00:01:02Shingun with 12 points just one
00:01:05rebound so far now a quick word
00:01:09from Pillsbury.
00:01:30Nearly four minutes gone by in this third quarter.
00:01:34Rockets by one.
00:01:36Duran driving, got right to the rim for two.
00:01:40Well, Nime Udoka again very disgusted.
00:01:43They've already given up 44 points in the paint.
00:01:48Good hands by Asar.
00:01:50Pistons three on two.
00:01:52Harris blocked by Durant.
00:01:55That's a great job getting back in transition by Durant
00:02:03and coming out with that block.
00:02:05It's eight turnovers now for the Rockets.
00:02:10Three blocks for Houston.
00:02:14They're sixth in the NBA in blocks per game.
00:02:18Cunningham.
00:02:20Eight points so far for Kane.
00:02:24Inside, Duran.
00:02:26Working on Durant.
00:02:27Little head fake.
00:02:28Couldn't find the angle.
00:02:29Duran.
00:02:30Likes the matchup.
00:02:42Pull up three.
00:02:43Yes!
00:02:48Fourth made three of the night.
00:02:50Harris comes right back.
00:02:52Tries to get one of his own but doesn't.
00:02:55And that's five fouls on Asar.
00:03:00It's going to bring Ron Holland into the game.
00:03:06You see the Pistons assistants all looking up at the big screen.
00:03:10I think they're thinking they maybe had a travel before.
00:03:14But no challenge coming from the Pistons.
00:03:18So, Asar will take a seat.
00:03:20Ten points on four of six shooting.
00:03:22Six rebounds.
00:03:25And now his brother, a man with the handle, gives it up to Shingun.
00:03:29Rockets trying to build on a two-point advantage.
00:03:33The largest lead has been 11 tonight.
00:03:37Duran, three more.
00:03:39Yes, sir!
00:03:41Well, that's not bad defense by Jalen Duran.
00:03:45I mean, that's a guy with great size just rising up and knocking down shots.
00:03:51Duran's fouled here.
00:03:53Kevin Durant has made five three-pointers in the ball game.
00:03:57Everyone else in this game has only made three.
00:03:59Yeah, well...
00:04:01Yeah, they are, teams are combined in eight for 35.
00:04:06And if you take him out of it, they're three for 26.
00:04:10The rest of the teams.
00:04:12Yeah.
00:04:14But Duran, to his credit, went right back and posted him at the other end.
00:04:20Kevin Durant sharing a laugh there with Luke Walton, who was part of the Warriors staff when KD was out there.
00:04:31When he was out there getting finals MVPs.
00:04:33Twice.
00:04:35Yeah, this guy's been torturing coaches on the other sideline for a long time.
00:04:43And he made Doka says what impresses him most about Kevin Durant, who's 37 years young and year number 18, is just the consistency.
00:04:51His approach day to day, going 110% with every pregame rep, every practice rep, and his paid dividends in game action.
00:05:01Here he is once again.
00:05:04He's hit back-to-back threes.
00:05:06Looking for a screen.
00:05:07Rejects it.
00:05:08And it's an offensive foul going against Capella.
00:05:11KD doesn't get an opportunity to get a shot up.
00:05:14Let's check in with Christina.
00:05:15And how about this?
00:05:16KD is third in the NBA in minutes per game at 37 years old in year 18.
00:05:22And you think that's impressive, but it really isn't to Kevin Durant.
00:05:25He told me, I get paid handsomely to make sure that I can get out here and do that.
00:05:29I want to leave it all out there on the floor.
00:05:32I got potential to play 48 minutes, and that's what I come in every game to prepare for.
00:05:37Well, and look, the Rockets have four of the top 20 guys in the league in minutes per game.
00:05:46The only starter not in that group is Akogi.
00:05:49The other four guys, Emei Adelka leans on his starters.
00:05:54Good ball movement here, but Shepard couldn't hit the shot.
00:05:57Shepard struggling tonight.
00:05:59One for nine.
00:06:000 for five from three.
00:06:03And he's a guy who's shooting they rely on.
00:06:06Yeah, he hit four three-pointers last night in that loss in Philadelphia.
00:06:10That's the midway mark of this third quarter.
00:06:16Second and final meeting of the season between these two teams.
00:06:20Robinson from deep.
00:06:22Won't go.
00:06:23Durant the rebound.
00:06:24The Pistons now two for 17 from three-point range.
00:06:29Tate got it off.
00:06:31Couldn't hit.
00:06:32Harris the ball.
00:06:36Tobias Harris accelerating.
00:06:39Blocked by Capella.
00:06:41Akogi running.
00:06:42Had it taken away by Cunningham.
00:06:44Holland over to Harris.
00:06:46No good.
00:06:47And Durant another board.
00:06:49His fourth of the ball game.
00:06:51The Pistons only four for 12 in the quarter.
00:06:54And they've missed all three of their threes.
00:07:01Tate.
00:07:02Hand off to Shepard.
00:07:03Fires again.
00:07:04That one drops.
00:07:06One thing I like about Shepard.
00:07:08He's struggling, but he's not hesitating.
00:07:11Eventually, a guy like that's got a great chance of getting on the run.
00:07:15Money sniper Kevin Durant.
00:07:20It's not just the efficiency and the precision.
00:07:23It's the passion.
00:07:24The competitive energy.
00:07:2637 years young.
00:07:28Sixth all time on the NBA scoring list.
00:07:32And still having a ball out there.
00:07:35He's really having a ball against the Pistons in the last eight games.
00:07:38Wow.
00:07:39Look at that.
00:07:40Almost 40 a game.
00:07:41And the shooting percentages tonight are even higher than what he's done in the last eight games.
00:07:44Against him.
00:07:4524 points in 25 minutes for Durant.
00:07:47Six point lead for the Rockets.
00:07:48Capella breaks it up.
00:07:49Two on two break.
00:07:50Okoge to step through.
00:07:51Floater won't go.
00:07:52And it's cleared by Durant.
00:07:53Houston's had good success.
00:07:54Blitzen.
00:07:55Cape Cunningham on the pick and low.
00:07:56Off the pocket pass.
00:07:57Durant can't hit the reverse.
00:07:58And Okoge will slow things down.
00:08:00Wow.
00:08:01This is one of the slower paced teams in the league.
00:08:02Houston 28th in the league.
00:08:03In pace.
00:08:04This is the tempo they want to play at.
00:08:05Particularly on the second night of the back to back.
00:08:09It looked good on the second night of a back to back.
00:08:10Durant.
00:08:11Again.
00:08:1226.
00:08:13Well this is Houston's fourth road back to back on the season.
00:08:14They haven't won the previous three.
00:08:1513-4 run for the Rockets.
00:08:16That's it.
00:08:17The last two break.
00:08:18The last two break.
00:08:19The second break.
00:08:20Houston 28th in the league.
00:08:21In pace.
00:08:22This is the tempo they want to play at.
00:08:23Particularly on the second night of a back to back.
00:08:24They have the second night of a back to back.
00:08:25Durant.
00:08:26Again.
00:08:2726.
00:08:28Well this is Houston's fourth road back to back on the season.
00:08:31They haven't won the previous three.
00:08:3213-4 run for the Rockets.

