00:30They looked like they were
00:32engaged in the game.
00:34They looked like they were
00:36taking the fight to the Spurs.
00:38So, you have to do that to
00:39start the third quarter as well
00:41and get off to a good start
00:42because the Spurs are competent.
00:44They're just playing free.
00:45They're turning them over.
00:46Jon said they're getting into
00:47the paint.
00:48Kick out easy buckets.
00:50Lakers got to come come
00:52correct to start the half.
00:53I think the one pocket of play
00:54there where the Lakers got
00:55back into the game, the Spurs
00:56had a hard time guarding them.
00:57I think the one pocket of play
00:59students have a hard time
01:01guarding him look was get his
01:03way on picking rules he was
01:03getting in the pain.
01:04He was throwing lobs finishing
01:05you know that what not only is
01:06I give up points but also takes
01:07away your fast break
01:09opportunity so when the game
01:10slows to a halt I think it
01:12really helps the Lakers.
01:13I think they got to find more
01:14minutes of Marcus Smart.
01:15He came in with his defensive
01:16presence we talked about is he
01:17playing or is he not him in
01:19Vanderbilt have not been getting
01:20a lot of minutes Marcus Smart
01:21was hurt but the minutes he
01:22play on the Aaron Fox and
01:24Castle getting steals getting
01:25out in transition and finding
01:26plays for those guys.
01:27Субтитры делал DimaTorzok
01:57But that's the LeBron they need
01:59Just aggressive, downhill
02:01Getting everybody involved
02:03So, you know, let's see what the Lakers do
02:05They cut it to a 12-point game
02:06And AR hasn't got going yet
02:08So if you're the Lakers, you're on the other side
02:10And you're encouraged by the way you finished that half
02:11And you're also encouraged that one of your main guys
02:13Hasn't gotten going yet
02:14And a guy who you've been waiting on, LeBron James
02:16Has now arrived
02:16You all touched on it
02:18But the Lakers have a minus 11 free throw attempt differential
02:21That is their worst in the first half this season
02:24Alright, it's time for Court Connection
02:25Presented by AT&T
02:27Darren Fox finding Stephon Castle down the floor
02:30For the AM1
02:31Spurs lead the Lakers 70-58
02:33With a semifinal spot on the line
02:35Second half is just ahead
02:37We're halfway home
02:47In the last NBA Cup quarterfinal
02:49Luka and the Lakers down by 12
02:51Against the Spurs
02:51The winner, though, is headed to Vegas
02:53The second half is coming up now
02:55The half is presented by AT&T
03:02Connecting changes everything
03:04It's the Emirates NBA Cup quarterfinal
03:13It's the Emirates NBA Cup quarterfinal
03:15It's the Emirates NBA Cup quarterfinal
03:34The quarterfinals on prime
03:36Getting ready for second half action
03:41The Spurs leading the Lakers 70-58
03:45The winner goes to Vegas
03:47First half stats presented by Skippy
03:51Peanutbutter
03:52In that first half
03:53The Lakers actually finish at 50% from the field
03:56But look at the disparity in free throws
03:59And the bench
04:0129 points from the reserves
04:04For San Antonio
04:05Ian Eagle, Stan Van Gutte, Cassidy Hubbard
04:07The rest of our NBA on prime crew
04:09One spot remains in Las Vegas
04:11For the semifinals of the Emirates NBA Cup
04:14Stan, what changed in that first half?
04:16San Antonio led by as many as 18
04:18Yeah, look, it got a little bit better
04:20For a stretch there with the Lakers defense
04:22I thought Smart and Hachimura on the floor together
04:25Helped them
04:26That defense is going to have to stay good
04:29But the free throw thing has been huge
04:32As you pointed out
04:33Because we know San Antonio is going to make
04:35Four more threes and they did
04:37Kelton Johnson, huge boost off the bench
04:40Moments ago, Cassidy spoke with Kelton
04:42Thanks, Ian
04:43Kelton, you led a bench unit
04:45That outscored the Lakers by 22
04:47What did you like about
04:48How you guys took advantage of that second unit?
04:50You know, we just came out to be aggressive
04:52We know that, you know, we got to get out in transition
04:55We got to play together
04:56And do all the right things
04:57And we're just taking advantage of that
04:59And ultimately just playing together
05:00Well, you're half away from a trip to Vegas
05:02And closer to maybe getting that llama
