00:00Robert Williams will not play either for the Celtics, so not only are they up against and down 3-1, but they're without some significant pieces.
00:09And the Celtics with Tatum at the controls. Went for 50 and 40 in his last two games, and he's got the first two here tonight.
00:19Romeo Langford joining him with some of their younger players, Kate Pritchard and Aaron Neesmith. We'll see how they go along in this game.
00:28So the Nets are 0-4 from behind the yard. Marcus Smart will let one fly. Now he's missed nine consecutive threes.
00:35Going back to game four. Thought he was fouled. Harden on the take. And Harden scores as Fournier hits the deck.
00:41Nix it. Marcus Smart open again, and he misses again. Up ahead on the run out is Kyrie Irving who elevates and scores.
00:50Showing off his bop just a little bit, like throwing it down without touching the rim. I love it.
00:55Evan Fournier hits a three-pointer for the Celtics.
01:02Harden gives it back to Harris. Harris on the drive. And Harris finishes inside.
01:08Yeah, how quickly I rattled that off. That was... I even amazed myself on that one.
01:13Here goes Kyrie Irving. And Irving scores the layup. One of the great finishers.
01:19He's one of my 800 teammates. You know that 800 teammates that play for the pro team.
01:22But we were together in Miami. And just because you put a plan together doesn't mean it's going to play up.
01:29Landry Schammett pulls down the rebound. You've got to wonder if Smart is starting to get in his head with all these missed threes now.
01:35Smart continues to struggle. He's 0-4. And on the other end, cash it in.
01:39Kevin Durant. Game all tied at 19 as we get to the three-minute mark of the first quarter.
01:46In game four, Boston led by one at the end of one.
01:50Potato shakes Claxton. That's a big man to shoot over.
01:54Even though Claxton had a hand in the top of it. It's a rebound.
01:58Denied by Durant. Neesmith going to the rack. And Durant with a block.
02:01In transition come the dance. A lead by Harden. And Durant scores.
02:07And Durant has been one of the primary defenders on him, especially in crunch time.
02:12Oh, some nifty dribbling by Kyrie Irving. Went full Uncle Drew right there.
02:17Jason Tatum, the last 30 seconds, and you have the timeout.
02:22And Irving cashes in with a three-pointer on the other side.
02:26But you would think that you want to slow up, cut down on the possessions if you're the Celtics.
02:32It's a beautiful pass. Claxton inside.
02:35And Fournier late in the clock. Comes up short.
02:38Claxton been dealing with a lot of injuries. Had a right knee injury.
02:41First 32 games is Jamin.
02:44Finds some space to run free. Nice find.
02:47And the Nets are up eight.
02:50Harden with the assist. Harden's got six assists already.
02:53And Peyton Pritchard responds with it.
02:56But, you know, that right there is a little skewed.
02:58Like, numbers don't tell the whole story.
03:00Look at the teams and the players.
03:03And speaking of players, that's why he has an opportunity.
03:07At any level was a consultant with the Golden State Warriors.
03:11Here's Harris on a three. That is one of the sweetest strokes.
03:14Harden's got 16.7 assists already and six rebounds.
03:20Perhaps on his way to a triple-double.
03:22The big three on the floor now.
03:24Kevin Durant for three. Cash.
03:27He knows he's got a lot of options and a lot of weapons.
03:31Yeah, it was my pleasure to play with Steve.
03:33And that's just got that right there.
03:35Just, you know.
03:36Never know how a series changes.
03:38You fight as long as you can.
03:39And that's been the message for Brad Stephens and the Celtics leading up to tonight.
03:44As Evan Fournier rattles one home for Boston.
03:47Looking for help.
03:48Boy, the Nets are really closing out well.
03:50This is a good defensive possession for them.
03:53Smart lets Kyrie Irving go by and finally hits a three-pointer.
03:57He checked by Smart.
03:58This time, no good.
03:59Four-point Brooklyn lead.
04:06And that one's true.
04:10Irving's second three.
04:11There goes Tatum.
04:12A strong finish by Jason Tatum.
04:15Oh, an easy foul to pick up by Marcus Smart.
04:20Oh, it missed badly.
04:21Thompson hit the deck as well.
04:22Wasn't there for the offensive board.
04:24Here goes Kyrie Irving.
04:25Oh, a little sidestep.
04:26Kyrie Irving, a little Euro and a finish at the rim.
04:29Wander those opportunities when you have them.
04:31And then, again, make this Brooklyn team beat you with a hand in the face.
04:38Yeah, Romeo Langford.
04:39Nice extra pass by Jason Tatum.
04:42Tatum and Durant matching up against each other on both sides of the floor.
04:45A good part of this game.
04:47Fournier guarding Harden.
04:50And Harden gets the contact.
04:52And one for James Harden.
04:54It has been a struggle.
04:55Fournier now on Durant.
04:56Durant backs him down.
04:59Here's Joe Harris.
