00:00Alright, we've got our halftime crew ready to go.
00:03Ahmed, take it away.
00:04Alright, thank you, Zora.
00:05Coming up on American Express at the half,
00:07Isaiah Thomas, Brad Doherty, Wemby
00:09showing us the full range of what, 7-footers?
00:11You've been preaching it for years, right?
00:13Oh yeah!
00:14Dunk it, dunk it, dunk it, dunk it, dunk it!
00:24Every time the Spurs are on,
00:25you've got to have both eyes on Victor Wemby and Yama.
00:2811 points in the first half.
00:30A one-legged three-pointer.
00:31Brad used to do that back in the day as well, right?
00:34Brad Doherty, Isaiah Thomas, Amitre.
00:37We'll recreate it here in a second here.
00:3911 points.
00:39You guys told me in the pregame show,
00:41there's not much you can game plan for a guy like Victor Wemby and Yama.
00:43How do you think the Cavs did?
00:45I thought the Cavs did an excellent job,
00:46but mostly I think the Spurs helped the Cavs a lot
00:49by not going to Wemby enough.
00:51You've got to take advantage of this skill set at half court,
00:54and you're not doing that.
00:55I mean, they outscored the Cavs 24-12 points in the paint.
00:58That tells me that there's an opportunity there.
01:00So we've got to have more of that.
01:02I would go at the Cavs and make them defend him every time down the floor.
01:06Collapse, make him throw the basketball out.
01:08They're not doing enough, I'm talking about the Spurs,
01:11of getting the ball to Wemby and Yama in the paint.
01:14So if you're the Cavaliers, you're still in this game,
01:17even with the Spurs doing some of the things they did.
01:20You've got Garland and Mitchell with just nine points combined.
01:23If you're them, what are you thinking right now, T?
01:26You're thinking two things.
01:27A, you've got to get to the foul line more, right?
01:30If you're Cleveland right now, you only got to the line six times.
01:34Six times.
01:34Right?
01:35San Antonio gets to the line 22 times.
01:37So second half, that's got to balance out.
01:40How does that balance out?
01:41You know, it's got to be with guard play.
01:43They've got to get to the paint.
01:44They've got to get to the basket and try to get to the foul line.
01:47Do they need a physical force?
01:48They do.
01:49The Cavs struggle running out to big leads,
01:52and then they let teams back in.
01:53They don't rebound the ball extremely well.
01:55They're going to have to play very physical in the second half.
01:57You've seen it in the past, though.
01:58And this is a huge game for Cleveland.
02:00No doubt about it.
02:00They've got to win this game because they're kind of teetering.
02:04Coming off a bad one, bad taste in their mouth,
02:06trying to get a better taste in this one.
02:08Second half still to come here.
02:0911 games going on today.
02:11I want to show you the closing seconds of the first half in Miami.
02:14Nuggets and heat.
02:15Nuggets on defense.
02:16You see Spencer Jones stepping on the left foot of Nikola Jokic.
02:20Jokic in immediate pain.
02:22Had to be helped off the court.
02:23Officially questionable with a left knee injury.
02:27Reportedly will not return in this game,
02:29but certainly concerning pictures.
02:31Very concerning.
02:32I mean, he's their one, but Spencer, you know,
02:35he may get cut tonight.
02:36Yeah.
02:37Three-time MVP.
02:38He has been very healthy in his career.
02:40Maybe having his best year.
02:46Number two of our NBC Peacock doubleheader Mavericks vs. Trailblazers.
02:52Denny Avdia may be the league's most improved player.
02:55A good one.
02:56Game number two when we're done in San Antonio.
02:58Tonight's American Express game you can trust.

03:47Checking in on the halftime line from DraftKings Sportsbook.
03:50Spurs were a three-and-a-half-point favorite at tip.
03:53Now up to five-and-a-half-point favorites with a six-point lead at the half.
03:58Off the backboard alley-oop.
04:01We saw it all in the first half.
04:02Get that.
04:03Get that.
04:04Second half next.
04:08A 55-49 advantage.
04:12And G. Hill.
04:13The Spurs have doubled up the Cavaliers in paint points.
04:16Big reason why.
04:17The guards.
04:18No question.
04:19All of the guards have really gotten into the action.
04:22They have a nice dribble drive off in San Antonio.
04:26And each one of the perimeter players have had their turn getting downhill, getting into the paint.
04:32Wimbayama only four points in the paint in that first half.
04:35So the guards getting it done for the Spurs.
04:39As you see the difference, the difference in paint points so far.
04:44I mentioned in that first meeting between these two teams, the Cavaliers had 80.
04:48Yes, 80 paint points.
04:51Did you say 18?
04:528-0.
04:53Oh, wow.
04:55Well, they had that big third quarter.
04:5944 points in the third quarter.
05:02The Cavs did in that game on December 5th.
05:04So we're going to replicate that here.
05:07But kind of a high-level first quarter.
05:09And a little bit of a sloppy second quarter for both teams here.
05:13And that's for a tag.
05:15And we start the third quarter with some sloppiness as the Cavaliers turn it over.
05:19Vassell will give it up to Fox.
05:21And Fox at the controls will set up the offense.
05:25The Cavaliers have won 11 of the last 13 meetings against San Antonio, including the last six.
05:34Fox spinning, sets up Vassell.
05:38Vassell double clutch, fires and hits.
05:41And not an organized possession there offensively for San Antonio, but Vassell bails them out.
05:49Nice mid-range jumper.
