04:07The statistics though of Kevin Durant's game winner this was his sixth game winning field goal with under two seconds remaining in his career he's ranked third among active players only behind someone in this arena Damian Lillard and LeBron James Tari Jabari Amin all the young players telling me they were in awe to see Kevin Durant who they grew up looking up to make his first shot like that since joining the Rockets and becoming their teammate Craig
04:37That was a poetic moment for Kevin Durant to do that against his former team as you heard in his postgame comments that was a that meant something more to him than just any any regular sort of game winning bucket it meant something to him because of the way that things ended for him in Phoenix and of course we loved it
04:58It was a weird night an unusual night but a great night as Kevin Durant gave the Rockets that victory of course with Ryan Hollins
05:04I am Craig Ackerman these are the starting lineups tonight presented by Mattress Firm and the Rockets will go with Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr.
05:12Steven Adams, Targisum, and Amin Thompson on the other side for the Blazers
05:16Shaden Sharp, Denny Abdi and Donovan Klingon, CeeDee Sissoko has been great this season and Tumani Kamara
05:23The Blazers have dealt with so many significant injuries to so many players this season they play hard they're scrappy and do not take them lightly despite their 17 and 20 record they have some big time wins this season and they like the Rockets had won five of their last six and Ryan it's now time for the keys to the game presented by Toyota
05:45First off turnovers both teams are playing well but when they've had struggles turnovers have been an issue on both sides with all the injuries to the point guard position pace when you're on the road it's extremely important to control pace one thing you do by doing that you keep the fans out of it and you've got to defend get to the free throw line and most importantly take care of the basketball DTD we're going to say it again destroyed the double with no
06:10You can expect if Katie gets going he's going to be doubled so it's very valuable for Houston to get good shots layups and great action off of Kevin Durant tonight in his minutes this is the beginning of the end of this difficult road stretch for the Rockets where they have played 17 ultimately will play 17 of 24 games on the road this will end in Sacramento but the Rockets so far in this stretch
06:40the Blazers earlier this season in Houston are going to try to do it tonight and then again in this building on Friday night as I've said over and over and over again over the years this is my single favorite road locale in the league to call a game so many memorable moments between the Rockets and the Blazers here in Portland I'm looking forward to another great game here tonight
07:02it just means there's no games in Secaucus Craig that's true point taken so here's Denny Avdia and Shade Sharp this team is a lot better than their record would indicate as I talked about it Klingens having a good season and he's been shooting it a lot better from three but the Rockets will live with him taking threes yeah but you saw the urgency Stephen normally sits in the paint he really closed out and wide open for a man he misses that and he got two of the best offensive rebounds
07:32teams in the league matching wits with one another here tonight the Rockets will get another crack at it you got two of the best rebounders in the world and Steven Adams and Donovan Klingen Klingen is a monster he is so big and Durant gets the scoring started again man those are layups for Kevin and for any other normal player those are high difficulty shots
07:57and there's Obdiah he is a downhill threat yeah absolutely no wasted motion and he's looking for contact so I think he just caught Tari off guard there he's a little quicker a little crappier than you think
08:10Obdiah needs to make the all-star team this year it's been that good Durant again he's now inside of 50 points away from passing Will Chamberlain on the all-time scoring list again that very well might happen here Friday night
08:23and then Tari Eason staying in front of Sharp who went into his chest fell down Tari dislodged the ball Portland ball but good defense by Tari Eason beautiful footwork there from Tari to beat Sharp to the spot you know how quick he is
08:38Sharp averaging a career high and scoring this season never want to be afraid to take his shot
08:45He's gonna pay a lot of attention to him Sissoko blocked at the rim rudely by Steven Adams blocked the ball and then took his soul
09:00Wow
09:02I don't know if I've seen a block that sweet in a long time I mean look at Steven Adams he's coming from the other side puts that on the glass and watch Sissoko here
09:14He just goes flying airborne and that's as clean as you can get as violent a block as you'll ever see
09:22That's in clean normally you know you get a guy with the body that was just hand on ball on backboard
09:28Unreal so and then Thompson is at the line after Obdiah picked up the foul
09:33Look at this block here this we're going to be seeing a lot more of that from Academy Sports
09:40An outdoor Super Bowl replay and again you see the physical presence and dominance that Steven Adams brings to the table
09:49It's one of the best
09:53I don't know if I've seen it the way he hit the floor
09:57I've seen in a long long while I mean just again the sheer violence of it all
10:01He palmed the ball so hard that the rest of Sissoko's body went flying through the air and smashed the floor
10:08If we can get a shot of Sissoko
10:11It's a big guy
10:12It's not like he's small right 6'8, 6'9
10:15Right I mean he's listed at 200 but I think he goes like 230
10:19Easy
10:19Easy
10:20I mean that was a that's a big strong man that Steven Adams just absolutely just crushed
10:27On a perfectly clean block as Rockets lead 6-2
10:31You've never seen that one for a while
10:33That's what he's been doing he's more willing to shoot that three in those pull-ups and it becomes tough because how much of a downhill driver he is
10:49And Thompson goes downhill Tari misses stays with it
10:52I always love when the territories connect you know those two players with such high energy
10:58There goes Aki again count it plus the foul