00:10:15He's had a number of games this season to your point, Stan, where he's started the game slow and then heated up.
00:10:20And amnesia is kind of an underrated quality in the NBA.
00:10:23It absolutely is.
00:10:24I'll tell you, that San Antonio game, he was probably the key player in the fourth quarter in that road win.
00:10:31A man can't hit the layup.
00:10:33Green the rebound.
00:10:34Pistons running.
00:10:35Holland to a cutting green.
00:10:37Got the finish with the left.
00:10:39We've said it several times tonight.
00:10:45That's Pistons basketball right there.
00:10:47Off a great defensive play, turning it into offense.
00:10:51Smith with the pull-up, Jay.
00:10:53This is the challenge right here for Detroit getting half-court offense going.
00:11:00Jenkins around a steward screen.
00:11:05Jenkins outside to green.
00:11:07Back outside.
00:11:08Jenkins in the corner.
00:11:10Hit drops.
00:11:10Jenkins, one of the best shooters on this team.
00:11:16He's a 40% three-point shooter.
00:11:19Makes his first three tonight.
00:11:23Pistons got down 11 early.
00:11:24Their reserves got them back in the ballgame.
00:11:26We're seeing the same thing here as Thompson goes high off the glass.
00:11:36Now, Sar can only look on with those five fouls.
00:11:39Ivy lines it up.
00:11:40And drains the trifecta.
00:11:45Well, Ivy now 10 for 21 from three over his last five games,
00:11:51including tonight, after going two for 17 in his previous five games.
00:11:56Very streaky, but when he gets it going with the quickness he has,
00:12:00he can be very effective offensively.
00:12:02How about Shepard?
00:12:04Just finding a way.
00:12:06I love guys who can shake off the bad shooting night,
00:12:09but not let it affect their confidence,
00:12:11and stay productive.
00:12:13Capella beating that one off the window.
00:12:16Shepard.
00:12:17It's Capella's third block of the night.
00:12:19Oh, Shepard with the finesse.
00:12:21Houston coming alive once again in this third quarter.
00:12:31There it is.
00:12:32Reed Shepard taking over.
00:12:35Great finish.
00:12:36list guests, big laughs, and can't miss commentary on good sports with Kevin and Keenan.
00:12:45New episodes every Tuesday, only on Prime.
00:12:48So I would call Kevin and Keenan are columns here on Prime.
00:12:56With teammates.
00:12:57Yes, that's what I would call them.
00:12:59Under 90 seconds to go here in the third.
00:13:04Houston building momentum here in the period.
00:13:06Stewart going to work, turns and puts it through.
00:13:11Stewart's been effective when they've gotten him the ball around the basket.
00:13:14He's done a great job finishing.
00:13:16Very patient down there.
00:13:18Not in a hurry.
00:13:19Nine points, four or five shooting for Isaiah Stewart.
00:13:24Capella finds a cutting.
00:13:26Thompson counted and put him on the line.
00:13:30Great cut by Amin Thompson, and an excellent pass from Clint Capella.
00:13:36Beautiful feed, and Thompson now with 12 points to go with seven boards and five assists.
00:13:53They're at a heavier burden this season.
00:13:56Land more of the point guard duties without Fred VanVleet.
00:13:59And this is now the largest lead of the ball game.
00:14:02Well, and it's at the free throw line.
00:14:03They've made 13 more free throws than Detroit to lead by 12.
00:14:07I mean, Detroit gives up the most free throw attempts in the league,
00:14:11and it's hurting them tonight.
00:14:14Jenkins lines it up.
00:14:16No good.
00:14:17Battle for the board.
00:14:19Green couldn't control it.
00:14:24And delay of game going against Detroit as that ball bounced into the fourth row.
00:14:33Houston 84, Detroit 72.
00:14:40A man over to Capella.
00:14:43Capella scores.
00:14:45Well, they didn't want to switch the pick and roll there
00:14:47because they didn't want to put Jaden Ivey on Durant.
00:14:50That allowed Amin Thompson to just get to the rim and create.
00:14:54This is Stewart lining it up.
00:14:59Won't go.
00:15:00I'm on a man climbing the ladder.
00:15:02Couldn't control it.
00:15:04And that one's out of bounds.
00:15:06It will stay with Detroit.
00:15:071.7 different shot and game clock.
00:15:11As Josh Okogie will check in for Houston.
00:15:15Pistons have won four games in a row.
00:15:17They've won seven of their last eight outings
00:15:21and in a 14-point deficit late here in the third.
00:15:30Jenkins engineering the offense with six seconds to go on the shot clock.
00:15:35Jenkins over to Ivey for three.
00:15:38Rims off.
00:15:40Capella with the board.
00:15:42And they'll run out the clock in the period.
00:15:44How about the Rockets?
00:15:48Second night of a back-to-back in full control
00:15:50as we head to the fourth here in Detroit.
00:15:57Your game presented by FanDuel.
00:16:01Getting ready for the start of the fourth.

00:16:04Jalen Duren.

00:16:097 rebounds.
00:16:10And Kevin Durant.
00:16:1326 points.
00:16:14He's only missed five shots.
00:16:16He's knocked down five shots from downtown.

