00:30Monday night game with Hall of Famers Grant Hill and Doris Burke.
00:34This is Brian Anderson.
00:35Joining us from the sidelines, Ali LaForce.
00:39Here's a look at some stats for Franz Wagner.
00:42And he's had a rough past five games.
00:44He's had trouble finding his offensive rhythm and just hasn't been as effective as he'd like to be on that end.
00:49But this is something all players go through, and I'm sure he'll fight his way back.
00:53Now the starting group for the visitors.
00:56They've got Keon Ellis.
00:57Rui Hachimura is out there with Andre Drummond.
01:00Then there's Torian Prince.
01:01And it's Gillespie in at the one.
01:04And for the Magic, Wagner and Bancaro, the lethal frontcourt pair.
01:08Then it's Wendell Carter.
01:09Then it's Suggs.
01:10And it's Howard in at the two.
01:12Compared to the old days, Doris, it feels like rookies these days get more playing time right away.
01:18You're right, B.A., and it doesn't matter if they're still in their team years.
01:22It comes down to, are you the most talented player, or are you considered a foundational piece, and we want to get you repetition right away.
01:31Jalen Suggs has all the attributes necessary to be a three-level score.
01:36That means the mid-range must be pure.
01:39Show him, Jalen.
01:40Prince.
01:41Count it.
01:41One for one to start the game.
01:43Oh, how about the dime?
01:45You love that unselfishness.
01:51Bancaro outside.
01:53Uses the glass on the layup.
01:56Oh, too big, too strong.
01:57It'll take more than that to stop Bancaro.
02:02Ellis left side.
02:03Pass to Prince.
02:06Ellis good.
02:08Just taking it right to the rim.
02:10And no one was there to greet him.
02:11But I think defensively, that is not the way you want to start.
02:15Giving up high percentage looks, that doesn't typically end well.
02:19Now here's Faulkner.
02:20His offense has been fantastic.
02:23Averaging just over 17 a game.
02:25Here's Prince.
02:28Achimura outside.
02:32Pass to Prince.
02:33Now Ellis.
02:37Over Howard.
02:38The rebound by Carter.
02:41Oh, the defense very willing to live with that mid-range jumper.
02:45Wagner.
02:45The pass to Bancaro.
02:51Three-pointer.
02:53The shot won't fall.
02:55Gone two of three from the floor.
02:57Well, it's hard to stop a 6'10 wing who can handle and play through contact.
03:02And the Magic have two of them grand.
03:03Yeah, the number is remarkably similar for Paolo Bancaro and Franz Wagner.
03:08Bancaro is stronger and more of a rebounder.
03:10But both of them are stars.
03:14Orlando again missing.
03:18Back to Ellis.
03:20Pass to Achimura.
03:22Here's Drummond.
03:23Soft touch off the glass.
03:26This is what we call strength from a veteran big man.
03:29Andre Drummond, no stranger to taking punishment and scoring through it.
03:34Now here's Bancaro.
03:36Against Chicago, he was really on his game.
03:39Boy, that's an example of a player taking what the defense gives you.
03:43Just doesn't work out in his favor, right?
03:45He misses the shot.
03:46Shot is good by Gillespie.
03:48And that's what they want to do.
03:50Get him open looks early.
03:52And so now a timeout called by Jamal Mosley.
03:55He might have seen something he needs to review with his guys.
03:57Yeah, they were able to execute offensively in a hostile environment,
04:01which led to a lot of high-percentage shots.
04:03Well, I'm sure they're still enjoying that one.
04:06You love going into a tough building, tough place to play,
04:09and shooting the lights out.
04:11Nothing like silencing the crowd.
04:27On defense, the visiting team.
04:29It's a five-point game.
04:33Pass to Wagner.
04:35Will it go?
04:36It's tipped.
04:37Latourian Prince has the kind of length and speed to close the gap and send it back.
04:42What a block.
04:45Back to Ellis.
04:46Here's Drummond.
04:47He's checked by Carter.
04:4911 feet out.
04:51The shot by Drummond.
04:52No good.
04:54Orlando has gone 0 for 3 from downtown.
04:56Here's Howard.
04:57Plenty of space.
04:58And another miss by Orlando.
05:00He'd like to see more effective ball movement there.
05:03Well, there's no doubt there were better options on the floor,
05:06but it certainly seemed like he had his mind made up.
05:09And they've settled in quickly today.
05:11A nice flowing rhythm to their offense.
05:14They need something good to happen here.
05:17Yeah, they've gone way too long without a score.
05:19And Ben Carroll gets it to go.
05:21He can play big and tough.
05:23I mean, Ben Carroll bangs his way in.
05:28Pass to Drummond.
05:32Here's Achimura.
