00:00:002K Sports welcomes you to the following presentation
00:00:29of the NBA.
00:00:37Traffic making its way across the Bay Bridge
00:00:39between San Francisco and Oakland, California.
00:00:45Welcome, everyone.
00:00:47Thanks for tuning in to 2K Sports.
00:00:49We've got some NBA action for you coming up.
00:00:52Hi, everyone.
00:00:53This is Kevin Harlan with Chris Weber and Greg Anthony,
00:00:56our sideline reporter, David Aldridge.
00:00:58Hey, Dave.
00:01:00Well, guys, Clay Thompson is capable of being
00:01:02a prototypical go-to guy,
00:01:05and his role in Golden State is more restrained.
00:01:08Clay said, I don't care.
00:01:10I get paid handsomely in a great place,
00:01:13and we compete for championships year in and year out.
00:01:16From day one, I've been a warrior.
00:01:18I'm just thankful to be here.
00:01:20Kevin, he likes to play ball and play with his dogs.
00:01:23And that's it.
00:01:24He loves playing there, D.A., and they love him.
00:01:28Thank you so much.
00:01:29So, let's take a look at the starters for the Dallas Mavericks.
00:01:33We've got Jalen Brunson.
00:01:35He's out there with Hardaway.
00:01:36Chris Depp's Brzezidis is out there with Donchich.
00:01:39And it's Finney Smith in at the four.
00:01:41And for the Warriors,
00:01:43Green and Cauley Stein are down low.
00:01:45Curry and Russell are the backcourt set.
00:01:47And it's Thompson in at the small forward position.
00:01:50Big conference rivalry tonight, Chris.
00:01:53Think back to some of your legendary bouts
00:01:55between, say, your Sacramento team and the L.A. Lakers.
00:01:59Oh, man, my ears are ringing right now.
00:02:00I got the cowbells ringing in my ears
00:02:04just from you saying that.
00:02:05Pretty exciting, wasn't it?
00:02:07Yeah, oh, man, it was awesome.
00:02:08But it's not just another game.
00:02:10Your pride is involved in it.
00:02:12It's about your standees in the conference.
00:02:14And also, it's about fan bragging rights.
00:02:16So, for us, you know, it was like the Battle of California.
00:02:19We wanted people in Sacramento
00:02:20to be able to walk around in L.A.
00:02:21and say, hey, we're the best right now.
00:02:35Curry on the wing.
00:02:37Runs and covering.
00:02:38It's Curry with the drive.
00:02:40That one goes.
00:02:41It's counted.
00:02:42Look, knowing defenders are going to try to be physical,
00:02:45Curry still attacks on the next drive.
00:02:49Conjage outside.
00:02:59Takes the 13-footer.
00:03:01And that one hits back iron.
00:03:03Now the Warriors moving it up.
00:03:06Russell with a wide-open look.
00:03:08Good, and it's Green picking up the assist.
00:03:10Now, when you have a four-man with this kind of vision
00:03:13and the unselfishness to go with it,
00:03:16unreal advantage.
00:03:18Draymond Green getting it done.
00:03:20Hardaway for three.
00:03:22The Warriors pull it in.
00:03:26Thompson passes to Green.
00:03:28And Green slaps it in.
00:03:31Love the vision from Thompson.
00:03:32I mean, when you've been surrounded by superstars,
00:03:35you learn to keep your eyes up.
00:03:37Guys, they're looking for a way to score here.
00:03:39Yeah, they've had a tough time taking the lid off.
00:03:45Pass to Brunson.
00:03:49Down to five on the shot clock.
00:03:52Here's Doncic.
00:03:53Again, the miss by the Mavericks.
00:03:56Not sure what the D was doing there.
00:03:58Clearly a breakdown.
00:04:00You can ill afford to give a guy like him that good a look.
00:04:04And creating a little separation here.
00:04:07Gaining some confidence.
00:04:09Yeah, it feels like they're just one step ahead right now.
00:04:11Looking to build out their advantage even further.
00:04:14And so here is Dallas.
00:04:16The Warriors making the shot.
00:04:21And here's Brunson.
00:04:22Dallas needs to get off a shot.
00:04:25A three from Porzingis.
00:04:27His first shot is a miss.
00:04:290 for 1 to start the contest.
00:04:31Not how you want to start the game.
00:04:33Four straight misses.
00:04:34I'd like to see some better ball movement from them.
00:04:38Excellent all-around performance so far.
00:04:41Hence, the big lead.
00:04:42Yeah, Greg.
00:04:43They've come out of the gate strong at both ends of the floor.
00:04:46Just in total control so far.
00:04:48And Dallas calls their first time out of the game.
00:04:51Well, whether you love him or hate him, you can't deny that Draymond Green is one of the more unique players in the league.
00:04:57There really isn't anyone else like Draymond.
00:05:00I mean, who does everything for a team but score.
00:05:04I mean, not only can he play all positions on both ends of the floor, but also to be the emotional leader.
00:05:10Truly a special player.
00:05:33The Mavericks have gone 0-4, missing their first four field goals here.
00:05:56Outside Hardaway.
00:06:00Thompson against Donchich.
00:06:03To end the run.
00:06:06That's in for the first basket of the game after three attempts.
00:06:09And boy, did they need that one.
00:06:11Their first make in the five field goal attempts they've had.
00:06:16Here's Curry.
00:06:18And foul on the shot.
00:06:19He'll shoot two at the free throw line.
00:06:24Well, everyone has already agreed that Curry is a generational talent.
00:06:28And one of the greatest shooters of all time.
00:06:31I mean, at this point, he is just climbing up the all-time list in NBA history.
00:06:36I mean, it's a robust resume.
00:06:38That's good from Stephen Curry.
00:06:56And with Curry, the titles, the unanimous MVPs.
00:07:00Chris, it's hard to argue he's not one of the best ever.
00:07:03Yeah, yeah, Kevin.
00:07:04What stands out to me is just how much he's changed the game.
00:07:07I mean, when you alter how teams approach the game and how kids practice at home, he's made the three just as big as the dunk.
00:07:17Stephen Curry hits them both.
00:07:18Well, his free throw shooting is something they never need to worry about.
00:07:23He doesn't even know how to go through a cold streak.
00:07:29Conjage outside.
00:07:30Shoots over Curry.
00:07:37Will not go.
00:07:38This is off the front iron.
00:07:40Still plenty of time for him to contribute in this game, but it's a tough stretch he's going through.
00:07:46His shot is good, making him a perfect two-for-two from the floor.
00:07:50Defensively, giving up far too many open rhythm looks.
00:07:56Conjage passes to Hardaway.
00:07:57Out to Donjage.
00:08:09Good D by Johnson.
00:08:11Nothing less than that kind of defense will cut it against him.
00:08:14That's just great work inside.
00:08:16And it's cream with the jam.
00:08:18I like their focus coming in.
00:08:20Terrific execution so far.
00:08:23Going for the juggler right off the bat.
00:08:25I mean, jumping out to an impressive early lead.
00:08:29Now, here's Brunson.
00:08:30Nothing yet on the scoreboard for him.
00:08:32Pass to Finney-Smith.
00:08:35The dish to Hardaway.
00:08:40Over to the wing.
00:08:42A three from Porzingis.
00:08:44Doesn't get it to drop for him.
00:08:46So, Golden State will take it the other way.
00:08:48To the inside.
00:08:50Russell.
00:08:51That's in.
00:08:51Coming off the assist from Thompson.
00:08:54Russell's got five points so far.
00:08:56Those defenders just look a little bit gassed.
00:08:59I mean, they're getting pushed around on that low block.
00:09:02Donchick against Thompson.
00:09:09They need this.
00:09:11Thompson with the rebound.
00:09:13It's been a really tough quarter for him.
00:09:15I mean, he cannot get his shots to drop.
00:09:18And it's Russell missing.
00:09:20Average trail by 17.
00:09:25Hardaway kicks to Donchick.
00:09:26There's the pass to Hardaway.
