00:00It feels like it you know they bring Porter Junior back in the game then they may have to play him every minute because he's
00:06About the only one that can generate some real offense for them individually
00:12So the Lakers understand that I believe so they'll start to lift him a little bit
00:23Baskin interference. Yes, you will often some defensive interference
00:30It was four in a row at home. They just got off a road trip where they went one of four
00:41We excited about dodgy cat for a minute how to bounce off of Brooklyn
00:45And this is setting itself up for really a great way for load management
00:50You get a big lead the third quarter comes out. You try to increase it a little bit
00:55And then you get your your stars
00:57A lot of risk at 13 to 1 Laker run
01:01Over to Rui and a lot of guys joining in the front, too
01:05And that's just been one or two guys the Arabia underneath can't score just get the whistle
01:10Brooklyn's got it reaching in with Hades. We're gonna see Austin. He's sitting right in front of us back in the game in a matter of moments
01:20They all
01:22Porter jr. No, he's thinking about it
01:24He's thinking about it
01:26Stuff right there
01:28Shark
01:30Tied up
01:32He can't hit
01:34It'll be later basketball
01:37Well as well as the Lakers are shooting
01:40Brooklyn's only shooting 33 percent. I didn't think it was that hot. Well, how about this one? How about this ready? Ready?
01:46What what for 17 from three?
01:48What happened when you jump off at two feet? Welcome back. I believe he jumped off at two. I got confusion block the fish there by KJ
02:08For the junior great double-team by the Lakers making him off to that shot
02:18MPJ
02:20Has a look at that last basket by the Lakers as Austin Reeves goes in and
02:25He's awful one, but he absorbed all the contact. I mean they tried verticality
02:30But Austin shows some strength there and made it look rather routine
02:34Hmm
02:35What did wrong to get back and swing to things doesn't know when you're good? Yeah, yes
02:40Definitely that board is to do the three-point play
02:45Now the Lakers on offense offensively Lakers
02:50Rape in the top ten
02:52In the NBA, but they tried over there for the six time
02:57I'll see another yeah, I want to take nobody who's trying to force you to win me
03:02Thanks, sir. No, we keep it the defender on his head. Now. It's really so please
03:09With three and a half to play there the second shooter at the half and said it back to help the gun
03:14Oh, we lost he lost his footy
03:22What that was all about
03:25All room is going to do is time up. He was exasperated the fact that yeah down. Yeah, I didn't go down
03:31A little frustrated. Yeah
03:38And it crossed up itself you got a technical foul here on
03:43Is it on the coach?
03:45I know one day Austin Reeves is already at the free throw line waiting to shoot
03:53That's on Jordy Fernandez is the technical foul the head coach
03:58Yeah, a frustrating year. Yeah, you could say that they started 0 and 7 1 and 11 3 and 16. You know, they had a stretch
04:07We know this season they won seven out of ten and in fact, you're not going to believe this
04:12But in December they weren't about that they were one of the highest rated defenses in the whole league
04:18Think about that in the league in the month of December
04:23Well, you hope they kept the calendar year ahead nothing but December's into this
04:28Once December ended they'll get their defense
04:30Defense
04:32Sixty
04:34Thirty-three
04:36Laker leave
04:38This is about the top 70
04:44It's not gonna happen long lead pass
04:50Doesn't score the radio who is having a career year rebounding the basketball has another one there
04:56A little bit of a dance will reorganize him step boys putting that ball up run but nearly was taken away now
05:06We've in the lanes read this is all about his possession. Let's take it by Brooklyn
05:12That's a clown
05:15LeBron and come back to the cheers of the crowd at a moment
05:18That one is kicked out of bounds kick save and a beauty. You know, we've got a timeout with 237
05:24To go in the half and it's been a half. That's been all
05:28Lakers
05:29If they lead it
05:31big
05:34First half as the Lakers lead at 69 to 33 and that man LeBron James has
05:40Had this building on their feet. I mean he has made some spectacular plays
05:46So far in the game
05:49Got a couple of steals and he's converted both of his steals
05:52One is an assist
05:54And then the other one with a
05:56Famous dunking another course
05:58Gets the assist from Austin
06:00But he's been all about energy
06:02He understands the importance
06:04Of the last game of a long
06:07Road trip regardless of who the opponent is. Yeah, the Lakers have been in the New York area for over four days
06:13We're on you a little bit just being in one place. Well for that long it makes it seem longer
06:21It's been the weather that's
06:23Awful
06:24Coop them everybody up and it has been
06:27For reason we legitimately chased the cold the entire trip starting in Dallas and then working towards you
06:34George is no days above reason
06:37This is a
06:40That's turnover
06:42Number 11
06:45On the air Brooklyn turns it over over 15 times a game
06:50Lakers most points and a half this year 81 against the Hawks
06:54That's not January 13th
06:55Lakers taking their time on this possession
07:02Luke up
07:04I'm gonna call over the river and bounce it around
07:08There's a slow getting back defensively which is
07:12Go all the way in and throw it down
07:15Yeah, once he got past the first wave there was nobody on the back line
07:19To contest nobody came back
07:22Point to the paint 34 Lakers 22 Brooklyn
07:27Reeves out there with James and Dodgett so all three on the floor at the same time
07:33Reeves with three with two Luca is wide open in the corner
07:39He's the driest spell the Lakers have had here in the first half
07:45Porter Junior in a river open
07:48That's a big game against the Lakers in the past together
07:52Huge game
07:54Gilman from the outside
07:58Yegore the open
08:00We were right in line with that one as soon as he left his hand
08:03You knew that was good, doesn't he?
