00:07:11And they're letting some of their defense help them
00:07:15And Edwards starting to get going now
00:07:18He's up to 13 points after making both free throws
00:07:21Midway point of the third quarter
00:07:23Kiotas Alexander
00:07:25Great screen set by Williams
00:07:27Good deflection by Edwards
00:07:28A.J. Mitchell checking into the game for Holmgren
00:07:31He drives all the way to the cup
00:07:32And blew the layup
00:07:34Like it came off his hand as he tried to lay it in
00:07:39Just slipped out
00:07:40Edwards doubled
00:07:43On that drive
00:07:45So he pulls it back out
00:07:47Takes the long two
00:07:48Can't hit
00:07:48Long rebound
00:07:49Wallace
00:07:50Leads for Dort
00:07:53Another missed layup for the Thunder
00:07:55Kept alive though by Wallace
00:08:00Dort wide open
00:08:04And he gets it
00:08:06Luke Dort's first points of the night
00:08:09And they are willing
00:08:11To give him some looks
00:08:13If it means taking away somebody else
00:08:15This is going to be a foul
00:08:16On Anthony Edwards I believe
00:08:18But let's watch this night
00:08:22But let's watch this last possession by Shea
00:08:25Picks up the basketball
00:08:26Doesn't lose
00:08:27Any rhythm with it
00:08:28Just
00:08:29Calmly looking for an outlet
00:08:31Jalen Williams
00:08:32Finds the next guy
00:08:34Just the 4th
00:08:36May 3 of the night
00:08:37For the Thunder
00:08:38And
00:08:39Wallace committing his third foul
00:08:40They're over the limit
00:08:41So free throws for Minnesota
00:08:42The rest of the way
00:08:43In this third quarter
00:08:45Edwards 6 of 8 at the line
00:08:4715 of 24
00:08:49As a team

00:09:10About the Lakers
00:09:11They've won five in a row
00:09:13It's not just Luka Doncic
00:09:14It's Austin Reeves
00:09:15Who had another 30 point game
00:09:16And a Laker win last night
00:09:17All three guys
00:09:18LeBron James
00:09:19Had a big game
00:09:20As well
00:09:23Top end talents
00:09:24Pretty good for J.J. Reddick
00:09:29Edwards lost it
00:09:30After they got the extra
00:09:31Possession
00:09:32Following the missed free throw
00:09:33By Edwards
00:09:35Two point lead for the Thunder
00:09:36Inside five to go
00:09:37In the third
00:09:38Gojus Alexander
00:09:39With a kick out
00:09:40Wallace
00:09:41Got the three
00:09:47Thunder lead back to five
00:09:48And a timeout
00:09:49By Minnesota
00:09:51But Minnesota
00:09:52Continues to push
00:09:53And put game pressure on
00:09:55As long as the ball
00:09:56Is in this guy's hands
00:09:57You feel like
00:09:58A good decision's coming
00:10:04Welcome back to
00:10:05Oklahoma City
00:10:06This is NBA Wednesday
00:10:07Presented by State Farm
00:10:08Jaden McDaniels
00:10:09After the timeout
00:10:10Was called
00:10:11Took the ball
00:10:12Threw it high in the air
00:10:13It landed in the first row
00:10:14By the baseline
00:10:15To our left
00:10:16And so a technical foul
00:10:17Was called
00:10:18So Gojus Alexander
00:10:19Shooting a free throw
00:10:24I mean the ball
00:10:25Went over the stanchion
00:10:26And close to the stands
00:10:28So
00:10:29You tee him up
00:10:30You saw his frustration
00:10:31And disappointment
00:10:32With himself
00:10:33As Chris Finch told us
00:10:34Before the game
00:10:35They've struggled to keep
00:10:36Their focus at times
00:10:37It's cost them
00:10:38And there's an example
00:10:39Of it right there
00:10:40No need for that
00:10:41If you're McDaniels
00:10:42Here's Reid for three
00:10:43And boy he has really
00:10:44Struggled here in Oklahoma City
00:10:45He was 0 for 12 in the
00:10:46Conference Finals
00:10:47In games 1 and 2 here
00:10:48And so far tonight
00:10:49No points off the bench
00:10:500 for 2 from behind the arc
00:10:51Gildress Alexander putting on a clinic
00:11:01With the bounce against the defender
00:11:02Terrant Shannon
00:11:04Oh my goodness
00:11:05Shea's gonna happen
00:11:06That's 26 and it's a 9-1 run
00:11:08Gobert got bumped
00:11:09As Reid tried to throw
00:11:11The alley-oop
00:11:12Shea's gotta happen
00:11:13That's 26 and it's a 9-1 run
00:11:14Gobert got bumped
00:11:15Gobert got bumped
00:11:17As Reid tried to throw the alley-oop
00:11:18Gobert got bumped
00:11:19As Reid tried to throw
00:11:20Субтитры делал DimaTorzok.
00:11:50Sidesteps with the dribble and knocks down the mid-range shot.
00:11:54Katie was making the point about Alex Caruso talking about greatness.
00:11:58Think about the four top MVP candidates in the league right now.
00:12:03Joker, absolutely absurd level.
00:12:06Giannis before the injury, absurd level.
00:12:09Luka and SGA, just absolutely all four men at an incredible level.
00:12:15This could end up being an all-time MVP race if this keeps up
00:12:19as a foul is called here.
00:12:21Williams will go to the line with Gobert picking up his third.
00:12:26Jokic is averaging a triple-double again,
00:12:29but the numbers are better, and his shooting numbers are better.
00:12:32Luka Doncic is playing at a ridiculous level.
00:12:36Obviously, as you mentioned, Giannis battling some injuries,
00:12:39and the Bucs have lost five in a row.
00:12:40Williams gets the first free throw.
00:12:45Luka Doncic is historic.
