03:12Это как сцена Бэтч и hydrated,
03:15и это просто...
03:16и выражение.
03:18Да, вы смотрите.
03:20It's для этого проточения.
03:22На эти театра быть человеком

03:33и этого явно,
03:34disappровали,
03:35потому что он полностью
03:37The main thing is going to be awesome.
03:38I mean, Jared Vanderbilt and Mark DeSmartin have been there.
03:41Who are the other guys like Gabe Vinson?
03:43Are they going to step in and play those roles?
03:44They have to stop De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Council
03:46because there's going to be a lot of mishmatch problems
03:48when you get the ball off the rim and push it in transition,
03:51especially when you've got to worry about those guards.
03:53And the Lakers currently rank last in the league
03:57in average speed on defense.
03:59Uh-oh.
04:00Yes.
04:01Go ahead.
04:02Say it again.
04:03Not the swiftest of feet.
04:05Of foot.
04:06Or feet.
04:08We'll think of many Shakespearean ways to say the Lakers
04:12got to get better on defense.
04:14They're going to have their hands full.
04:16They better slide them puppies tonight.
04:17Slide them puppies.
04:18All right.
04:19Right now, let's send you on out to crypto.
04:27Nights like tonight feel different.
04:31It's not about tomorrow.
04:32It's not about legacies.
04:3448 minutes to prove you belong.
04:39And they don't.
04:41Spurs.
04:43That's an incredible shot.
04:45Lakers.
04:46He is a machine.
04:47One game.
04:50One chance to survive.
04:52This is the knockout round.
04:54The Emirates NBA Cup.
04:56On Prime.
04:56We welcome you to the Emirates NBA Cup quarterfinals here on Prime.
05:06The Los Angeles Lakers won Group B in the West.
05:10Went 4-0 to make it to the quarters.
05:14As the Lakers meet the San Antonio Spurs, who won Group C.
05:19Went 3-1 to get here.
05:22Everett's NBA Cup here on Prime.
05:28The Lakers hosting the Spurs.
05:32Spurs interaction at 16-7.
05:35And I think they've surprised a bunch of people around the NBA.
05:38Ian Eagle, Stan Van Gundy, Cassidy Hubbard.
05:40Moments away from the opening tip.
05:41What is the key part of this matchup that you're looking towards tonight?
05:45Well, the guard matchups, how does San Antonio defend Doncic and Reeves?
05:51But on the other end, can the Lakers keep these quick Spurs guards out of the paint?
05:56All right, let's check out our Spectrum starting lineups for San Antonio.
06:01No Victor Webin.
06:02Llama, he is going to miss his 12th straight game.
06:05Along with Barnes and Cornette, the Lakers, the scoring possibilities here.
06:26What Austin Reeves has done this season, stepping up his game.
06:30J.J. Watt, what is he looking for?
06:32Better defense.
06:33Yeah, absolutely.
06:34They're a bottom 10 defensive team.
06:36And our guys in the studio have talked about it.
06:39That's their big challenge this year.
06:42And for the Spurs, Mitch Johnson, 38 years old.
06:47You could feel the big step that this organization has taken,
06:53seeing all of the pieces come together.
06:55The acquisition of De'Aaron Fox last year.
06:58And then some additions, key ones.
07:00Still in Harper, the rookie, drafted second overall.
07:03Luke Cornett has become a major contributor now in the starting job
07:07because of the injury to Webin Yama.
07:11Lakers are 17-6.
07:13They are tied with Denver for second place in the Western Conference
07:19as Oklahoma City is just running away with it in the West.
07:23Yeah, everybody talks about the depth in the West and how competitive it is.
07:27And it is if you're talking about the fight for second place.
07:31But no one has been close to the Thunder.
07:34I mean, what they did tonight was just unbelievable.
07:39Lakers control the tip.
07:40We're underway.
07:41Winner goes to Vegas.
07:43Emmerich, NBA Cup quarterfinals.
07:45Doncic tried to lob it up to Aiton.
07:48He had to adjust.
07:49Reeves, the jumper, too strong.
07:51LeBron got his hands on it and knocked out of bounds.
07:54Our officiating crew tonight,
07:55John Goble, John Butler, and Brandon Schwab.
07:59San Antonio is coming off a tight win in New Orleans on Monday night.
08:08Barnes led the way with 24 points.
08:11The sell.
08:12Teardrop no.
08:14And cleared by Aiton.
08:19Hachimura swing.
08:20Ball movement leads to Reeves.
08:23Thought about a step back three.
08:24Now it's in isolation.
08:26LeBron against Barnes.
08:29Connects.
08:30Well, and we'll see a lot of that isolation.
08:33The Lakers actually throw the fewest passes per game in the NBA.
08:39And yet have a 17-6 record.
08:42So what's working for L.A.?
08:44Good, yeah.
08:45I mean, because they've got three of the best shot creators in the NBA.
08:51Castle with the off-balance delivery.
08:53He draws the foul.
08:54I love it when LeBron posts and isolates.
08:57I actually think he can do it more.
09:01I like San Antonio, though, playing him one-on-one.
09:04I would still rather make LeBron be a scorer, Ryan,
09:08than allow him to create for all of his teammates.
09:11And LeBron James picks up the personal.
09:13Castle to the free-throw line.
09:16Castle recently returning from a hip injury,
09:19and he's jumped right back in there, filling up the box score.
09:25He won Rookie of the Year last season,
09:27and the numbers are better across the board.
09:30No question.
09:32And look, that's going to provide the challenge for the Lakers tonight.
09:35Can they guard these guys off the dribble?
09:38Steve Nash made the point last night
09:40that the Lakers are not the fleetest of foot.
09:43Yeah, that was a really nice way of saying it.