00:16:26We had a fit check earlier in the ballgame with Giannis.
00:16:29Let's check in with Christina now with another fit check.
00:16:32And what do you know?
00:16:33It is the return of the Notorious SVG.
00:16:39Stan, our guy, our teammate,
00:16:41making his return for the first time back here
00:16:44at Little Caesars Arena.
00:16:46I can tell you, he really endured himself to the fans here.
00:16:49And this shirt, this photo, it is iconic.
00:16:54Part of that snow roll here in Detroit.
00:16:56Welcome back, Stan.
00:16:58Thank you very much, Christina.
00:17:00I love the fans here.
00:17:02This is a great sports city.
00:17:04And this is probably as good as it's been
00:17:06in a long time in Detroit.
00:17:08The Lions are good,
00:17:10even though they had injuries
00:17:11and didn't make the playoffs.
00:17:13Come on.
00:17:14This is, you're one of the founding fathers of Aura, Stan.
00:17:17This is unreal Aura on this image here.
00:17:20It's iconic.
00:17:20I think it was Andre Drummond who posted that originally.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28I don't know, though.
00:17:30The fans here are great.
00:17:31I really miss Detroit.
00:17:34And Cade Cunningham getting going.
00:17:35If they're going to get back in this game,
00:17:37they need two things.
00:17:38And we've seen it already start early.
00:17:40They're going to have to play the defense
00:17:42they've played in the second quarter
00:17:43and get to that stifling defense we've seen all year.
00:17:47And Cade Cunningham's got to get going.
00:17:49He's fourth in the NBA in fourth quarter scoring.
00:17:53And he just has this timing about him
00:17:55when he knows when he needs to step it up for his team.
00:17:59Well, now's the time.
00:18:01Ten points make it 11 now in the ballgame for Cunningham
00:18:04as we take a look at NBA's Rivals Week matchups for tomorrow.
00:18:09ABC, tripleheader, New York and Philadelphia,
00:18:12Golden State at Minnesota,
00:18:13followed by the Lakers at Mavericks from all these games.
00:18:16Go to NBA.com or visit the NBA app.
00:18:19And, oh, Stewart mixing it up with Shingun.
00:18:22And the officials almost will certainly
00:18:24maybe go to the scores table.
00:18:28They may not have to.
00:18:31No, they don't think they have to.
00:18:32It's just a full push.
00:18:33I'm personally shocked that it took us
00:18:37until the fourth quarter before we saw any of this.
00:18:42Yeah, I mean, they were both holding each other,
00:18:44and then Stewart just went one extra step
00:18:48and pushed right in front of the referee.
00:18:54I'll tell you what, though.
00:18:55I'll take Isaiah Stewart any day on my team.
00:18:59You know, and J.B. Bickerstaff said that.
00:19:02These guys are real competitive.
00:19:03Real physical.
00:19:05At times, they cross the line,
00:19:08but we can live with that.
00:19:10It's a lot of what you've heard,
00:19:11like the Warriors say,
00:19:13about Draymond Green over the years.
00:19:15You know, with anything,
00:19:17you've got to take a little bit of bad
00:19:19with a lot of the good,
00:19:20and the competitiveness and physicality
00:19:22of Isaiah Stewart wins you a lot more games
00:19:25than plays like that lose you.
00:19:28Shepard can't hit,
00:19:31and rebound secured by Cunningham.
00:19:33Cunningham pushing it down the lane.
00:19:36Can't finish,
00:19:37and a loose ball foul.
00:19:39This should go against Jason Tate.
00:19:40That's going to be his third foul,
00:19:45as Holland,
00:19:46who was undercut there,
00:19:48needed a moment
00:19:48to get help to his feet.
00:19:51And they are going to review this
00:19:57for a hostile act.
00:19:59This is an airborne player.
00:20:00You see Holland
00:20:01with the awkward fall.
00:20:03This foul meets the criteria
00:20:04for a flagrant foul.
00:20:09Well, what do you think?
00:20:10They're going to get a flagrant one out of this?
00:20:12They possibly could.
00:20:13It is an airborne player.
00:20:15And you see both Holland and Tate
00:20:18having words.
00:20:20Well, that's smart by Ron Holland.
00:20:22I don't know if he's doing it
00:20:24as a smart play,
00:20:25but it is smart.
00:20:26He has a better chance
00:20:27to get in that call
00:20:28as a flagrant now
00:20:29than he did before he went
00:20:31after Jason Tate.
00:20:34How about the crowd
00:20:35like applauding
00:20:36the intensity there?
00:20:38Here's another look at it
00:20:39on the right side.
00:20:40Yeah.
00:20:41That to me is not flagrant,
00:20:43but yes, you're right.
00:20:45It is dangerous.
00:20:46He's coming full speed.
00:20:48I, look,
00:20:52I think if Ron Holland
00:20:54just gets up
00:20:55and ready to play basketball,
00:20:57there's no review
00:20:59and nothing happens,
00:21:01but they argue the call
00:21:03and then he goes over there.
00:21:04I think he gets the call.
00:21:06Foul on the floor.
00:21:06He's been upgraded
00:21:07to a flagrant foul penalty one
00:21:08for undercutting
00:21:09a year-to-year injury.
00:21:11Therefore, we'll shoot two
00:21:12and they will retain
00:21:13possession of the ball.
00:21:14The 24 on the shot clock.
00:21:16Potential for injury
00:21:17taken into consideration there
00:21:18with an airborne player,
00:21:19so it is a flagrant foul penalty one.
00:21:21Yeah, I think once he went over
00:21:27and argued and was upset,
00:21:30it was assured that
00:21:31that was going to be
00:21:32a flagrant one.
00:21:33And I know
00:21:34Monty McCutcheon,
00:21:36Scott Foster
00:21:37would totally disagree
00:21:38that that had anything
00:21:39to do with the way
00:21:40they called it.
00:21:41But that's my take on it.
00:21:45There was a play
00:21:46in the first meeting
00:21:46between these two teams
00:21:47when Duncan Robinson
00:21:48took a shot.
00:21:49It wasn't an aggressive shot
00:21:50or anything like that,
00:21:51but he played it up
00:21:52near his bench
00:21:53and then looked up
00:21:54to his bench
00:21:55as if they go,
00:21:55wink, wink.
00:21:56And they got a review
00:21:57at the scoring table
00:21:59so guys know how to
00:22:00play it up a little bit,
00:22:02if you will.
00:22:02No question.
00:22:03But it doesn't negate.
00:22:06I mean, Ron Holland
00:22:07earned that
00:22:08with outstanding effort
00:22:09just flying to the glass.
00:22:15Steps to the line
00:22:16and makes two.
00:22:17This could end up
00:22:18being a huge possession
00:22:19in turning this game
00:22:20around right now.
00:22:21They've got it to nine.
00:22:22If they can get
00:22:23another bucket here,
00:22:25this game changes.
00:22:26We were talking about
00:22:27the chippiness
00:22:27we were expecting
00:22:28in this one.
00:22:29Already in the fourth quarter,
00:22:30a technical foul
00:22:30and a flagrant penalty one.
00:22:32Took a while,
00:22:34but here we are.
00:22:35Cunningham throwing it up.
00:22:36Stewart!
00:22:37Throwing it down.
00:22:41J.B. Bickerstaff
00:22:42said before the game,
00:22:43Stewart is the carrier
00:22:44of our identity.
00:22:46He's picking up
00:22:47the intensity
00:22:47defensively now
00:22:48on Shingon.
00:22:53Shingon finding Thompson.
00:22:55Couldn't handle it.
00:22:58That was a great pass,
00:23:00but it couldn't handle it.
00:23:02And that's 12 turnovers now.
00:23:03Both teams with 12.
00:23:08Detroit trying to battle back.
00:23:09Houston trying to dig deep
00:23:11on the second night
00:23:11of a back-to-back.
00:23:13Cunningham left it for Stewart.
00:23:15Stewart!
00:23:16Count it!
00:23:17And put him on the line!
00:23:18Stewart making a play.
00:23:34Pistons on a run.
00:23:37It's time to get busy now.
00:23:39Okay?
00:23:39We put ourselves in a hole,
00:23:40but in a place we've been before,
00:23:42so we know we're capable,
00:23:44and it's 12 minutes.
00:23:45Okay?
00:23:45We've got plenty of time
00:23:46to come back.
00:23:47We just got to keep doing
00:23:48the right things
00:23:49over and over again.
00:23:52Pistons have come back
00:23:53to win nine times this season
00:23:55in games where they trail
00:23:56by double figures.
00:23:57Six most wins
00:24:00in the NBA.
00:24:03They're on an 11-1 run
00:24:04to start this fourth quarter.
00:24:07Amin Thompson outside.
00:24:09Smith got a three!
00:24:12That was a big play.
00:24:15Amin Thompson finding Smith,
00:24:18and he knocks one down,
00:24:19finally, from three,
00:24:21and that's seven assists
00:24:23for Amin Thompson
00:24:24to go with 13 points
00:24:25and seven rebounds.
00:24:27Cunningham working on Durant.
00:24:29Sees a double.
00:24:31Amin Thompson diving on the floor,
00:24:33and we're going to have
00:24:34a tie-up here.
00:24:35Jump ball between Amin
00:24:37and Cade Cunningham.
