00:23:563-4-3 по-моему, и несколько трехов.
00:23:59Это что вы не хотите увидеть,
00:24:01но это...
00:24:02Дилан Бруэкс-эффект.
00:24:03И эти ребята были уверены.
00:24:058 points и 6 минуты для Гудман.
00:24:12Да, много фоеникс-сунг
00:24:14это сезон.
00:24:17Я думаю, что они еще не будут
00:24:18но они еще не будут.
00:24:20Они еще не будут.
00:24:21Они еще не будут.
00:24:23Томпсонс, работает на базе.
00:24:24Готов.
00:24:28Шепард loses it.
00:24:30Джабарри got it,

00:28:19Доброе утро!
00:28:49Officials, the scorer's table, the clocks in the building, and all of the automated statistics that are logged with the league office.
00:29:03So they're going to try to fix this because it's now been seven delays and or stoppages because of the clock problem.
00:29:09So we'll step aside and we see largest points per game improvement from last season to this season.
00:29:16And our very own Reed Shepard on this list. Joining me to kill Alexander Walker, Ryan Rollins, Jalen Tyson, and Lowry Markkinen.
00:29:24Last year as a rookie, just 4.4 points per this season, 13.3.
00:29:29Almost nine points better per game from last season to this season.
00:29:34For Reed Shepard just playing with a lot more confidence this year.
00:29:39And Ryan, they are still addressing the clock issue.
00:29:45Now the Rockets have played by far, by far, the fewest home games in the league this season.
00:29:51This is just their 13th home game.
00:29:54Maybe it's because there's a lot of rust because the Rockets haven't played here much.
00:29:59And it's just, you know, when something sits around for a couple of months and it doesn't get used, maybe that's the reason why it's not working.
00:30:05But the Rockets have not played very many home games at all.
00:30:08You see there the Pistons, the Celtics, and the Nuggets.
00:30:11And that includes tonight.
00:30:12They've played at home 15 times.
00:30:14This is the 13th home game for the Rockets.
00:30:16And they try to win for the sixth time in a row here in this barn.
00:30:22And right now during these moments, as a player, you're trying to stay loose.
00:30:27Keeping focused on the game plan.
00:30:29You know, approaching this as a chance to have a timeout and really like a mental reset.
00:30:34And what you don't want to do is come out slow.
00:30:36And if you can be the team that hits first off of a delay like this, this could be a huge boost.
00:30:42And, Craig, we'll be honest, if you're Houston, you probably want a bit of a reset to the last game and even the way some moments in this game, too.
00:30:49Well, it's been a weird day for the Suns, as I mentioned.
00:30:53This is probably helping them out.
00:30:55Mechanical issues last night.
00:30:57Oh, there's that guy.
00:30:57This afternoon.
00:30:59And now we've had seven clock issues.
00:31:02And now a lengthy delay as they try to get it solved once and for all.
00:31:08But the delay continues.
00:31:10Well, it's good, too, because Goodwin turned into Steph Curry, you know, those last two, three minutes.
00:31:14And maybe he'll cool down after that.
00:31:17Well, it gives us an opportunity to do some business here.
00:31:20Rockets fans, get your tickets to all the January games that you can't miss.
00:31:24Celebrate culture and community all month long with special family nights like Nigerian Heritage Night and Faith and Family Nights.
00:31:30And secure your seats right now at Rockets.com.
00:31:34This is where, when we're doing our game prep, and we have a section called Blowout Talking Points, you don't think you're going to use those BTPs here.
00:31:44But perhaps this is a time for us to use them as the two head coaches of being briefed by the crew chief, Zach Zarba, who, oh, by the way, if you remember, was the crew chief in that controversial overtime loss in Denver.
00:32:01And he may have had some choice words coming off that loss for that crew that worked.
00:32:12But apparently all professional there as both coaches were informed exactly how this thing is going to take place with how the clock is going to be handled.
00:32:21You want to play some Rockets trivia?
00:32:23Sure.
00:32:23Go ahead.
00:32:24All right.
00:32:24Let's do it.
00:32:25One of our players, he is a cousin of Kwame Brown.
00:32:29There you go.
00:32:30He's an Atlanta native.
00:32:31Let's see if you can pick it.
00:32:32Oh, there he is right there.
00:32:33Jabari Smith Jr.
00:32:33Did you know that?
00:32:34Well, it was easy.
00:32:37It was told to us.
00:32:39Okay.
00:32:40All right.
00:32:40Give me one more.
00:32:42This young man was born in London.
00:32:44But don't think the country.
00:32:45He was born in London.
00:32:48Ohio?