09:45Steve's a very nice guy.
09:46Well, he is. He's Canadian, just naturally nice.
09:49Aiton floats it in.
09:51Well, that's what I'm talking about right there.
09:53The Lakers forced the switch on the LeBron pick-and-roll,
09:56and as they come to help, he's able to find Aiton.
10:00Fox a three, bottom.
10:03Well, it used to be you could go under pick-and-rolls on De'Aaron Fox.
10:08No more.
10:08Shooting 38% from there coming in.
10:11Doncic protects.
10:13Over Castle for two.
10:15And this is something to watch, Ian.
10:18Can the Spurs, as good as he is defensively,
10:21can they play in that drop coverage with Luke Cornett against Luka Doncic?
10:25He just destroys drop coverage.
10:28Fox puts it up over James and hits.
10:31These two teams played November 6th.
10:36The Lakers beat the Spurs 118-116.
10:39Luka went for 35 points, 13 assists, 9 rebounds.
10:43Reeves nearly lost it.
10:45Aiton fills and scores.
10:47And again, drop coverage there against Reeves.
10:51It's just really, really difficult.
10:53Guards have gotten so good against that coverage.
10:56Barnes, it bounces off the rim.
10:59Doncic!
11:01Barnes got his hand on it and knocks it out of bounds.
11:05Well, they're using LeBron as a screener in pick-and-rolls a lot.
11:08He draws the switch.
11:10Cornett comes over early to help.
11:12LeBron just touches the ball right away to Aiton for the bucket.
11:15Lakers open up 4 of 5 from the field.
11:18They've got a 1-point lead on San Antonio.
11:21Lakers were down by 10 against Philadelphia.
11:24Came back to win that one.
11:26Doncic hangs, gets the roll, and the foul.
11:30Again, the drop coverage to me,
11:33look, I don't care how good you are in it.
11:36I think Cornett's a great defender.
11:38There's just too many options for Luka Doncic here.
11:42He's basically 2-on-1 at Cornett.
11:45But I think Cornett's either going to have to be up
11:47or they're going to have to switch that and take their chances.
11:51They get Castle with the foul.
11:53Doncic converts at the line.
11:54Lakers extend the lead 11-7.
11:57They've made their last 5 shots.
12:01Doncic already with 5.
12:03Leaves the NBA.
12:04Scoring over 13 points a game in the first quarter.
12:08Castle on a kick.
12:10Spread it for Fox.
12:11Swing it for Barnes.
12:13The fly by Doncic.
12:14And Barnes can't make them pay.
12:17A terrific effort there by Castle.
12:19But the Lakers come away with it.
12:21Reeves lob it up.
12:23For James the catch and release for 2.
12:26Yeah.
12:26The Lakers don't run conventional fast break.
12:30But what they do all the time is contest on the perimeter.
12:34And then that guy runs out and seals at the rim.
12:38We will see that all night long with the Lakers.
12:40And they've got guys capable of making that pass.
12:43One and done off the miss by Vassell.
12:45Early offense.
12:47The catch.
12:48Ayton couldn't get a clean look.
12:50That's already the 3rd time they've looked for that.
12:53Spurs are running.
12:55Fox.
12:55Little shake and bake.
12:56Kick.
12:57Vassell.
12:57It's got the green light.
12:58But can't hit the 3.
13:00Doncic uncontested rebound.
13:0313-7 Lakers.
13:04Spurs are 2 of 7 from the field.
13:06Hachimura sets a screen.
13:10They switch.
13:11Vassell.
13:13Knocks it away.
13:14And creates a turnover.
13:15Castle forcing the action.
13:17Gets around.
13:18Doncic for 2.
13:19That was shifty.
13:22They've got some explosive guys off the dribble.
13:27Dylan Harper will come in off the bench.
13:29They've got 4 guards.
13:31That all can get the ball in the paint at will.
13:34Aiden off the bounce from Reeves.
13:37He hits.
13:39Yeah, look.
13:39The Lakers lead the league in points off a pick and roll.
13:43I just don't think that drop coverage, Ian, is going to last.
13:48Spurs come in 16th in the NBA in defensive rating.
13:53Castle misses it from the outside.
13:56Well, they're great defensively when they have Wimbanyama.
14:00And one of the worst teams in the league defensively
14:02when they don't have Wimbanyama.
14:04The miss by LeBron.
14:05Upstairs.
14:06Aiden knocks it away.
14:07He was trying to hit Cornette on the alley-oop.
14:11Doncic fends off on Castle.
14:14We're going to hit the 7-minute mark of this opening quarter.
14:17Step back.
14:18Jay rims out.
14:20Doncic wanted a call down low.
14:23Spurs run with Castle.
14:24Billy maneuvers for the bucket and the arm.
14:30Stefan Castle's got a quick six.
14:33And he'll go to the free throw line when we come back.
14:38In the game, they contest the shot.
14:41And then they run to the rim and look to seal and use their mismatch.
14:45Watch James just seal in the smaller Vassell.
14:48Excellent pass by Reeves.
14:51But the other way, Castle is just going by people.
14:55His third drive to the rim tonight and back at the free throw line again.
15:02Castle converts.
15:04Three-point play.
15:05Cuts it to three.
15:06J.J. Redick has sent Gabe Vincent into the game.
15:11And Dylan Harper, the rookie out of Rutgers, seeing his first action coming off a terrific
15:15outing in the Spurs' victory over New Orleans.
15:19Everything dropping Hachimura from long range.
15:23Well, again, against the drop coverage, Luka's downhill.
15:27Now they're rotating over to help on DeAndre Ayton on the roll.
15:32Nobody makes that skip pass to the corner better than Doncic does.
15:36Barnes got a three.
