00:00Basketball floor his ability to be able to score the basketball in a crazy clip
00:04But also to he gets his teammates involved in a game against everybody to want to play for him and his team
00:10And Kawhi just coming back after a three-game absence for injury and just sewing no signs of rust
00:17He's doing it in a little bit of every way. We know he's taking more threes
00:22But what does that three-point ball unlock the mid-range game and then right here just
00:28Being quiet old. He's averaging career numbers across the board
00:33Why getting to the paint getting to his spot super efficient early six and nine from the field
00:39And that's from the wing presented by wingstop moments ago ali caught up with zubats
00:47What was working well defensively
00:50Just showing our bodies we kind of know how they want to play and we want to show bodies we want to show crowd and
00:57Close out to their shooters, so I think we did a pretty good job
01:01And also staying down on fire pump face we know
01:04They want to get to the free throw line and I think we're doing a good job so far for you in the first half ten and nine
01:09But can you take me inside the connection between you and james harden? What allows it to be so successful?
01:15Just I think high two high iq players, so we're trying to
01:19Play off of each other beat each other and
01:22Uh, he's a magician. He got a high basketball iq. He's so easy to work in pick and roll, so I just got a screen and
01:29Read the defender and he's gonna do the rest
01:32I do appreciate the time. Thank you. Kevin back here. You got it ali
01:35You know that seems to be a theme about the brain
01:37Power the the way these guys think the game you've mentioned both of you have a couple times how smart they are
01:44Let alone how gifted they are
01:46Yeah, I mean obviously the brain is one thing that we don't we don't get a chance to see we talked about a lot with lebron
01:51James is one of his greatest attributes and strengths is the way he thinks and how his mind works
01:56So you get a chance to see the greats and they're not just good because they can put the ball in a basket
02:01They're great because they think the game at a level that many canes
02:05Well, you said something that duane before the game about here's a guy who had no camp no preseason missed the first 14 games
02:12But he's always he seemingly is always in shape speaking about lebron. Yeah, he doesn't take any time off normally
02:19And so he's a guy who hasn't been heavily injured in his career
02:22So he has he's been able to continue to do that. This is the first year in his 23rd season that he did not have a training camp
02:29That he did not have a preseason and we had high expectations for a 41 year old when the season started
02:35Harden in the Arabia
02:40Right there Harden getting too deep obviously Lakers are not allowing Harden to beat them by himself
02:47Lakers cannot capitalize on that
02:50four on three break
02:53So far the Clippers are getting all the easy points in the paint fast break second chance at the line Harden at the hole and caught at the top and a foul
03:02And Harden Harden is going to adjust
03:07Obviously on the screen they're bringing two
03:11In iso with a big on Aiden going downhill shot blocker again away from the rims
03:17So, you know, you can attack the glass and get to your spot
03:20And it's not his hard one control the game like like what does he do?
03:25Specifically that you admire the way he controls the game whether it be pace or whatever
03:29Well, I think it's pace, but it's also creating space for your team
03:34By understanding the coverages you're going to see guys like Harden guys like Luca putting their others in spots where they know that they can attack the defense
03:41I think you just said that putting their others in spots listen always been a threat whether you score the ball
03:48Whether you've just been a decoy
03:50James Harden is always a threat and one of his biggest things that he does very well is get his other guys involved in the game early
03:56Which loosens up the game for him offensively as it goes on finally Aiden gets one to go ahead one late in the first half
04:03He's missed a couple right there in the doorstep got that to drop. Yes, Aiden obviously recovering got hit in the eye in that
04:10Nuggets game in the first half and so did not return so this is
04:14Obviously a good side to the Lakers. Yeah, he only played 15 minutes after he was stuck in the eye wearing the protective goggles tonight
04:23I've done three Laker games here and each time Aiden has had a different hairstyle. It's a little Issa Rae
04:30He's giving me a little Issa Rae by with the switching of the hairstyles
04:34That looks good
04:36And he's creative and he's looking outside the box here comes Harden. He always thinks outside the box
04:41Look at the fake the diss
04:43Clunk at him. Dodger stabs. Look at the other one. And this is where Luca is dangerous. Defense retreating
04:51secondary
04:53Arabia can't finish but right there that pace
04:55Nice
04:57In transition is what makes Luca unstoppable
05:00The cards inside the dun
05:02Outside Leonard the fake of the mid-range
05:04The layup that's what we call that
05:07It's layup these are these are spots kids that Kawhi Leonard practices every day every time he's on the basketball floor
05:14He practices these spots and so when he gets to him it's not unfamiliar to him
05:18He just razzes up and he shoots
05:20I mean the crazy thing to me D-Wade is there's no pizazz. He's not dancing. He's north and south
05:26He's not going east and west
05:28Deflected by Zubas Leonard the other way Smart will meet him with a push and a foul
05:35And it comes three minutes into the third quarter Clippers have won eight of the last nine at home
05:40And smart picks up his second foul for the lakers
05:45Well, Kevin and can as I continue to talk about the Clippers defense
05:49And here's some of the things on our offensive end that helps the defense better shot selection
05:53These guys know where the ball is supposed to go
05:56He's going to go to James Harden and Kawhi Leonard to set the plate and the shot selection is
06:00It's become so much better that they know what their misses are coming in and so it allows them to get back to defense and set their defense
06:06Collins can't get it
06:11It's LeBron three is shot
06:13It's a triple
06:15Rebound by Harden
06:19Harden has thrown every can to go tonight fourth rebound
06:23The wide corner Collins three no
06:26It's a Leonard rebound inside then lost it as he came down then two box vacuums it in
06:31Dunn corner Collins Leonard shot clock at five
06:36We'll raise you there the fake the fire
06:40Right between the eyes
06:46Look at him stare him down and just raise up
06:49Candace this is what Kawhi did he just looked at him in the eyes he got him to raise
06:53got him to fall back and did what he do get buckets
06:56It's 19 for Kawhi Leonard
07:02I'm Brian brought to you by Wingstop big plays with even bigger flavor Wingstop is here
07:08and by
07:09Carmex
07:10Want to drive?
07:11Clippers are driving well 25-9 run
07:14over the last 11 minutes
07:16in what has been a remarkable season
07:18James off-down
07:19Subox cleans it up
07:21Dunn will trigger Harden at the control
07:24He got picked off
07:26It's laravia
07:27They get a move
07:28James is
07:29Freeland
07:30That's what was out of bounds
07:33Who's ball?
07:34That way's ball
07:35They're both L.A. It's a Lakers ball
07:37But not much is going to be talked about that
07:39James Harden turns it over
07:40Did you see the sprint back?
07:42And I think that's what's turned their season around is their activity
07:46Their intent to get to their spots and when they make a mistake
07:49Getting back in transition defense
07:51It's their commitment to each other
07:52It's not one to let each other any of those guys down
07:56And once you get to that place then you start building trust
07:59And that's what this team has built since they were 6-21
08:01So the foul goes undone
08:05Checking on him
08:06And here is Luka Doncic
08:09So let's backpedal with you two just a bit
08:11Because we're about at the year anniversary
08:12We began the broadcast talking about
08:14The trade from Dallas to L.A.
08:16Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers
08:20In the year that has gone by
08:22Now he leads the league in scoring
08:24Did you think it would work this way?
08:26Has it worked better than you thought?