00:32:49Not Ohio.
00:32:50Keep going.
00:32:51He's on the floor right now.
00:32:56Don't think the country.
00:32:57He's on the floor right now.
00:32:59We just talked about him.
00:33:00I know this one.
00:33:01Okay.
00:33:01What is it?
00:33:02Reed Shepard, London, Kentucky.
00:33:03There you go.
00:33:05I think Vanessa smokes with the both of us.
00:33:07If it's anything like the game, I don't want it.
00:33:10I was close.
00:33:11I said Ohio.
00:33:12And it looks like we're going to play ball.
00:33:14Now, they did officially take three seconds off the second quarter game clock.
00:33:18And now it's still not working.
00:33:20It is still not working.
00:33:22And you might need to add somebody out there to go 24, 1,000, 23, 1,000, 22, 1,000, and so on.
00:33:30Or maybe.
00:33:30I'm with it.
00:33:32Now, do we continue to play trivia?
00:33:35You let me know.
00:33:35Go ahead.
00:33:36Let's do it.
00:33:37Vanessa.
00:33:37Vanessa, you ready?
00:33:38We're going to play some more trivia.
00:33:39Join us.
00:33:39Okay.
00:33:39Sounds good.
00:33:40His father is a fisherman and a former player.
00:33:45We're talking about a rocket?
00:33:46He's a rocket.
00:33:47I'll answer any questions.
00:33:49He is 23 years old.
00:33:53His father is a fisherman?
00:33:54Fisherman.
00:33:55Well, the only player is 23 years old.
00:33:57Rocket.
00:33:57It's got to be Jabari again, right?
00:33:59He was an all-star.
00:34:00He was an all-star one season.
00:34:02Not Jabari.
00:34:04Jabari Sr. was a player.
00:34:05I don't know if he was a fisherman, though.
00:34:06Yes, he played for the Kings, I believe.
00:34:09But this was a fisherman.
00:34:11Think of cultures, different cultures, guys.
00:34:14Steven Adams?
00:34:15No.
00:34:16Close.
00:34:16Are you talking NBA all-star?
00:34:17He was an all-star.
00:34:18NBA all-star.
00:34:19There you go.
00:34:19You're getting hot.
00:34:22You need another guess?
00:34:24Yeah.
00:34:25Give us another.
00:34:25He averages 3.3 turnovers per game.
00:34:32I've got to throw you off the track.
00:34:33I've got to make you work.
00:34:34I give up.
00:34:36He weighs 243 pounds.
00:34:39His dad was an NBA all-star.
00:34:41No, no, no, no.
00:34:42He was an NBA all-star.
00:34:43Oh, I thought you.
00:34:44No, no.
00:34:45You were saying.
00:34:46Yeah, you said his dad.
00:34:47His dad was a fisherman.
00:34:48You said his dad.
00:34:49But he.
00:34:50No, you said his dad was also.
00:34:51It is so clearly Alfred Schinger.
00:34:53There you go.
00:34:53Thank you.
00:34:54Oh, come on.
00:34:55That's what I'm like.
00:34:56First of all, I'm like, no other Rockets player's dad played in the league.
00:34:59And I'm thinking, like, what?
00:35:00Okay.
00:35:01Okay, first of all, by the way, Ryan does this trivia game.
00:35:04He does.
00:35:05Pre-game with Rocket security.
00:35:07And he's been doing it now for two straight weeks.
00:35:08This is your Super Bowl.
00:35:09Where's Tim?
00:35:10Can we get Tim on camera?
00:35:11Tim, he's probably the main guy.
00:35:14And Square and Kelly, those guys.
00:35:16We're going to see Dave over there.
00:35:17The fact that you can throw in this game that you're so proud of right here.
00:35:20And you just screwed it up.
00:35:22Yeah, completely.
00:35:23Come on, man.
00:35:24You got to be better than that, Ryan.
00:35:26Okay, okay.
00:35:26This is your game.
00:35:27This is your game.
00:35:28Here's mine for you guys.
00:35:29Okay.
00:35:29Which Rockets player has the oldest soul when it comes to music?
00:35:32I mean, bumping occasionally 60s, 70s.
00:35:36Jeff Green.
00:35:36We just did Reed.
00:35:37Jeff Green.
00:35:38Neither.
00:35:38Kevin Durant.
00:35:40It is Tari Eason.
00:35:42Tari can throw down the Temptations.
00:35:45Tari likes them out green.
00:35:46Well, you're the jukebox.
00:35:47Mama raised it well.
00:35:49Mama Eason.
00:35:50Okay.
00:35:50Mama G.