15:39This has really been a renaissance for Harrison Barnes.
15:44And the way that Mitch Johnson described it, the fact that Barnes can bring stability, consistency, continuity.
15:52He's all of those things.
15:54Doncic to miss.
15:56Knock it ahead for Vassell.
15:58Well, and with all the injuries they've had this year, having somebody you can count on to be there every night and produce has been huge for them.
16:08Travel Vassell on his drive to the rim turns it over.
16:13Let's get more from Cassidy.
16:14Yeah, and Barnes is known as the senator and has become the Spurs' built-in mentor.
16:19Carter Bryant said, the HB has done a great job of showing me the ropes, the same routine, the same stretch routine, doing my workout the same exact way.
16:27And he keeps the standards high for this group of young guys, guys.
16:31Bryant is the rookie out of Arizona.
16:33Turnover.
16:33Lakers.
16:34Harper takes it himself.
16:36And switches to the offhand.
16:37But he's basically ambidextrous.
16:40He really is.
16:42That's something Mitch Johnson was talking about before the game.
16:46Doncic got caught in no man's land.
16:48Aiton clears.
16:50And Reeves is fouled by Harper.
16:54Check out the national TV schedule coming up Friday on NBA TV.
16:58The Hawks meet the Pistons.
17:00And the Timberwolves take on the Warriors.
17:03Saturday, we've got you covered.
17:04For Emirates NBA Cup semifinal action, the Magic and the Knicks.
17:09That'll be followed by the West semifinals with the Thunder and the survivor of this one as Reeves just took a shot to the face.
17:20Foul called.
17:23It's Stephon Castle.
17:25Spurs make a couple more changes as Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagny have both checked in.
17:32And now Fox will replace Castle as he picked up his second personal.
17:37Yeah, and Castle's off to a great start offensively, so that's significant.
17:42The Lakers get to the line a lot, draw a lot of fouls.
17:46But the San Antonio bench with a huge advantage.
17:50The Lakers last in bench scoring.
17:52San Antonio, eight.
17:53The Lakers come in, 24.2 points per game off the bench.
18:01Foul is called on Harper, so that is two quickies on Harper.
18:07San Antonio, 39 points off the bench.
18:10And keep in mind, they've had to piecemeal it without Victor Webin-Yama.
18:15Absolutely.
18:16And the other night against New Orleans, 68 points off the bench.
18:21All four of their main guys off the bench in double figures.
18:26It's 14 fouls now against San Antonio.
18:28And the return of Marcus Smart for the Los Angeles Lakers.
18:33He has missed the last six games dealing with back issues.
18:40He's missed nine games overall, and the hope is he can come in and help solidify the defense for L.A.
18:46Well, and they need that.
18:47As we said earlier, bottom ten defense.
18:50This guy's a former defensive player of the year.
18:53But injuries have been a major problem since he left Boston over two years ago.
18:58Champs-Penny's put together a nice season so far.
19:01Donchik just missed a pair of free throws.
19:05Johnson crossing.
19:07Pirouettes.
19:08Puts it up.
19:09It was challenged there by Aiton.
19:11That forced him to alter the shot.
19:14Logoland.
19:15Bottom.
19:17Luka Donchik with a long-range bomb.
19:21He's third in the league in three-pointers made.
19:25Harper off the drive.
19:26He could not shovel it in.
19:28But he is going to the free throw line.
19:31I mean, this is deep.
19:36Just an easy pass, Austin Reeves.
19:40I like that Donchik is shooting a few more of those off the catch.
19:44You know, in the past, he loved to put the ball down.
19:47He liked the rhythm off the dribble.
19:49Well, you touched on it, Stan.
19:53Prime insights.
19:54What Luka Doncic has done in the first quarter and in the first half.
19:58Just put that into context.
20:00Well, there's only like 80-some guys in the league who average 13 points a game.
20:07And there's only 28 guys in the league who average 21 points a game.
20:12And he's doing it first quarter, first half.
20:15And it's phenomenal what this guy's doing this year.
20:19Harper recognized that that may be off.
20:23And he's got that innate ability to know what play to make and when.
20:29And I looked at J.J. Redick after that and was one of those looks of, why did I want to do this for a job?
20:38He did have the headset.
20:40He was quite good at it.
20:41He didn't lose any games that year.
20:43No, undefeated.
20:43Swing it around.
20:47Spurs can take the lead here with just over four minutes to go in the first.
20:52Fox does step back.
20:53J. doesn't go.
20:55Two new bigs are in there.
20:57Olenek for San Antonio.
20:59Pays for L.A.
21:01Doncic's got the matchup against Olenek.
21:04Oh, Luka Doncic splash.
21:07He nearly busted Olenek's ankles.
21:09Timeout taken.
21:1511 for Doncic.
21:16I mean, this is incredible.
21:18Tough matchup for Olenek.
21:19Just creates step.
21:21Stops back.
21:22Knocks it down.
21:29I'm going to challenge us.
21:31Regardless of outcome.
21:33Pick up.
21:34Make or miss.
21:35Pace.
21:36Push the pace.
21:37We can't get caught up in.
21:38Do we get a stop or do we get a score?
21:41Is the ball inbound or out of bounds?
21:43We want to run.
21:44We want to dictate the identity of the game, which is fast.
21:49And we've got prime access with both head coaches tonight.
21:52Right.
21:52And we know that that's what San Antonio wants to do.
21:55Mitch Johnson wants them out running.
21:57They're the quicker, more athletic team.
22:00The faster the pace, the better for the Spurs.
22:03And they have seven fast break points as we hit the 345 mark of the first.
22:08Out of the timeout.
22:10Johnson attacks and puts it in off the window.
22:15Well, that's what they want to do when they're not in transition.