00:09:34Donchick outside.
00:09:38This is it to Porzingis.
00:09:41From Keith.
00:09:42Three-point range.
00:09:43And it's Russell with the rebound.
00:09:45And it's Russell with the ball.
00:09:47He'll bring it up for the Warriors.
00:09:50And Curry the bucket on the assist by Russell.
00:09:53Eight points for Steph Curry.
00:09:54Really seizing the momentum of this game.
00:09:57But doing it with a methodical approach.
00:10:00Yeah, you're right, Greg.
00:10:01They decided to pound the ball inside.
00:10:04Using their physicality to set the tone.
00:10:06Dallas calls timeout.
00:10:08And D'Angelo Russell was expected to be targeted this past summer.
00:10:14Ends up as a sign-and-trade to the Warriors.
00:10:16Who's going to leave Brooklyn after the Durant signing no matter what.
00:10:21Should be an interesting fit.
00:10:24Until then...
00:10:25Take a deep crochet.
00:10:25Bye-bye.
00:10:27Who's going to love this?
00:10:31We'll try to wait.
00:10:32You're right.
00:10:38Bye-bye.
00:10:40Bye-bye.
00:10:42Bye-bye.
00:10:42Bye-bye.
00:10:45Bye-bye.
00:10:46Bye-bye.
00:10:46Bye-bye.
00:10:50Bye-bye.
00:10:51Runs in the pass to Doncic.
00:11:18Dallas moving the ball around.
00:11:21Get there! Get there!
00:11:23Porzingis against Green.
00:11:25Trying to end the drought.
00:11:27The offensive rebound.
00:11:28And the shot goes in from Chris Dapp's Porzingis.
00:11:32And after missing four straight, he finally gets one to go.
00:11:39Outside Curry.
00:11:40Outside Russell.
00:11:42To the middle.
00:11:43Here's Colley Stein.
00:11:45And he makes the bucket.
00:11:46Gets the whistle.
00:11:48And now a three-point play chance here for him.
00:11:50I don't know what's happening defensively, but they're not putting up any resistance.
00:11:56Since taking over the starting role in 2018, Willie Colley Stein has lived up to his draft spot of being number six, Greg, overall in 2015.
00:12:04And you knew that a big man like Colley Stein would take a few years to develop.
00:12:10But at a legit seven feet and great length, he is everything you could hope for in a starting center.
00:12:16Three-throw, no good for Colley Stein.
00:12:33Yeah, well, Willie Colley Stein, I mean, last season was his best by far.
00:12:38He was showing the effort and finishing that made him such a high pick in 2015.
00:12:43Warriors on D.
00:12:51Morzingas finds Donchich.
00:12:56Pass to Finney-Smith.
00:13:00Five on the clock.
00:13:02Here's Brunson.
00:13:03Sinks the triple.
00:13:04And for Colley Stein, the improvement, Chris, was across the board.
00:13:10Yeah, he was playing about the same amount as the year before, but it was just more impactful.
00:13:15I mean, he's much more tenacious on the glass, finishing better at the rim.
00:13:19Everything you wanted to see from him.
00:13:22No problem knocking that one down.
00:13:2411 points for Steph Curry.
00:13:26Some players might wear down during this kind of work.
00:13:29We don't want to be sure.
00:13:30Donchich passes to Persingas.
00:13:33Back to Donchich.
00:13:35Plays it up and banks it in.
00:13:37With that now, only two of seven to start the game.
00:13:41Not the start he was hoping for.
00:13:44Pass to Colley Stein.
00:13:46Green left side.
00:13:47He makes another one.
00:13:49That's four up and four in to start his game.
00:13:53You gotta love the decision-making from Willie Colley Stein.
00:13:56I mean, aware he must keep improving as a pass.
00:14:01And Donchich.
00:14:03Here we go.
00:14:07Here's Finney-Smith.
00:14:09No points in the game yet for him.
00:14:11Persingas trying to get free.
00:14:13And the dunk by Donchich.
00:14:14And when you want Donchich, he's one of those guys who kind of just slithers around until he finds an opening.
00:14:22And then, bam!
00:14:23And that one's good.
00:14:24Russell.
00:14:25Assists like that have typified their effort today.
00:14:29Terrific ball move.
00:14:34Now, here's Brunson.
00:14:36Guarded by Curry.
00:14:40Right side Hardaway.
00:14:42And there's the pass to Finney-Smith.
00:14:45Here's Brunson.
00:14:48Offensive rebound Mavericks.
00:14:50And the rejection by Colley Stein.
00:14:52Capable of being a defensive anchor.
00:14:55Keefer Colley Stein is positioning himself to swat shots.
00:15:02Donchich against Russell.
00:15:05And he's going up for the alley-oop.
00:15:07Yeah, nice, silky finish on the alley-oop from the stupendous feed.
00:15:12That sequence couldn't have been executed any better.
00:15:16Donchich kicks to Hardaway.
00:15:18To the paint.
00:15:19And it's Brzingis that time on the assist from Hardaway.
00:15:23And they've done well at taking advantage of some late defensive rotations and getting the ball in the paint.
00:15:30Colley Stein passes to Curry.
00:15:32Green inside the three-point line.
00:15:36And the Warriors tack on two more.
00:15:38Yeah, the chemistry has been terrific.
00:15:40Really impressed with their offensive execution.
00:15:43Brunson scanning the floor.
00:15:54Count the bucket.
00:15:55And he's got a free throw coming up as well.
00:15:57And they're beginning to just flat-out fall apart defensively right now.
00:16:02Especially on the interior.
00:16:04And he'll be shooting his first free throw of the game here.
00:16:07And he hit 72% of his foul shots a season ago.
00:16:10But I'm not sure he's real thrilled with those numbers.
00:16:13Looking at who's out there now for the Warriors.
00:16:16Kevon Looney is checked in for Colley Stein.
00:16:18And Robinson III comes in for Thompson.
00:16:21And it's Berkson for Steph Curry.
00:16:22Some players are what we call quiet scorers, Chris.
00:16:40They put up a lot of points.
00:16:42But you don't realize until the end of the game just how effective and what kind of points they put up.
00:16:47Oh, yeah.
00:16:48Especially when you look at two-way players like Paul George or Kawhi Leonard.
00:16:52Or how about a Bradley Beal out there in Washington?
00:16:55You look up at the scoreboard and be like, wait, how did he get 30?
00:16:57And don't forget about the running mate with Damian Lillard up there in Portland.
00:17:02Because he's a bad man as well.
00:17:05Teams rebounding is a great measure of its energy.
00:17:08And theirs has been terrific here in the first quarter.
00:17:12That's just great touch.
00:17:14The teardrop, well, that's all about fear.
00:17:17Here is Russell, the Mavericks making the shot.
00:17:20Looney kicks to Russell.
00:17:28Berks with it.
00:17:32Powell pulls it in.
00:17:33He's not going to miss that shot twice in a row.
00:17:36Trust me.
00:17:37Stolen by Robinson.
00:17:39It's three on three on the fast break.
00:17:41The Warriors have shot two of three from the free throw line tonight.
00:17:52And they had a lot of success a season ago as a team, hitting about 80% of their free throws.
00:17:57And that one goes for Robinson.
00:18:13Well, last year, Kevin, the Warriors didn't dominate the regular season with their roster of stars.
00:18:18They still finished the top of the Western Conference, but were just third best overall.
00:18:22And the Warriors making a change here.
00:18:24McKinney's checked in.
00:18:26Seth Curry, he's checked in for Dallas.
00:18:30Robinson hits them both.
00:18:34Mavericks trailed by 18.
00:18:37Wright, the pass to Kleba.
00:18:43We've got 148 left in the first quarter of the game.
00:18:47Wright outside.
00:18:48Just five to shoot.
00:18:55From downtown.
00:18:57But they get it back.
00:19:00Here's Powell.
00:19:01One up, one down.
00:19:02Two points with his first shot this game.