05:34And that one's long.
05:35Well, that's surprising.
05:36This guy is a good mid-range shooter.
05:38Just can't get it to go.
05:41And Ben Carroll with the bucket.
05:43And the assist by Wagner.
05:45Ben Carroll's got 6.
05:47Apollo, Ben Carroll, so assertive in the paint.
05:49You love to watch that guy work down there.
05:53Here's Drummond.
05:55And that one's good.
05:57That makes him 2 for 3.
05:58Oh, beautiful pass.
06:00My goodness.
06:02Magic trail by 5.
06:05Wagner, the pass to Carter.
06:07The 3 from Ben Carroll.
06:09Gets the trifecta.
06:11He's got 9.
06:13And Ben Carroll has some range already.
06:15I mean, I want to see him continue to drain these shots.
06:21Pass to Gillespie.
06:22Hachimura outside.
06:26To the paint.
06:29Here's Drummond.
06:30And from the field after that one.
06:323 for 4 now.
06:37And so Wagner will bring it up for the Orlando Magic.
06:40Well, they put up a nice win against Chicago last time out.
06:42And that one, the other team could not keep up with them offensively.
06:46They were prolific.
06:48Well, let's give some credit to the coaching staff as well.
06:51Recognizing the weaknesses in that defense and going after each one of them.
06:56Oh, nice one-handed jam, BPA.
06:58Hey, a little exclamation point.
07:01Unloads from 13.
07:03He squares up and sinks it.
07:05Well, they're still losing, but it's not because of him.
07:08He's been lights out this quarter.
07:10And the visitors call time here.
07:19A line change here for Orlando.
07:23Let's have a look at the teams who have been shooting the ball the most consistently these past 10 games.
07:28Boy, they've been hot.
07:29You love to see this kind of offensive execution.
07:39Got 8 out of 12 shots to fall.
07:42Drummond passes to Gillespie.
07:44James outside.
07:45And here's Drummond.
07:47Back to James.
07:50Down low.
07:51Good efficiency.
07:53He's drained 4 out of 5.
07:54I'll tell you, I wouldn't want to draw Drummond as my assignment inside.
07:59You body him up, hack him, it still has no effect on him.
08:03Now here's Jones.
08:05Drummond grabs the miss.
08:06I love how they've attacked the boards here in the first quarter.
08:10Over to the wing.
08:16Got it.
08:17Drummond's got 10 points.
08:19Their offense is really humming right now.
08:21And it's because of the beautiful ball distribution.
08:24A chance here to catch up with Allie from the sidelines.
08:27Thanks a lot, guys.
08:28The Magic are building something.
08:30Caliban Karo said, quote, it's been a long time coming.
08:33The fans have been waiting for the Magic to be good and to be challengers.
08:36Even contenders.
08:38There is a lot of excitement in the city right now.
08:40We're just building and feeding off of that.
08:42Back to you.
08:43They've got their fans fired up.
08:44All right.
08:45Thank you, Allie.
08:46Here's Achimura.
08:47And it falls.
08:48Two for three from the field so far.
08:50That's 10 straight points they've given up in the painted area.
08:53Huh?
08:58There's 53 seconds left in the first.
09:00Pass to Bogner.
09:02And there are the Magic with another bucket.
09:06Moe Bogner is a very capable shooter.
09:08And it doesn't matter what kind of situation it is.
09:11That time gets into his catch and shoot back.
09:13Now here's Filipowski.
09:15Coming in off 12 points in his last outing.
09:18And sends it home with some passion.
09:21I think he's rubbing it in a little bit here.
09:23Hanging up there like that.
09:24Magic trail by eight.
09:28Inside.
09:29Here's Bogner.
09:31Great start so far.
09:32Three of three in this one.
09:33Wow.
09:34You can't let Bogner get established like that.
09:36If he does, scoring is easy.
09:39James passes to Gillespie.
09:41Now here's Achimura.
09:43Snatched away.
09:48Black outside.
09:51Oh, it's stolen by Achimura.
09:53And here comes the break.
09:57Oh, and he got fouled on his way up.
09:59He'll head to the line to shoot two.
10:13And he knocks down the first one.
10:23Both shots good from the strike.
10:34Bogner looking it over.
10:36Oh, he got it up in time.
10:37But it wouldn't fall for him.
10:39Offense is coming free and easy as we wrap up the first.
10:43Leading by eight.
10:44Don't go away.
10:45We'll be back with the second quarter in just a moment.
10:53Hope you've enjoyed the broadcast so far.
11:02Halfway through the first half in this one.
11:04And what do you guys think about the visitors here in this one?
11:07Well, they've used the fast break well to score easy points
11:10and keep the defense unsettled.
