00:01Last night was magical.
00:08Luka and Lebron were too hot to handle, but so were Katie and Shane Goon.
00:19There was an explosion in Cleveland and all of a sudden Charlotte is the hottest team in the league.
00:24But let's start in Chicago where the Lakers got up and running early.
00:31James was especially hyped and ready to ball in this one.
00:42He single-handedly turned the two-point advantage into a double-digit lead at the start of the second quarter when…
00:49...the Lakers are the best.
00:50Lebron's corner of the cube will step back over.
00:51But he's the best.
00:52James was especially hyped and ready to ball in this one.
00:55He single-handedly turned the two-point advantage into a double-digit lead at the start of the second quarter when…
01:01...minutes to play.
01:02Good pass by Dini.
01:03Really good pass but a better play by Rui Hachimura.
01:07To block.
01:08Vujovic from behind.
01:09They're strong, Lebron.
01:10What a sequence for the Lakers.
01:13Lebron's corner of the cube will step back over.
01:16Vujovic.
01:17All games off the bench.
01:19Lebron goes baseline.
01:20Bezelis can't do anything about it.
01:23A 10-2 takeover by vintage Lebron.
01:26The Bulls couldn't contain him whatsoever.
01:28Look at him flying up and down the court eager to show off like he's just coming into the league.
01:34Not a good pass.
01:35Oh, Lebron had it.
01:36But it went right to Bezelis.
01:37Now they steal it.
01:38Here comes Jake.
01:39Lebron.
01:40Throw it down.
01:43Check this out.
01:45In the first 17 minutes of the game, James exploded for 20 points on 9 of 13 from the field.
01:51That's incredible.
01:52And he wanted more as we see him on the bench telling his teammates to play through him every time.
01:57But after the timeout, he missed his next fadeaway shot and JJ took him out for a breather.
02:03Then Luka came in to keep the Bulls guessing.
02:06Here it is.
02:07Donchage.
02:08Throw it down.
02:09The lob.
02:10The jam.
02:11The others work.
02:12Of course.
02:13Here's Donchage underneath.
02:14Donchage with it.
02:15Boy, very patient.
02:16And the lookaway pass to Laravia for three.
02:20Geez.
02:21Donchage fooled with both Vuj and Okoro before passing the ball to Jake Laravia in the corner.
02:27He's such a marvel to watch.
02:28Plus, he's got the strength to put smaller defenders in the basket when they're left alone
02:33on an aisle.
02:34And look at him fully wide with the fake pass before hitting smart up top for the wide open
02:39three.
02:40You're the zone.
02:41You're not account for that guy apparently.
02:42That's how you get him out of the zone.
02:44Luka's passing clinic got the Lakers up by 17 points.
02:48And they got up to a game high 20 on this possession.
02:51Turning defense into offense.
02:53Forcing 12 turnovers by Chicago in the first half.
02:56However, the Bulls weren't ready to raise the white flag just yet.
03:00Bulls on the top.
03:01Coming up on a minute to play.
03:03And they knock it down from three.
03:05And then enter the fourth down double digits.
03:09That is a little step to the left.
03:15Now Vujovic got it.
03:17Kobe White and company went nuts from downtown.
03:20Hitting seven of nine in a span of six minutes.
03:23The Lakers were caught in a heavy blizzard.
03:25And I mean literally.
03:26Right back out for White.
03:27That's a tough shot.
03:28Oh.
03:29Rolls around, spills out.
03:30Goes back right in again.
03:31They get around Dacic momentarily.
03:32Another three.
03:33Another make.
03:34Unconscious.
03:35This is crazy.
03:36With nine of his 23 points, White led the Bulls to a remarkable 31 to 12 stretch.
03:46And the comeback was real.
03:48Or so they thought it was.
03:49That one's tapped by Larabia again.
03:51Boy Jake everywhere.
03:54Mark is down the middle out of the counter.
03:57It goes.
03:58It goes.
03:59And a three point opportunity.
04:00Really good time down the floor for the Lakers D.
04:03Luca with some magic into the corner.
04:06Jay finds Rui.