00:12:49400 points, 100-plus assists in the first 12 games he played.
00:12:54It's the first time in NBA history.
00:12:57These numbers are just ridiculous what those men are doing.
00:13:00This could be one of the best all-time races just for depth of excellence.
00:13:07And don't lose your mind, everybody out there who says, you know,
00:13:09we've got a long way to go.
00:13:11These first 20 games are significant.
00:13:13They're more telling than the final 20 games of the season quite often.
00:13:18Edwards almost fell into the backcourt.
00:13:21Reed, and good defense by Dort.
00:13:24Oklahoma City looking to push the lead to double figures.
00:13:29The oldest Alexander fouled by Edwards.
00:13:31But that's Shea putting pressure on Anthony Edwards, too.
00:13:35Your best player just sitting down in the stands pressuring Anthony Edwards.
00:13:40Anthony is saying, hey, there's a foul here.
00:13:42And you saw Shea at one moment dance off him like he knew he was being a level two physical.
00:13:48Watch him.
00:13:49He's going to push off, show him high hands.
00:13:51But that level of defensive effort is beautiful.
00:13:54And then Dort does the rest.
00:14:00So two more free throws here for Gilgis Alexander.
00:14:04He's five for five at the line tonight.
00:14:05And there's the miss.
00:14:0790% free throw shooter.
00:14:10Along with the numbers we just showed you for SGA,
00:14:14he's averaging a career high four to one assist to turnover ratio this season.
00:14:19One thing Chris Finch pointed out to us in our meeting with him was how the ball movement is better in CRISPR watching Oklahoma City.
00:14:28That they even look as good as they look defensively compared to last year.
00:14:32He thinks they're better offensively.
00:14:33But I think it goes to what you said earlier about the character of Shea, Gilgis Alexander.
00:14:38That desire to see the other guys around him flourish, be invested in their success as much as his own.
00:14:46Mark Dagnall called it empathy.
00:14:48So he's got great empathy for his teammates as Edwards hits a three.
00:14:51Part of it is Gilgis Alexander hasn't always been the player he is now.
00:14:55He was a guy early in his career fighting for minutes.
00:14:57He knows what it's like to come off the bench and try to find your way in the NBA.
00:15:03Dort to answer around and out.
00:15:09Edwards 17 points to lead Minnesota.
00:15:12They double him as soon as he crosses the timeline.
00:15:17Reed in the corner.
00:15:18They need it.
00:15:18They get it.
00:15:19Naz Reed's first points of the game.
00:15:21And Randall and Dort gets tangled up underneath.
00:15:27Are they going double technically here?
00:15:29Or just on Oklahoma City?
00:15:32That's a huge bucket and a big relief for Naz Reed.
00:15:44See there, Randall.
00:15:46Fight for position with Dort.
00:15:48They called Dort for the five.
00:15:51His third.
00:15:53So Randall's at the line.
00:15:55As the Thunder.
00:15:57Been over the limit now for the last two and a half minutes.
00:16:03Randall three of six at the line.
00:16:05Minnesota 17 of 28.
00:16:07They missed 11 free throws on the trail by four to the defending champs.
00:16:12But this was why there was so much expectation on this team coming in.
00:16:17There's continuity.
00:16:18Obviously, the McKeel Alexander-Walker loss was a big one.
00:16:25That really hurt their depth.
00:16:29Three-point game.
00:16:31Seven straight points for the Wolves in less than a minute.
00:16:34Two and a half to go in the third.
00:16:36Gildas Alexander to Hartenstein.
00:16:39Caruso open look.
00:16:41But way short.
00:16:44Boy, they're just five for 18 from three, Oklahoma City.
00:16:48Edwards doubled.
00:16:50His shot won't fall.
00:16:52Randall battling underneath, but it's in the hands of Gildas Alexander.
00:16:57And now Mitchell penetrating and finishing off the glass.
00:17:00I mean, it's catch and go every time.
00:17:03This guy's got one thing on his mind.
00:17:05Get off the bounce to the cup.
00:17:08Mitchell's averaging 16 points per game after six a year ago.
00:17:13Extra pass by Conley and Randall couldn't make the three,
00:17:16but a foul inside as Nas Reid hits the floor.
00:17:21And he throws for Reid.
00:17:22Mitchell will be amongst those considered for most improved player.
00:17:28He sees one defender not afraid to attack Nas Reid.
00:17:32Little inside-out dribble.
00:17:34And this is the foul just a moment ago.
00:17:36Gildas Alexander grabbing the arm of Reid.
00:17:39Third foul in SGA.
00:17:43Let's check in with Katie for more on the great play of A.J. Mitchell in his second season.
00:17:48Well, Dave Doris, Mark Dignall says A.J. Mitchell's ceiling is so high,
00:17:52and he's like Payson Wallace and Chet Holmgren
00:17:54in the fact that you don't have to choose between developing him
00:17:57or trying to win a game.
00:17:58His ability allows you to do both at the same time,
00:18:01which is a luxury given the position that Oklahoma City is in.
00:18:05You're not sacrificing a potential win with him on the floor.
00:18:07He's helping you achieve it,
00:18:09which is pretty special for somebody in his young career.
00:18:12Second year.
00:18:14He's from Belgium.
00:18:15Was a second-round pick.
00:18:16Did they ever miss?
00:18:17I know.
00:18:18It's very rare.
00:18:19And the rich get richer because of how well this team has set up moving forward.
00:18:24Tremendous success and a stockpile of draft picks.
00:18:28Gildas Alexander goes to the left.
00:18:30And then how about Hartenstein with the follow jam?
00:18:35Reid on the other end, attacking and laying it home.
00:18:38A rare back-and-forth sequence of baskets.
00:18:47Great point game.
00:18:48Oklahoma City in front.
00:18:49Mitchell on the deep.
00:18:50Catch.
00:18:51Fouled.
