00:00The Celtics played last night in Denver, took down the Nuggets big time.
00:04124-105, so both of these teams were in action last night.
00:09He's the other all-star in that sort of dynamic duo that the Celtics have going offensively.
00:15He put up 30, as that is going to be an and one.
00:19There's playing through the contact.
00:21And in 40 seconds in, lots of action.
00:24That Boston offense says Tatum's three is good, and it's a 10-0 start for Boston.
00:30In place of Robert Williams, as Wiggins passes up the threes, then wants to drive,
00:38and there's the first basket for Oklahoma City, and it comes from the rookie.
00:42Grant Williams, good closeout by Wiggins.
00:44And good defense by Robey on Jake's Tatum.
00:47And almost comes up with a steal.
00:50It's Warford again with an assist.
00:55As Mann will drive down the lane, hung in the air long enough.
00:58Baisley, another offensive rebound.
01:00His putback is good.
01:03Shea stops right at the elbow.
01:05He's looking to distribute outside.
01:07Train man had the feet set as he bottoms the three.
01:10Ball went in and came out.
01:14And another cut, and it's Williams getting the and one.
01:17So Grant Williams has had multiple buckets now, Michael, in that restricted area.
01:22Probably got a piece to deny the dunk.
01:25Oh, but the pass from Wiggins, intercepted by Brown, and that'll be an easy jam for the Celtics.
01:31And Jalen Brown's got his second bucket.
01:35Shea, once again, and a little up and under.
01:38You know, he's just going to keep coming at you.
01:40Fourth best offensive rating, and the best record since January 23rd of 20-4.
01:49We see Shea beating it on that possession.
01:52And a handful of games of late, including the game last night against the Orlando Magic.
01:55Pritchard trying to get behind the tape.
01:56Steps back and buries another three.
01:59Peyton Pritchard's got his second as he's been feeling it of late.
02:03With under a minute to go here in the first.
02:08Outside to Pritchard.
02:09Off the bench, he's got three threes.
02:12Plenty of time for Shea.
02:14Crosses the timeline.
02:15Stops on a dime, white slips, and Shea knocks it down.
02:21That is just unfair offense.
02:24Took a peek and out.
02:25Now keep in mind, Kendrick Perkins was part of, what, that 2003 draft?
02:29Do you know what players was in that 2003 draft?
02:32Was loaded, my man.
02:33Do you want me to?
02:35As Pokashevsky racing ahead.
02:37Good by Williams.
02:38Oh, what a move.
02:39Pokashevsky going end-to-end.
02:40And then the sweet finish with the left hand.
02:43They're doing a good job of just speeding the game up while slowing the Celtics down on offense.
02:51Tatum now goes outside.
02:55See what Tatum does here.
02:56This is a fun matchup.
02:57Tatum on Bazley.
02:58Bazley closed the gap with the contest.
03:00And Tatum still got it up over Bazley's arm.
03:07Boston makes you work for the offense.
03:09Brown in the mid-range.
03:10Shalen Brown into double digits.
03:12He's got 11.
03:13Just getting familiar with this level.
03:16And playing defense.
03:17And the assignments is Trey Mann steps into the three and knocks it down.
03:23Brown on the floor as the Celtics stagger the two stars.
03:28Brown going to work.
03:29Oh, he just put his head down and found a way to the rim.
03:32Just met a 15-year veteran in Al Horford.
03:35Pritchard trying to race up the floor.
03:38And his pass taken away by Krejci.
03:41Now Krejci on the other end.
03:42Finds a man.
03:43It's Trey Mann in the corner.
03:44And a three.
03:45Rattles in.
03:46Almost like Groundhog Day.
03:48Don't remind him.
03:49That's not fair, Michael.
03:50Don't remind him.
03:50Okay, I'll just leave it where it's at.
03:54And what a nice drive by Pritchard.
03:56Boy, Pritchard off the bench.
03:57A factor here for the Celtics.
04:02Trey Mann wants more and got more.
04:06Okay, I'm not going to say anything.
04:07An FTX Arena in Miami with that eruption in the second quarter.
04:11Mann, a little more.
04:13Yes.
04:18SGA is back in the game.
04:19And the Thunder leaned into that deficit quite a bit.
04:23Shea's drive comes up short.
04:24Thunder trying to get back.
04:25Tatum goes at Mann and pulls his way to the rim.
04:30You feel moments like that, Michael.
04:32And here he is again.
04:33He's got Horford on him.
04:34Stops goes in.
04:35Puts up the shot.
04:36And he got the bounce.
04:39Three different defenders on him already in this second quarter.
04:4320 already for Mann.
04:44Tatum spins his way right to the cup.
04:46Boy, Jason Tatum.
04:47That's why he's such a good defender.