11:12And we know this.
11:13Every team in the league now seems to be looking to play with pace.
11:17Shooting has been ridiculous.
11:2375% on this game.
11:25We've got Filipowski and its battle in at the small forward position.
11:29Here's James.
11:31Count that one.
11:32He drops yet another dive.
11:34Just facilitating this offense like a maestro.
11:38Magic trail by 10.
11:42Black outside.
11:44Pass to Bogner.
11:45To the middle.
11:47And the dunk by Bogner.
11:49Well, the big man, Moe Bogner, getting to it.
11:52Nice finish.
11:53Bogner's gone 4-4 from the field.
11:55Perfect so far.
11:57And it's battle missing.
12:00Orlando shooting 53%.
12:02Good efficiency on offense so far.
12:04Here's De Silva.
12:08Back to Bogner.
12:11From 12 feet.
12:13The rebound by Filipowski.
12:17Pass to Gay.
12:17Pass to Gay.
12:19That falls.
12:20Nice feed that time from James.
12:23Gay's got his first two points of the night.
12:25And the defense has no one to blame but themselves.
12:28They just let him get right to the rim.
12:31To me, this is simply stated.
12:32It's been a complete lack of defensive attention and focus all night long.
12:37A strong finish to cut into that lead a little.
12:40Man, left no doubt with that one, Grant.
12:42Come on, Grant.
12:45Filipowski for three.
12:47Orlando with the rebound.
12:50Black outside.
12:56Pass to De Silva.
12:57Oh, he finds himself wide open and drills it.
13:03De Silva's got his first points of the game.
13:05Boy, Franz Bogner, such a tremendous passer.
13:08And the visitors call time here.
13:17Now that we're into November, let's see how the Eastern Conference standings are shaken out.
13:23Take a look at the visitors here.
13:24Early on, they've got the third best record.
13:27And check it out, Orlando.
13:29Three and a half games behind.
13:34We're now about two minutes into the second quarter.
13:38It's James on the wing.
13:40Back to Achimura.
13:41Ellis outside.
13:43Pass to Prince.
13:47Achimura outside.
13:52It's rebounded by Batase.
13:53But the defense hanging in right there, making that shot really difficult.
13:58Bogner, ooh, is locked in.
14:00Dreams his fifth shot in his many attempts.
14:03Very little resistance around the rim right now.
14:06That's the fifth straight bucket.
14:07They've given up in the paint.
14:08James passes to Prince.
14:11And here's Filipowski.
14:13Batase covering.
14:14And he hits it and gets hacked.
14:16A three-point chance here if he can convert.
14:19And you have to love the focus.
14:21He gets hit, but converts it anyway.
14:24All right, on the line, we've got our insider, Shams Charania.
14:27What do you have for us, Shams?
14:28Well, guys, this summer saw the first ever seven-team trade in the NBA.
14:33You might wonder why it makes sense to involve so many parties.
14:36But basically, teams have more flexibility.
14:38Salary-wise, they need multi-team deals.
14:40It is enough to make your head spin, guys.
14:43This is where things are headed.
14:44Big moves.
14:45Okay, Shams, thanks for the update.
14:48Now here's Ben Carroll.
14:49He's got 11.
14:51And no good.
14:55Hachimura finds James.
15:00Hachimura outside.
15:02Pass to Filipowski.
15:06Six to shoot.
15:08Hachimura outside.
15:09Over Ben Carroll.
15:11And it's Hachimura missing.
15:14Magic trail by seven.
15:19Black, right side.
15:22Shoots from 12.
15:24Misses that shot.
15:25Struggling now.
15:26Shooting one for eight.
15:27Boy, he just doesn't have it here tonight.
15:29And it's had a ripple effect on this team.
15:33Pass to James.
15:39Here's Prince.
15:40Solid as a rock from 20 feet out.
15:45The Magic have gone four for seven in the second quarter.
15:49Here's Wagner.
15:50And the dog by Wagner.
15:52I tell you, don't be surprised when Franz Wagner gets up above the rim and finishes.
15:57This guy loves to attack the basket.
15:59Back to James.
16:01Ellis right side.
16:07Hachimura outside.
16:08James.
16:09James outside.
16:13And they pick up two.
16:15James has gotten four this quarter.
16:17Well, Rui Hachimura has a chance to set up a teammate and look at the delivery.
16:21Well done.
16:22And so now a timeout called by Jamal Mosley.
16:25He's going to take a minute to regroup with his players.
16:28Orlando making some changes.
16:30Wendell Carter.
16:30He's checked in for Bataze.
16:32Howard comes in for Da Silva.
16:33And it's Jalen Suggs in for Black.
16:48And Suggs has got the ball here for the Orlando Magic.