00:18:52They'll go to the line for two.
00:18:55Well, you see Isaiah again.
00:18:57You can put him in the middle of the floor.
00:19:00He's going to make good decisions.
00:19:01This is a tough two attempt, but there he is as an offensive rebounder.
00:19:07And then Nas Reid pushing it right back at him.
00:19:11You like that sequence of offense there, Dave?
00:19:14We just hadn't had much of that throughout the game tonight.
00:19:17It was the second-lowest-scoring first half of the season of 88 points combined.
00:19:23WWE Survivor Series is a Thanksgiving week tradition since 1987.
00:19:28War Games returns Saturday night with a stacked card.
00:19:32Part of John Cena's farewell tour.
00:19:35He'll try for the Intercontinental Championship starting at 7 Eastern,
00:19:39streaming on ESPN with the unlimited plan.
00:19:42You can't see me, Dave.
00:19:45Surprised you knew that one.
00:19:46You're going deep into the bag tonight for us with that.
00:19:51Randall steps out of bounds and travel.
00:19:53He's traveling.
00:19:53Turn over.
00:19:54Find him himself.
00:19:56Picked his pivot foot out.
00:19:58Turnovers have been at issue for Randall the last couple.
00:20:02Came in with 10 over his last two games.
00:20:06But that one, that's frustrating, right?
00:20:08There's no pressure there.
00:20:12And a rough night for Randall.
00:20:14Just two for 12 on the floor.
00:20:17Mitchell penetrating.
00:20:18Scores again.
00:20:19A.J. Mitchell here late in the third quarter, as is Taron Shannon.
00:20:30He's been that way throughout the game.
00:20:31I'll tell you this.
00:20:32I don't know that I've seen back-to-back layups like that.
00:20:35One by Nas and one right there on an Oklahoma City defense that's been so dominant.
00:20:4012 points now for Shannon.
00:20:45Shot clock down to 10.
00:20:46A four-point lead for the Thunder.
00:20:50Giotis Alexander.
00:20:51Now Randall on the switch has him.
00:20:53Step back two.
00:20:54Got it!
00:20:5629 for Giotis Alexander.
00:21:00Six-second difference in the clocks here at the end of the quarter.
00:21:04Shot clock down to six.
00:21:19Edwards driving.
00:21:21Fires underneath to Reed.
00:21:22And he missed the layup.
00:21:25Five seconds left for the Thunder.
00:21:28Pass ahead to Hardenstein.
00:21:30Blocked by Reed, but a foul is called.
00:21:32And again, Minnesota's out of challenges.
00:21:34But, Dave, I thought there was contact on the other end.
00:21:37That's why Nas is losing his mind.
00:21:40And that's why Minnesota's bench was up and upset.
00:21:43They thought on their last attempt there was a foul call.
00:21:47No whistle.
00:21:51They thought Nas took a hit to the body, which forced him to miss.
00:21:56And then he comes back and absolutely fouls.
00:21:59Oh, I don't know where he got the ball.
00:22:00Oh, and he got the ball.
00:22:01Yeah, they missed that one.
00:22:02So you have two things you're upset about if you're Minnesota.
00:22:06The lack of the whistle there, and then it looks like he gets it clean.
00:22:15And then it looks like he gets it clean.
00:22:16But, you know what?
00:22:20You got to keep playing.
00:22:21You have done a beautiful job all night playing through this.
00:22:25Don't lose your mind, Minnesota.
00:22:28Because at this point of a lot of games this year, as the quarter comes to an end, Oklahoma City is blowing teams out.
00:22:34Their average margin of victories, 17 points per game.
00:22:39Best in NBA history.
00:22:40They lead by seven after three.
00:22:48Welcome back to NBA Wednesday, presented by State Farm.
00:22:51We're on the sidelines with Isaiah Hardenstein.
00:22:53Isaiah, they tied it up midway through the third quarter.
00:22:55What did you like about the way you guys closed out the third?
00:22:57I think we just picked up on the defense then.
00:22:59I think that was the biggest thing.
00:23:00I think that was the biggest thing.
00:23:01I think that was pushing the ball.
00:23:03They're a great team.
00:23:04Defensively and offensively.
00:23:05So, we just got to keep being consistent.
00:23:07There's been a low scoring game so far.
00:23:09What's going to be the difference here in the fourth?
00:23:11We continue to execute our game plan.
00:23:14They're just playing beefers.
00:23:15Thanks for the time.
00:23:16Katie, a rare 30-point quarter surrendered by Oklahoma City as Minnesota outscored the Thunder 32-29 in that third.
00:23:25But the Thunder lead by seven.
00:23:2732, they took 13 free throws.
00:23:30They had those couple of plays back-to-back where, you know, quick transition led to easy buckets.
00:23:36They were five for nine in the paint.
00:23:38It's just that Shea has that knack for giving his team exactly what's required.
00:23:45Shot clock violation.
00:23:47They had seven tenths of a second to shoot.
00:23:49And Kyojas Alexander starting the fourth quarter on the bench.
00:23:53He's played 31 minutes.
00:23:54He was listed as questionable with an illness throughout the day.
00:23:57He's got 29 points, 11 of 18 from the floor.
00:24:02He also has six assists.
00:24:04Oklahoma City's lost one game all year.
00:24:07They're perfect at home.
00:24:08They've won nine in a row coming into tonight.
00:24:10The longest win streak right now in the NBA.
00:24:13Shot clock down to five.
00:24:18Dillingham starting the fourth quarter.
00:24:20Played well in the second quarter.
00:24:22Reed with a step through.
00:24:23It wouldn't fall.
00:24:24Got it back, though, and put it home.
00:24:26He took a shot to the face.
00:24:28I like that response.
00:24:30You post Nas.
00:24:32He's got the mismatch.
00:24:33Goes right to work.
00:24:34Mitchell again attacking.
