00:00The Boston Celtics are three games over 500 and coming off a nice win at Portland on Tuesday
00:07by one on a terrific shot by their Jason Tatum. Here's Tatum. Triple. Walker. Nice ball rotation
00:17of fake and flying inside. Brown gets it to go.
00:21Boston comes in having won four consecutive game. Beautiful shot outside. Canning it.
00:30Here's a one, three of five, and four of seven. Prior to all that, they had lost seven of 11.
00:37It's Horton Tucker inside, and Reggie, he is scoring well off the bench.
00:43Now they bring in the rookie, Peyton Pritchard. Outside, smart, three. Good! Smart!
00:50He's two of two.
00:53He's been shooting the ball particularly well on the road as well.
00:57Nice move there by Jalen.
00:58Horton Tucker gets that one to go off the baseline.
01:02Here's Harrell. Thompson is waiting. He'll try to shovel his way inside. Got it to go!
01:08Leaning inside. Horton Tucker is there. There come the Lakers the other way, beating the Hornets in Charlotte.
01:14101-93-2.
01:16Boston leading by eight. One time by 14. This bench group has gotten them back in. Long three. No.
01:23Lankford cleans it up and puts it back up and in.
01:26Brown had ten points in the first four minutes.
01:29Celtics build a lead of 14.
01:31Down to eight as we go to the second.
01:33The only other starter on the floor is Caldwell Pope.
01:37Otherwise, Harrell, Macklemore, and Alphonso McKinney in.
01:40A dive and a deuce.
01:42Lamar short. Pritchard the rebound.
01:48Healthy Boston team inside. Pritchard got it to go.
01:52Rookie the Pac-12 player of the year at Oregon.
01:55Finding minutes and a big contributor to this Boston team.
01:58Schroeder lines up.
01:59Late defense. Their time by Tatum.
02:02Bound by Jalen Brown.
02:03He had 24 in Portland on Tuesday.
02:05He'll take it the length and put up a floater.
02:08Another one.
02:09And this one just below the free throw line.
02:13And then Caruso, who did about everything.
02:15And Frank Vogel talked about him being the star in the Charlotte win.
02:19Tuesday, eight points in eight minutes.
02:21Comes off the bench, Reg.
02:23And again, the L.A. bench has been terrific with a...
02:27Could easily talk about what a Hall of Fame coach he was.
02:30But Kevin, to me, he was a better friend.
02:32A husband to Nancy and father to five children.
02:36One up.
02:37Kuzma can't get it.
02:39And here comes Smart.
02:41On the floor.
02:42Brown, Thompson, Walker, and Williams with him.
02:45The drive down the lane.
02:48Tristan Thompson back out there.
02:49Here comes Smart.
02:51Sets up.
02:52Into Thompson.
02:53Got inside on Kuzma.
02:55Beautiful ball movement there by Boston.
02:57Here's Gasol.
03:02It's a three.
03:0315 points the other night.
03:05In the win in Florida against Toronto.
03:08Good fake by Brown.
03:10Deceptive move.
03:11Back outside.
03:12Tatum.
03:12Three.
03:13Got it.
03:14Got two of the top ten players in the game getting ready to come back.
03:18That's why I wouldn't be sweating where they are right now.
03:21What a pass.
03:21Inside is the aforementioned Tatum with the matchup on Schroeder.
03:27Feeding out Walker.
03:29On top.
03:29Brown.
03:30Three.
03:30Good.
03:31Puts it down.
03:32LeBron James be back in three weeks.
03:35Over three weeks or under three weeks?
03:37Oh my goodness.
03:38Look at that.
03:39Jack hammering it in is Brown.
03:41Minutes are up.
03:42And Kuz tonight with only three on a one of five start.
03:46Tatum tripled.
03:47And then there are a couple different combinations.
03:49We'll get into that more in the second half.
03:52Here comes Brown.
03:53He has been stellar.
03:5419 points.
03:55Got that one to drop.
04:00Lakers trying to ratchet things up as they try to go inside.
04:05Here comes Schroeder.
04:07And he picked here.
04:08He's got to get going offensively here for the Lakers.
04:10The shorthanded Lakers.
04:11What a pass.
04:11Good decision.
04:12Walker in stride.
04:14Tristan Thompson.
04:14What a feed.
04:16Reggie right there by Walker.
04:17On that shot.
04:18Matthews.
04:18Kuzma controls.
04:23Caldwell Pope.
04:24Kuz for three.
04:27Schroeder.
04:28Trying to wedge his way in.
04:30Kicks it out.
04:31Kuzma.
04:32Against Walker and a floater on the fly.
04:34And if he can continue to make moves like that.
04:38Bulldozing inside.
04:40Brown got the feed from Thompson.
04:41Thompson.
04:44Thompson doing it all.
04:47Gasol.
04:48Will let it fly.
04:50Another three.
04:51His third.
04:52We've seen tandem go behind his back.
04:53Great passing.
04:54Terrific chemistry.
04:55They can't finish the three.
04:57But the offensive rebound by Thompson.