22:19They want to keep attacking the rim.
22:21They're going to challenge the fleetness of foot, as Steve Nash says, of the Lakers.
22:26Reeves is averaging 28.4 points per game.
22:30Smart.
22:32Puts it upstairs.
22:33Donchich is there and it rims out.
22:35It's 5-on-4.
22:39Olenek find the open man.
22:41Harper.
22:42No good.
22:43Tip-in goes.
22:44Excellent effort by Keldon Johnson.
22:46Well, that's the second time tonight that Donchich has not gotten back defensively because he's complaining about a non-call.
22:55That has to stop.
22:56Reeves on a zigzag move for two.
23:0126-24.
23:02First bucket of the game for Austin Reeves.
23:04Keldon Johnson has been averaging 13 points, 6.5 rebounds per game.
23:11You've got Fassell averaging 15.7 points.
23:14Castle 17.4.
23:16And a foul out front.
23:17And Champagny's at 11.2 per game.
23:21And this is Austin Reeves taking the ball to the rim.
23:25J.J. Reddick's talked about how he's gotten stronger and that has made him a much better finisher.
23:31He's shooting 83% in the restricted area.
23:36That's incredible.
23:37The league average is 70%.
23:39Luka Doncic, 94% in the restricted area.
23:43LeBron James back in.
23:45He's joined by Jake LaRavia.
23:47Olenek.
23:48Hayes didn't bite on the up fake.
23:50Walking the tightrope.
23:52A grenade to Champagny.
23:54And he nearly made the three.
23:55Long rebound to Johnson.
23:57He fires and hits.
23:58Delta Johnson's efficiency this year has been incredible.
24:03Tipped in the league in field goal percentage coming in at 58%.
24:07Doncic forced to give it up.
24:09Smart.
24:10Open look.
24:11Air ball.
24:11Caught by Hayes.
24:12Clear to James.
24:14No look.
24:15Doncic.
24:16Drive.
24:17Spin.
24:18Short.
24:19And Doncic took a shot to the head.
24:23That was an obvious foul that was missed there.
24:26Harper crosses over and gets inside for another deuce.
24:30Well, the Lakers having trouble keeping up in transition right now.
24:34And that's a problem they've had in the past.
24:39It's a 12-5 extended run.
24:42And a technical has been called.
24:46Doncic got hit right across the face.
24:51And Luka just got called for the tee.
24:53John Butler called the technical.
24:55But look.
24:56You missed an obvious call.
24:58I think we should be able to rescind the technical on that.
25:02You send it into the league office.
25:04And just say, look, we missed it.
25:06The guys should be able to say something.
25:08What about the point they just scored?
25:10Can they rescind that?
25:10They should.
25:12Well, absolutely.
25:13There should not be a technical foul if you're right.
25:18And Luka still steamed and having a tough time with that right eye.
25:2630-26, San Antonio.
25:29Inside, LeBron James scores.
25:31Keldon Johnson's in some paint.
25:33Well, De'Aaron Fox switched on to James.
25:36Lakers excellent at recognizing the mismatches in the paint.
25:40That was an easy win for James.
25:42Fox gets into it quickly here.
25:44He's got the mismatch with Hayes.
25:45Swing it.
25:46Harper.
25:47He'll take and miss the jump shot.
25:51Rebound to Doncic.
25:53Ahead for James.
25:54And LeBron loses it because Johnson got a piece from behind.
25:59Well, they picked up and pressured even off the miss.
26:02Keldon Johnson is feeling it.
26:04The Spurs doing exactly what Mitch Johnson wants in terms of the pressure and the pace of this game so far.
26:12Ten points in four minutes for Keldon Johnson and another rebound for him as well off the miss by Doncic.
26:22Under a minute to go here in the first.
26:2633-28, Spurs.
26:30Harper takes his time.
26:31Fox lines it up.
26:33Knocks it down.
26:34A tray.
26:35They open up an eight-point lead.
26:44Smart gets to the rim and banks it in with a left hand.
26:47That's a tough shot, but that's what you have to do against pressure.
26:49You have to go buy it.
26:54Mark is smart now and in his 12th year in the NBA.
26:58We do have both head coaches mic'd up tonight.
27:10Inside.
27:11Harper.
27:11Kick.
27:13Johnson.
27:14It's shooting practice.
27:15Keldon Johnson is in the zone.
27:2113 points.
27:23LaRabia comes up well short at the end of the opening quarter.
27:28Keldon Johnson is smoking hot.
27:31They've got a nine-point lead.
27:32He came into tonight shooting 32% from three, taking fewer than three a game.
27:38He's already three for three from three in the first quarter tonight.
27:51Welcome back.
27:52Keldon Johnson seems motivated to get to Vegas in this one.
27:55And this morning, he told me he already has a good idea of what he'd buy with the NBA Cup prize money.
28:01A llama for Longhorn Ranch.
28:03The property he owns about 45 minutes outside San Antonio.
28:07Right now, he already is taking care of 11 goats, four cows, two horses, a donkey, and six chickens.
28:13No staff.
28:14Just him.
28:14His family.
28:15His best friends running the whole play.
28:17So, a llama, that would be a big flex, guys.
28:20What do you think?
28:20Yeah.
28:21How much does a good llama go for these days?
28:23You know what?
28:24I haven't checked that market in quite a while.
28:27Google it.
28:29James missed it from the outside.
28:31Castle swing.
28:33Keldon Johnson, 13 points in five first quarter minutes.
28:39And out of bounds.
28:40Fox turnover.
28:42Well, going against Gabe Vincent, one of the guys on the Lakers who can move his feet.
28:47But now John Butler says, no, we've got to kick the ball.
28:51They're going to get a kick on Gabe Vincent.