11:02This guy is a special player having a breakout season
11:06And is again this this Blazers team this year has been held together by duct tape gum and this dude
11:15Small note there but that's a tough pick and roll for the big you almost have to assume that that side pick and roll is coming
11:21I think
11:22Aston got caught in between weaken it and Steven wasn't there so for the big you got to call that out early and often and you got to
11:29Get those feet switched a lot quicker, but that is one of the toughest plays in basketball because you really have to anticipate
11:36There's those side pick and rolls
11:38You saw his stats against the jazz that was almost his second straight triple double had won the game before on his birthday his 25th birthday
11:44These two teams turn the ball over more than any two teams in the league
11:49Let's hope that those turnovers are on the home team side tonight
11:55Obdi has been hot that gets deflected by Durant and what's tough too with Obdi he is a willing passer
12:02You know he will hit those guys for open shots, but it's very important with a guy like that you show your help
12:08But you're always prepared to recover to the shooter. He's averaging 26 7 and 7
12:15Clinging
12:16Almost the same spot as that first attempt and this time it's good for him again
12:20He has been shooting it really well coming into this game from three like almost 50 percent over the previous 17 games. That's excellent
12:29And the Rockets will still have it excellent is steven adams here to the boards and clinging look like he may have
12:37suffered a little bit of a shoulder
12:40Stinger trying to work his way through
12:44Excellence would be a min Thompson
12:48Yes in more ways than one
12:51Durant got pushed sitting the screen
12:53It's gonna be on to money Kamara
12:55On the floor on the floor
12:57Yep
12:58What the teams really want to do is contact switch because if you leave any gap
13:03Durant's gonna be wide open again. He just takes so much
13:08Attention from opposing defenses
13:13There's the pick Durant around it
13:15Shoots over Klingon and a hierarchy jay goes down that's going to be money for houston all night
13:20Klingon is going to struggle to get to the level with his size
13:25Dances off for kamara rebound squirts out to tari eason. How about that box out from durant underneath on Klingon?
13:34It's all about the fundamentals oh nice to get past tari eason but he missed it as he came down the baseline
13:43Obdiah driving kick kamara closeout adam smith shot what a terrific closeout touchdown pass and abued over the top to the receiver tari eason
13:51Who missed the layup again, but he will get three throws that was a dime by durant?
13:57Yeah, and great hustles from houston to get back. Those are probably the three most
14:02hair on fire closeouts from steven adams and it ends up leading to this the kick ahead and
14:08tari eason
14:09Nearly makes that man, but you like that get those ball ahead play fast play play selfless
14:14All right time now for our basketball basics presented by lone star college
14:21As tari misses the free throw you get as we've discussed two hot teams
14:26Playing here tonight the blazers and the rockets have each one five of their last six
14:34In fact, portland has won three straight
14:37See a look at the native portlander eme udokan former rockets assistant tiago splitter who's done a terrific job under some bizarre
14:45Circumstances this season in portland after returning to the nba from a season coaching in paris after leaving houston
14:52the pressure obdiah
14:57They're sharp and he buries it rocket's gonna call a timeout
15:02Coach frustrated you give up an easy look after all that work and wonderful ball pressure so the rockets will talk things over
15:15Got a good one here to start
15:17Rockets the beginning of a three-game road trip
15:20And they trail the blazers by three because of that three
15:32It's orthopedics and you see the best rebounding differential through the first 33 games in the league since 1976
15:41And it's the rockets lapping the field in second place the 94
15:4795 portland trailblazers who are way ahead of the third place 94 95
15:52dallas mavericks and that 94 95 trailblazers team is
15:57Significant why because later that season on valentine's day in 1995
16:00They traded klyde drexler to the houston rockets that season their best rebounders were chris dudley
16:06buck williams otis thorpe later in the season rebounded really well for them
16:10But klyde drexler was a really good rebounder for them to start the season until he ultimately was traded to the rockets
16:15So again another interesting connection between houston and portland and there's a lot of historical connections
16:22Between these two franchises steven adams is hit with the moving screen
16:25a couple great playoff series and rick adelman's coach for both franchises
16:30beautiful moments and that that little 35 pick and roll is money again poor clinging out of the paint
16:39In fairness i thought steven got away with the moving screen the last time that one just got called that's a two
16:44But that was a drastic step back by sharp mcogies in picks up the rebound
16:49i think kevin still surprises people with his length man he can really recover the shots and
16:55Allows them to kind of gap here steven adams diving to the rim laid it up and in
16:59That touch for steven that was nice off the glass yeah clinging was there and again he's huge
17:04He he's way bigger than you are dude and you are huge too
17:07i'm a legit seven feet and he felt three to four inches taller than me yeah he is a monster
17:14at least
17:17Obdiah nice poke check there by akogi ate on the possession for the blazers as clunk capella comes in
17:25again uh no albert shin going out for
17:29at least another week and a half to two weeks after sprinting his ankle a minute into that loss
17:33up in dallas and this is why you go out in free agency and get a
17:39star like clink capella because
17:42these are important minutes and houston needs everything he brings to the table
17:46playing in the game like this rick that one and the rockets are going to miss shangoon obviously
17:50i mean he almost triple doubled against the blazers in that win at toyota center the rockets dropped 140
17:55on them which is the most the rockets have ever scored in a game against the portland trailblazers
