00:30And good evening everyone along with Alan Hahn Mike Breen on hand as you can see from his tie he's very comfortable on Bourbon Street and someone already gave away all his beads we see Clyde by the way would love that tie that's why I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here
01:00Meanwhile the Knicks played some great team basketball recently and a huge part of it has been the production from the bench and not just one or two players everybody seems to be taking a turn McCullough in Atlanta Clarkson's been that spark
01:30hops on the floor has a chance to help us win and you know different guys it happens to different guys at different times and it's great for the confidence of that individual it's great for the confidence of the group
01:45but we're not looking for anybody to do anything extraordinary and in the last game Kevin didn't do anything he just played hard and took advantage of all the opportunities that were in front of him
01:59and more shuffling tonight Josh Hart still out Deuce McBride does return but now Mitchell Robinson will not play tonight but it doesn't matter right now Holland the bench has just done a great job and it was maybe the number one priority in the offseason yeah it certainly was depth was important development was important as well and next man up sounds like a cliche I understand it but it really has become the mentality of this team when you think about the players who have been called upon so far in this season to come into a game to fill a role every single one of them has made an impact they've come in
02:29with an understanding of their role and they have performed it and that's exactly what you ask for from your bench players and that's again the competitive nature of this team is not just in the star players it's also coming off the bench as for the opponents in New Orleans Pelicans they had a disastrous start to the season 3 and 22 in the first 25 games they still have the worst record in the West but they played better recently and a big part of that is Zion Williamson's back in the lineup when he's healthy he's a great player he certainly is he has so many abilities but he lacks to for that
02:59his career one of course durability the other one availability and those are things that they have been trying to work with with him to keep him on the floor because as you said when he's on the court he's one of the best players in the league certainly one of the most breathtaking players in the NBA but he's in his seventh season he's only played 45 percent of the game so far for the Pelicans they need that number to go up but they also need him to do more as a leader in the face of the franchise he's working on it he came into the season saying it feels good to feel
03:29right now it just feels good for the Pelicans to see him in uniform if you're an NBA fan you just want him to be healthy because he is such a fantastic player such a highlight film waiting to happen those are his numbers so far this season there are some good young talent on this team Derek Queen the rookie from Maryland he just turned 21 on Saturday putting up some terrific numbers as well not only production wise but entertainment wise as well so Knicks and Pelicans remember the Knicks start of the season 0 and 4
03:594 on the road but they're playing some really good basketball recently they're 6 and 3 on the road in the last 9 games including a couple of neutral site victories a chance to continue that here tonight Knicks and Pelicans next on MSG
04:13shortly Jalen Brunson has been great of late we are watching greatness it seems on a nightly basis the other night against Atlanta 34 points without attempting a single free throw
04:29his career average as a Knick in 238 games is now 26.7 that's the most a Knick has ever averaged in a minimum of 100 games that's how great Jalen Brunson is playing that's how great this season for him is unfolding and this is after of course last year's heroics he seems to be getting better and better 34 points the other night against Atlanta and as always captain clutch with a key 3 in the final minute of the game
04:57Cesar Sportsbook presents tonight's advanced stats look at the run for Brunson of the last 9 games 33.3 points 50% shooting and look at the number from downtown 43% over 6 assists a game in 37 minutes per game of playing time so we're about ready for the opening tip up next with Mike and Alan Knicks basketball about to begin right here
05:19Welcome back to New Orleans as the Knicks continue this road trip
05:26Knicks come in with a record of 22-9 overall 6-7 on the road starting line was presented by Genesis
05:33Mo Diwaro will start for the third time this season again Josh Hart still out with his spring tackle expected to return after the break the rest of the starting five remains the same
05:43Jeremiah Fears is 19 Derek Queen just turned 21 some youth for the Pelicans Trey Murphy starting to play well and Sadiq Bey healthy again
05:53Bryce McGowan continues to start we have received word that Zion Williamson was going to start tonight but that is not the case meanwhile find your pace
06:02Oh and now they do have him out there so those starting lineups were not correct but Williamson is starting
06:10Well Brunson
06:15Guarded by Murphy
06:17Now we can see here at home
06:216-14 making okay at home a disaster on the road
06:26Diawara with the shot clock of six as the height advantage goes inside and gets the roll
06:35There's just something about the eye test with Diawara
06:39The Knicks found something in this young man. There's a long way to go, but they found something his motor jumps off the screen and his recognition as well
06:47Yeah, the mismatch took it
06:50Queen takes that shot and Bridges with the rebound
06:56Jalen Brunson is perhaps you heard Bill Pito in the pregame putting up tremendous numbers recently
07:02Diawara knocks down a three how about that start you just see again, we've seen with all the young players the confidence going by the game
07:11Nice feet inside
07:13It's a deep bait another Nova guy able to get that to go