08:27Less than you thought?
08:28About what you thought?
08:29Like how are you assessing it one year in?
08:33Well, I think it worked about what I thought
08:36I mean, we all thought when Luka got traded to the Lakers was
08:39This is great because LeBron James
08:41A player who's very similar to Luka
08:44Is there and is somebody who can teach Luka
08:46And show Luka how to get to that even that next level
08:49And so we're watching right now Luka go to
08:52What we think is the next level for him
08:53So it worked out
08:54It's working out the way I thought
08:55D-Wade, what I love is the fact that
08:57And obviously they couldn't they didn't know LeBron was going to be injured in training camp
09:02But LeBron's usage is down
09:04But we know what he can become in the playoffs
09:06So you're able then to have Luka who's going to have the ball in his hands
09:10As Kawhi knocks down another layup
09:12And from the mid-range spot
09:14Same spot
09:16You're able to use Luka now in the regular season
09:19And rev LeBron up as opposed to in years past
09:22He's had to exert so much effort to get the Lakers out to a good start
09:26Where he got injured more so in February
09:29James positions for the shot
09:31Harden's got it
09:32Leonard now with over 20 points
09:3423rd consecutive
09:35No, no, no
09:37The Lakers are playing heavy tonight
09:42You can see it in them
09:43They're not playing with the joy that we used to seeing
09:45Why is it?
09:46It's a lot of noise going on around the Lakers
09:48And so sometimes that noise creeps in
09:51Into how you feel
09:52And then you perform a certain way
09:54And so when I'm watching this team right now
09:56I don't see a team that's connected
09:58That is having joy playing in a rival game here in LA
10:01You're referring to the story about the Busch family
10:05And all the different things off the floor
10:06That have gone in with the ownership change
10:08It's always a story
10:09It's been plenty of stories
10:10It's not just that one
10:10It's the one before that one
10:12And the one before that one
10:12They just become heavy
10:13Sometime
10:14And when you're watching this team right now
10:16I don't see joy
10:17Let's take a look at the upcoming national TV games tomorrow
10:24Crime video
10:25Rockets, Pistons, Nuggets, Bucks
10:27And Saturday ABC
10:28Tripleheader with New York and Philly
10:30It'll be the Warriors and Minnesota
10:32And the Lakers and Mavs
10:34Go to NBA.com
10:35What do you think, Candace?
10:37You're halfway through the season right now, D-Wade
10:39And you, as anybody, knows that there are some games on the schedule
10:42That you circle as games that are going to be tougher than others
10:45I think the Lakers showed promise in their comeback win against the Nuggets
10:50I think that they're going to have a boost off the bench
10:53And insert it into the starting lineup as Dunn gets a foul
10:57When Austin Reeves comes back
10:59But there's an eight-game road trip looming for them
11:02I think it is heavy at this point in the season to go on the road for that extent
11:06But you do learn a lot about yourself when you go on the road
11:10And I think we'll know a lot more about the Lakers when they come back from this road trip
11:13You know, a guy like Jackson Hayes, what we love about him is his energy as he gets back on defense
11:23We need the Lakers need that right now
11:25They need guys to come in this game
11:26And just play with the energy and the effort that they need to get back into this game
11:30And make them feel like they have a chance coming off that back-to-back
11:33That they just they just played the other night
11:35Leonard with the missed three
11:37He has the last ten Clipper points
11:40Donchik's the other way a fake away
11:42He takes it home
11:43Subac to rebound
11:45He's got 14 all behind the back
11:49Harden Dunn was there
11:51Clippers are shooting 55 percent from the floor
11:54Lakers 38
11:56Collins
12:01And obviously it's a tough task to stop
12:05Harden
12:07To stop Kawhi Leonard
12:08But I think it's been obviously
12:09Zubac that has come in and really cleaned up a lot of what's in the lane and in the paint
12:15I mean, it just seems like
12:17Velcro right there on the ball
12:19He comes up with every extra effort possession
12:21Well, Kahn with a three from outside
12:24Puts it through
12:25And James has got 12
12:28Zubac's 22nd double-double of the season
12:32Top five in the NBA
12:33Well, right now the Lakers are playing home on basketball
12:36Because they've gotten down so far that on the offensive end
12:39They're playing home run basketball on every shot
12:42When it really is about this defensive end
12:44It's the effort
12:45That we need to see more of
12:46Persistently
12:51Right here
12:53John Collins drops it off
12:54He called that a buddy pass
12:56Zubac
12:57It is a skill set to be in the right place at the right time
13:00And he seems like
13:01Every possession in this game
13:03He's been in the right place at the right time
13:05Achimura comes in
13:07Achimura comes in
13:08James is gone
13:12It's Doncic weaving
13:14Chiseling
13:17With a done rebound
13:18Harden sizing him up
13:25And he's got the mismatch on Hayes
13:28They'll slither
13:29Zubac
13:31Can't get it
13:32Harden does though
13:33And big two is inside
13:35No
13:35Look at this
13:36His miss
13:37Look at this delayed
13:37Triple teamed
13:39On Toshic
13:40Didn't come away with it
13:41But his effort
13:42Has been tremendous
13:44For the Clippers today
13:46Luka
13:50You see it on the Lakers
13:51This is
13:51They don't have the spirit right now
13:52That they need
13:53And the Clippers are not
13:54Leading up on them at all
14:03Kickball
14:04So Doncic is 0-5
14:05Starting this third quarter
14:08The one thing I look at
14:09That I just saw
14:11In the studio tonight
14:12You did not spoke about this
14:14Is James Harden and Zubac
14:15They just gave each other a look
14:16And when he gave
14:17When James gave Zubac the look
14:19Zubac moved to the other side of the floor
14:20To allow James just to go to his left
14:23And then he eventually was in the right spot
14:24To clean up
14:25And get the offensive rebound
14:26Candice then Harden Zubac's combination
14:29They combined to score the most points
14:32They produced the most
14:33Of any other pair in the league on a team
14:35And what does that do
14:37Obviously it creates points
14:39For each other
14:39But it also creates points
14:41For everybody else
14:42Because you have three point shooters
14:43That are capable
14:44Of making
14:45Of makeable shooters
14:46Doncic to Hachimura
14:48And a timeout taken by the Clippers
14:52The Clippers have led by as many as 26
14:55We're in the third
14:56Lakers Clippers on prime
14:58Memorialized on so many different
15:07Walls statues in this city