18:00offensive rebound the tip by thompson or koge had it gets tied up comes back out to durant at midcourt
18:08tomorrow's a really good defender that's that's a nice screen by capella that is a nice screen but
18:14again that's the money come and set a screen clinton doesn't have the foot speed to get up durant's four
18:21for four
18:21off to a terrific start eight early points rocket six to twelve blazers five of eleven but they've
18:29made three threes the rockets have only taken one three they're sharp
18:34and out of bounds last touched by houston sharp is an explosive athlete
18:39if i'm not mistaken he's got the highest vertical in the entire nba watch the screen this is money all
18:44night sharp isn't up at the level gets cross grain right there and that's about as easy of a layup
18:51as you can get for kevin durant give clink capella the screen assist of course we are a screen assist
18:55show absolutely obvious off the front rim rockets will rip and run here's a koge right at avia there's
19:03the help by kamara blocks it blocked it right to his teammate then gets it back and ignites the blazers the
19:08other way blazers are very comfortable playing in the open floor and again these two teams turn the
19:13ball over more than any two teams in the league here's obvia with a koge all over and turned him over
19:19now the rockets come the other way durant
19:26they're not sure where that ball was going but how about the job
19:31that coach you don't get frustrated because he wants those turnovers to be minimized in a game like
19:35this but josh koki has been excellent on obvious so far gotta acknowledge that man he's got he's had
19:43a knackler when he's beat he can chase and stay connected to you love has been on fire for the
19:49blazers just stepped on the floor and stays hot caleb love the undrafted rookie last day game 17 points
19:57per and shooting lights out and the rockets coughing up again well the guards no clinton is going to be
20:05back so they really fight through screens but repair is excellent on the ball
20:10now ryan repair out there as well again the blazers they've had like five rotation guys out virtually
20:16every game to be kamara well repair is out there yes he is here's obvia that's a moving screen that's
20:23a foul they're going to give it to love
20:27and the rockets get the ball back
20:28first person and speaking of some love let's get some here from mokaram injury lawyers
20:34every team has a leader you can count on call 281-222-2222
20:41thompson and smith jr out shepard and dorian finney smith in
20:51reed shepard jumps it back to clint goes right at the body oh and he just stopped it dick wingen
20:58he tried to get him off of him but he couldn't no clinton is huge repair
21:05tapped ahead by shepard and these are always fun matchups man that was a fun one in houston
21:12earlier as you mentioned but you see how quickly this pace can go
21:17tapped in clink capella off durant's first miss of the game rain sleep is snow capella is hitting the glass
21:24and speaking of terrific offensive rebound yes what capella's been just at his entire career well
21:31for a minute he's actually better than steven if you can believe that here's obvious spinning
21:35on reed to the rim oh there's clink capella denies him at the cup another big time block
21:40a collision that went off of duran's hip they're gonna call capella with the hip check on kamara
21:55and an offensive foul now it ultimately did go off of duran it's tough there's a lot going on there but
22:01look at clink capella the play earlier goes upstairs with his length and locks obvia a hand a part of
22:08the ball for some people who may be wondering but he's got a monster wingspan man allows him to get
22:13to those rebounds and block shots so long as the ball is still on the hand absolutely
22:20again look at josh akogi just hounding obvia and hey you got some double big action yeah young
22:26hansen's come in as has the time lord he missed the alley-oop there okay of course there's so many
22:33sinners here tiago spinners like i'll play some of them together how about that this blazers team is
22:38big they got some big dudes yeah two on durant now to rocogie i remember i was in minnesota
22:45they just kept drafting point guards and here importantly they're just getting sinners
22:49and here we go obvia bumped and fouled by penny smith he's tough man he's got some craft to him some
22:59wiggle big shoulders man and he loves to get downhill he's he's relentless he leads the league in minutes
23:05played he's had to because nobody else for portland has been healthy this season now take advantage of
23:10tonight's rocket shop online item of the game you get a men's houston rockets t-shirt for just 25 bucks
23:16shot now at rocket shop dot com so obvia to the free throw line he's one of only three players in the
23:25league to average more than 25 points seven rebounds and seven assists the other two are luca and
23:32the joker that's a pretty good company no it is he's made an impact everyone he's played against
23:39his and respect for what he brings to the table good minutes there from josh and clint
23:43obvia leads the league in free throws made he's already made two tonight he's up to 290 makes at the line
23:54this season get amongst the league leaders and assist and points he's had an incredible season
24:03they stole him from washington yeah well if everything goes as well it looks like
24:09trey young will be there so that works out again not official yet we're just throwing it out there
24:16durant
24:18that's what to the line correct that's where kevin's so good he's such a veteran
24:23when he sees you out of place there's that moment of indecision he knows how to draw free throws and
24:28that's what a professional score does man his
24:31intellect his basketball intellect it is off the charts
24:35so young hongson with the foul durant will shoot two and now a message from reliance
24:44reliant official energy provider of the houston rockets
24:48so durant makes
24:50the free throw man thompson going to come back in young hongson had just picked up the
24:54foul for the blazers the rookie out of china
24:57was the
25:01was traded to portland for cedric coward who's been terrific for the grizzlies