16:51They trail by nine.
16:53And it doesn't get any easier than that, guys.
16:55Carter Jr. gets the position he wants and goes to town.
17:00Here's Prince.
17:01We saw him with 19 his last timeout.
17:04Ellis' shot is off.
17:05Oh, the analytics department is smiling after that one.
17:10And he lobs it up top.
17:11And it's slammed in by Carter.
17:14In his vicinity.
17:15I promise you, Carter Jr. is going to catch the basketball.
17:18Woo-hoo-hoo!
17:19Gillespie passes to Achimura.
17:24Over Bencaro.
17:25And it's Achimura missing.
17:27Boy, if he ever finds his footing, he'll be in even better shape.
17:30Right now, his teammate's carrying him.
17:35Orlando moving the ball around.
17:38Picked by Carter.
17:40Wagner, the pass to Carter.
17:42It's intercepted!
17:44Fast break.
17:45Here we go!
17:47Pass to Gillespie.
17:49Ellis on the wing.
17:52Over Howard.
17:53And he gets the friendly roll as that one goes.
17:56Ellis has got six.
17:58Magic trail by seven.
18:03Now Suggs.
18:04He's averaging just around eight and a half points a game.
18:07I love this game plan.
18:09That's ten points in a row from the close.
18:14Pass to Drummond.
18:16It's Prince on the wing.
18:19Ellis on the wing.
18:21Now Drummond.
18:22Two minutes remaining.
18:24Two minutes.
18:26Achimura in the post.
18:27Working on Bencaro.
18:29And down it goes.
18:30Two points.
18:31Well, the finishing ability of Rui Hachimura on display.
18:34This guy has a knack for getting around defenders and into his groove.
18:38He picks the exact right moment to get himself a clear line to the basket.
18:43And the visitors call time here.
18:44And the visitors call time here.
19:00Blacks checked in for Orlando.
19:01And how about the all-around game of this group of players?
19:06Here are the assist leaders among the big so far this season.
19:10Rui Hachimura on top.
19:11So impressive to see someone at his size who can pass the way he does.
19:16He really gives his team an interesting edge on the floor.
19:20Gillespie passes to Drummond.
19:23Here's Gillespie.
19:25It's Prince on the wing.
19:28Over Howard.
19:30The bank shot.
19:31No good.
19:31Hard to turn down a look that good.
19:34Still, long twos are losing favor.
19:37And misses like that are the reason why.
19:39Jalen Suggs at his best.
19:41It's a real dangerous threat in the open floor.
19:44Here's Drummond.
19:45Following the three-point basket by Orlando.
19:47To the inside.
19:50It's Prince on the wing.
19:52Over Howard.
19:53Prince can't hit.
19:55Boy, that mid-range area.
19:56He just didn't look comfortable.
19:57Let's be honest.
20:00The three from Suggs.
20:02No luck on that one.
20:03Well, despite the miss,
20:04obviously the shot this offense looking to generate is exactly that.
20:14That's to Prince.
20:15Shot on the wing.
20:16Boy, he clanks that one off the back iron and it falls.
20:20Prince has got six points.
20:22Well, just tremendous instincts from Prince.
20:23Feeling the defense.
20:25Getting loose.
20:25Getting into his catch-and-shoot game.
20:27Nicely done.
20:28Oh, what ferocity on the throwdown.
20:31I just love when he goes up with purpose.
20:34Where was the D right there?
20:35The effort lacking big time.
20:38Yeah, and give him credit for taking advantage in a close game.
20:41Those are the types of plays that can swing things in your direction.
20:48Suggs, left side.
20:53And Carroll outside.
20:57Let's it go from deep.
20:59He can't get it to go.
21:01He got it up.
21:03The shot no good.
21:04And the first half comes to an end.
21:06We've got a close game going here.
21:08They lead by four.
21:10And don't go away.
21:11After the break, we'll see you right back here for the start of quarter number three.
21:14Hi, folks.
21:35It's shaping up to be a good second half as we've seen the Orlando Magic trying to take control of this game.
21:41They've done everything they can to shoot their way out of this contest.
21:45Somehow, they're still in it.
21:47Got to make the most of that opportunity.
21:50It just takes a few to fall to open up the floodgates.
21:55And time now to talk injuries.
21:58Here's what this team is dealing with.
21:59This is big losing bang.
22:02Probably one of the strongest knockdown three-point shooters in the league.
22:06Rare combination.
22:07Not easily replaced.
22:08Yeah, and he goes on streaks that win them games.
22:11That element won't be there now.
22:15And that's it for halftime.
22:16Thank you for joining us.
22:18We send you back to Brian Anderson for the start of the third quarter.