07:16Downs as the Mitch Matt mismatch with fear zone and it only goes to the corner his three-pointer don't go
07:28Good rebound from Williamson
07:31Rows it ahead Murphy Murphy a good three-point shooter goes inside this time and backs it home impressive move with some contact
07:38Brunson racing up the floor right-handed that shot misses quick rebound
07:45from Queen
07:47It's a deep thing nails the three-pointer they like the pace during the top ten in the NBA in pace and in December they lead the NBA in pace
07:57Playing over 105 pace get up and down quickly
08:00Bridges in traffic finds Ananobi Ananobi comes up short
08:07We can handle it for big man stolen by deal our terrific hands fears bumps him you are it gets inside misses it
08:14And picked up by Bay terrific defensive play just couldn't quite finish
08:18Bayes quick jumpers good and he has been a nice story for them been out a year and a half missed all of last season towards ACL
08:29Back in March of 2024
08:31Not only is he back but he's playing very well
08:37This is something Mike Brown wants to see more is cat has the role or the top guy although Brunson takes it and gets the N1
08:44It looked like it was more of a foul on the drive to the basket than it was in the actual shot
08:51It's so crafty again Brunson. Yeah, right there was the initial one right on the body contact
08:59Brunson doing what he does
09:01Getting a mismatch and getting the bucket on your pace presented by experience
09:05Abu Dhabi on your keys. Well, let's just go with the three hours rebound
09:09No, Mitchell Robinson. No, Josh Hart and the Pelicans have been getting killed on the boards
09:13It's been a number one priority for them and Knicks have to make up for it rim. We saw it already go at the rim
09:20No shot blocking presence on this
09:23Pelicans team and run
09:25We also saw a transition got a match up because they're going to want to get down the floor and score quickly before your defense gets set
09:31There's Kevin Cutler the crew chief the shot clock did not start
09:35And the Pelicans are bringing the ball up. So we're going to take three seconds off the 24 o'clock
09:43There's queen green amongst a lot of the top marks on the working ranks as Trey Murphy launches the three-pointer
09:55Thanks, Morrego talked before the game Murphy's
09:58Emergence as a go-to score as there's OG
10:02That's inside. I can't get it to fall
10:04Towns had it lost it clean good presence of activity there
10:08Here comes Murphy to clean through his hands Dioara has it Brunson looks ahead
10:13Brunson has the numbers Towns goes inside finds Bridges and Bridges the quick release
10:21Well, you can see what the Pelicans want to do they want the pace of the absolute highest
10:28Beers gets inside well defended by Bridges
10:30Jalen Brunson and Bridges both converge it's going to be on Brunson the foul and free throws
10:39for Sadiq Bay
10:41Second time Bay has gotten Brunson on him
10:44And he goes green light the minute he sees Brunson is a little bit smaller than him
10:49Villanova guys going head-to-head, you know, you were talking about Bay Mike
10:53You talk about he missed 19 months of basketball
10:57And when he comes back he said I have a new gratefulness for the game now
11:02And that he doesn't take this game at all for granted
11:05You spend that much time away from the game. It's amazing how much you fall back in love with it
11:10Well, you realize that it could be taken away in a flash and those injuries or
11:15Players who never have any kind of serious injury at any point in his career. It can be very daunting
11:21Such a mental game coming back as well
11:24And an OB good contests by Williamson got a piece of it
11:29Murphy the other way
11:32Murphy step back way outside
11:36Barley Anthony Towns comes the other way
11:38Brunson matched that one down hits the three-pointer and Jalen Brunson off to a good start
11:50Just love the Brunson Towns pick and roll tandem either way finds finds points
11:57Williamson foul shot no good
12:00As Carl Anthony Towns will pick up his first
12:03We saw in Atlanta a lot of pick and roll
12:06With Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns
12:08Right before that three
12:10Comfortable
12:12Square up and shoot three there from Brunson
12:14But that was a screen from Towns
12:16So he's a good screener
12:18And they took advantage of him as a role man in this game right now Brunson is taking advantage as
12:24The handler in the pick and roll
12:27Williamson for two Williamson has missed 16 games this year
12:31Most recent left hand string
12:33Missed 10 games an adductor injury with five
12:36He's played in 18 and as we said he
12:39He's coming off the bench for 10 games but now back in the starting lineup
12:48Williamson it's one of two
12:51Mixed trail by one
12:55Brunson lurking
12:59Height advantage for Towns Bay guarding in Dior
13:03Shot clock at seven
13:04Hewara tries another three-pointer and it's good
13:09Oh Dioro off to a great start
13:13Shooting with confidence yet another young nick ready to play when called the ball
13:18Williamson gets inside lowers the shoulder can't get it and an obi snatches the rebound
13:26Right ground very active calling out plays early as Carl Anthony Towns can't get it
13:31Brunson almost had it out of the Packers feelers struggles with the dribble hangs on goes inside layup is no good
13:38Dioro the rebound throws it ahead perfect pass to Brunson to Towns and Towns is fouled
13:46Towns with a little bit of an awkward landing there Daniel Brunson checking on him
13:51Yes, it was
13:53Left knee
13:55We'll take a timeout
13:57We'll check out Towns as it is in your DNA
14:01Luckily caesar sportsbook keeps up
14:03It's quick and easy to use just place your bets in a few taps
14:07Without missing a single play
14:13Picks up to first quarter here in new orleans rookie mohamed diowara already with a career high here in the first quarter
14:20Came in ready to go as he had a mismatch on the very first possession and took it right to the rack
14:25And then felt like he was in rhythm after making a layup knocked down a corner three
14:28How about some defense as well? There's one of his two steals?