04:58The three by.
04:59Oh.
05:00Nah.
05:02Here we go.
05:04It's Jalen Brown.
05:06Smart.
05:06He's hit a couple threes.
05:07And he launches one here.
05:09Anthony Davis.
05:10One point.
05:11Laker win.
05:12In Boston.
05:13A terrific game.
05:13Kuzma.
05:14Will try to cook something up inside.
05:16And gets it to drop.
05:17Some of this passing in that high post area.
05:22Walker trying to dance.
05:24Schroeder's defense is off.
05:25And we know Schroeder can't cut.
05:26He's got seven.
05:28In 23 minutes on the floor.
05:30He had a terrific game the other night.
05:3221 up in Portland.
05:33Another shot by Marc Gasol.
05:36Yes.
05:36Against Toronto.
05:39Here comes Tatum.
05:41Walker in the corner.
05:42Triple.
05:42Good.
05:43Puts it through.
05:44Curls.
05:47Hooks it in.
05:48Thompson there.
05:49Doubled.
05:50And a robust move with a great feed.
05:52And Houston is playing their best basketball of the season right now.
05:55Tonight shooting just under 60%.
05:58Three Schroeder book it.
06:00Remember this has been a season of inconsistency and disappointment because of COVID and injuries.
06:07For defense.
06:08Here's a shot by Kuzma.
06:10Want to stay up to date?
06:12Just tell Siri.
06:13Show me basketball scores.
06:16Here 82-75 with another jump shot.
06:20Gasol is out.
06:21He's got four threes and 18 points.
06:24Really keeping LA in it.
06:25Brown with 25.
06:27Tatum with 14.
06:28Weaving here.
06:29Brown now with 27.
06:3127 points on 12 of 13.
06:35He does have a 42-point game from earlier in the season.
06:39Good spin move.
06:40Now he's got 12.
06:41Make it 14.
06:46Brown.
06:47Why not?
06:48Scoops it home.
06:49That was moments ago.
06:50Here comes the Boston offense.
06:54Brown will put up a three.
06:55Got it right there.
06:56Right there.
06:57He is on fire.
06:59Knocked away.
06:59Cornette with his third block tonight for the Boston Celtics.
07:03And inside.
07:04Driving.
07:05Brown cannot be stopped.
07:06The way he goes.
07:07McKinney is right there.
07:09Pritchard.
07:10Why not give it to Brown?
07:11Doubled here.
07:12Into Cornette.
07:13Back to Pritchard.
07:14The rookie with a three.
07:16Going back to December of 2012.
07:19He's got 36.
07:21And inside.
07:21Here comes Williams who slams it in.
07:24I think the first game back is always toughest at home, huh?
07:28You have dead legs.
07:29You got family obligations.
07:32Your body is just adjusting to your time zone.
07:35Brown has led the brigade.
07:38Williams.
07:40Romeo Langford across the lane.
07:42Pritchard uncorking a three.
07:45Rebound by Pritchard.
07:46He is doing it all.
07:48Seventh rebound.
07:49Cornette.
07:50Another three.
07:51That time he douses it from outside.
07:57Oh, what a move by Williams.
07:59What a drive inside by Williams for two.
08:03Wheeling in.
08:04He can't get it to go.
08:05Who changed the shot there?
08:06Cornette.
08:08What a move there by Peyton Pritchard.
08:11Wow.
08:12Are you kidding me?
08:14Not including LeBron and Davis.
08:16Two starters were out tonight for Los Angeles on the front line.
08:20And it showed.
08:21McLemore triple.
08:22He puts it in.
08:24But, you know, if you need.
08:25We saw tonight how Gasol was so effective at stretching the floor.
08:28That's something Drummond cannot do.
08:32Won't drop.
08:34Neesmith is in.
08:37Oh, look at the drive.
08:38The flying play.
08:39And count it for two.
08:41And a foul.
08:42Playing right now.
08:44Wagner.
08:44And Horton Tucker.
08:49One thing the Lakers have.
08:50Here's McLemore launching another three.
08:53Rebound by Antetokounmpo.
08:55Horton Tucker.
08:56He'll take it in.
08:58Find McKinney who puts it up and through.
09:00In a blink of an eye.
09:01They come down.
09:02Last thing they wanted to do is bring these guys back in.
09:05They're loading up.
09:07Ten point game.
09:08McLemore inside.
09:09There's a jam.
09:10And Kaycock.
09:11Season.
09:14Oh!
09:15Putting it down.
09:17McLemore.
09:17In the final five minutes.
09:19The most of any team.
09:21Tatum is in.
09:22Here comes Brown behind the back.
09:23Maneuvering inside.
09:25Swiveling for two.
09:26Got to speed up the game here for the Lakers.
09:33He'll snake inside.
09:34Find a gap and hit another one.
09:36Holds on to it.
09:37And Boston with a push at the end by the Lakers with their bench starring.
09:57I'm sorry.
09:57I'm sorry.
09:58I'm sorry.
09:58I'm sorry.