25:06yeah but hongson the third highest chinese player ever drafted behind yao and
25:11yi jian lian he was tearing up the draft process and he was getting comps to al french him going with
25:16this passing and some fight marker when i watched that guy playing the summer league
25:19i was like oh he got a little bit of he might have a lot of alp in his game and that's what they
25:25saw in him everybody was shocked that the blazers traded for him when they did but i do think he's
25:31got a he's got a bright future i'd also think we have a timeout which we will take right now
25:38right after kevin durant's buzzer beater against the suns the entire bench was going crazy but check
25:44out assistant coach royale ivy he just stood there and took in the greatness of his friend of 20 years
25:49durant's business partner rich climbing posted the screenshot on instagram as did durant himself
25:55so i asked royale about it today at shoot around he said that was me genuinely in awe he said you
26:00never get used to the things kevin can do he also said look that's my youngin i've known kevin since
26:04he was 17. he's 37 now witnessing these things from him never gets old that's greatness craig and ryan
26:12ivy and kd of course met when katie was taking his visit to the university of texas two decades ago
26:18and friends ever since and big reason why kevin duran has been so happy in his time in houston
26:28genuinely happy yeah teammates also royales veteran in okc he's coming in as the common force with those
26:35young thunder royale good dude too really good people best beloved and future head coach
26:45a little zone look and i like that from email i always like to bring it out because you just blow
26:50up the opposing team's play oh a lot of time too much time apparently for finney smith on that shot
26:57here's love will race the other direction but the rockets get four guys back
27:03so mixing things up a little bit sharp over jabari look at this defensive group on the floor for houston
27:10you got steven oh wow okay i thought steven touched it but uh and i thought a men should
27:15have kept going for the ball rockets uh are still going to have it though they say that robert williams
27:19was the last to touch it now you check in with reed let's see how this group produces offense without
27:28kevin on the floor so you're going to lean on a men and reed to create offense and craig i thought
27:33we didn't talk about this i thought a men thompson played one of his finest games against venice he had
27:38phoenix he had the ball in his hands he made great decisions he was aggressive from start to finish and
27:43how about that left from steven he's putting on quite a show right yeah nice touch he had a right hand
27:49finish and a left he is also ambidextrous tomorrow the southpaw makes the three and he keeps developing
27:58that three-point shot with his defense man he's already a five player but the future even brighter
28:0535 from three this season 36 for his career
28:13lasers have a a lot of talent hurt they're shepherd off the adam street although as he drive leaner
28:19short everything but the mate there that's good accident these huge fives out there make them have
28:24to guard a kick and roll sharp crossover thompson knocked it out of his hands otherwise he was going
28:29to try to rip the rim off you're right craig and attention to detail you saw
28:35all the rockets sprint over there because he took those two power dribbles in
28:41you know the nba now ranks like they give dunks dunk scores i think every year he's got some of the
28:46highest it's unbelievable yeah that monster went over the great russell westbrook
28:52i mean he is such a high flyer so explosive and then just threw it away though to steven adams who's
28:58just been terrific at both ends of the floor the extra pass thompson to adams two bigs missed the shot
29:07trying to split that that big double team of williams and honson yeah he's smothered
29:12all the way back out to the rookie they love him here in portland absolutely a fan favorite man a rare
29:26made three for him but a three nevertheless and the blazers are up four and they have to be the two
29:31tallest digs in the league man i can't think of a team with more height shepherd off to finney
29:36smith handoff misses right back to him another chance another miss and then steven adams got pushed
29:47surprise inside for
29:54steven's got all the tricks man that's how i played against steven he's got all the tricks man
29:57he's just working the rookie over inside
30:00second foul on young honson he's saying he held me steven probably did but he's smart enough to get
30:07away with it
30:10that was just his fourth made three by the way all season long now rockets fans catch january games
30:16that you can't miss celebrate culture and community all month long with special nights like nigerian
30:22heritage night and faith and family night make it a holiday gift they'll never forget secure your
30:26seats now rockets.com i know that in years past uh nigerian heritage night has been a big time seller oh
30:32monster hit i mean filled up
30:36had some big hitters in the building last time agumite was there
30:46steven has been struggling
30:49a lot as of late at the free go out after a hot start
30:52it goes one for two on that trip
31:00finney smith battling with yang gets switched up one-on-one with sharp in space
31:04there's the help by thompson
31:07sissoko had to that's a shot clock violation that's really really good defense in the ball pressure
31:13that's what you want to see
31:14both teams are eight of 23 from the field coach going with the offensive sub here
31:24with six reading and in durant spacing and
31:28iso action let's see if kevin's got some juice left in from his last game i'm sure there's plenty of
31:35it's yeah you're right it's david durant somebody but somebody has to inbound the ball and that will
31:40somebody will be a man thompson
31:44you got kamara glued to him durant oh threw it back out of deflected
31:50sharp will drive sharp threw it up missed it followed like kamara came to label not count
32:00so some of those turnovers in that first quarter
32:03have kind of hurt the rockets right six of them in that first period durant though with a hot
32:08offensive start adams with the block of the century and the blazers lead by three after 12.