05:05What do you guys have to do to close this one out strong?
05:08We just got to continue to lean on our good habits
05:11Continue to play together
05:12Continue to have fun
05:12And the llama will be within reach
05:15Yes, it will
05:15Thank you so much
05:16I understand
05:17Yes, he has a farm
05:20And if they get to Vegas
05:22He's going to invest in a llama
05:24I'll tell you what
05:26He's probably the most motivated guy
05:28In the Emirates NBA Cup
05:30I don't even think you're exaggerating right now
05:33When we spoke with Mitch Johnson
05:34And asked him
05:35What did he learn about his team
05:37Without Wemben Yama
05:38A part of it recently said
05:40Just how they respond
05:42Castle
05:43That's a three
05:44And that's a prime example of it
05:47They might go through stretches
05:49Where they don't have it
05:50Or there are lapses
05:51But they always seem to have answers
05:53And they problem solve
05:54In the moment
05:5512 points now for Stefan Kassel
05:59The lead is back to 15
06:01Dojic
06:04Dojic
06:05Draws a couple of defenders
06:06And backing off
06:07Is Cornette
06:08Dojic
06:08Misses it from the outside
06:10The sell
06:14That's a three.
06:16They've got a 12-5
06:18advantage on threes.
06:2021-point difference.
06:22That's going to be another problem
06:24for the Lakers, both making
06:26threes and defending the three.
06:28Aiden connects on the
06:30inside.
06:33Third Laker
06:34in double figures tonight.
06:36Castle rope-a-dope.
06:40He
06:40faked to the right and quickly
06:42cut to the left.
06:4414 now
06:45for Stephon Castle.
06:48And Fox takes it away.
06:50He's going to take.
06:51Come up short through the hands of Castle.
06:55And then
06:56Aiden moves it ahead for James.
06:58LeBron no look. Aiden running the
06:59floor. Aiden
07:01couldn't finish it.
07:03And then Aiden had it knocked out of his hands.
07:05Out of bounds.
07:09Castle had just hit a three
07:11and then great change of pace
07:14to the crossover
07:15and the finish with the left hand.
07:18There is some
07:19excellent shot creation
07:21from the San Antonio
07:24guards.
07:26LeBron James misses from
07:27three-point territory.
07:28and now San Antonio
07:32can take its largest lead
07:34and does.
07:36Stephon Castle
07:37sticks it.
07:39It's a 20-point cushion
07:40for the Spurs
07:42early stages of the third.
07:44Spurs come out and start the second half
07:49on a 10-2 run.
07:51Steph Castle
07:52has scored or assisted
07:53on all ten.
07:54The three,
07:55the beautiful left-handed finish
07:57and then the floater
07:59in the paint.
08:01Spurs
08:01by 20.
08:03It's a San Antonio team
08:07that's had five different starting lineups.
08:09They've
08:09had to figure some things out
08:12here in the early portion of the year
08:14but they've always had answers.
08:18James Diagonal,
08:19Hachimura
08:20he gets the three.
08:23If I was San Antonio
08:24I'd stay home
08:25and play James one-on-one
08:27making make some shots
08:29in there to begin with.
08:3180-63.
08:33Spurs
08:34kick
08:35Barnes
08:36splash
08:38from the corner.
08:39Wow.
08:40I mean
08:41what a great
08:42corner three-point shooter he is.
08:45I mean
08:45good from anywhere
08:4643%
08:47coming in on the year
08:48four for seven tonight
08:50but in the corner
08:51as good as anybody in the league.
08:53His numbers are just up
08:55across the board.
08:57In year number 14
08:58in the league
08:59he's 33 years old.
09:01Back to a 20-point advantage
09:03Fox against Reeves.
09:05The spin and score.
09:07De'Aaron Fox
09:08doing special things.
09:11Well that quickness
09:12is too much
09:14for most people
09:15to deal with
09:16let alone
09:16a Laker team
09:18that lacks
09:19speed and quickness.
09:2122-point deficit
09:22for the Lakers
09:23slip it inside
09:24Aiton gets hugged
09:25by Cornette.
09:28San Antonio
09:29is six of seven
09:30from the field
09:30in the third quarter.
09:32Look at the space
09:33and this isn't bad defense
09:34by Reeves
09:35but he's just got him
09:36off balance.
09:39Great quickness.
09:42I don't know.
09:43Kentucky's had
09:44some pretty good
09:44pretty quick guards
09:46over the years.
09:46We got one of them
09:47sitting in our studio
09:48tonight.
09:48talking about
09:50John Wall
09:51end-to-end
09:52I'm not sure
09:52there was anybody
09:53faster.
09:54Prime brings you