15:10Revered here
15:10Revered coast to coast
15:13And he had many friendships along the way
15:15Including the three of us
15:17Over the years
15:18A guy that we could confide in
15:20Seek advice from
15:22Compete against clearly
15:24But he always brought a smile to our face
15:26He epitomized what this Laker franchise
15:29And the NBA is all about
15:30Highest competition
15:31And a ferocity for the game
15:35But aside from Jordan
15:37And a couple others
15:37Probably unmatched
15:38Think about him
15:4120 years ago today
15:42With his 81 points
15:44Luka puts one in
15:4521 for him
15:48Hey Candice
15:49Just looking at that montage
15:51It takes us back to so many moments
15:53That we were able to have
15:54With the great Kobe Bryant
15:56And if you were lucky enough
15:57To have a friendship with him
15:59You were one of the lucky ones
16:00That lived on his earth
16:03I think it's just Kobe's mentality
16:05You know I think he ushered in
16:07An entire generation that wanted
16:09To not only play like him
16:10But think the game
16:12Approach the game
16:13And take the game as serious
16:14As he took it on a night in
16:16And night in and out basis
16:18Page kicks it
16:19Around the horn
16:20Vention three
16:26It was a little momentum
16:27For the Lakers right there
16:28They scored the last seven points
16:29And so
16:30You can see now that
16:31Intensity going to pick up
16:32On the defensive end of the floor
16:33When the ball go through the basket
16:35We all pick up our defensive effort
16:37A little bit more
16:38Three in the third
16:39And that is why
17:03He leads the league in free throw attempts
17:06There was nothing that Sanders did
17:09Poorly
17:10It's just Luka is so great at drawing contact
17:15He's incredible
17:16Incredible
17:17You know going back to one of
17:18Luka's points earlier
17:20He talked about when Kobe knew his name
17:22And I think we all had that moment
17:24Where you had the respect of your idol
17:27And one of the greats
17:28And when they know who you are
17:29You light up and you never forget the moment
17:32That one of your idols said
17:34Your name or said something to you
17:35And so just a special moment
17:37That we watched with Luka and Kobe
17:40Sidelined
17:40But we all have that moment
17:42Where we all was like
17:43Oh
17:43He know what
17:44He know my game
17:46Listen D-Wade
17:46I gotta
17:47I gotta use this opportunity
17:48For a subtle flex
17:49Uh
17:50Kobe came to one of my games
17:51And I got the Kobe nod
17:52Okay
17:53On a fadeaway
17:54I got the Kobe nod
17:56On a fadeaway
17:59It's Harden against Doncic
18:01And Hachimura
18:02Overed the shot
18:03Hayes was there
18:04Doncic the other way
18:07He'll work right into Sanders
18:09He'll collide with Lopez
18:11And get it back
18:13The leading scorer in the NBA
18:16Reuben
18:16Oh
18:17A foul
18:18Parachuting Hayes
18:20And that's what Jackson Hayes does
18:22For this Lakers team
18:24That spark off the bench coming in
18:26Played great minutes last game against Denver
18:30He just brings effort and activity around the rim
18:32One of my favorite lobs to throw when I play
18:34Was the late lob
18:36And if you're a guy that is a lob catcher or a rollerer
18:39You always got to keep your eye on the offensive player
18:41You never know when that moment is going to be there
18:45And that moment was there
18:47Hayes picked it up
18:49The only moment to go to Hayes
18:51Capping a 14-3 Laker run
18:53But most bigs will just look at Luka and say
18:56Okay, he has his man beat
18:57He's about to shoot the ball
18:58But I think what Jackson Hayes saw was when Luka came down the lane
19:02Lopez went up and that gave him an opportunity to have a quick second to know that Luka can throw this lob
19:08And he was aware
19:09You were talking this morning D-Wade about the Hayes
19:12Hayes and Aiden combination and what they bring when they're on the floor
19:17Go over that a little bit and what they mean
19:19When one is on the floor and then the other one is up there
19:21Yeah, I think with Aiden
19:23You're sometimes confused with what you may get
19:26And when I see Jackson Hayes
19:29I see a player and a team that understands exactly what they're going to get when he's on the floor
19:34So it allows for you to be comfortable knowing that this guy is going to be back there
19:38This guy's going to bring the energy
19:39This guy is going to go for that late pass that we saw Aiden not get earlier
19:44When Luka threw it to him and went out of bounds
19:46They know what Jackson Hayes is going to bring
19:49And I think the Lakers are figuring out
19:51Obviously
19:53Their lineups
19:54Their minutes
19:55Their pairs
19:56And it's going to be interesting when Austin Reeves does come back
20:00Because Austin Reeves had developed a little bit of a connection
20:04With DeAndre Aiden
20:05Oh, what a stroke by
20:08Luka Doncic
20:0926
20:11And the thing about the NBA
20:12The three-point line is the equalizer
20:15We thought this game was getting a little out of control
20:17And now you look up and it's 14
20:22Harden in control
20:24Miller got the feed
20:25In the corner
20:26Loper is a three
20:27Okay
20:28There you go to ball go to the basket
20:30You shrink the floor a little bit more
20:32You'll hurt faces up quicker
20:34That's what the Lakers need
20:36Oh
20:37That would have been nice
20:38Sanders has it
20:42Well that would have been a flex
20:43Here comes Sanders
20:44Reaving
20:45And Lopes again
20:46He's quickly jumps out
20:48Under a minute to go on the third
20:51Sanders
20:5117 footer
20:53Pretty shot
20:54Kobe Sanders
20:55Who comes from Nevada
20:57A marvelous conference school
20:58And he was a late second round pick
21:00And here he is
21:01Seeing credible minutes
21:02He's four or five tonight
21:04Sanders doing a great job
21:05Igniting the Clippers bench
21:08Coming in
21:08Knocking down shots
21:09Early catching shoots
21:10In the first half
21:11Opened up the rim
21:12And
21:15It's James
21:16Four of 12
21:17Over Lopes
21:20That might even
21:20The first shot he missed
21:21Looking down at the ball
21:22Before he shot it
21:23Good feed
21:23Vanderbilt got it
21:24From Bacic
21:25They couldn't convert
21:26On the doorstep
21:28And Lopes controls
21:3151%
21:32Shooting for the Clippers
21:3340%
21:34Shooting for the Lakers
21:35And that is rising
21:37Oh got it
21:38Here comes
21:40Lepron
21:4141
21:48And Lopes
21:50Rockies 21
21:53We talked about
21:53He's second in the NBA
21:55In transition points
21:56That was two of them
21:57Right there
21:58No way
21:59No way
22:00It goes
22:01And the quarter
22:02Has come to a close
22:03And a 19-7
22:05Laker run
22:06To close the third
22:07Well LeBron James
22:09Is 41 years old
22:10And we have seen this guy
22:13Play for 23 years
22:14And this year
22:15Right here
