00:05:29That's it.
00:05:31They are going to have to take this apart to now jar it back in place.
00:05:36This is high level NBA action that you never see.
00:05:41I get very excited for wedges, for sitters, for spillage.
00:05:47We have reached a different level of game delay.
00:05:50I've never seen one go this far.
00:05:53митч johnson just hoping they've got a larger wrench to now disassemble
00:06:01a beautiful basket meanwhile the rockets have started warming up again on their own
00:06:06side of the court just to stay warm everybody not named kevin duran and jeff green is out there
00:06:11trying to get shots up alberon shingun josh and kogi these are guys starting meeting with the
00:06:17spurs are on the bench the spurs warm-up uniforms do look phenomenal let's take a
00:06:23look at the wendy dunk earlier this was he went between his legs on a bounce now i'm not sure that
00:06:29that's what did it but he definitely came with a little extra spice and jeremy sohan he's been
00:06:36fascinated that that is not just because he has a massive brain that is actually his hair
00:06:42he's trying to put all of it to good use but they gave him the stiff arm
00:06:46he's going to be maybe meditating in some way david sel will not play tonight
00:06:53just trying to enjoy now the spurs are doing what feels like some kind of biometric work
00:06:59i'll tell you what no i've been a part of the nba in a number of different capacities
00:07:03since 1994 i've never never seen this no but we've seen an uneven ring we have not seen one take this
00:07:10long to fix and to happen directly before the game at this level victor women yama is now doing wind
00:07:18sprints and kevin durant is just enjoying himself he's just taking in on the action
00:07:26seeing whether or not this is going to find its way through what will the solution be maybe
00:07:30questioning life in some ways this looks like maybe some kind of tick tock choreography at the senate
00:07:36they are one of the younger teams in the nba the spurs are going through now they're going through
00:07:41dribbling drills the rockets are just going through a glorified shoot around jeremy sohan just stole
00:07:46one of the basketball from the rockets as if this was a pop-a-shot competition
00:07:52okay level let's see it let's get a good look at the bubble
00:07:58doesn't look good
00:08:01yeah that's gonna solve it fix where the bubble is
00:08:04that's gonna be the difference in whether or not the basket's level
00:08:09right you've got a hand on the rim yeah let's let's just have wemby grab the rim for the whole 48
00:08:14minutes that's not even close it looks worse yeah i think it is worse
00:08:22this was supposed to tip five minutes ago we are five minutes into this delay
00:08:28and we are still not close to having a regulation level goal bismak biambo and jeff green two of the
00:08:37longer tenured veterans i think are discussing along the toyota center logo you ever seen this before
00:08:43no no i haven't seen this i have dinner plans at 10 o'clock i don't know if i'm gonna make it in time
00:08:47are you sure yes i'm going right to the steakhouse you recommend it no way i didn't get a reservation
00:08:54there they gave you one all right i'm gonna talk to you later about it i'll hit you later
00:08:58and kevin durant hasn't moved yeah he hasn't he's conserving energy
00:09:08we're six minutes in
00:09:09the fans are now being treated to an extra dance routine this is always my curiosity is you have
00:09:19to have preparations for extra time out so the dance crew's on the floor how many extra dances
00:09:24do they have they got the t-shirt gun how many extra t-shirts do they have you prepare for a 48
00:09:29minute game you've got to have some preparations for overtime this is a dance that we weren't going to
00:09:34see tonight we weren't going to see that's exposed but the nba is all about in-game entertainment for
00:09:38its fans in the building that's right an opportunity here for the dance crew to really freestyle and let
00:09:45it go freestyle you know it does feel like a freestyle now who's going to get the extra t-shirts
00:09:51they are still working it doesn't feel like there's much progress there's a new rim that's been brought
00:09:56in they are going to have to completely take this rim off and attach a brand new rim
00:10:03brand new iron now the spurs are almost going off the floor victor web and yama interacting with the
00:10:10crowd they're going to go back there's a lot of spurs fans that made the trip to houston they're going
00:10:15to go back and do their warm-ups back towards the locker room the rockets are still shooting around
00:10:20kevin durant has finally gotten up from his seat is he going to take some shots
00:10:33so durant is going to start getting some shots up that's a good sign the other sign is they are going
00:10:42to take this one rim down and attach a brand new rim
00:10:46this is unprecedented truly well for our viewers at home to get a behind the scenes account of
00:10:56of actually these rims and changing the rim how about who's in the building marcus freeman yeah was
00:11:02at the national championship in miami yesterday he made his way here to houston to take in some
00:11:07basketball of course all the notre dame home games right here on nbc marcus has been incredibly
00:11:12gracious with us there all right we think we found the culprit here's stefan castle take a look this
00:11:20was again during all the pre-game festivities goes up lights are dark and he kind of hangs on the rim
