00:00And that's something you don't want to have.
00:03The Rockets have had a lot of success against Boston over the last several seasons.
00:07I wish he'd go ahead and take it.
00:11Definitely a higher percentage shot if you're at the rim.
00:14Since you're the dead last in three-point shooting, you know, I'd go ahead and take the gimme.
00:19There's a basket by Boston.
00:21Taking it inside.
00:22Left-hander puts it up and in.
00:23What a shot.
00:25Oh my goodness.
00:25Nobody better than John Lucas to help players become pros.
00:31Porter gets it back outside again to Oladipo.
00:35That's a tough catch and a shot.
00:38Thompson out front.
00:43Shot from the outside is good.
00:45Wow, Jason Tatum.
00:47About the last ten years, he's been among the league leaders in offensive rebounds.
00:50Yeah, he had some great years at Cleveland, didn't he?
00:54Porter with a three.
00:56There's Tate, boy.
00:58He's been around every rebound.
01:00Nice pass to Oladipo.
01:01And he missed the layup.
01:03Got it back and put it in.
01:05Good hustle by Victor.
01:07Call for the charge.
01:09Yeah, going back to Elvin Hayes and Hakeem Olajuwon.
01:12Elvin's rookie numbers were phenomenal.
01:16There's a three-pointer.
01:17We'll tend early in the game if you have to, but make those guys think you're going to be there every time.
01:23And he did.
01:24There's Tate just pulling his way inside.
01:26That Boston defense is pretty soft, man.
01:30Well, Tice is a seven-footer.
01:32Jayshon Tate's only 6'4".
01:33He went right over the top.
01:34Yeah, Tate's off to a great start here tonight.
01:37Brown putting it up.
01:38Oh, what a tough shot.
01:39He was covered.
01:39Former Texas Aggie player.
01:45Oladipo puts it up and in.
01:47So Oladipo, who normally is a volume shooter, maybe he's getting a little more comfortable in the offense.
01:52Backdoor play to Brown.
01:53Twisting inside.
01:54Good defense by Healston.
01:56There's a steal.
01:57Gets it up ahead.
01:58Nwaba goes to Martin because he knows he can go get it.
02:02NBA getting his feet on the ground.
02:04Actually, they want him to get his feet off the ground.
02:07He can do that.
02:09Yeah, there he is.
02:12That's staying a little closer to him.
02:14We'll see how he develops.
02:19Shot clock running down and a three is good for Boston.
02:23Like it's three best players.
02:24Got to get them out there if you can.
02:28Going to back up and shoot.
02:29And there it is.
02:30Wow, what a shot by Kevin Porter, Jr.
02:33And 127 left.
02:35Tatum again to the basket for two.
02:42Think about Brad Stevens' motion offense.
02:45You see it right there with getting a nice backdoor cut and a dunk.
02:49Rockets started out two for four.
02:51Now one for 11 from the three-point line.
02:54Nifty little move by Brown.
02:59They couldn't hit a thing.
03:02Tate, beautiful drive.
03:04And nice no-call there, too.
03:06You wouldn't want to leave that land.
03:07No, you wouldn't.
03:08Ooh, Brad.
03:15Wait a minute.
03:16There may be a...
03:20Hardest thing to teach young players that defense.
03:24There again, Thompson using his size.
03:27I would not know what the Kardashians are up to without my wife.
03:29Well, Perry just told me, our producer, that a long time they've been going together.
03:34So, that just shows you how clueless I am.
03:38But they're going to be good changes.
03:40They're going to be good for the franchise.
03:42Eventually.
03:44Hey.
03:45Big time.
03:46How do you like that form, huh?
03:47Love it.
03:48Miles has no bench, basically.
03:51Well, he's got Hornacek and John Lucas over there.
03:53But those guys just won't play.
03:54They can't even get to half court.
03:56Those two guys.
03:57There's Brown with a great turnaround.
03:59Victor's got 13 points for Houston.
04:0211 for Porter.
04:05There's a steal.
04:06Up ahead to Oladipo for the slam.
04:11By Jeff Teague.
04:13On the closeout.
04:16Brown got a pretty good crossover move, doesn't he?
04:18Man, he is hot tonight.
04:20I don't want his fingers, doesn't it, Bill?
04:21Yeah, well, when you're an all-star,
04:24you're never in very long slumps.
04:27There he is down the court.
04:28What a great pass.
04:30The two all-stars.
04:32I look like a man from Mars on my cutout.