05:52Cavaliers need Mitchell to really get cooking.
05:54Mobley sets up Allen inside.
05:56Allen lost it.
05:58Mobley pull up over Wimpenyama well off the mark.
06:02Wimpenyama guarded both those peaks on that possession at the rim.
06:06Wimpenyama well off the mark on a three.
06:08He said it early, he would have made jump shots against San Antonio, particularly when Wimpeny's in the game.
06:16Wade got to the rack.
06:18Nice seal by Jared Allen.
06:20That's another one.
06:23Hit jump shots or another player seal off.
06:26Just scream to help.
06:29That should be a game plan right there.
06:3357-51.
06:34San Antonio.
06:35Vassell going to go and Allen here can't hit.
06:38Wade the rebound.
06:39Quickly head Mobley with the flush.
06:43What a dime for Darius Garland.
06:48Vince Johnson calls timeout.
06:51San Antonio's lead down to four.
06:55Right now on Peacock.
06:57Check out Peacock Performance View.
06:59A whole new way to watch with real-time stats, live shot data, and player tracking.
07:05Dive deeper into the action on Peacock.
07:11Cavaliers off to a fast start here in this third quarter.
07:14Arzora Stevenson caught up with Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson at halftime.
07:18Z?
07:19Yeah, Grady, the first thing he said to me was,
07:21we put the Spurs on the line too much in the first half.
07:24The Spurs had 22 free throw attempts in those first two quarters.
07:27He said, when you foul, you can't get your pace right.
07:29He wants you guys to keep attacking.
07:31He said, he can't be afraid to get into the paint.
07:34And as he was walking away, he said, oh yeah, and can we make some threes?
07:39They may just aim so far.
07:41They're shooting 32% from downtown.
07:44They are on a run right now.
07:45Nice speed.
07:46Garland diamond it up to start the third quarter.
07:49And I like Garland, how he's come out.
07:52Possession before that timeout, he found the streaking boldly in transition.
07:57And on that play right there, find an Allen.
07:59Garland moving well with that toe.
08:01Oh, throw it up.
08:02Wimpy somewhere.
08:05It's like a cheap comb right there.
08:08Wow.
08:0959-55.
08:11Pass inside.
08:17Jared Allen.
08:19Not enough on it.
08:20Couldn't find the angle.
08:22Castle pushing the tempo for San Antonio.
08:24Step through.
08:25Blocked.
08:26Reigning defensive player of the year.
08:27The rejection.
08:28Wimpy a good look.
08:30Heels on the logo.
08:31Shot won't fall.
08:32Heels on the lead.
08:33Heels on the lead.
08:34Heels on the lead.
08:35Heels on the lead.
08:36Heels on the lead.
08:37Heels on the lead.
08:38Heels on the lead.
08:39Stops at the elbow.
08:40Finds Allen.
08:41And he's fouled from behind.
08:43Going back to Zora's report.
08:45The Cavaliers did slow the game down themselves by fouling too much.
08:50Kind of mucked up any momentum.
08:53Got a better job here in this third quarter with the exception on that play.
08:57I'm not sure how you defend that.
09:00But the defense without fouling as Kenny Atkinson talked about with Zora there.
09:06That has really helped.
09:07Now they can get stops.
09:09Get out and transition.
09:11Slow things down.
09:12They want to play with pace.
09:14Not just in terms of you get pace.
09:15You think fast play.
09:16But you can play with pace within your half-court sets.
09:20Great ball movement.
09:21Great passing.
09:22Great energy.
09:24You're doing so.
09:25Usually the offense is rewarded.
09:2859-56.
09:29Allen splitting the pair at the free-throw line.
09:35Wimby Yama.
09:3713 points early on.
09:38Sets up Fox.
09:39Fox.
09:40Driving.
09:41Clothes it up.
09:42It's good.
09:43And that's so tough that that dribble handoff Wimby Yama.
09:45Wimby Yama.
09:46Mobley can't really help as Fox is turning the corner.
09:50If you help, they're gonna throw it to the rim for that easy too.
09:53Hey!
09:54Mobley.
09:55Mobley.
09:56Nice finish off the window for two.
09:59Cavaliers continuing to tighten this one up.
10:01Outside look bars wide open.
10:03No good.
10:04Wimby Yama.
10:05Wimby Yama.
10:06Made the grab and it's fouled on the interior.
10:09Wimby Yama.
10:1113 points.
10:14And Rippier on that last look like a defensive lineman getting to the quarterback.
10:18Just getting through all of that there.
10:20Looked like Reggie White.
10:21The late Reggie White.
10:22Showing his physical.
10:24Showing my age.
10:25I'm right there with you.
10:26Nine rebounds were women Yama as well.
10:27Fox.
10:28Nice to get back.
10:29Castle.
10:30No.
10:31He struggled from the three point line.
10:32Four of 17.
10:33San Antonio getting good looks.
10:34Just not able to convert.
10:35How about that crossover.
10:36Mitchell.
10:37Won't drop.
10:38Rebound Fox.
10:39Wimby's Russell.
10:40Throwing the Wimby.
10:41Oh.
10:42That was a collision at the top of the ladder.
10:45Mobley and Wimby Yama.
10:46And Wimby will go to the top of the ladder.
10:48Mobley and Wimby will go to the line for two.
10:49I'll tell you what.
10:50That's a lot of courage there for Mobley to go up and contest that.
11:05I'm impressed.
11:07Almost a spectacular play there.
11:10Wimby.
11:12Shiloh.
11:13Oh wow.