00:11:28takes a little extra beat you know what that's almost like a david blaine type of trick because
00:11:34the lights were out so how would anyone know for sure it was him but i mean he's 215 i mean if it
00:11:39was rick mahorn maybe yes bad boy hordes getting some strays sorry sorry rick all right this is
00:11:48this is top tier access as we check in with ashley shambity with an update on everything that's
00:11:56happened well guys first off i talked to fred van fleet on the sideline i said have you ever seen
00:12:00anything like this he goes yes but obviously they fixed it before the game expected to take this long
00:12:05he also said let's play victor because i saw him hanging on the ramp so all the houston rockets are
00:12:09blaming victor and i just heard a coach passing by say look this is going to be a 12 to 15 minute delay
00:12:14we got to get the players back so if everyone exits the court right now that's why 12 to 15 i was
00:12:20about to ask if we could take a break because i've i've been riffing for the last 10 and i enjoy
00:12:25hearing myself talk that's what all broadcasters do but at some point i think everybody at home is
00:12:30going to get tired of what we're saying i feel another envy coming they're getting closer and
00:12:36closer to getting the bubble in the middle and hopefully tip off right after that kia the official
00:12:42automotive partner of the nba 20 minute delay to get the new rim officially attached and ready to go
00:12:49the bubble was right around the middle i would say that kind of looks like after many hours of trying
00:12:56to get the artwork up in my apartment and i finally just say that's good enough it works this is the
00:13:02recap pre-game during the warm-up stefan castle lights off in the building and he says i'm gonna hang
00:13:09a little bit so we're blaming we're blaming castle apparently i've been told castle is to blame okay
00:13:15all right the castle and then olenic tries to come in sohan also tried to grab it and fix it a little bit
00:13:22and then yeah that bubble was way right so they said all right let's get this rim back up
00:13:28they get it attached this was a legitimate process that took 20 minutes kevin durant saying let's play ball
00:13:39let's play ball at least from pg county you know that's right then he knows crooked rims it doesn't
00:13:45matter not a problem not a bro you know what it would have made for a fun first half i can tell
00:13:49you that much either way we are finally ready to go 22 minutes after the initiative now are we sure
00:13:58that it's fixed i didn't see the bubble showing you didn't see the second bubble i didn't see the
00:14:03second bubble yes is it verified i i'm gonna tell you uh the source is trust me bro all right i trust
00:14:10trust me bro it's fixed
00:14:15so we'll see after the first dunk how this new rim holds up for the time being we have the start of
00:14:21our second meeting between the houston rockets and the san antonio spurs it was a classic in the first one
00:14:26early in the season that was back on november 7th nba cup play san antonio came away with a 121 110 win
00:14:34in san antonio all five spurs starters were in double figures include 68 combined points for victor
00:14:40women yama harrison barnes and champagne no devon vassell for the 12th consecutive game for san antonio
00:14:49houston's gonna have to get used to playing without stephen adams for the foreseeable future of the
00:14:54sprained ankle tariason is available to make his return after missing the last five games our
00:14:59officials tonight james williams in year number 16 sean corbin in year number 31 and jenna schroeder
00:15:06in year number seven it'll be shangun and weapon yama and weapon yama with a five plus inch height
00:15:15advantage will jump it up at midcourt
00:15:21an official 23-minute delay is over and we are underway here at toyota center castle at the controls to get
00:15:29us rolling right away josh and koji guarding wimbayama trying to be physical with him getting
00:15:35in his legs and obviously san antonio with the switch castle stepped back has been shooting it much better
00:15:41of late but he ribs out there shangun with a rebound averaging 5.6 points 9.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists
00:15:48per game houston one of the lower volume three-point shooting teams in the nba but they do shoot it well
00:15:53when they get them up we'll see where they go first here's durant coming off an 18-point performance in
00:15:59which he passed dirt novitski on the all-time scoring list and houston will turn it over on their first
00:16:03offensive set and so impressive with shangun and houston and how they use them facilitate a great
00:16:09pass and just couldn't connect on that delivery barnes on the drive can't finish shangun claims a second
00:16:15rebound he can push the break himself barnes tries to step up shangun uses the body double comes bounce
00:16:22inside oh man thompson takes right and that team houston they know when shangun has the ball his eyes are
00:16:29always up bad cuts he will deliver this is fifth season of the nba continuing to grow barnes sticks
00:16:36the corner trick really shot it well in the first matchup with houston as a team san antonio shot the
00:16:44lights out 18 to 45.3 that time the season high and three corners made javari smith coming off a season
00:16:52high 32 points he went 7 of 13 from three in the win over new orleans as the kick will reset the clock to 14.
