03:14Two for two on this trip.
03:16Guglietta inbounds the ball.
03:20Give it up.
03:23Give it up.
03:24They throw it cross court.
03:27Here they come on the fast break.
03:30Passes off the mark and they give up the ball.
03:39Son.
03:40Longley throws it in.
03:42Kidd.
03:43Just across midcourt.
03:44Working the offense.
03:46Robinson.
03:47He's been instrumental in showing rookies how to play a complete game.
03:51What we're seeing here is a mismatch of not size or speed but experience.
03:55You top by example on that play Rod.
03:57I love watching this guy play.
03:58It really is a treat.
04:00Robinson.
04:01Moves to the hoop.
04:02The Suns.
04:03Keep the ball moving.
04:04Go defense.
04:06Hardaway.
04:08The DK bench shot about zero chance of going in.
04:12Yeah.
04:13No question about it Rod.
04:14Nice stop.
04:15Guglietta sneaks by defenders.
04:17They're looking to run the court.
04:19Here it comes.
04:21Here it comes.
04:22First personal foul.

04:52The defender didn't have a chance on that one.
04:53Bob.
04:54Faded back and just dropped it right in.
04:55He is the master of the fade away.
04:56You can't defend that shot.
04:57You can't get to it.