32:19all in all the time presented by daily and black we talked about this
32:23in the open we do have the two best offensive rebounders in the league on the floor tonight
32:29clinging almost five per game stephen adams just behind him
32:33we got a heavyweight matchup in the middle and stephen adams has been fantastic so far in this ball game just
32:43fantastic yeah on both sides you know protecting the rim setting screens and nice finishes with both hands
32:54little sea action there
32:55great shepherd makes the jay off that adams screen and handoff i love that ato because steven's a great
33:05passer and you know a bone-crushing screen is going to be coming
33:11oddy off that williams pick the young hansen back across the sissoko to williams back up top to avdia
33:20rockets jump that good ball moving though by the blazers and another terrific closeout by steven adams
33:27and he got a piece of it yeah i thought he did get a piece of it he absolutely did and here's the
33:32thing you can help a little more you know force the rest of the blazers to hit those threes just make
33:36sure you close out in and out
33:39rockets still looking for their first three of the game they're 0 for six those are the plays that
33:49probably drive coach splitter crazy well again he went around the back to uh coach udoka
33:57well um really happy for him these are the two teams that turn it over more than anybody the
34:02really the rockets 29th and the blazers dead last a bit of a crazy start to his head coaching career
34:10but i got a feeling he's going to be doing that for a very long time blazers sitting in the zone
34:14rockets find tari eason the quarter three is up and bounces in first made three for the rockets and
34:20houston regains the lead shooters bounce from tari eason he's dipped below 50 percent on the season
34:27from three but still the nba's best oh obvious jill williams yeah steven got him on the hand got him
34:34on the wrist and or arm it was a little bit of a late whistle but that's the right call well williams
34:40is a quick jumper man he has that quick twitch and long arms so now robert williams his only issue is
34:47that he's dealt with a lot of injuries he's got talent rockets fans 2026 nba all-star voting is live

35:18we'll get him back soon
35:30shepherd launches and makes that nobody stepped up again run action off these bigs it's a lot of teams
35:37switch and portland confused on staying home or not it's got terrific chemistry with steven adams
35:44coming off all those screens yeah the stash bros
35:49and the miss and the steal for tari then loses it right back to portland
35:54here's the big guy oh wildly throws it to sharpen a quarter and pulls back for three
36:01those are the opportunities you want to convert
36:05that's where houston looked like they were cleaning things up that was part of the struggles
36:10early in the season you know you get a turnover you got to convert houston one of the
36:15last teams in the leagues that doing that and here's a zone here from the blazers
36:23this looks like a matchup two three
36:28and sorry pushes it through those hands are incredible man he's losing the ball going up and he
36:34popped it back halfway and pushed it in
36:37tar's got eight he's used his second leading scorer only behind durant's 10.