00:16:57right here just great patience noah reads the defense when banyama comes over to help
00:17:04and just finds thompson right there a little look past but scoring his footwork and passing next level
00:17:13we count that as a no look as he barrels right through and banyama for the deuce and because he is
00:17:18physical strong legs and a low center of gravity shangun able to make a peg
00:17:24there on fox on the curl barnes thought about another one now it's right past shangun got the
00:17:29advantage so when banyama will fling a little too strong long rebound truck down by castle second
00:17:34chance for san antonio open look at champ penny and he's lethal from the outside and san antonio they
00:17:40like the corner three that's part of their offense is obviously a staple in the nba
00:17:45back-to-back corner three from barnes and champinney taking advantage spurs two for five houston just
00:17:52two for two already san antonio three more shot attempts as javari smith a little too strong
00:17:57we signed a rebound to koge and he draws the contact and then one over mount wimby
00:18:04over mount wimby indeed over and around and shangun right here just barrels right in
00:18:11i don't know if wimby was trying to take a charge there he was outside the restricted area
00:18:16and koji that's what you want to do the shot blocker you go right into them into their chest force the
00:18:23initiative and yama off in that battle right now the intensity from the rock is impressive
00:18:31you can feel a palpable buzz in this building and certainly with both of these teams
00:18:36a long-standing rivalry in the nba as champ penny just got rid of it in time
00:18:40wimby nyama with 10 on the clock long strides that's tough good defense by shangun
00:18:47smith in transition will slow it down looking for shangun against wimby nyama back down
00:18:52wimby holds his ground shangun fall away oh that's creative
00:18:59what talent right there going right at the big fella
00:19:02jesus he is not going to be afraid has proven that he's willing to go at the best
00:19:07as wimby nyama cross spin triple team castle loads it up knocks it down on a three
00:19:13great awareness for wimby on the drive two three rockets there to collapse
00:19:19just the presence of mind and of course the height to survey the court to find the open castle yeah must be
00:19:25be nice he's one of the very few that i put the the wingspans down on my chart and women yama has an eight
00:19:34starts with an eight eight foot wingspan that's silky smooth from the outside jabari smith jr
00:19:40as kevin durant said when he starts making shots this offense becomes nearly impossible to guard
00:19:45women yama hangs short try to grab his own miss he does working on kd a lot of contact that he's fouled
00:19:52and now it's quite incredible the size of wimby yama but shingle goes right at him and just able to
00:20:04just get a little bump with the shoulder create a little bit of separation and score with great
00:20:10touch and then wimby one dribble one step from the three-point line and able to just use that length
00:20:18to get that offensive rebound and at the free throw line but he's shooting more in the paint less
00:20:24three-pointers this season which has paid off and allowed him to get to the free throw line
00:20:30where he can score with more efficiency his efficiency overall on the season is remarkable
00:20:35at his size 51.8 field goal percentage 40 percent three-point percentage 84 at the free throw line
00:20:42he missed the 12 games from mid-november to mid-december with the left half strain about 25 minutes just
00:20:48under 25 minutes per game since his return and even on a minute restriction he has been off the charts
00:20:54effective for this team back-to-back 30-point games coming in we talked in the opening about the potential
00:21:01and all the excitement when he entered the league and finding his way
00:21:06victory out how to dominate in this league on both ends and as you said doing it just 25 minutes a game
00:21:12the explosion from thompson with recovery by fox defensively it's going to go to the spurs
00:21:17smart right there with wimby yama guarding shingle late outside the paint trying to attack into the rim
00:21:25just couldn't convert on that play see if the aaron fox can get his offense rolling a little bit he's got 20 assists
00:21:30over the last two games including 12 in the win over minnesota and he got to the rim and had it
00:21:35rejected by thompson one of the most freakishly athletic players in the league showing it off early
00:21:42kevin durant's been quiet the first one up and put it home kd and there's a lot of contact there too but
00:21:51kd how many times have we seen that throughout his career in range barns doesn't have the response all
00:21:57five houston starters have now scored get it ahead taken away by barns shangun that position
00:22:03castle in transition looking to attack on smith and knocked away barns pump drive
00:22:10defensive scrambling castle trying to find the opening elbow j goes down and that pretty much
00:22:17epitomizes san antonio spurs basketball heavy driving kick quick decisions castle in that mid-range games
00:22:27as the first two-point field goal after san antonio went three for six for three
00:22:32to open things up even to the game at 13 to ran off the curve
00:22:36great finish
00:22:41he's been doing it at the highest level for so long castle has it on the outside against the koge
00:22:49now it's fox 12 to shoot pick and pop champagne's not shy that's why right now
00:22:55it's antonio on a meter from three three body stepping up with confidence knocking it down
00:23:03when the spurs make their threes they have been nearly impossible to beat this year
00:23:08they can go to 119 points or more in the last three games up to doing just twice in the prior 10.
00:23:14and a koge draws the contact at that foot inside the line as castle got a little too
00:23:20jumpy on the closeout one point game early going and use a show time to see if his name is going to be
00:23:26called it certainly was first time as an all-star starter another look at the eastern and western
00:23:32conference yannis brunson cunningham maxi and brown yokich donchich gilt just alexander curry
00:23:38and wendy on the western conference side he is just the sixth ever san antonio spur to be a starter
00:23:45as an all-star can you name the other five
00:23:48let's see obviously tim duncan yes david robinson yes hawaii leonard yes uh george gervin the iceman
