post
52:01He takes two power dribbles to the middle
52:03Double comes
52:04He sees a cutter
52:05Drops it off to Gideon
52:06Simple game
52:07That's the key
52:08Vucevic getting touches of the post
52:09Yep
52:10There it is right here
52:11Smaller Johnson
52:12Sets the table up for the
52:13Marker joined every week by the best guests of the world of sports and entertainment
52:17Catch giving the hot sauce on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. Central
52:20Or watch on demand
52:21In the CHSN app and listen wherever you get your podcasts
52:29The Bulls got a little momentum going now
52:33But it starts on the defensive end with these guys
52:36They got it they got to get some lockdown
52:39You know not let this Miami team get this rhythm that they've had here in the first quarter and a half
52:44We're driving to the basket
52:47Getting layups
52:51Trailed by 25 at one point
52:55We're gonna have to come all the way back again
52:58To do what they've been doing all season
53:01Let's make just about every game a clutch game
53:04Bulls have played ten clutch games
53:05The Heat have played seven
53:08Both have been very sharp
53:09They have eleven combined wins in those spots so far this year
53:12See if the Bulls can make it a game as we've got 2.40 to play in the first half
53:16Go back
53:19There's Hawkins
53:21Finds out of Bayo
53:22That will go
53:23Backside rebound
53:24Nice job by Jones to tap it away from Hawkins
53:28Bulls on the break
53:29Vucevic
53:31Go down low against Johnson
53:33Giddy trying to break down out of Bayo
53:35Tough try at the rim
53:36See the one time Vuce went into the post right there
53:39That ball should weigh in to it
53:41He had a smaller guy
53:43See if they get out of here
53:45Hawkins made it tough on Williams
53:46Good job to save it to Jones who initially started all that with the knock away
53:49One of the best steel men in the NBA
53:52Jones averaging two a game
53:53That's top five in the league
53:56Good cut by Giddy
53:57Good pass by Vucevic
53:58It's a goaltend
53:59It's a simple game
54:00Ball goes into the post
54:01Vuce has a mismatch on Johnson
54:03Who's much bigger than
54:05Then all of a sudden Giddy on the off side
54:06Look at the weak side
54:07Makes a hard basket cut
54:08This is the reason why the Vuce has had success in games they won
54:12Movement without the ball
54:14Seven straight for the Bulls
54:20Hawl watched by Vuce Ellis
54:22Which fits with the hedge
54:23Giddy picks up on a bio
54:24Bounce underneath
54:25And a steal
54:27I don't want to get back to the hands
54:29Trey Jones doing what he's done well all year
54:31Buzellis all the way
54:33It's flying to the rim
54:35And it starts with the defense
54:38Well it took a little while
54:39But Buzellis has his first bucket
54:41He's got four points
54:42So the Bulls with a little burst here
54:45Mitchell lacrosse
54:46And he puts it into that 9-0 Bulls run
54:48That's tough that 9-0 run right there
54:53Israel Gutierrez is down in Miami
54:55He'll appreciate 70 seconds left in this half
54:58Here is Buzellis with the left hand
55:01That's impressive
55:02That's a nice move
55:03Going to his left
55:04And be able to finish
55:05With his left
55:10It's been a strength for him in the early part of the year
55:12Here's Hawkins against Giddy
55:14Slicing through
55:15Dunking underneath for two
55:16That's a power move right there
55:196-6-2-30
55:20If he's ever been at 2-30
55:25There's Giddy
55:27Shovel
55:31Chopped it in
55:32Chopped it in
55:33It's down to 16 now
55:3425-point deficit
55:41Not what it used to be
55:42Doesn't mean it's
55:43Something you want to have to do
55:44What Billy Donovan said the other night
55:46This is not sustainable
55:48Powell draws a reach in on Williams
55:52A tough foul against Patrick
55:53His third of the night
55:55And shots coming for Norman Powell
55:56Conceded to be fouled
56:03That's a tough one against Williams
56:06It almost like he didn't touch him
56:07Let's see him here
56:09A better look here
56:11Maybe there's some contact on the right side
56:13It was hard to tell there
56:15First look it didn't look like he made contact with him
56:20That sends Powell to the free throw line
56:21Where he's already got 14 points tonight
56:23He's right here
56:30About did a good job of selling it
56:34Definitely made contact
56:35I've seen that not get called
56:37But yet Norman Powell has earned the respect
56:41This has been a really good cheer stretch
56:43I think people are like
56:44Oh wow give Norman Powell the chance
56:46Score some points for you
56:47He did that last year to the 2-22 a game
56:50Like all right well let's see how he does now
56:51Well he's doing just fine
56:54And Adam this is what happens when you get playing time
56:56And teams believe in you
56:57Give you an opportunity
56:59He's just taking advantage of the opportunity he's given
57:01And showing he's a very good player
57:04And he's Vucevic
57:06Five seconds back to get him
57:07Blocked on a bounce by Johnson
57:09Johnson has been very active tonight
57:11Sure has
57:12He's showing you some good athleticism
57:131.4 lap Vucevic gets unlooked to beat the buzzer
57:14And this one falls short
57:16And the Bulls end up going just 4 of 16 from 3 point range after they made 40 threes in the last two games of that West Coast swing against Denver and Portland Vucevic just kicked the table as he came over out of frustration and might be a lawsuit my knee got hurt right there I might be suing over here I want a hundred and
57:20Fifty thousand fifty thousand dollars
57:22I'll sell them
57:23Management asset management in a time of disruptive change