00:24:36Man, is he aggressive?
00:24:37He's able to get down the lane before a foul is called.
00:24:41So no Anthony and no Julius, which means you've got to get offense from somewhere.
00:24:46And that means it's Nas Reed time here to start the fourth good persistence.
00:24:51Took a while for Reed to get going, but he's now up to nine points.
00:24:56Shannon committed the foul, his second first team foul.
00:25:00A.J. Mitchell front rim the free throw.
00:25:03He's an 89% shooter on the year.
00:25:06He's had five 20-point games already this season and 18 games.
00:25:10He had none all of last year.
00:25:12Dealt with a toe injury.
00:25:13Missed about half the season a year ago.
00:25:15He was part of the rotation early in the year.
00:25:19But then the injury came and now it's next man up with the thunder and it usually works.
00:25:24The next man's been pretty good.
00:25:26Whoever it is.
00:25:31Reed working on Kenrich Williams making his season debut.
00:25:34Been out with an injury.
00:25:35Shannon for three.
00:25:37How about Shannon?
00:25:38Fifteen points off the bench.
00:25:40He was massive.
00:25:41His scoring in the first half was massive.
00:25:44Kind of kept them attached for long stretches when everybody else was struggling.
00:25:49Mitchell almost went to the ground.
00:25:51Got fortunate that ball was caught by Joe.
00:25:54Shot clock down to eight.
00:25:56Joe on the spot up.
00:25:58Can't get the three.
00:25:59And Minnesota can tie it here with a three.
00:26:01Shot creation with no shame.
00:26:03And this is where you miss Jalen Williams.
00:26:06Williams the all-star and all NBA player yet to play this year with a right wrist injury.
00:26:13Dave Vincenzo on the drive and kick.
00:26:15Dillingham lost the ball but got it back.
00:26:20Spinning firing and missing at the foul line.
00:26:23Loose ball.
00:26:24Holmgren and Shannon get on the floor.
00:26:28And a timeout by Mark Dagnall when Holmgren had possession.
00:26:31The coach called it.
00:26:33Early here in the fourth with Oklahoma City clinging to a three-point lead.
00:26:38A rare close game for the Thunder.
00:26:41The NBA on ESPN is presented all season long by State Farm.
00:26:48Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
00:26:51And a prop-eye co-pilot on Windows 11.
00:26:54He's a computer you can talk to.
00:26:56With the NBA Cup knockout round next week.
00:27:04Check in with Katie George for more.
00:27:06Well Dave Isaiah Hartenstein said this morning on the day of a cup game.
00:27:09All you hear in the locker room is money's on the line.
00:27:12Money's on the line.
00:27:13He said he and his teammates look forward to these games.
00:27:15There's extra juice.
00:27:16Guys on bigger contracts want younger guys or those on smaller deals to get rewarded.
00:27:21So these guys are all in on these games.
00:27:23And it is significant.
00:27:25Money for the team that ultimately wins the NBA Cup.
00:27:28As Joe gets to the basket and lays it in with the left hand.
00:27:33If Minnesota loses and Phoenix or the Lakers win then they would be eliminated from group play tonight.
00:27:43Off of Dillingham's leg.
00:27:47Edwards and Randle still on the bench for Minnesota.
00:27:51Steve Vincenzo.
00:27:52That's just his third basket and first three and eighth point.
00:27:56Ball finds Dillingham late in the clock.
00:27:59His speed makes the defense collapse and he finds Dante.
00:28:03Holmgren has had a struggle tonight but got deep there and gets the lay in for a second field goal.
00:28:09Keeping Shea on the bench letting him get a nice long rest here.
00:28:15Four point lead for Oklahoma City.
00:28:17They've won 13 games out of their 17 by double figures as the three goes for Shannon.
00:28:23Having the game of his life.
00:28:25He's got 18.7 of seven from the floor.
00:28:28He has been absolutely tremendous.
00:28:30Stay in space.
00:28:31Nice and patient.
00:28:32Foul on Dillingham.
00:28:35Knocking down Mitchell.
00:28:38Shannon had ten points in the first half.
00:28:41Felt like every one of them was monster.
00:28:44And Dillingham again.
00:28:46Second time.
00:28:47He's touched the paint or gotten multiple defenders reacting and then finding the right release.
00:28:55And the deficit is won right now for Minnesota.
00:28:58Mitchell trying to get downhill again.
00:29:00Kicks it off to Holmgren.
00:29:02You wonder about the confidence.
00:29:03Well it'll go up when you swish it through.
00:29:06His first made three of the game in just a second attempt.
00:29:09Dave I thought that was the same thing as you.
00:29:12I thought that first hesitation was confidence.
00:29:14That looked like a check swing of a non-confident batter.
00:29:18You saw him nodding his head even after he made it as he was going down floor.
00:29:23Just trying to get out of this funk that he's been in of late.
00:29:28It's a little pick and roll with AJ Mitchell.
00:29:31You see he sees the close on Rudy.
00:29:33Just keep that balance.
00:29:35And he's.
00:29:36I'm telling this young man takes it so serious.
00:29:39He's pursuing greatness.
00:29:41Walks it badly.
00:29:43Another missed free throw for Minnesota.
00:29:45They're 12th as the foul was on Joe.
00:29:48The first team foul here in the quarter.
00:29:53Quality minutes though for Dillingham.
00:29:55They may need him in the postseason.
00:29:57The team that has expectations of getting to a third consecutive Western Conference Finals and maybe further.
00:30:03These are important minutes for him.
00:30:05Played 12 of them and he has eight points off the bench.
00:30:09Four minutes gone by in the fourth.
00:30:13And Joe just lost it out of bounds.
00:30:15See to me again.
00:30:16These should be the minutes without Shea where Jalen Williams, J-Dub, is in command of the offense.
00:30:24And the guy is a third team NBA performer and honestly probably better than that.