00:24:42I agree with Amin Thompson here
00:24:44as he's talking to Bini and Maru
00:24:48saying he didn't have the ball.
00:24:52I agree with that.
00:24:53He was going after it,
00:24:54but he didn't have the ball.
00:24:56This is great hustle.
00:25:01Kevin Durant doing,
00:25:03you know, look,
00:25:04we've talked about his offense.
00:25:05It's been great.
00:25:06He's doing a good defensive job
00:25:07on Cade Cunningham.
00:25:09Now, granted,
00:25:10the team defense
00:25:11has been outstanding.
00:25:12Blitz in his pick-and-rolls,
00:25:13getting early help,
00:25:14but Kevin Durant's
00:25:15containing the ball
00:25:16pretty well.
00:25:18He's long been underrated
00:25:19in terms of making
00:25:19defensive plays.
00:25:21Off the jump.
00:25:23Rockets secure it.
00:25:26Shingon at the controls.
00:25:33Durant now.
00:25:3526 in the ball game.
00:25:37Backing down Holland.
00:25:38There's the double.
00:25:39Finds a cut in the Kogi.
00:25:40Outside Smith.
00:25:42Pump.
00:25:42Drive.
00:25:43Middie.
00:25:43No.
00:25:48Houston 90.
00:25:49Detroit 83.
00:25:51Holland a little out of control.
00:25:53And that happens from time to time
00:25:55with him.
00:25:55Young guy,
00:25:5620 years old.
00:25:58He's at full throttle
00:25:59all the time.
00:26:01And times has to learn
00:26:02to get himself under control.
00:26:05But I'll take that energy
00:26:06with a young guy like that.
00:26:08A lot better than having
00:26:08to rev a guy up.
00:26:11Shingon.
00:26:12Couple of fakes.
00:26:13Turns.
00:26:14And scores.
00:26:15Wow.
00:26:15That was filthy.
00:26:17And jumped like one inch
00:26:18off the floor
00:26:19to get that in.
00:26:20The footwork is just
00:26:21impressive.
00:26:2316 for Shingon.
00:26:25Holland.
00:26:26There it is.
00:26:30Just their fifth
00:26:31made three-pointer
00:26:32of the night.
00:26:35It makes it
00:26:36a two-possession ball game.
00:26:46Crowd getting into it here.
00:26:48Wow.
00:26:48Oh, almost a steal
00:26:49from Jenkins.
00:26:50Shingon!
00:26:51Oh, no.
00:26:53With a facial!
00:26:56Wow.
00:26:57He loves going
00:26:58to that left hand
00:26:59on that.
00:27:00Did a great job
00:27:00protecting the ball.
00:27:02Jenkins.
00:27:03Yes, sir!
00:27:07I'll tell you,
00:27:08the Pistons bench.
00:27:10Oh, Holland
00:27:11with the hustle!
00:27:13Tied up
00:27:14on the baseline.
00:27:17And Scott Foster
00:27:19calling a loose ball
00:27:20foul on Smith.
00:27:23And Smith and Holland
00:27:25getting into it.
00:27:28Well, we said
00:27:29going into the game
00:27:30and then we just said
00:27:32at the start of the quarter
00:27:33with the technical
00:27:34and the flagrant,
00:27:35more to come.
00:27:36There is no surprise here.
00:27:38And you were just talking
00:27:42about all gas,
00:27:43no breaks from Holland.
00:27:44Sometimes it works
00:27:45in your favor.
00:27:46There the hustle
00:27:47worked out for Detroit.
00:27:48Outstanding.
00:27:48And look,
00:27:49the Pistons bench
00:27:50has been the whole thing.
00:27:51Their starters
00:27:52have been thoroughly
00:27:53outplayed.
00:27:54Smith getting in there
00:28:01and again called
00:28:01for a loose ball foul.
00:28:08Smith very upset,
00:28:10having to be pulled away
00:28:11by coaches.
00:28:12and Smith picked up
00:28:18a technical foul.
00:28:32Great PA announcer here
00:28:34in Detroit,
00:28:35John Mason explaining
00:28:36the aftermath.
00:28:40Again,
00:28:40a loose ball foul
00:28:41and a technical foul
00:28:43called on Jabari Smith Jr.
00:28:45Cade Cunningham
00:28:46is going to shoot
00:28:47the technical here.
00:28:51This bench
00:28:52has been unbelievable.
00:28:53Pistons have scored
00:28:5489 points,
00:28:5545 of them
00:28:56from their bench.
00:28:57And Holland and Smith
00:29:03still having a conversation
00:29:04at midcourt.
00:29:09Well,
00:29:09this will be the challenge
00:29:10for the Rockets.
00:29:11It's the second night
00:29:12of a back-to-back,
00:29:13but even,
00:29:13you take that out
00:29:14of the equation,
00:29:15he made Udoka
00:29:15telling us before
00:29:16the ball game,
00:29:17figuring out how
00:29:17to close better
00:29:18has been an issue
00:29:19for this Rocket squad.
00:29:20Yeah,
00:29:20look,
00:29:20and we're not in the last
00:29:21five minutes yet,
00:29:23but those clutch games,
00:29:24plus or minus five
00:29:25in the last five minutes,
00:29:27the Rockets are only
00:29:2810 and 13
00:29:29on the year
00:29:29in those situations.
00:29:31The Pistons,
00:29:3219 and 8.
00:29:36Here we go,
00:29:37Cunningham.
00:29:39On the move,
00:29:40sets up Holland
00:29:41for three,
00:29:42well off the mark.
00:29:43Stewart,
00:29:44the offensive board.
00:29:45Big Stewart inside.
00:29:48Told you on the menu
00:29:49tonight,
00:29:50beef stew,
00:29:5216 points.
00:29:57Chance of defense
00:29:58from this crowd.
00:29:59Yeah,
00:29:59well this bench
00:30:00has been outstanding.
00:30:02Durant off the heel,
00:30:03Thompson the board,
00:30:05blocked by Cunningham.
00:30:09One possession game.
00:30:13Jenkins had his cookies taken.
00:30:15Shingun now.
00:30:24Holland with a denial
00:30:25on Durant.
00:30:27And Shingun
00:30:28forced to find
00:30:28another teammate.
00:30:30Finds a cut in the Kogi.
00:30:31Leaves it for a man.
00:30:32A man a couple
00:30:33of head-faced
00:30:34dump off the Smith,
00:30:35who is sandwiched
00:30:37by Isaiah Stewart.
00:30:38And not much
00:30:42Stewart to do there.
00:30:44He was in the air
00:30:44and had to come down
00:30:46on Jabari Smith Jr.
00:30:51This is a Detroit
00:30:53Pistons type of game.
00:30:56Rick Mahorn over there
00:30:57has to be absolutely
00:30:58loving this.
00:31:05Rockets wanting them
00:31:06to look at this
00:31:07for a flagrant,
00:31:08but I'm with you.
00:31:09He got up in the air.
00:31:10There's nothing he can do.
00:31:11Rockets also wanted
00:31:12a shooting foul.
00:31:13But Scott Foster
00:31:14saying the foul
00:31:14was on the floor.
00:31:16And Scott Foster's
00:31:17right by the rule.
00:31:18He didn't get into
00:31:19a shooting motion.
00:31:20I don't like
00:31:21that interpretation
00:31:22because there's
00:31:24nothing Smith
00:31:25can do there
00:31:26to get the shot off.
00:31:28Durant can't hit
00:31:29Jenkins the board.
00:31:32Another chance
00:31:33to get to within one
00:31:34or tie for the Pistons.
00:31:37Cunningham
00:31:37no good
00:31:38and Smith
00:31:40chases down
00:31:40the rebound.
00:31:43Nearly five minutes
00:31:44gone by
00:31:44here in the fourth.
00:31:46Only eight points
00:31:47for the Rockets
00:31:48in this quarter.
00:31:49they've made outscored
00:31:5119 to eight
00:31:52in the period.
00:31:53Amen Thompson
00:31:54push shot.
00:31:55Good.
00:31:56It just bullied
00:31:57his little brother.
00:31:59The big brother
00:32:00a minute older
00:32:01just pushed
00:32:02the little brother
00:32:02out of the way
00:32:03and scored.
00:32:05Amen Thompson
00:32:06with 15 now.
00:32:07Eight rebounds,
00:32:08seven assists,
00:32:09and a couple of steals.
00:32:10And extends the Rockets
00:32:11lead to five.
00:32:12Holland lies it up.
00:32:13shorts.
00:32:18And the Rockets
00:32:19again will take
00:32:20their time.
00:32:22You're going to live
00:32:23with that shot
00:32:23if you're Houston.
00:32:24Ron Holland
00:32:25now eight of his
00:32:26last 43
00:32:27from three
00:32:29under 20%.
00:32:30Durant rises
00:32:33and connects.
00:32:36Frustrated
00:32:37is Sar Thompson
00:32:38there.
00:32:38They've gone at him
00:32:39on the last
00:32:40two possessions.
00:32:40He's an all
00:32:41defensive level guy
00:32:42but playing
00:32:43with five fouls
00:32:44so can't be
00:32:45as aggressive
00:32:46as he would like
00:32:47and has given up
00:32:48a couple of buckets.
00:32:50Cunningham
00:32:50fake spin
00:32:51out to Jenkins
00:32:52long range.
00:32:54No good.
00:32:55And Durant
00:32:56chases down
00:32:56the board.
00:32:58Rockets by seven.
00:33:00Shingun
00:33:00tries to pass
00:33:01inside of
00:33:02Sar broken up
00:33:03and stole it.
00:33:04Cunningham
00:33:05ahead to Holland
00:33:06for the lay.
00:33:09Well that's what
00:33:09the Pistons need.
00:33:11Detroit got back
00:33:12up seven.
00:33:14If you can score
00:33:15and get your
00:33:16defense set
00:33:17Houston can guard
00:33:18Detroit in the
00:33:19half court
00:33:20pretty effectively
00:33:21but they're going
00:33:23to struggle
00:33:23if they're going
00:33:24to turn the ball
00:33:25over and let them
00:33:26get out
00:33:27and transition
00:33:28Okoge
00:33:29from downtown.
00:33:31Timeout Detroit.
00:33:36Okoge
00:33:36with just his
00:33:37second field goal
00:33:38of the ball game.
00:33:39We have an eight point
00:33:41lead for the Rockets.

