00:00The only one who hasn't played is Bacombe Gaudio.
00:03So I won't have seen 17 points.
00:05He's 5 of 6 from the line.
00:11The season high this year is 29.
00:18Look at that halftime score.
00:19Yeah, and you said 70 in Atlanta, right?
00:23That's 145 points in the last four quarters.
00:26Lips and misses.
00:32And Anobi's going to try and heave one.
00:33Does not get it off in time.
00:36And that will end a wild first half.
00:39OG Ananobi explodes here in the second quarter.
00:42Mo Diawara exploded in the first quarter.
00:46But unfortunately for the Knicks to Pelicans, a huge first half.
00:49Halftime here in New Orleans.
00:51Knicks trail 75-72 after two quarters.
00:56Basketball presented by Chase in New Orleans, Louisiana.
01:02Third quarter about to begin.
01:0475-72.

01:18Well, 75-72.
01:21I can remember at least three Knick Heat playoff games where that was the final score.
01:25All right.
01:27It's a different game today, Mike.
01:28No question.
01:29But the good news is the Knicks, without Carpenter, he doesn't really have a huge impact on this
01:33game because he has the three fouls.
01:35We're able to get to 72 points.
01:38The problem is that defense for them, early three-point shooting from the Pelicans.
01:43And then in the second quarter, it was the Zion Williamson show.
01:47He and Ananobi are having a great battle in that first half.
01:50Let's see if it continues here in the second half.
01:52And the Knicks without Mitchell Robinson, Josh Hart, and Landry Schammett.
01:55Although Schammett getting closer and closer.
01:57Here's Queen.
02:02The rookie drives.
02:02Kicks it back out.
02:03Sadiq Bey was red hot early.
02:05Can't get that one.
02:06Bridges the rebound.
02:07Quick out.
02:07Let Diwara.
02:08Diwara off the bounce.
02:09Drives down the lane.
02:10Lefty layup.
02:11Can't get it.
02:12Beautiful move.
02:13Just wouldn't finish.
02:14And look at him run.
02:15I mean, run down the floor.
02:17Sprinting.
02:18Bey the fake.
02:19Stripped by Bridges.
02:20Great hands from Mikael Bridges.
02:22Bridges posting up against Fears.
02:28Kicks it out.
02:28Brunson wide open.
02:30Can't get the three.
02:37Queen, who has the ball right now.
02:38The touted rookie.
02:39Zero points in the first half.
02:410 for 6.
02:42Yep.
02:42Did have six rebounds.
02:44Couple of assists.
02:45Fears gets inside.
02:49And there's the rookie's first bucket.
02:52A little.
02:53A very mild fist pump as he goes up the floor.
02:56Right.
02:56Will not go 0 for it.
02:58By the way, is that a reverse broadcaster Jameson?
03:01He had a good game the other night.
03:03He's had some 30-point games.
03:06Foul's going to go against the rookie.
03:09If you could see Derek Queen's face.
03:12He got called for the foul.
03:13He was not happy about it.
03:15He looks down at Brunson.
03:17It makes a face of Brunson kind of said,
03:18you fouled him.
03:19Like, watch after him.
03:21He looks like, come on, man.
03:26They were quick.
03:27He seems to have a smile on his face a lot of the time.
03:30He just plays the game with such joy.
03:33They have found a good player.
03:35Williamson with the steal on the inbounds.
03:38Williamson down the other hand and throws it down.
03:40We'll see him as Ian Williamson experienced 20 points, five boards, couple of assists.
03:46And Anobi with the left hand.
03:48OG Anobi now with 18.
03:50Part of the problem with the experience is the jog back instead of the hustle back.
03:55And a whistle and foul.
04:00Lowering the shoulder into a defender.
04:03Carol Bridges.
04:05Watch this finish.
04:07That's not even one of his better ones.
04:08But then he jogs back, Mike.
04:10And that's, you know, that's not the leadership they're looking for.
04:14They're looking for a guy who's going to hustle both ends of the floor.
04:19Williamson.
04:20A spin.
04:21And a shot is good.
04:23He has stretches when he's been healthy.
04:25He's unguardable.
04:26Yes, he did.
04:28The power and the quickness.
04:30That combination lethal.
04:34Bridges kicks it out.
04:36And Anobi the fake.
04:37Almost ran into his teammate.
04:39Can't hit the shot.
04:42Next trail by nine in the first half.
04:44Came back, took the lead.
04:45Fierce launches.
04:47And Anobi the rebound.
04:48Quick outlet.
04:49It's looking to push here.
04:51Brunson.
04:52Diawara fake.
04:54Up top out Anobi.
04:55Wide open.
04:56Three-pointer.
04:58Knicks have had great looks here to start the third.
05:01They're just not going down.
05:02Not getting offensive boards still.
05:06One and done.
05:11He's had four offensive rebounds in the first.
05:14Williamson didn't look like anybody touched it.
05:16Now, whether or not the Knicks touched Williamson with a foul,
05:20that's what he's trying to say.
05:21Making the case he got hit on the wrist.
05:24Right there.
05:24He touched it last, but he also got hammered.
05:28Passing side.
05:29Brunson almost had it.
05:30And there's the reach in on Williamson.
05:32So now he's going to shoot some free throws.
05:35He's really impacting this game, Mike.
05:37Since the second quarter on.
05:39That whole court.
05:40He had 15 points in the quarter.
05:41And he was just making it a point.
05:44To put his shoulder down and drive to the basket.
05:46He was looking for matchups early on.
05:48Hunting for property towns.
05:51Great energy right.
05:55You look at his scoring over the years.
05:58Started 22 points per game.
05:59Then 27, 26.
06:0223 points per game.
06:03Almost 25 points per game last year.
06:06But it's the games played that is the number one stop for you.
06:0945% of the games in his seven years.
06:13This is his seventh season.
06:14Only 45% of the games.
06:16Number one overall pick back in 2019.
06:19After just one year at Duke.
06:22He gives them now a nine-point advantage.
06:25And that equals the largest lead of the game.
06:29Carl Anthony Towns foul trouble.
06:31First half.
06:32Brunson steps back.
06:33Diora five on the 24.
06:38Diora makes his move.
06:40Kicks it out the corner.
06:41Bridges back to Brunson.
06:42Nice fake.
06:43Sidestep three.
06:44It's good as the shot clock expires.
06:47What ball movement there.
06:49That's Jalen Brunson just knowing how to get to his spot.
06:52One ball finish.
06:55Stolen by Bridges.
06:56His second steal in the third.