00:30:29He's progressing but still no real timetable.
00:30:32And you'll see Jalen Williams coming off that wrist surgery.
00:30:35Gobert with the slam.
00:30:36Reed the find.
00:30:37It's a one point game.
00:30:38Just tremendous.
00:30:39Not as Reed.
00:30:40A guy who can do so many things.
00:30:42Caruso.
00:30:43A hard foul.
00:30:44Gobert making sure he's okay.
00:30:48That's the fourth on Gobert and we'll see if they go to the monitor for potential upgrade.
00:31:07It happened a few seasons ago to Caruso.
00:31:09He broke his wrist on a similar play when he got hit by Grayson Allen.
00:31:14Oh now see this is an airborne player right?
00:31:18The contact to the head it looked like.
00:31:21Yeah.
00:31:22I would imagine that's going to get upgraded.
00:31:25To a flagrant foul.
00:31:27He was pleading his case early with Josh Tiven.
00:31:30Which seems to suggest to me he knew that this was dangerous.
00:31:39He's still he's still pleading his case.
00:31:42Josh has got the headset on Rudy.
00:31:43He can't hear you.
00:31:45Would be two free throws in possession if this is a flagrant foul.
00:31:50Penalty one.
00:31:55Minnesota is arguing that Caruso with his off hand made contact with Gobert.
00:32:03Watch the left hand of Caruso there but.
00:32:05No way.
00:32:06I don't buy that one.
00:32:07I'm not buying that for even a second.
00:32:09No.
00:32:13I think that contact to the head.
00:32:16Airborne player.
00:32:17Four personal fouls on Gobert.
00:32:27It's a one point game with seven and a half to go here in the fourth quarter.
00:32:31Josh Tiven our crew chief.
00:32:32Upon review there is wind up impact and follow through by Gobert to a vulnerable airborne player with potential for injury.
00:32:38The play is being upgraded to a flagrant foul penalty one.
00:32:41The key.
00:32:42Free throws for Caruso.
00:32:43Oklahoma City ball.
00:32:44Free throw line with 24.
00:32:48A technical foul earlier on Gobert and now a flagrant foul penalty one.
00:32:53Also a technical foul and Jayden McDaniels in this game for Minnesota.
00:32:57They've missed 12 free throws yet they're down a point.
00:32:59They're against the best team in the league and the reigning champs.
00:33:08Bird is still trying to make the case about the left hand.
00:33:10It was not even close.
00:33:14Caruso 75 percent free throw shooter on the season.
00:33:18Last year in the regular year didn't play a ton of games was banged up some.
00:33:21But man in the playoffs his minutes went up and you could really see his value in full display.
00:33:27Anybody who watched game seven of the Western Conference Finals and saw him check Nikola Jokic for 40 half court possessions.
00:33:36And the points per play given up and the turnovers drawn.
00:33:40He was absolutely brilliant.
00:33:46Lead is three for the thunder and possession after the flagrant foul on Gobert.
00:33:50Jokic Alexander still on the bench here in the fourth quarter.
00:33:53He's played 31 minutes and has 29 points.
00:33:57Gobert got to be careful not to reach and pick up his fifth foul.
00:34:01Holmgren challenging him keeping that pivot foot down and Gobert got the block.
00:34:07Anthony Edwards back on the court with 17 points just four for 12 from the floor.
00:34:11He'll try a three and it's good.
00:34:13Edwards third three and the game is tied.
00:34:16Much more aggressive as a score down the stretch of this game is in.
00:34:20Mitchell attacking and flossing.
00:34:25How many times have we seen A.J. Mitchell be able to get downhill and get to the cup.
00:34:32Shea is on half court ready to check in next step ball.
00:34:40Three of Edwards five baskets have been three pointers.
00:34:45He'll try the step back.
00:34:46No good that time batted out by Caruso to Mitchell.
00:34:51And looking to push the tempo driving again shielding the defender and scoring with his left hand.
00:35:01You can see here in the fourth why A.J. Mitchell has been so important to the Thunder this season.
00:35:07A bank three by Edwards makes it a one point game.
00:35:10Wow.
00:35:12I don't think he called that day.
00:35:13They will take it.
00:35:17He's up to 23.
00:35:19They get a rare close game for the Thunder.
00:35:21They've been destroying teams this season as Mitchell is fouled.
00:35:25Missed the shot but will go to the line for two.
00:35:28I've been talking about it all night.
00:35:29This guy's mindset is one thing.
00:35:31I'm going to get downhill.
00:35:32That little hesitation.
00:35:34Rudy goes back to his own man.
00:35:35He kind of taps his chest.
00:35:36My mistake to Dante.
00:35:37Meanwhile keep the pressure on.
00:35:40And then watch Anthony Edwards here folks.
00:35:43Not this angle.
00:35:44He's not looking for that.
00:35:46But we'll take it.
00:35:47But he comes back and he does his little celebration.
00:35:49I think if you put it off window not on purpose you can't do that.
00:35:52I'm sure he wants people to think that that's exactly what he tried to do.
00:35:59As Mitchell is two for five at the line.
00:36:02Gilgis Alexander back on the floor.
00:36:05As is Wallace and Hartenstein.
00:36:07Holmgren's going to get a breather here.
00:36:10McDaniels back out there.
00:36:12Gobert will take a seat.
00:36:13Randall on the floor for Minnesota.
00:36:14Midway through the fourth.
00:36:15The Thunder last year set the NBA record with a scoring margin of plus 13.
00:36:21It's plus 17 this year.
00:36:24Yet we've got a two point game.
00:36:26Reid and Randall are on the floor together.
00:36:28Fourth quarter defensive rebounding has been problematic for Minnesota.
00:36:33They've got to be careful with that down the stretch.
00:36:38Randall fakes the three.
00:36:40Drives and kicks.