14:31And then laid the shot clock he also decided i'm gonna put up another three so there's two threes for him right there three for four shooting
14:38Eight points two steals and a rebound as well a great start for the youngsters the average is
14:431.4 points per game
14:44But as we've said you just by the eye test you watch he knows how to play he's got a good feel the coaching staff constantly talks about
14:54When they tell him a certain defensive scheme or how this office offensive play
14:59Works he's always in the right spot and that's unusual for such a young player
15:03Yeah, he has uncanny comprehension for a young player right when he's told what to do
15:08He understands it remembers it and sticks with it
15:11And that's important and that's how you get on the floor and there was just something about him mike brown said
15:15I just felt like I needed to give him minutes
15:19Carl anthony towns who spent a lot of time at the free throw line in 18 free throw attempts
15:26The other night in atlanta 17 of 18 had that 36 point game
15:33He's on a good stretch right now
15:35In terms of free throw shooting let me hear that it's a great free throw shooter
15:38But he had one stretch earlier where it's a literally consistent he's back on target
15:46The good news is after that a little bit of an awkward fall on the foul he
15:50Right back in the game knocks him down and stays in the game
15:52See queen handling the ball up top an excellent passer for a big man morning has a triple-double so deep bay gets inside like soft touch
16:04They is just seeking out matchups and taking them one-on-one so far early on here before the injury bad some some good seasons in detroit
16:12He actually got a 51 point game
16:15Towns puts it on the floor drives against come on looney and banks at home
16:18Interesting looney in the game early they need size clearly he has not played a lot
16:26He's only played in 12
16:28Up there 33 games so far the former goldwood state warrior was such a big part of their championships as a role player
16:36Murphy chasing brunson brunson gets inside flips it up off the glass can't get it rebound towns knocked away
16:43Good interior defense that time
16:46Queen comes the other way
16:47Murphy throws it ahead bay no hesitation nails the three so deep bay looking sharp early wow he's off to a great start
16:54He's got 13 points five for five with two threes as well
16:58He has 33 points all season coming into this game he's got 11 in the first quarter and we still have five and a half to go
17:06No hesitation either mike he's catching shoot in rhythm
17:23They just as aggressive down the other end there's a good job drawing a foul on an obi first foul on og and an obi bait to the line
17:32You see the ball moving for the Knicks in the corner threes a big shot for the Knicks they take the most they make the most
17:37They shoot a high percentage from there and do are knocking down his second corner three of this game is third three overall
17:43His defense right now is ahead of his offense
17:51But you just see but it's catching up right with each game it's catching up and he's got a pretty good handle for a guy at six nine
17:58Well his feel like you're just watching him
18:01On defense his anticipation his feel his understanding of when to go for it
18:06That's all those are things that aren't taught
18:09Beyond the raw skills
18:11You have a Sally who've been out of the rotation
18:13He comes in towns will sit down but 40 also in for the first time
18:18You have to give mike brown so much credit
18:20He's not hesitant to give these players chances in big moments in important games early in the season
18:29And also smart to stay big lineup against the team that doesn't have a lot of size
18:34And you have a selling call for a travel
18:40These are important minutes for yago sell he was just found himself out of the rotation
18:45And really has a lot of pride
18:48And also keep in mind too that there are other teams that need size that might be watching
18:54Jordan pool in the game
18:57Will obtain from washington in the offseason
18:59They on the floor another villain over against villanova
19:03Cool no hesitation there rattles that one in they are shooting
19:07Extremely well from three-point range now four of six
19:12And the pelicans back up by one brunson the fake jump shot can't get it murphy high for the rebound
19:17Good ball movement pool again that one too strong offensive board come on looney
19:27murphy behind the back gets inside kicks it out bay finds a spot checks his feet nails another one so deep bay
19:3518 points here in the first quarter
19:39He hasn't missed mike six for six
19:43Runs it inside off the glass can't get back to fall murphy the rebound
19:47Again the pelicans look to push
19:50High scoring start in the first eight minutes of this one
19:54Bay drives reverse not that time tipped by queen knocked away by brunson brunson throws it ahead what a pass diowara catches and finishes
20:03A gorgeous look ahead from jalen brunson and diowara now
20:09With 13.0 the first quarter
20:17Looney looking
20:21You have a silly garden queen
20:25Murphy shot clock winding down pool to bay bay does he continue yes sadiq bay lighting it up
20:32Four for four from three point range he has 21 of the 30 points
20:38It's the monte awara sadiq bay show right now here in new orleans as expected
20:45Bridges on the ball his jump shot is good
20:47Bay even shook his head after making that one he knows it and fuego get him the ball
20:56Jordan pool drives blocked by huck 40 but a foul
21:02Yeah, we'll have a timeout everybody catch their breath especially foe diowara and sadiq bay
21:08He came into this game shooting looking for his shot he got into early rhythm
21:12And now he's just feeling it
21:14Where's the shrug snicks now down by three our range rover sport dynamic performance sadiq bay having the quarter of his career right now
21:23Yeah, he has not I mean you think about the looks he's getting from three-point range wide open looks
21:304-4 the knicks are going to want to match up with him the pelicans are not a high three-point volume team
21:35But if you're being left that wide open and you're a shooter like sadiq bay
21:40You're going to be a high volume three-point shooter and right now he is
21:43Another one of those villanova guys. He also went to the same high school as josh hart did
21:50Art was a senior he was in eighth grade
21:52But he said that the sadiq bay would play in the open gym with them
21:56Sometimes as a kid and again
21:58You root for a guy who is such a devastating injury. You lose your confidence takes a while
22:03He said that trade too when he was traded felt so good that somebody wanted him because you questioned
22:08Can you come back from such a severe injury especially being out that long when he's every sign with the wizards when he came back?