06:57Diora the catch.
06:58Diora the finish.
07:00The rookies got 18 points in the Knicks.
07:02Now back within four.
07:04Mikey flew down the court ahead of everyone to get that layup.
07:08He sprints everywhere on the court.
07:11Long strides.
07:13He's got a great motor.
07:18Sadiq Bey.
07:19Here's the double team.
07:21Looking.
07:22Looking.
07:24Gets it inside.
07:25Williamson.
07:25How did they find that pass?
07:27Mike Brown was upset.
07:28He thought they should have been a three-second violation.
07:30Instead, Williamson throws it down.
07:3224 for Williamson.
07:34I'm wondering how Zion was left open.
07:37All the people to leave open.
07:41Brunson against the rookie.
07:42The other rookie fears.
07:44Turns.
07:44Fires.
07:46Tough shot there.
07:47Again, one and done, Mike.
07:48They are not allowing the Knicks to get offensive boards.
07:51They really miss Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart.
07:54Murphy finds his spot.
07:56Murphy, an excellent three-point shooter, nails that one.
07:58And it's right back up to nine.
08:01They're nine of 22 from three.
08:04Murphy's in double figures.
08:06Queen takes it away.
08:08Nice feet inside.
08:09And Towns banks it in.
08:11Brunson was stripped but stayed with the play.
08:13Yeah, strong hands to make sure he didn't lose that ball.
08:16And it's inside and Queen, poor defense.
08:24Once again, Knicks have been looked sensational on the offensive end.
08:27But Mike Brown, you can tell, is not happy with the defense.
08:30That was a couple of times, too, where the Knicks had a trap, had a defense right here.
08:35Look, there's your stop.
08:37One, two, three.
08:40Zion never left the paint.
08:43Mike Brown wanted a three-point violation.
08:45And then Sadiq Bey, eyes up.
08:48Knicks ball watching.
08:49Easy layup.
08:50Timeout Knicks.
08:54Hockey fans, your love for speed is in your DNA.
08:57Luckily, Cesar's Sportsbook keeps up.
09:01It's quick and easy to use.
09:03Just place your bets in a few taps without missing a single play.
09:11Knicks down by nine.
09:127-14 remaining.
09:14Mike Brown has not been happy with the defense.
09:16And when you see 90 points up on the board with seven minutes to go in the third quarter,
09:20you can understand why.
09:24Offensively, it's been fine.
09:25They have 81.
09:27Kevin McCullough back in.
09:30Brunson looking, finds McCullough.
09:32McCullough off the bounce, drives inside right away, gets to the rim.
09:37Good recognition from McCullough.
09:39Coming off his fantastic game in Atlanta the other night.
09:46Sadiq Bey, McCullough guarding him.
09:48Up top, Murphy.
09:49Murphy gets another three, and it's the largest lead of the night.
09:54First double-digit lead by either team.
09:59Murphy coming live now.
10:02He's got 13.
10:03Bridges.
10:04Big height advantage on the rookie here.
10:07Likes that spot that comes up way short.
10:10And Queen the rebound.
10:12Once again, no second chances for the Knicks.
10:15Queen lost the handle.
10:16Nice push pass from Brunson.
10:18Bridges goes inside.
10:20Sidestep lays it in.
10:21Again, a great look from Brunson.
10:24Didn't even really touch the ball.
10:25Just batted it out to his teammate.
10:29Six assists for Brunson.
10:30Make that seven assists to go along with the 18 points.
10:34Sadiq Bey inside.
10:35He wanted a foul.
10:38Here comes Brunson.
10:39Finds McCullough.
10:40Kicks it out on Anobi.
10:42Corner three.
10:43It's good.
10:44Once again, great ball, Boven.
10:46And now it's the Pelicans turning to call timeout.
10:48Knicks back within five.
10:50Little zone defense working.
10:52Taking away the paint.
10:54Getting turnovers.
10:55When you get turnovers, you've got to turn them into points and make them pay.
10:58Look at Brunson, like you said.
11:00Barely touch it.
11:01Flick it out.
11:01Of course, Bridges is the one that's running the floor hard.
11:06And then good ball movement.
11:07Three ball.
11:08Corner pocket.
11:09Triple OG.
11:12Knicks with a little flurry.
11:14Back within five.
11:16As these teams continue to look to try and outscore each other.
11:20You know, the first meeting of the season between the Knicks and the Pelicans.
11:23And this has really been sort of a challenge for the Knicks in the paint defensively.
11:27Our Cadillac tribute question.
11:29Carl Anthony Towne, 17 free throws made on Saturday.
11:33Which two players hold the Knicks record for most free throws made in a game?
11:37Bernard King and, I was going to say, Bill Cartwright.
11:41Richie Guerin back in 1961.
11:45Even I wasn't born there.
11:47You sure?
11:48It was four months before I was born.
11:51Murphy misses, and I don't know if he gets the rebound.
11:54Here comes Brunson the other way.
11:56That's how you get to 50 like Richie did without a three-point line.
12:00Bridges turns, fires well short.
12:04Knicks trying to take the paint.
12:06It's the number one paint scoring team in the NBA.
12:09And the Knicks top four in the league in paint defense.
12:11But something has to give.
12:13Even right now, the Pelicans having their way inside.
12:16Wayne, stop blocked from behind by Townes.
12:18Ball still loose.
12:19Looney comes up with it.
12:21They reset the shot clock.
12:23I don't think a ball ever hit the rim.
12:24Pull misses.
12:25Townes the rebound.
12:27Here comes Brunson Bridges running down the floor.
12:30McCuller, corner three.
12:32In and out.
12:33And then Looney the rebound.
12:34That was halfway down.
12:35He's rattled out.
12:45Pull up top, Looney.
12:47Looney getting time because of the size of the Knicks team.
12:52The Pelicans did a great job on the boards in this game.
12:55Ball nearly stripped.
12:56Murphy gets it back, throws it in.
12:58Brunson knocks it away.
13:00And Looney stepped out of bounds.
13:02That's excellent defense from the Knicks there.
13:04They're fighting through screens, switching.
13:07Now the Pelicans say that ball hit the rim.
13:11The Knicks here digging in now defensively.
13:13You're seeing a lot of help.
13:14Close outs.
13:19Good job there by Carl Anthony Towns just to close it out.
13:22That did hit the rim on a tip.
13:25They're going to change it.
13:27They're changing the call.
13:28And putting 13 on the shot clock.
13:32And giving the Pelicans the ball.
13:35Mike Brown clearly.
