00:00The big fact was between them they made 27 out of 31 foul shots.
00:06Can they do that again?
00:08Arden once again is leading the league in foul shot attempts and foul shot makes over 10 a game.
00:14And he gets that three to go coach with two seconds to go on the shot clock.
00:18Which was characterized by Mike D'Antoni, their head coach, as the worst slump that he's seen in his three and a half years in Houston.
00:25But he's out of it now as Marcus Smart counters with a three of his own.
00:29Westbrook chasing down the rebound.
00:34And he keeps it himself.
00:36Move to the basket, but a rotating man will be there.
00:39Do you have the floater again?
00:41Boy, Jalen Brown aggressive here in the first quarter.
00:44Rebounding and then becoming a great defender.
00:47Eric Gordon back in action.
00:49Passes it to Westbrook.
00:51And Westbrook knocks down the three.
00:53A rare three-pointer for him.
00:54One of the highest percentages in the league on corner threes a year ago.
00:58Smart with a little faith.
01:00Goes around the world into the bucket.
01:03If you keep your dribble here tonight.
01:05On February 1st before a game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
01:08Tatum and his trainer were driving to his mom's place before a workout as Hayward gets to the bucket.
01:14And they stopped at mom's place.
01:15Jalen Brown is 4 for 6 from the field right now.
01:19Looking good, but remember we told you now, his defense is excellent.
01:23Boy, Russell Westbrook and one!
01:25Getting to the bucket again at 79% from the stripe this year.
01:30Westbrook playing arguably his best basketball since joining Houston.
01:34And there's the first field goal of the game for Jason Tatum at three balls.
01:38Let's keep them from getting to the rim.
01:41Westbrook right now, 10 of his 13 points are in the paint.
01:44Jalen Brown off glass.
01:46Boy, he's got a nice touch here in the first half.
01:48Definitely fouled up that shot release.
01:51Jeff Green has only been with the rocket for a couple of weeks.
01:53And Tatum now finishing successfully at the rip.
01:58In the old days, that would have cost you $2,000.
02:00And Russell Westbrook got all the way to the bottom.
02:06B.J. Tucker, one of the top defenders on this team.
02:08See, this is it right now.
02:09See, it looks like a match.
02:11Jason Tatum, a step back three.
02:14Harden working against OJ.
02:17Nice stand right there.
02:18That's the ground.
02:19Fouled and won a potential four-point play for James Harden.
02:24I'm telling you, the Celtics are very impressive now with the rotations to help out.
02:29Hayward inside with a nice bucket.
02:32Gordon Hayward, he's the guy that not many people are talking about right now,
02:36but he's got eight points in this game.
02:38And in a blur, Westbrook.
02:44Kick out to Covington from deep.
02:46And he drills it.
02:48Covington has been a great addition to this team.
02:51Back comes Harden with under two minutes to go here in the first half.
02:56Oversmart.
02:57Yes.
02:58You need to feel it a little bit.
03:00That was Brad Stephens' contention that they talk about Houston's small ball.
03:04As Smart drops a Smart bomb over Covington.
03:08They've got a two-for-one situation if they want it.
03:10Westbrook.
03:12Nice little pull-up.
03:14And gets it to go off one foot.
03:17Hayward gets into the paint again.
03:19Got rigged by P.J. Tucker.
03:21Took it right from it.
03:23Great defense.
03:24Covington walks into a three and drills it.
03:27See, he can do that.
03:28Covington had the shot clock buzzer.
03:31And Tatum boards it.
03:32Oh, he got it.
03:34Quickly up to Brown.
03:36And Brown got it over two defenders.
03:39Without Embiid and Ben Simmons.
03:41Next man up for them.
03:44Tatum from deep.
03:46The lead back up to 11 for Boston.
03:49Tatum with 15.
03:51Westbrook goes quickly.
03:52That's what he does.
03:54Punches it over tight.
03:55I'll tell you what he did.
03:56His field goal attempts have gone up during the month of February to 20.
04:01But so has his efficiency.
04:02And speaking of efficiency, P.J. Tucker makes it a three-point game.
04:06It's like that energy they had for a quarter and a half.
04:09Tatum lost it in traffic.
04:11Here's a two-on-one.
04:12Harden against Smart.
04:14House.
04:15Say it with your chest.
04:16Competing in the paint.
04:18Not allowing the Celtics to get a good look at the rim.
04:22Harden for the lead.
04:24Butter.
04:25And Houston leads it.
04:27Supporter.
04:27Nice steal.
04:28Off the steal.
04:29Hayward got in the passing lane.
04:30Harden takes it back.
04:32What a great play by Harden.
04:34Corner three.
04:35That's Tucker's shot.
04:36Yep.
04:37By Harden.
04:37That was a terrific defensive play.
04:40Nine points for Tucker.
04:42Jalen Brown with a mismatch over Austin Rivers.
04:45See, you can't miss those guys.
04:48Harden on the drive-by.
04:49Kicks it out to Rivers.