28:54So, they were ready to send it the other way.
28:57Spurs will retain it.
28:59Barnes comes in.
29:00And Johnson will sit.
29:03Also has five rebounds to go along with his prolific scoring.
29:08He really wants that llama.
29:10That's the motivation.
29:14Barnes, swing.
29:15Fox, off the rim.
29:18Well, this will be interesting.
29:19The Lakers go in zone now.
29:20Second half the other night against New Orleans.
29:23San Antonio really struggled against the Pelican zone.
29:28Tough catch for Ayton.
29:29Reeves will let it fly.
29:32Missed it.
29:33Rebounded by Champenny.
29:35They are three of ten from long range.
29:39Champenny.
29:40That's a wide open look.
29:41Book it.
29:41Well, already early in this game, first 13 minutes, we've seen the three major concerns for the Lakers.
29:50Their depth.
29:52Steel by Fox.
29:53And it's blocked by James.
29:57Retrieved by Laravia.
30:00Get it back.
30:02Shovel.
30:03James.
30:04Kick.
30:05Vinson.
30:06No.
30:08Well, we've seen it.
30:10Depth.
30:11San Antonio.
30:1224-2 edge in Kinch scoring.
30:15Oh, Castle with a great feed to Cornette.
30:18It dances on the rim and out, but a foul.
30:21And then we've seen the Lakers' defense struggling and the three-point struggle.
30:26Great strip there by Fox.
30:29LeBron James, who's been known for those chase-down blocks, didn't have to chase far there, but he comes from behind a great defensive play.
30:37Those three words just seem to flow off the play-by-play mic, blocked by James.
30:45Time for a live update presented by FanDuel.
30:50Lakers, minus 2.5, over-under of 249.5.
30:55Zoom trail, right in.
30:56Yeah.
30:57Yeah, first play, yeah.
30:58Let's get to it.
30:58JJ Redick calling his play there.
31:03Wants the first play, which he's talking about coming out of the quarter break.
31:09The play that he diagrammed they hadn't gotten to because they'd been in transition.
31:14Now they can run the set.
31:15And, Stan, it's an 8-0 run, bridging the first and second quarter.
31:19The lead has ballooned to 14.
31:22James, one-on-one with Purcell.
31:25Offense has been stagnant.
31:26Put it up, and Aiden had it blocked from behind by Champagny, and then James couldn't finish.
31:33Nothing coming easy for L.A.
31:35Bullet feed.
31:36Barnes takes the baseline.
31:38Flips it up.
31:39No.
31:39Long rebound claimed by James.
31:41He got tripped by Castle.
31:42So that's going to be number three on Stephon Castle as James is down.
31:48So Castle, as of this moment, is staying on the floor.
32:00Grand flash.
32:01The eight.
32:02The eight.
32:02Grand flash.
32:03Grand flash.
32:03Grand flash.
32:05I've been bringing it up.
32:07It's the voice of JJ Redick.
32:09And they like this to get LeBron James at the elbow, something that JJ Redick likes to do,
32:18and then they can do a lot of things out of it.
32:20Here he goes right back to Reeves and sets the pick and roll.
32:23Now he's isolated on Purcell.
32:26They're just not making shots.
32:28LaRavia misses from long range.
32:30Lakers are 0 of 6 in the second quarter.
32:33Champagny steps into the three and put it on the board.
32:37The Spurs are rolling.
32:42They've taken a 17-point lead here in the second quarter.
32:46They're 8 of 15 from three-point territory.
32:49You're watching the Emirates NBA.
32:52This has not gone according to plan for JJ Redick.
32:57But for Mitch Johnson and the Spurs, it has.
32:59The bench has delivered 27-2.
33:02They've outscored the Lakers' reserves.
33:04Well, yeah, and they've made five more three-pointers.
33:07These are all major Lakers' concerns.
33:10Lakers 23rd in three-pointers made and 23rd in three-pointers allowed as James knocks it down.
33:17Again, JJ Redick's go-to play for LeBron James is to get him the ball at the elbow
33:23and all of the options that come off of that.
33:26They cut it to 15.
33:28Castle, blocked by Aiden.
33:30Foul called.
33:32They've had no answer for Stephon Castle going to the rim tonight.
33:38Castle playing with those three fouls, but it is not affecting his aggressiveness.
33:43He's got seven points.
33:4413 for Johnson, seven for Champenny, seven for Castle, and eight for Fox.
33:57Well, I'd say maybe the most shocking thing tonight is the free-throw attempt margin.
34:01NBA on Prime is brought to you by CarMax.
34:05Want to drive?
34:06By Spectrum, fiber-powered internet.
34:09The most reliable internet you can count on.
34:12And by AWS.
34:14AWS AI is how the NBA brings fans inside the game.
34:19Free-throw attempts now are 10-3.
34:24And the Lakers, fourth in the lead in free-throw attempts.
34:29San Antonio doing a great job of not putting them on the line.
34:32James gets to the rim and popped up in the air and through by Aiden.
34:36But again, set up by their attack on the drop coverage.
34:40I think they just need to keep going against that pick-and-roll with their three best players.
34:45Foul on Gabe Vinson as Barnes hits the deck.
34:50When we spoke with J.J. Redick about DeAndre Aiden and his role on this team,
34:54he said Aiden recognizes that he's going to score a ton on putbacks
34:58and some hustle plays on the inside.
35:01He also knows that there are not going to be a whole lot of plays run for him.
35:04Maybe something he had been accustomed to previously.
35:07Right, but he is going to get into a lot of pick-and-rolls,
35:10which is going to help him.
35:11And those guys are going to create help.
35:13His man is going to have to come off of them.
35:16He's going to free up, like you said, for dishes and offensive rebounds.