22:15You know interesting when he was with the hawks he injured his
22:18He injured the knee against the pelicans
22:21And so finds himself with the pelicans to rejuvenate his career and he's having a great start to
22:27His second year in detroit
22:29He averaged a career high of 16 points per game that was the year he had the 51 point game at 10 threes in the game
22:35Right now he's got four threes and 21 points
22:40Five-point lead for the pelicans jordan clarkson nice feet inside and an obi kicks it out. Yeah, but silly tries his three-pointed. That's good
22:47And again, that has to feel so good for yava selling when you're in his position every play takes on this this huge implications
22:55Perceived or not
23:00Bay kicks it out another three-pointer that won't go on an obi good boxing out grabs the rebound
23:07And the outlet was intended for brunson but clarkson
23:11inadvertently tried to grab it and
23:14It deflected out of bounds so the second turnover for the knicks
23:17That has always quietly been a key for the knicks success
23:24Turnovers the low turnover teams it makes such a difference. Yeah, there's no question and for them also
23:30When they force turnovers they turn with the points one of the best in the league and making you pay
23:37Right now three-point defense has to tighten up
23:39They have a selling guarding pool makes it put her on the floor nice defense, but not be out of selling then moved
23:46And pool fell down. So two free throws to jordan pool
23:50tough matchup for the big man, but
23:53He feels a bit of a bailout there pool had nothing
23:56Just found a way to take contact and fall
24:00Pool can still have a
24:0230-point game on any given night
24:05That has been a bit of a struggle for him this year
24:10Well tip off the new year at the garden nicks face the hawks
24:14January 2nd
24:16Tip off shortly after 7 30 scan the qr code to visit mix.com to purchase tickets
24:23Williamson back in come on looney sits down james borrego is now the coach willie green got fired after 12 games
24:31Mario of course was a head coach of charlotte for four years and his pool locks down the second
24:36The team has played much better
24:39They had a five-game winning streak before their current three-game losing streak
24:43Two of those losses at home to phoenix those last two games
24:48Brunson nice sidestep and a foul
24:56Pool didn't think so well not known for his defense
24:59No, you know he he swiped
25:02Got it right on him yeah right on the timex
25:11So brunson to the free throw line the game in atlanta the other night was the first game this season
25:17Jalen brunson did not take a free throw
25:19And it's so unusual and another great game 30 points plus
25:23I had not had to get to the free throw line some might say a ethical game
25:30Chance of mvp on the road as usual
25:35There are so many nick fans and especially in some of the cities where the team is struggling
25:40It's easy to nick fans to get tickets and certainly easier for them to be heard
25:45Shot blocked by an obi a three-point attempt
25:49Sadiq bay is going to try again and there's a miss williamson the rebound on the stuff
25:54Hawkins and mc you've come on for the pelicans
26:03And an obie swings it
26:05Jordan clocks it
26:07Gets inside in the paint
26:10And another foul
26:11And more free throws for the Knicks who've already taken
26:15Five free throws
26:16The Knicks defense is trying to be aggressive here. What a great block for an an obi he and brunson go for the ball
26:22They don't get it and it leads to a shot
26:25An offensive rebound for zion williamson who does that better than just about anybody in the league speaking of offensive rebounding mike
26:31Clarkson makes the free throw
26:33Only have one offensive rebound in this first quarter
26:37And they've missed 11 shots and this is not typical of them and not typical of the pelicans
26:41They're 28th in the league in defensive rebounding
26:43But it is something they have talked about these last couple of days
26:47And james morego said we have got to be better especially against a team like the knicks it's gonna focus
26:52Grant and robert hussey having quite the enjoyable conversations you can make in the refs laugh
26:59Two-point game just under a minute and a half remaining here. What's been a pretty eventful first quarter
27:05next point in some zone
27:07Williamson kicks it out
27:09Poole thought about it shuffles it off sadique bay finding some room that one's short and Clarkson grabs
27:15Oh
27:20Boxing in the corner yaviselle tries the right side and hits her shot yaviselle with a pair of three-pointers
27:28Yaviselle and diawara
27:31Having an impact there in the first quarter pool nearly lost it
27:35Now he fires away and that's good
27:38He's got unlimited range
27:42And unlimited unconsciousness with that range
27:45He will take it not hesitate
27:48Well, we've seen 13 three-pointers made 13 of 23 from the two teams combined brunson against hawkins
27:59Jumper won't go fight for the rebound sadique bay
28:02Pull on the drop falls down
28:08He's still down bay gets inside lays it up and in
28:11Players all over the floor right now and stolen by bay on the inbound their hole at first shot
28:15Yaviselle threw it ahead and brunson did not expect that
28:25Pulling it down he's ready to launch one
28:27Launch one here you have a cell he picks him up step back fives the three
28:32And yaviselle the rebound and that ends