10:04at 730 Eastern
10:05only on Prime.
10:08See that's just
10:08one of the little things
10:09though that Luke Cornette
10:10does for this team.
10:12Tied up Aiton
10:12at the other end
10:13saves one point.
10:15Yeah.
10:15Those kind of things
10:17make the difference
10:18when you're playing
10:18at the highest level
10:19a lot of games
10:21are going to come down
10:21to one possession.
10:23Fox comes up short
10:24long rebound
10:24to Reeves.
10:27Early offense
10:28Aiton
10:29they collapse on him
10:30off the deflection.
10:32Ball movement
10:32leads to Reeves
10:34they missed it
10:35Cornette contested it
10:36Vassell the other way
10:39shifting gears.
10:41Find the open man
10:42corner
10:44and Castle put it
10:46off the side
10:46of the backboard
10:47as he ended up
10:48on his bottom.
10:49James
10:49relentless
10:51LeBron James
10:53the best ever
10:55I guess he and Giannis
10:57the two best ever
10:58coast to coast
10:59guys in the league
11:00LeBron coming at you
11:02in transition
11:03there can't be
11:05a more helpless
11:05feeling
11:06for an NBA player.
11:0814 points
11:099 rebounds
11:10LeBron James
11:11Castle is fouled
11:12Stephon Castle
11:16continues to be
11:17assertive
11:18there is just
11:19absolutely nothing
11:20you could do there
11:21Harrison Barnes
11:22has seen this before
11:24in his NBA career
11:25he's gotten to the
11:27point where he's a
11:27little bit guardable
11:28in the half court
11:29now
11:30impossible
11:33two free throws
11:37here for Castle
11:38and now
11:45Keldon Johnson
11:46will check back in
11:47along with
11:48Dylan Harper
11:49De'Aaron Fox
11:50Harrison Barnes
11:51said
11:52I think the
11:54one thing that has
11:55become very obvious
11:56in regards to
11:57San Antonio
11:58anyone that thought
11:59that they would fall
12:01once
12:01Wemba Nyama went down
12:03like they did
12:03last year
12:04there were struggles
12:05when they didn't have
12:06Victor Wemba Nyama
12:07not the case this year
12:09they're 8-3
12:10without him
12:108-4 with him
12:12and their offensive
12:13rating per 100
12:14possessions
12:14which is basically
12:16an NBA game
12:17is 5 points
12:19better
12:19without
12:20Wemba Nyama
12:21now
12:22their defensive
12:22rating
12:2310 points
12:23worse
12:2412 points
12:25worse
12:26actually
12:26James
12:28takes it in
12:29couldn't finish
12:30but do you think
12:31things will change
12:32now as
12:33to the face
12:38and it looks like
12:39to the right eye
12:39teammates are coming
12:43over to help him
12:44get sorted
12:46foul on James
12:49will things change
12:51when Wemba
12:52comes back
12:53there was a
12:56slap down
12:57and
12:57not sure
12:58where he caught him
12:59he did not look like
13:00he caught him in the face
13:02I'd give
13:03Kelvin Johnson
13:04a pretty good acting
13:05job with that one
13:06he got him
13:07maybe on the side
13:08with his finger
13:09to the temple
13:10I mean I think
13:11you're in LA
13:12and everybody
13:13feels the urge
13:15to act a little bit
13:16you know
13:17maybe
13:17you get a second
13:18career out of it
13:20there's movie people
13:21in the stadium
13:22oh really
13:22you think they're
13:22talent scouts
13:23no question
13:24no question
13:26but are they anonymous
13:27we don't know
13:28who they are
13:28I don't know
13:30who they are
13:30because I don't
13:31work in that business
13:32but
13:32thanks for clarifying
13:34they know who they are
13:35third foul on Reeves
13:37Castle
13:38corner
13:39Johnson
13:40off the rim
13:42and a foul
13:44is called
13:44as Johnson
13:45and that's number four
13:54on Luka Doncic
13:54Johnson
13:55having an issue
13:57with his right hand
13:58Doncic
14:00extending out
14:01and
14:02caught the hand
14:03on the follow through
14:05yeah normally
14:06that's a high five
14:07one of the things
14:08they change this year
14:09when it's violent
14:10when they think
14:12he really slaps
14:13they're gonna call
14:14that a foul
14:15so the question is
14:19what happens
14:20when Wemby
14:21comes back
14:22what does this
14:23rotation look like
14:24how do they align
14:26and does the offense
14:27change at all
14:27well my guess is
14:29Rissell goes to the bench
14:30certainly one of those
14:31perimeter guys
14:32has to go to the bench
14:33got an update on
14:37Wemby from
14:38Cassidy
14:39and the question of
14:40when is soon
14:41Victor Wemby
14:42went through
14:42full shoot around
14:43and did five on fives
14:45following shoot around
14:46and then went through
14:46a full pregame
14:47workout tonight
14:49the Spurs say
14:50he's very close
14:51but Mitch Johnson
14:51said the excitement
14:52around this game
14:53wasn't going to
14:54dictate his status
14:54it's strictly about
14:56how he responds
14:57and the next step
14:57is simply getting
14:58in more reps
14:59and seeing how
15:00that cap responds
15:00guys
15:01Cassidy the winner
15:02here advances
15:03to Las Vegas
15:04on Saturday
15:05this was pregame
15:05Wemby Nyama
15:08with a ladder
15:09also out there
15:12if you want to get
15:13eye to eye
15:14that's it
15:16utility men are like
15:18yeah maybe I'll try it
15:19on the ladder
15:20well in Wemby Nyama's
15:21last three games
15:23before he went out
15:24with the injury
15:25he was averaging
15:26almost 32 and 13
15:28with six assists
15:30now he had started
15:31to shoot a lot more
15:32threes again
15:33so we'll have to see
15:34how that goes
15:35fourth foul on
15:36Stephon Castle
15:37Keldon Johnson
15:39picked up his fourth
15:40on the previous
15:41possession
15:42and now Champagny
15:44will check in
15:46James triggers in
15:52a bit of a foul fest
15:59that was an issue
16:00in the first meeting
16:01between these two teams
16:02there were 66 fouls
16:06called in that game
16:08and Doncic will
16:14shoot a pair
16:15each team
16:16with four fouls
16:19647 mark
16:20of the third
16:20and Doncic