22:16He is number two
22:17Candice
22:18In transition buckets
22:19It's incredible
22:20Number two
22:21Wow
22:22That's into the third
22:22Let's go to the fourth
22:23Fun prime
22:24Up in here
22:27Up in here
22:28I've got to bring it to you cowards
22:29And it's going to be quick
22:30Donchich went against Dunn
22:32And won that battle
22:32Woo
22:34Wow
22:35Walked away by Eaton
22:36Oh nice shot by Harden

23:03The Lakers close the third
23:05On a 19-7 run
23:07Fourth is underway
23:09It's smart
23:09And James
23:134-13
23:15And D-Way
23:16We talked about this
23:17The Lakers
23:17Are going to run their offense
23:19Through LeBron
23:20And through his decision making
23:22Two more
23:23Three
23:24But what I love
23:26What LeBron has done
23:27Instead of running the offense
23:28Through him at half court
23:29Running pick and rolls
23:30He's supposed to
23:31Put himself right there
23:32In the block
23:32To run post those ways
23:33Closer to the basket
23:34Which makes the defense
23:36Have to come
23:36And bring help quicker
23:38And so LeBron
23:39Is a willing passer
23:40And those guys
23:41Are ready to shoot
23:41T. Lou said
23:43Something to us
23:44To start the game
23:45About Jordan
23:47Who just drew a foul
23:49And is
23:49Is going to the line
23:51Jordan Miller
23:53Can play off the ball
23:55So he can play
23:56With the superstars
23:57But then he can also
23:58Put the ball in his hands
23:59And he can score
24:00And so being able
24:02To be a player like that
24:03That can play different ways
24:04Is a skill set
24:05In itself
24:06And that's why
24:06He's had success
24:07Over the past
24:0913 games
24:09And there at the line
24:11Vanderbilt picked up
24:12The first personal foul
24:13Clippers from the free throw line
24:1610 of 10
24:17The number one
24:18Free throw shooting team
24:20In the NBA
24:21Lakers coming in
24:24Having won two in a row
24:25And three of five
24:26And ten games
24:27Over 500
24:28The Clippers
24:29Five games
24:30Below 500
24:32But they've won
24:3213 of 16
24:34And have the best record
24:36In the NBA
24:36Since mid-December
24:38Best record
24:40In the league
24:4013 and 3
24:42The Clippers
24:43And they've won
24:438 of 9 at home
24:44Here's Leonard
24:45On James
24:46It's Sanders
24:50On Smart
24:50LeBron
24:51Lopez
24:52And the way
24:53To the hole
24:54Going
24:54LeBron James
24:5616 points
24:57And Timmy almost
24:58Messed that action up
24:59LeBron had to tell him
25:00Get out the way
25:01The flare is for me
25:03But you know
25:03LeBron knows
25:04All the plays
25:04And where everybody
25:05On the floor
25:06Needs to be
25:07But this is the lineup
25:08Right here
25:08To get him going
25:09Get him engaged
25:10He's in the lineup
25:10You see his eyes
25:11He's talking now
25:12His eyes have changed
25:13Timmy on the floor
25:15Leonard corrals it
25:16Lopez
25:17He'll feed in the corner
25:19It's Miller
25:19Taking it in
25:20Off the glass
25:21That's tough
25:24That's just a tough question
25:25Miller's got ten
25:27Averages eight
25:28And he's had double figures
25:33Now six consecutive games
25:35Timmy in the corner
25:39It's smart
25:40I love Marcus Smart
25:44Being on the second side
25:47Of LeBron James
25:48Because once LeBron
25:49Gives the ball up
25:50And it swings the other side
25:51Marcus Smart can attach
25:52He can be down here
25:53He can make plays as well
25:55And so I love that
25:56Ice balance by Leonard
25:58And outside answering
26:00Jordan Miller puts it in
26:02And Jordan Miller
26:03Possession before
26:04Attack that goes out
26:05Tough layup
26:06Then ready for the catch and shoot
26:08And the ball came out
26:09And the ball came out
26:10And the ball came out
26:11Kachimura
26:12Shooter has improved
26:14For the Lakers
26:14Across the lane
26:15Tough shot
26:16Got it
26:17He's got 12
26:20Go Cliff
26:21Go
26:22It's a cross court
26:34It's Batum in the corner
26:35It's a James rebound
26:37Defense
26:39Smart didn't shine
26:42And he caught it to Vanderbilt
26:44Who came down awkwardly
26:46But continues this roll
26:48By L.A.
26:49The Lakers
26:50Of these two teams
26:51Now down by 10
26:52With a whistle
26:53JJ Reddick talked about
26:56The Mack truck lane
26:57And we were in there
26:58Speaking with him
26:59And so when LeBron James
27:00Get the ball
27:01Everybody's job
27:02Is to make sure
27:02That they get wide
27:03That they run
27:04And LeBron pitches it up
27:05To Marcus Smart
27:06And because everyone
27:07Is riding in their spacing
27:08Vando gets an easy dunk
27:10Came down a little wrong
27:11But an easy dunk
27:12And a lot of that started
27:13With the understanding
27:15Of LeBron has the ball
27:16He's in the middle of the floor
27:17It's my job
27:18To get out
27:19In these Mack truck lanes
27:20And D-Way
27:21We all know
27:22You don't play chicken
27:23With a Mack truck
27:23You gotta get out of the way
27:25When LeBron is running
27:27I don't care if it is
27:27Year 23
27:28Timmy picked up that foul
27:31Here comes Kawhi
27:32As he was swirling inside
27:34And it's out of bounds
27:37It's off of the Lakers
27:38Three minutes gone
27:40In the fourth
27:41Eight on the clock
27:43And we're seeing
27:43A similar pattern
27:44In the way
27:45That they work themselves
27:46Back in the Denver Nuggets game
27:48Is they're doing it
27:50With their defense
27:50They're allowing their defense
27:52To ignite their offense
27:53And nobody wants to run
27:54And have to defend
27:56This Lakers squad
27:57In transition
27:57Zubac's back in
27:59Lopez will sit
28:00With Sanders
28:02Zubac's screen
28:04Three Sanders
28:05No
28:05It was tapped on LeBron
28:07But Zubac collects
28:09And Leonard's got it
28:10Gotta box him out
28:12Right there
28:12Foul
28:14You gotta box Zubac out
28:16He's the one
28:17Offensive rebounder
28:18For this team
28:18You have to find him
28:19Put a body on him
28:20Make sure that he cannot
28:21Get the offensive rebound
28:23Because you guys
28:24Are on the run right now
28:25You need this basketball
28:26Fouls on Timmy
28:28Sanders
28:31Timmy's got three
28:33It's a turnover
28:38And Jared Vanderbilt
28:40And Jared Vanderbilt
28:41Has definitely left
28:42An imprint on this game
28:43Drawing that offensive foul
28:45On Leonard
28:46Making things difficult
28:47For him coming off the ball
28:49On the weak side screen
28:50And then
28:51On the other end
28:52Running
28:52The floor
28:53And getting easy buckets
28:55In transition
28:55A lot to be made
28:57About the Lakers defense
28:59And I would say
29:00This team is maybe
29:01Not constructed
29:01To be a 48 minute
29:02All out defensive team
29:03But in spurts
29:04And in moments
29:05They can do what
29:06They're doing right now
29:07And this is the effort
29:08That coach
29:09Redick is talking about
29:10That his coaching staff
29:11Really needs