00:35:51All right, Ryan.
00:35:52What do you got?
00:35:52I got nothing.
00:35:53I'm just going to start answering or not answering questions.
00:35:55He played in the Belizean League?
00:35:58Belgian League?
00:35:59Belgian League.
00:35:59Belgian League.
00:36:00There you go.
00:36:00That's Jay Shante.
00:36:01Cup on.
00:36:01Jay Shante.
00:36:02All right.
00:36:02We got to do some business here, and then we'll get back to trivia.
00:36:06At least in Belgium, sorry.
00:36:08We take this time out from Ryan Holland's trivia game for a word from Jack in the Box.
00:36:13The best-rated burger and fast food with more beef than a Big Mac.
00:36:17Keep up, Ronald.
00:36:18Welcome to Jack in the Box.
00:36:19All right, let's go.
00:36:21Keep going.
00:36:21He was Vanessa.
00:36:22He was a G League champion in 2017.
00:36:26A G League champion, and he has a youth foundation.
00:36:32Oh, well, to be fair, most of the guys have foundations.
00:36:35We have very, very charitable players.
00:36:38Okay.
00:36:39He was an NBPA president, elected in 2025.
00:36:43Yeah, that'd be Fred VanVleet.
00:36:44There you go.
00:36:45He's also an NBA champion, not just—did you say G League?
00:36:49Yeah, G League.
00:36:49I had to throw you off the course.
00:36:51That's the trick.
00:36:53G League and NBA.
00:36:54Are we going to play basketball right now?
00:36:56We are, and there's no working clock in the building, so obviously that's being communicated
00:37:00to the players on the floor.
00:37:02Now, Craig, I think I'd like to get my trivia as a sponsored segment.
00:37:06Can you maybe call in a favor?
00:37:09You know what?
00:37:10I'm not sure if that was something that went well over or poorly over, but it killed some
00:37:15time, and here we are again.
00:37:17There has been significant clock problems, and we do not have a working clock.
00:37:21We do have a working event, Thompson.
00:37:22Hey, that's what you want to do.
00:37:23Get right to the cup.
00:37:24You don't want a three-pointer off a delay.
00:37:26Get the juices back going, and Amid Thompson had the right mindset there, and you see the
00:37:31Suns missed the jump shot.
00:37:33So again, the possession and the game clock, it has to be being somehow, someway communicated
00:37:43to the players and the coaches.
00:37:44In that situation, when you have a loaded side, you've got to stay a little more connected
00:37:48to your guy because you've got help.
00:37:49Lee Shepard rolled that up and in.
00:37:52Roll it again, Craig.
00:37:53Houston getting two layups.
00:37:55Obviously, the Suns got one, but you don't want to settle.
00:37:58Oh, another three for Phoenix.
00:38:03It's their eight, but Gillespie's hot, stays hot.
00:38:06His third, he's got nine points.
00:38:07The Phoenix, man, they have been undermanned, but they just play three.
00:38:15With this tempo, they'll let you right back in the game, so expect a lot of runs, and for
00:38:19Houston, you just have to stay solid and, again, chase the play that you know you can get.
00:38:24Pick up this dude.
00:38:26Good win.
00:38:27Oh, wow.
00:38:29Iguodoro tried to take the rim off the backboard there, and ultimately got fouled.
00:38:34That make that, actually, Ryan Dunn, I beg your pardon.
00:38:38Ryan Dunn with the flying dunk attempt.
00:38:41Iguodoro is also on the floor, but it was Ryan Dunn, who is a high flyer.
00:38:47He's got some hops.
00:38:48All right, so he ended up getting fouled by a man Thompson, his first.
00:38:51Now, college students, the Rockets have an exclusive ticket deal just for you.

00:39:18I'm sure we'll find out what they're doing here.
00:39:21But, you know, as a player, normally you kind of take a look up, a gaze at the shot clock,
00:39:26and you have a kind of a vision on both sides of what's going on.
00:39:29It's never like when you're a kid, so you're playing some pick-up ball or something.
00:39:32You're practicing, like, game-winning shots.
00:39:34Three, two, one.
00:39:36I'm sure that's the kind of communications that's going to be taking place from the officials
00:39:39and the players if they can hear.
00:39:41There you go.
00:39:42You said it right.
00:39:43If you're a coach or a player on the bench, you're probably going to be screaming out at the clock.
00:39:47And we actually hear Jonathan Samford, our PA, is vocalizing.
00:39:53Yeah, he's helping to vocalize to the players where the clock is.
00:39:57The Rockets get the offensive rebound and the shot by Tarahis.