00:34:07Well that's how you play

00:34:11and then a little more
00:34:12chippiness there.
00:34:13Jabari Smith and Isaiah
00:34:14Stewart.
00:34:15The Pistons going back
00:34:16to their starting lineup.
00:34:19All of these guys on the
00:34:20floor are at least
00:34:21minus 11 in their time

00:34:25So these guys
00:34:26group's going to have

00:34:35Duren got it off
00:34:36no

00:34:42Asar out there
00:34:43playing with five fouls
00:34:45and Houston
00:34:46coughing it up.
00:34:48Right there

00:34:52and force turnovers

00:34:56trying to run down
00:35:00this Rockets squad
00:35:01who entered the period
00:35:02with a 14-point advantage.
00:35:04Cunningham splits the defense.
00:35:06Asar
00:35:06met upstairs
00:35:07by Smith.
00:35:14Houston 101
00:35:15Detroit 95.
00:35:17Houston's got such
00:35:18great size

00:35:34Smith the offensive board.
00:35:36Okage got the lay.
00:35:38Wow.
00:35:40That was a bad
00:35:41offensive possession
00:35:42by Houston.
00:35:43Houston took too much time
00:35:45just trying to get
00:35:46switches in the matchup.
00:35:47He switches in the matchup.
00:35:50Harris

00:35:54finds a saw
00:35:57Thompson
00:35:58pass stolen
00:36:00by Smith.
00:36:01Smith's done a great job
00:36:03here.
00:36:03A block at the rim
00:36:04an offensive rebound
00:36:05that leads to an assist
00:36:07and then comes up
00:36:09with the steal
00:36:10making his impact
00:36:11after that little
00:36:12chippiness
00:36:13with Isaiah Stewart.
00:36:16That's a great
00:36:17meet me at the rim
00:36:19block.
00:36:23And then the next
00:36:24possession
00:36:24offensive rebound

00:36:27to Okoge
00:36:28rockets by eight.