00:23:56that's correct and obviously wimby i can't think of the last one that would have been alvin robertson
00:24:02oh that's right triple double triple double that's right alvin robertson is the sixth
00:24:10san antonio spur and that one vinyama joins that elite group wow
00:24:14he's back already seven lead changes in this game champagne just needs a slither of space to knock
00:24:23another one through and that triple drive offense on display paint touches leading to open threes
00:24:31almost a turnover there castle picking up full court welcome back for tari eason
00:24:37shangoon's three a little too strong eason on the floor with akogi shangoon smith and duran with
00:24:43champagne barnes castle parker and cornet from san antonio castle trying to force himself inside and
00:24:49a steal for tari eason this is what he does on both ends shuffle pass in transition the open man is duran
00:24:55and that's a triple such a luxury to have eason back and see what he brings defensively
00:25:03and just great awareness from shangoon and finding mr duran dylan harper has played some high-level
00:25:09basketball the last couple games after a few games really struggling finding some more consistency in his
00:25:15rookie season pass inside cornette knocked away trying to get it back off the foot of duran out of bounds
00:25:20and noah you are a shooter so you can understand you see here kevin durant great form but he holds the form
00:25:31hand in the cookie jar admiring his work and that's what you gotta do to knock down those threes
00:25:37i'm playing a high level what does that scott say 3d leave it leave it i tried that it didn't work
00:25:43didn't work for you that wasn't your game i can tell you whose game it is this guy right here julian
00:25:47champagne who set the spurs franchise record in three pointers made in a game with 11 against the knicks
00:25:53on new year's eve he just got fouled by tari eason shooting a three and you know he was asked about this
00:25:57recently why he feels like he gets so many of these calls and he might not be getting this call because
00:26:03eme odoka looks like he's going to challenge the ruling on the floor of a defensive foul so we've
00:26:09got our first green light special of the night and we'll see what our eventual destination is
00:26:14as james williams sean corbin and jenna schroeder will go to the monitor and confer with a replay
00:26:19center in seacaucus check in on tonight's rap king's king of the court rap king's the number
00:26:23one sportsbook for live betting get in on the action download the app and use promo code dunk when you sign up
00:26:34eme udoka and houston unsuccessful here's another look they say a natural drifting movement from julian
00:26:41champagne the foul stands on tari eason and now houston out of challenges the rest of the way
00:26:47eme udoka actually fourth best percentage wise in the nba just dipped a little bit he was at 74
00:26:53percent before that loss 34 and 13 and he was surprised he was trying to get the explanation
00:26:59from james williams there was a little bit of a back and forth after the call yeah and tari
00:27:03eason did everything right on that's what he was trying to say i had to run by him but you said
00:27:07it best as a right-handed shooter as you're running in that direction trying to square your body you're
00:27:13naturally going to kick your foot out the officials got to run champagne now the last nine percent
00:27:19and antonio keldin johnson in there picking up kevin durant full four
00:27:25now he's got the mismatch of the proper double comes smith is open live the closeout
00:27:30and i'll fade and put him off javari smith using the length and as you said earlier javari smith
00:27:36houston at their best when he's aggressive fresh off a 32 point night seven three pointers made a career
00:27:44high so he's got to stay engaged here on the offensive end johnson turns the corner no cornette
00:27:48offensive rebound champagne's gotten hot reload castle eight to shoot fake drive castle and eason stayed
00:27:58with him got a piece up ahead johnson deflects it away numbers if they hurry cornette looking to push
00:28:06good recovery defensively by houston pump johnson drives and finish
00:28:15keldin johnson what an asset off the bench one time starter for san antonio
00:28:21with a 20 plus point for game score but has embraced his role off the bench and comes in right away
00:28:29the show and go shangu can't finish mitch johnson loves what keldin johnson has provided he was his
00:28:35first development player when mitch became a full-time assistant for san antonio and champagne
00:28:41is scorching hot in this opening quarter four four four from the three-point line you're going to have
00:28:46a champagne awareness out there near houston on fire 15 points in this opening corner and shangu
00:28:55playing some bully ball can't finish cornette with the defense tips the rebound of castle off to the races
00:29:00castle on smith castle trying to contort his body couldn't court screw it in
00:29:06numbers the other way if eason hurries shangun right back to him and eason finishes
00:29:12timeout mitch johnson back and forth continues with san antonio's lead down to five
00:29:17to transition shangun missed a little a few chippies at the rim houston trying to stay involved
00:29:31to a ridiculous start he absolutely has and really great awareness from his team recognizing that he's
00:29:38hot from three but what's impressive
00:29:40is he's moving without the basketball making himself available no indecision whatsoever
00:29:48as you said 15 points with three minutes left here in the first quarter setting the tone on the road
00:29:53for the spurs he's shooting 37 percent from three he's going to get another one here first miss of the
00:29:57night as shepherd corrals the rebound immediately off the bench but in his last five games coming in he's
00:30:02shot 14 of 34 from three as thompson pushes one through that is 31 and he started with four straights
00:30:12on the outside stays on the floor with carter bryant luke cornette dierron fox kelton johnson shepherd
00:30:17trying to accept the challenge defensively and fox gets right to the rack and right away fox getting downhill
00:30:24where he is so successful they're taking advantage of reed in the game dorian finish smith too strong
00:30:31on the three quick capella is in there going to get more minutes after falling out of the rotation
00:30:35now with stephen adams out for the next several weeks at least with the ankle sprain cornette handoff