00:19:05And already, they've staked out a noticeable advantage in terms of aggression and controlling the backboard.
00:19:12And the Warriors last year, Chris, they seemingly cruised through the regular season.
00:19:17Yeah, Kevin, but we're a team that goes to the finals five straight times.
00:19:20I think that's natural.
00:19:22Now, the Warriors show, though, that they know when to kick it into gear.
00:19:25But unfortunately, it wasn't enough against the Raptors.
00:19:28Now, this is how I call it.
00:19:30Seven.
00:19:34That's his first.
00:19:35This is a lot of effort.
00:19:37The Warriors have only one missed free throw.
00:19:39They've had five attempts and made four of them.
00:19:43We have another time.
00:19:44Three throw good.
00:20:03Burks.
00:20:03And Burks hits two free throws.
00:20:25And they've clearly been the aggressors here early on, drawing fouls and working themselves to the line.
00:20:31Curry, attacking, lays it up off the glass.
00:20:37I like that pick play.
00:20:39I mean, you can see how easily it makes it for him to get to the cup.
00:20:46Russell against right.
00:20:48What's up a three?
00:20:50And it's Russell missing.
00:20:52Mavericks trail by 16.
00:20:53Curry is inside.
00:20:59Russell's there.
00:21:00And it's sent back by Russell.
00:21:02That's out of bounds.
00:21:03The Mavericks able to retain possession here.
00:21:05We've got 33 seconds left to play here in the first.
00:21:24And right with the basket on the assist by Donchich.
00:21:26And how about the vision there from Donchich can make the easy pass and also the difficult.
00:21:37Donchich against Robinson.
00:21:39He kicks it to Burks.
00:21:41And the Warriors miss again.
00:21:47Right outside.
00:21:49Passes it to Donchich.
00:21:50Sweet little floater.
00:21:56Donchich has got eight points.
00:21:58And certainly not lacking in confidence.
00:22:01When Donchich gets these inside looks, he just jumps all over.
00:22:05And so it's the Golden State Warriors.
00:22:07Enjoying a 12-point lead as they talk things over during the break.
00:22:11What a night they've had in terms of their shooting.
00:22:13Everything dropping in for them.
00:22:15We'll return shortly.
00:22:17We'll return shortly.
00:22:20All the great Golden State Warriors scorers.
00:22:43Draymond Green spoke about feeding the hot hand.
00:22:46I think there are times where one of the guys needs to take more shots.
00:22:52And sometimes where we can be a little bit too unselfish.
00:22:55You know, if one guy thinks, hey, man, I'm taking too many shots.
00:22:58Let me get someone else involved.
00:23:00But if you got it going, we all want you to shoot.
00:23:03Why not?
00:23:04Green knows that, Greg, if you're in the zone, keep firing.
00:23:07And with his unselfishness and vision, Green more often than not is the one setting the table.
00:23:16And so far through one quarter, it's been a lopsided game.
00:23:20We'll see if that changes here in a second.
00:23:22And for the Warriors, this has been the game they wanted to have.
00:23:25Impressive start.
00:23:27They came in with a well-conceived game plan and have executed.
00:23:30But, yeah, this is their preferred pace.
00:23:32And it's gotten them out to an early lead.
00:23:35They've got Robinson.
00:23:37Russell is out there with Alec Burks.
00:23:39And it's McKinney in at the power forward.
00:23:41So that's the group out there for Golden State.
00:23:43But the creation of the super teams, Chris, is enough being done to ensure a competitive balance in the NBN.
00:23:50I think so.
00:23:51I think that every year we're going to have to evolve in trying to do enough and see what happened the previous year.
00:23:58But, yeah, and the fact remains, though, Kevin, is, you know, I like working with you.
00:24:02You're my friend.
00:24:03I would go work with you.
00:24:04And in basketball, you want to go play with your friends.
00:24:06Same stuff, yeah.
00:24:07So how do you stop that?
00:24:08I don't know.
00:24:09When guys get to hang out in the summer and say, wouldn't it be cool if we got to play together, our kids would play together, and we could win one?
00:24:15That's going to be hard to deter.
00:24:17So I just think it's about how strong the will of the friends are.
00:24:20And more importantly, what is the league doing to kind of not necessarily give as much incentive to do that?
00:24:26But I think the league is doing a great job staying proactive, giving guys a lot of incentive, a lot of reason, a lot of dinero to stay at home with the team.
00:24:34That one falls, so he hits both of them.
00:24:53And so it's right, bringing up the ball for Dallas.
00:24:57A trail by 14.
00:25:00Burks with the steal.
00:25:01And there's the side dunk to finish it off.
00:25:05Well, if you don't take care of the ball, fellas, that's what can happen.
00:25:10Absolutely great.
00:25:11That makes the turnover even more painful.
00:25:14You're going defense to offense in an instant.
00:25:17Every team now calibrated to do that.
00:25:19Let's go now to the sideline and catch up with David Aldridge.
00:25:23Well, Kevin, the Warriors may have some injuries that they're going to deal with this season,
00:25:27but they're going to do it in a dynamic new building.
00:25:31Chase Center in San Francisco.
00:25:34The more than $1 billion, that's with a B, dollar arena is hopefully going to generate revenue for the team off the floor
00:25:42and allow them to keep some great players in uniform on the floor.
00:25:46It's going to be state of the art here in Golden State as the team moves from Oakland
00:25:51after spending more than four decades playing at Oracle Arena.
00:25:54The A's, you and I were talking, they hate to leave where they've been so successful in Oakland,
00:26:00but this building, this building is amazing.
00:26:03Six to shoot.
00:26:05Curry can't get it to go.
00:26:07Turns an easy jump shot into a tough one by going to the fadeaway.
00:26:11I mean, look what happened.
00:26:12Robinson down low.
00:26:17Guarded by Doncic.
00:26:21And stolen by Wright.
00:26:23And now, here comes Wright, leading the break.
00:26:26Drops in the breakaway layup.
00:26:28Every team looking to get easy ones in transition.
00:26:32Greg, that's about as high a percentage of look as you're going to get running the floor beautifully.
00:26:37Robinson against Doncic.
00:26:43Robinson kicks to Russell.
00:26:45Maries it from three-point range.
00:26:47Russell's got ten points.
00:26:49Hitting three-pointers, so important in today's NBA.
00:26:53Good thing Russell's got the range and confidence to do so.
00:26:59Pass to Doncic from past the arc.
00:27:01Good for his sixth make in a dozen attempts, shooting 50% with that basket.
00:27:05So, the real, come at us, and we're coming right back at you.
00:27:11Talk about the great competition going on.
00:27:14That's what makes a matchup like this so much fun to watch.
00:27:17Back to Russell.
00:27:22Six on the shot clock.
00:27:25Powell pulls it in.
00:27:28Powell's got his fifth rebound in this one.
00:27:33Wright outside.
00:27:34Wright outside Curry.
00:27:43The Warriors pull it in.
00:27:46Their biggest lead of the game was 21.
00:27:49And Robinson wide open.
00:27:51He shoots.
00:27:51Good, and the assist goes to Russell.
00:27:53He's got five.
00:27:54And they're right around 50% for the game on their threes,
00:27:58and they've only gotten better as the game's gone on.
00:28:02Doncic dishes to Wright.
00:28:12And that'll be two free throws coming up.
00:28:14Officials on the call with the foul.
00:28:15It's going to go on Alec Burks.
00:28:19And you don't ever want to get into the habit of letting the offense get to the rim.
00:28:23And in his fifth year out of Utah, DeLon Wright.
00:28:26Six foot five.
00:28:27Great size, Chris, for the point guard position.
00:28:30Oh, yeah, Kevin.
00:28:30And I like his game.
00:28:32Now, check it out.
00:28:33He's a solid defender.
00:28:34He can rebound the ball.
00:28:35He takes care of the ball.
00:28:37And you can win with guys like that.
00:28:50First one falls for him.
00:28:52And some changes here for the Warriors.
00:28:54Cauley Stein, he's checked in for Robinson.
