00:00I think for Boston, the big thing Joe Mazzullo wants to see this group do is play a little bit faster.
00:08They can last in the league in pace, and he wants to see them push it some more.
00:11So Klaxon and Kater to jump it up, and here we go at Barclays Center.
00:16First meeting of the season between the Nets and the Celtics.
00:21The opposing team's best offensive player, that's Porter for the Nets.
00:24And Michael Porter Jr. gives the Nets their first basket of the game.
00:29Brought to you by Hyundai.
00:31Beautiful play around the game.
00:32Even you're talking, though, the switch occurred off of that little pin-down screen.
00:36Still, Jalen Brown's running at him, but it's just enough time.
00:38The Nets have done some really nice sets.
00:40Well, Jalen Brown's mid-range has been incredible this season.
00:44Automatic.
00:45No, he doesn't know much.
00:46He knows his stuff.
00:48Frank Isolde is the one he left.
00:49Yeah, that's right.
00:51Brown again, scouting report on target from Scott.
00:55It's just something you need to be mindful of.
00:59White, quick delivery.
01:01Back iron it off.
01:02The open the rebound.
01:03Look at a push for Brooklyn.
01:04Yegor finds Clowney.
01:07He got it.
01:08On a three.
01:10Defense, offense, quickness, and the advancement.
01:13You love a play like that.
01:14And Clowney now with the rejection.
01:21Clowney dribbles into the three.
01:24And hits.
01:26Diamond.
01:26To be able to find that type of success and work well with him.
01:30If he had never had more than tennisists over a two-game span, 14 in the last two.
01:35As the Omen buries the three and a 13-4 lead for the Nets.
01:41For every guy that steps on the floor of understanding where and what's expected of him.
01:45A 10-0.
01:46Brooklyn run.
01:47White?
01:47No.
01:48Tip?
01:49Yes.
01:50As Kata able to sneak it in around Claxton.
01:53Jalen Brown, by the way, took 33 shots the other day against the Clippers.
02:00Second most in a game in his career.
02:03Shocked 36 one time as Trichard knocks in the three off the delivery from Brown.
02:09Kata out as well.
02:11The two early personals for Derek White.
02:13Porter elevates.
02:15No.
02:16Braxton the rebound.
02:17Another chance here for Brooklyn.
02:18Man in the cut.
02:20And the slam.
02:22Patience.
02:22What a find.
02:23Gilman will set up Porter.
02:25Has size on Simons.
02:27Uses it.
02:28And hits.
02:31Patience.
02:32And a good feel for him.
02:33Tarza a part of these new-look Celtics.
02:36As they unloaded several key rotation players.
02:39And Gilman steps into another three.
02:43Yeager's second three on two attempts.
02:46And Joe Mazzoula is going to take a timeout.
02:48Through his own experience.
02:50I mean, that's pretty awesome.
02:52Really good stuff, Megan.
02:53And it's so cool.
02:54And Vince is just one of the sweetest men you'll ever meet in your life.
02:58And to see the impact on Yeager and the connection with his father.
03:02How was your weekend?
03:03This is why Megan kicks you out of our dream room.
03:09That's right.
03:09Martin.
03:11Able to finish through some contact as well.
03:14Tyrese Martin coming off a big game.
03:17Scored 20 points.
03:19It's 8 of 12 from the floor on Sunday.
03:21Brichard.
03:23Another for Peyton Brichard.
03:25A couple of sprints.
03:26It's a little bit too much.
03:27It may be unnecessary, too, with how Porter would be able to create space for him.
03:32Brichard.
03:32Brichard.
03:34In it that one.
03:35Garza with the putback.
03:38Boston has back ironed it off.
03:41Porter a big time board.
03:43Michael Porter Jr. taking the putback.
03:46Another chance.
03:47And that one is good.
03:48Porter and Sean both doing a man's work on the glass.
03:53That is strong rebounding.
03:55Porter's averaging almost 8 rebounds per game.
03:58So that's something that he does customarily.
04:00Simons has to switch on Sharp trying to take it to him.
04:03It does.
04:05He was on, especially early on with Portland in his career.
04:09He can go off.
04:10He has 6 career 25-point hands, including one this year.
04:13As Sharp just muscled through Garza.
04:1827-22.
04:20Nets lead in.
04:22First beating of the season between the Nets and the Celtics.
04:24Sharp knocks it away.
04:26Here's Martin.
04:27Martin accelerates and lays it in with the left hand.
04:32Brichard racing around, shoveling out.