05:00Passed it up.
05:01Harris on the track.
05:02Leaves it.
05:02Griffin throws it down.
05:06See if Boston has an answer here.
05:09Fournier on the take.
05:10Little runner is good.
05:12Friendly bounce.
05:13Evan Fournier scores.
05:15He's got nine.
05:16Averaging just shy of 15 in this series.
05:20Kyrie Irving.
05:22Back to Griffin.
05:23And Griffin right there once again.
05:25Hit that roll.
05:26You can't help off the corners.
05:27And Blake is going to be free to roll and get those opportunities like that with Kevin Durant.
05:33Brooklyn closing it off at every pass.
05:37Back in the hands of Tatum with Griffin on him.
05:39They're hunting Griffin whenever they can.
05:41And Tatum hits a three for the Celtics.
05:44Boston on the 7-0 run.
05:46And you do that by getting stopped.
05:47This time Kyrie was able to beat that defense right out the timeout.
05:52This is in the last few possessions here.
05:54Brooklyn back to a nine-point lead.
05:56Here's Tatum now.
05:56He's got Brown on him.
05:57He just backs him in.
05:58And at 6'9", Jason Tatum with the finger roll.
06:03And Brown in the corner.
06:05Comes up empty.
06:06Smart with a rebound.
06:09Smart wants to push.
06:10Going after Shammott.
06:11Gives it up.
06:12Romeo Langford for three.
06:15Williams will enter for the Celtics.
06:18Jabari Parker is out.
06:20Shot clock late here.
06:21Durant over Langford.
06:22And Durant, he has been so good all playoffs long.
06:28Fifth game of the series.
06:29Down 3-1.
06:30Facing elimination tonight.
06:32Long to Tatum.
06:34His cash money.
06:36Jason Tatum hits.
06:40Claxton gets a touch here.
06:42Thompson on him.
06:43Three quick team fouls on the Celtics as Harden knocks down a tray.
06:51James Harden.
06:52Fournier guarding Harden.
06:54A lot of dribbling right here.
06:56Lost the handle briefly.
06:58Now some movement.
06:59Here goes Harris.
07:00Gives him a Claxton.
07:02A two-handed jam.
07:04With Kevin Durant and Nicholas Claxton.
07:07Claxton's got six.
07:09He's got four rebounds.
07:11Tatum answers with a three-pointer.
07:13Over and under.
07:14You think you get it.
07:15I'm saying that is a done deal.
07:16Come on, man.
07:18Pulls a string.
07:19Fournier trying to stay with him.
07:20Gets by and out.
07:22Loses him.
07:23Scores it.
07:24There's going to be an offensive foul.
07:25It is.
07:25James Harden picks up number five.
07:28Come to Celtics.
07:30Eight minutes to go in regulation.
07:33Boston playing for their playoff lives.
07:35Fournier is fouled and won.
07:38Evan Fournier goes across the lane.
07:41The rest of this quarter.
07:44So now Brooklyn goes small here.
07:45Claxton out.
07:46Gave him great minutes tonight.
07:48Durant for three.
07:50Got it.
07:51Kevin Durant pours it in from three-point range.
07:54The lead is 11.
07:55Is Durant now with 19?
07:58There's a steal.
07:59Bruce Brown snuffed it out.
08:01Gives it to Kyrie Irving.
08:03Three-pointer is good.
08:04Back-to-back threes.
08:06Durant and Kyrie Irving.
08:09And by the way, James Harden now a triple-double.
08:12Big possession for the Celtics.
08:14Fournier with a reverse.
08:15Marcus Smart trying to stay with Harden.
08:22Cash money.
08:23They all hit.
08:24And all from the same spot.
08:26What a burst by the Brooklyn Nets here in this fourth quarter.
08:31They're up 17 now.
08:34And Smart scores the layup.
08:36Of his 18 assists, nine of those were on made three-pointers.
08:41Of his 10 assists tonight, six of them are made threes.
08:44How about Durant?
08:45Cash is another one in.
08:47That overturned call at the eight-and-a-half-minute mark,
08:49if that stays Boston's way, they were down 10 at the time.
08:53They have a chance to cut it to single digits as Harden buries a three.
08:58And then they've been on a big run since.
09:03And it's going to be the end of the line for the Celtics as Durant now just
09:07exclamation point one after the other for the Brooklyn Nets.
09:11That series all tied at two apiece.
09:13The Suns and the Lakers in the West.
09:17And they are coming to a roar here at Barclays Center as Joe Harris.
09:21He's done all the giving today.
09:23Finally knocks down a three.
09:25Durant, Irving, Harden did not disappoint tonight.
09:30Harden goes for a 34-point triple-double.
09:33Durant with 24.
09:36Kyrie Irving with 25.
09:39And that's it.
09:40It's the end of the line for the Boston Celtics as the Brooklyn Nets will advance
09:45to round two of 123-109 victory.
09:49All right.
09:50Step around two.