00:28:56Klay Thompson comes in for Burks.
00:28:58And it's Stephen Curry in for D'Angelo Russell.
00:29:01And then for Dallas.
00:29:02For Zinkas, he's checked in for Maxi Kleba.
00:29:04Tim Hardaway Jr. comes in for Luka Doncic.
00:29:07And Barea subbed in for Seth Curry.
00:29:15And so Wright nails both of them.
00:29:18Hey, Chris, this year, pioneer Chuck Cooper.
00:29:20Inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
00:29:23Long overdue, wouldn't you say?
00:29:24Oh, yeah, definitely.
00:29:26I mean, he was the first African-American player ever to be drafted.
00:29:29I mean, let's just think about that.
00:29:31Jackie Robinson in basketball.
00:29:33He paved the way.
00:29:34And what he endured, and his teammates, by the way, of all colors, is well documented.
00:29:40And I think the Celtics need to, and I think they will retire his number 11 and have it hang up in that Fame Raptors up there.
00:29:47It's over there.
00:29:48I agree.
00:29:51Pass to Persingas.
00:29:55The shot drops.
00:29:56His shooting percentage improves.
00:29:57He's three for seven now with that basket.
00:30:00Oh, don't forget about this fella for a second.
00:30:03He is the definition of majors.
00:30:09Barea against Curry.
00:30:12And he's fouled pretty hard on that shot, but he's got the chance to pick up the points at the line.
00:30:17It's on Persingas.
00:30:19Oh, Steph turns it up despite his slight frame.
00:30:22Steph takes it up strong inside.
00:30:24But he'll get some free throws.
00:30:26And with all the numbers that Curry puts up, all the records, Chris, that he owns, crazy to think that he's often sitting in the fourth quarter due to the score.
00:30:35Yeah.
00:30:35It is crazy, Kevin.
00:30:38I mean, you picked Curry's MVP season, and even then he wasn't playing huge minutes.
00:30:42That is a testament to just how incredible he is.
00:30:45Curry finds ways to end games even before it reaches the fourth.
00:30:51The first free throw is good.
00:30:52And they have yet to miss a shot from the line here this quarter.
00:30:57And the Warriors making a change here.
00:30:59Green's checked in.
00:31:00Green's checked in.
00:31:00Green's checked in.
00:31:02And both free throws good for Curry.
00:31:15It's a good sign when Curry's at the line.
00:31:18That means he's pushing the action, being aggressive, putting the referees in a tough position to make some tough calls.
00:31:24Borea kicks to Hardaway.
00:31:30Over Green.
00:31:33Hardaway, no good.
00:31:34And that's the battle they haven't been winning today.
00:31:37Their work on the glass has been porous, and that's got to change.
00:31:42Powell with the steal.
00:31:46Wright looking around.
00:31:49The pass to Powell.
00:31:53Green, Kevin.
00:31:54Curry against Borea.
00:31:56Back to Powell.
00:31:57Some nice passing here by Dallas.
00:32:00Shot clock at six.
00:32:04Here's Hardaway.
00:32:06Great tee that time from Green.
00:32:08And he thought he had a clear path to the hoop, but the defense did give up on that play and cut him off.
00:32:15Thompson passes to Curry.
00:32:18And a miss there on the triple.
00:32:20He hasn't been able to do much damage outside the three-point line.
00:32:23Just one triple for him in the game.
00:32:25And that was back in the first quarter.
00:32:26Porzingis finds Borea.
00:32:31Powell against Green.
00:32:33Now, Wright.
00:32:38Six points for him.
00:32:40The three from Porzingis.
00:32:42And the rebound goes to the Warriors.
00:32:45Green's got four rebounds in this game.
00:32:48Looking for Carly Stein.
00:32:49He gets it there.
00:32:50A bye to stop the alley-oop.
00:32:52Give credit to the arms of Carly Stein.
00:32:55They go on forever, which makes him the ultimate alley-oop finish.
00:33:01Here's Borea.
00:33:03No good on that one.
00:33:04Great tee that time from Curry.
00:33:06Outside, Green.
00:33:15Wright against Thompson.
00:33:17Over Wright.
00:33:19That one off the back iron and out.
00:33:22Mavericks trail by 17.
00:33:24They've been struggling here on offense.
00:33:26Yeah, a bit of a dry spell for sure.
00:33:28Oh, look at that.
00:33:29You see, that shows what kind of athlete Curry is.
00:33:32His quickness to the ball.
00:33:33Get that shot out of here.
00:33:36Dallas has gone one or two on three-pointers here in the second quarter so far.
00:33:40Here's Hardaway.
00:33:41And then Hardaway with the dunk.
00:33:43Yeah, he just punched the ticket on that one.
00:33:45That'll get the job done.
00:33:46Powerful two-hand jam.
00:33:52Curry looking around.
00:33:54For three.
00:33:55Traps in the tray.
00:33:57Curry's got 18 points.
00:33:59This shooting has been outstanding.
00:34:02Definitely one of the reasons they're up in this game.
00:34:06Now, here's Barea.
00:34:10He's guarded close.
00:34:11Can't hit from in close.
00:34:13Warriors leading by 18.
00:34:18Shots good by McKinney.
00:34:20Big miscommunication on defense.
00:34:23He recognizes it and quickly takes advantage.
00:34:26Yeah, they're pouring it on right here.
00:34:30Trying to give the opposition no light at the end of the tunnel.
00:34:36Outside Hardaway.
00:34:38Outside.
00:34:39Brzingis.
00:34:41Wants to get it to Barea and does.
00:34:46Curry with the defensive effort.
00:34:48It's time for him to start looking for other options.
00:34:51They can't let him keep shooting.
00:34:52His touch is gone.
00:34:53And Cawley Stein's shot is good.
00:34:56You got to do more than that to slow Cawley Stein down.
00:34:58I mean, he's used to absorbing contact while shooting.
00:35:02Barea, the pass to Powell.
00:35:05Over Green.
00:35:08Again, the miss by the Mavericks.
00:35:10And here's Green.
00:35:11He'll bring it up for the Warriors.
00:35:12Topson inside.
00:35:17Right on him.
00:35:18Here's McKinney.
00:35:20And it's off from three-point range.
00:35:23Dallas shooting.
00:35:24Not great.
00:35:2440% for the game.
00:35:28Bounce pass from right.
00:35:30The wide open look here for Perzingis.
00:35:32Plenty of room to knock down the shot.
00:35:34Eight points for him.
00:35:36Warriors leading by 20.
00:35:37Now, here's Curry.
00:35:4318 points for him.
00:35:46Thompson passes to Green.
00:35:49Shoots over Barea.
00:35:51And the Warriors tack on two more.
00:35:53From second-round pick to NBA champion.
00:35:55You know, it didn't take long for Draymond to establish himself as one of the league's best.
00:35:59Barea against Curry.
00:36:05A nice shot by Barea.
00:36:07I mean, you can see the D.
00:36:09Just a little slow getting to the bucket.
00:36:11I mean, he'll make you pay for that.
00:36:15Here's Thompson.
00:36:16It's good.
00:36:17It's his second basket.
00:36:18He's shooting two for four.
00:36:20That's nice.
00:36:21He has a controlled handle.
00:36:22And that gives Thompson all the separation he needs.
00:36:26Passes to Perzingis.
00:36:27And here's Barea.
00:36:33Pass to Powell.
00:36:37Here's Wright.
00:36:43Top of the key.
00:36:45He's off on that one.
00:36:46So Golden State will take it the other way.
00:36:49Here's McKinney.
00:36:51And he chams it with authority.
00:36:53And if you're Curry's teammate, this is what you have to do.
00:36:55You take advantage of the defender reacting to him.
00:36:58I mean, he'll find you if you're open.
00:37:03Wright with it.
00:37:05He's got six.
00:37:06Barea with a wide open look.
00:37:08Here's Powell.
00:37:09And terrific work on the offensive glass.
00:37:11And he picks up two.