28:35The first quarter a wild first quarter yaviselle did hit a couple of threes but a costly turnover before
28:41However mo de awara in just his third start
28:45With a career-high 13 points however for the knicks
28:49So deep bay at 23
28:52We've played one here in new orleans high scoring start four scoring first quarter already 41 37 after one
28:59Live bets and same game parlays for tonight's game are available now on fando
29:04And of course knicks basketball presented by chase
29:0841 37
29:10After the first quarter a reminder this holiday season join pepsi in celebrating the rockettes
29:16during their
29:17100th year
29:20What was the biggest surprise mo de awara or sadique bay bay isn't a surprise it's more of just
29:26You know an awesomeness as far as the shooting goes with the four or five from three 23 points in a quarter
29:31And the pelicans hitting 7 of 14 that's but but de awara 13 points leading the knicks after one quarter
29:37I would say that's the surprise and a child will lead them
29:41Kolick parkson in the backcourt williamson drives inside misses towns the rebound
29:46Bridges back to carl anthony towns
29:52Bridges had it lost it gets it out to kolick
29:56Kolick getting into the paint behind the back
29:58Spins head fake foul shot won't go but free throws
30:02Nice little fake for color and he will head to the free throw line
30:06That's a tough take against a bigger player
30:09He was aggressive
30:11All the way to the basket exactly what he wanted to do
30:15Confidence is effervescing for goal
30:18Like a peavey the foul looking for georgetown colic's only taken 11 free throws on the season 7 for 11
30:31Free throw shooting was huge the other night
30:33And against the atlanta hawks nicks were 27 32
30:38Plus 18 on the rebounding but they gave up 70 points in the second half and came up 41
30:45And they gave up a lot of threes in that third quarter that allowed the hawks to get back
30:49And that's why the three-point defense that first quarter is alarming
30:53By the way that 41 points nicks gave up in the first most they've given up in any quarter this season
30:58Here's hawkins hawkins finds his spot jump shot will go
31:07Hawkins the former yukon star five-point lead for the pelicans
31:16Colic to towns towns fakes gets looney up in the air towns down the lane swatted out of bounds by williamson
31:22Mixon inbound at half court with six on the 24 impressive play from zion williamson the entire pelicans defense converged on cat right there and
31:35Zion williamson just
31:37I mean he levitates when he jumps
31:40Again not only just an amazing talent with such an entertaining player colic gets inside whips at the ananobi back up Clarkson
31:47And did not get it off in time 24 second violation
31:51And no we even know the pass went to
31:55Clarkson's feet so he had to catch it low and there was no time at that point to put it up
32:00fourth turnover
32:05Williamson pool looney
32:10Hawkins
32:12Williamson calling for it ananobi with the steal
32:17Colic to clarkson clarkson this time has a little more of a handle can't get it and ananobi grabs the rebound
32:22Colic whips it up top towns fake one dribble back to colic
32:27left wing three it's good tyler colic from downtown mix shooting so well from long distance now seven of twelve
32:34It's good to push good transition defense from new orleans
32:52And ananobi's got hawkins on him goes inside foul won't go
32:58And ananobi just so strong
33:00And you know you see it there obviously in the in the offensive side
33:03But I think mike what i've been impressed with
33:05Is the strength he's showing you when guarding zion
33:08He had a great block on a zion drive to the basket and then that steal off a post up
33:13Resign williamson is one of the probably one of the strongest players in the league
33:17And he couldn't hold off ananobi on that play
33:20By the way the the first results on all-star voting from the fans have come in jalen brunson number
33:27Number three carl anthony towns number seven in the east
33:31og ananobi was number 13
33:33Well that might not seem like high up but the fact that people now are recognizing
33:38Just what a great impact player he is at both ends of the floor
33:42ananobi's he's not going to make the all-star team voted in
33:45But there's a really good chance the coaches will select him as a reserve mike brown has talked about that
33:51So i'm going to lay up my ground i don't like it
33:53Not happy at all with the defense as the pelicans continue to score it will zion williamson now at seven points
34:04Just seeing him on the floor for the pelicans is a good thing but seeing him finish at the basket is a great thing
34:14Buddy nick fans here in new orleans nicks trail by four just over two minutes gone by in the second the voting period for the
34:192026 nba all-star game officially open you can vote once a day every day from now until january 14th at the knicks.com
34:27All-star to learn more
34:29And send your favorite players who you think are deserving of the all-stars we mentioned jalen brunson number three carl anthony towns number seven
34:37bridges 13 but
34:39Bridges was 15 we mentioned og ananobi bridges 15 and josh hart was 16
34:44It's going to be hard to get three knicks on there but if the knicks continue to win like this
34:48There's a good chance the coaches will take an ananobi will take a josh hart