08:04Pretty looking shot
08:06Yeah, he's offensive foul
08:07Yeah, Luka hooking
08:10Been right around clowning and he used his right arm to
08:14Hook the defenders a little sloppy late here with the Nets
08:19I'm scoring the Lakers over the last couple of minutes. Remember the biggest lead was 38
08:26Still 31
08:30We'll give it a seven in a row
08:32Reeves
08:34Holds on looks for some health eight was trailing doesn't want to give it to him bounces it to LeBron
08:39He's alone on this side alone on the island
08:42Now they double up reads set
08:44Fire
08:46Hit the front of the rim rolls off
08:48Luka tried to save it now
08:50In the first row
08:51They would go to Brooklyn with under a minute to play
08:54Yeah, this is the longest dry spell the Lakers have had here in the first half
09:00Only 40 seconds left
09:02Yeah, if it wasn't for this big lead we'd be talking about the Lakers
09:060 for 9 for 3 in the second quarter
09:13And Ava outscored of 9-0 in this run
09:21Lakers have been stuck on 69 for a while
09:24Shot clock is 7 ahead of the game clock
09:27So the Lakers do let down a little bit at the end of the half
09:31Other than that it's a bit of sparkling first two quarters
09:33Gosh it stops double the block down the middle he goes
09:38Goes close it up
09:40Can't score with six and now with five
09:42Woodville is an opportunity to get a hoop right
09:44He's over the half
09:46And they'll shoot it for the corner
09:48And they can't score
09:52Still do all good
09:54Yeah, I mean a good first half overall
09:56A little dry spell to end the quarter last few minutes
09:59But they still own the big lead
10:00And Reeves makes his debut
10:05All right, here's Mike with JJ
10:07All right, JJ obviously a much better start to the half than finish there
10:10What do you have to do to just kind of maintain that energy to start at the third quarter?
10:13I think we did a good job of playing after getting stopped
10:17So, you know, defensively it was a good half for us
10:19And that created a lot of early offense for us
10:21What did you make of Austin in his limited minutes?
10:23Thought he got great shots
10:25I thought he was moving well
10:26Played really good basketball
10:28All right, thanks coach
10:29All right guys, we will go to break here and then join us for the AXS Sportsnet halftime report
10:34From back in California
10:35For Toyota dealers, we make it easy
10:43The Brooklyn Knicks are the opposition and boy they are not showing any resistance so far
10:5069 to 40 at intermission
10:54Time to revisit the Lexus keys to the game
10:55I wanted 38 percent from behind the arc
10:59Good luck with that
11:01After going four for six in the first quarter
11:04The Lakers missed nine in a row
11:06In the second offensive rebounds
11:09Tied at six fast break opportunities Lakers have a big advantage there
11:1224 to nine
11:15Mike Trudell aside from
11:17Not being able to shoot the ball from three-point land and free throws
11:20Lakers played pretty well
11:22Played pretty well, Sue
11:23And look the coaching emphasis here is just to keep a foot on the neck, right?
11:27Not let it off. They do have some experience recently at Washington
11:30They had the huge lead
11:31Had a brief spell in the third quarter that wasn't great
11:34All right, and then they kind of
11:36They got going again towards that game and closed out the Wizards with relative ease
11:40So that's the key here again. Just play with energy
11:42They know they're going to get a lift here
11:44As you see, Austin Reeves actually starting this third quarter
11:48And so this will be a little bit of a different look
11:50Jake LaRavy, of course, had been starting
11:52Austin still on a minute's limit
11:54But wanting to try to build him up, build up his strength
11:56And as you heard, J.J. Billy when leaving the floor
11:57Thought Austin looked good. Not a surprise
12:00He's going to miss a couple shots as he tries to find his rhythm
12:02But it was moving up and down pretty good
12:04And they're excited to have him back out there
12:06All right, yeah, you're right
12:07And again, the Lakers scoreless the last three and a half minutes
12:10Of that first half, Stu mentioned it
12:13They didn't hit a three, they were 0 for 9 in it
12:15But a lot of good things
12:17And here's LeBron, first shot, 7 half
12:19Luka led the Lakers in scoring with 15
12:22In the first two quarters, LeBron had a dozen
12:24Trey R.A.