22:20We've got second half action for you.
22:37And if the next couple of quarters are similar to the first, this one could go down to the last possession.
22:43Paolo Bancaro with a strong contribution so far in this one.
22:46Through the first two quarters, he's been on fire.
22:50Explosive offensive performance.
22:52Boy, he has been shouldering the load.
22:54Aggressive, skilled, talented, and thus far unstoppable.
23:10Bancaro and Carter Jr. make up the front court.
23:13Then there's Wagner.
23:14Then it's Suggs.
23:15And it's Howard in a two-guard.
23:17So that's who Jamal Mosley starts the second half with.
23:21And Orlando attacks on two more.
23:24Coaches love assisted buckets, boy.
23:27It just means the team is working well together.
23:29Gives us a chance to catch up with Allie LaForce.
23:33Paolo Bancaro is trying to become more vocal.
23:36He said, being the best player on the team, you've got to speak up.
23:39You can't ever be quiet because at the end of the day, I'm a high-Q player.
23:43I see the game really well, and if I'm not out there talking the game, it's doing everyone a disservice.
23:47Back over to you guys.
23:49Outstanding.
23:50Allie, we appreciate the report.
23:51And Bancaro gets it to go.
23:53And I think we're going to see a lot of nights like this from Bancaro.
23:57He is built to score and never seems to take a playoff.
24:00Ellis outside.
24:02Pass to Prince.
24:04Back to Ellis.
24:06Here's Gillespie.
24:08On the wing, Achimura.
24:10Now here's Drummond.
24:11He's checked by Carter.
24:13Shot clock at six.
24:17Shot is good by Gillespie.
24:20Gillespie's got five now.
24:22Probably a play they drew up in the locker room at half.
24:24Well, there is nothing better than catching a rhythm as early as possible.
24:29And boy, that's a terrific start right there.
24:31Oh, Bancaro throws it down.
24:34Ooh, getting up there.
24:36I mean, Bancaro wants everyone to know he's a threat to hammer it down.
24:42Inside.
24:43Here's Drummond.
24:44And he floats it in for the easy two.
24:47Credit the sweet setup on that one.
24:49Boy, this guy making the most of his chances here.
24:51Really giving his team a lift.
24:53Pass to Howard.
24:56And there's the screen.
24:58From downtown.
24:59And again.
25:01It's the magic from deep.
25:02Brilliant second half start.
25:04Four for four from the field.
25:05Can't ask for any better.
25:07Gotten two of four shots to go since the break.
25:11Here's Gillespie.
25:12He's covered by Suggs.
25:17Ellis outside.
25:18And they waste no time getting those three points back.
25:22He's got nine.
25:23Both teams are starting to find a rhythm here.
25:27And this is partly what the game has become, right?
25:29A matter of dueling three-point opportunities.
25:33And so now a timeout called by Jamal Mosley.
25:35And we might see some changes.
25:37Coach potentially looking to adjust.
25:39A little under two and a half minutes gone by in the third quarter.
25:56Wagner, the pass to Bancaro.
25:57Bancaro.
25:58Yes!
25:59Bancaro fighting for two.
26:01When every aspect of his game is moving and working, Paolo Bancaro very difficult to handle.
26:07Pass to Gillespie.
26:08Hachimura outside.
26:15Hachimura outside.
26:17Here's Prince.
26:20Just five to shoot.
26:22Shoots.
26:24And it's Hachimura missing.
26:27And so it's Suggs.
26:28He brings it up for the Orlando Magic.
26:30They lead by one.
26:34Orlando moving the ball around.
26:37Drummond grabs the miss.
26:39Gotten three of six shots to fall so far in the third.
26:42Let's it go from the wing.
26:44Prince with the bucket.
26:45Prince has got ten.
26:47Veltorian Prince making the jump shot look easy right there.
26:50Boy, is he confident.
26:52Right wing.
26:52There's Howard with the three.
26:56On target from range.
26:59And the Magic lead by two.
27:01Here in the second half, this game still nip and tuck.
27:04Just an insane amount of lead changes.
27:06The fans are getting their money's worth.
27:08Gillespie hits the three-pointer.
27:11Gillespie's got five points in the quarter.
27:13For a guy who's known for his perimeter shooting, that is a great look.
27:19Bancaro outside.
27:22And Bancaro finishes with force inside.
27:27What you love about Paolo is he can go left or right.
27:31And the score off the bounce is just on point.
27:34And the visitors call time here.
27:41Filipowski, he's checked in for Achimura.
27:44Here are the best on the boards.
27:47The league's best rebounding teams.
27:49And I love how active they all are on the glass.
27:52When a shot goes up, this team takes a game-rebounding approach to tracking down their boards.