04:35Howser a good look, and he got that one.
04:44Brichard lobbing it in, and the throw down.
04:48From Cata, and this game is tied at 29.
04:51I'm not sure it was show ready.
04:54Powell and Sharp converge.
04:56Williams out of the field.
04:59Defense, offense getting active over here for Brooklyn.
05:03The start of the second quarter,
05:04obviously important with the way they set the tone in that first quarter,
05:08and a big part of it began on this end.
05:10And how about this, Sarah?
05:1215 fast-break points for Brooklyn.
05:14Jordy Fernandez talked about this before the game, how he wants it.
05:18It's allowed them to get out and run.
05:20Because if you're taking the ball to the net every single time,
05:22you can't move fast.
05:23It allows for the defense to get back and get set.
05:26Yeah, they forced six turnovers.
05:27That corner three is good for Minot,
05:30but couldn't finish it.
05:33Nats looking to push.
05:34Powell, the athletic.
05:35Pop, and able to make it to the cup.
05:39Push the foul.
05:43Ada has been outplaying expectations to begin the season,
05:48and that's part of the reason why.
05:49Hold on a second.
05:52This is a preposterous notion.
05:57Man, jitters, shovels, wax in.
06:02Brown, trying to force it in.
06:04Garza couldn't control it.
06:06Porter looking to win the race.
06:07Euros and finishes.
06:10That started with it.
06:1112 points for Michael Porter Jr.
06:13He's two of two from downtown.
06:15His wife floats that one in.
06:17His first field goal tonight.
06:18His first points in the night.
06:20What's your point about Garza?
06:21Garza, I feel like in spontaneity,
06:24it's done a nice job recognizing that
06:25and forcing him to move around.
06:28Williams, the hesitation.
06:30Oh, and with the lefty pizza pie.
06:33Tough take against the defender.
06:35Here's Brown.
06:36Lost the handle.
06:37Already 10 Celtics turnovers.
06:40Simons connects.
06:44And here's the thing, though, with the Celtics.
06:47So maybe I'll have to be to it.
06:49To answer your original question.
06:51He's still.
06:52Grinchard connects on another three.
06:56His fourth of the half.
06:58He could make some deep ones, too, with hands in his face.
07:01Coming off a game in which he had eight threes.
07:04That's just fourth, but four.
07:05Six.
07:06Porter.
07:07I mean, it's unbelievable.
07:09Some of the degree of difficulty for closeouts.
07:11It's like he is just looking straight at the rim and it's the same release point.
07:15Oh, nice look for Dwight and Walsh bangs it in.
07:22Five-point ball.
07:23He's really playing well.
07:25Porter has sides on Simons.
07:27Giving it up through two.
07:29Clowney in the corner.
07:30You bet.
07:31Job of reading it and then a second pass is made.
07:35Simons.
07:36Jitters.
07:37Takes.
07:37And hits.
07:39Okay, let's go.
07:40I mean, I don't know if these coaches happy with this defensive line.
07:42Pritchard.
07:45You got it?
07:46Yeah.
07:47Okay.
07:48Walsh able to finish with the left hand through the body of Sharp.
07:53I'll just save.
07:59Sharp comes up with a steal.
08:00It's the 11th turnover for Boston.
08:02Y'all, man.
08:04You bet.
08:05Diego.
08:07His three for three.
08:12Pritchard pirouetting.
08:15White got open.
08:16Hits from downtown.
08:22Pritchard.
08:23Behind the back.
08:25Gunnix.
08:27On his fifth three of the half.
08:29That was smooth.
08:32Four-point Celtics lead.
08:34Gilman.
08:36Will fire.
08:38Hits hit.
08:40Another.
08:41For the teenager.
08:42Yegor, four threes in this first half.
08:4412 points for you.
08:46What sparked and what did you read in that game that allowed you to get to those open spots?
08:49I think, first of all, a good quality screens from my teammates and shaping the floor the right way.
08:57I think that's something that we pursue every day in the practices.
09:00And, you know, we're doing it great.
09:02And that's how I get a better open shot.
09:0522 fast break points for you guys in this first half.
09:08How are you guys able to find that pace and get out on the run?
09:11I think it all comes from defense.
09:13You know, we really talk about before the game really being dialed in on the defensive end and convert these defensive stops into the offense and test breaks.
09:24Thanks, Yegor.
09:24Thank you, Corey.
09:25I would say exactly like Steph, but just a little.
09:28No, it's your birthday.