13:36Now is that.
13:37Could you reset it even on a deflection?
13:40Yeah.
13:40No, it shouldn't be.
13:42Unless they said that the Knicks had possession.
13:45Right.
13:45Because this is.
13:47The Knicks are contesting that.
13:49Oh, no, no, no, that's, that's Looney off his hand.
13:54On a tip, so no.
13:57He was tipping it up.
13:58That's like a volleyball set.
14:00Yeah, that's what they're saying was a shot attempt.
14:02I think he just was just trying to bat it to himself.
14:05It didn't appear to be a shot attempt as Jemisin has committed.
14:09Long discussion here for the team.
14:11Now they're going to switch it.
14:12And that's the, that's the right call.
14:13James Borrego now, the latest up coach, to be upset.
14:20So just to explain, Mike, to the call, it's, we know it hit Looney's hands, but it wasn't a shot attempt.
14:26Correct.
14:27That's why it goes the other way.
14:29That's what the Pelicans were arguing.
14:31They felt there should have been a shot attempt when the shot clock was set.
14:35And then Looney backtracked him.
14:37Right.
14:38When he touched it.
14:39He appeared to be out of bounds.
14:40He's claiming he tried to tip it at the rim, but.
14:42He's backwards to the rim, so you can't really call that a shot.
14:47Although you, you can't doubt Looney in terms of high character.
14:50They don't come much higher than Kevon Looney.
14:53Brunson, Ananobi.
14:54Left wide open.
14:56Can't hit the three.
14:57The color trying to track it down.
14:59Knocks it off of Sadiq Bey.
15:01No, but no.
15:01It looked like it here.
15:02The baseline first.
15:04Yavisili's going to check here.
15:08OG Ananobi's had a great game.
15:1021 points, nine rebounds, a block and a steal, but just one of seven from three.
15:18Deuce McBride, as you see, first game back after missing eight games.
15:22McBride's played six minutes so far.
15:26Here's Sadiq Bey.
15:27They travel.
15:31Boy, tough defense.
15:32First McCuller, then the help from Jemisin.
15:34They dread the foot.
15:36Shot clock at five.
15:37Bay can't get that one to go.
15:39Rebound Brunson.
15:42Nick's really trying to dig in now defensively.
15:44They understand they got to get that into the floor right.
15:46They can win this game.
15:48Brunson fires away.
15:49Can't hit the three that time.
15:51Fight for the rebound.
15:52Bat it out.
15:52Yavisili.
15:53Good job from Jemisin.
15:54Deuce McBride, the crossover, pulls up.
16:01Good defense from Poole.
16:03Shot clock winding down.
16:04Shot clock at two.
16:05Yavisili's got to shoot it.
16:06Just gets it off, but it's blocked by Looney.
16:09That was a good defensive sequence from the Pelicans.
16:14McBride, the foul.
16:17And Poole will shoot.
16:18We haven't said good defense a lot tonight, but there's been a few.
16:22But it's getting better for the Knicks, and I'm sure they made halftime adjustments.
16:26Here's a one-on-one McCuller just taking the pounding, but they're sending the double over.
16:30Jemisin, great job.
16:31He really does show well on a double team.
16:34And then Brunson on the closeout there.
16:36But the Knicks are trying to send Biggs now across the pane and take those drives away and those one-on-one situations away.
16:43That forced the ball movement.
16:45Micah Peavey back in.
16:47Peavey, Looney, Murphy, Meesey, and Poole out there.
16:51Micah, if you look at the Knick lineup right now, it is three second-round picks, an undrafted player, and one first-round pick, and that's Yavisili.
17:03Meesey putting on the floor.
17:07Murphy leans in, finds Meesey.
17:09Meesey turns, layup, can't get it.
17:11Fight for the rebound.
17:12But Meesey gets it back.
17:14Two Knicks, it converged.
17:16Meesey, the beneficiary.
17:18And McBride, good hands, deflects it off the fingertips of Jordan Poole before it's a turnover.
17:23But Mike Brown was searching through lineups to find who's going to play hard defensively.
17:28Where am I going to get active defensive players?
17:30He's got a lineup out here right now.
17:35Brunson, the crossover, goes inside on Peavey with the right hand.
17:38Here comes Poole.
17:43Poole spins, Poole drives, scoop layup is good, and the foul.
17:48Chance for a three-point play for Poole, who's going to spark off the bench.
17:55Now it's 16.
17:56Make that 18.
17:57He really has been, has not done much here at all this season.
18:05But tonight, he's feeling it.
18:08He's feeling it.
18:09He's certainly feeling it laying down.
18:11But it doesn't hurt nearly as much when the ball goes in and you hear a whistle.
18:15But, you know, this crowd's lively.
18:16This paces up.
18:17This is his type of game.
18:19Up and down and no defense.
18:22Jordan Clarkson checks back in.
18:25The color will see.
18:282.35 left.
18:30Third quarter.
18:32The scoring has slowed just a bit in the last few minutes.
18:36The defense has picked up.
18:37Pace hasn't slowed down.
18:38This has been an exhausting pace.
18:4319 points in 15 minutes off the bench for Jordan Poole.
18:47He is capable of that.
18:48Now it's back up by eight.
18:53Peavy putting on some pressure on Brunson.
18:57Yaviscelli goes to the corner.
18:59Connects on a three.
19:00Yaviscelli with his third three-pointer of the game.
19:04He's three for three from downtown.
19:07It's back within five.
19:09It's just, it's great to see him make shots.
19:11He was such a good, solid three-point shooter last year for Philly.
19:16Clarkson chasing after Murphy.
19:17Murphy skips out the pool.
19:21Peavy with four on the shot clock.
19:22Jump shot short.
19:24Misey had it, lost it, picked up by Clarkson.
19:30Under two to play in the third.
19:31Clarkson.
19:32Find Yaviscelli tries again from the corner.
19:38Not that time, and Looney grabs a rebound.
19:41So he feels like he had a high five foul there.
19:44Mike Brown said, just get back on defense.
19:46Pulled way outside.
19:50That's a terrible shot as Peavy now will step back, and Peavy hits it with a three-pointer.
19:56It's a bad shot, but what was worse was that an offensive rebound off of it, because it was a long rebound.
20:03He did not get to that ball.
20:07Brunson drives on Peavy, falls down, and a whistle on a foul.
20:14This is the portion of the game where the opposing team puts big defenders, physical defenders on,
20:19and they use their hip right there.
20:22Hands are up, but it doesn't mean that you can use your hip and hip check them.