04:49His reputation coming out of college now.
04:52Lowers his head.
04:53Found a little space.
04:56The Celtics once again pushing right back.
05:00And trying to fork any comeback.
05:01As Trey Mann way behind the arc.
05:04It's not a problem from three.
05:06A lot of contact on there too.
05:08As White is trying to slow him down.
05:11Underspread it out.
05:12There is Mann on the drive.
05:14High off the glass.
05:15Plus the foul.
05:17And then kick out to open shooters.
05:19I thought Peyton Pritchard was a benefactor of that in that first half for the Celtics when he came into the ball game.
05:25As Shea gets the friendly bounce.
05:28Here.
05:29Good job to force a Derek White to shoot mid-range shots.
05:33He's a three-point shooter.
05:34As Shea shows you.
05:36He's also a three-point shooter.
05:38See what Mann has in store.
05:39Those 26 points in the first half.
05:42But here's Shea.
05:43Going right to the rim.
05:44And then he elevates for the two-handed stuff.
05:47His first miss from three-point land on the night.
05:51Tatum and Baisley.
05:53And Tatum.
05:53Nice move.
05:55Driving to the baseline.
05:57Baisley spins away from White.
05:59Right hand.
06:00Banked at home.
06:01Nice move.
06:02That's great.
06:02I'm just saying, man.
06:04That's nasty.
06:05That rim consistently.
06:09Right.
06:09Horford just lurking there.
06:11Anticipating that entry pass.
06:13Mann the only one there.
06:14And it leads to Williams.
06:16And the finger roll.
06:17Ever quite got that up to the rim.
06:18Here is Baisley.
06:19Good defense by Wiggins.
06:21Just to get his body in front of him.
06:23And Baisley seems to be so comfortable when he gets around the rim finishing with the
06:28offhand.
06:31Shea battling with Tatum.
06:33And he spins his way through a potential double team.
06:36And Tatum.
06:36Coach looking at the Jumbotron.
06:39But not enough time.
06:40And it leads to a corner three from Tatum.
06:43Who's now got 27.
06:44The former Duke Blue Devil.
06:48Before being drafted third overall in 2017.
06:51Shea.
06:54And he's sized up Williams.
06:57He's missed his last two shots as well.
06:59The Celtics have missed their last three attempts.
07:02Oh, nice little pick and roll that time by Pokaszewski.
07:05The guys who drive hard with the basketball finder teammates.
07:09Oh, the Celtics just launching away.
07:13Another three.
07:14Jalen Brown.
07:151988.
07:16So they're doing some really special stuff.
07:18Not only at the league at this time.
07:20But they're doing it in Celtics history.
07:24When Jokic is not on the floor for Denver.
07:27Denver really struggles as Waters steps behind the line and buries a three.
07:32Trey Mann to steal the basketball for Brown.
07:34Nice dig.
07:36Man, see what he does here with Tice on him.
07:39Passes up the three.
07:40Instead, he'll drive and kicks it home.
07:43I thought they're knocking down 14 threes already.
07:45Well, it's getting to 12 threes already.
07:47But they're shooting 46%.
07:49Three, number five on the ninth.
07:55He has just been a problem.
07:57How about Trey Mann again off the deck.
07:58Too much speed as he blows by Tice.
08:01It's 21 points right now, folks, for Trey Mann.
08:08And Brown got blocked by Baisley O'Medda at the summit.
08:14Richard just keeps chucking from downtown.
08:16Oh, the Thunder had the rebound, but Maladon dribbled it off of Waters.
08:20And so Tice got inside.
08:22Thunder want to run some offense on this possession.
08:25Man.
08:27Little turn and burn again.
08:29High off the glass.
08:30Williams, no contest.
08:34There's a couple of former teammates right there.
08:37And Shea gets the best of it.
08:39Says, look, Mr. Horford, I know you're a good, tough defender around the basket.
08:43Look at the guy with his career high, 33 from Trey Mann.
08:45How about Mokashevsky with his season high of 19.
08:49There's another three from the outside.
08:53Michael been really limited.
08:56Oh, Shea attacks.
08:57Got right to the cup.
08:58Scores on the scoop.
09:02Shea behind his back.
09:04Trying to go to work on Horford.
09:06Got mid-post.
09:08Shea now with 31.
09:0938-point first quarter that the Celtics had.
09:14There's a turnover.
09:15That's what the Thunder wanted.
09:17Trying to get it outside to Mann.
09:18Mann attacks left hand.
09:20Right at Horford.
09:20Scores off the glass with 55 seconds.
09:23From downtown for the Celtics.
09:2515 makes for the Thunder.
09:28Well-played ball game.
09:30Well-coached by Mark Dagenau.
09:32As they made the Celtics.
09:39Yes.