00:37:13Toughness and energy on the boards.
00:37:15An easy putback to show for.
00:37:19Powell with the steal.
00:37:20Knocked loose.
00:37:26Here's Perzingis.
00:37:27And contact on the shot.
00:37:29So he'll be shooting free throws here.
00:37:33Well, so much of the last few seasons have been lost time for Christoph Porzingis.
00:37:38That ACL injury and then working back from it in the 2019 campaign.
00:37:44Never an easy road to start him.
00:37:47And the first one at the line is good.
00:38:08Greg, with all the time that Perzingis has missed,
00:38:11it's easy to forget just how dominant he is when he's healthy.
00:38:15KP is one of the few game-changing talents in our league.
00:38:20He can carry an offense and boost an entire team's defense with his presence on the floor.
00:38:29And both free throws.
00:38:31Good for Porzingis.
00:38:32Yeah, in this quarter, they've had the right approach.
00:38:35Driving and drawing.
00:38:37Initiating contact.
00:38:38Create opportunities.
00:38:39Get to the line.
00:38:40And the shot is good.
00:38:4220 points for Steph Curry.
00:38:43And that's one way to extend the lead.
00:38:47Continue to light it up from long range.
00:38:49They have all the confidence in the world right now from the three-point line.
00:38:53Perzingis kicks to Curry.
00:39:00Back to Perzingis.
00:39:01Five to shoot.
00:39:02Good.
00:39:03And Curry gets the assist.
00:39:04That's 12 points for Perzingis.
00:39:07That's the perfect setup.
00:39:08Solid screen.
00:39:09Defender can't avoid.
00:39:10And it opens up a clear path to the bucket.
00:39:13Pass to Looney.
00:39:14Golden State moving it around.
00:39:17Curry with him.
00:39:19The Mavericks pull it in.
00:39:22Perzingis has got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight.
00:39:28Now Brunson.
00:39:30Eight points for him.
00:39:31Now the pass to Perzingis.
00:39:38Back to Brunson.
00:39:42A three-ball.
00:39:44Cranes it from beyond the arc.
00:39:46Brunson's got 11 points.
00:39:49It's been all about Stephen Curry for the Golden State Warriors.
00:39:52His production has been flowing as he's tallied 20 points and looks to be planning for more.
00:39:59And now we'll send it over to David Aldridge who is standing by courtside.
00:40:02David.
00:40:06Thanks very much.
00:40:07Draymond, of course, not unusual to see you going up against bigger players.
00:40:11So how do you take advantage of that offensively?
00:40:15I mean, you just got to take advantage of mixed matches.
00:40:17You know, most of the time there's a big guy on me.
00:40:19If not, there's usually somebody trying to switch off.
00:40:21But I just got to know when to pop and just take advantage of the mismatches.
00:40:26You've done just that in the first half.
00:40:28Thanks.
00:40:28Back to you, Kevin.
00:40:30Thanks so much, David.
00:40:31And we'll step away briefly, but get you right back out here for the start of the third quarter after this break.
00:40:39It's the 2K Sports Halftime Show.
00:40:42Hey, welcome back to 2K Sports.
00:40:44Bernie Johnson alongside Shaquille O'Neal and the Jets.
00:40:47Let's get to it.
00:40:49The first half was all about Stephen Curry.
00:40:53He had 20 points, 3 rebounds, and 6 assists.
00:40:57His last game out, he was just not himself.
00:41:00But tonight, he has rounded right back into form with a very solid first half.
00:41:05Taking a look at the Warriors, Kenny, what'd you think?
00:41:07Well, you know going in, Steph Curry can make any kind of shot.
00:41:11But then, he still finds his way to impress.
00:41:14Big showing so far.
00:41:16One of the most entertaining players in the game.
00:41:20And looking at Dallas, Shaq, your thoughts?
00:41:22Sloppy ball.
00:41:23Way too many wasted possessions.
00:41:25Chucking up threes.
00:41:26Missing them.
00:41:27I could hit more threes than that.
00:41:28I hope they're talking right now about getting the ball inside.
00:41:32Because that's what it's going to take.
00:41:33And then we're hitting more threes, there'll be a different story.
00:41:35But if it was the fifth, Ernie, you know the rest.
00:41:40And that does it for our halftime show.
00:41:42We now take you back to Kevin Harlan for the start of the third period.
00:42:15Three, two quarters.
00:42:16He has been terrific.
00:42:18Yeah, Greg.
00:42:18This game has his fingerprints all over it.
00:42:21Now looking to replicate what he did in the first half.
00:42:26And there wasn't too much drama in the first half.
00:42:28But maybe things will tighten up here in the second.
00:42:31Mavericks trail by 17.
00:42:33On the floor for Dallas.
00:42:35They've got Prusinkas.
00:42:36Tim Hardaway Jr. out there with Jalen Brunson.
00:42:39Then there's Luka Doncic.
00:42:40And it's Finney Smith in at the fourth spot.
00:42:43That should give him a nice little jolt.
00:42:45Ah, yeah.
00:42:46It has to.
00:42:47They need a jolt, GX.
00:42:49Hey, guys.
00:42:49You think he was sending a message on that one?
00:42:51He doesn't like losing.
00:42:54Here's Curry.
00:42:55Got a piece of it.
00:43:00Now here's Brunson.
00:43:06Doncic outside.
00:43:07Here's the teardrop.
00:43:10And it's good on the way up.
00:43:12Doncic has got 15.
00:43:14And already in his career, Doncic displays a remarkable amount of pro moves.
00:43:19Including that floater right there.
00:43:21Russell kicks to Cauley-Stein.
00:43:23Outside Curry.
00:43:31Thompson outside.
00:43:35That's the green.
00:43:39It's rebounded by Doncic.
00:43:41Oh, defense.
00:43:42They just took that possession off.
00:43:44I mean, they get away with it that time.
00:43:46But they've got to show some more aggression.
00:43:47And foul on the shot.
00:43:49So, he'll get a chance at the line.
00:43:51They get Stephen Curry.
00:43:59And as Dirk Nowitzki walks off into the sunset,
00:44:03the Mavericks seem to have found their next European superstar.
00:44:07And Luka Doncic, the number three pick in last year's draft,
00:44:11had a rookie season for the ages.
00:44:28And he makes the first.
00:44:31And Doncic, the EuroLeague MVP,
00:44:33led Real Madrid to a title.
00:44:35EuroLeague Finals MVP,
00:44:37all at the tender age of 19.
00:44:40Incredibly accomplished.
00:44:42Despite that, slipped a little bit in the draft
00:44:45into the waiting arms of the Mavs,
00:44:48who moved up two spots to get him.
00:44:51Oh, free throw is good from Doncic.
00:44:53Yeah, the versatility and competitive fire of Doncic is impressive.
00:44:58You can just tell this kid loves to play the game.
00:45:05Russell inside, guarded by Hardaway.
00:45:08Pauly Stein's shot is good.
00:45:10It's a great move, and he catches the defense completely off guard.
00:45:15You'd like to see a little more energy coming out of halftime with the defensive end.
00:45:18Now, let's go to the sideline and catch up with our Hall of Famer, David Aldrin.
00:45:23Well, Kevin, DeAngelo Russell was traded from the Lakers,
00:45:26and in his words, was kicked on the way out.
00:45:30He's become an all-star in Brooklyn.
00:45:32Russell said, it's a heck of an accomplishment.
00:45:35That respect from your peers, your coaches, other teams, it's a great feeling.
00:45:40Kevin, given how it started for him in L.A., many remain shocked by Russell's rapid ascent.
00:45:47Coming into his own, you're right, David, thank you.
00:45:49Runs in the pass to Doncic.
00:45:53Outside Hardaway.
00:45:59Pass to Doncic.
00:46:04Good, and the assist goes to Hardaway.
00:46:06Doncic has got six in the quarter.
00:46:08His shooting has been a bright spot for them.
00:46:10Otherwise, they struggle as a whole.
00:46:16Whiteside Curry.