20:29First foul in the last two minutes.
20:34Peavy with the personal foul.
20:36That's his second.
20:38Shot clock at 14.
20:42Rookie Peavy putting pressure on Brunson, kicks it out, Clarkson, Clarkson from the corner,
20:46hits the three, Jordan Clarkson rattles that one in.
20:49His first field goal.
20:53Back to five.
20:57Poole flips it up.
20:59Shot is good.
21:01It's too easy for Jordan Poole right now as he gets into the paint.
21:05Finger roll layups.
21:06Finger roll finishes down the lane.
21:08He's not feeling physicality at all.
21:1121 points off the bench for Poole.
21:13He has hurt the Knicks tonight.
21:14Javasili down the lane.
21:20Inside.
21:21Jemisin flips it up and in.
21:24A nice soft touch from Jemisin off a pretty feed from Javasili,
21:28who's playing some of the best basketball we've seen from him in a while.
21:31A floater.
21:32He sets good screens with his good active body, he's a useful player off the bench.
21:39He was selling nine points three boards.
21:43Eleven players have scored for this.
21:48Jordan poole, Jemisin try to stay with him and just got over aggressive not a smart play right there.
21:54Poole is a special three-point free throw shooter.
21:58Once led the league in free throw shooting.
22:01И Плается!
22:02И Пул better!
22:03Пул has been the difference
22:04maker in the non Zion Minutes.
22:06Ура, вея, работать в виде
22:07馴 raим, уридов.
22:08Пул's боро зато.
22:0921 off the bench looking for
22:10more.
22:1190% from the line this season.
22:15This the first is when Kawhi
22:18Leonard is doing from the
22:20free throw line.
22:21He's taken one hundred and
22:22twenty six free throws and has
22:24missed three.
22:25That's under 90 just under
22:2798% clearly number one in the
22:29league.

27:17And the Pelicans bench erupts
27:18Williamson better be careful
27:20Williamson thought he was fouled
27:24on the other end.
27:25What a wild sequence this was.
27:27And an OB knocks it away.
27:30Williamson then has it poked away.
27:33He just tries to tear it out of
27:35his hands.
27:36The Pelicans are going to
27:36challenge that because on that
27:39right there now again this is just
27:41two physical players going at it.
27:43But watch here it looks like he does
27:45get the ball.
27:48Yeah I think they're going to
27:49overturn that.
27:49Now there was contact.
27:51Look at him.
27:51The ball.
27:52If a defensive player hits it
27:57and then hits the hand but knocks it
27:59out of it it's not a foul but he
28:01didn't completely knock it out of
28:03his hand.
28:03We'll find out the result on the
28:04challenge.
28:05You can look see by Mike Brown's
28:08expression a successful challenge.
28:11It was very close.
28:12Zion Williamson appeared to
28:14initially hit the ball first.
28:16He's also got part of the wrist
28:18there.
28:19But instead of a foul on
28:20Williamson it's Pelicans ball.
28:23Talk about determined.
28:24Remember we were getting on him for
28:25jogging back.
28:27He turns it over.
28:28He did not jog back.
28:30He came back and tore the ball
28:31out of Jordan Clarkson's hands.
28:33Pulled the crossover.
28:34Kicks it out to Looney.
28:35Looney up top.
28:36Hawkins.
28:37Hawkins searching for some room.
28:38Finds a spot.
28:39Can't hit.
28:40Towns with the rebound.
28:42Nine rebounds to Kyle Anthony.
28:44Towns to go with nine points.
28:47Towns way outside.
28:49Not a great shot there as
28:51Hawkins the rebound.
28:52Although he certainly has the
28:53range.
28:57And Williamson was out of bounds.
28:59Not a good pass there for Murphy.
29:03Zion was just coming down the
29:04floor trying to make a play.
29:06I'll tell you what though Michael
29:07we're seeing between Ananobi and
29:08Zion Williamson in this game.
29:11Two heavyweights.
29:13As Clyde would say two strong
29:15dudes.
29:19So Williamson's going to get a
29:20breather.
29:22Queen, Looney, Murphy, Poole and
29:25Hawkins out there for the
29:26Pelicans.
29:26Colen.
29:27I don't think it would Clarkson
29:28in the backcourt.
29:29Colen looking.
29:30Tied up.
29:31Finds Ananobi up top.
29:32Clarkson.
29:33Shot clock at six.
29:36Three on the 24.
29:37Clarkson waiting too long.
29:39Now fires away from the
29:40corner.
29:40Can't get her to go.
29:42Towns almost pokes it away from
29:44Poole.
29:45Here comes Murphy the other
29:46way.
29:48Murphy pass deflected.
29:49Queen gets it.
29:50Missed it.
29:51Boy.
29:51Clips a lot of contact there too.
29:53And Ananobi drives inside.
29:57Block but foul.
29:58Nothing.
29:59Caught a foul.
30:00There should have been a foul on
30:01the Knicks the other end.
30:05McHale Bridges was worse for the
30:07wear after it as well.
30:08But this contact everywhere.
30:11Nothing.
30:11And here.
30:15He got ball.
30:17You could say that.
30:20Right now McHale Bridges being
30:22attended to.
30:23Looks like he got an elbow or
30:24something in the face.
30:26Blood in the mouth.
30:28Anthony Goenaga.
30:29Turning to him.
30:31Could have been friendly fire too
30:33if there were a couple of big
30:33players around.
30:34There's a very lively crowd.
30:40Watch.
30:41That's a foul.
30:44You love it.
30:46You got Knick fans and Pelican
30:47fans sitting together.
30:49It's the one way you can bring
30:51all fans together in one thing.
30:52Everybody hates those.
30:56It just goes to show the care
30:58factor of being a loyal,
31:01passionate fan.
31:01And I think pride's going to come
31:04in.
31:04You know what else?
31:05This has been an intensely
31:06played, really entertaining
31:07basketball game.
31:08And everybody's into it.
31:11Just want to continue their
31:13terrific play of late.
31:14Pelicans wanting to end this
31:16three-game losing streak.
31:20That's where he got hit.
31:21Oh, yes.
31:22It was Murphy with the left hand.
31:23It wasn't friendly fire.
31:24He got smacked right in the grill.
31:29Mixed it in down.
31:3016 on the shot clock.
31:31Ananobi thought about a three.
31:33Queen closed out, though.
31:37Colick.
31:38McBride tries a three.
31:40Deuce McBride rattles that one in.
31:43He's now two of five from the field.
31:45Five points from McBride.
31:46We're tied at 106.