00:36:40Bucks
00:36:41Nuggets
00:36:42once we're done here
00:36:43in Detroit.
00:36:47Houston up by eight.
00:36:483.20 to go
00:36:49in regulation.
00:36:50Shingun at the elbow.
00:36:52Watched by Duran.
00:36:53Shingun
00:36:54that pass
00:36:55broken up
00:36:56stolen.
00:36:57Jenkins
00:36:57and they're not
00:36:59given possession
00:37:00they're saying
00:37:01a shot clock violation.
00:37:04Wow.
00:37:05That is a tough
00:37:06break for
00:37:07Detroit
00:37:08saying he did
00:37:10not have control
00:37:11so giving it
00:37:13as a shot clock
00:37:14violation
00:37:14which allows
00:37:15Houston
00:37:15to set their
00:37:17defense
00:37:17another Houston
00:37:19turnover
00:37:1916 on the night.
00:37:22It's a good call
00:37:23though.
00:37:24It is a good call.
00:37:25It's the right call
00:37:26by the rule book.
00:37:28I'm not sure
00:37:29Alperen should be
00:37:29called that way
00:37:30but the referees
00:37:31don't decide that.
00:37:34Great rotation
00:37:35by Shingun
00:37:36to take away
00:37:37the three.
00:37:39Offensive foul
00:37:40is sealed
00:37:40by Duran
00:37:41which allowed
00:37:43Robinson
00:37:43to get to the cup.
00:37:44They wave off
00:37:45the basket.
00:37:47Well I'll tell you
00:37:48what though
00:37:48I love the rotation
00:37:49by Alperen Shingun
00:37:51to take away
00:37:52the three.
00:37:56And he just grabbed
00:37:57they're going to
00:37:58challenge this
00:37:59I believe.
00:38:00Yeah they are.
00:38:01Detroit will
00:38:02challenge this call.
00:38:04If they're wrong
00:38:05they're out of timeouts.
00:38:093-0-2
00:38:10to go on regulation.
00:38:12The fans here in Detroit
00:38:13letting me
00:38:14making it clear
00:38:16how they feel.
00:38:17Oh the challenge
00:38:17rolling on the floor.
00:38:21Well I'm surprised
00:38:22that the fans
00:38:23are seeing it this way.
00:38:24and there's
00:38:32there's the grab.
00:38:34Yeah which keeps
00:38:36which keeps
00:38:37Smith from
00:38:38going up
00:38:39and contesting
00:38:40which he's done
00:38:41very effectively
00:38:42tonight.
00:38:43Yes.
00:38:44I don't think
00:38:45they're going to win
00:38:46this challenge.
00:38:48And like you said
00:38:493-0-2
00:38:50to go
00:38:50in regulation
00:38:51if they
00:38:52make another run
00:38:53which they're certainly
00:38:53capable of
00:38:54they'll have to do so
00:38:55without any timeouts.
00:38:57Yeah and this is big
00:38:57a big call
00:38:59but it's also
00:38:59a big point
00:39:00in the game
00:39:00for Houston
00:39:01because
00:39:01Ime Odoka
00:39:02talked before the game
00:39:03they're not
00:39:05playing poorly
00:39:06they've just had
00:39:08a lot of trouble
00:39:09finishing out games
00:39:10to do this
00:39:11on the road
00:39:12against the best
00:39:13team in the East
00:39:14on the second night
00:39:15of a back-to-back
00:39:16would be an
00:39:18absolute
00:39:18huge win
00:39:19for this Houston team.
00:39:22Last night in Philly
00:39:22they had an
00:39:23eight-point lead
00:39:24with under five minutes
00:39:24to go
00:39:25a seven-point advantage
00:39:27with 3.15 to go
00:39:28and ended up losing
00:39:29that game to the Sixers
00:39:30in OT.
00:39:30Look we talked about it
00:39:32before the game
00:39:32I think the biggest problem
00:39:34is not having a true
00:39:35point guard
00:39:36they've done a good job
00:39:37overcoming that
00:39:38for most of the time
00:39:40but when you get down
00:39:42to these games
00:39:43that are decided
00:39:44by one or two possessions
00:39:45having a guy like
00:39:46Fred Van Vliet
00:39:47to organize you
00:39:49or in Detroit's case
00:39:50a Cade Cunningham
00:39:52it's just a lot
00:39:53easier to do
00:39:54than when you're
00:39:55putting guys
00:39:56who haven't been
00:39:57in that position
00:39:58having to organize
00:40:00you in things
00:40:01and I think
00:40:01that's been
00:40:02Houston's problem
00:40:03Emei Udoka
00:40:05knows it
00:40:06but he just said
00:40:07Amin Thompson
00:40:08and Reed Shepard
00:40:10just have to get
00:40:10experience
00:40:11and learn this
00:40:12and they'll be
00:40:13better in the long run
00:40:14for this.
00:40:15Scott Foster
00:40:19and Jason Goldenberg
00:40:20still looking at this
00:40:21it looked kind of
00:40:21clear as day
00:40:22that it was a grab
00:40:23of the
00:40:23jersey
00:40:25from
00:40:27Durin
00:40:28to prevent
00:40:29a clean contest
00:40:30from Smith
00:40:30but they're still
00:40:33looking at this closely
00:40:34at the scores table
00:40:35yeah they are
00:40:36it looked to me
00:40:37like he grabs him
00:40:38right there
00:40:38I actually thought
00:40:40on the initial call
00:40:40they were telling
00:40:41the fend off there
00:40:43by Robinson
00:40:44but they weren't
00:40:45I think what
00:40:46Detroit wants
00:40:47is this call
00:40:48they want the
00:40:50initial call
00:40:51which would
00:40:52then negate
00:40:53all the rest of it
00:40:54absolutely
00:40:55and put
00:40:56and put Jalen Durin
00:40:59on the free throw line
00:41:00so a big call here
00:41:07if they turn it around
00:41:08and make that call
00:41:09Jalen Durin
00:41:11will be at
00:41:11the free throw line
00:41:12with a chance
00:41:14to cut it to six
00:41:15and if they do
00:41:27overturn this
00:41:28they'll
00:41:29successful challenge
00:41:32keep a timeout
00:41:33yeah this is really
00:41:35a big call
00:41:36in this game
00:41:38you got a time
00:41:39you would have a timeout
00:41:40with a chance
00:41:41to cut it to six
00:41:42or no timeouts
00:41:44down eight
00:41:45and the other team
00:41:45has the ball
00:41:46here's the call
00:41:50from Scott Foster
00:41:51and the officials
00:41:54also wearing these
00:41:55headsets
00:41:55so they can communicate
00:41:56after the foul
00:41:58the foul
00:41:58has been overturned
00:41:58to a shirt grab
00:41:59by Smith
00:42:00on Durin
00:42:01who will shoot
00:42:01the penalty
00:42:01therefore
00:42:02this is a successful
00:42:04challenge
00:42:04since we're under
00:42:05our last amend
00:42:06they will not be
00:42:07a charge of timeout
00:42:08and they will be able
00:42:08to challenge subsequent
00:42:09plays
00:42:09the game clock
00:42:10to 3-0-5
00:42:11and we'll play
00:42:12from there
00:42:13big call
00:42:17and the right call
00:42:18they got the first foul
00:42:22it took them a while
00:42:23over there
00:42:23but I think
00:42:24they got it right
00:42:25that's another one
00:42:27in the win column
00:42:27for you
00:42:28there you go
00:42:29and now Jalen Durin
00:42:30at the line
00:42:31he's a 72%
00:42:33free throw shooter
00:42:34made both of them
00:42:35tonight
00:42:366 for 6
00:42:38last night
00:42:39or 2 nights ago
00:42:40at New Orleans
00:42:41from the line
00:42:42after being 13
00:42:43out of 25
00:42:44in his previous
00:42:458 games
00:42:46so
00:42:46turning around
00:42:47he's made his last 8
00:42:49Durin averaging
00:42:546 more points
00:42:55per game
00:42:56than he did
00:42:56a season ago
00:42:57good on the first
00:42:58free throw
00:42:59and he's right there
00:43:02at his average now
00:43:03with 17 chance
00:43:04to take it to 18
00:43:05right here
00:43:07and this is where
00:43:11Houston's gonna have
00:43:12to be able
00:43:12to get organized
00:43:13and execute
00:43:15having a little
00:43:19clock issue here
00:43:20got it sorted out
00:43:253-0-5
00:43:26on the game clock
00:43:28and Durin good
00:43:35on both
00:43:36we have 3 minutes
00:43:41to go
00:43:42in regulation
00:43:43send goes
00:43:48Duran now
00:43:5328 points
00:43:54on the night
00:43:54sizing up
00:43:56Harris
00:43:56crossover
00:43:57pull up
00:43:57J
00:43:58pure
00:43:5830 again
00:44:03for Durant
00:44:05you've seen him
00:44:08do that
00:44:08for a lot
00:44:09of years
00:44:10lead back
00:44:12to 8
00:44:12for the Rockets
00:44:13Jenkins
00:44:17inside
00:44:19Duran
00:44:19good position
00:44:20stripped
00:44:20by Thompson
00:44:21I told you
00:44:24off camera
00:44:25before the game
00:44:26if I had to vote
00:44:28now
00:44:28Amin Thompson
00:44:29would be my
00:44:30defensive player
00:44:31of the year
00:44:31I know we always
00:44:32give it to a big guy
00:44:34but I don't think
00:44:35we need to
00:44:35what a move
00:44:36by Reed Shepard
00:44:38he gave the hesitation
00:44:40to Cade Cunningham
00:44:41and went right
00:44:43by a 10 point lead
00:44:45and an offensive foul
00:44:48Houston will get it back
00:44:51this is a ridiculous
00:44:53hezy
00:44:54wow
00:44:57and Duran on Tobias
00:45:02Harris
00:45:02great left to right
00:45:03cross
00:45:04it just created
00:45:05a lot of space
00:45:07don't really like
00:45:12Reed Shepard
00:45:12running his defender
00:45:13at Amin Thompson
00:45:14like that
00:45:15Thompson inside
00:45:16leaves it for Shingon
00:45:18blocked from behind
00:45:19by Jenkins
00:45:20Detroit trying to
00:45:22find some life
00:45:23late