00:30:43fox step away over reed shepherd and he finds nylon fox being aggressive obviously that floater
00:30:51previous play seeing the ball go through feeling confident
00:30:59shepherd they wanted to hunt his shots a lot more on the offensive end play aggressive without
00:31:03fouling on the defensive end decent attacks on champ penny he'll pull pure and that was a good defensive
00:31:10possession right there for san atonio but he's in a tough shot at the mid range
00:31:16fox off a series of screens he'll pull that's good dierron fox starting to cook
00:31:24look indeed giving it to him downtown and obviously dierron fox early in his career a slasher
00:31:30much improved from three at this stage he's got the last eight for san antonio as they force a
00:31:35turnover with eason stepping on the baseline
00:31:37right there dierron fox feeling so good admiring his left hand and i would too the way he is
00:31:49blocked and loaded here gets the mismatch in the grill of eason
00:31:55fox feeling it nine of 17 in the last four game territory's already made two years and that one
00:32:02ricocheted out of bounds
00:32:07aaron fox getting downhill tried to freeze the defense great effort there by reed shepherd getting
00:32:13the box he talked about they pushed and challenged shepard on the defensive end and
00:32:20rolling the game off to inline out of bounds play back cut by bryant
00:32:26he's given great contribution but his fur is off the bench talented 20 year old rookie known for his defense
00:32:31but has shown some problems offensively as shepard rims out on the triple elton johnson get it rolling
00:32:37spurs and push this to an 11 point cushion just under a minute playing the first the shifting is
00:32:42harper had it erased by capella
00:32:47clint capella with a throwback block right there
00:32:51back in houston rim protected we'll see more minutes now as we talked about with stephen adams out but great
00:32:58timing there and that brooks layup attempt
00:33:04tend to shoot box cornette rolling to the rim lou cornette just brought the hammer
00:33:16thompson gets in the paint his jumper goes through
00:33:19how about his play this year obviously no fred van vliet playing as a point guard primary ball handler
00:33:26his scoring has been pretty solid this season brian comes up short eason swipes down the rebound
00:33:32four second different shot clock and game clock and they'll slow it down work for a good one
00:33:41thompson called for the screen he'll get it from shepard with 10
00:33:47thompson on fox
00:33:48trying to shift his way around and knocked away and a steal and then rolls out of bounds last
00:33:54touched by the spurs it'll go back to the rockets with 5.1
00:33:59trying to target dearon fox on that play let
00:34:03and thompson go isolation one-on-one but
00:34:07swiper said no
00:34:08five point one seconds remaining shangun and kevin duran back in the game for this situation
00:34:19i have to imagine one of those two will touch the ball and take the shot on this last play
00:34:23will be easy to get it in
00:34:27trying to get it to duran covered up it's shangun with five
00:34:31shangun makes a move with three trying to give it off he does thompson got it off in time
00:34:36but he just could not squeeze it and houston had a chance but trails by 11 after one
00:34:43and luke cornette right here you have to help on dearon fox because he's been hot the weak side not
00:34:49there and luke cornette making him pay and his teammate approves the connection french vanilla
00:34:58you're watching houston aws nba rivalry presented by kios
00:35:06well tonight on peacock check out peacock performance view a whole new way to watch with real
00:35:10time stats live shot data and player tracking dive deeper into the action of peacock
00:35:1739 28 as you start the second quarter san antonio shot 46 percent from the floor and 8 of 13 from
00:35:23three 10 assists on 13 made field goals houston also had 10 assists on 13 made field goals they go 13 of
00:35:2921 in that first quarter and duran goes down slow to get up he helped up by capella and thompson
00:35:38appears to be all right
00:35:41a little knee to knee kelton johnson trying to be physical there with durant getting his space
00:35:46and you see that contact yes a knee to knee and
00:35:50kevin durant took some time getting up off the floor but
00:35:53it appears to be okay get it in for shepherd right back to kd
00:36:01durant so far three for three seven points a rebound and an assist back down want to bounce to the
00:36:07outside and thompson can't stick the three they're going to just leave thompson make him prove that he
00:36:13can make that shot women yama back on the floor guard on the outside now by capella
00:36:18he'll give the big man the opportunity that is ridiculous he's like a video game come to life
00:36:34crowd is still stunned here at toyota center
00:36:38i'm in disbelief right there i mean there was some physicality on that drive but wimba yama just kept
00:36:44going and just elongates to the rim the length that's against a shot blocker there
00:36:53and clink capella the spurs fan is in disbelief wow it was his first field goal of the game nice
00:37:01pass to the back door cutting shepherd thompson with a fine man but that's what wimba yama's doing
00:37:06more of this season i thought let you know the first few years
00:37:08he's settling for threes now getting to the rim and using that length and talk about getting to the
00:37:14rim harper strength and size one of the best finishing guards getting to the basket in the
00:37:22paint it feels like he can get to the paint anytime he wants anytime shepherd the defense here from bryant
00:37:30shepherd gets right back off the screen trying to bounce oh he finds thompson
00:37:35wimba yama got back and thompson doesn't care i'm not sure how thompson was able to get by
00:37:40wimba yama for the score and right away right back in the paint for dylan harper that's where he thrives
00:37:47in transition coming full speed because daddy a little bit just a tad maybe a little extra gear too
00:37:57durant on the outside on a rip through and it bounced off of a spur out of bounds eight on the shot clock
00:38:05right here shepherd a little no look past thompson goes up great catch great presence of mind comes
00:38:12down goes right back up little contact there able to concentrate with the finish but one of the best
00:38:20back cutters there thompson 100 shot and he can just hit that turbo button and get himself a chance for
00:38:26three a man thompson squeezing through a crevice right here i mean i'm not sure how he was able to get