09:29We'll let you get away with it.
09:31On the attack.
09:33Clowney able to finish.
09:35Play weekdays.
09:37My dad's retired so he can play with me.
09:39It all works out.
09:39My dad carries the three.
09:44Did I give you more than you were expecting?
09:47Boston normally doesn't give up many points off turnovers and I'm going to be very good on the offensive glass.
09:53And another good dish from Paxton, his third assist.
10:03White trying to dance around Clowney able to toss it in.
10:08He was expecting.
10:15Brown slicing, bodying, finishing.
10:19Plus the foul.
10:20The wave pull of Typhoon Lagoon I was in last week.
10:23Wow.
10:23It is strong.
10:25Like really strong.
10:26Knocked me and Evie right over.
10:28Needed Garrett Horace.
10:31As Brown buries the three in the net.
10:34Need a timeout.
10:37This next football on the sun.
10:38Thank you, Sarah.
10:39Congratulations.
10:40You made it.
10:40It's a big deal.
10:41I appreciate that.
10:42Love you, my dad.
10:43Love you.
10:44Minot hits the three.
10:47In this, I mean, he's 7 of 13, 3 of 6, 5 of 5 for free throw line.
10:51He's been really efficient.
10:53Brown elevates and backs it in.
10:58Here's Powell, bouncing, sharp, kicking.
11:03Williams hitting from three.
11:07Now Joe Mazzoula will call a timeout.
11:11Powell, the net's down 7, 2.45 to go in the third.
11:15Sharp.
11:16Brown uses size on Brown.
11:18And does.
11:21Powell.
11:22Off to Martin.
11:24Martin lobbing it up.
11:25Beautiful set.
11:26It's sharp, hoops the alley.
11:30Powell.
11:32Gets Pritchard on his hip.
11:34Forces it up.
11:35Doesn't get the roll, but that's okay.
11:38Day-Day is there.
11:43Williams short, but gets the roll.
11:47How about that?
11:49A little high.
11:50Here's Williams.
11:53Looking to slide around Minot.
11:55Martin will take.
11:58And it's hit.
11:59Bradley rims down this way.
12:02Relax.
12:04Simons bounces.
12:06Tillman kicks.
12:08Brown cut it.
12:0917 and the third for Jalen Brown.
12:13Dishes.
12:15Mama Ruko makes a pineapple stuffing.
12:16That's to die for.
12:18Oh.
12:18I thought you were going to say the turkey.
12:20Porter.
12:21Cunnings.
12:23It's back in front.
12:26It's really, really valuable.
12:29Howser comes up with a steal.
12:30And the explosion to the rim.
12:32And you don't see him miss shots like that that often, but that's a nice little two-man
12:42game between him and Klaxon.
12:44White thought about it.
12:45Instead, will drive it and bank it in.
12:48Diego Gjelman.
12:50Here comes Boston.
12:51Five on four.
12:53Houser will fire.
12:56And hit from three.
12:59Timeout, Brooklyn.
13:00It is an eight-short, long rebound.
13:04Houser now with a chance.
13:06Can't hit.
13:07Another longboard.
13:09White in the corner.
13:11He got it.
13:12Fourth time's the charm for Boston.
13:16Players grow just as professionals in the lead.
13:21Houser, good closeout there from Clowney into the corner.
13:24White wide open.
13:25Cunnings on a three.
13:28Lead back.
13:29It's 11.
13:30We have three minutes to go.
13:34Brown.
13:35He got it.
13:3727 for Jalen Brown.
13:4021 of them that they need to execute.
13:44Jalen.
13:45Circles it back.
13:46Sharp spins in.
13:48Banks and Ian plus the foul.
13:49Brown.
13:50Brown.
13:50As Jordy Fernandez emptying the bench.
13:54De'Ron Sharp with a chance for three.
13:57Brown.
14:02Brown digs in and banks it home.
14:07Taking the rookie to school.
14:0829 for Brown.
14:0929 for Brown.
14:11The all-man can't hit sharp.
14:14Big time put back.
14:16Big time put back.
14:16Okay, Dave.
14:18Seems like he got up on that one.
14:21That's a strong put back.
14:23These latter minutes instead of running clock.
14:26Yeah.
14:26Richard pops in and a little cherry on top for Boston.
14:35Overall, and especially since the Nets will get to head to Boston and see this team in their next matchup.
14:41Sharp dumps that one in.
14:46Richard will dribble it out.
14:49The Nets drop their night straight against the Celtics.