00:36:41Corner triple read.
00:36:42It's good.
00:36:43And Minnesota has the lead.
00:36:45But that's why you put them on the floor together.
00:36:48Julius' playmaking ability now is shooting.
00:36:52First lead since it was 14-12 but it evaporates in a heartbeat with the Hartenstein stuck.
00:36:59And that's where you get exposed.
00:37:02So if you're Chris Finch you're just trying to navigate both sides with them.
00:37:06Dave Vincenzo penetrates.
00:37:10Got it to McDaniels.
00:37:12Working on Gilgis Alexander.
00:37:14Missed the 12 footer.
00:37:16And then commits a loose ball foul.
00:37:20And they are over the limit now.
00:37:22So not a smart play by McDaniels.
00:37:24It'll be free throws for Gilgis Alexander on the other end.
00:37:29This comes up short.
00:37:31And then in an attempt to go get the offensive rebound.
00:37:33You see Dante pursuing it as well.
00:37:36But you're putting a 90% free throw shooter at the free throw line.
00:37:41Six of seven tonight.
00:37:43Looking for his 30th point.
00:37:45It would be his 16th 30 point game.
00:37:49The most through 19 games since Michael Jordan did it back in 1987.
00:37:53The annual NBA and Christmas Day tradition continues with these five star studded games on ABC, ESPN and the ESPN app plus Cavs Knicks at noon Eastern with a special real time animated version of the game on ESPN 2 and Disney Plus.
00:38:10They pass Doris Burke Katie George here in Oklahoma City.
00:38:15Gilgis Alexander with a game high 31 points and the Thunder lead by three trying to go to 18 and one.
00:38:21Be the fifth team ever to do that in the history of this great league.
00:38:25The last team was Golden State back in 2016 and they set the NBA record with 73 wins.
00:38:32Long two is good for Anthony Edwards.
00:38:35Took a lot of dance in there to shake AJ Mitchell but he's got so much handle and so much ability to be shifty Anthony.
00:38:4325 for Ants.
00:38:46One point game.
00:38:47Gilgis Alexander blocked by Reed.
00:38:50What a foul.
00:38:52Just watch Anthony Edwards work.
00:38:55Back to back 40 point games.
00:38:57Mitchell is up in his grill.
00:38:58He's trying to pressure as much as possible.
00:39:01Trying to prevent the Anthony Edwards get by.
00:39:04He forces him into a tough shot and Anthony is just that good.
00:39:08I mean that hard step into your jump shot just creates so much momentum.
00:39:14He is six for ten from the floor this half Edwards after a one for five first half.
00:39:20A total of 25 points.
00:39:22But Gilgis Alexander back to the line.
00:39:28First meeting for these two teams this season.
00:39:30They played in the conference finals last year with the Thunder of course winning and going on to capture their first NBA title.
00:39:37The crowd booing Rudy Gobert as he comes back in after the hard foul.
00:39:42And he just wryly smiles right there.
00:39:46Reed to the bench.
00:39:49As Gobert returns as you said.
00:39:51And so a three point game thanks to free throws for SGA.
00:39:54He's got 33.
00:39:55Edwards gets past this man.
00:39:57Knocked away from behind though.
00:39:59Up the floor Gilgis Alexander.
00:40:01Drive and kick.
00:40:03Mitchell on the spot.
00:40:04Three.
00:40:05No good.
00:40:06Ball batted out.
00:40:07Edwards is there.
00:40:09Edwards penetrates.
00:40:11Sweet move by Anthony Edwards with the reverse.
00:40:14Not only does he get to move the three white jerseys.
00:40:18But he reverse finishes that.
00:40:20That's ridiculous.
00:40:22One point game with four minutes to go.
00:40:25Gilgis Alexander goes away from the screen.
00:40:27Leans in to Edwards who has called for the foul.
00:40:30That's his third.
00:40:32He had something to say too to Jonathan Sterling.
00:40:36Didn't think that he made contact but SGA at the line nonetheless for two free throws.
00:40:40They're the absolute master at this.
00:40:42Again it's a screen from Hartstein that initiates the action.
00:40:46As soon as he sees that hand come through.
00:40:48I mean that's a foul.
00:40:53Gilgis Alexander now 11 of 12 at the line.
00:40:56And the patience of Mark Degman to like be disciplined with the minutes distribution for Shea.
00:41:05No Jalen Williams.
00:41:07But if you're Mark you're in this for the long game.
00:41:10So those minutes where Shea's getting his rest so he's not fatigued and overburdened.
00:41:15And the team fought and scrapped held the lead.
00:41:18And it's a three point game after two more made free throws for Gilgis Alexander.
00:41:26Take a look at tonight's difference makers brought to you by CarMax.
00:41:29Shea Gilgis Alexander the reigning MVP taking his game to another level whenever his team needs it.
00:41:35Feels like they have won his minutes big this evening.
00:41:39But Anthony Edwards one of the bright young stars.
00:41:42Delivering on the offensive end as both scorer and facilitator.
00:41:46He's been a much more aggressive scorer as the game has worn on.
00:41:52Edwards has 27.
00:41:54Gilgis Alexander has 35.
00:41:56And it's a three point game inside four minutes to play.
00:41:59Minnesota's made nine more threes than Oklahoma City.
00:42:03Make it ten more.
00:42:05And the game is tied.
00:42:07That's Dave Vincenzo nailing it for deep.
00:42:09That great execution.
00:42:11I mean just great execution.
00:42:12A little down screen to free Dante.
00:42:14They are seven of eight from three in the quarter.
00:42:16Dork trying to answer.
00:42:18In and out.
00:42:20Hartenstein.
00:42:21Can't get the put back.
00:42:22Holmgren goes in there.
00:42:24He gets the ball on the floor.
00:42:26And Dagnall calls another timeout while Holmgren has possession.