00:40:00How much do you think the players can actually fear him, though?
00:40:04They're so focused on the game.
00:40:05I mean, what we do, we kind of tune out a lot of the noise of the building as well.
00:40:09Do you think that they're paying attention to that?
00:40:11As a player, it's something you want to communicate yourself.
00:40:13Another three.
00:40:14They can't miss.
00:40:15Yeah, if you're off the ball, you might want to tell your teammate it's time to shoot and communicate.
00:40:20And that's one thing, player to player, you want to be talking.
00:40:26He got fouled.
00:40:28Jabari Schmidt Jr. did.
00:40:29He'll get two free throws.
00:40:31The Rockets have only been there four times, all courtesy of Steven Adams.
00:40:35And they're looking for their first make at the foul line.
00:40:38As I mentioned earlier, the Rockets have beaten the Suns six times in a row.
00:40:41They've also won nine of the last 11 games played against Phoenix after losing a series-high nine straight.
00:40:48So two free throws here for Jabari Schmidt Jr.
00:40:51What has been a delayed and elongated, strange first half.
00:40:55There's the first make at the line for the Rockets tonight.
00:40:57And now a word from Standard Insurance.
00:40:59Tired of high prices?
00:41:01Standard's been saving Texans money for over 70 years.
00:41:03Call, come by, or click us.
00:41:05Standardinsurance.net.
00:41:06Don't delay.
00:41:07Call Standard today.
00:41:09So one more for Jabari, who outside of that game in Dallas has been on a roll
00:41:18and in quite the rhythm, especially from three.
00:41:22He misses that second free throw, and the Rockets are having some problems with the foul line.
00:41:25Now just one of six in the team.
00:41:30That ball knocked out of bounds with Shears Fleming in for them off the bench.
00:41:36And Craig, too, honestly, for the players, you play so much pickup ball or practice that you almost have to make yourself accustomed, you know, to the shot clock.
00:41:44But, again, this is something that the players are just going to have to communicate to themselves.
00:41:48So you're right.
00:41:48They're probably not listening to Jonathan Sanford, who probably deserves a raise after this game.
00:41:53All right.
00:41:53Vanessa Richardson has an update on the clock.
00:41:55What you got for us, Vanessa?
00:41:56Yeah, obviously there is no working clock as of now.
00:41:59The clock box is not working.
00:42:01They are working on trying to get that up and running.
00:42:04As of now, Jonathan Sanford, the PA announcer here at Toyota Center, will communicate the time he's typically been.
00:42:10Counting down from 10, and the players are obviously hoping they can hear it.
00:42:13The assistant coaches and video department having to work extra hard tonight to communicate with the bench.
00:42:18We appreciate that update.
00:42:22And also, wow, good stuff.
00:42:23Yeah, it's kind of, at times, it's tough for us to hear the PA in the building with our headsets on and so forth.
00:42:27But, obviously, that's being communicated.
00:42:30If you're a player, play through the whistle as Tari clearly gets that step.
00:42:35Play through the whistle and just keep playing.
00:42:37O'Neal, step left.
00:42:38Oh, his third three.
00:42:41O'Neal, Gillespie, Goodwin have all made three threes in this first half.
00:42:47This is a different Suns team than we just saw, okay, probably a couple weeks ago.
00:42:53Rockets are the third-best three-point shooting team in the league, coming in at 39%.
00:43:00The Suns at 12-36, but they are on fire tonight.
00:43:04O'Neal just rolled an ankle.
00:43:06He's grimacing.
00:43:06Rockets get the ball back, and Adams misses the little hook shot.
00:43:10It's knocked out of bounds by a man Thompson.
00:43:12Is O'Neal going to be able to continue?
00:43:15Looks like he will.
00:43:16What we're noticing, Royce is a former teammate of mine.
00:43:19He's tough as nails.
00:43:20His foot would have to be falling off for him to come out the game.
00:43:23I'll tell you that much right now.
00:43:25Former football player.
00:43:27Rockets have been outscored.
00:43:28He did the math by 21 points here in this first half of the three-point line.
00:43:31The Suns 10 and 18 from three.
00:43:34What you notice is the guys are just, they're hearing Sanford count,
00:43:38and they're just shooting the ball right away.
00:43:39I don't know how, again, I, how much Sanford count is out there.
00:43:46It's Registro, they're hearing him.
00:43:49Duran hasn't turned over.
00:43:50No, he doesn't.
00:43:52And, Tari Asin tried to throw it down.
00:43:55That didn't go.
00:43:57Gillespie.
00:43:59Nice little Euro step here by Dunn.