35:20He'll get plenty of opportunities.
35:22Third foul on Vincent.
35:23Doncic back in.
35:25Vassell's pull-up.
35:26He's fouled.
35:28That's a bad foul.
35:30You do not want to foul on jump shots and not even contesting up high.
35:36So it's Devin Vassell going to the free-throw line.
35:40Last seven games, he's averaging 20 points per game.
35:43And J.J. Riddick is going to challenge it.
35:49I mean, he pushed him in the back.
35:51I don't think he's going to win this challenge, Ian.
35:55We'll come back in a moment.
35:57He told me to challenge it.
35:58After the view,
36:00Achimura goes into Vassell's leg on the jump shot.
36:03Additionally, Vassell is not making over on that front leg kick backwards into Achimura.
36:08Therefore, J.J. Riddick then gave John Butler a piece of his mind, and he got teed up by Butler.
36:24Yeah, I mean, he went at him for a long time, and he's been on him for a long time in this game, so he deserved it.
36:31But I think he wanted it, to be quite honest.
36:34Wanted to make his point.
36:35I thought it was an obvious foul call.
36:37I think J.J. was complaining they're not getting the same call down here at the other end.
36:43So, this is what happened towards the end of the timeout.
36:53Butler let it go for a bit, but then right at the end of the conversation,
36:59Butler made his way towards the scores table and indicated it.
37:03T. Jared Vanderbilt, part of the Lakers bench, tried to lawyer up there, and it didn't work.
37:10No, J.J. was just probably trying to give a few helpful suggestions,
37:15but the referees don't always appreciate that from coaches.
37:18Is that what you got a lot from your experience?
37:20Oh, I tried to help as much as I could, and it wasn't always appreciated.
37:28James on a kick for Donchich.
37:30Screen, Aiden Donchich.
37:32Doesn't go.
37:33It's just not working right now for the Lakers.
37:37Donchich is 4-11 from the field, and another foul is called.
37:42And spilling out into the front row is Stephon Castle.
37:47Well, look, the Lakers have to be efficient offensively to be successful,
37:52not only, obviously, for what it does for your offense,
37:55but if they're having to defend in transition all night against the team
38:00with this kind of speed, they're in trouble.
38:0315 fast break points.
38:05Yeah, they're just running right by them,
38:08and will continue to if they're able to go off missed shots.
38:11A floor burn there for Castle.
38:17Hey, are you ready for big-time basketball?

38:37Spurs have their largest lead.
38:38It's 18.
38:40Lakers have had a knack of coming from behind double-digit deficits.
38:44Six comeback wins by trailing by 10 or more.
38:47James Locomotive.
38:48Left-handed delivery.
38:50And again, going right at Hoop Cornette against the drop coverage.
38:58Laker.
39:03Now just can't keep the speed of the Spurs.
39:08Donchich gets the roll and won.
39:13If I'm the Lakers offensively,
39:15I am running picking rolls with my center on.
39:19Продолжение следует...
39:49It gets...
39:51Barnes got him. A three.
40:07One of the best corner three-point shooters in the NBA.
40:13Nine of 16 from three-point territory. San Antonio. Red hot.
40:19Reeves can't massage it in.
40:24If you don't like it, bring it out.
40:26Lead is 18.
40:32High screen. Cornette. Harper uses it.
40:35And Harper can't convert.
40:41Reeves head on a swivel. Swings for Smart. He will fire.
40:45And miss it from long range. Smart goes down. Champenny goes down.
40:50Take your time. Take your time.
40:51Lakers are three of 13 from deep.
40:55The sell. Tough angle. Cornette taps it out to Smart. Lakers are running.
41:01Smart. Euros.
41:03But can't hit.
41:04Well, they just can't get anything to go down right now.
41:08They are shooting 27% in the second quarter after shooting 58% in the first.
41:14Barnes short. Long rebound to Ayton.
41:18Spurs only shooting 36% here in the second quarter.
41:22Step back. Jay. Splash.
41:25Luka Doncic with a downtown hit.
41:2817 points for Luka.
41:3257-42. Spurs lead it.
41:35Second quarter.
41:37...by Emirates.
41:39And here's Luka Doncic attacking the drop.
41:42Drawing the foul on Castle.
41:44As Cornette tries to play two guys temporarily.
41:49And here it is.
41:50And look, Cornette, one of the best drop defenders in the league.
41:54But you're asking a lot against a guy like Luka Doncic.
41:57Couple of three-point plays there.
42:00Doncic off to a very good start.
42:02But the Lakers, I just can't get many stops.
42:07Doncic third all-time in scoring.
42:11With an average just under 30 points per game.
42:17And the only guys over 30 for their career,
42:20Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan.
42:24Foul call. Barnes runs into a wall.
42:28When we talked to J.J. Redick about his squad,
42:32he said, I actually want them to foul more.
42:36There have been times at halftime where I've told them,
42:39I'm telling you to foul.
42:40I'm encouraging you to foul.
42:42Well, and especially off the ball, he wants that.
42:45To try to limit the other team's movement off the ball
42:49because of the lack of speed and quickness that the Lakers have.
42:53This is the first appearance for the Spurs in the NBA Cup knockout round.
42:57San Antonio, last couple of years,
42:59they haven't been among the upper echelon teams in the NBA.
43:03In fact, they've missed the playoffs six straight seasons.
43:06Is that saying something?
43:08Because San Antonio was a model of consistency for so long.
43:12But you can see what the vision is and how it's come together this year.
43:15Right, and those Cup failures are why Keldon Johnson has not gotten that llama yet.
43:20That's right.
43:21No llama for Keldon.
43:23Doncic gets inside.
43:26Some say he's like the Dalai Lama of scoring.