34:53Because of the way they impact winning at both ends of the floor it's night in and night out
34:59Kola gets inside layup block that was close to a goaltend if not that was a sensational rejection williamson inside
35:07And hit the wire up top don't believe it was touched by any nick the pelicans are saying it was
35:16Now they change it and say it's going to be new orleans ball by the way deuce mcbride is in the game
35:21Good to see him back after missing the last eight with his ankle injury
35:26Looney to pool
35:35Going pool felt some contact knocks down the shot and one that's what pool is capable of an explosion
35:42Offensively because he has no conscience and unlimited range
35:47He has great feel when it comes to a score and he also just knows he's got you on his back
35:52As he snakes around and when you're deuce mcbride you're doing the right thing
35:55You've got to follow him over the screen because of what you said about
35:58His ability to shoot from well beyond the arc
36:01That was a clever play from pool. He's such a momentum player. He's a rhythm guy if one or two go in
36:06He suddenly can go on a run if he misses a couple he could have a mess of a game
36:11He's averaging 16 a game he's got 13 already and this is the largest lead of the first half by either team
36:18Kevin mcculler in the game now get some early minutes
36:23And it'll be nice fake drive inside and the flush strong move from og and an obi
36:29Williamson looking one-on-one with carl anthony towns and that's going to be two fouls on towns
36:43That was an interesting switch there we'll get to in a moment
36:45But right now og and an obi on the baselines they want to close out those corner threes
36:49He'll gladly take the high percentage to look at him fly to the rim in the finish
36:53So zion williamson seven points
37:03I'll tell you that the pelicans are hunting matchups early on between bay and williamson
37:09And pool as well, but really a lot of zion williamson trying to get and it'll be off of him
37:15You don't think about zion williams. He's he's still only 25 years old
37:19That's seven years has been a league came in at 19 year old
37:24Mcbride his first shot in a while too strong williamson the rebound looks to push
37:30This what makes him dangerous in the open floor. He's got a good handle
37:33Great quickness for a man his size drives inside banks at home and right at carl anthony towns
37:40Yeah, the Knicks are down by nine
37:44Towns tries to answer and does a three-pointer
37:48His first of the game and the Knicks eighth already
37:56Williamson that's three fouls on towns he sought him out mike sought him out
38:03The Knicks fans are booing the call here watch here is
38:10Towns said that's an elbow in my jaw. He wanted to call the other way
38:15And he's still turning to kevin cutler saying like how is that not a foul on him?
38:19He hit me in the face
38:21But this is like this is several possessions that
38:25Zion has looked to find ways to get the switch and get on to towns seeking him out
38:30Again no mitchell robinson of this game load management
38:35Now the cell he's going to get a
38:37Another turn you have a silly playing early play five minutes at a couple of threes
38:43Towns has one last word for kevin cutler before he goes to the bench
38:47He did he did get hit in the face with an elbow. Yep. His last foul was
38:52Was look oh yeah first one he had he had a legitimate beef as well
38:55But you see the pelicans getting towns out of the game changes the game for them
38:59They really don't have an answer for him inside the paint presented by benjamin moore
39:04Pelicans that's what they do and that's what zion williamson does get in the paint
39:09There's a foul on williamson smart play from ananobi
39:13Lot of chirping right now with the officials
39:17And not a lot of defense. Oh, well, that's the problem
39:19This the pelicans are bringing physicality to this game
39:22You could tell they had a five-game winning streak. They were feeling good. They lost three in a row
39:26And they don't want to have that feeling again
39:29You get a bad start to the season. They don't want to go back there
39:32They look at this game as a big physical challenge for them against a really good next team
39:36And an obi hits the free throw and an obi had four clutch free throws
39:41In a final minute in Atlanta and victory against the hawks the other night
39:44Williamson gets a nice ovation hawkins and pb sit down as well
39:48Murphy returns as the sadiq bay
39:5113 for zion in 11 minutes
39:56And an obi five points three boards a steal and a block already
40:00Continues his good free throw shooting
40:03Brunson and towns
40:05Remain on the bench and it'll be just under 80 percent
40:09from the line on the season
40:11We played four minutes here in the second murphy trying to create some space can't get that and an obi grabs another rebound
40:21Kola
40:22And an obi the crossover gets inside layup won't go fight for the rebound. I know it gets it back
40:27But it was yada selli who kept it alive
40:30And the pelicans will call timeout the knicks back within four
40:34Big og and obi minutes here as carinthony towns in foul trouble jaylen brunson on the bench who do the knicks go to
40:41Well, you want to be an all-star when you're on the floor and you're making a difference like this for your team
40:45You have a great chance to be one
40:53No flight
40:56It's just a flight
40:59It's your next step
