00:00They have a chance to clinch their playoff spot
00:03With a win because the Wizards lost earlier today
00:06So Brooklyn can guarantee a playoff spot and they have been one of the real surprises in the bubble Jeff
00:11One of the most improbable victories
00:16Smart
00:19Kicks it back out Brown's got a good look for three. That's good. Jalen Brown the second three-pointer
00:24Krooots to Jared Allen and the foul nice setup and a chance for a three-point play
00:36Smart
00:37Five to shoot
00:39Looking for an opening step back three-pointer. That's good Marcus Smart from downtown
00:44He hadn't hit a shot in the last couple of games
00:46He had 23 in the opener against Milwaukee, but was 0 for 9 since as Krooots
00:51Answers right back with a three-pointer
00:54Chioza to the rim left-handed all sweet move from Chioza in traffic. He's got terrific speed
01:04And he's a good competitor
01:08Williams and a foul for the first round pick number 14
01:13Last year's draft alley up to Williams nice pass for Marcus Smart and Robert Williams
01:19Throws it down
01:21It shows that you have high high basketball character and toughness and I think in Orlando
01:28Mike as Hayward not to agree, but what Jacques Vaughn has talked about
01:33Because next year if he's given the reins as Hayward knocks down another team
01:38You have no chance to win a championship. So
01:41We're gonna play hard. We're gonna pass. We're gonna be professional
01:47Some of the best skip not the best basketball of his career
01:52Brad Wanamaker good-looking jumper
01:55Straight on three from Joe Harris
01:58Long rebound Hayward whips it ahead Langford one man to beat lays it up off the rim gets his own rebound tries again and scores
02:07Yeah, they've done a nice job of kids continue to communicate with these guys down here and still showing their leadership
02:12With the group that's here and Kyrie with the shoulder. He just played 20. Yes, I say the same with the same with Kai
02:18He's very much involved with this group right now. And thanks Lisa
02:22Alright lease Ron Marks who played in a couple of Olympics with the New Zealand national team
02:27Played he also played
02:2912 years in the NBA Joe Harris and Karis LeVert LeVert drives on Wanamaker gets inside and gets the layup
02:38Just a quick isolation
02:43I want to make her looking
02:46OJL a corner three is good. That's the seventh three-pointer for the Celtics. There's seven for 13 back up center
02:52LeVert
02:55LeVert gets his hands on it but tipped it right to Kanter
03:00It is 20
03:05Karis LeVert scoots inside he's explosive off the dribble and that burst beautiful
03:14Kanter looking to post up spins and scores and the foul
03:17We're midway through the second
03:2321 point advantage
03:25LeVert to Allen and the flush
03:27Herky-jerky unorthodox way of dribbling and moving. I think that's
03:32Makes him difficult to defend even more so as OJL a hits another excuse me Jalen Brown hits a three
03:38Lost a couple tough heartbreaking games won a couple other big-time performances
03:44Tyler Johnson off the dribble
03:50Good hands inside crew roots with the steel and then Tyler Johnson shuffles it to him for an easy bucket
03:58Two minutes left here first half Celtics and the Nets scored in Hayward from downtown
04:04They're 9 of 15 from three-point range what decision makers good size
04:08And I'll wind up a little each sees a little frustrated made a beautiful move Tice was there to clean it up for him
04:18It's definitely progressing Tatum loses it Jared Allen shuffles it ahead
04:23Johnson back to Harris. That's a nice-looking fast break there good teamwork
04:27Jalen Brown high score for the Celtics in the first half adds to that with another three Lance Thomas
04:42Alley-oop to Brown Tice with a good pass and Jalen Brown having one of those games. He's got 18
04:48But just had not felt they played
04:51Nearly they're good their best basketball as Tatum flips it up and in
04:58This handles it again
05:01He was in foul trouble in the first half
05:04Knocks down that
05:05Right now Brooklyn just can't get any stops
05:08Celtics have had their way Harris that time gets a stop outlet to Levert Levert
05:14They will look throw it down down the other end
05:16Thomas in and out
05:21Jared Allen on the follow
05:23Taco takes up a lot of
05:26viewing space
05:28Jalen Brown again from downtown his fifth three-pointer and Brown's got 21 points in 22 minutes
05:38Brown nice feet inside the Tice Brown doing everything
05:42Mama there goes that man. Well, I don't know if there's just one because they're right there
05:50They can play with anybody as Tatum hits a late shot clock three
05:55Dante Hall Justin Anderson have come on for Brooklyn
05:59Tatum
06:01Wanamaker quick decision gets it inside and Robert Williams with the finish
06:05Williams
06:11Tatum using a Williams screen gets free three-pointer. That's good
06:15Focus tonight, especially defensively Tyler Johnson misses Robert Williams quick out list and they're just a lot more talented
06:23Brad Wanamaker using the left hand
06:2721 for Brown 16 for Tatum 14 for Hayward
06:30Martin gets it inside Dante Hall
06:34That was a nice play by Martin good explosion as Anderson gets the rebound final minute third quarter
06:45Jeremiah Martin there's just a great opportunity for players like Martin and Hall
06:50Tatum's got the stroke going beautifully here in the third quarter with the knee injury and no word yet on the severity that you know the MRI
07:03Should everything structurally, okay, so he's going to be day to day
07:07Philadelphia is playing is concerning. Yeah, they're just not playing well
07:12Another nice feeds
07:14Marcus smart one basketball
07:16Another alley-oop now Williams just out jumps everybody smart with his fifth assist
07:27Last night back or yes, that actually was the early evening game last night. I never even led against Miami as Moosa gets fouled count at one
07:37It still sounds weird to say that but August 17th is when the playoffs will begin and
07:42And there's certainly going to be a play play in game in the West
07:46Hayward backs it all and again because of all the injury and health related problems for the Nets getting a just a golden opportunity to play NBA basketball here in the bubble
07:56Marcus smart for three
07:59He's showing a lot of his his athleticism tonight Jeff. Well, he's a good shot blocker
08:05Got good timing as Martin makes a three and when you're playing for a team like Boston who has chance being ship aspirations
08:13It's hard to find minutes as a wood with a beautiful pass to Williams
08:19Rebounds a couple of blocked shots all in just 12 minutes
08:23Hayward off the turnover and something's just continue to pour it on
08:26Hayward
08:32Robert Williams defending there's most points he scored in an NBA game Martin goes in and gets it you're right just over four minutes gone by here in the fourth
08:42Celtics came out strong early
08:44As Hall able to finish and run from the field all in just nine minutes
08:50Me it reminds me a little bit of Kendrick Nunn. Yeah
08:53Oh Julie
08:59Grant Williams has come on as well
09:03Oh Julie jumpers is really improved
09:15What's the Celtics high for points this season and you see him in the first round I
09:21Feel for Dante
09:23Paul on that
09:26Devontae green throws that one down with a little authority
09:30Wow to the Celtics played some terrific basketball and a long long night for the Brooklyn Nets