29:11And he wants
29:12For this team
29:12To have a chance
29:13To win every night
29:14They doubled LeBron
29:15They forced the turnover
29:16And Leonard will take it
29:18With the Vanderbilt defense
29:19Kawhi
29:2224
29:24Oh my goodness
29:25Okay
29:26Get out
29:27Get out his way
29:28Here comes LeBron
29:29Get out his way
29:30Get out his way
29:36Get out of your back hook lane
29:37James with 18
29:43Okay
29:45Done to Batum
29:47The three
29:48The rebound
29:49It's caught by Hachimura
29:52LeBron
29:56Smart
29:58Off balance
29:59Good
30:00What a shot
30:03It's a 34-14
30:06Laker run
30:08You look at right here
30:12Marcus Smart
30:13Getting to his spot
30:14Attacking a closeout
30:15In transition
30:16Everyone in the building
30:19Knew who the ball
30:21Was going to
30:21In the middle of lane
30:22Luka was on the side
30:23Pointing to LeBron
30:25Running the Mack truck lane
30:27As D-Wade said
30:28I mean he's too big
30:29Too strong
30:30Year 23
30:31Give him the ball
30:32And get it out of the way
30:34That's what JJ said
30:35Everyone knows
30:36When LeBron James
30:37Is in the middle of the floor
30:38You do not get in his way
30:39Defense and offense
30:41Can I just say this
30:42I don't know about you
30:44But as I got older
30:45The relationship between
30:47Fast break points
30:48And my age
30:48Was an inverse relationship
30:50LeBron is the opposite
30:52He's scoring the most
30:53In transition
30:54In his entire career
30:55It's Miller and Hachimura
30:59In the defense
31:00Shot clock down to four
31:02Look at the batting
31:02Behind the bat
31:04The bunt
31:04The grind
31:05The spin
31:05The shot
31:06No
31:07He'll feed
31:07There's a shot clock
31:08violation
31:09What defense by
31:11The Lakers
31:11That's what we're watching
31:17That's what we're watching
31:19Right there
31:19We're watching a team
31:20That has built some habits
31:22And the habits right now
31:24Is their ability
31:24To turn it on
31:26And bring winning effort
31:28Here's what gotten back
31:32In this one
31:32After trailing
31:34By 26
31:35Well AR is out
31:36And this is LeBron James'
31:37Lineup right here
31:38He has the perfect
31:39Complimentary players for him
31:41To do what he do
31:42And this look right here
31:43This is the look
31:44I'm used to seeing
31:45I don't think you guys
31:46Got to see it
31:46He's engaged in this game
31:48He's here
31:49He's ready
31:49It's Hachimura for three
31:52And the rebound
31:54Chase down the diving
31:55Jimmy can't get it
31:56And picked up by Miller
31:57He'll make a move
32:03Readjusted
32:04Going to Louie
32:04Chubac trying to give it out
32:08Hachimura will grab it
32:09And the Lakers
32:10With Doncic back in
32:11He's got 26
32:138 and 7
32:15It's a three
32:19Smart can't connect
32:21And the Miller rebound
32:24And in the hands
32:25Of James Harden
32:26Back on the floor
32:28Into Doncic
32:29Look at him
32:30Swashpuckling his way
32:31Down the lane
32:32But couldn't get it
32:33Those Doncic
32:34Bodies on the floor
32:35Including Harden
32:36Timmy
32:38It's deflected
32:40Out of bounds
32:41Off the Clippers
32:41Shot clock at 18
32:42Well I think it was
32:43Very evident
32:44That James Harden
32:45Was not on the floor
32:46For the Clippers
32:46He's the calm
32:47He's the calm for them
32:49He's the guy
32:50That gets them set
32:51Gets them into their
32:52Situations
32:52And we need to have that
32:54It was a little hectic
32:54Watching the Clippers
32:55Play those last few minutes
32:57Without James Harden
32:57On the floor
32:58So we see his impact
33:00Immediately when he gets in
33:01They get a good shot
33:02And that's all they're
33:03Asking for
33:03What's been difficult
33:05For Ty Lue
33:06Even more so than tonight
33:07When you don't have
33:08Kawhi Leonard
33:09To put on the floor
33:10In those non-James Harden minutes
33:12But again
33:14In his 17th year
33:16Still averaging
33:1736-37 minutes
33:18Per game
33:19Donchich
33:20And now James
33:22Is in the game
33:23Donchich with it
33:25Off his foot
33:25Oh it's a foul
33:29They call a foul
33:30On the defense
33:31And back
33:32And was it on Chris Dunn
33:34It was
33:36Number four
33:37For the Clippers
33:38Donchich
33:49Sheds the D
33:50Two of ten
33:58From three
33:58Donchich
33:59Shot clock at one
34:01Oh
34:02Whoa
34:03Are you kidding me
34:09D-Wade
34:09Oh my goodness
34:11Lakers on a
34:1238-14 run
34:14That's a post move
34:16When you bump
34:17And you one leg
34:18Thirteen
34:19Fifteen
34:19Fifteen feet
34:21They swing it around
34:24Hulking for three
34:25Pulls high
34:26We got ourselves
34:31A shootout here
34:32In the corner
34:41Smart three
34:42Foul call
34:44Foul call
34:44As Collins
34:45Is going up
34:46And in Vanderbilt
34:47We're doing
34:48The Watushioff
34:49On that baseline
34:50And a foul
34:51Goal
34:51Right here
34:53D-Wade
34:54This is just
34:55One leg
34:56Fade
34:56What is that
34:58So that's what
34:59I was telling you
35:00Before the game
35:00That's how I would
35:01Do you in the post
35:02No way
35:03I would hit you
35:03With the shoulder
35:04And one leg
35:05Lean you
35:06That was nice
35:08Luka the Don
35:09Just shakes his head
35:10Right there
35:10Done
35:11As he goes back
35:12There's nothing
35:13You can do
35:14About that
35:14No
35:15And I guarantee
35:16He practices that
35:17I guarantee
35:18He does that
35:19On all days
35:20As well
35:20Vanderbilt
35:21Picks up his second
35:22Harden with the ball
35:24He draws the crowd
35:28Collins on top
35:29Splits the defense
35:30And climbs in for two
35:31And what's it
35:32To be followed
35:33By John Collins
35:34The Clippers offense
35:35Is simple
35:35They're putting two
35:36On James Harden
35:37How his others
35:39Are going to attack
35:40Off of closeouts
35:41Is going to determine
35:41The outcome of this game
35:43Defense
35:44Defense
35:46Defense
35:47Defense
35:49Defense
35:49It's Donchich
35:50Defense
35:51Defense
35:51Defense
35:52Double
35:53Feeds
35:54James
35:56Aims
35:56Shoots
35:57And the rebound
35:59By John
36:00Clippers led
36:04By 26
36:04Now the lead
36:05At 7
36:05Harden sizing
36:08Him up
36:08Timmy's on him
36:10Subac
36:12Done
36:13Free
36:14The fire
36:15From three
36:15Rebound
36:17The Lakers
36:18Are looking
36:18With that shot
36:19They are
36:20But I love
36:21Subac
36:21What he did
36:22Right there
36:22Just had the patience
36:23He could have
36:24Went and got his own
36:24Shot off
36:25But if we talked
36:27About candy
36:28Oh
36:28Here comes a tackle
36:30Uh oh
36:32Get him off
36:36It's getting gnarly
36:52You knew it
36:53You're seeing it now
36:55That's kind of what
36:58Van Gogh does
36:59He kind of agitates a little bit
37:01You know
37:01And so
37:02He's a little pest
37:04He agitates
37:05He's been going over the top
37:06A lot
37:07Crashing in for the rebounds
37:08And he's an agitator