00:38:36downhill the bump the balance the touch thompson an athlete now this season taking on the role of a
00:38:47primary ball handler which he did a little bit of in high school or ote with decision maker the shooting
00:38:55needs to continue to improve but the effort the defense and the toughness always there
00:39:01talked about not having that guy brett van vliet who tours acl in the offseason just before
00:39:07training camp began was likely out for the season as fox loses the handover and scoops it up in transition
00:39:14but odoka said that the jump as ball handlers from thompson and reed shepherd was always going to be
00:39:19the biggest necessity of the season as shepherd fires a little too strong good fight for the rebound
00:39:25and it's claimed by harper and he feels like thompson has maybe made the biggest stride so far in that
00:39:30position just looking more and more comfortable with each passing game 12 to shoot now for johnson
00:39:38when banyama saw nobody was there oh he tried another hammer over the top of capella this time he's fouled
00:39:44and i don't blame capella for right there you never know when banyama gets into the paint always a
00:39:51threat but right there a little pin down to the elbow recognized that nobody was there
00:39:58dribble all capella could do see right there he
00:40:02hesitation but he was winding up to finish
00:40:07kind of how like back in the day we played nerf
00:40:09basketball yeah above the right the door in your bedroom oh no you you went nerf above the i went
00:40:15little types that was as high as i could get it
00:40:20tap into the action in the nba app go behind the scenes in the moments tab keep up with the first
00:40:25night of rivals week and tap to watch all the games live download the app today changes on both sides
00:40:31many smith and capella will sit jabari smith along with tari eason on the floor durant shepherd
00:40:41and thompson will round out the five the bond castle back out there for san
00:40:46antonio along the paris and barns and yama adds a couple more
00:40:51the shooting from the three-point line from san antonio right now 61 percent eight made threes
00:40:58in this first half it's opening up the driving lanes for when banyama and he's making him
00:41:02make shepherd catch and shoot that's good talk about this young man the improvement from rookie year
00:41:08to this year the aggressiveness and the confidence on display with the shooting he really got them
00:41:15going in their win over minnesota a couple days back 110 105 but it was shepherd that ignited the
00:41:20offense kevin durant really acknowledged that without him jump starting it they probably don't win that game
00:41:26has weapon yama book it the mini really can't defend that seven four that wingspan this shoots right over
00:41:37pretty tall guy in himself in durant
00:41:41thompson got a nice cushion here from women yama he's daring him to shoot it from the outside
00:41:47he'll take the dare and come up short
00:41:52women yama got that look in his eye
00:41:54right now eason steps up defensively on wimby he's going to try to post them right in that short
00:41:59corner 12 to shoot shows the ball got him up in the air trying to call the foul and comes up well short
00:42:08eason full out of steam right to the rim had it knocked away initially second chance doesn't go and
00:42:14it stays here out of bounds smart there from eason trying to attack the rim before women yama gets back but
00:42:19it looks right at kevin durant really when durant entered the league 18 years ago kind of just
00:42:28really embodied how the game had evolved that his size 6 11 able to play like a guard no one had ever seen that
00:42:37fast forward now to win the yama
00:42:39and his size with the skill
00:42:41the shooting the passing defense like it's just taking it to another level and so much fun to watch
00:42:50him grow and develop and just think he's still in his third year still only 22 years old so much more
00:42:56improvement in front of him oh wimby took a shot shangun's gonna get it and the foul
00:43:01victor thought he was the culprit instead shangun takes advantage and wimby picks up number two
00:43:10victor stumbled a little bit contact on that drive great move though by shangun
00:43:18right there who grabbed his jersey look like wimby yama a little off balance
00:43:24grab
00:43:31you got hit in the head as well so it's tough when
00:43:35you can call for a foul but you also get hit
00:43:38as well and it's quite literally insult to injury
00:43:43exactly
00:43:44that shangun's gathering he's a physical player
00:43:48taking advantage of that strength as you see now houston falling back in the zone
00:43:52got to stay connected to these spurs shooters for three seven points and six assists for shangun
00:44:00around it goes he gets bars
00:44:02in and out tip in goes keldin johnson flying in
00:44:07everything going to spurs way
00:44:10and it's going the other way san antonio with the defensive stand they
00:44:15garner another offensive foul turnover for houston
00:44:18and that first game that they played as you mentioned back in november the
00:44:25houston rockets had 24 turnovers in that game
00:44:29led to 33 spurs points so obviously missing van vliet
00:44:35taking advantage of these opportunities and of course in this zone you have to block out which is hard to
00:44:40to do against a team like the spurs to crash on every shot
00:44:44raid shepard one of the top deflection players in the nba he came in with a ton
00:44:52on that side of the ball in particular sixth in the league with 143 deflections on the season
00:44:58on the kick champagne on the three he's got another three julian champagne is pure his fifth three of the night
00:45:05the rockets as a team have three shepard gets to his spot
00:45:15shepard right there a little snake action when the yama not up there and drop coverage
00:45:19oh champagne's open again he's gonna let it fly too strong offensive rebound from women yama castle will
00:45:26load it up and shangun finally gains possession this is a houston team that's number one in the nba
00:45:33and offensive rebounds number one in second chance points but a lot of that is stephen adams and
00:45:37what he creates on this end of the floor playing without him san antonio has been more active on the
00:45:42glass so far as the foul can be called on the spurs here with 6 34 to play in the second it's an 11 point game
00:45:53thanks noah or darren fox with that quick eight to end the first quarter he loves playing here at