31:48Chance of Deuce here in New Orleans.
31:51Ananobi with a steal.
31:53His third of the game.
31:54Here's Clarkson.
31:55Steps up.
31:56Three-pointer.
31:57Long rebound.
31:58Colick tracks it down.
31:59Towns will try it.
32:00Gets him to go.
32:02Knicks with a three-point lead.
32:04Timeout, New Orleans.
32:06And the Knick fans here at the smoothie.
32:10King's set are all fired up.
32:11This is just nothing but hustle, determination.
32:17Ananobi with the steal.
32:18Get down on the floor.
32:19Jordan Clarkson.
32:22The weight.
32:22We get an offensive rebound.
32:25You see the reaction from the Knick Bents.
32:28As Carleton Towns knocks down the three.
32:29And the Knicks have the lead here in the fourth quarter in New Orleans.
32:34Dicks with their first lead since the first quarter.
32:40And all started with defense.
32:42Now, OG Ananobi had chased down that steal.
32:46And it turned into an offensive rebound, which also has been scarce in this game.
32:49And, according to the Towns three, as he's starting now, put an impact on this game.
32:54He's at double-double with 12 points now with 10 rebounds.
32:57Meanwhile, how about Cole, again, tracks down the rebound and right away shuffles it to Towns for the big three-pointer.
33:04Knows where his players are to get them the ball.
33:08Sadiq Bey, nice spin move.
33:09Gets inside.
33:10Missed it.
33:11Gets it back.
33:12Blocked by Towns.
33:13Picked up by Ananobi.
33:15Boy, there is so much contact in this game on every drive and every shot.
33:20Cole, alley-oop to Ananobi.
33:22Can't get it.
33:23More contact there.
33:24Down the other end.
33:25And Murphy steps up, three-pointer, too strong.
33:29Queen with a rebound.
33:30Back up.
33:31And there's a whistle.
33:32And free throws for Derrick Queen.
33:35Do you remember, Mike, when I say Anthony Towns hasn't had an impact on this game yet?
33:40Well, he certainly is starting to.
33:42He had a big three there to take the lead.
33:44And watch this off an offensive rebound.
33:46A block from behind.
33:47To stop that.
33:50But the tone has been set by the officiating crew in this game about what's a foul and what's not a foul.
33:54And so everybody understand, when you're going to the basket, expect contact.
34:00Cole had picked up the foul.
34:02First free throw was good.
34:03That was a Volvo protect the paint brought to you by Volvo cars.
34:06Well, this impressive rookie has not had a good shooting game.
34:15Just two of ten.
34:16He's got nine rebounds, three assists, a couple of blocks.
34:21One of two from the line.
34:22So much time remaining.
34:29And what has been a pretty darn exciting game.
34:32Colen setting it up.
34:34Pines Ananobi.
34:37Ananobi one-on-one drives on the rookie.
34:40Had it knocked away.
34:41Here comes Bay.
34:44Sadiq Bay at 23 points in the first quarter.
34:48He's only had three since then.
34:52Queen gets in the paint.
34:54Short shot is good.
34:56In the game.
34:56Tied again.
34:57Timeout.
34:58Knicks.
35:00Mike Brown right away going to Tyler Colen.
35:02He does this a lot when he called a timeout.
35:04He seeks out the player he needs.
35:07To have a discussion with about something happened on the floor.
35:10Tyler Colen says, I got it.
35:11I got it.
35:12Derek Queen, the rookie, plays at his own speed.
35:14Didn't score in the first half.
35:16Didn't get rattled by it.
35:17Made a shot early.
35:18Pumped his fist.
35:18Happy about that.
35:20Now into a one-on-one situation against one of the best defenders in the league.
35:25Calmly.
35:25A little step back jump.
35:28What we've seen is we now for the game, seven points, nine boards.
35:32We've seen Mike Brown all season frequently stop.
35:36We've seen players when they come off the floor.
35:37He was talking about it before the game.
35:39Sometimes it's encouragement.
35:41Sometimes it's, hey, job well done.
35:43And sometimes he goes after guys.
35:46And a lot of the players have talked, he doesn't hold back.
35:48Kolek is one who's talked about, I'm a better player because he challenges me and gets on me all the time.
35:54And there's clarity in the message too, right?
35:56It's an understanding.
35:57This is what I expect of you.
35:59And that's usually with a coach.
36:01You don't listen to how he says it.
36:03You listen to what he's saying.
36:05And sometimes that's all you want.
36:07I just want to know where I stand and where you stand with me.
36:10He's very clear with that.
36:11And then there'll be off days where he'll, like recently with Mikael Bridges, they'll have a meeting.
36:15Just check in.
36:16How are we doing?
36:16How are we feeling?
36:18And that's important.
36:19The communication with the clients are always open.
36:21There's he's a big bang who, as we said, at the top of the telecast, he does have a 51-point game in his career.
36:28Looked like he was headed that way.
36:30After that great start, they're coming back from a torn ACL.
36:35Playing good basketball for the Pelicans.
36:37Six and a half remaining.
36:38At this end, they need better spacing.
36:39The last couple possessions, they did not have great spacing.
36:42Brunson picked up by the rookie queen.
36:47Eight on the 24.
36:48Brunson to McBride.
36:50Bridges falls down and throws it away.
36:54Here's Queen.
36:55He can handle.
36:56Down the lane.
36:57Layup is no good.
36:58But the follow by Meezy.
37:02And this crowd, the Pelicans side, has exploded now.
37:05Pelicans back up by two.
37:11Just past the mid-way point here on the fourth.
37:13Brunson finds out an open two-pointer.
37:17Won't go.
37:19And fears the rebound.
37:21Well, the Knicks fans were very loud early.
37:23The Pelican fans now with reason to cheer.
37:25That's a great atmosphere here.
37:29It's all just a big easy.
37:30Nothing easy with this game.
37:31Brunson guarding Queen.
37:37Murphy.
37:38Murphy gets into the paint.
37:40Kicks it back out.
37:41Queen pulls up.
37:43Too strong.
37:43Good boxing out from Ananobi.
37:45It enables Bridges to easily get the rebound.
37:50Brunson three-pointer.
37:51Pucks it in.
37:53Jalen Brunson from downtown.
37:55He's been struggling shooting just six of 18.
37:57But that one gives the Knicks the lead.
38:01Two rookies out there right now for the Warrens.
38:07I don't know.
38:08We're trying to poke it away from one of them.
38:11Here's Murphy.
38:13Murphy looking for his spot.