00:45:25and it's out of bounds
00:45:26it will stay
00:45:27with the Pistons
00:45:29better watch
00:45:37what he's saying
00:45:38to Scott Foster
00:45:38there
00:45:39you don't want
00:45:39a technical
00:45:40right here
00:45:40you're up 10
00:45:41with a minute and a half
00:45:42win the game
00:45:43you're not going to
00:45:44win the argument
00:45:45anyway
00:45:45win the game
00:45:46Robinson
00:45:48for three
00:45:49too strong
00:45:50Durant
00:45:51the rebound
00:45:52and time
00:45:53running out
00:45:53on Detroit
00:45:54that was a great
00:45:55nice play
00:45:56by Jabari Smith
00:45:57Durant had inside
00:45:58position on him
00:45:59but he was able
00:45:59to get up
00:46:00use his size
00:46:01and tip the ball
00:46:02away Houston
00:46:03to come up
00:46:04with it
00:46:04Houston will take
00:46:07one of their final
00:46:08two timeouts
00:46:10we got 74 seconds
00:46:13to go here
00:46:14in the fourth
00:46:14and what a response
00:46:16by Houston
00:46:17after Pistons
00:46:17got up to a furious
00:46:18rally to start the
00:46:19period
00:46:19absolutely right
00:46:21they went up
00:46:21what 11 to 1
00:46:22right off the bat
00:46:24I mean quickly
00:46:25cut that lead
00:46:26but they've come back
00:46:28and finishing out
00:46:29strong
00:46:29Durant
00:46:30over the top
00:46:31of Kate Cunningham
00:46:33knocking down
00:46:35threes in the corner
00:46:36we've seen it all
00:46:37tonight
00:46:38pull up jumper
00:46:40his patented thing
00:46:42even the cut
00:46:43for a dunk
00:46:44he's done it all
00:46:45to get his 30
00:46:46tonight
00:46:47and then that one
00:46:50a huge hoop
00:46:51in this game
00:46:52but look
00:46:53we're not surprised
00:46:55he's done it
00:46:56his entire career
00:46:57and he's been
00:46:57especially effective
00:46:59against the Pistons
00:47:00his highest career
00:47:02points per game
00:47:03is against this team
00:47:04over 30 a game
00:47:05and he's got 30
00:47:07tonight
00:47:07so as of now
00:47:09they're holding him
00:47:10under his average
00:47:10against him
00:47:11at a 51 point
00:47:14performance here
00:47:15at Little Caesars
00:47:16Arena
00:47:16as a member
00:47:17of the Brooklyn Nets
00:47:17a handful of years
00:47:19ago
00:47:20he's been getting
00:47:24it done for a long
00:47:25time
00:47:25again
00:47:25he's chasing
00:47:26MJ
00:47:26107-97
00:47:33can't say enough
00:47:34about this performance
00:47:35not just a back-to-back
00:47:36but it was an overtime
00:47:37back-to-back
00:47:39well we thought
00:47:41tonight we would
00:47:42get a good game
00:47:43and a hard
00:47:44played game
00:47:45by two very
00:47:46tough
00:47:48hard playing
00:47:49teams
00:47:49and we've gotten
00:47:50exactly that
00:47:51Shen Goong
00:47:54got it into Durant
00:47:55and a foul
00:47:56is called
00:47:57that was the foul
00:47:59to give for Detroit
00:48:00113 now
00:48:03to go here
00:48:03in the fourth
00:48:04and the Pistons
00:48:11enter tonight
00:48:12having won
00:48:12their last four games
00:48:14and seven of eight
00:48:15third best home
00:48:19record in the NBA
00:48:20a man got it
00:48:22across the timeline
00:48:23over to Shen Goong
00:48:25Shen Goong
00:48:26goes down
00:48:27and a foul
00:48:28is called
00:48:29on Jalen Durant
00:48:30that's Durant's
00:48:34first foul
00:48:34which is
00:48:35amazing
00:48:36for this game
00:48:37and so
00:48:43Detroit
00:48:46will call
00:48:47their final timeout
00:48:48and they are
00:48:49going to challenge
00:48:50we thought this would be
00:48:56as you said earlier
00:48:57a physical
00:48:58battle between two teams
00:49:00that kind of
00:49:01resembled each other
00:49:02in terms of style of play
00:49:03but
00:49:03a lot of credit to the Houston
00:49:05and the resilience
00:49:05they've had in this ballgame
00:49:06absolutely right
00:49:08here's the play
00:49:09there's no foul there on Dern
00:49:11he simply slipped and went out of bounds
00:49:13this will be Detroit
00:49:15ball going the other way
00:49:18and if you're Houston
00:49:19now
00:49:19going to be switching
00:49:21almost everything
00:49:22taking away
00:49:23threes
00:49:23you want nothing
00:49:24quick
00:49:25no threes
00:49:26and then you've got to
00:49:27rebound the ball
00:49:28you know everyone
00:49:29is coming to the glass
00:49:30for the Pistons
00:49:31at this point
00:49:32then when you get the ball back
00:49:34it's all
00:49:34take care of the ball
00:49:36you're going to see
00:49:37very aggressive defense
00:49:38nothing careless
00:49:39this is one
00:49:41you've got to finish out
00:49:42you've got a minute and four
00:49:44you don't start celebrating now
00:49:46trying to exercise some demons
00:49:49on the road
00:49:49the Houston Rockets
00:49:50it's been determined
00:49:51that the call on the floor
00:49:52has been overturned
00:49:52to a no call
00:49:53the player slipped
00:49:54and the contact
00:49:54was immaterial to the play
00:49:56therefore
00:49:56the result of the play
00:49:58was out of bounds
00:49:59it'll be Detroit ball
00:50:00they will be charged
00:50:01to time out
00:50:01because this is their
00:50:02second challenge
00:50:03so Detroit's
00:50:05out of timeouts now
00:50:07but worth it
00:50:08for that challenge
00:50:09to get the ball
00:50:10I mean look
00:50:13it's just
00:50:14J.B. Bickerstaff
00:50:17went back to his starters
00:50:18and look
00:50:20the starters
00:50:20just haven't been
00:50:21good enough tonight
00:50:22the bench
00:50:23I'm looking
00:50:24every starter
00:50:25is at least
00:50:26minus 13
00:50:27for the Pistons
00:50:29and all the bench guys
00:50:30are in the positive
00:50:31but look
00:50:32they played
00:50:32they made the run
00:50:33they're tired
00:50:34I mean you've got to go back
00:50:35J.B. Bickerstaff
00:50:37didn't make a mistake
00:50:38his starters
00:50:38just haven't been good enough
00:50:40and why would
00:50:41Kevin Durant
00:50:42foul a shooter
00:50:44on a three
00:50:45at this point
00:50:47Kevin Durant's
00:50:49been in this league
00:50:49a long time
00:50:51keep that clock
00:50:52running
00:50:53make him make
00:50:54that shot
00:50:55and follow through
00:50:57on the contest
00:50:58getting Harris up top
00:51:00stopping the clock
00:51:01with 57 seconds
00:51:02remaining
00:51:02and giving Tobias Harris
00:51:04three free throws
00:51:06and Harris
00:51:06only a 34%
00:51:08three-point shooter
00:51:09but an 86%
00:51:10free-thrust shooter
00:51:12missed the first
00:51:14he's missed time
00:51:15this season
00:51:16right ankle sprain
00:51:17earlier in the year
00:51:18most recently
00:51:19a left hip strain
00:51:20and you know
00:51:22you're going to see
00:51:23pressure right here
00:51:24if you're Houston
00:51:25you've got one timeout
00:51:26left
00:51:27but they are coming
00:51:28after you
00:51:29Isaiah Stewart
00:51:30coming into the game
00:51:31to give them
00:51:34another rebounder
00:51:35here too
00:51:36they are going
00:51:38to be pressing
00:51:39Houston's going
00:51:41to have to be
00:51:41organized here
00:51:43take care of the ball
00:51:44and attack the press
00:51:47it might
00:51:47when you get tentative
00:51:48that's when you
00:51:49turn the ball over
00:51:50they just checked
00:51:51Reed Shepard back in
00:51:53for ball handling purposes
00:51:54he's being watched
00:51:55by a star Thompson