00:45:57home and that's what houston is for him he grew up in katie texas which is about 20-ish minutes
00:46:02from houston went to cypress lake high school and i talked to him before the game he does spend every
00:46:07single off season here in houston his parents are still here they're all here at the game
00:46:11so he gets to see his people each year not just when he plays i asked if he was a rockets fan growing
00:46:16up said that he would watch the game wasn't a huge fan but watched more players than just the rockets
00:46:21in general said that he did watch them in that window where they weren't great they weren't bad but he
00:46:26said they would do a slushy night a sonic free slushy night for every win he said he didn't get a lot
00:46:30of slushy so i don't think that's why he enjoyed following them but he said he loves being here
00:46:35in houston loves being back has so many friends family old coaches that come to the games but he
00:46:40does get to see him every off season as well did you ask him about if he juggled those basketballs in
00:46:44that photo from his high school that was impressive that was very impressive didn't ask him but i'll get
00:46:49to that at halftime yeah let us know what you find out the slushy thing is that's legit anywhere you go in
00:46:55the nba it feels like the crowd gets most engaged whether it's food or drink on the line 100 and
00:47:01slushy that's that's original let's create i like that i like that too 15 to shoot weapon yama rises
00:47:08and connects and they like that little pin down for wimpy yama he gets to that corner and i'm not sure
00:47:14how do you defend that he's there at his height he's it now shagun with 12 to shoot it's durant
00:47:26trying to lob it inside it got caught in between and stolen champenny up ahead johnson is hacked
00:47:33and he'll get two free throws right now on both sides of the ball the defense
00:47:40of san antonio the physicality of course on the offensive end everything flowing
00:47:48and this little pin down action harrison barnes pins down on koji koge excuse me
00:47:54right there good defense you get in his space there's just not much you can do in that situation
00:48:00all you can do is reach in and try to foul right there and a little blood on
00:48:05the arm of wimpy yama who will sit now to have that attended to he was scheduled to sit anyway with
00:48:11the minutes restriction that he's still somewhat playing with they're still trying to keep him
00:48:16within that 28-ish minute range and it's a long-term play mitch johnson has talked a lot about victor
00:48:22wimpy yama has talked a lot about it's a collective decision within the organization it's not just mitch
00:48:27johnson saying hey this is what needs to be done but he's following a lot of the protocols of what the
00:48:32organization is planning for him the the idea and he said it it's nice to win games in january
00:48:37it's much nicer to win games in may in june and that's the ultimate goal well thinking big picture
00:48:42and for a guy like wimpy yama i mean it's hard to sometimes get a rhythm when you're on these minute
00:48:48restrictions but you think about like you talked about the two games that he just played back-to-back
00:48:5330-point games and just taking advantage of his minutes and being productive and impacting winning
00:49:01mitch johnson said we expect victor to have a long career and that is the key long career
00:49:08a lot of this is looking towards the future as much as it is to the present shangun is the president
00:49:13houston and he comes up short on the pull-off offensive rebound second chance thompson had it
00:49:17knocked away by cornet and recovered by barnes the defense continues to be stifling for san antonio
00:49:25castle sidestep kick out it's barnes it's a three harrison barnes bullseye right now san antonio's not
00:49:34really running a lot of offense is getting the ball dribble penetration and spraying it out to shooters
00:49:40well the spurs are 17 and six on the season when harrison barnes scores in double figures he's already up to
00:49:45six the pull-up goes far east and gets the friendly bounce right now you should have to get some stops
00:49:53here gonna have to show some resistance and some force on the defensive end guard the dribble
00:49:58penetration and stay at home with shooters castle had a block by shangun it ends with champagne
00:50:03and he can't hit the three knocked out of bounds it's going the other way
00:50:09champagne finally proven that he's somewhat human from the outside after the blistering
00:50:15start he's now five of eight from three he's got 18 points he made udoka searching for answers for
00:50:20this guy who has become a mainstay in the starting lineup this is the 12th consecutive game that
00:50:26champagne has started the 30th of the season the veterans kevin duran and fred van gleet over on the
00:50:33houston sideline jeff green another veteran with his team steven adams brought so much experience
00:50:39and energy is a three seconds call against the spurs defense it's going to be castle who just
00:50:44parked himself a little bit too long in the paint mitch johnson trying to figure it out for himself
00:50:52so smith will get a free throw shoots it at 75 percent on the season coming off that season
00:50:58high 32 points against new orleans
00:51:03the tough second quarter here offensively for houston obviously the shooting of san antonio but the
00:51:10defense from the spurs and this young group their commitment on that end of the floor
00:51:15i mean that has really been really keys to their success this season exceeding expectations and right
00:51:23there being aggressive jabari smith he's gonna have to get involved here during this stretch
00:51:29he's trying to chip away at this lead castle gets in the paint had a trip by akogi what a save by shangun
00:51:36off to the races now for easing five smith striking to the rim timeout san antonio jabari gets airborne
00:51:45and brings some life to the toyota center that's how you get involved do it on the defensive hand great
00:51:54hands great save and pass get out and transition and jabari flying like an eagle
00:52:08well since december 15th the spurs have shot below 33 percent from the three which is second worst in
00:52:13the nba they're 10 of 19 tonight they have made 10 threes the rockets have only attempted eight and
00:52:19they've only made three and has helped to build this double-digit advantage but houston looking to cut