38:16Bounces around and drops in.
38:17Hit every part of the rim.
38:19And a grin on his face as he watched that rattled in.
38:23Inside.
38:24Deuce McBride quickly down the other end.
38:33McBride first game in three weeks.
38:36He had Murphy wide open under the rim.
38:39Fears didn't see him.
38:40And Ananobi good ball denial.
38:44Queen has to come out.
38:45They're already down to five on the 24.
38:47Sadiq Bey going up by Bridges.
38:49Pulls it up.
38:50Shot.
38:51No good.
38:51Fight for the rebound.
38:53Last touch by Meesey.
38:54They're going to challenge it though.
38:55Meesey trying to say he knocked it off of Carl Anthony Towns' foot.
38:59He hasn't said they need to inbound the ball.
39:17Did that go off Towns' leg or Meesey's leg?
39:20It looked like Towns on that.
39:23There's something the matter with the clock right now.
39:27Now they're going to call a job.
39:28Mike Brown says there's no way.
39:30Yeah.
39:31Mike Brown is furious.
39:40The officials are they going to give him a challenge?
39:42Yes.
39:42He gave him a timeout.
39:44That's a long time.
39:45Now in the last two minutes it's different.
39:47The officials usually give a little more time.
39:50But that was a long time going on.
39:55Well there was a was there a clock.
39:56There was something wrong with the clock.
39:57They had to fix.
39:58It's clearly off Towns.
40:02So they are going to challenge.
40:07That was a long time.
40:09Now the officials were over here at the scorers table checking on something.
40:13But that seemed like a long time.
40:17That's well past the amount of time that's usually given for that.
40:25It's going to turn into the Pelicans ball.
40:28It's furious about this right now.
40:31We saw in the previous couple of years officials would sometimes take their time and give the
40:37the courtesy so to speak of letting coaches take their time and a little longer than it should.
40:44But this year coming into the season the officiating staff was told right away inbound the ball right away.
40:50Keep the pace of play unless it's the last two minutes.
40:53And then they give them a little more a little more rope on it.
41:01So it was a 40 second delay which is obviously much longer than it should go.
41:05But there was something going on at the scorers table that they were checking on.
41:09That bought time for the Pelicans to watch a review of it and then decide to call the timeout.
41:15So was it the malfunction that was happening at the scorers table that did that and allowed that to happen?
41:20Did the officials say well that's not that's not their fault.
41:23The game was stopped.
41:24The scorers table saying that the horn wasn't working.
41:31The challenge is clearly going to go off.
41:36Off Carl Anthony Townsend.
41:37It should be the Pelicans ball with a 4-0-8 remaining in a tie game.
41:48You watch New Orleans when they're healthy.
41:51And they're still not completely healthy.
41:53They're missing Herb Jones, Jose Alvarado, DeJounte Murray.
41:56But this is a team that over the past six or seven years has never been healthy.
42:01Right.
42:01It's been a major issue here of course.
42:03But I'll also say this Mike.
42:05Yeah, I've watched a lot of Pelicans game.
42:07Their crowds here have not been good.
42:09They have not gotten great support locally because the fans are kind of getting tired of what you were saying.
42:15And this building has a.
42:18After a review of Carl Anthony Townsend makes illegal contact with the offensive player prior to the ball going out of bounds.
42:23Therefore, it's a successful challenge.
42:25New Orleans ball side out.
42:26Free throw line extended.
42:26All right, that's Kevin Cutler, the crew chiefs tonight, making the call.
42:31So it's going to be Pelicans ball.
42:38Time for tonight's key of card.
42:40Ryan Williamson.
42:43He's playing in his 18th game.
42:45He's missed 16 this year.
42:47But he has been superb.
42:48He's such a difficult, explosive player to guard.
42:56He's got 25 minutes.
42:57They are trying to be careful with those minutes.
43:00So, by the way, Mike, the horn isn't working.
43:04And they have an air horn.
43:05And it's two seats from me.
43:07So, this could get interesting.
43:11Make sure you project.
43:12So, here, the horn will be used.
43:18Listen, if Peto and I could have gone through that marching band in the pregame show, we could get the one.
43:24They, Queen, Murphy, pulls back in with Williamson.
43:28Pulls out a terrific game.
43:3026 points in 22 minutes.
43:32Murphy the catch.
43:33Jab step.
43:34Shoots over Towns.
43:35And hits.
43:36You can't let Murphy have that shot.
43:38Murphy is such a good three-point shooter.
43:40And the Knicks trail by three.
43:43Hand down, man down.
43:48Galen Brunson frustrated right now.
43:51As Williamson on him.
43:53One-on-one with Zion Williamson.
43:55Fires up a three.
43:56It's good!
43:57Galen Brunson, another big three-pointer.
44:00And we're tied again.
44:03And he is, Galen Brunson, furious about that possession, too.
44:08Pull looking for his shot.
44:10Murphy goes back door.
44:12Now, Derrick Queen throws it inside.
44:14Murphy catches it.
44:16Lays it up and lays it in.
44:20Murphy using his height advantage on Brunson.
44:23We've got Brunson one-on-one.
44:25Now what?
44:28Mike Brown calling a timeout.
44:30With three-twelve remaining.
44:36And the Knicks down by two.
44:42What a hard-fought competitive game.
44:45You see here, Trey Murphy knows he's got Brunson on him.
44:48So he wants to use the size advantage on the cut.
44:51Good pass and a good catch.
44:52The previous possession, Brunson three.
44:55Again, an unbelievable shot by him against Zion Williamson.
44:59But there was a mix-up in the play.
45:01Yabuselli is in the game.
45:03And the bench was yelling to him as if he didn't realize that he was supposed to come up and set a screen.
45:08Brunson turned around after making that shot.
45:09Like, hey, what are we doing?
45:10He's got very frustrated because the focus this late in the game has to be precise.
45:18You see it in a lot of emotion on the Knick bench from coaches and from players.
45:27They want this.
45:28They want this one desperately.
45:29Knicks now.
45:29They still have two timeouts remaining.
45:32Pelicans are out of timeouts.
45:35Pelicans have a foul to give.
45:38As do the Knicks.
45:39We've got the Audi Knicks postgame show coming up.
45:42Bill Pito here in the warmings.
45:44We hope he's still in the arena.
45:46Oh, he's tempted to go to Bourbon Street early.
45:48But hopefully he'll stay.
45:50He'll stay for the end for the game.
45:54So Knicks will now have it.
45:58If you heard that, that was the error.
46:01That is one weak error.