41:01Thank you. You're gonna do great and at delta we're proud to help you take it
41:08Entertaining first half especially those who love offense next trail by four
41:15You're in the second time now for a trivia question brought to you by cadillac as we mentioned carl anthonytown
41:2117th free throws on saturday in atlanta made 17 which two players
41:25Hold the nick record for most free throws made in a game post your answer using
41:30Hashtag cadillac trivia
41:33Let you ponder that for a bit
41:36Fears back in the game sadiq bay was unstoppable in that first quarter gets away and lost
41:41Good defense first from kevin mccullough. Well, he can he can really defend
41:45Nice feet inside and an obi kicks it out in the corner mcbride can't hit the three mc with the rebound
41:57He's been out a while. He's got to calibrate man. He was on fire before that ankle injury from three
42:03Queen those in the corner
42:05Good closeout by mcbride fears launches that one and an air ball
42:10That is not his forte
42:13Jeremiah fears 19 year old rookie was the seventh overall pick
42:17By the pelicans play this one year of college ball of oklahoma chicago kid
42:25And it'll be guarded by mc
42:27And it only likes to mismatch here fears trying to pester him they go back up top colic straight on three
42:36Yada silly with a rebound
42:38Yada silly making plays out there and an obi now tries a three
42:42And a rebound goes to murphy it's going cold from downtown
42:51Murphy up top derrick queen
42:54Drives down a lane can't get the shot to go knocked out of bounds last touched by yada selling
42:59As huck 40 is going to check back in now we mentioned for the knicks no mitchell robinson tonight. No josh hart as well
43:07But the pelicans missing the jantae murray still hasn't played is he coming back from achilles injury?
43:11Hasn't played once this year jose alvarado two game suspension for a fight with mark williams punches thrown and herb jones
43:19Is missing his fourth consecutive game with an ankle injury?
43:24Green drives a three comes up short
43:28And bay gets it boy mike brown furious offensive foul call hook who draws the charge mcculler
43:35He had to have done something there because his coach was irate that bay got to this ball and he didn't so mcculler
43:41It takes a beating to draw the charge because he let him go
43:46To get that ball when he was doing a good job defending him on that play mike brown
43:51Said a naughty word after that he had the offensive rebound he was half and mad now he's an exorcism
43:58A 40 comes to set the screen call it goes the other way good defense from fears to poke it away fears down the other end
44:05shot missed but nope
44:10It's counting it yeah, and they do count it looked like it may have been up above the cylinder when he touched it first
44:15But the cat in the basket is it hook was a hug 40 on the block
44:19must have been
44:23Here comes mcbride mcbride finds his spot his jump shot got it
44:27See if that gets him going he's he was in such a great rhythm before that injury
44:37Fears working his way good job from tyler colic defensively
44:42Misi puts it on the floor the color gets out on sadiq bay fighting over the screen good help and recover
44:48Bay the spin move mcculler stays right with him bay tries again count it and a foul
44:53That was some great defense just better offense on that play one more step that extra footwork from bay
44:59veteran experience versus a younger defender because you're right
45:03That almost looked like a standstill they had one more move left in his bag
45:08And he got the end one
45:11Just battling battling
45:13Oh that one right there
45:15So the bay now at twenty five
45:19His average is just under 15 a game for the season
45:22He had twenty three points in that first quarter the color will sit down
45:28Meanwhile Mike the Knicks have played eleven
45:30Players in this first half the color was the 11th and just checked out
45:36All ground using his bench and trying to just get minutes and
45:40Also limit minutes for some of his starters early in the game mix down seven again
45:49Ariel Huckporty
45:51Hands off
45:53McBride
45:54Seven on the 24 bridges to brunson brunson fires away. That's short
45:59And a bunch of just two of eight to start
46:08Fears kicks it out in the corner murphy to close out from jaylen brunson murphy now puts it on the floor drives wild shot well defended by brunson
46:16Brunson
46:25Bridges to brunson brunson steps in and knocks down that three-pointer that's his second three-pointer of the game and the Knicks back within four
46:34It's a nine of 19 from three who's their number four in the nba overall three-point percentage
46:41Queen can't get it
46:46I
46:51Brunson drives goes right at the rookie gets inside and banks at home
46:55He wanted a foul as well as james borrego calls timeout valen brunson now with double figures well. He's got 13 overall
47:04Yeah, but it's back with it, too
47:08Well, you never want to get stuck on brunson island it's a lonely place to be
47:13Jeremiah fears just learned
47:16Within two just over four minutes remaining in the second time on the court presented by chevy offers.com
47:24If you're just tuning in mode, you are in and just his third
47:27NBA start at 13 points in that first quarter three for three from downtown a couple of steals
47:34The nick rookie once again showing that potential
47:40Murphy up top to bay do you are guarding him six nine