43:29Well, they seem content, though,
43:31to let Luka, not let him score,
43:35but to live with his scoring
43:37and limit his shot creation for others.
43:40He only has one assist tonight.
43:42Lakers trying to go on a run here.
43:43Doncic doesn't go.
43:50Trying to add to a 15-point lead.
43:52Harper, kick.
43:53Barnes, open look.
43:54He sticks it.
43:56Yeah, but it starts with Dylan Harper
43:57getting all the way to the rim
43:59and sucking the defense in.
44:02Steve,
44:04a Laker team struggling to keep up
44:07with the pace and quickness of the San Antonio Spurs.
44:11Smart three.
44:13Got it.
44:14And that's six assists for Austin Reeves.
44:16He only got one bucket.
44:18Comes in averaging 28 a game.
44:21He's only got two points, but six assists.
44:23Back to 15.
44:25Harper gets the step on Reeves and scores.
44:28Dylan Harper, multifaceted inside-outside skills
44:33and a very high basketball IQ.
44:35Nine points off the bench
44:38for the second overall pick.
44:39Where do you think you got that IQ from?
44:40Mom and dad.
44:42Reeves takes it to the rim.
44:4764-49.
44:48The issue is really on this end.
44:51Go get it, Ace.
44:52No answers.
44:53Vassell are rounded out.
44:59Lakers have 30 paint points.
45:01Doncic flips it up.
45:03Draws the foul.
45:05Line tonight.
45:11This will be his fifth and sixth attempts.
45:15On the pull through.
45:17On the pull through, that's a foul.
45:18Yep, that's a foul.
45:23And knocks him on his ass,
45:25which is the reason they got a wide open three.
45:27Okay?
45:29That's another word for backside.
45:30Comedy legends Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson bring their unfiltered takes and hilarious dynamic to sports talk.
45:40Get ready for A-list guests.
45:42Big laughs and can't miss commentary on good sports with Kevin and Kenan.
45:46New episodes every Tuesday, only on Prime.
45:50And we've had pretty good sports talk tonight from J.J. Reddick.
45:57We have.
45:57And look, I understand the frustration.
45:59I've been there many, many, many, many times in my career.
46:03But the Lakers have got to get their focus off of the referees and on to their defense and trying to contain the San Antonio Spurs team.
46:15Doncic misses on the second attempt.
46:18He's got 20 first-half points.
46:20But as you mentioned, Stan, he's the only Laker to get to the free-throw line.
46:26Three of six.
46:27Fox.
46:27Series of moves.
46:28Strip to the ball.
46:29Turnover.
46:30Smart was there.
46:31Well, that's what they need.
46:32Some defensive plays.
46:34That's why Marcus Smart is in the game.
46:37Doncic.
46:38Head and shoulder fake.
46:39Takes it in.
46:40Upstairs.
46:41On a special delivery for Hayes, who hammers it.
46:45Just keep running, pick and rolls, and go against that drop.
46:51It's Luka Doncic will tear that apart.
46:54But now, got to get more stops.
46:57That's a 12-point Spurs advantage.
46:59Harper runs into Doncic.
47:01Wrestling for the ball.
47:04And a timeout called.
47:06Mitch Johnson and the Spurs get it.
47:10And Harper got hit in the face.
47:14They need more of this.
47:16The Lakers.
47:17Nice strip by Marcus Smart.
47:20And then it leads to this attack of the drop.
47:23The late lob to Jackson Hayes for the dump.
47:33Hat presented by AT&T.
47:35Taylor Rooks.
47:36Blake Griffin.
47:36Steve Nash.
47:37Udonis Haslam.
47:38John Wall.
47:40Get some shots up.
47:44Saw Blake Griffin's sweater early.
47:48I think that might be Mohair.
47:50Blocked by Jackson Hayes.
47:53The rejection.
47:54Do not go in there.
47:57San Antonio calling for a goaltend.
48:01But John Goebel firmly says no.
48:07Dylan Harper had it negated at the rim.
48:09They've got to figure out the shot clock here.
48:12Currently at 0.0.
48:15Blutarski.
48:16If it's going to stay at 0.
48:19Okay.
48:19Now, 0.2.
48:21The only thing they can do is tip the ball.
48:23So, you've got to just protect the rim.
48:27You can't catch and shoot.
48:28Don't worry about anybody coming to the perimeter.
48:32I don't even know why you're out guarding guys on the perimeter.
48:37And John Goebel back to the scorer's table.
48:39Just heard JJ Reddick instructing his team, telling LeBron James to pass along the instructions.
48:52We had a clock malfunction.
48:54Luka.
48:55Luka.
48:55Luka.
48:56Luka.
48:57Luka.
48:57Luka gone for net.
48:58Luka gone for net.
49:00Jackson back.
49:02They're standing here.
49:04So, they put 2.24 on the game clock.
49:07Currently 0.2 on the shot clock.
49:12All you have to guard here is the rim.
49:15A tip is all that you can do legally for San Antonio.
49:24I'd just stand five guys in front of that restricted area, not worry about anything else.
49:31I don't want to get a free run.
49:32I don't want to get a free run.
49:33Yes, yes, yes.
49:34Now, there's been a lot of buildup for this point, too.
49:37Yes, there has.
49:38This has been quite the play.
49:43And we're ready to resume.
49:46Not guarding the inbounder.
49:48Harper lobs it up.
49:49And Cornett actually tipped it upstairs as Keldon Johnson was trying to...
49:54fire through there to create some action.
49:57He did, and then Luke Cornett just shoved Jackson Hayes.
50:04So, Lakers get it back, trailing by 12.
50:08We approach 2 minutes to go in this second quarter.
50:11Winner goes to Las Vegas in the semifinals.
50:14Dacic missed it off the heel.