12:27Three-pointer, no good
12:29Rebound now goes to Austin Reeves
12:31So the Lakers start the quarter misses their first three-pointer
12:34So that's ten in a row they missed
12:36So you've got Reeves starting the second half
12:38Instead of Jake LaRavia
12:40So this is a lineup, obviously, we saw before Reeves got hurt
12:44On its way, weak side rebound
12:46DeAndre in good position
12:48To get at LeBron, oh, he goes right to the basket
12:50He lays it up and in
12:52Boy, they open the door and let him in
12:54That leads to a timeout in the first minute of the second half
12:58I tell you, coach of the Nets, not happy
13:01Directed most of his anger at one point
13:07Boys and fans, this Black History Month and beyond
13:11The NBA celebrates the excellence that moves the game forward
13:16We are in February, of course, the other night was the
13:21Anniversary of the Luka trade
13:23That shook the sporting world
13:27You know, a lot of times people say that, but
13:30It's not really the truth
13:31That did
13:33And still does reverberate everywhere
13:37Lakers come right back with the same five that started the second half
13:41Again, they're looking for their 30th win of the year
13:44Their 18th on the road and their 10th
13:46Against the Eastern Conference
13:48They'll play one more against the East
13:50At home
13:52Against Philly, then four in a row against the West
13:55Traore
13:58Placed it on the outside
14:01A lot of pushing and shoving going on
14:03Right around him
14:04LeBron reaches in and gets it
14:07James, look out below
14:09I tell you, this is
14:11I mean, they're just so careless with the basketball
14:14And Marcus could have had that one
14:16I mean, you gotta take the game a little bit more serious than they are right now
14:21LeBron comes from the blind side
14:22Strips it
14:23Gets the easy do
14:25And you can just tell by the body language
14:27The Nets just are not
14:29Feeling it at all
14:3116 points off of turnovers
14:33For the Lake Show
14:35Jerry's got the portrayal
14:37Excuse me, that's five to get in
14:39He does
14:41Nick Claxton went to Georgia for a couple of years
14:43Go dogs
14:45Taken out by Reeves
14:47LeBron in the attacking zone
14:50Will survey
14:51Look
14:53Find smart
14:54Who comes to get the ball now?
14:55He directs traffic
14:57Lob to LeBron out on the wing
14:59All alone
15:00He and smart play a little two-man game
15:02Marcus working on
15:04Clowney
15:06Drifting left shooting right
15:07Yeah, I mean what you do if he adds a right-hander
15:11That's what you do
15:12Get another turnover from the Nets
15:14Now Luca looking all around them making sure nobody was sneaking in behind
15:18He's doubled up there. He is trying to get through the double team
15:21Again, he's as good as anybody at splitting that double
15:23Yeah, that time he used his foot go to
15:26Then they call kickball and turn over for the Lakers
15:30So 6-0 run to start the quarter for the Lakers
15:34Thursday night
15:37At home against the Sixers
15:40Who coming into tonight
15:42Had won four in a row in their 28 and 21
15:46Porter jr. Got it
15:48He's got about 50% of their points
15:50Yeah, he's or they are now three for 23 from downtown three for 23
15:56Right side Luca all alone they try to close out a little bit late
16:01Take it right now by
16:04Damn it
16:08Oh that last one by the way was a two it was not a three it was a two
16:13So they're two for 22 LeBron drive
16:15Kick
16:17Now right-hand side smart
16:19Weekside rebound nobody there before them and they're gonna try and run it
16:22Traore for the whole team
16:25That's good little runner by him and he's got it
16:27Right before he got to the center and the Andre agent. He decided to shoot a little floater. That's what you do though
16:33Keep the big guys guessing a bit. Let's hear a from France. He's played there last year
16:38Played 40 games in France
16:41Open corner. Reeves switches it through
16:46Fresh balls. We have a ball movement that time. Very nice
16:49The open the market see a former defensive player of the year in front of him
16:57Shoot after the catch the ball tries to dip it to himself as he was already heading down at the other end
17:04Now smart they get back defensively LeBron looks to spin instead he goes the other way
17:09He didn't spin he went left and he fooled everybody and laid it up in there. He made a hit fake like he was going that way as they
17:21Clown he turns it over again. They turn it over again behind his back goes Reeves
17:26Reeves now draws the attention of two Nats players working it on the perimeter of the Lakers. They have 80
17:32He had missed a couple in a row this Lucas is by time I get one to fall
17:43He's looking at 18 six and four he barely missed a triple double by two assists the other night in the garden
17:51Porter juniors got to get out of the clear shooting
17:54He did the latter. He's taken on the offensive rebound of the score
17:57Clash in that time working to the offensive glass has double digits of 35 games
18:07It's pretty consistent
18:10Again football movement
18:14By Reeves, yeah
18:18It's the same type of play where the Lakers move the ball in Austin got the triple this time they came up job
18:24But they didn't when Austin had a shot in the corner
18:27The assist goes eight and that's that's the way you move the basketball and then Luca says I don't need any of this
18:33I do it all
18:35Lakers have outscored him by eight near the quarter 14 to 6
18:39So the beat goes on
18:42Trey all right
18:44Porter jr. With 721 to play
18:47In the third quarter
18:48It was there to block it, but we've got bodies on the floor. There's Austin Georgia. They're calling a blocking foul
18:55I believe
18:57No, they changed it to one eight and I thought they were gonna call a blocking foul
19:01On Austin well Reeves in the top five and drawing fouls at the end. I'm like the Lakers are challenging this here
19:07We go the green light the lamp is lit
19:09That was a strange looking call at the end
19:15If anything I thought it was going to be maybe a block
19:18On
19:20Austin. We'll take the break come back with the decision in a minute
19:25The rule that in fact the Andre Aiden did get contact
19:30With Porter jr.
19:32He gets contacted right there and that takes away the offensive foul
19:36On Porter because he does run over Austin Reeves
19:43No more challenges for the Lakers
19:45There is a challenge remaining for Brooklyn
19:49Porter jr.
19:5124 minutes already so heavy minutes for him
19:5517 points he's got six boards
19:58Has not made a three though and that is he looked on the right of that graphic
20:03That's the big surprise
20:04Free throwing he's five out of seven
20:09All right, how about this right now from Cerritos auto square?