16:26this will be his
16:27tenth one

16:47the big three
16:48all together
16:49Austin Reeves

17:03and it's an
17:06offensive foul
17:07Hachi Mora
17:10took the hit
17:11that was a good call
17:15Aiton did a
17:17fantastic job
17:18there
17:19of staying
17:20with Harper
17:21this is an obvious
17:22moving screen
17:23Harper picks up
17:28his fourth
17:28Doncic
17:30for Reeves
17:32ten to shoot
17:35high screen

43:49the

43:54that
43:54they
43:54would
43:55look

43:55but
43:56now

44:08reluctantly
44:09and
44:15they
44:15will
44:15take
44:16a
44:16look
44:16this
44:19could be a
44:20big call
44:21in this game
44:22what do you think
44:23Stan
44:24no
44:25not a flagrant foul
44:26doesn't hit him in the head
44:28there's no wind up
44:31there's no real follow through
44:34I'd be surprised
44:35common foul
44:36if this is a flagrant foul
44:38but it is LeBron James
44:39and he does I guess his upper arm
44:42hits him in the head
44:43LeBron sold it pretty well
44:45so he did hit him in the head
44:47he did
44:47but with the
44:49upper arm
44:49not with his hand
44:50this should not be a flagrant foul
44:53but it's LeBron James
44:55it's in LA
44:56who knows
44:58so they are looking at a series of replays
45:02from Secaucus New Jersey
45:04how much time have you spent in Secaucus
45:08I've spent a lot of time there
45:09okay
45:09in fact
45:10a lot
45:11what do you want to know
45:13I mean is it a nice city
45:15lovely
45:16lovely
45:17okay
45:18very good
45:19how would you compare it to LA
45:21now that we're
45:22very similar
45:22it's like the
45:23it's like the LA of New Jersey
45:25all right
45:26see that's good to know
45:28the replay center if you have never visited
45:32is quite impressive
45:33that is impressive
45:34it is very impressive
45:35yes
45:36after review
45:38Champagne makes normal basketball play in contesting
45:41while making illegal contact on the shot attempt by James
45:44therefore his contact is being not to rise to the level of necessary contact
45:48therefore the offense stands to comment foul
45:51James has issued two free throws
45:52so John Goebel knows when he opens the mic that Lakers fans are not going to be happy
45:58but you still have to deliver it in the same manner
46:00absolutely
46:01and John Goebel's been at this a long time
46:04he's calling the play
46:05I know back in the studio
46:07Udonis Haslam is proud of him
46:09even though his buddy didn't
46:11LeBron James didn't get the call
46:12because John Goebel went to the same high school
46:15played high school basketball at the same high school
46:17Udonis Haslam did
46:19Miami senior
46:20that is really good minutia
46:23well you know
46:24I'm telling you
46:25if there's something that is trivial
46:27unimportant
46:28I know
46:29I know
46:30all over it
46:31they didn't cross over though
46:35they did not
46:36now
46:36LeBron James gets
46:40two free throws to go
46:43122-108
46:45447 to play
46:46here in the fourth quarter
46:48Barnes
46:51with
46:52Donchich
46:52one-on-one
46:54out for Vassell
46:58switch
46:58Vassell