36:43obvi has got 10 for the blazers and gets it stripped by reed shepherd but they're going to call
36:48a foul top 10 of the league it steals maybe suffering shepherd and houston thinks about challenging i don't know
36:54if it was i think that was reed certainly thought it was clean
36:58but obvi back to the line here he's three for three so far again same two teams here in this barn
37:08on friday night and here's the thing craig we talked about it houston doing a great job without
37:14durant on the floor maintaining this lead so he makes the first we wait the second josh
37:20akogi coming in and now a word from standard insurance higher of high prices standards have
37:26been saving texans money for over 70 years call come by or click us standard insurance dot net don't
37:31delay call standard today
37:35durant coming back in thompson and javari smith jr getting arrests of course this is as close as
37:40kevin durant gets in the league now since beginning his career in seattle and
37:44and hopefully maybe the sonics in the not not too distant future we'll be back there everywhere we
37:50go we and even in houston we see some folks wearing kevin durant's sonics jersey there's some good times
37:57man and i and i got i think one or two seattle shirts wow that was from seattle adams they're working
38:05back around atari's an offensive rebound kick out three but another miss
38:15if seattle comes back into the league ryan we're gonna go catch fish yeah okay i'm in nice
38:21obdia nice pass and then the locker robert williams that's where everybody's gonna wow obdia
38:27man he's such a willing passer and you got you gotta worry so much about his ability to get to the rim
38:35that defenders kind of come off that big there and he just can hit him with passes just like that he's
38:41puts a lot of pressure on opposing defenses
38:45the industry that's pretty back out to torrice and he has a clean look at it good closeout though
38:50like kamara picked up by young hansen and reached shepard he threw it right to him that got deflected
38:57torrice and one-on-one with the time lord thought otherwise pulls it back out the rockets will set it up
39:02that's a very wise decision
39:06shepherd loses sharp and a foul that pick and roll again it's money he may knows it and houston is
39:14looking for it putting hansen in those pick and rolls and guards are getting those pull-up jumpers
39:20he makes relentless man if you got a weakness he's looking to expose it sharps got two shepherd will
39:27shoot two quick capella gonna pick up steven adams here in just a moment
39:33the rockets have gotten good minutes from both steven and clinton in this first half
39:42the rockets offense has kind of sputtered here a little bit as of late
39:55first time this season where they've been below 110 in consecutive games now the good news is that
40:00defensively they've tightened up as well they're only giving up 103 over the last half dozen
40:05look at josh a coach just smothering denny
40:13that's what he does they get switched up there shepherd
40:18shot clock is inside of five obvia picked up this dribble young hansen ripped to three durant will rip and
40:26run pulls up at the foul line bounces off tar eason battling got the board but it's going to be called
40:33for an offensive foul you like the hustle you're never gonna mind an early mid-range jumper from
40:40kevin durant that's a good look unfortunately it wasn't it was a foul but look at houston
40:47looking to wear down obdia he is getting pressured full court and oh my goodness i'm sure
40:52he can't stand josh akogi right now look at akogi again the switch now akogi blanketing love
41:00shepard fronting obdia shepard yeah i gotta call for a foul he got a little too physical that's okay
41:06but i like it how about that physical great job reed shepard getting physical picking up getting into
41:12the jersey and using his you know his lack of size to his advantage even though they call that foul
41:19they're not always going to be blowing that whistle want to want to give a shout out here to hayes and
41:22josh falkenberry rockets fans in colorado hey they're watching us here tonight yeah every time we come to
41:28portland seems like a rockets fan here wants to gives us some names to give a shout out to i think
41:33that's like three years in a row i like it i like the tradition absolutely
41:39eason oh just blew right by love that is pretty and you saw that the attention to kevin durant nobody
41:46was going to leave durant and eason takes advantage just playing basketball push on 10 kamara jumps
41:51it into williams comes back out to love
41:56i'm sure tiago loves that stroke
42:01blazer's regained the lead again they've had the decisive edge in this game from three they've made
42:06six more of them than the rockets that's a bad pass intercepted by williams
42:11love will race the other way he finds obvia pulls back in the corner
42:15high going for the rebound kamara flipped it up and in those are the plays you gotta win you can't let
42:22this group out hustle you i'm telling you both these rosters start to look more and more similar just
42:29a lot of length now in portland and they don't even have uh grant playing top two teams and second chance
42:36points rockets will call a timeout here almost halfway through the second
42:45the tari isn't one of the rockets leading scorers he and durant with 10 but the blazers have gone on a
42:50nine to three run to take this three-point lead we will be right back now bring shangun pre-game he
42:56said there's still no exact timetable but he's getting better he's had nice workouts ime said the
43:01swelling and pain have gone down for alfi and he said we think we could get him back a
43:06little sooner than we hoped said it could be about a week or so away from alfi returning guys that
43:13is good news great news what do you say he's made out of rubber a cartilage cartilage he's very
43:21flexible like a shark like a shark no bones yeah to be young and obviously houston's going to take
43:28their time make sure that he heals up fully but a nine to three blazers run
43:40durant circling stepping back off balance and rebound thompson tapped it to jabari terrific hustle
43:49kevin's now missed his last three shots after starting four for four
43:52hope check repair thompson got it back and put it in the hole