04:34I don't know who did that.
04:35I got to find out who did that.
04:39You need a mulligan on your cutout?
04:41I need a couple of mulligans.
04:43Hey, nice shot.
04:45Kimball Walker wants a shot out front, and he'll take it.
04:49Missed it.
04:50There's Williams again.
04:51Yeah, right.
04:52How's Sterling Brown going to stop that?
04:54He's going to be a player in this league.
04:55Yeah, he really is.
04:56He's got all the skills, and he's got the confidence, too.
04:59And that's a layup right off the bat.
05:04Really showing out.
05:05He's showing that he's an NBA player that he deserves to play.
05:08There's a shot for three.
05:12Biggest lead of the game now for Kimball Walker.
05:15We'll talk about that tournament in a little while coming up.
05:19Congratulations to the Houston Cougars, number two seed.
05:24Texas Southerns going dancing.
05:26Some real good college basketball here in Houston.
05:29Some real good high school basketball.
05:30Some great high school players.
05:31That's right.
05:32They're great players come out of Houston.
05:34Tate giving it up to Martin, but that was a tough pass to catch.
05:38Yeah, and Tate had the mismatch in the paint.
05:40He should have just went up with it.
05:44That's pretty easy.
05:52Going to take it into Williams again easy.
05:55Just towering over everybody.
05:57Williams has his first double-double this season here tonight.
06:02And that's an easy layup.
06:04Rockets got a switch mixed up.
06:08Ojale was a good player at SMU.
06:10There you go, Oladipo.
06:16Good things are welcome here.
06:19That's a positive message on his shirt here tonight.
06:22Boy, he ought to give that.
06:23There's another easy basket by Williams.
06:26All he's got to do is drop it in the basket.
06:29Miami's coming on strong with four straight wins.
06:32Boston is number five.
06:34Oh, yeah.
06:36Going airborne, K.J. Martin.
06:38You know, I'm a big believer in point differential.
06:42And right now, the way that breaks down in the NBA, there's a shot from the outside good.
06:48Walking number two, Phoenix.
06:51Then it's the Clippers, Brooklyn, and the Lakers.
06:53So, really, all you care about is what's the diff.
06:57That's right.
06:59And wouldn't you say that's the top six?
07:02Four seconds down to three.
07:04That's going to be almost a steal.
07:07Tatum gets off the shot in time, and it goes.
07:10Wouldn't you know it?
07:10But Jason Tatum says, man, I just tried to make it degree of difficulty a little harder.
07:23Alley-oop to the tall guy.
07:25Now, Williams looks like he's okay, and there's my guy, Carson Edwards.
07:28Carson Edwards had a terrific high school career here in Houston.
07:32I'll tell you, he had a terrific career in Tennessee, too.
07:35Purdue.
07:35I mean, Purdue.
07:36I'm sorry.
07:41That was pretty easy looking, wasn't it?
07:43I love that mentality.
07:45Said I had to spring for about five or six tickets tonight.
07:49Hey, Martin with a three.
07:52Rockets in the zone.
07:53I guess that's going to be the answer.
07:55Little one-two-two zone.
08:00Chopping the outside good.
08:02To not bring your arms forward.
08:04Well, especially when there's contact.
08:06Yeah.
08:06You get contact around your midsection.
08:08That just forces you to just bend over a little.
08:10Well, how about that long range?
08:12Peyton Pritchard.
08:15You can see more of him in that zone buster.
08:22Oh, yeah.
08:257.53 and counting left to play.
08:28Taco.
08:29Back outside.
08:30Wide open.
08:32Stay on that shooter.
08:34And they generate a ton of wide open ones.
08:36There's one right there.
08:38Nwaba got that rebound for a moment.
08:40And he lost it.
08:42Here comes Edwards.
08:43All the way to the bucket for two.
08:45You know he's not passing that.
08:47He's going to have some disadvantages.
08:52There's Taco putting it up and in.
08:54Great young man, by the way.
08:56Taco fall.
08:57Rockets are now 11 of 44 from the three-point line.
09:04Yes, indeed.
09:07I think his sister is probably the better athlete of the family.
09:10There's no doubt about it.
09:12Highly decorated.
09:14Taco turns inside for two and one.
09:16Look at that Boston bench.
09:18So, Celtics going to win it 134 to 107.
09:24And Matt, again.
09:25Anehisi Brussel.
09:25Anehisiединitimator.
09:36Unit 3.