20:14The Cerritos auto square sell so many cars because they have low prices and they have low prices because they sell so many
20:19Back to bolt down it does
20:25He's a good free throw shooter. He's a good shooter. Yeah period Lakers biggest lead 39 tonight the quarter action here in Brooklyn
20:37James not a left-hand side dodge it gets into the key waters in there that just steps back easily and rattles it in
20:47Boy, he's got complete control that speed that can have more lack of people want to say the great ones they play the game at their pace
20:54All the way at the other end the Reeves gets beat to the river and they lay it up in it courtesy of Traore
21:01He's played at the top tier league in France last year
21:06He played at the top tier league in France last year
21:10He was going to play his share of international basketball and starred in it
21:15He's starred in it
21:22The Porter Jr. Was hoping to catch that clearly he was looking again to shoot LeBron got a hand on it still dying to shoot
21:30On its way for three
21:32That's a bit of a heartbreak LeBron
21:35Scores
21:37On the outlet from AR
21:39He still has a lot of acceleration
21:42He came on
21:44You're on all night long
21:4641 years of age
21:49Gonna be an all-star again
21:51Yeah, a little bit of resistance that time for Marcus smart, but he'll throw it down
21:57Well, we're gonna see LaRavia and Vincent in in a moment if not too soon because really we can't see the other basket because of that
22:05And here it is a miss
22:08They tried to get it out of bounds it goes
22:13Another look at the long pass by Austin and Ron just easily
22:18Lays it up and lays it in that sterling defense of the Nets
22:22On display
22:24So this Laker team playing like a team better than five and five in their last ten
22:29Of course the opposition one of the worst teams right now in the league they have 13 wins
22:35Lowest in the league is a dozen and that's Sacramento
22:39Open Thomas he'll give it up though to Charlie in the corner
22:44It's gonna unselfish play that time by Tom. Yes, maybe extra pants
22:48Okay
22:52Jackson Hayes also is coming in there now three out of 24 from beyond the arc
22:57Josh's wards off his band and no whistle they say play on
23:02Which means they're there for the break and they can't connect on the alley-oop
23:07Porter for three
23:09I was gonna say finally and his body language says it all right now
23:15He's over seven
23:17Like I said earlier in the game where he excels
23:21That's his money out there
23:23Wide open shot for gate
23:26He's been playing all right the last few games
23:29Underneath Arabia throws it up and in
23:32Offensive rebound and he spins for a layout between two defenders
23:37That you gave last three games averaging eight and a half points bird it's his 15th straight appearance now
23:45He's on defense the pride of UCSB
23:48That's knocked out of bounds so it's a revolving door over here at the at the scorers table
23:54You know as long as they get him in in a hurry
23:57I mean seriously you can't see see anything from disadvantage point when they're all standing here
24:04Only occasionally is JJ a wall to our vision but that's when the players come in and out
24:10That's the way it's always been here in the front row here in the NBA as we are here tonight
24:16We back in chicks nest on Thursday
24:18Underneath Luka challenge but the ease and soft way at that time by sharp who is a four for five tonight
24:26Luka all the way with ease all too easy for Luka Doncic
24:34I mean everything you've been rather easy for the Lakers tonight
24:37I see why they're 55%
24:43More they're gonna back up. It's good little pass over now the right wing side
24:47And nothing but net so they get a couple of threes all of a sudden in succession when they couldn't buy one
24:53For minutes at a time
24:56These two teams will meet up again in Los Angeles in March on the 27th
25:02Head thing. Oh, that's a bullet behind the back pass. What made that so impressive was the velocity on it. Yes
25:10You see how easily he does that man?
25:13I mean, it's cool that he threw up behind his back, but I think it was humming
25:17Dark bounce
25:20Thomas with a little over three minutes to play here in the third quarter
25:25He's trying to work on his that's a little versus big and a little wins that time their speed
25:31Usually wins in those kind of matchups
25:34Like you're sitting on 93 again their biggest lead has been
25:4039
25:42Jake takes the distance to get a banker. It's nice to see him back at double figures
25:50Yeah, it's been a single digits on a strength here recently
25:55I don't need more Lakers want to sleep defensively taking a nap that time
26:00Of course the intensity of the game is it's a much different feel than it was right at the beginning
26:05So I did so look at that look at this. I get it. Nobody helps. I mean, that's the whole thing. Nobody helped
26:13So that's what the team's court, you know, especially on the defensive here
26:16You're not going to stop people one-on-one. You've got to get defensive support and he beat Williams
26:21But then nobody no friends were there
26:25Porter
26:27Continues to be empty for three
26:29The big goose egg over eight
26:32And we kept saying he's good play good player
26:35Career high this year in a six
26:38Luca misses
26:39And she'll say good on the offensive end Porter. Here he is
26:47Not saying he's a poor defense but offense is where he really shines and again another three so
26:54JJ seen it up with that long-distance stuff. Well, I mean once the Lakers get out of defensive positioning
27:00They're getting some open looks when they keep their defense manned up
27:04They make it hard
27:06On Brooklyn another look at that play by Luca behind the back to Jake for the assist that was that was some look
27:13Really the only pass that could have been successful next trip down. He just waltzes in takes it easy layup. I mean this is
27:21Really an easy workout for the Lakers tonight