00:52:25into it a little further harper off the screen lob it up cornette does the rest and noah right now
00:52:31because of that three-point shooting guys are hesitant to help so the driving lanes in that screen and roll
00:52:38wide open great pass great roll right now everything clicking this first shepherd puts the head down
00:52:45and he can't bank it home on the rebound track down by fox coaching three and a half to play in this
00:52:51first quarter was the there's this first half the end of the first quarter was when san antonio really
00:52:56bolstered the advantage ross harper kick barn swing champagne again julian champagne is making it rain in houston
00:53:08his sixth first half three he has doubled up houston from three by himself until that one from kevin duran
00:53:20duran right now only taking four shots four four from the field two of two from the three-point line
00:53:27time for him to get going but once again it's about getting stops regarding the three-point line spurs
00:53:34winliness rockets just get a gift on an open look from harper grant wants the basketball doesn't get it
00:53:43he's got the mismatch with fox double comes from champ penny finds the open man and smith had a block by
00:53:50cornet two and a half to play in the second fox step away for two multiple players on this san antonio team
00:54:01that can get downhill off the bounce go one-on-one just putting so much pressure on your defense
00:54:08it's so hard to defend shepherd off the heels champ penny has the rebound it's his most points in the
00:54:16first half this season up to 21. goes to set the screen for fox they're looking for him doesn't need space
00:54:25he comes up too strong this time heat check right there i think they're going to just keep giving
00:54:31him heat checks until he proves that he keeps missing give and go check good the no look lob thompson is foul
00:54:44right here great one-handed pass on the screen and roll the back side not there to help
00:54:49cornet knocking it down and once again and that play champion was contested there
00:54:56didn't matter the bench approves and then luke cornet what an addition to this team in the offseason rim
00:55:03protector fox everyone contributing everyone adding value for the spurs on both ends
00:55:11brain i don't know how you like your coffee but it's time for some french vanilla
00:55:14a little twin towers victor weapon yama and luke cornet on the floor together
00:55:21and mitch johnson said the biggest thing that luke cornet brings to the team is that when when
00:55:24bonyama does go to the bench they don't have to change their style of play
00:55:28and also to just having been in boston understanding winning basketball being in that environment
00:55:34bringing that pedigree here and as you said with mitch mitch johnson said just fitting in
00:55:40perfectly particularly when wendy not in the game now we'll see how houston who normally is one of
00:55:45the bigger teams in the nba without stephen adams capella on the bench keeps shangun at the starting
00:55:51five spot that he normally operates duran at the four here with this group along with a guy like dorian
00:55:57finney smith one triple point and that's short from castle 90 seconds to play in the first half
00:56:03can houston make a little bit of a run here before halftime durant got his space
00:56:09and cornet another defensive rebound
00:56:16fox stops pops shangun uncontested board shangun now 7.6 rebound seven assists he's on triple
00:56:24double watch it would be his tenth of his career duran ripped through out of bounds off duran
00:56:34and actually great defense there stefan castle to be so young and so gifted on that in a physical
00:56:42defender takes the challenge and causes that turnover nothing going this this quarter for the houston
00:56:50rockets it's better to the spurs and their defense it's going to be finney smith taking on the challenge
00:56:55of webin yama with seven to shoot wendy rising he's got it victor webin yama knocks down another jay i like
00:57:03how they put him at the elbow there it's hard to double team he can see everybody one dribble get to
00:57:09his spot two for one taken by shangun
00:57:15now in double figures with 10. 11 second different shot clock and game clock they'll get it to wendy
00:57:21that's a deep one off the heel cornette tried to guide it over to castle instead it's out of bounds shot
00:57:28clock off
00:57:33reed shepard a little offense defense will check in for thompson
00:57:39shepherd finney smith shengun
00:57:42duran and smith and with the perimeter defenders of san antonio with those twin towers out there
00:57:48you can really get up and pressure the rockets on the perimeter
00:57:52and really essentially funnel them inside
00:57:55to french vanilla
00:57:59led by as many as 16 the rockers can make it a 10 or 9 point deficit heading into the half year
00:58:04genuine thought about it bounce it right back from duran and when yama came over on the help
00:58:09is going to pick up his third personal foul
00:58:13al p shingun right there made a wise decision on that role
00:58:19little shot fake give and go action went up
00:58:22so wimby coming
00:58:25once again seeking the contact getting to the free throw line and
00:58:29maybe now with those three fouls
00:58:33well this week is nba rivals week take a look at the upcoming national

00:58:52and noah right now if shingun can make this free throw and houston rockets can get a stop
00:58:58going in at halftime just down 10 with the way this spurs team has shot the basketball and had their way
00:59:06tell you emidoka has to be happy with that
00:59:09could be a lot worse seven seconds left here for fox races into the front court fox outside
00:59:14webin yama has to force it nearly banks at home champagne got there but couldn't get one off in
00:59:20one time and we will go to the half in a ten point game after two the spurs score 70 in the first half
00:59:28for the sixth time this season champagne with a season high 21 first half points as we go to ashley
00:59:37all right julian six first half threes for you are you just taking what the defense is giving
00:59:41you or is it just a hot shooting start this first half i think i'm just taking what the defense is
00:59:44giving me my teammates keep finding me so my job is to shoot overall though the offense is it just
00:59:49solid spurs defense leading to that good rhythm offensively as the team yeah i think i think
00:59:54we're playing pretty well on defense so it's giving us the opportunity to run a transition
00:59:58which is leading to three so yeah