04:51Extra pass.
04:51Gordon from deep.
04:52Oh, that was beautiful.
04:53And they finally cash it.
04:54Hayward bounced it off his foot.
04:56This is the largest lead of the game for Houston.
04:59Tatum with five on the shot clock.
05:01Nice spin move.
05:02And a lefty finish.
05:03Boy, his game.
05:05Not too good against a team like this.
05:08With this firepower.
05:09Not going to work.
05:10Westbrook with the left hand.
05:11Oh, that's a little bit of sauce.
05:13One and done.
05:14Westbrook in the open court.
05:16But they get back in transition.
05:18There's a push-off.
05:19Over Ojalee and got it to ball.
05:21Russell Westbrook with 33.
05:23Five-point ball game.
05:26Covington on Tatum.
05:28Step back three on the way.
05:30Got it.
05:32He measured it.
05:34A chance for the tie for Boston here.
05:36I've played big here.
05:38Tatum downhill.
05:40Scooped it in.
05:41Tie game.
05:42Great move.
05:43JT Money.
05:46Leading the NBA and scoring it of over 35 per.
05:49Got in his blender.
05:51And Williams and a foul.
05:53By House.
05:55And two green shirts right there.
06:00House inbounds to Tucker.
06:02Great back to our prize.
06:03That was a design play.
06:05More important.
06:06The pass was right there.
06:07Tucker blocked by Tice.
06:08Now you've got to get a score here now.
06:10You've got numbers here.
06:12Smart for three.
06:14Yes.
06:15Offensive rebound.
06:16Four on the clock for Harden.
06:17He's got to get to work.
06:19Covington on the drive.
06:21By Tice with the left.
06:23Slid right by Tice.
06:24Three for six.
06:25See what they do at his timeout.
06:27They post up Tatum against Covington.
06:29Good call by Brad Stevens.
06:31They get it to him.
06:32And he goes to work.
06:33The lead down to three.
06:34And Tice clears the glass.
06:36Just push now.
06:37Just keep pushing.
06:38And look inside.
06:39Takes it all the way to the cup.
06:40And he's smart.
06:44Harden blows by Tatum.
06:46He kicks it out.
06:46Tucker.
06:48Crystal.
06:50Ruthless.
06:51Rude.
06:51And Russ.
06:53Marcus Smart on Harden.
06:56And he turns it over.
06:57There's a break.
06:59Back to Hayward.
07:01And Smart puts it home.
07:02He's down to a three-point gate.
07:04Here we go.
07:04Covington inbounds to Westbrook.
07:06And he's fouled by Marcus Smart.
07:08So now Westbrook will go to the free throw line.
07:13And there's a break for you right there.
07:19They've got to keep P.J. Tucker off the glass.
07:21It doesn't matter.
07:23Using up a lot of time here.
07:25That's a start.
07:25You want to score.
07:27Smart for three.
07:28Got it!
07:29Okay.
07:29It's a one-point game with 9.8.
07:31No timeout.
07:32There it is.
07:32Westbrook fouled by Tice.
07:38Westbrook goes two for two.
07:39And it's a three-point game.
07:40Tatum gets open.
07:43Guarded by Tucker.
07:45Six to go.
07:46And Tucker fouls him.
07:48The lefty.
07:49Miss to the right.
07:50Or do you hit the front of the rim?
07:51Oh, he missed the first.
07:52They cannot inbounds the ball.
07:54Just call the timeout.
07:56Tatum hit the rim on the miss intentionally.
07:58Loose ball.
07:59Brown for the tie!
08:01Oh, man!
08:02Miracle here!
08:04And TD!
08:06Five at the backfield.
08:08Hayward knocked it away.
08:09New 24.
08:12Tatum on the blow-by.
08:14Beautiful.
08:19Tough shot by Westbrook.
08:21Counted!
08:22Oh, my.
08:22Russ with another highlight.
08:24Oh, he gave him an outlet.
08:25Hit him with the hit and out.
08:26What a block by Tatum.
08:28It's a three-on-one.
08:30Hayward with the layup.
08:31Now, come on.
08:33Terrific block.
08:34Talk about Tatum's offense.
08:36Defensively, he's improved as well.
08:38Harden got all the way to the cup.
08:41Tatum guarded by Harden.
08:45Into Tice.
08:46Slams it home.
08:49Couldn't turn the corner.
08:51Finds Hayward!
08:53Good look.
08:53Loose ball.
08:54Smart comes out with it.
08:55Then he gets stripped.
08:56Houston gets it.
08:58There's a six-second difference between shot and game clock.
09:01Harden into Tice.
09:03And it got stuck.
09:05And he called it.
09:06But he got a foul.
09:08They've done a great job keeping James Harden off the foul line tonight.
09:13They've got to make a move here.
09:15Pulls up on Covington.
09:16Step back on the way for the game.
09:19Tice with the loose ball.
09:21And they won't get it off.
09:22Houston rides into Boston and wins it.
09:26111-110 in overtime.