44:02man's got great touching she's got to keep remaining physical you know don't let anybody off the hook
44:10rockets one of the best paint scoring teams in the league because they got two of the best guys scoring in
44:14the paint and alprin shingu to the men thompson who comes down with a rebound this could be a great game
44:20where a man can watch abdia you know he's another guy that puts a lot of pressure on you in the paint
44:25and similar play styles
44:31and then relentless getting downhill and up here right now one of the league's best man he's taking
44:36in strides rockets now two of 12 from three horland takes a lot of threes they've already taken 41 of them
44:54wow like he has been on fire for them in a time they needed him to be because again they've suffered so
45:02many injuries yeah playing on a two-way deal man an undrafted guy flinging turns back shepherd and again
45:10as i mentioned earlier love has been hot
45:14it's not even valentine's day yet nope not yet durant rises up misses capella with a rebound
45:21comes back out to him the three good that's what you'd love to see the highest percentage look you're
45:28going to have off an offensive rebound get it to one of the best to ever do it and the activity
45:33inside for clint capella how about you talked about it the other day the center position for houston
45:38with shingu now getting great minutes between uh big steve that's a foul from behind and i think
45:44capella had his best game of the season in dallas yes when when shingu went down and capella
45:50seems to be in his best rhythm over the last couple three games that he's been in this season
45:56in fairness he's used to starting you know this is this is different for him not to make excuses but
46:01you know consistent minutes he knows he's going to play he has played better
46:05and especially in a game like tonight where you know there's some some big fellas out there he can
46:09match up with so jabari picks up the foul two shot foul houston let's get excited let's stay excited well
46:20because the rockets and why because they dropped their second stomach collection you don't want to miss it
46:24grab your gear in the team store online to rocket shop dot com
46:35i do think like three years in a row we've been here rockets fans have handed me a note saying hey
46:40can you give a shout out to somebody like yeah let's do it it's the more the merrier man and i love that
46:45when we're traveling we're just seeing so many houston rockets fans and you got a lot of fans too craig
46:53they light up when they see you man they do they do man and the people they do i will admit that
46:58jabari runs it up but rimmed it short again here come the blazers the outlet look at obdia wow that
47:04was quick for portland one end of the other he's so strong and he takes up the gap he takes up the
47:09space that's tough for a defender because you have to beat him to spots obvious started very slow in
47:14houston ended up with a double double was great great in the second half but he has started hot here
47:18he already has 16 points in and out
47:27this matches the biggest lead for either team in this game obdia over the shoulder no good here
47:33comes a man thompson rockets have numbers back to him and he throws it oh my goodness some it's a
47:40pretty good english and body control there by a man thompson body control is right
47:43that's what you don't want to see man once he gets those two feet planted you're rather
48:01restricted it is hard to stop sharp
48:03durant to jabari no
48:14again obdia coast to coast bumped and fouled by a man thompson just so aggressive i mean he's got those
48:21long strides he's quicker than you think and if you back up he's going to take up this last so aggressive
48:26timeout on the floor 243 to play in the first half and as we head to break we'll check it down with kevin
48:31and kevin who are hanging out in the world famous rooms to go lounge

49:42from the show so good can we hear did i do that can we hear from yeah you got to do the nasal like i
49:47did i'm not very good at that we'll leave it we'll leave that up to vanessa but it's nice to have him
49:52in attendance yes steven adams back tap durant knocked down by camaro and we got camaro just shadowing
50:05durant deservedly so they're there when a defender right there parlor with their biggest lead here the
50:12run is now 15 to 7 for them over the last houston four minutes manufacture some offense and you see
50:17kamara doesn't mind hey he gets a chance to be physical durant he's going to take it
50:26and if you're houston like steven knows that he's going to try to screen kamara as much as he can to
50:31get him off durant there you go freedom up kevin waited too long he was open maybe he didn't realize
50:43how open he was love lobbed it all bad playing and threw it down it's huge playing it is huge but again
50:52houston's got to get some offense right now they have gone cold ice cold biggest lead eight now for the
50:59blazers the runner thompson bounces down ending it's now 17 to nine with that bucket the overall run for
51:06the blazers right now that's great action either getting layups or pull-ups for steve-o
51:15good defense by thompson all right now go but the blazers get back
51:23they whip it to durant doesn't take to three that has it knocked away the quick outlet to short
51:29and he got it plus the foul on thompson stepping through him for the hoop and harm yeah it looked
51:35like a man got caught in between fouling and getting out of the way got two big-time athletes
51:43here on the break look at shark going and the men just again in no man's land but a tough cover
51:50nonetheless that's the second off thompson and that's where houston's got to be better when
51:57they're in transition you get numbers the spacing's got to be better and they got to finish better when
52:02they do get opportunities because again the blazers have turned it over sharp averaging just under 22 a
52:08game he leads the nba in points per game among players averaging under 30 minutes per game he's averaging
52:13just under that at 29.4 on the season durant that time some separation with he and kamara but look how
52:25far back claim it is so again stay with those looks yeah playing in that super deep drop blocked by toe