00:44:02The Suns came in, flew in this afternoon.
00:44:05And they are playing with more energy and force than the Rockets are so far in this game,
00:44:11and they have matched their biggest lead at nine.
00:44:15It is their new biggest lead.
00:44:17Rather, they're up by eight early as that three goes down.
00:44:20Tari Asin with his second shooting 50% from three this season.
00:44:25Yeah, he is red hot, man.
00:44:26That was a tough three because the catch was wide.
00:44:29That was way off for O'Neal, but they get the offensive rebound.
00:44:32In and out for Gillespie.
00:44:34Flemming battling down low.
00:44:36He throws it up.
00:44:37He misses.
00:44:38He stays with the play.
00:44:39He still fights for it.
00:44:41Comes down to Reed Shepard.
00:44:42He loses the ball.
00:44:43Squirts to Kevin Durant, who spins by O'Neal,
00:44:46who finds a Kogi, who spots up in the corner,
00:44:49misses the shot.
00:44:50Rebound Phoenix.
00:44:53Woo!
00:44:53Six-seven.
00:44:54That was also Iguodaro with the slam.
00:45:00Now, the game is almost starting to really feel like a pickup game.
00:45:04Yes.
00:45:04With no clock, so if you're Houston, get situated.
00:45:08Don't give up layups.
00:45:09And right now, with these three-point shots,
00:45:11you've got to get connected to the Suns.
00:45:14The score you're seeing is correct.
00:45:17The score inside the arena is not correct.
00:45:20Score on your screen is correct.
00:45:22Kevin Durant from the mid-range.
00:45:24So that's his third make.
00:45:25He's got seven.
00:45:29And again, in a game like this, man, just play basketball.
00:45:32Forget the clock.
00:45:33We've just passed the midway point, by the way,
00:45:35of the second quarter.
00:45:36I did hear Jonathan Sanford mention that.
00:45:39Gillespie doesn't take some three.
00:45:41Some contact there on that drive, and he banked it in, falling down.
00:45:45Very impressive first half for him.
00:45:48Yeah, he's in the building over, kid.
00:45:50He'd probably have a national championship if it wasn't for COVID.
00:46:00Let it get switched up on Durant.
00:46:02You hear the CAA announcer counting down to 24.
00:46:04Durant into the lane.
00:46:05Durant got five.
00:46:06Just so weird, so strange.
00:46:09Timeout on the floor.
00:46:10And we do have a timeout on the floor, playing without a clock, a shot clock.
00:46:14And the Suns, with this timeout, lead the Rockets 47-39,
00:46:19somewhere in the area of five-ish minutes to play in this first half.
00:46:24As we head to break, let's check in now with Kevin Eschenfeld,
00:46:26who's hanging out in the Rooms to Go Lounge.
00:46:27All right, thanks, Craig, and welcome inside the Rooms to Go Lounge.

00:47:00Now back to the Rockets and Suns right after this.
00:47:037-39 Suns.
00:47:05I am joined by Anthony Fluffy Hernandez.
00:47:07He's the number one ranked UFC middleweight,
00:47:09and he will take on number three ranked Sean Strickland in the main event here
00:47:13at Toyota Center, February 21st.
00:47:15Chaotic game for you with the clock and the score not working.
00:47:18Yeah, no, it's been crazy, but it's been a blast to be here,
00:47:22and I'm super just enjoying it, and I can't wait to fight in this arena.
00:47:25How excited are you?
00:47:26What are you looking forward to the most?
00:47:29Well, coming out here, putting on the show in front of the fans,
00:47:32and proving that I'm ready for a title shot.
00:47:34And as a fighter, what's something that you want UFC fans to know about you?
00:47:38I want them to know that I'm a hardworking guy,
00:47:41and I can come to get what's mine,
00:47:42so I'm going to make a statement, and I'm going to come get my belt.
00:47:45A UFC fighter nicknamed Fluffy.
00:47:47There's got to be a story there.
00:47:49Yeah, I was a little fat kid.
00:47:51Not a very tough one, I know, but it works out.
00:47:53You know what I mean?
00:47:55That's awesome.
00:47:55Thank you for your time, and we should mention,
00:47:57tickets go on sale on Friday at toyotacenter.com.
00:48:00Enjoy the game.
00:48:01Thank you.
00:48:02Craig and Ryan, back to you.
00:48:03Fluffy.
00:48:03Our thanks to Fluffy and Vanessa.
00:48:07I'm not messing with Fluffy, I'll tell you that much.
00:48:09That was too big of a smile, too.
00:48:13Too nice of a smile.
00:48:15I'm not messing with Fluffy.