00:42:31Second time.
00:42:33Quick timeout for Mark just to save a possession.
00:42:35weh goes
00:42:44hot
00:42:45To save a possession.

00:46:59fouled as he was trying to get
00:47:00the offensive rebound.
00:47:02That's the first in the last two
00:47:03minutes, though, so it's going to
00:47:04be another side out of bounds.
00:47:08Good job by Gobert to force the
00:47:12issue, go pursue the basketball.
00:47:16Boy, he's giving as good as he
00:47:18gets in there.
00:47:20They call it on Holmgren, his
00:47:21third.
00:47:23Edwards near midcourt, shot clock
00:47:25inside of ten.
00:47:27Edwards maybe cleared a little
00:47:28space, comes up short, rebound
00:47:30Wallace.
00:47:34He had a clean look.
00:47:38On the switch, Randle's on Gildas
00:47:41Alexander.
00:47:42They double.
00:47:43He finds Holmgren, and the long
00:47:45two is no good.
00:47:46McDaniels tracks down the rebound.
00:47:48Great crackback rebound by
00:47:50McDaniels.
00:47:50It's been so problematic for them.
00:47:52Everybody's got to pitch in.
00:47:54Dave Vincenzo finds Randle for
00:47:56three, way off the mark.
00:47:58And again, Gobert is held, trying
00:48:00to get the offensive rebound.
00:48:01And he'll go to the line.
00:48:03Penalty situation here.
00:48:05Gobert is three of six at the line
00:48:07in the night, as a team, Minnesota
00:48:10has missed 12 foul shots.
00:48:14The bench is thinking about
00:48:15Martin Degno taking a hard look,
00:48:18so tangled up on the other side.
00:48:21He does have a challenge, but the
00:48:23official just gave the ball to
00:48:25Gobert.
00:48:25It's too late to use that last
00:48:27challenge.
00:48:29Fourth foul on Dort.
00:48:30Another missed free throw for Gobert
00:48:34and the Wolves.
00:48:38Missed them both.
00:49:02Holmgren the rebound and a foul
00:49:04called on McDaniels.
00:49:05Homegren will come down to the
00:49:07other end of the floor and shoot
00:49:09free throws for a personal on
00:49:12Jake McDaniels.
00:49:18First trip to the line the night
00:49:20for home room is just three for
00:49:22eleven from the floor.
00:49:23Seven points.
00:49:28Are you going to feel a lot
00:49:29different about your night if you
00:49:31can knock these home.
00:49:32Just 12 points the last two games
00:49:36combined for Chet Holmgren, third
00:49:38year player out of Gonzaga.
00:49:44Calmly knocks down free throw
00:49:46number one.
00:49:46Got the second one and the lead is
00:50:05four just outside a minute to go.
00:50:10Each team with a pair of timeouts.
00:50:12Minnesota out of challenges Oklahoma
00:50:16City has one.
00:50:19Good defense Hardenstein contesting
00:50:21Edwards but it doesn't matter.
00:50:23He drains a three.
00:50:26That is I mean that's just elite
00:50:29folks.
00:50:32Anytime there is a switch and the
00:50:34big is in front of him look out
00:50:37because he's going to get the
00:50:38needed separation.
00:50:38There's the switch it has to happen
00:50:40again the hard plant with the right
00:50:42foot gives him great elevation of
00:50:45momentum into it.
00:50:46Pretty good challenge by Hartenstein.
00:50:48This is just a special gifted
00:50:51offensive look at the elevation.
00:50:53The amount of ground to get up and
00:50:55above that challenge.
00:50:56So good.
00:50:58Edwards has 13 in the fourth.
00:50:59They force Gilchis Alexander to give
00:51:00it up.
00:51:01Now he comes and gets it back with a
00:51:03shot clock down to eight.
00:51:04Timer now at five.
00:51:05Here's Dort with three.
00:51:07Dort drives.
00:51:08Holmgren with two.
00:51:09Lets it fly.
00:51:10And hits.
00:51:11A three.
00:51:12Dave Vincenzo attacks.
00:51:13Good defense.
00:51:14Oklahoma City with a block.
00:51:15Yogis Alexander then fouled by
00:51:17Randall.
00:51:19Good defense.
00:51:20Oklahoma City with a block.
00:51:21Yogis Alexander then fouled by
00:51:22Randall.
00:51:24Good defense.
00:51:25Good defense.
00:51:26Oklahoma City with a block.
00:51:27Yogis Alexander then fouled by
00:51:28Randall.
00:51:30This is the close that you would
00:51:31expect from a team that's come
00:51:34through what Oklahoma City has
00:51:36come through.
00:51:37Look at Dort.
00:51:38You force the ball out of your
00:51:40best players hands.
00:51:41And then how about that vertical
00:51:42challenge.
00:51:43Patience there.
00:51:44Dante is going in.
00:51:45He is entitled to the ball to
00:51:47the ball.
00:51:48And then how about that vertical
00:51:50challenge.
00:51:51Patience there.
00:51:52Dante is going in.
00:51:53He is entitled to the ball to
00:51:54the ball.
00:51:55He is going in.
00:51:56He is entitled to go straight up.
00:51:58And the bench is saying this is
00:52:00what we do.
00:52:04And now Yogis Alexander.
00:52:0537 points.
00:52:0712 of 13 at the line.
00:52:12Trying to make it a six point
00:52:13game but he missed the first.
00:52:14All of the little sequences that
00:52:16have occurred down the stretch to
00:52:18me are what makes Oklahoma City
00:52:21special.
00:52:22You are doing this without your
00:52:24second best player.
00:52:25You got the ball back to this guy.
00:52:28They force it out of his hands
00:52:30again.
00:52:31Lou Dort says I got to go make a
00:52:32play.
00:52:33I got to go make a play.
00:52:34And he does.