00:46:19Back to Russell.
00:46:22Bad shot off.
00:46:24Great D that time from Hardaway.
00:46:29Now, here's Brunson.
00:46:31Guarded by Curry.
00:46:32Basket, good.
00:46:34Brunson's got 15 points.
00:46:35And they've worked the ball around so well tonight for those quality looks for mid-range.
00:46:45And the basket by Curry.
00:46:47I mean, he's a former NBA scoring champion.
00:46:50Curry just shows us why.
00:46:51It's a terrific night for them.
00:46:56Thompson against Doncic.
00:46:57Inside.
00:47:05Counting.
00:47:06And the Warrior lead has been cut to just 11 on the basket from Finney Smith.
00:47:11He's just adept at gutting the defense in these sets.
00:47:15Give Doncic a passing lane, and he'll thread the needle.
00:47:18Outside, Russell.
00:47:26Outside, Green.
00:47:28And there's the whistle.
00:47:29Three-second violation.
00:47:32Dallas making a switch here.
00:47:33Leba's checked in.
00:47:35Maverick's trail by 11.
00:47:44Pass to Doncic.
00:47:55Had a chance there to cut it to single digits, but it's off target.
00:48:01Thompson passes to Russell.
00:48:02That's in.
00:48:04Coming off the assist from Thompson.
00:48:06That's 12 points for D'Angelo Russell.
00:48:09You see where the size of Russell is such an advantage, especially in that painted area.
00:48:17On the wing, Doncic.
00:48:19He's covered by Thompson.
00:48:22Here's Finney Smith.
00:48:24Off the mark there with a three-point shot.
00:48:25And here's Curry, who brings it up for the Warriors.
00:48:30Shots good by Green.
00:48:31And the attack mindset of Draymond is nowhere more evident than in transition.
00:48:38The pass to Hardaway.
00:48:39Back to Doncic.
00:48:54Passes it to Finney Smith.
00:48:55Just three to shoot.
00:48:57Hardaway.
00:48:57For three.
00:48:58Gets it to go from beyond the arc.
00:49:01Hardaway has got five.
00:49:03Oh, he just caught the defense nothing.
00:49:05He shoots a very high percentage from three-point range.
00:49:07When there's no hand in his face.
00:49:10Back to Curry.
00:49:14On deep.
00:49:16And the rebound goes to the Mavericks.
00:49:22And here's Brunson.
00:49:24Draymond Green pulls it in.
00:49:29On the wing, Thompson.
00:49:31Guarded by Doncic.
00:49:35Molly Stein finds Thompson.
00:49:37This one for three.
00:49:42Gets the three-pointer to fall.
00:49:44Nine points in the game so far.
00:49:46The green light doesn't get any brighter than it is for Thompson.
00:49:50I mean, when the three is there for him, he'll take it.
00:49:53Outside Hardaway.
00:49:57Knocked away.
00:49:58And here's the fast break.
00:50:01Russell leading the way.
00:50:03Thompson for three.
00:50:05No good there.
00:50:06Now Dallas takes it the other way.
00:50:12Outside Hardaway.
00:50:17Here's Brunson.
00:50:1915 points in the game.
00:50:22Pass to Doncic.
00:50:23Hardaway against Russell.
00:50:28Launches a three.
00:50:30That's good.
00:50:30And the Warrior lead is cut down now to just 12 on the basket from Hardaway.
00:50:35Something going wrong with the D out there.
00:50:37He's one of the guys you've got to be worried about on the perimeter.
00:50:40Now here's Curry.
00:50:46Guarded close.
00:50:48Fast break.
00:50:49Dallas.
00:50:50Doncic leading the charge.
00:50:52In the dunk by Doncic.
00:50:54And it just seems when Doncic turns it on, it's a sight to see.
00:50:59Incredible.
00:51:00It's scoring in a variety of ways.
00:51:03And the Warriors decide to take their first time out here.
00:51:06Adjustments are a part of the game.
00:51:08And the coach sees something he doesn't like here.
00:51:11Yeah.
00:51:11I like the chess match that's going on here.
00:51:13Each team trying to find and exploit the favorable matchup on the floor.
00:51:17I'm on another trip.
00:51:44And the Warriors with some changes.
00:52:13Kevon Looney is checked in for Carly Stein.
00:52:16Robinson comes in for Thompson.
00:52:18And Alec Burks subbed in for Russell.
00:52:20Then for the Mavericks, Dwight Powell's checked in for Torian Finney-Smith.
00:52:24Seth Curry comes in for Hardaway.
00:52:26And Marea subbed in for Jalen Brunson.
00:52:29Mavericks trail by 10.
00:52:31Right wing.
00:52:35Here's Kleba.
00:52:37Parted by Green.
00:52:40Kleba kicks to Doncic.
00:52:43Six on the shot clock.
00:52:48Green against Curry.
00:52:50And they force the shot clock violation.
00:52:53Great team.
00:53:03Warriors leading by 10.
00:53:08Curry passes to Looney.
00:53:09Back to Curry.
00:53:22It's rebounded by Doncic.
00:53:24Doncic has got four rebounds now tonight.
00:53:28Powell trying to free himself up.
00:53:30And Doncic gets it to go.
00:53:33Doncic has got to back down to within single digits for the Mans.
00:53:36So.
00:53:39Burks the pass to Curry.
00:53:45A second chance effort.
00:53:47He takes it up and lays it in.
00:53:49Curry's got 24 points.
00:53:51You better not lose track of Curry.
00:53:54I mean, you forget about him for one second, he'll find a way to hurt you.
00:53:57Even on the offensive glass.
00:54:01Doncic outside.
00:54:04Good.
00:54:05And it's Perea who picks up the assist.
00:54:07Doncic has got 12 points here in the second half.
00:54:10Great quarter for him at the offensive end.
00:54:13Trying to will his team back in the game.
00:54:19Up top, Curry.
00:54:20Guarded by Barea.
00:54:22Floats one up.
00:54:24And the rebound goes to the Mavericks.
00:54:25And he did everything he could to make that shot as difficult as possible.
00:54:31Excellent D.
00:54:32Avoiding fouling and got in the perfect position to alter the shot.
00:54:36Well, they're getting stops.
00:54:38And they're attacking on the offensive end.
00:54:41Yeah.
00:54:42Now, that's how you mount a comeback.
00:54:44They're not all the way back.
00:54:45But they're getting close.
00:54:50Burks against Curry.
00:54:51And the call on the shot that sends him to the line.
00:54:55Wow.
00:54:56Wow.
00:54:56He got whacked on that one.
00:54:58Shouldn't be much debate there.
00:55:00The Warriors have shot 10 of 11 at the line.
00:55:02Nice work so far for them.
00:55:05At the line for two.
00:55:12Two shots.
00:55:22The first one falls.
00:55:23Alphonso McKinney has checked in for Green.
00:55:41And that one goes in.
00:55:42Two from the line that time.
00:55:45Mavericks trail by eight.
00:55:46Borea looking over the floor.
00:55:54And Looney sends it back.
00:55:56Now the Warriors moving it up.
00:55:59Here's Curry.
00:56:00Yep.
00:56:01That one goes.
00:56:02Curry's got six in the quarter.
00:56:04Maybe you would think Steph would be thrown off by some contact.
00:56:07But think again.
00:56:09Just too good of a finisher in close.
00:56:11Too much feel for the puck.
00:56:12Curry against Borea.
00:56:17And Curry pulls it down.
00:56:20Curry's got six rebounds now in the game.
00:56:23Burks.
00:56:24Offensive rebound.
00:56:25It's Koolett on the putback.
00:56:27And the Warriors lead by 12.
00:56:29It's a plus five advantage for them in rebounding after that one.
00:56:34There's 138 left in the third.
00:56:44Outside Curry.
00:56:46Six to shoot.
00:56:51Over Burks.
00:56:53Again the miss by the Mavericks.
00:56:56And it's Curry with the ball.
00:56:57Bringing it up for the Golden State Warriors.