50:16Lakers have had three good defensive possessions in a row, though.
50:20That's their way to get back in the game.
50:22Spin move.
50:23Fox lost the ball.
50:24Jumping on top of it.
50:27Hachimura.
50:28And that will be a tie-up.
50:30And it's not a coincidence that the defense has gotten better
50:33with both Smart and Hachimura on the floor together.
50:40So, it's Hachimura and Fox.
50:42Hachimura comes in, he replaces Harper, and now the veteran Harrison Barnes
50:51will take off the warm-up.
50:54And he will step in for Keldon Johnson.
50:57And that was Cornett, who tapped at last, out of bounds.
51:12Luke Cornett signed to a four-year, $41 million deal.
51:20Knew that they needed somebody to back up Wendell Nyama.
51:23Little did they know that he would become the starter
51:26for the majority of the start of the season.
51:28Dacic gets inside, and the scoring spree continues.
51:337-0 run.
51:34Dacic has 22 first-half points.
51:36Well, San Antonio's got a nice lead still, double figures,
51:40but they're going to have to make some adjustment
51:42and talk about what they want to do on the pick-and-roll at halftime.
51:46Largest lead has been 18.
51:47It's currently 10.
51:48Dacic will pick up the foul.
51:51Lakers are over the limit.
51:53That's number three on Luka.
51:57And here it is, Marcus Smart.
52:00Great screen on Luke Cornett, who's the drop defender.
52:10Foul called on Luka, sending Luke to the free-throw line.
52:15And Luke Cornett, one of the best and most unheralded off-season pickups
52:21by anybody.
52:22Brian Wright, the general manager, his assistant, Adam Glessner.
52:26I'm biased.
52:27I work with both of them, both in Orlando and Detroit.
52:31These guys have done a fabulous job.
52:33Claim on Champinney a couple years ago, pickup of Cornett in the off-season.
52:45This is a very good roster, and they've got enough balance.
52:48That's why they've been able to survive without one of the best five or six players
52:53in the world in Victor Wimbenyama.
52:57Foul is called.
52:59Dacic is going to the free-throw line.
53:02Still upset that he got called for the foul on the other end.
53:05And he will shoot a pair.
53:10Luka.
53:16To his daughter, so missed a couple of games,
53:18but then came back to the States and put up a triple-double against Philly.
53:24And he's already got 22 to 23 tonight.
53:27They're attempting 6.8 more free-throws than their opponents.
53:33That's number one in differential in the NBA, but not tonight.
53:4011 more free-throw attempts for the Spurs compared to the Lakers.
53:47A lot of points up that high pick-and-roll.
53:50Their defense is starting to be a little bit better.
53:53That's going to be their key.
53:55Champinney for Cornett.
53:58Shot clock down to 10.
54:01The cell.
54:03Off the dribble.
54:04Cornett floats it up.
54:05Does it go?
54:08Rebounded by Hayes.
54:09They can cut it to single digits.
54:12Oh, LeBron James!
54:14A ferocious flush.
54:20And a block on the other end.
54:23The tide is turning thanks to a 14-4 run.
54:26Smart.
54:27Blocked by Cornett.
54:29Reeves couldn't get it off cleanly.
54:32Two-for-one opportunity.
54:34Fox gets the roll.
54:37Quiets the crowd.
54:38But they're still buzzing over the LeBron finish.
54:41As they should be.
54:43And they should be buzzing over the Lakers.
54:46Defensive energy has really picked up here late in the second quarter.
54:51Donchich.
54:52Bully ball on Fox.
54:54And intercepted by Barnes.
54:56Spurs can hold for one.
54:58And will.
54:5810-point lead.
55:01Inside to Barnes.
55:04Lakers thought San Antonio would back it out.
55:07They caught him napping.
55:08Yeah, absolutely.
55:09Donchich and Jackson Hayes.
55:11Neither one of them ran back.
55:13Inexcusable.
55:1413 for Barnes.
55:16Final seconds.
55:17Ball tip.
55:19Three-quarter court.
55:21Off the backboard for Luke Cornett.
55:26The Spurs take a 70-58 lead to the locker room.
55:33But LeBron James brought this crowd to its feet.
55:38How old is he, Ian?
55:40I mean, they list 40.
55:46I don't know.
55:48You're watching the Emirates NBA Cup quarterfinals on prime.
55:52LeBron has still got it.
55:56Halftime at crypto.
55:58Spurs lead the Lakers 70-58 in the NBA Cup quarterfinals.
56:02Welcome on in with us.
56:03I'm Taylor Rooks.
56:04Joined by John Wall, Steve Nash, Blake Griffin, and Udonis Haslam.
56:07It was 18-12 Lakers with six and a half seconds left in the first.
56:11But Keldon Johnson and the Spurs bench changed the game.
56:14Spurs went up 18.
56:15Lakers, though, closed the half on a 14-8 run.
56:18Lakers are struggling with the Spurs' speed.
56:20And the Spurs are sticking to their identity.
56:22Yeah, we talked about it before the game.
56:23We said the Spurs are going to get out of the transition
56:25and get those two feet in the paint.
56:27And they've been kicking out.
56:28And they've been knocking down threes.
56:29I think the most important thing also, they have 20 fast break points.
56:32Off the Lakers turnover, they're converting.
56:34They're getting out, getting layups.
56:35And those guys are coming out and playing aggressive.
56:37I mean, towards the end of the half, the run that the Lakers made
56:40is because the Spurs kind of got away from it.
56:42Once they got two feet in the paint,
56:43instead of making the Lakers make multiple efforts defensively,
56:46they start getting a little more aggressive,
56:48start trying to get in there, get to the rim.
56:49And they got a couple of deflections, mark a spark.