27:58Gone three of four from distance in this game.
28:02Gillespie passes to Ellis.
28:07Here's Gillespie.
28:08He's covered by Suggs.
28:09And the basket is good.
28:1114 points for him.
28:13Andre Drummond percolating right now on the offensive end.
28:17Look out!
28:17Here's Bancaro.
28:22Bancaro from close range.
28:24You can see the team is just continuing to call his number.
28:28Until the defense figures it out, it ain't gonna change.
28:33Drummond passes to Gillespie.
28:35Here's Ellis.
28:39He drops it from range.
28:41Ellis has got 12.
28:43Another lead change.
28:45Give these teams credit.
28:46They're really fighting it out.
28:48Neither team willing to give an inch.
28:50And neither able to seize the momentum.
28:53This has been a fascinating one to watch.
28:56Now here's Ellis.
28:5712 points for him.
28:59Friends.
29:00The pass to Ellis.
29:01Oh, he trains it.
29:02His sixth make and nine tries so far.
29:05When you watch Torian Prince play, you know it's about team.
29:08This guy finds the open man and loves delivering it.
29:12To the middle.
29:13Here's Bancaro.
29:14Oh, and makes it with the kiss.
29:16Bancaro's got 13 in the second half.
29:19And he's coming off a huge performance.
29:21And his confidence couldn't be any higher.
29:24And his coach knows that too.
29:25Well, the best players to me deliver night after night after night.
29:30So as long as he's hot, keep riding it.
29:33Now here's Wagner.
29:34Pass to Howard.
29:37And it's Howard finishing it off.
29:41Did you see that?
29:42Look at the elevation on that dunk, B.A.
29:45Man, he just cocked it back and fired it down with one hand.
29:49Here's Gillespie.
29:51Give him eight.
29:51Here's Drummond.
29:53The rebound by Carter.
29:55Carter's got a rebound.
29:57Number five here tonight.
29:58Here's Bancaro.
29:59Taking the contact.
30:01Bancaro.
30:02And force-feeding the ball inside.
30:04I mean, no reason to go away from what's working.
30:07Gone four or five from outside the arc in this one.
30:11Takes the three.
30:13That one's good.
30:14Seven for ten now.
30:16And the defense is really allowing them too much room on the perimeter.
30:21And so now a timeout called by Jamal Mosley.
30:24He's going to take a moment to give him a breather and talk things over.
30:35And this is it.
30:36It's now a score.
30:37Orlando with the ball.
30:59It's a one-point game.
31:00Black outside.
31:07Off the mark with a little step back.
31:09Jay.
31:10Gone five of six from three-point land so far.
31:13Here's Achimura.
31:14And it's slammed in by Achimura.
31:17Wow.
31:18The ability to get off your feet in a hurry.
31:20Rui Hachimura with the dunk.
31:23Orlando has gotten all three from downtown so far in the second half.
31:2644 seconds left in the third quarter of the game.
31:35And it's Black penetrating.
31:36Down low.
31:37And Lataze throws it down.
31:40Making sure of it with the two-man slam, B.A.
31:42Yeah, I don't blame him.
31:43With the score this tight, you cannot take a chance here.
31:46Black.
31:48Wagner with a steal.
31:53Black outside.
31:54On the wing, Richardson.
31:58Deflected.
32:00All alone on the break.
32:03And he's going to the line for two.
32:05The official saw contact while he was going up.
32:09That's on Moe Wagner.
32:10The skill set of Rui Hachimura is enticing, guys.
32:14A big man who can stretch the floor with a shooting.
32:17Obviously of huge value in the modern game.
32:24First free throw is good.
32:26And both free throws good for Hachimura.
32:51Black outside to the paint.
32:53Here's Wagner.
32:56And Orlando tacks on two more.
32:58Just love the unselfishness there.
33:01Keep the ball moving.
33:02Good things happen.
33:04That takes us to the end of the third quarter.
33:07What a game.
33:08Neither team giving ground.
33:10They're up by one.
33:11And we'll have the start of the fourth quarter for you
33:13as soon as we get back from this short break.
33:16And it's been a very competitive game so far
33:29as we get rolling here in quarter number four.
33:36Orlando trailing here.
33:37They've got James.
33:39Rui Hachimura is out there with Kyle Filipowski.
33:41And it's Gay in at the power forward position.
33:45We've got five of seven threes to drop here tonight.
33:48Here's Filipowski.
33:49Takes it inside.
33:50And you can feel the temperature rising in this arena.
33:54Both teams pouring it on offensively.
33:57There's been a bit of a flurry here late.
33:59And this game may come down to which side gets a stop or two.
34:03Black no good.
34:04Well, stay attached.
34:06Affect the quality of the shot.