00:56:59Well when you look at a guy like Kevin Looney.
00:57:02I mean he gives his team so much.
00:57:05I mean great option to have either starting or off the bench with his versatility.
00:57:09Curry fires from way outside.
00:57:12You can't hit that time.
00:57:13Now the Mavericks take it the other way.
00:57:16He had six points from long range in the first half.
00:57:18But nothing's falling here since.
00:57:24Borea with it.
00:57:25I can't catch.
00:57:27We're winning.
00:57:27We're winning.
00:57:28Played in with a nice touch off the glass.
00:57:32How about that move?
00:57:33Is this guy special or what?
00:57:36I just love watching him operate inside.
00:57:40Curry on the wing.
00:57:44Oh man.
00:57:45The shiftiness of Steph.
00:57:46The quick trigger.
00:57:47Hard guy to defend without fouling.
00:57:54So far he's hit all of his shots at the foul line.
00:57:57Going four for four.
00:58:05Two shots.
00:58:16And he knocks down the first one.
00:58:17And some changes here for the Mavericks.
00:58:19Where Zingas comes in for Maxi Kleba.
00:58:22And it's DeLon right in for J.J.
00:58:23Borea.
00:58:24And both free throws.
00:58:39Good for Curry.
00:58:40And if they continue, Kevin, their outstanding free throw shooting,
00:58:44that'll help them seal the deal.
00:58:46And Robinson comes to help.
00:58:49Donchich dishes to right.
00:58:54It's Powell on the wing.
00:58:56Guarded by Curry.
00:59:01Curry against Curry.
00:59:03Active foul.
00:59:04And the shot clock expires.
00:59:0624-second violation.
00:59:11And the Warriors making a change here.
00:59:22And here are the Warriors now.
00:59:24Leading by 12.
00:59:25Curry's got 10 points here in the second half.
00:59:35I mean, that's good as soon as he leaves his fingers.
00:59:37I mean, he's not going to miss from there.
00:59:39And here at the end of the third quarter,
00:59:41it's a double-digit ball game.
00:59:43The Warriors on top.
00:59:44Leading by 14.
00:59:45It's the NBA on 2K Sports from San Francisco.
01:00:15And we reach the fourth quarter in a game that may be already out of hand.
01:00:29Warriors leading by 14.
01:00:31Okay, now let's reset our lineups courtesy of Gatorade.
01:00:34All fueled up and ready to go for this fourth quarter.
01:00:36Setting the floor for the Warriors.
01:00:39Green down low with Looney.
01:00:41Steph Curry's out there with Alec Burks.
01:00:43And it's Robinson.
01:00:44In at the three spot.
01:00:45And he makes that one.
01:00:47Looney's got the first field goal of the fourth quarter here for the Warriors.
01:00:51Ha!
01:00:52Terrific pass.
01:00:53That's a quality possession.
01:00:54Green showing once again how valuable he is to them.
01:00:58Pass to right.
01:01:00Some nice passing here by Dallas.
01:01:05Powell Burzingas kicks it to Powell.
01:01:08Lock it six.
01:01:12Right outside.
01:01:14Off target with his three.
01:01:16And with the success they've had rebounding the basketball.
01:01:20They're right where you'd expect them to be.
01:01:22Firmly in the driver's seat.
01:01:24And Green gets it to go.
01:01:26And defensively, they're on their heels every time the ball comes inside.
01:01:31He can't get that one to fall.
01:01:32He can't get that one to fall.
01:01:44Great tee that time from Green.
01:01:46You know what a counter-competitor he is.
01:01:48I know he's upset with his performance and with the score.
01:01:51Mavericks trail by 18.
01:01:53We've gone about a minute and a half into the fourth quarter.
01:02:00Fouled on the shot and picks up two points.
01:02:02So, one free throw coming up.
01:02:03And some changes here for the Warriors.
01:02:10Thompson, he's checked in for Robinson.
01:02:12And D'Angelo Russell subbed in for Burks.
01:02:14And Dallas also making a switch.
01:02:16Dorian Finney-Smith's checked in for Powell.
01:02:18That free throw good from Donchich.
01:02:40Fourth quarter now.
01:02:41We're about a minute and a half in.
01:02:46White against Curry.
01:02:48Offensive rebound.
01:02:50And denied.
01:02:51He sends it right off the glass.
01:02:54The shot by Looney.
01:02:55No good.
01:02:57And it's right with the ball for the Mavericks.
01:03:0015-point game.
01:03:02That one goes in.
01:03:04Wow.
01:03:04He doesn't make plays like that very often.
01:03:07That's a nice move inside.
01:03:10And the pass to Looney.
01:03:15Curry against right.
01:03:16Green inside the three-point line.
01:03:20Good.
01:03:20And Curry gets the assist.
01:03:22Curry's got his eighth assist in the game.
01:03:28Fourth quarter of play.
01:03:30And we're about two and a half minutes through it right now.
01:03:34Right.
01:03:35The pass to Finney-Smith.
01:03:37Missed inside.
01:03:38They have been board dominant in this game.
01:03:41That's definitely been a factor in crafting this huge loop.
01:03:44And the shot goes in.
01:03:45Timeout, timeout.
01:03:4632 points for Steph Curry.
01:03:48Moving it around.
01:03:49Eight of their last ten coming off assists.
01:03:52And the Mavericks call time here.
01:03:55Yeah, fans around the league love to hate Tremont Green for how outspoken he is.
01:04:00But I honestly believe that hate fuels Green.
01:04:03He loves to play the bad guy.
01:04:05That's all.
01:04:06At the end.
01:04:23She will judge Harry.
01:04:24Well done.
01:04:24I should have hella.
01:04:24We could have これ.
01:04:25But I did.
01:04:25I should have the lead in this game.
01:04:26That's what he did.
01:04:27He does.
01:04:27I'm going to play the leadstra marinadewo.
01:04:27Hey.
01:04:28Yeah.
01:04:29I should have the lead in this game.
01:04:30Jason UP.
01:04:30I'm going to play it right now.
01:04:31What was I get near?
01:04:32Don't tell him to think so.
01:04:33Hardaway's check-in for Seth Kerr.
01:04:57And over two and a half minutes in the books here in the fourth.
01:05:05And C-Web, as you were talking about with Draymond Green,
01:05:08you know, he's embraced the role in the past of villain in the NBA.
01:05:12But he said during the playoffs last year he wants to change his way.
01:05:16Yeah, right. We'll see.
01:05:18And Draymond will earth opposing players and fans alike.
01:05:21But that's just a part of what makes him so effective.
01:05:23I mean, he's the ultimate example of a player who you love when he's on your team
01:05:28and you hate when he's not.
01:05:29Yeah, how about the body control on that one?
01:05:32Narrowly misses getting the deuce.
01:05:34The good warrior.
01:05:36Jango Russell.
01:05:38At the line for two.
01:05:47Two.
01:05:48Two.
01:05:53And the first one drops.
01:05:58Being a lottery pick often comes with high expectations.
01:06:03But Russell is shaped into a quality NBA player.
01:06:06Willie Cauley-Stein.
01:06:07He's jacked in for Golden State.
01:06:14He's perfect from the line this time.
01:06:17Around three minutes gone here in the fourth quarter.
01:06:20Right to pass to Finney-Smith.
01:06:26Outside Hardaway.
01:06:30Right from outside.
01:06:33They get it back.
01:06:34But they recover it.
01:06:38Coley-Stein against Porzingis.
01:06:40Six on the shot clock.
01:06:45Hardaway, that's a two-pointer.
01:06:46Dallas, no good that time either.
01:06:48Plus eight in the rebound differential.
01:06:50One more reason why they're in control.
01:06:53Here's Thompson.
01:06:54It falls for his fifth field goal tonight.
01:06:57Now shooting five for eight.
01:06:58Boy, you have to be impressed with the offensive production.
01:07:02They have got it firing on all cylinders.
01:07:05They're showing no signs of letting up.