00:52:35And Chet who was three for eleven
00:52:37makes the shot.
00:52:38This this team is special.
00:52:40They won a pair of double overtime
00:52:42games to start the year.
00:52:44Then they blew everybody out the
00:52:45rest of the way until tonight.
00:52:47But in a tight game here at home.
00:52:49They have a five point lead with
00:52:50twenty six point eight on the
00:52:51Oklahoma City trying to run its
00:52:53win streak to ten in a row and
00:52:55improve to eighteen and one.
00:52:57They're up by five.
00:53:02And you look at the timeout
00:53:03situation they do have a challenge
00:53:04left.
00:53:05I want you to think about it.
00:53:06Mark Mark had to use two timeouts
00:53:08to get possession saved.
00:53:11This is why using your timeouts
00:53:13wisely as a coach matters.
00:53:17Chris Finch just used one so they
00:53:18could advance the ball into the
00:53:20front court.
00:53:21They have one left.
00:53:22They trail by five.
00:53:25Edwards trying to get the ball
00:53:27and Edwards call for five
00:53:29seconds or make that Randall
00:53:31call for five seconds.
00:53:33Could have used that last time
00:53:35out.
00:53:36They're elected not to.
00:53:38And now Chris Finch saying foul
00:53:39right away.
00:53:41Another turnover by Minnesota.
00:53:49Three straight games where they
00:53:51have not played well in crunch
00:53:53time.
00:53:54Losses to Phoenix.
00:53:57And Sacramento led by eight and
00:53:59ten of those games late and
00:54:00lost.
00:54:01Got within one here late but
00:54:03while Oklahoma City made all the
00:54:05right plays.
00:54:06Minnesota did the opposite and
00:54:07Gilgis Alexander at the line
00:54:08again.
00:54:09All this without Jalen who's
00:54:11progressing who we saw on the
00:54:12court before tonight's game.
00:54:14Doing some things.
00:54:15Saw a post game interview with
00:54:16him where he said remember now I
00:54:18still play.
00:54:20It is remarkable what they're doing
00:54:36considering this is an all star an
00:54:38all NBA player.
00:54:39And yet on both ends of the floor.
00:54:41Oklahoma City looks better than it
00:54:42did last year when it won 68 games
00:54:44and an NBA title.
00:54:48Minnesota down seven they got to go
00:54:49quickly.
00:54:50And Edwards fouled on the drive by
00:54:51Wallace.
00:54:52So that will allow Minnesota to get
00:55:05points with the clock stuck.
00:55:07Only four teams in NBA history have
00:55:10started 18 and one or better.
00:55:13Golden State was the last they were
00:55:1519 and 0 back in 2016.
00:55:17Remember they won 73 that year an
00:55:19NBA record and ended up losing to
00:55:21Cleveland in the finals.
00:55:22Edwards misses a free throw.
00:55:24That's the story of the night for
00:55:25Minnesota.
00:55:26They've missed 15.
00:55:35Whether it's a close game of blowout
00:55:38Shea Gilgis Alexander playing in
00:55:40the fourth quarter tonight.
00:55:41It's only the eighth time all year
00:55:42he's even played in the fourth
00:55:43quarter.
00:55:44Without Jalen Williams or all-star
00:55:46last year with Jalen Williams the
00:55:49Thunder find different ways to win
00:55:51every night.
00:55:52You know there's a reason you hang
00:55:55in and keep playing through this
00:55:57shot.
00:55:58Jeff Holger had been scuffling.
00:56:00Three for eleven.
00:56:01He knocks down a couple of free
00:56:03throws the ball finds him on a
00:56:04three-point shot.
00:56:05You don't hang your head.
00:56:07You just stay in it.
00:56:12They've started that Golden State
00:56:13Houston game.
00:56:14This been a little knockdown drag
00:56:15out lots of reviews technical
00:56:18fouls.
00:56:19This is almost two hours and 45
00:56:24minutes for this game here
00:56:27tonight but Oklahoma City again
00:56:31playing like a champion down the
00:56:33stretch.
00:56:34Yeah.
00:56:35Starting with their MVP.
00:56:36I think Minnesota can take a lot
00:56:38of good things from what happened.
00:56:39I know the turnovers will frustrate
00:56:40them because it's been an at issue.
00:56:42The lack of the point guard with
00:56:43experience that you can run out there
00:56:45for 30, 32 minutes a night is
00:56:47hurting them.
00:56:48But you competed all night.
00:56:49You know you had two disastrous
00:56:51wins.
00:56:52But you didn't give up the ship.
00:56:53And so often I'll say it again
00:56:55Oklahoma City can break your will.
00:56:57And that did not happen for
00:56:58Minnesota tonight.
00:56:59With the loss the wolves would fall the
00:57:01ten and eight would be their third
00:57:02straight defeat.
00:57:06Oklahoma City with Detroit losing
00:57:07tonight.
00:57:08And the 13 game win streak for the
00:57:09Pistons coming to an end.
00:57:10Oklahoma City with a win would have
00:57:11the longest win streak in the
00:57:12NBA right now with ten in a row.
00:57:14Here's Holmgren to Dort for the
00:57:15exclamation point.
00:57:16And an Oklahoma City win here
00:57:17tonight.
00:57:18And NBA Cup action.
00:57:20Three missed the three.
00:57:21And it's the three.
00:57:22And it's the two to the three.
00:57:23And it's the eight to the three.
00:57:24And it's the three.
00:57:25And it's the three.
00:57:26And it's the three.
00:57:27And it's the three to be their
00:57:28third straight defeat.
00:57:29Oklahoma City with Detroit losing
00:57:31tonight and the 13 game win
00:57:33streak for the Pistons coming to
00:57:34an end.
00:57:35Oklahoma City with a win would have
00:57:38the longest win streak in the
00:57:39NBA right now with ten in a row.
00:57:41And it's the three.