00:51:56right now
00:51:57Shungun to work it in
00:51:58Shungun needs to find
00:52:01somebody
00:52:01and he'll call timeout
00:52:03last timeout
00:52:04for the Rockets
00:52:05too many guys
00:52:06in the backcourt
00:52:07I don't like having
00:52:08all four guys up here
00:52:09there's no spacing
00:52:11get two guys at least
00:52:12out of there
00:52:14and down the floor
00:52:15and give your guys
00:52:16some room to work
00:52:18and then you can bring
00:52:19one of those guys
00:52:20back on the run
00:52:21but there's no space
00:52:22the way they had that
00:52:24set up to move
00:52:25Kevin Durant's saying
00:52:27he's getting held
00:52:28which is absolutely right
00:52:29but look
00:52:30if you're Houston
00:52:31and you want to learn
00:52:32how to close out games
00:52:33and particularly
00:52:34heading to the postseason
00:52:35that's how defense
00:52:36is at the end of games
00:52:37and the referees
00:52:38let guys hold you
00:52:40out of bounds
00:52:41that's just the way
00:52:42it is
00:52:42and so you have to have
00:52:44room to get open
00:52:45we'll see what
00:52:47Ime Udoka
00:52:48sets up here
00:52:49I would think
00:52:50he will advance
00:52:51the ball
00:52:52so that he doesn't
00:52:53have to bring it
00:52:54full court
00:52:55don't forget
00:52:56coming up next
00:52:57Nuggets
00:52:58and Milwaukee
00:52:59to take on
00:53:00Giannis Antetokounmpo
00:53:01and the Bucs
00:53:02are just about
00:53:02the tip there
00:53:03it finds her form
00:53:0457 seconds
00:53:06to go here
00:53:07neither team
00:53:07without a timeout
00:53:08the rest of the way
00:53:09so Houston
00:53:11will have to get
00:53:12it in cleanly
00:53:13Pistons in
00:53:16desperation mode
00:53:17late
00:53:17got off to a
00:53:18fast start
00:53:19here in the fourth
00:53:20and then Houston
00:53:22took back control
00:53:23Rockets advance it
00:53:34so Shingun once again
00:53:35will try to work it in
00:53:37Stewart will shadow him
00:53:39spacing very key here
00:53:44for Houston
00:53:44so that wherever they go
00:53:46one guy's got to go
00:53:47to the backcourt
00:53:48but everybody's got to
00:53:49have some room
00:53:50to be able to get open
00:53:52Shingun
00:53:54got it in
00:53:56and a foul is called
00:53:58right as the ball
00:54:01was tossed in too
00:54:02as Durant was pushed
00:54:04from behind
00:54:04he was
00:54:06but I still did not
00:54:07like Houston spacing
00:54:08there they didn't run
00:54:09anybody to the backcourt
00:54:10they ran
00:54:12Thompson over the top
00:54:13to the corner
00:54:14there's just not room
00:54:16to get open
00:54:17Houston wants to
00:54:20finish out games
00:54:21they're going to need
00:54:22to get better in
00:54:23situations like that
00:54:24they've got to push it
00:54:25now
00:54:25and
00:54:31Jason take
00:54:32and Josh Akogi
00:54:34will check in
00:54:35Shingun coming out
00:54:36you're going to see
00:54:37them switch everything
00:54:38now Houston
00:54:39one through five
00:54:40across the board
00:54:41switch
00:54:42take away threes
00:54:43and hopefully
00:54:44not foul again
00:54:45on a three
00:54:45and Durant
00:54:51now with 32
00:54:53Cunningham
00:54:57fires from deep
00:54:59rims out
00:55:00Durant the rebound
00:55:02Cunningham
00:55:03just 12 points
00:55:045 of 13 shooting
00:55:050 for 4
00:55:06from downtown
00:55:07and there's another
00:55:10whistle
00:55:10and Jason Tate
00:55:11will go to the
00:55:12charity strike
00:55:13Jason Tate
00:55:16only be shooting
00:55:17his fourth and fifth
00:55:18three throws of the
00:55:19season right here
00:55:20hasn't missed though
00:55:22his 26th appearance
00:55:28of the season
00:55:28he's provided
00:55:29high energy
00:55:30for the Rockets
00:55:32can't hit the free throw
00:55:36okay
00:55:43but David
00:55:44you jinxed him
00:55:46I did not
00:55:47come on
00:55:48you can't jinx the guy
00:55:49who's only shot
00:55:49three free throws
00:55:50on the season
00:55:52here's Harris
00:55:56across the timeline
00:55:5711 point advantage
00:55:59for the Rockets
00:56:00they've done a great job
00:56:03closing the door
00:56:04we've got another
00:56:05foul
00:56:05beyond the arc
00:56:07Kevin Durant
00:56:07going to pick up
00:56:08his fourth
00:56:09I don't
00:56:11this is
00:56:11unexplainable
00:56:12to me
00:56:12what is Kevin
00:56:17that's definitely
00:56:18what is he doing
00:56:18you're up
00:56:2011 points
00:56:21Fred Van Vliet
00:56:23is like
00:56:23looking at him
00:56:24like what's going on
00:56:26like Fallon
00:56:28on a three
00:56:29at any point
00:56:30is not good
00:56:31but man
00:56:32two of them
00:56:32here at the end
00:56:33oh he's going to
00:56:34hear about it
00:56:35Fred Van Vliet
00:56:36he had 32 points
00:56:38he's had a great game
00:56:39but he's going to
00:56:40hear about it
00:56:41here's what I like
00:56:42about what Durant
00:56:43did tonight
00:56:43though
00:56:44they really stepped
00:56:44up the pressure
00:56:45on him
00:56:4532 points
00:56:477 rebounds
00:56:473 assists
00:56:48does not have
00:56:49a turnover
00:56:50tonight
00:56:51in 40 minutes
00:56:52you know
00:56:54so he took that
00:56:55to heart
00:56:56and
00:56:57and really
00:56:57has come out
00:56:58and taken care
00:56:59of the ball
00:56:59against a team
00:57:00that
00:57:01is second
00:57:03in the league
00:57:03in forcing
00:57:04turnovers
00:57:05Robinson 2 of 3
00:57:12Asar Thompson
00:57:13the offensive board
00:57:14Robinson relocates
00:57:16and hits a tray
00:57:17and a loose ball
00:57:19foul
00:57:19is going
00:57:21against Detroit
00:57:22I'll tell you
00:57:24what though
00:57:24give the Pistons
00:57:26credit
00:57:26I mean
00:57:27they just
00:57:27do not
00:57:28quit
00:57:29offensive rebound
00:57:30on a free throw
00:57:31and then
00:57:32back to
00:57:33Duncan Robinson
00:57:34wow
00:57:36you think
00:57:37Duncan intended
00:57:38to miss that one
00:57:39just to give
00:57:39themselves an opportunity
00:57:40on the offensive
00:57:42glass
00:57:42I don't know
00:57:43about that
00:57:44I don't think so
00:57:45and here's the
00:57:47oh yeah
00:57:48Stewart
00:57:48head slap
00:57:51on
00:57:51Shingun
00:57:51and Shingun
00:57:58missing the free throw
00:57:58it's not over
00:58:00two possession game
00:58:0128 seconds to go
00:58:03got to slow him up
00:58:06taking it up the floor
00:58:07last time
00:58:09Okoge did a great job
00:58:10denying Cade Cunningham
00:58:13the inbounds pass
00:58:14so that he couldn't be
00:58:15the guy to push it
00:58:16Detroit's got their best
00:58:19three point shooters
00:58:20on the floor
00:58:21that makes it a
00:58:26seven point ball game
00:58:27Jenkins
00:58:30over to Robinson
00:58:32Robinson
00:58:32heaves it
00:58:33off the mark
00:58:34and that'll about do it
00:58:3619 seconds to go
00:58:38and Kevin Durant
00:58:40didn't foul him
00:58:41on that one
00:58:41nice job
00:58:42Kevin
00:58:42I'm giving him
00:58:44a hard time
00:58:44he's played a great game
00:58:45but man
00:58:46those last two fouls
00:58:47were inexplicable
00:58:49I said unexplainable
00:58:50I don't think that's a word
00:58:51I was in English
00:58:54maybe too
00:58:55yeah not good
00:58:57and Kevin will say that
00:58:59if he's interviewed
00:58:59after the game
00:59:00Durant
00:59:03back to Thompson
00:59:04in over three