01:07:08I love this approach right now.
01:07:10They value each possession.
01:07:11Outside, Russell.
01:07:20Green against Hardaway.
01:07:25Outside, Green.
01:07:29Golden State needs to get off a shot.
01:07:32And it's Russell missing.
01:07:33Average trail by 19.
01:07:36They could use a big shot here to get this offense going.
01:07:38Too many empty possessions right now.
01:07:41They need to basket.
01:07:42He gets it in there.
01:07:4334 points for Luka Doncic.
01:07:46They're going to be relying on him here late.
01:07:50I mean, just think about it.
01:07:50Hoping to come from behind.
01:07:52He just needs to keep doing what he's been doing.
01:07:56Russell, no good.
01:07:57Dallas has gotten off to an 0 for 2 start from downtown here in the fourth quarter.
01:08:01Here's Hardaway.
01:08:03Good.
01:08:03And the assist goes to Doncic.
01:08:06And that's now 10 points for Tim Hardaway.
01:08:09He's really turned it around here in the second half.
01:08:11I mean, his offense has returned.
01:08:16Outside, Russell.
01:08:18Outside, Curry.
01:08:19Takes the 3.
01:08:21Krills it from outside.
01:08:23Curry's got 5 points now this quarter.
01:08:25And they're really in a good position here, thanks in part to the way he's been able to score the basketball.
01:08:30It's stolen by Curry.
01:08:31Curry.
01:08:33And he comes up with the deuce.
01:08:37And the Warriors lead by 20.
01:08:39No hesitation at all in transition.
01:08:41And they have a huge margin in that department.
01:08:45Passes it to Doncic.
01:08:47Over Thompson.
01:08:49Doncic, no good.
01:08:52And here's Curry who brings it up for the Warriors.
01:08:55Russell, this is to Green.
01:08:56And it's Green with the jam.
01:08:58That's another one for Green.
01:09:01They've done a very good job of establishing his office tonight.
01:09:07Feeds it to Hardaway.
01:09:09And no good.
01:09:11The dry spell continuing for him.
01:09:13Outside, Curry.
01:09:21Over right.
01:09:23Curry can't get it to go.
01:09:25The Mavericks shooting in the fourth quarter has looked shabby.
01:09:2838%.
01:09:29Here's Doncic.
01:09:31Second shot opportunity.
01:09:33Green with the block.
01:09:35Like a Jaguar looking for his next meal.
01:09:37Draymond pouncing on the attempted shot.
01:09:40Just fine on the clock.
01:09:41And Draymond Green picks up the foul.
01:09:44That is his first foul of the game.
01:09:46Jalen Brunson.
01:09:47He's checked in for Dallas.
01:09:57Porzingis inside.
01:09:58Working on Cawley Stein.
01:10:00No one covering.
01:10:01And I like the decision making.
01:10:04He's taking what the defense is willing to give him.
01:10:07Oh, yeah.
01:10:07And that's just a good read on his part.
01:10:10And as usual, his mid-range jumper.
01:10:12Mavericks trailed by 20.
01:10:20Now here's Brunson.
01:10:22Outside, Porzingis.
01:10:28Pass to Doncic.
01:10:31Just five to shoot.
01:10:33And stolen by Russell.
01:10:40And the slam dunk by Russell.
01:10:42And, you know, we talk about feel and reading the situation.
01:10:46Russell gets an opening there and does not flinch.
01:10:53Porzingis against Cawley Stein.
01:10:57Porzingis kicks to Hardaway.
01:11:02Shot clock at five.
01:11:04That's all good.
01:11:05And that's his fifth basket of the game.
01:11:07He's shooting five for 11 now.
01:11:09And he is starting to turn it on now after that slow start.
01:11:14Outside, green.
01:11:17Pass to Curry.
01:11:22The three.
01:11:23And another three for Golden State.
01:11:26Oh, that's a drop in the bucket for Mr. Code.
01:11:28One of the softest three-point shots you'll ever see.
01:11:34On Jibs outside.
01:11:40They double him with green.
01:11:41To the left wing.
01:11:42The pass to Porzingis.
01:11:49Goes up to the stripe.
01:11:51And the rebound goes to the Warriors.
01:11:54Green's got double-digit rebounds now in the game.
01:11:57Cawley Stein at the elbow.
01:11:59Green finds Russell.
01:12:00Passes it to Thompson.
01:12:11Cawley Stein trying to free himself up.
01:12:13And he'll shoot free throws here.
01:12:14Clearly fouled on that shot that time.
01:12:17The whistle blowing.
01:12:18And the foul called on the Dallas Mavers.
01:12:20That's how you turn defense to offense.
01:12:22Cawley Stein is such an active presence on the court.
01:12:25Green, Cawley Stein.
01:12:27He's off on the first.
01:12:49Oh, and the defensive specialist, Cawley Stein,
01:12:51is an effective part of this rotation.
01:12:53Now, he must evolve his offensive game more.
01:12:57Good on the second free throw.
01:13:17Dallas has gotten off to an 0-2 start from downtown
01:13:19here in the fourth quarter.
01:13:24Thompson against Donchich.
01:13:26Here's Finney Smith.
01:13:29No good from outside.
01:13:30And the well is running dry for him right now.
01:13:34Nothing.
01:13:34Yeah, he just hit a rough patch.
01:13:36He's trying to climb out of it,
01:13:38but he hasn't been successful.
01:13:40Now, that's how you lead your teammate
01:13:42into an easy scoring chance.
01:13:45I love that assist.
01:13:45Now, here's Brunson, guarded by Kirk.
01:13:56Brunson kicks to Finney Smith.
01:14:00Hardaway with it.
01:14:01He's picked up by Russell.
01:14:03And Hardaway gets it to go.
01:14:05It's really been a tale of two halves, guys.
01:14:07A slow start, but this quarter,
01:14:09he has really been the man.
01:14:11And here's Russell.
01:14:17Over to the left wing.
01:14:19Here's Cauley Stein.
01:14:21Rebounded by Hardaway.
01:14:24Hardaway has got his fourth rebound
01:14:25with that last one here tonight.
01:14:30Donchich feeling it out.
01:14:32And two free throws coming up.
01:14:36Unable to get that one to go
01:14:38with all the content.
01:14:39And so confident.
01:14:40Even amongst the trees,
01:14:42Donchich is fantastic
01:14:44at forcing the issue close to the rim.
01:14:47Hardaway!
01:14:52Hardaway!
01:14:54Hardaway!
01:14:56Hardaway!
01:14:58Hardaway!
01:15:00Hardaway!
01:15:01Hardaway!
01:15:11Hardaway!
01:15:12No good on the free throw.
01:15:14On the Mavericks were some changes.
01:15:15Marjanovic checked in for
01:15:17Dorian Finney-Smith.
01:15:18Lee comes in for
01:15:19Tim Hardaway-June.
01:15:21And Marea subbed in
01:15:22for Jalen Brunson.
01:15:23and he's good on the second
01:15:40here's Poole
01:15:45156 left to play here on the fourth
01:15:51outside Russell
01:15:53and they double up Russell
01:15:58down to five on the shot clock
01:16:02and it's out of bounds
01:16:05they say it was last touched by Wajonovic
01:16:07Burks he's checked in for the Warriors
01:16:09Jackson he's checked in for the Mavericks
01:16:21here's Poole
01:16:25nice D from Porzingis
01:16:28Dallas has gone 0-3 so far
01:16:30in the fourth quarter from long range
01:16:32Jackson passes to Lee
01:16:35127 left in the fourth
01:16:41offensive rebound
01:16:42and foul on the shot
01:16:45he'll shoot two at the free throw line
01:16:47the first free throw is good
01:17:17and so Jackson nails both of them
01:17:40here's Poole
01:17:44122 left in the fourth quarter of this one
01:17:47and so it's going to end up in the record books
01:17:49as a blowout
01:17:51a dominating performance
01:17:52for the Warriors
01:17:53and this was one
01:17:56that never really was in doubt