04:08For the string music.
04:10Have you seen that?
04:11A behind the back cross court pass in transition.
04:14And the Lakers are back up to nine.
04:16Thanks to an 8-0 blitz in less than a minute.
04:19And Luca knows when a teammate is hot.
04:21So he found Hachimura again on the same spot for another triple.
04:25Rui has been bawling lately.
04:27And Doncic was simply too groovy to let this one slip away.
04:31Another beautiful bullet pass by Luca who was carrying the Lakers on his shoulders in the
04:54third period scoring 20 of the team's 35 points.
04:57And suddenly their lead was back up to 15 heading into the fourth.
05:01The Bulls gave their best to try and return one more time.
05:04But Doncic knew how to keep them away.
05:07He checked and look at his face.
05:28He's in the zone.
05:30But no one was ready for this on the next play.
05:33Defense by Jackson Hayes.
05:35Jackson Hayes on the way.
05:36Yeah!
05:37Jackson with Millen.
05:40Jackson Hayes pulls out the ease bay for the exclamation point.
05:44At the end Luca finished his monster game with 46 points and 11 assists on 60% efficiency.
05:51Man he is unreal.
05:53Moving on to Houston where shockingly enough the Rockets fell down by double digits against
05:58the depleted Grizzlies squad in the third quarter led by the Jacksons.
06:02Gigi and Jaren Jackson led the balanced attack for Memphis while Cam Spencer was in charge
06:14of the distribution.
06:15The other way comes back across on the skip to a wide open KCP.
06:21So down by 10 in the middle of the third quarter Katie had enough.
06:25Whips it back out to Durant.
06:26Does not take the three.
06:27Gets to the rim!
06:28Mic'd up tonight for you.
06:29Durant rolled off.
06:30So he'll just pull up and shoot over the top of Williams.
06:31That's 19 for Durant.
06:32Durant in rhythm the three.
06:33Good!
06:34He gets one to go.
06:35He's got 22 Rockets who were down 10 are now only down 3.
06:36With 12 of his 33 points Durant got the Rockets back within one heading into the fourth.
06:50And there was Alper and Shangoon ready to take over the scoring duties from his pal.
07:15Alper wasn't just scoring, he was grabbing offensive boards and dishing out to his teammates as
07:20well.
07:22But no one was expecting this.
07:37He's got a great basketball sounding name too.
07:40GG!
07:41Oh!
07:42Time!
07:43Look at that!
07:44The pirouette!
07:45And then!
07:46The Turkish Terminator destroyed the Grizzlies in the final period with 12 of his 33 points
07:52and the Rockets were rolling.
07:54Look at him pulling the same exact move for three straight times.
07:57And it worked.
07:58Just took it for another.
08:02He'll take the challenge of the finish.
08:05Shangoon!
08:06And he loses that challenge as he put him into a blender again.
08:10He's ISOing his defenders up top like he's a guard or a small forward.
08:14But when push came to shove and the Rockets were up by only 6 points, it was time for the
08:19Slim Reaper to finish them.
08:21Shangoon!
08:22To Durant!
08:23Calmly!
08:24Takes it!
08:25And this time, makes it!
08:26His third three!
08:27Great action from Houston!
08:29Another one!
08:30Back to back trees!
08:32In clutch time!
08:33Bang!
08:34Bang!
08:35KD puts the final nails in the coffin for Memphis.
08:38When you have two guys like this balling out on the same night, there's nothing you can
08:43do about it really.
08:44And the Orlando Magic had absolutely no clue what to do with Donovan Mitchell because…
08:49Provident right hand spins back, little fade away jumper, beautiful shot.
08:52Mitchell had it knocked away momentarily, steadying himself, he put it up and in and
08:57drew the foul.
08:58Mitchell pulls up and buries it three, Donovan Mitchell.
09:04Out cruises Mitchell.
09:06Mitchell around black, Mitchell reverses and scores and the Orlando Magic simply had no
09:12answer.
09:13After scoring 26 points in the first half of a tight game, Spida decided to ramp things
09:18up in the third quarter.