46:05So Brunson, McBride, Towns, Ananobi, and Bridges.
46:09He's got it.
46:14Williamson again picks up Jalen Brunson.
46:16Here's the double team.
46:17Brunson looking.
46:18Finds McBride.
46:20McBride puts up the three.
46:23Won't go.
46:24Rebound foot four, and Bay comes away with it.
46:26Great box out from Bay.
46:28Making sure OG Ananobi can't get to that offensive rebound.
46:32Jordan Poole drives.
46:33Goes inside.
46:34The runner's up.
46:35No good.
46:35Towns with the rebound.
46:37His 12th.
46:40Here comes Brunson.
46:43Looking for that opening.
46:44He's got Poole on him.
46:45Now the double team with Murphy.
46:46They want it out of his hands.
46:48Up top to Bridges.
46:49Bridges back to McBride.
46:50Corner three.
46:51Bang!
46:51Deuce McBride from downtown.
46:55He got knocked down.
46:56The official saying that he's the one that caused it by kicking the leg out.
47:02And the next back up by one.
47:08Zion Williamson floats it up and in.
47:11Elite shot making right now.
47:13It's a one-point Pelican lead.
47:18They're going to keep trapping Brunson.
47:20They're going to make someone else beat them.
47:22Towns back to McBride.
47:24And a foul.
47:25That's their first foul of the quarter.
47:29First in the last two minutes.
47:32Let's see.
47:32McBride here in the corner.
47:34And they're not calling that because they're saying he kicked his leg forward.
47:39And there's Zion Williamson on a floater drive right to the basket.
47:43He and Ananobi have had such a battle in this game.
47:48Now the Pelicans.
47:50Any foul will put the Knicks to the free throw line.
47:53McBride and Brunson play catch.
47:54Under two minutes to play.
47:56Knicks down by one.
47:58They are trying to take it out of Brunson's hands.
48:00Ananobi six to shoot.
48:01Ananobi drives.
48:02Gets inside for the slam.
48:04Koji Ananobi puts the Knicks up by one.
48:07Right around Zion.
48:10Anything you can do, I can do better.
48:12And Williamson will bring it up.
48:17And Ananobi guarding Williamson.
48:20Up top, pull, long three-pointer.
48:22Won't go.
48:23Ananobi with a rebound.
48:26Twenty-three points, eleven rebounds for OG Ananobi.
48:29Brunson being harassed.
48:31Ball knocked loose at a kickball.
48:34It's still going to be Knick Ball.
48:36With 16 on the shot clock.
48:37Previous possession, OG Ananobi.
48:42Zion just drove on him for a layup.
48:45OG drops by Zion for a dunk.
48:47We've got to get a better air horn, Mike.
48:49This game has been too rugged for a sound like that.
48:52And Brunson laughing at it, telling him to point the air horn in the other direction.
48:59Now the Knicks to inbound.
49:01They have to inbound in the front court.
49:03Well, apparently not.
49:08Brunson has it.
49:13Last two minutes.
49:14There's your reason for that.
49:15As Brunson now pulls back.
49:17Brunson three-pointer.
49:19Won't go.
49:19McBride, the offensive rebound.
49:21Back to Brunson.
49:22Brunson to floaters up.
49:23It's good.
49:24Waylon Brunson gives the Knicks a three-point lead.
49:28105 remaining.
49:32He's going to drive.
49:33No fouls.
49:35Here's Jordan Poole.
49:39Poole looking.
49:39Williams on the drive.
49:44A reach and foul.
49:45Knicks can challenge.
49:47That looked like all ball.
49:49They call the foul on Ananobi, and the Knicks immediately will challenge it.
49:53Mike Brown looking in the back.
49:57Let's see it.
49:58It looked like Ananobi got the ball.
50:03And the Knicks are going to challenge.
50:04That looked like a ball.
50:05Well, I'll tell you what, the officials also gave the Knicks a second there, too.
50:14Well, last two minutes again, you get a little extra time.
50:18Plus, it's only right.
50:20Courtesy.
50:21Yes.
50:22Going both ways.
50:23Yes.
50:25So this is a critical call.
50:26For foul by Ananobi.
50:29OG Ananobi, 23 points, 11 rebounds, two steals, a block.
50:35Brunson, meanwhile, 26 points, 10 assists.
50:38Bridges has 10 assists tonight.
50:41He's had 35 assists in his game.
50:43But when you mention Ananobi's stats, he's also guarding Zion Williamson.
50:50And that is no easy task.
50:54OG Ananobi has played like an All-Star all season.
50:58Here's the play.
50:59Boy, that looks clean.
51:03Really does.
51:08And the key here, who has the ball?
51:12And Carl Anthony Towns right there to grab it.
51:15And that, our officiating group, Kevin Cutler, Fantasy Ransom, and Robert Hussie.
51:30This is not an easy game to officiate.
51:33There's been so much contact.
51:34And here we get the call from Kevin Cutler.
51:42After review, Ananobi makes illegal contact with his left arm prior to making legal contact with the right arm.
51:47Therefore, it's an unsuccessful challenge.
51:49Two shots by Zion Williamson.
51:51Now, Mike, I was looking at the off-arm to see if he extended or pushed.
51:56I did not see that.
51:58But this is, of course, back at the replay center.
52:00Watch the left arm here from Ananobi.
52:03That's the key.
52:04Does he impede his progress?
52:06And that's what they're saying.
52:07Forearm impedes his progress.
52:10That's what they're looking for there.
52:12Off-balance, right?
52:13Impede the progress.
52:15That forearm did that.
52:19The way this game has gone, that's not a foul in this game.
52:23This particular game.
52:24Right.
52:25But letter of the law.
52:26But when you go to the challenge, then the officials can look, obviously, closely.
52:30He didn't seem to extend the arm.
52:32That's why I'm surprised.
52:34Big free throws here from Zion Williamson.
52:36And, Mike, that call is made at the replay center, correct?
52:40Well, it's a collaborative effort.
52:42Okay.
52:44So, Williamson, 75% from the line.
52:47Two huge free throws here.
52:51It's both of them.
52:54A season-high.
52:5630 points for Zion Williamson.
52:58Knicks' lead is won.
52:5945 seconds remaining.
53:02Chance of defense.
53:04And Knick fans chanting as well.
53:07Fronts in the drive.
53:08Gets inside.
53:09Layup.
53:09He bangs it home.
53:11Captain clutched with another big bucket.
53:15Knicks back up by three.
53:17Williamson.
53:19On the drive once again.
