00:00:43Crack it up!
00:00:44Welcome to this NBA Exhibition Matchup here in Indianapolis, Indiana.
00:01:00The visiting Los Angeles Rakers will face off against the Bulls here on 2K Sports.
00:01:07Evening, everyone, along with Kenny Smith and Craig Sagan.
00:01:10This is Kevin Harlan.
00:01:13Well, both of these teams have some outstanding ball handlers, Kevin.
00:01:16If you love the killer cross over, the spin moves, and all the shaking bakes, this is the game to watch.
00:01:22As the teams get ready to go, let's check out the key matchup of the game.
00:01:27Kenny?
00:01:27Well, Kevin, I'm interested to see who comes out on top in this matchup at the small forward position.
00:01:35Deng is an excellent small forward.
00:01:37He's such a hard worker.
00:01:38He can do a little bit of everything.
00:01:40A great competitor, no question.
00:01:42His opponent on the other end is no slouch either.
00:01:44Walton is a very capable small forward.
00:01:49This guy has such a will to win.
00:01:51He loves the game of basketball and never stops working to improve.
00:01:56Now, let's take a quick look at the starting lineups as we're just about ready to get this one started.
00:02:01The Bulls deliver the ball very well.
00:02:03They can break down the defense.
00:02:05The Lakers box out well on defense, so they don't yield many second-champ wins.
00:02:09Thanks, Kenny.
00:02:10And without further ado, it looks like we're setting up for the tip-off.
00:02:14The Bulls get the tip, and we're underway.
00:02:25Swings it to Gordon.
00:02:28The pass to Deng.
00:02:36Passes to Heinrich.