34:07That is excellent interior defense.
34:10Here's Hachimura.
34:12Misses off the right iron.
34:14Hachimura's gone 40% from the floor in 10 attempts.
34:18Pass to Black.
34:20With the drive.
34:22Here's De Silva to tie it up.
34:24Another miss by Orlando.
34:26Fourth quarter just getting started.
34:28One minute in the books.
34:30And it's Hachimura missing.
34:32Magic trail by three.
34:36Here's Faulkner.
34:37Uses the glass to finish the layup.
34:39That's about simply playing hard.
34:41Faulkner doing what it takes to find a shot in the interior.
34:46Pass to Filipowski.
34:50James.
34:51Outside.
34:53Here's Larson.
34:54Defended by Faulkner.
34:55Larson with the bucket.
34:57Larson's gotten himself going with a triple.
34:59His first basket of the game.
35:00And they keep attacking from the three-point range here in the second half.
35:04Here's Black.
35:08Can't nail the jumper.
35:11Gone six of eight from the three-point line in this matchup.
35:14Here's Gay.
35:14The shot's good on the assist by James.
35:18James has got his fifth assist in this one.
35:21Here's Faulkner.
35:22And the dunk by Wagner.
35:24This continues to be a battle.
35:26The lead is within reach.
35:28Yeah, but that's been elusive.
35:30They've missed a few plays along the way that they'd love to have back.
35:34Now here's Filipowski.
35:36Here's James.
35:37And the foul on Kyle Filipowski.
35:40That's his first foul of the game.
35:42Just a little too eager for that rebound.
35:44As a result, he gets called for the over the back.
35:47To me, that's just a case of being too aggressive.
35:50You're out of position.
35:51Don't compound the problem by committing that foul.
35:54Orlando making a switch here.
35:56That carol's checked in.
35:58Count that bucket.
35:59Hey, they're just getting pushed around inside.
36:01A touch under.
36:02Two and a half minutes of pass now here in the fourth.
36:05Pass to Filipowski.
36:07And here's Achimura.
36:08Here's James.
36:12Orlando with the rebound.
36:14De Silva's got four rebounds now.
36:17Now Wagner.
36:18To tie it up.
36:20And a foul called on the way up.
36:22So he'll take two from the free throw line.
36:25It goes on Kyle Filipowski.
36:27This is why you have got to be disciplined when guarding Franz Wagner.
36:31This guy is so adept at drawing contact.
36:38Makes it.
36:41And the next one could tie it up.
36:43Franz Wagner so fundamentally sound.
36:46This guy is so clever.
36:47Plays with a ton of energy.
36:49Jalen Suggs has checked in forward to Silva.
36:51That one drops.
36:56He ties it up.
36:57So critical that your big men be able to shoot free throws at a high rate.
37:03Here's Gillespie.
37:05And it's good for two.
37:07And you want him taking good shots at this point in the game.
37:10And that one was easy.
37:12Boy, when it's this close, you try not to give up these kinds of buckets.
37:16Boy, you've got to do better defensively.
37:17Now here's Black.
37:19Pass to Suggs.
37:22Back to Black.
37:23To take the lead.
37:26Prince grabs the miss.
37:28Gone.
37:29Four of seven from the field in the fourth quarter.
37:32Puts up a three.
37:34Not going to go that time.
37:36Orlando has gone.
37:370 for two from outside here in the fourth quarter.
37:39Black.
37:40Here's Wagner.
37:42Prince grabs the miss.
37:44Prince has got five rebounds tonight.
37:47Hachimura.
37:47The pass to Drummond.
37:48In close.
37:51Now Ellis.
37:52Let's go with a three.
37:54It's rebounded by Wagner.
37:56Wagner's got six rebounds now in the game.
38:03Played it in with a nice touch off the window.
38:06Wagner's got six here in the quarter.
38:09They're winning the battle down low by imposing their will.
38:13Gillespie passes to Prince.
38:16Now here's Ellis.
38:21Orlando with the rebound.
38:23Suggs has got his fourth rebound in this one.
38:26Could take the lead.
38:27Hey, in six attempts.
38:28He's made five.
38:29Talk about efficiency.
38:31He hasn't been quick enough to react to the ball inside.
38:34That's helped cause this run.
38:37Ellis outside.
38:38Prince, the pass to Ellis.
38:43The three ball.
38:45Orlando with the rebound.
38:48Wagner for three.
38:51Offensive rebound.
38:52Launches it.
38:54The shot misses.
38:55He might be forcing things a little bit right now.
38:58Credit the defense for how they're playing him.
39:01Suggs outside.
39:05No one near him.
39:07Oksimura there for the rebound.
39:10He's gotten six of 11 threes to go in this game.