00:48:17So as you see now, the score is right,
00:48:20but that clock was the situation basically as we went into the timeout.
00:48:2315 seconds.
00:48:2915 seconds are now about 11 seconds left on the sun,
00:48:31because they should have a quicker back in.
00:48:34Booker's working on Aaron Holiday.
00:48:36Who loses the ball, goes to Dillon Brooks.
00:48:38Had to even, because you can hear that the shot clock is winding down,
00:48:42and then Kamari got hit in the face.
00:48:44Hooked in the eye, I think.
00:48:47Again, for Houston, just come out and play basketball.
00:48:51You know, let the game come natural, too.
00:48:53Just like practice, you know, in some ways,
00:48:55this maybe takes some of the stress off,
00:48:56and watch Jabari get this rebound.
00:48:58Watch that right hand come across the eye.
00:49:00I swear, Jabari and Al P. get hit in the face
00:49:03more than any player I've ever seen.
00:49:06And Phoenix will call a timeout in this start
00:49:16and a lot stop first half here at Toyota Center.
00:49:21I'm going to move until the next timeout.
00:49:24They get updated because on the stats monitors
00:49:26and the NBA's internal system, the clock is working.
00:49:30It's just not translating to any of the official game clocks
00:49:33inside of the building, and subsequently, our score bug.
00:49:36Here on Space City Hall Network.
00:49:39Let's take a...
00:49:40The Suns, by the way, called that timeout
00:49:41to challenge the play.
00:49:44Now, the Rockets' upcoming schedule here
00:49:46is presented by Kaplan's Sinus Relief.
00:49:48Again, we just talked about the Rockets,
00:49:50just their 13th home game, the fewest in the league.
00:49:51Right back out on the road for another week.
00:49:53But that's the way, this upcoming road trip
00:49:55is going to end this crazy stretch
00:49:56for the Rockets on the road.
00:49:58Two in Portland, and then one in Sacramento.
00:50:03Blazers are a fun team this year.
00:50:05Rockets told the Kings one.
00:50:07We know what happened the last time
00:50:08they were in Sacramento.
00:50:09And then the Rockets actually get to play a homestand.
00:50:12Bulls, Thunder, our first look at the Timberwolves
00:50:15this season.
00:50:16And again, we had a coach's challenge.
00:50:18Here's the result.
00:50:19Yeah, take it away, Zach.
00:50:30Maybe not.
00:50:35He's ready.
00:50:35I think he's waiting for the official timeout.
00:50:40After the review, Durant's been deemed
00:50:41to be in a legal box-out position,
00:50:42and the contact from his left arm to Fleming is marginal.
00:50:45It does not have a direct effect on the play.
00:50:47Therefore, the ruling on the floor stands,
00:50:48and the challenge is unsuccessful.
00:50:51So they were...
00:50:52He seems to be confused.
00:50:59A tad bit confused as well.
00:51:01Was not initially aware that the timeout
00:51:03was being called to challenge the play.
00:51:06Fans are applauding because they put the score
00:51:13on the main scoreboards,
00:51:15but that's just where it was.
00:51:17They could update it after stoppages.
00:51:20That's it.
00:51:22There's still no working, running clock.
00:51:27Durant to Holiday.
00:51:29Way short.
00:51:31Picked up by Dorian Finney-Smith
00:51:32that went off the booker.
00:51:33I have no idea how much time is left on this possession.
00:51:36Talk about that hustle there.
00:51:39Five seconds, they say, on this possession.
00:51:42I think that might be a little generous,
00:51:44but five seconds on this possession for the Rockets.
00:51:48Here comes Allen.
00:51:49For some home cooking from Jonathan Sanford.
00:51:53There's some home cooking out there, man.
00:51:55To me, it seems like there should be less than five.
00:51:58Here's Durant to Finney-Smith.
00:52:02Got it.
00:52:03There you go.
00:52:04Nice little two-man game from the veterans.
00:52:07He beat the countdown.
00:52:08I mean, he can slow that countdown a little more, you know?
00:52:12Get that home cooking.
00:52:13And it's time to call for the foul on Booker.
00:52:17Listen, Jonathan Sanford understand the assignment,
00:52:19but look at this little two-man game here.
00:52:21And Durant, man, can't say enough about his willingness to pass and make plays.
00:52:26And that is why you go out and get Dorian Finney-Smith, man.
00:52:30He has been, you see him getting a little healthier each and every game,
00:52:33but he's a spacer and a defender and a glue guy.
00:52:35He is a dangerous shooter from the corners.