37:09And he's fearless
37:11We're always confused
37:14How you get a double foul
37:16If you're being held
37:17And you're trying to get your arm
37:19Away from
37:19But the refs
37:20The refs ain't see it
37:21They just
37:21They just double foul it
37:22Like hey
37:23Both of y'all
37:23Zubac is like
37:26I'm just trying to get my arm
37:27You know when your kids
37:27Come to you
37:28And they both crying
37:29You like
37:29You know
37:30You don't know who started
37:30You just
37:31Both of them in trouble
37:32He just
37:33Here
37:34Both of y'all
37:35Hayes is going to check in
37:39For the Lakers
37:41Vanderbilt
37:42He'll take a seat
37:44But he sure gives him grit
37:47Every time Jared's out there
37:49And he gives him
37:49Just that little nastiness
37:51That all good teams have
37:53Yeah that's his job right there
37:55Kevin
37:55His job is to come in
37:56And do those things
37:57And so
37:58They need a guy like that
37:59That's going
38:00Get a little nasty
38:01Take a busted lip
38:03And keep you pushing
38:04It's hard
38:06They were trying to get inside
38:11Not the way
38:12He shot clock at six
38:13Again right here
38:14Lakers
38:15Two on the ball
38:16Zoning up on the back side
38:17And living with anybody
38:19Other than James Harden
38:20Making plays
38:22LeBron James is playing
38:24Free safety in the back too
38:25That's what you want
38:26From a guy who had
38:27Great anticipation
38:28Zubac with a robust
38:30Moving child
38:31And fouled
38:31As he was spinning
38:32I would love to see
38:36Zubac short roll
38:37In the middle of the floor
38:38Because any time
38:39James Harden can see
38:40Over the two double
38:42And you have your
38:43Seven foot center
38:43In the middle
38:44That's able to then
38:45Finish in the paint
38:46But also get others involved
38:48It really opens up things
38:50For the Clippers offense
38:50The foul goes on LeBron
38:53With Zubac at the line
38:56The NBA tonight on Prime
38:59From Los Angeles
39:00Brought to you by Carfax
39:02Say show me Carfax
39:04At Carfax.com
39:07And by Liberty Mutual
39:09Only pay for what you need
39:11Liberty
39:11You want me to do that
39:15The Clippers
39:16The Clippers
39:18Had their lead
39:19Chopped to two
39:20Now they're on
39:21A 7-0 run
39:23Back to Los Angeles
39:24And AWS Rivals
39:26Week on Prime
39:27Presented by
39:28Wingstop
39:29I say Rivals
39:30Is there
39:30I know they're in
39:31The same town
39:32Different buildings
39:33They share the same building
39:34But is there a rivalry
39:36With these two
39:37I don't know
39:38If it's a rivalry
39:39Candice
39:39But it is some jockeying
39:41For position
39:42Going on in LA
39:43D-Wade
39:44You've gotten Hollywood
39:45Since you moved out here
39:46Where's the Midwest
39:48mentality
39:49And the grit and grind
39:50That we learned
39:51Growing up in the
39:52Chicagoland area
39:53When you're battling
39:54For championships
39:55That's when it becomes
39:56A rivalry
39:56I didn't say
39:57It's not a rivalry
39:58The Clippers have been
39:59The little brother
40:00To the Lakers
40:01For a long time
40:02Because the Lakers
40:02Had 10 banners
40:03And they have 10 banners
40:05So when they start
40:06Battling in the playoffs
40:07I think that's when
40:08It really becomes
40:09A rivalry
40:10LeBron in the corner
40:11It's caught
40:12It's fired
40:13Miller
40:13It can't be hit
40:14By Hachimura
40:15Jubax there
40:17Smart on the floor
40:18With a whistle
40:18And it's those
40:20Extra effort plays
40:22That have gotten
40:22The Lakers back
40:23In this game
40:24Made by Vanderbilt
40:25Made by Marcus Smart
40:27And that's why
40:28He's in there
40:29Obviously on the
40:30Defensive end
40:30But to come up
40:31With those extra possessions
40:32Miller is fourth
40:34For the Clippers
40:35Looks like
40:35T-Lew wants to challenge
40:37It's a nine point lead
40:43For the Clippers
40:44Who led earlier
40:45By 26
40:46And had their lead
40:47Cut down to two
40:48And a challenge now
40:49By the Clippers
40:50And they're still
40:55Taking a look at it now
40:57Watch it again
40:59Watch the hand
40:59The smart
41:00Yeah
41:01He puts his hand
41:02On his shoulder
41:03On Jordan Miller's shoulder
41:04Right there
41:06Is that what they're
41:10Challenging the over the back
41:12Or
41:12Is it the foul?
41:13Foul yeah
41:14They call the foul right here
41:15Yeah
41:16On Jordan Miller
41:17Yeah
41:18That's what he's challenging
41:19Conradio there is
41:37Illegal contact
41:38By Smart
41:38On the rebound
41:39Therefore this is going to be
41:40Overturned
41:40To a loose ball foul
41:42The challenge is successful
41:43And since we're in
41:44The penalty
41:46Number 22 is going to shoot
41:47Well this would qualify
41:56As a clutch game
41:57Because
41:58It was a five point game
42:00With five left to play
42:01And in clutch games
42:02The Lakers
42:03And J.J. Redick
42:04Are 13
42:05And one
42:07Now it's expanded a bit here
42:09We have free throws
42:10Coming up for Miller
42:11You're looking at
42:13A four point swing
42:14Right here
42:15Yep
42:15Possibly Marcus Smart
42:17Going to the free throw line
42:18Now Jordan Miller
42:19On the other end
42:20Allows the Clippers
42:21To add to their lead
42:22You're watching
42:25One of those situations
42:26Where the Lakers
42:27Got down so much
42:28In the third quarter
42:30And beginning of the fourth
42:31And they had to use
42:32A lot of their powers
42:33And their energies
42:33To get back in this game
42:35And then
42:36They kind of ran out
42:37Of a little bit
42:38LeBron went to the bench
42:39Got a little tired
42:39Luka came back in
42:41And you can see
42:42The guys kind of ran out
42:43Of a little bit of energy
42:44Nice rebound by Collins
42:46And he was
42:48Robbying
42:49And he was shoved
42:51There's a whistle
42:533.26 to go
42:55And Collins will be
42:58At the line
42:59And the foul
43:00Was called on
43:02Jackson Hayes
43:03And this is
43:05John Collins
43:06At the line
43:07When you start off
43:086-21
43:09You learn how to
43:10Not panic
43:10We watched the Clippers
43:13Not panic at all
43:15When the Lakers
43:16Were making their run
43:17And James Harden
43:17Came right back
43:18In the game
43:19And got right back
43:19To conducting
43:20Controlling
43:21This team
43:22But also
43:23You learn a sense
43:24Of urgency
43:25You understand
43:26That in order
43:26To turn your
43:27Season around
43:28It does come down
43:29To the extra plays
43:30The extra effort
43:30The rebounding
43:32And doing the little things
43:34And John Collins
43:35Has done that
43:36As of late
43:38For this team
43:39Knocking down the shot
43:40But doing those
43:41Extra little things
43:42It's smart
43:44It's James
43:46Donchich
43:47Doubled over
43:48Zubac
43:49Tough shot
43:49Foul
43:50With the Clippers
43:52On a 10-0 run
43:53Right now
43:54Dunn picks up