47:45Bay steps back can't hit zion williamson the rebound back up can't hit that one the tip misses williamson again
47:51Won't go fight for the rebound knocked out of bounds last touched by hook porty who wants a challenge
47:57Mike brown looking behind the bench
47:59Don't they're gonna play on the obvious sell you just losing zion a couple of times around the box out
48:12They reset the shot clock to 14
48:15Jeremiah fears using the screen set by looney now gets in the paint nice floater there from fears
48:21Here's looking to put pressure on brunson here comes the screen bunts and dribbles away
48:37Spins inside step back jump shot got it
48:41jacqueline brunson
48:43His field goal starting to percolate off to an early for shooting start, but now getting into a rhythm
48:49Williamson that explosive move and finish this first step is
48:54again, you can't imagine
48:57A guy his size to have that quickness on the first step really is amazing and also just watching him bounce around at his size
49:04That's good to see too because he's got great energy in his game right now
49:09Brunson likes going against the rookie fears
49:12Throws it up and how 40 is fouled
49:17LeVon looney's call for the foul
49:21Zion Williams has been through so many things with injuries and a lot of stuff off the court
49:25It just wants to get back to basketball
49:28And playing the game the way you know he could play with that explosive athleticism
49:33And as strong as he is so you put him against strong big players. They aren't quick enough
49:37You put him against quicker players. They're not strong enough
49:40That's what makes him one of the toughest guys to guard in this league
49:45So the Knicks gonna take it a side out
49:50Williamson 15 points five rebounds a couple of assists and a block
49:5612 of his 15 here in the second quarter
49:58Two and a half remaining first half bridges corner on an open
50:04And a whistle and a foul the two on Zion
50:10So with 2 30 remaining
50:12Both teams will be now in the penalty
50:17And it'll be right back to the line
50:19Of the night
50:25O.G. An Anobi since being acquired
50:26From Toronto
50:28The Knicks
50:30Level of success just continues to climb when he's in the lineup
50:33And you notice when he's not in the lineup
50:36Was made such a difference turned out to be one

54:27voting on the way up in 40 with
54:30blood on his jersey blood in his
54:32hands blood in his mouth and
54:33dianne will do you when he's
54:34driving right at you guy that was
54:40our Audi electrifying play with
54:432.5 remains going to go right
54:44back to the locker room at 41 of
54:49Зайон, his quickness, and then when he lowers the shoulder,
54:54you're almost instinctually putting your hand up to protect yourself
54:58because of the force that he's coming at you with.
55:01And it's always going to be a foul.
55:04And an OB, 16 points, 6 rebounds, a steal and a block.
55:14He kicks with 3 players in double figures.
55:17Jalen Brunson, 15.
55:19Ananobi, 16.
55:20And tonight's surprise, Odeo Oro with 16 points.
55:26And Ananobi's done all of that you just mentioned,
55:28all of it in the second quarter with 16 points.
55:32He won New Orleans putting up 74 points.
55:35New Orleans came into the game 26th rated offense in the NBA.
55:39Now, that can be deceiving
55:41because some of their key offensive players have been out.
55:44Obviously, Zion Williamson.
55:46They are an explosive offensive team tonight.
55:53Some of the blood that was dripping from Huckporty being cleaned up.
55:59Coming up at halftime.
56:00Halftime report sponsored by Verizon.
56:04Bill Pito, he was here in the pregame.
56:09Whether or not he's still here now, we don't really know.
56:13Mike Brown, who has been touting Mo Diawara all first half.
56:22Mike Brown's coming on.
56:24He's like a proud father right now.
56:26But he, every game, there's somebody that he is campaigning for one way or another.
56:32It was Jalen Brunson during the NBA Cup about MVP.
56:36OG Ananobi about All-Star.
56:38Remember, Diawara is, he's not going to be 21 until April.
56:43Young man from Paris.
56:45Really only started playing in his teenage years.
56:49Started at age 16.
56:51So he's only been playing basketball for less than five years.
56:55Imagine what he's going to be in 10 if he keeps up this pace.
56:58But he learns quickly, and that's important.
57:01And there was something that Mike Brown said he just saw in him.
57:05He just said, I got to get him out of it.
57:07I just got to see what he does.
57:10And it's one of those stories of it's hard to get him out now.
57:15And BC having an entertaining conversation.
57:19Maybe in French.
57:24So good work, by the way.
57:26The game crew here to clean up all the blood.
57:28Their work is not done.
57:37Brunson and Zion having to also have a conversation.
57:41I always wonder, like, what these conversations are in a game.
57:45Sometimes it's just simply catching up, right,
57:47and for players who know each other well.
57:50And who knows what some of these conversations are about.
57:53When you ask players to ask the game a lot, they don't remember.
57:55Well, because the game happens, and it's, you know, oh, I don't know, just about something.
58:00But, well, it is a brotherhood.
58:06Jamison has come in for a secure rebound case Williamson misses.
58:10So that's now 12 who have received minutes here in the first half.
58:16The only one who has a player.