00:52:37Shot 45% from the corners last season,
00:52:39and he's at 39% for his career.
00:52:43He's got seven.
00:52:46They get reached.
00:52:46Shepard has seven.
00:52:47Finney-Smith, that was his first basket of the game.
00:52:50Make it apart.
00:52:50Devin Booker scores.
00:52:52He's got seven.
00:52:53Inside of four to play in that little Eurostep.
00:53:00Bank shot good for Thompson.
00:53:01Just makes that look so easy, that little right-to-left step over.
00:53:05And it's a mid-Thompson, man.
00:53:07He's just a freak of nature.
00:53:12Booker over Durant.
00:53:14He had not hit a three until that game-winner last time.
00:53:18Yeah, he's had quite, you know,
00:53:21missed some time with injury.
00:53:23It looks like he's still trying to get in rhythm.
00:53:25He's only played in one of the games against the Rockets,
00:53:27and Kevin Durant's only played in one of the games.
00:53:29One of the games against the Suns.
00:53:30He missed the one in Phoenix.
00:53:32Booker, the Rockets weren't ready for the runout.
00:53:35That's where we said the one thing you've got to do now
00:53:37is get located, man.
00:53:39These Suns are running for threes and running fast.
00:53:42Rockets are being outscored by 15 on the break.
00:53:44Finney-Smith driving kick.
00:53:45Holiday comes down the baseline, runs it up, and scores.
00:53:48Good to see the ball go through the hoop for Aaron Hollis.
00:53:51I'm telling you, man,
00:53:52he's always in one of the toughest positions in sports.
00:53:55He doesn't get a chance to step into a game
00:53:57and get in rhythm,
00:53:58and he just goes out there and makes stuff happen.
00:54:00Yeah, Finney-Smith gets Booker.
00:54:01He'll go to the free-throw line.
00:54:03Holiday 0 for 6 up in Dallas.
00:54:05Yeah, Devin Booker starting to heat up,
00:54:08and you like this ball movement.
00:54:09Watch the ball move there from Finney-Smith.
00:54:11Doesn't get a clean catch,
00:54:12but Aaron Hollis, man,
00:54:14watch the ball go through the hoop
00:54:15and see him heat up,
00:54:16but, man, he gets in such tough spots
00:54:18because he's just got to go out there and be ready,
00:54:20and for the most part, he is.
00:54:23Greatest Phoenix son of all time, Devin Booker.
00:54:26No question there.
00:54:27No question.
00:54:27He is so beloved in the city.
00:54:29He does so much for the city.
00:54:32When he comes out,
00:54:32when you're in Phoenix,
00:54:33there's like a standing ovation
00:54:34whenever you see Devin Booker.
00:54:36Man, they absolutely love some Devin Booker.
00:54:39Franchise leader in points, assist, steals.
00:54:42I think there might be another category or two.
00:54:44He's their all-time leader in.
00:54:48Damaging almost 26 a game,
00:54:50shooting 86% at the line,
00:54:53which is just a tad bit lower than his career average.
00:54:58And he makes a bolt,
00:54:59so he's got 11,
00:55:01as does Gillespie and Goodwin.
00:55:03Nine points from Royce and Steel.
00:55:05Rockets are faced by Atari East.
00:55:06It's 10.
00:55:07Durant's got nine.
00:55:08Again, Reed Shepard has seven.
00:55:10Fifteen seconds.
00:55:13Durant to the elbow.
00:55:15And Durant now with 11 points.
00:55:17He's useless leading scorer.
00:55:18Leapfrogging Curry East.
00:55:20He is so good.
00:55:21It's not the first guy he beats,
00:55:22but the secondary help, man,
00:55:24and shoots right over him.
00:55:25Booker fading fire along the baseline.
00:55:28Thompson tracks down the rebound.
00:55:32Markets are plus six on the glass so far.
00:55:35Durant for three.
00:55:37There's one for seven from there.
00:55:40three seasons for him
00:55:43with the Suns.
00:55:45Moore being acquired by the Rockets
00:55:46for Dillard Brooks,
00:55:48Jalen Green,
00:55:50giving them their pick back
00:55:51as Brooks knocks it down.
00:55:53His second make.
00:55:54Again, Dillard Brooks just exploding this season.
00:55:57He's got attention to the entire NBA.
00:56:02Holiday turn back.
00:56:03Two seconds.
00:56:06Working on the Goddaro.
00:56:09Off the glass.
00:56:11Banked it in off the runner
00:56:12against a much bigger defender.
00:56:15A little sky hook there,
00:56:17like Kareem, the whole UCLA move.
00:56:19Looks like the clock is working.