52:32and a foul that's going to be the third on event thompson
52:35but again now houston's got to find a way to get stops though eme adobe has just been teed up this
52:44is hometown you can't tee up that man in his hometown
52:49he's got friends and family here
53:00and he's got to be careful that he doesn't pick up that second and get tossed
53:05and he's got to be careful now he's he's moved on to jt or
53:13the initial conversation was with the crew chief brian forte
53:17let's see here so sharp makes the contact
53:26does he get him i think he gets him on the elbow here yeah yeah all the way up yeah let's get him on the elbow
53:35and for houston offensively get you know be better it's tough when you're playing on your hills and
53:42because they struggle to shoot the basketball in this little stretch they've been on their hills and
53:46well portland's been comfortable offensively yeah both teams have won five of six
53:51yeah man the blazers are similar with their length and when a team that plays big oh no
54:02and again terrific offensive rebounding team they'll get another chance off of the
54:08empty trip here's love spinning kicking flinging got it his second wow
54:14he did not shoot that shot in college i talked to him before the game he said he only hit two in
54:20college i don't know if coach hurley was going for he's been hot from three man for like the last month
54:26and parlance opened it up they're up 11. rockets offense really struggling and durant will get three
54:33throws rockets are only shooting 38 percent they've missed 12 of their 15 threes
54:39the blazers have gone to the free throw line more times than them now the blazers draw a ton of
54:44fouls rockets don't foul very often the blazers do draw a ton and they've won that battle as well
54:49as durant will go to the free throw line he's got 15 and counting now the 24th annual rockets run

55:28rockets get the rebound though rear miss but an opportunity here to
55:32to match what the blazers just did on the other side rockets shoot 42 percent in this quarter the
55:39blazers darn near at 60 percent eason okogi's open missed it though man they're really struggling for
55:46three well they're just kind of trapping durant and staying home with him out of the zone final
55:50shot for the blazers adams picks up obdia runs it up almost hit it that's the end of the first half
55:58that almost went down the rockets offense in the last five minutes of that second quarter not great
56:09and they're down by double digits here at halftime and now royal ivy standing by with vanessa richardson
56:15coach ivy the blazers able to put together a good run there what do you need to see
56:19at the start of the second half we gotta stop fouling on we put the ivy on the line he's fourth in the nba
56:24and free throws attempt so he's got 10 free throws already that's that's diabolical right now we got
56:29to be more focused more locked in two teams with a lot of length of course kind of similarly built
56:35what do you need to see offensively to get that offensive flow going to have more flow more more
56:39movement we're too stagnant they're playing the zone they're hitting off for katie we got to move the
56:44ball hit some threes they they got 10 threes right now we got two or three we got to be better second
56:51thanks coach thank you rockets fans make sure you stay tuned for rockets halftime you got kevin
56:56eschenfelder and the hall of famer calvin murphy but for now i'll send it back to craig all right
57:00thank you very much to vanessa and to royal ivy again coming up on the lexus halftime report with
57:04kevin and calvin they'll talk about kevin duran and torrey eason bringing some injury some energy
57:10but the rockets need to find some offense actress makers the rocket to the open floor
57:14the drop back to thompson with some english on that finger roll riot yeah that was a tough finish man
57:21kind of a blown pass there but a min thompson just again just goes up through contact grown man finish
57:27welcome back to portland everybody craig ackerman ryan holland's with you the first of two games
57:31between these two teams here in this building last wasn't a lot of offense in general in that first
57:37half but for the rockets they really sputtered the last five minutes and as royal ivy mentioned
57:41three-point shooting basically the difference in this game so far yeah absolutely in that defense it
57:46used to excuse me the portland went to a bit of a zone and it threw it off because
57:50they're giving more attention to durant and kind of match it up out of it so for houston find a way
57:54to attack that zone get out in transition you got to have better spacing when you run and you should
58:00have a better a great shot to win this game in the second half but you got to finish those opportunities
58:04those are your power players presented by xfinity and it's not just the threes you got to get into
58:12rhythm set your team up teammate up well and hats off to kamar man he's giving kevin durant some fits
58:19here he started off hot but he's slowed down since rockets are plus 11 and second chance points again
58:24the top two teams in the league when it comes to second chance points two really good rebounding
58:29teams jabari still looking for his first make
58:42obvious spinning on thompson
58:43rockets are a plus nine on the glass that's in their favor but again just three main threes for them
58:54six more for the blazers they've made nine durant trying to get one back for houston can't
59:00got to find ways to get kamara off of durant maybe kevin needs to be a screen center just
59:06you got to play the game there sharp for the foul line
59:12they're not exactly shooting it great either at 41 but the rockets are at 36.
59:18coach udoku would like to see the ball move and the pace he sped up a little bit so you can get
59:23multiple actions to get multiple looks durand that's able to get kamar off of him
59:28rimmed it down here's the thing what a great night kevin you're you're going to contain him on for only so
59:33long so let's keep an eye on that 18 for durand
59:44got to watch out for clinging's made a couple of threes i mean i have respect for his shooting
59:49but he shoots even better than i thought good job by jabari just took it away from obdia
59:55and then we got a technical foul tiago split