27:26Well, it'll be interesting to see what JJ does in the fourth quarter because he has been
27:32Hesitant with big leads this year
27:35Letting the bench start and go through the entire third quarter. I think he might change his turn
27:41Yeah, but he's been hesitant for good reason
27:44I mean seriously
27:46They've given up some nice cushions
27:48So you know when you're coaching like that you just get a little leery about going to your bench too soon
27:54This would be a crazy cushion to give up if they do tonight drag in the box
28:00Game summary
28:01Luca. All right. He averages over 30. He's a 24
28:05And 4 for 11 from 3, but of course everybody else is having some fun. Watch it again. Watch it again
28:11Austin LeBron
28:14He's got 20 and 5 and welcome back Stu to Austin Reeves
28:17What do you think so far? I've been impressed with Austin. I'll be sure he hasn't made
28:21Some shots from the perimeter that he normally knocks down
28:24But this is first game back in a long time
28:28So I've been impressed you I'll be even more impressed if there's no repercussions
28:32If there's no repercussions after the game with that cast he was hurt on Christmas Day
28:39His first action since then relatively even third quarter by the way Lakers 28 that's
28:4527 has that feel obviously
28:48Let's come out in a look like a zone zone to be matched up
28:51Now the right-hand side Vincent a little update down the middle he goes doesn't bother the two-point country office
28:58He did that time missed it Brooklyn with a little mini break here. They come we're trying to get around LeBron of course
29:04He played with LeBron's son
29:07In high school, so it's always something special when they match up together
29:11Wolf way off
29:14Wide right don't tell any Buffalo Bill fan that now here is
29:18Brooklyn shooting scoring the spin of the score by Williams
29:24Good chance that he and Bronny will share the court a little bit later on tonight
29:31La Ravia
29:34Start of the game only Laker to play in every contest this year
29:39Less than a minute to go in the third Jake is open looks good
29:43That's the one I wanted to see Jake knock down
29:45He's he's been really shooting no par from behind the arc of late
29:51On the year 33 percent are from three
29:54By the way, he's top 20 in NBA steals and leaves the Lakers in steals
30:00In fact, he's second in minutes
30:02On this team to Luca Thomas
30:05Really ran with it with two with one to beat the clock and all of a sudden
30:10They're flexing their three-point muscles
30:16Let's do Lakers should get the last shot
30:19Shot clock has been turned off in the third
30:21Brooklyn
30:23I was going to say Brooklyn should come out and
30:25Try to get the ball out of LeBron's hands
30:26They had a foul to give and they gave it you know
30:29Because LeBron made a move to the basket they had to make the
30:31Give the foul but it left nine left nine seconds on the clock
30:36You want to let LeBron dance out front with it for a while and then
30:38Take the foul with like two seconds
30:40Brooklyn's made four threes here in the third
30:43One hundred to seventy-two
30:48Into LeBron James who's tried to find his man Hayes they've got time
30:50In fact, they're gonna get a dunk at the other end or laying
30:54How about that?
30:56They lay it up they lay it in so the Lakers give up the final points at the quarter
30:59Unless Jay kicks it and you hit the rim
31:03Well, we'll head to the fourth and final twelve more minutes to play here as the Lakers head into that quarter
31:08With a lead how big you ask?
31:10100 to seventy-four
31:12One hundred to seventy-four
31:14One hundred to seventy-four
31:17One hundred to seventy-four
31:19One hundred to seventy-four
31:22One hundred to seventy-four
31:24One hundred to seventy-four
31:25How big you ask? 100-74.
31:35It's being brought to you by Jack in the Box.
31:38Jack's bringing back his classic chicken supreme.
31:42Now in a meal starting at 549.
31:46Now welcome back to New York.
31:50Brooklyn to be exact.
31:52100-74.
31:533rd quarter scoring and to your point, Stu.
31:57That it hasn't been easy with the big lead for the Lakers this year.
32:00They got outscored in that third quarter.
32:0234-31.
32:03Yeah, and you give up 34 to a team that only had 40 in the first half.
32:09You know you've taken your foot off the gas to do.
32:12Brooklyn, in fact, has been held under 106 times, 60 years' day.
32:18Six times this calendar year.
32:20Under 100.
32:20They keep shooting the three ball like they did here in the third.
32:26They'll get to 100 tonight.
32:27By the way, there's the head coach of the Canadian national team.
32:31Jordy Fernandez took over from Nick Nurse.
32:34And that roll.
32:35Oh, look, it can't pass.
32:37That's to beat the clock in a no-win situation.
32:40Oh!
32:41He found Van Gogh!
32:43Touchdown, Lakers!
32:44Wow!
32:45If the defender hadn't cut his fingernails this morning, could have cut him to that one.
32:49That was some pass.
32:51Just out of the read to the DB.
32:55LeBron will love that as much as anything he did all night.
32:57Oh, I mean, absolutely.
32:58This just makes him happier than all the dunks or anything.
33:02Look at that.
33:03I mean, just a beautiful full court pass.
33:06It's his department.
33:08Braun's got seven.
33:09In fact, he leaves the Lakers.
33:13In the game the other night, Dodd-Hit's led in both points, rebounds, and assists.
33:18Something he's done numerous times this year.
33:21Leading all three of these big categories.
33:25Green.
33:26These are Beru with six to shoot with the first minute of the fourth quarter.
33:30That's in traffic.
33:31That's New York traffic right there.
33:33Yeah, I think Aiden was looking for the pass to be up toward the rim.
33:38So he was almost in his crouch, and he came straight to him, and he fumbled a bit.
33:44Here's Brooklyn.
33:44Their biggest wins this year.
33:46They beat Philly.
33:46They beat Minnesota.
33:48They beat Denver.
33:49They beat their three signature wins, if you will.