09:39Levin was unstoppable in this one, scoring 12 of his 45 points on 60% from the field to
09:44put the Cavs up by a dozen.
09:46Paolo Bancaro tried to get his team closer in the fourth, but whenever the lead got in
09:51danger, Spida was right there to keep them at distance.
09:54Nice job by Bancaro, he is absolutely difficult to deal with in the final moments of a game
09:59as well as this young man.
10:00Cleveland is on a nice little four game winning streak right now, winning seven of their last
10:05ten games nearing the Knicks for the fourth seed.
10:08And another team that's been balling out lately are the Charlotte Hornets believe it or not.
10:12First man down the floor.
10:15Oh!
10:16Nice!
10:17My bitches how do you do?
10:19Only 15...
10:21Oh!
10:22Moose!
10:23Oh!
10:2476ers, four games over 500.
10:27Oh!
10:28Moose!
10:30Oh what a first half for Moose Diapote!
10:35They absolutely demolished the 76ers last night, leading by 50 at one point.
10:49That's ugly.
10:50Everything was going in for Charlotte.
10:52Even the fans were cooking.
10:54Hey, minor, drum roll, please.
10:57In three, two, and one.
11:01Come on, Phillip.
11:05$1,000.
11:11Let's go.
11:13Let's go.
11:14Oh my God.
11:15Let's go.
11:16Yo, Phillip.
11:17That's an OG head rocking Dale Curry's jersey.
11:20And Brandon Miller shot the ball pretty much like he's a Curry himself.
11:24Today may be a good day to rescue.
11:27Brandon, he has got two three-pointers to begin our third quarter.
11:31Conn, back out to Brandon, hit one there a moment ago.
11:35Two and a roll from the exact same spot.
11:38Brandon.
11:39Wow.
11:40What a catch and find by Brandon Miller.
11:43No doubt.
11:43Miller was scorching hot, hitting 6 of 8 from long range on his way to 30 points to lead
11:498 players in double figures for Charlotte.
11:51And here's a staggering fact for y'all.
11:53In the month of January, the Hornets have the number one offense in the league.
11:58They're also fifth in defense and have the best net rating out of all 30 teams.
12:02Are you kidding me?
12:03It's not surprising they won four of their last five games with that kind of production.
12:08It'll be interesting to see if they can go a level beyond and try to reach the play in
12:12this season.
12:13And nobody expected for the Boston Celtics to be this good at midpoint.
12:17Here's White.
12:18Matched up with Holliday.
12:19Nice move by Derek White.
12:21Three seconds left in the quarter.
12:22Pritchard to beat the buzzer.
12:24Yes!
12:25That's what he does!
12:27JB the up fake.
12:29The fade away.
12:29Over two Blazers it goes.
12:31Another wire-to-wire win for the green mean machine, leading by as many as 23 points.
12:37The Blazers tried to mount a comeback with a very late push in the fourth, getting to
12:42minus five with 40 seconds to play, but they were denied immediately.
12:46Bowser, White, goodnight!
12:49Derek White sealed the win right there, as the trio of him, Brown and Pritchard combined
12:54for 61 points, which proved to be too much for Portland.
12:58And just a day after the Warriors blew out the Wolves in Minnesota by 26 points, they met
13:03again.
13:04But this time, the Doves were left without all their main guys.
13:07Besides Butler and Kaminga, the Currys, Green, Horford and Melton were all in street clothes
13:13for the rematch.
13:14The Wolves also lagged their superstar, but that didn't stop Randall and company from tearing
13:18apart Golden State.
13:20Can't hit Gobert no more.
13:24Steven Chendo looking for an opening.
13:26Touched it up!
13:27Gobert throwing it down.
13:30Reid now.
13:31On the draw!
13:32That's what I'm talking about.
13:36There you go.
13:37Heel.
13:37Oh!
13:37Heel!
13:38Spotted out of there by Steven Chendo!
13:40Sixth Timberwolves scored 14 points or more in a sweet revenge game, as they're hanging
13:45on to the sixth seed by a hair.
13:47Last night was magical, but in my previous video, the NBA turned into a circus show, so