44:00His fifth
44:00Donchich hit the line
44:0379%
44:0521st double-double
44:07Of the season
44:07Tonight
44:08The league's top
44:09Score
44:10The leading
44:11All-Star
44:11Vote getter
44:12Is at the line
44:14Plenty of time
44:15But boy
44:16When you guys
44:18Dig out of a
44:1826-point deficit
44:20It takes a lot
44:23Of energy
44:23To just get
44:24Back in the game
44:25Which they did
44:26But now
44:27Falling a bit
44:28Yeah
44:29They were flying
44:31All over the floor
44:32To get back
44:33In this game
44:34They had to do
44:34Something incredible
44:35They had to
44:35Exalt so much energy
44:36They did
44:37They got back
44:38In the game
44:38Made it
44:39Made it competitive
44:40And then
44:40They just kind of
44:41Ran out of steam
44:42A little bit
44:42And so
44:43You expect that
44:44That's why
44:44You don't want
44:45To get down
44:45That much
44:46Versus a team
44:46Like this
44:47Harden
44:50With the switch
44:52And Hayes
44:53And double by
44:54Smart
44:55Here is a timeout
44:56Taken by the
44:57Clippers
44:57Three minutes
44:58Exactly to go
45:00In this one
45:01Grills step aside
45:04As well
45:05Lakers
45:06Clippers
45:07Rivals week
45:08In the NBA
45:08And this is
45:10The NBA
45:11On Prime
45:12Rivals week
45:14On Prime
45:15Presented by
45:16Wingstop
45:16You know what
45:18You said that name
45:20So many times
45:20I wish they'd bring
45:21Some Wingstop
45:21Corkshot
45:22Are you drums
45:25Or are you flats
45:26What's your favorite
45:26I'll eat bark
45:29Like I don't care
45:31I don't care what
45:32Just give me something
45:33Just a little something
45:35For the end
45:35Right Candace
45:36I'll eat bark
45:39It's crazy
45:39A lot of the night
45:41Quick conversation
45:44With our three officials
45:46The Clippers
45:48This is just such
45:49A historic thing
45:50They're trying to do
45:51Trying to get to 500
45:53After a 6 and 21 start
45:55No team
45:57With that kind of start
45:58In the first 27 games
46:01Of the season
46:01Ever
46:02Have ever gotten back
46:04To 500
46:04And one of those teams
46:05That was close
46:07Got to the playoffs
46:08But there were still
46:0910 games under 500
46:10So this is remarkable
46:12What they're trying
46:13To construct
46:14And Harden
46:15Is the very tip
46:16Of that enterprise
46:18As he works
46:18On Vanderbilt
46:19Who's back in
46:20And he takes it in
46:22It's a Donchich rebound
46:23Uh oh
46:24Harden is down
46:255 on 4
46:26It's James
46:29He got two bats
46:30On the wing
46:31And he takes him
46:32With a good move
46:34And jams it home
46:35For his 20th point
46:36Harden slow to get up
46:38But is back up
46:39But coach Tyrone Liu
46:41Talked about that slow start
46:42He talked about Bradley Bill
46:43He talked about Kawhi
46:45He talked about the missing
46:46So much time early
46:47That they didn't have
46:48An opportunity
46:48To really build any chemistry
46:50Smart with a nice
46:51Defensive play
46:52Has the ball
46:53Donchich the feed
46:54The three
46:54Good
46:55That was a big time hit
46:58He knocks it in
47:00To make it a six point game
47:02Again the Lakers
47:04Will not go away
47:06And Marcus Smart
47:08Huge on the road
47:09Against the Nuggets
47:10Knocked down two big threes
47:12Following it up today
47:13With a big one
47:15Puts the Lakers
47:16Within six
47:17And he's got a double-double
47:25Harden was complaining
47:27About a hit he took under
47:28That was not called
47:31And we've got
47:33Kawhi Leonard
47:35Back on the floor
47:37And Kawhi with 24 points
47:39In his 23rd consecutive game
47:42With 20 points or more
47:43He had missed the last three
47:45Playing tonight
47:46Wheels inside
47:47And dives
47:48And lost it
47:49And great defense
47:52Yep
47:53LeBron with the late help
47:54But let's give some credit
47:55To Vando
47:56Coming in
47:57A plus 18
47:59In his 20 minutes
48:00On the floor today
48:01Oh good man
48:05He caught a feed
48:07And Vanderbilt with the flush
48:08What a pass by LeBron
48:10They've ran that same play
48:12For Luka
48:13They've ran it for LeBron
48:15And it's to get them
48:16On that weak side
48:16Of the floor
48:17And make the defense
48:18Make a decision
48:19And right there
48:19He made the wrong decision
48:20And left Vando wide open
48:228-0 run
48:25John had it
48:27James charted
48:283-3
48:29Kawhi
48:29A whistle
48:32A foul
48:33It's on the Lakers
48:34Right there
48:36Marcus Smart
48:37Electing the late double
48:39Ball was up for grabs
48:41But it looked like
48:42Luka was trying to find
48:43But right here
48:44You put two on LeBron James
48:46With a rolling screener
48:49He's gonna make you pay
48:50Every single time
48:52Hachimura picks up the foul
48:54James with his fifth assist
48:56With five rebounds
48:58And LeBron with 20 points
49:0025 and 5
49:01And Zubac's at the line
49:03He's three of three
49:04Right here
49:06Kawhi
49:07But again
49:08Zubac
49:09I know they say box out
49:11But it is tougher to do
49:12He is
49:13A road to handle down
49:15He is a road
49:16Averaging a double
49:23Double
49:23Fifth and rebounding is
49:25Zubac's
49:27James
49:28Harden
49:28Over
49:29Oh he caught it
49:30Caught it
49:30Foul
49:31LeBron to the line
49:32And what is a four point game
49:35Right now
49:36And LeBron
49:36LeBron ran the same action
49:38Down the court
49:39Right
49:39Vando dump
49:40Previous possession
49:41He sets it up
49:43With a long hanging
49:44Dribble
49:45And then gets the
49:47And one
49:47So Zubac
49:49The first time
49:50They run this play
49:50Zubac is high
49:51He leaves so much space
49:52For LeBron to get that
49:53Pass to Vando
49:54This time
49:55Zubac is in between
49:56And LeBron just kept
49:58Eating up space
49:59Eating up space
49:59Until he got to that
50:00Left hand bucket
50:01LeBron 23
50:035 and 5
50:04And 19 shots
50:06It's done
50:08Jontic's there
50:09Got the screen
50:10Snakes in
50:11Oh Zubac
50:12What's a great screen
50:21Up top
50:21Same play again
50:22Now you got LeBron
50:24On this side
50:24Iso by itself
50:25James and Harden
50:28The corner
50:30Hachimura
50:30Three
50:31No
50:32Rebound
50:33Big time rebound
50:34Kawhi
50:34Under a minute to go
50:37Hounded by Vanderbilt
50:38Weaving
50:40Chiseling
50:41And resetting
50:43Leonard
50:44Donner's screen
50:45Leonard
50:47In the corner
50:48It's a three
50:49Bills high
50:50John Collins
50:52That was a
51:15Hickover sequence
51:16Talk about the
51:18Pressure by Vando
51:19LeBron
51:20Help
51:20Strong side
51:21Corner
51:22John Collins
51:23Knocking down
51:25The three
51:26At a high
51:26Clip this year
51:27But look at that
51:28Ready
51:29Ready for the
51:30Moment right there
51:31Not afraid of it
51:32I even watched
51:33I even watched
51:34The coach on the
51:35Sideline
51:35Taloo was doing
51:36A celebration as well
51:37When you see guys
51:39That you know
51:39Struggled for a little