00:56:21At least the running clock on the main scoreboard,
00:56:24not on the shot clock that the players can see,
00:56:26so we're making progress.
00:56:28Here's Devin Booker.
00:56:29Doubled.
00:56:31Allen.
00:56:31I thought Kevin got him with the right hand on the body,
00:56:37but if he just kept his hand up,
00:56:39he probably blocks that.
00:56:41Of course, he was in foul trouble in Dallas
00:56:43and four of them in the first half.
00:56:46Look at this,
00:56:47and Rocker's staff in little running sky hook
00:56:51from Aaron Holiday, man.
00:56:52Those NBA guys,
00:56:54they work on layups
00:56:55outside of the restricted area.
00:56:59So Durant called for his first foul,
00:57:01and Oso Iguodaro going to the line.
00:57:04He's really struggled from there.
00:57:0748, 49% this season at the line.
00:57:11So basically 50-50 proposition.
00:57:13This is the first.
00:57:14Now Houston get excited
00:57:15because the Rockets dropped
00:57:16their second Summit collection
00:57:18that you're not going to want to miss.
00:57:19Grab your gear in the team's door online
00:57:21at Rocket Shop.
00:57:22Dotcom.
00:57:23I love the dialogue
00:57:24that those two have always had,
00:57:26you know,
00:57:26just the friendly competition,
00:57:28and I don't think it's trash talk.
00:57:30They're just talking basketball,
00:57:31saying he wants his other game,
00:57:34and, you know,
00:57:34a great score appreciates
00:57:36a great defender.
00:57:37So one for two for Iguodaro,
00:57:38who was born in Mesa,
00:57:40went to high school in Phoenix.
00:57:47Russell gets switched up on Thompson.
00:57:50There's the help.
00:57:51Back to Holiday.
00:57:52Knocked away.
00:57:57Stolen by Grayson Allen.
00:58:00Line to Guadaro,
00:58:01and his pass just went out of bounds.
00:58:06Intended for Booker.
00:58:07Jordan Knox done a terrific job
00:58:11in his first season
00:58:12as the Sun's head coach.
00:58:13A reminder coming up
00:58:14on the Toya Half-Dribe Report.
00:58:16Join Julia Morales and Calvin Murphy.
00:58:19It's been a busy day for Julia.
00:58:21She was at the press conference
00:58:22over here today,
00:58:23and now working with Calvin tonight.
00:58:25about the folks behind the scenes
00:58:28working to get this scoreboard together
00:58:30and this situation together.
00:58:31Toyota Center, man,
00:58:32they're stepping up.
00:58:33It's working on your score bug.
00:58:35It's working on the main scoreboard
00:58:36here at Toyota Center,
00:58:37but the clocks on the floor
00:58:38are not working.
00:58:39Turnover and dunk.
00:58:41Therefore, the Suns.
00:58:42The big key, Craig,
00:58:43is the turnovers.
00:58:44That's something you do not
00:58:46want to see against the Suns,
00:58:48and they try to force him.
00:58:49Oh, God.
00:58:50For the Rockets.
00:58:51Durant and Thompson hangs in the air.
00:58:52Missed fires,
00:58:54and then got fouled.
00:58:55Look, going for that miss.
00:58:58It's going to be on Dylan Brooks,
00:58:59and that's going to be his second.
00:59:01And the first and the last two
00:59:02on the Suns.
00:59:03Houston got away
00:59:04with another near turnover here,
00:59:07and then Thompson goes up.
00:59:09Yeah, he's slapped
00:59:09in the back of the head.
00:59:11Oh, Dylan.
00:59:12Brooks clears him out,
00:59:13and those two had a little bit
00:59:15of exchange earlier.
00:59:17No love lost.
00:59:23Another foul on Brooks,
00:59:24this time drawn by Kevin Durant.
00:59:26Two in a row on Brooks,
00:59:28three overall,
00:59:30and Kevin Durant
00:59:30to the free throw line.
00:59:31He scored six of his 11 points
00:59:33in this quarter
00:59:35with exactly 31 seconds,
00:59:37and that is correct to play
00:59:38in this first half.
00:59:40Hopefully, by the time
00:59:41in the second half starts,
00:59:42the clocks on the floor,
00:59:45which are most important
00:59:46to the players,
00:59:46will be working.
00:59:48Look at Dylan and Jabari, man.
00:59:50They've been shoving each other,
00:59:52and the free throw
00:59:52hasn't even gone up.
00:59:54I mean, Dylan Brooks
00:59:54is just taking shots
00:59:56to their everybody,
00:59:57and there's still so much love here.