33:51And that one is thrown out of bounds.
33:53Just not in sync at all.
33:54Well, that's a good example of leaving your feet to pass.
33:58If you leave your feet to shoot, he left his feet to pass, and the guy he was passing to fled to see.
34:03He turned over at number 16 for them.
34:08They just have 11.
34:11LeBron!
34:12Number 360 or he's trying to.
34:16Nobody gets held up.
34:20Yeah, these fans out in fours.
34:22Can't find a seat tonight.
34:23Only visit of the year for L.A.
34:25LeBron will be going to the line again.
34:35Well, I shouldn't say again.
34:36He's only been there for two free throws.
34:39And LeBron on the year, a 74-percenter.
34:42Field goal percentage, by the way, for LeBron.
34:44And it's interesting.
34:45It gets better in every quarter progressive.
34:48First through fourth, he shoots his best from the field in the fourth quarter.
34:52All right, it feels different.

35:07Eight in a row at home.
35:09Coming up when we come home at 15 out of the next 18.
35:14Don't do it all.
35:14He goes out.
35:15I was just wondering when.
35:19The outside, De'Ron, goes up to try to get it.
35:22He's underneath.
35:23Big guy's got it.
35:25Out now for Williams.
35:27All of a sudden, Williams has found the angle he likes.
35:31From the perimeter.
35:32He's one of three Brooklyn players in double figures.
35:35And he has hit three threes now in the game.
35:38Because it's the other one.
35:39That was a brick off the ramp.
35:42But we've got a pass ahead.
35:44And the throwdown that time by Sharp.
35:47It was a brick to pass.
35:49How about that?
35:50Nice running of the floor there by Sharp.
35:53He's covered quite a distance there ahead of the trailer.
35:5726 fast break points tonight.
36:01It's a good play by Williams.
36:04But it goes to the Lakers.
36:05Reeves is still out nine to shoot.
36:08So no real rush.
36:09Reeves is going to get into his action right now, though.
36:12Oh, what a bad foul.
36:14Yeah.
36:15And not complaining is sharp.
36:18I mean, obviously, Reeves was looking for the whistle.
36:20You know, the scout got it.
36:22The scout report when Austin has always been, you better be aware of him going around you,
36:27especially if you're a big.
36:28And I think Claxton was aware of that.
36:31And then when he reared up the chute, he reached in and get him on the arm.
36:34I'm thinking about this right now for Morongo.
36:37Watch football everywhere you eat, stay and play.
36:40Morongo, good times.
36:43Now, Reeves is at 18 minutes.
36:46So if you want to give him 20, maybe a tiny bit over,
36:49it doesn't make sense for him to get out of the game here in a couple of minutes.
36:54The champ has started.
36:57Yeah.
36:57Oh, for Bron?
36:58Yeah.
36:59Bron in, shall I say?
37:03Every arena.
37:04Every arena.
37:12There he is, enjoying himself.
37:14Like his father, hooked on golf now.
37:17I mean, Hook, we've got to get you there, Stu.
37:19We will eventually.
37:20Underneath, reverse, Duncan's Williams.
37:23He's curious, just how much disinterest the Lakers have in this game now with the big lead.
37:34Williams, the SoCal product for Lancaster with the Notre Dame High School.
37:38Then wound up at Sierra Canyon.
37:41LeBron deep, and it's going to be free throws coming up for LeBron on the foul by Williams.
37:47And then look at the play by Zaire as he goes up.
37:52Nobody there.
37:53He just kept it.
37:54We've seen that before.
37:55LeBron did that a few games ago.
37:57He looked a little bit better on his.
37:59Then the foul is.
38:01His shot was released, but he did get the arm of LeBron.
38:05So, three free throws.
38:07Zaire, by the way, we might as well mention, is a college.
38:09Went to Stanford for a year.
38:11St. Vincent, St. Mary High School for the guy at the free throw line.
38:15How about this right now?
38:16From Jug in the Box.
38:19My fan favorite, Chicken Supreme, is back.
38:21Starting at 549.
38:23Welcome to Jug in the Box.
38:24Good chance we'll be giving away tacos tonight.
38:29108-81.
38:32Again, the postgame show will follow immediately from El Segundo.
38:37Wants to break down.
38:38They'll get you caught up on all the deals in the NBA, too.
38:42It's starting to heat up, and some big names are moving.
38:47LeBron missed his first two free throws in the game.
38:49Then now he's made his last five in a row.
38:54Here's the second half.
39:07LeBron now logs it over to Rui.
39:10Hatsumara, trying to go baseline.
39:11Stopped him right there.
39:13Now he's going to bump him.
39:14And he's a little tech voter.
39:16Just bodied him up.
39:19Rui, you're saying that he got bodied up.
39:21Yeah.
39:22Where's the drive?
39:24End of eight in a row on the road, and truly on the road, the end of 12 days away from home in six games.
39:36So Ross Wolfe couldn't get it.
39:39Out of bounds, it goes.
39:41Wolfe never really had an opportunity for that one.
39:43Danny Wolfe, who went to Big Blue, Michigan.
39:51Well, they're standing, which means Bronny might be taking off his sweats.
39:55Is he?
39:56Is he?
39:56Is he?
39:56Well, he doesn't look like it.
39:59Oh, that was just LeBron going out.
40:01That was LeBron.
40:01It had something to do with a James.
40:04I couldn't lose.
40:06I couldn't lose on that one.
40:07You're right about that.