53:21Gets inside.
53:22Layup is good.
53:24Back and forth they go.
53:26Two teams throwing haymakers at each other.
53:28Knicks by one with 25.1 remaining.
53:33Brunson in the backcourt.
53:34Throws it ahead to Bridges.
53:36Bridges looked like he got fouled.
53:37McBride has it.
53:38McBride getting away.
53:39And there's the foul.
53:41With 16.1 remaining.
53:44And McBride will shoot two free throws.
53:47Jalen Brunson.
53:48Captain clutch.
53:49Cool under pressure.
53:50Has a big man on him.
53:51Gets to his left.
53:52And finishes the layup.
53:53Now watch Zion Williamson set up OG.
53:55He gets caught up in the wash.
53:57And just bounces for that floater.
54:00Well the Knicks closed out the game in Atlanta.
54:02With clutch free throw shooting.
54:04In the final minute.
54:05Deuce McBride.
54:0679% from the line.
54:08But he hasn't taken a free throw in three weeks.
54:12First one is perfect.
54:1616.1 remaining.
54:18Remember Pelicans out of timeouts.
54:21So Knicks would have an opportunity as they bring the ball up the floor to commit a foul.
54:25If they want to make sure they don't get a three-pointer.
54:28McCullough will come in.
54:30For defensive purposes.
54:32Jemison in as well.
54:34On defense here.
54:35For Anthony Towns.
54:37Of the choices you can make off the bench.
54:39And Bryson sits down.
54:40Right ground goes with Trey Jemison.
54:42Big free throw here.
54:44McBride hits both of them.
54:46Two clutch free throws.
54:4716 seconds remaining.
54:49Knicks up three.
54:50Williamson will bring it up.
54:52Williamson looking to hand it off to a three-point shooter.
54:55It's Poole.
54:55Poole leans in.
54:56Tried to draw the foul.
54:57Way off.
54:58Rebound McBride.
54:59Throws it ahead to Bridges.
55:01And a whistle.
55:01Poole tried to draw the foul more than take a good shot attempt.
55:08He did not get the whistle with 5.5 remaining.
55:11Knicks can wrap it up at the free throw line.
55:13Watch him lean in here.
55:15Now this is a perfect D.H.O.
55:16Dribble handoff.
55:18McBride hands back.
55:19And instead of Poole just shooting the ball, he's trying to get hit.
55:23And he throws himself off balance.
55:27He takes a terrible shot.
55:32Deuce can ice it.
55:37Poole knew it.
55:38He was upset after the attempt.
55:40McBride now can wrap it up by just hitting one of these two.
55:44That should do it unless the Knicks commit the most of Regis defensive blunder.
55:54But it just goes to that phrase of this team this season.
55:57Find a way.
56:01Deuce McBride.
56:03Four clutch free throws.
56:05Knicks up five.
56:07Pulled to Bay.
56:09Bay puts up the three-pointer.
56:11That won't go and it's over.
56:14Another inspiring win for the Knicks.
56:16And another victory on the road.
56:19And another game.
56:20Contributions from so many.
56:23Clutch shot making from Jalen Brunson.
56:26But he was not alone.
56:28As the Knicks come back from 10 down in the second half.
56:31To get the victory.
56:35Twenty three-pointers made by the Knicks in this game.
56:37The three-point shot.
56:39Was the biggest part of the story for them.
56:41And second half defense.
56:42Adjustments that need to be made.
56:44And Mike.
56:45Twelve players played tonight.
56:47Twelve players gave something tonight for this win.
56:51All twelve scored at least one bucket.
56:54Except for Huck Korn.
56:58And the Knicks.
57:00Again with another gritty tough battle.
57:03O.G.
57:04Ananobi magnificent continues his.
57:07His all-star resume.
57:09And that was such a huge.
57:11Play for Ananobi.
57:12That's Alexis.
57:13Experience amazing play.
57:15Presented by Alexis.
57:16The official luxury vehicle.
57:18Of the New York Knicks.
57:24And you think about what O.G.
57:25Ananobi did in this game.
57:27And I'll say it one more time.
57:29For those who didn't hear it.
57:30He also spent the majority of this game guarding Zion Williamson.
57:34Which is a physically exhausting thing to do.
57:38Now Ananobi.
57:40Thirty-seven tough minutes.
57:41Twenty-three points.
57:42Eleven rebounds.
57:43Three steals.
57:44A block.
57:44Beasley Wilpito.
57:45All right guys.
57:46We got O.G.
57:48We got Mikael Bridges.
57:49O.G.
57:50We got Jordan Clarkson.
57:51Hey congrats on a great performance.
57:53What was it like going head-to-head against Zion Williamson?
57:56It seemed so physical to watch.
57:58Yeah.
57:58I mean he's an amazing player.
57:59You know.
57:59One of the toughest covers in the league.
58:01You know.
58:02Downhill.
58:02Like he's really an incredible player.
58:04So it was really cool.
58:05You guys gave up 75 first half points.
58:08But only 50 points allowed in the second half.
58:11What was the difference in the second half on the defensive end?
58:13Just taking the challenge.
58:14You know.
58:14Being more physical.
58:15You know.
58:15Doing what the coaches have us do every day.
58:17You know.
58:18Just following through on the court.
58:19Executing.
58:20You guys are doing a great job here of late down the stretch winning these games at crunch
58:23time.
58:23What's been the key to that you think?
58:24Getting stops.
58:25And then efficient scoring.
58:27You know.
58:27Getting a good shot every time down.
58:29And then getting stops.
58:30O.D.
58:30Awara gets a start.
58:32Career high 18.
58:33What's it like to be on a team where it seems like it's a different unhailed player stepping
58:37up every night?
58:37I mean everyone's talented.
58:39And Mo's a super talent.
58:40You know.
58:40He's going to keep getting better and better.
58:42And it was awesome for him to see.
58:43You know.
58:43He's an amazing player.
58:44He's going to keep getting better and better.
58:44It's really cool to see.
58:46G.
58:46Congrats.
58:46Happy New Year.
58:47Great to see you.
58:47Happy New Year.
58:48All right.
58:49Mike Allen.
58:49Back to you.
58:50Great win again for the Knicks.
58:51It's amazing.
58:53Amanda plays with such ferocity and power on the court.
58:57He's so low key and chill off the court.
59:01With another outstanding performance.
59:03Ready to pose for pictures.
59:05A big road win again.
59:06Knicks continue to play well on the road.
59:08As they beat the Pelicans.
59:09More to come.
59:09Including the post game.