51:40While throughout the
51:41Year
51:41Couldn't really find
51:42His space
51:43His spot
51:44And now you're
51:44Watching him have
51:45Success
51:46Because of the
51:46Work that you've
51:47Watched him put in
51:47You enjoy his
51:49Success
51:49So Collins
51:51In the month of
51:51January
51:5270% from the
51:54Floor
51:54Tonight
51:545 of 7
51:56And he's
51:57Knocked in
51:58Now 24
51:59Threes

52:25Talking
52:26You still see it
52:28In his eyes
52:29Dwayne
52:29You still see
52:30All the things
52:32That you saw
52:33When you played
52:33With him in
52:34Miami
52:34In those
52:34Championship
52:35Seasons
52:35Yeah he's
52:36Psycho
52:36You know this
52:37Guy is 41
52:38Years old
52:38And he's still
52:40Getting up
52:40Every day
52:40Putting in
52:41The word
52:41To try to
52:42Be great
52:42He's psycho
52:43It's
52:45Donchich
52:46They'll split
52:48And drive
52:49And put it up
52:49And get the deuce
52:51And make it
52:52A six point game
52:53The full court pressure
52:57By the Lakers
52:58I'd better get hurt
53:05And there's a timeout
53:07Timeout taken
53:10Clippers taken
53:11And now
53:14They're out of timeout
53:15Clippers have won
53:16Stay tuned after the game
53:22To watch
53:23NBA night camp
53:24For Amazon
53:24Music presents
53:26In the paint
53:28With a performance
53:29From LA's
53:30Very own
53:31YG
53:32We'll be watching
53:33Hope you do too
53:34And I understand
53:35That this is a
53:36Guards world
53:37But we gotta give
53:37Some love
53:38To the bigs
53:39UD said it
53:40Before the game
53:41He said
53:42Zubac is your
53:43Favorite center's
53:44Favorite center
53:44And he does it
53:45For a reason
53:46Quiet
53:47Right
53:4718 and 19
53:48Almost on the verge
53:50Of a 2020 game
53:51And he's done it
53:51By
53:53Burying in the paint
53:55Living in the paint
53:56Ready when the ball
53:57Comes to him
53:58And finishing
53:58Around the way
53:59Four consecutive
54:00Double-doubles
54:01For Zubac
54:02Well he just seems
54:02Candace
54:03He seems like he's
54:04Always in the right spot
54:05You know
54:06This is a guy who
54:07You said it
54:08Being in the right spot
54:08Is a talent
54:09This is a guy
54:10Who has the talent
54:11To know
54:11And have a knack
54:12For the ball
54:13And knows
54:13Where to be
54:14At all times
54:15Clippers led by 26
54:21Lakers got to
54:22Within a 93-91 reach
54:25Clippers moved ahead
54:27Here we sit
54:28Six point game
54:29Half minute to go
54:29On regulation
54:30So something I always
54:32Find fascinating
54:33And I've watched this
54:34With the Clippers
54:35Knickers platoon
54:36Always come in
54:37Late game
54:37Even if he has not
54:38Played
54:38To inbound the ball
54:40That's how much trust
54:41Oh but he threw it away
54:43Make me sound crazy
54:44Donchett's thinking
54:45Three maneuvers
54:47Smart
54:48Outside Luka
54:49It's a three
54:51Harden defended
54:51No
54:52Collins
54:53A leaping rebound
54:54Luka turned down
54:55A wide open three
54:57Wide open
54:59He's been all night
55:00That's all she wrote
55:02Clippers are going to win it
55:03Right here
55:20Vando making play
55:21After play
55:22Right there
55:23Luka
55:23He's got to shoot that
55:26That is the most
55:28Wide open
55:29He's been
55:29Yeah he was thinking
55:31Somebody was going to
55:31Yeah
55:32Are you sure
55:33You're exactly right
55:34Yeah
55:34Everyone being around Luka
55:36Clippers doing it
55:38From the line tonight
55:39Now 19 to 20
55:40And the Clippers
55:42Are going to win
55:44Their 14th game
55:46In the last 17
55:47They have gone
55:49Since the mid portion
55:51Of December
55:5214 and 3
55:53That is the best record
55:55In the NBA
55:56From that point
55:572 tonight
55:58And they've worked
55:59Themselves into the
56:0010th spot
56:01Into the play-in
56:02Giving themselves
56:03A shot at the playoffs
56:04They're 8 back
56:05From the 6th spot
56:06But listen
56:07We're in late January
56:09Anything is possible
56:10With the way
56:11The NBA season
56:12Is going
56:12That finishes
56:13Going to the break right now
56:15So you have a lot of
56:16Confidence in this team
56:17And they have them
56:17Themselves
56:18As you see
56:18It's a great win by them
56:20Wasn't that fun
56:21That was a fun game
56:22That was fun
56:22There's a lot
56:23When the stars play
56:25It just
56:26It just gives you
56:28A full feeling
56:29Right
56:29And unfortunately
56:31Sometimes that is not
56:32The case
56:32But tonight it was
56:34They were all out
56:35The stars
56:35Were out in Hollywood
56:37Here comes LeBron
56:38To D. Wade
56:38The teammates

56:536 assists
56:54Alright

56:57For the Clippers
56:58Over the Lakers
56:59Taking a
57:002-1 series lead
57:01And let's send it over
57:02To Allie Clifton
57:03Thanks so much Kevin
57:04James before we dive in
57:06How are you feeling
57:07Right now
57:07I'll be alright
57:08Basketball
57:10We got a couple days
57:11In between games
57:12I'll be alright
57:12That's called toughness
57:13They don't call it
57:14Rivalry week for nothing
57:16Whether you want to
57:17Lean into it or not
57:18What'd this one take
57:19To get it done
57:19We knew it was gonna be
57:21A four quarter game
57:22You know
57:22I think we got up
57:2320-something at halftime
57:24And
57:24We knew they were gonna
57:26Make a run
57:26You know
57:27We just had to
57:27Withheld it
57:27And continue to execute
57:29Offensively
57:30Defensively
57:30Get stops
57:31And
57:31We did just enough
57:32It goes without saying
57:33But after missing
57:34His last three
57:35Kawhi's return
57:36What stood out
57:37To you the most
57:38With his performance
57:39What stood out
57:41To you most
57:41With Kawhi's performance
57:42And his return
57:43He was able to miss games
57:45And come back
57:46And
57:46They're like
57:47He hasn't missed games
57:49You know
57:50He's so special
57:51When he's on the court
57:51You know what I mean
57:52So
57:52Tonight was
57:53As big as we needed him
57:54After coming off a road trip
57:56And
57:56You know
57:57He showed up
57:58For you
57:5918-10-7
58:00Big Zoo told me
58:02That you were a magician
58:03At halftime
58:04When the Lakers
58:05Cut it to two
58:05You hit that three
58:06And brought stability
58:07Why are you able
58:08To give this team
58:08What they need
58:09When it matters most
58:10That's my job
58:11You know what I mean
58:12Like
58:12Whether it's
58:13You know
58:13Passing a basketball
58:14Scoring a basketball
58:15Whatever it takes to win
58:16And that's kind of
58:17The mindset that
58:17You know
58:18For me
58:18It's been all season
58:19So
58:19You know
58:21Whether I gotta go out there
58:22And score 40
58:22Or get 10 assists
58:23And win the game
58:24You know
58:25I'm willing to do that
58:25So
58:26Tonight was a good game for us
58:27One final for you
58:28You guys have now won
58:2914 of your last 17