40:08Yeah, they're very appreciative of Bron all these years.
40:12Oldest player in the league that doesn't play anywhere near it.
40:15I mean, anywhere near it.
40:17Vincent, three.
40:23Wolfe.
40:23Thomas, open corner.
40:291186.
40:31If he playing like this, he will get over 100.
40:37Lakers get very deep in.
40:40In amongst the trees right there.
40:43Yeah, but he knows what to do when he's in the forest.
40:45Yeah, but the branches came down and hit him.
40:47He's back to the free time where Austin likes to live.
40:5720 minutes.
41:00But LaRavia will be coming in for him, so it'll be right at 20 minutes, Stu, for Reeve playing tonight.
41:06Melissa LaRavia is coming in with somebody else.
41:08We'll play.
41:10Got a time.
41:11Yeah, timeout by the Nets.
41:12727 to go here in the fourth.
41:14Because the Lakers' lead is 112-86.
41:18Let's enter the calljacob.com Laker game night sweepstakes for a chance to win tickets to an upcoming Laker game.
41:25Now to enter, follow at call.jacob on Instagram.
41:29And like and comment on the calljacob.com sweepstakes announcement post.
41:34Go, Lakers!
41:36Austin.
41:37Well, welcome back, Austin.
41:38I mean, he's really, I think, played really well considering he hasn't played since Christmas.
41:43Yeah, he's a little, I think he's a little winded.
41:45He's been going to the sideline during these timeouts, as you can see, gasping a little bit for some air.
41:52But he's really played well in his return.
41:55He played about 20 minutes.
41:57And he's been to the free throw line where we've become accustomed to seeing him all the time.
42:02This will be his 10th free throw over the game.
42:04I was going to say he's done this better than any other Laker.
42:06Well, he was.
42:09He's 8 out of 10 now from the line.
42:12The rest of your team, 17 out of 27.
42:16That's it for Austin.
42:18He took an intentional foul to get himself out of the game.
42:23Now, Laker fans get ready to greet him on Thursday.
42:26Welcome him back.
42:28You see him on the floor.
42:33So, it doesn't look like any, any form of a setback to make more.
42:37And he throws his head back.
42:39That's a souvenir into the crowd.
42:42Still seven minutes to play at this one, though.
42:46That one is nearly taken away by Jake.
42:50Wolfe gives it right back.
42:51Two-man game.
42:53Porter Jr. is going to drive to the rim.
42:54He's almost like a guide shot as opposed to a real tap.
43:08Good job, I'm glad.
43:09Jackson has been with Brooklyn from the start.
43:12With a second round pick back in 2019.
43:16Bounce in a good dive that time by LaRavia.
43:19Then he just pick-checked the defender out of the way and laid it up and in.
43:24And the defender didn't have a good position.
43:25He got bodied up with it.
43:26Now, then knocked out of the position completely.
43:30Drew Tibby's going to be in when it's dead.
43:32Porter Jr. on the outside looking for more.
43:36Porter Jr. drives and scores.
43:39Well, when it's not happening on the outside, you go to the rim.
43:43And it certainly didn't happen for Porter Jr. tonight.
43:45He's showing that he can put the ball on the desk.
43:47Over eight for three.
43:51The 23 points make it 21 points for Porter Jr.
43:59LaRavia.
44:00And look at the clock.
44:01DeAndre.
44:02A little fallaway jump shot.
44:07Eight with seven points.
44:10Porter Jr.
44:11As we're past the halfway mark.
44:14This was not great in front of us.
44:16Next up for Brooklyn, by the way, they get Orlando, who's finally starting to write the ship.
44:21I don't know if anybody's really followed Orlando.
44:23They're playing really good basketball.
44:24They slip-sliding away pretty quickly, but they've turned things around again.
44:31Still in playoff mode.
44:32Lottery mode is exactly where Brooklyn is.
44:39This will be their 18th home loss.
44:47Well, Lakers taking advantage
44:49of the under 500 teams on this trip.
44:55Up ahead for Timmy.
44:56That's another good outlet.
44:57And the reverse layup is good.
45:02See, you can just tell that the Lakers, I mean, excuse me, the Nets are just going through the motions now.
45:08I mean, they've been going through the motions for a while in this game.
45:1217 turnovers.
45:14116-90.
45:17So, Lavia 3, this is where we want to see him get it going.
45:20And unfortunately, he had all the time in the world.
45:24Yeah, he's working.
45:26He's got a lot of that extra work that really doesn't show up at the box store.
45:30Porter Jr.
45:31Plans is offering that's good tip.
45:34That's good tip.
45:35Nice.
45:35Nice to the guest.
45:37Now you're going to hear the crowd.
45:38All right, here comes Ronnie.
45:39Yeah.
45:42Some of it's for Dolph Connect, right?
45:44No, no disrespect, but no.
45:47He's only the final five minutes to the game.
45:49What do you buy?
45:50No casino resort.
45:53Dolph will come in with Ronnie.
45:56We're going to the lap of Vanderbilt.
45:58He's running out of the spring now.
46:02Vanderbilt went all the way, tried to dunk it.
46:06And now the crowd will welcome LeBron James Jr. to the court.
46:11You know, Ronnie is going to be just one shy now of his total appearances last year.
46:27This is the 27th time we will see him this year.
46:3228 times in his rookie season.
46:36And Dolph comes in with him.
46:37And Dolph comes in with him.
46:37Well, obviously, you know who he thinks the GOAT is.