39:14That's what he wanted.
39:16Rui Hachimura doesn't shy away from the pressure and he delivers.
39:22And we've got a timeout from Jamal Mosley.
39:24He wants to make sure everyone is aligned.
39:27Given the situation right now.
39:32Carter, he's checked in for Orlando.
39:34Howard comes in for Black.
39:36And let's swing it over to the sideline and hear from Allie.
39:39Hi, guys.
39:40Well, Jamal Mosley was just reviewing the plan with his team.
39:43Coach had a clear message for his team.
39:45He said, quote, let's finish the job out there.
39:47It's ours for the taking if we can just get it done.
39:50So it sounds like he's hoping they can close out this game strong, guys.
39:53Thanks for that, Allie.
39:55Knocks down the trifecta.
39:57Their long-range shooting since halftime has been as strong as you could hope for.
40:02Gone only one of four from the perimeter here in this fourth quarter.
40:06Oh, he goes to the glass with that one.
40:09Oh, Andre Drummond in a big moment with a big bucket.
40:14Yes, sir.
40:20A one-handed jam rocking the rim.
40:32Franz Wagner seizes the moment.
40:35Fearless in the face of pressure.
40:37Big-time shot.
40:40Here's Achimura.
40:41One-fifty-seven left to play in the fourth quarter of this one.
40:53Just four to shoot.
40:54Let's it go from 11.
40:56Yes, sir!
40:57Such a very consistent in-between shooter.
41:01The defense can't afford to let Hachimura get separation.
41:04Here's Suggs.
41:09Carter.
41:10Stamps it home!
41:12Carter Jr. demanding that he be the guy to deliver in the big-time goal.
41:18But okay, Wendell.
41:22To take the lead.
41:24Carter rips down the board.
41:26And so it's Suggs.
41:27He brings it up for Orlando.
41:29The lead is two.
41:31It's stolen by Ellis.
41:31And it looks like we've got an injury on the floor.
41:34Very unfortunate, as always, guys.
41:36Don't like to see this.
41:38And man, this really doesn't look good.
41:40Just the way it happened.
41:42Boy, it's got to be so frustrating for him.
41:44As hard as he has worked, doing everything he can to help his team.
41:49Just heartbreaking.
41:50Filipowski, he's checked in for Achimura.
41:52Hmm.
41:53Thanks for the lead.
41:54Ellis with it.
42:16He's against Howard.
42:18Yes, sir!
42:19That one's good!
42:21That's such a rarity these days.
42:23But Andre Drummond is a true five.
42:26The guy wants to work on the interior.
42:30Van Carroll.
42:32Ooh, it misses!
42:35Gone six for 12 from deep so far in this game.
42:41Here's Gillespie.
42:42Six on the shot clock.
42:52To take the lead!
42:54Wagner with the rebound!
42:57And so here's Orlando.
42:59Here's Carter.
43:00Ooh, nice setup for the slam!
43:03Big-time shot, sending his teammates into a friend's seat.
43:07I'll tell you, these guys have worked so hard together.
43:10Everyone pulling in the same direction.
43:12Beautiful to watch.
43:13And the visitors call time here.
43:16What do you think coach will be drawing up here?
43:19More than enough time to get a bucket.
43:21Well, they've got to be aggressive guys
43:22because the defense doesn't want to foul here.
43:25Carter against Drummond.
43:42Let's lose for three!
43:44Yes, sir!
43:45With the three!
43:46Boy, how about that pass?
43:48He put it right where it needed to be.
43:50And so, Jamal Mosley calls for the timeout.
43:53And a great call on his part.
43:56This is the time you want to be in sync right here.
43:59Obviously, not a lot of time to work with.
44:02What do you guys think we're going to see?
44:04It's always interesting to see what play a coach has saved
44:07for a situation like this.
44:08What you want is to create a clean, high-percentage look
44:12if that's at all possible.
44:20Now, here's Suggs.
44:23The visiting club takes the win on the road.
44:30And this was an emotional win for them.
44:32No doubt about it.
44:33Just a fantastic accomplishment.
44:36You love how they just diffuse the energy in this arena.
44:40And that'll wrap it up, folks.
44:41For Ali LaForce, Doris Burke, and Grant Hill,
44:44this is Brian Anderson alongside our 2K Sports crew
44:47thanking you for watching.
44:49And now, let's take a look at our player of the game,
44:52Andre Drummond.
44:53Let's take a look at our player of the game,
44:58and we'll see if we won with him.
45:02Let's go.
45:03Let's do it.
45:05Let's do it.
45:05Let's do it.
45:06Let's do it.
45:07Let's do it.
45:15Let's do it.
45:15Let's do it.