46:53That chant is in away arena, by the way.
47:03Well, that's as loud as anybody has been in this game.
47:07I agree.
47:09Tained away by Dolph.
47:10Step right to the corner.
47:11Rick Brownie.
47:12Dolph!
47:13The round brownie!
47:14There's it in!
47:17They're happy now, aren't they?
47:20They came to see father and son.
47:22That's going to count in an add one.
47:31Another turnover.
47:32Got Bronnie the layup.
47:35Dalton with the steal.
47:36And Andy assist.
47:37Is Bronnie there to catch the lob and lay it in gently?
47:42Yeah, I think the defender was in between.
47:44He and Dalton up there.
47:45I don't think he could have risen and thrown it down.
47:47No.
47:48That was just not going to be the play.
47:50So, Barney Dalton made a good play there.
47:52Last two games, James has 12 points.
47:59And he's...
48:01Now five out of his last seven.
48:04Look at 14 points.
48:05Oh, the move!
48:05James, it's good!
48:08Shooters touch.
48:10Standing ovation.
48:12They're doing more than standing.
48:13They're up there.
48:15They're off their feet.
48:16They're jumping up and down.
48:19That goes off.
48:20Now the chant starts again.
48:22Three and a half to play.
48:23Lakers up 121-95.
48:27Whoa!
48:28Yes.
48:31He really had time on that one.
48:33Yeah, they've come out of your dish.
48:35Now to hit nine and threes.
48:37Now he's got to arrowing for a minute.
48:39Clever's coming in in a second.
48:42Bronny controlling the action.
48:43Gives it up now to Drew.
48:45Timmy's spinning to the other knee.
48:47Timmy can't score.
48:49There's Williams.
48:50His high school teammate talking about Bronny's high school teammate.
48:53They are on the floor at the same time.
48:55And Wolf lays it up at any end.
48:56Time out, J.J.
48:59I don't think he was happy about the defense on that transition play.
49:04Bronny has the crowd buzzing.
49:07Got the shooter's touch on the little jumper.
49:09Look at that thing bounce around two times and finally fall down.
49:12The Lakers still on top.
49:17Sixers on Thursday.
49:18It'd be great to be home.
49:19Then Saturday and Monday's game, both on national TV only.
49:23The ABC against Golden State and Peacock against the defending champion, Thunder.
49:29Then the Spurs and Wembe in town.
49:31And the Mavs, what's an attractive schedule?
49:34We've got some interesting games coming up in the next five.
49:39Still have three minutes and seven seconds left in this one.
49:43And the Lakers have pretty much dominated from the very beginning.
49:48Again, get your tickets and come on out.
49:50Plenty of opportunities in February and the beginning of March.
49:55But the All-Star break is going to be on the 13th.
49:58Day before Valentine's Day.
50:00That's coming up quickly.
50:03And trade deadline is Thursday.
50:05Cleba in the game.
50:07That means everybody available for the Lakers has now played.
50:11Which is the way it should be in a 40-point game or so.
50:13Yep.
50:13Under three minutes to play.
50:17Bronny brings it in for Dolphins.
50:21And I can like to shoot a three.
50:23And he pulls out a little mid-range.
50:26Just short.
50:27That's the cradled by Brooklyn.
50:30They've got some of their starters still in the game.
50:31But they need reps.
50:32I'll tell you that.
50:33The starters were in there.
50:35Still a lot of young guys.
50:36They follow up and score.
50:39Sharp has been all over there.
50:41All over to go.
50:42He really has.
50:44Tonight.
50:44All over.
50:46Meaning 13 rebounds.
50:48For J-Ron.
50:52Timmy.
50:54Out of Gonzaga.
50:55All-time leading score.
50:56Now it's Friday.
50:57He made a nice move.
50:58But couldn't finish it.
51:01Sharp again.
51:01He's in everything.
51:02He's in all the action.
51:03He's there on Sharp.
51:06The final score will not indicate how.
51:09All this game really.
51:10His biggest lead was 30 times.
51:15Like Luka hadn't played much at all in this.
51:19Yeah.
51:20Doctors on the night.
51:21Played 29 minutes.
51:24Connect backhand left is good.
51:26Golf gets into the lane and scores.
51:30Again postgame coming up.
51:31My God you see is here to get all the interviews.
51:42Traore.
51:44Launched.
51:46Chased down by Timmy.
51:47Mother of these 39 points that the Lakers did enjoy with their largest lead of the season.
51:57Everything was humming about.
51:59James behind the back to a wide open.
52:02Drew Timmy.
52:03Can't pay it off though.
52:04Again Lakers will be 30 and 19.
52:10And they came in six in the last so they cannot drop down to seven.
52:16This is one of ten games.
52:19Obviously one of the earlier window games.
52:22Ten games tonight in the NBA.
52:23All right let's do it Stu.
52:28What do you think?
52:28Yeah I think you should.
52:29Okay.
52:30Lakers are going to win this one.
52:32And that means you're going to win two free tacos with any drink purchase.
52:36From George and the Bonds tomorrow.
52:38Just ask for the Lakers deal when you order.
52:40Now it's only LA area restaurants.
52:42Go Lakers.
52:44Go Jack.
52:45We will tell you everybody gets it.
52:52Get a bunch of fast break points tonight.
52:54The most is 31 for the Lakers.
52:5616.
52:59For Brooklyn.
53:00By the way Brooklyn at 27 second chance points.
53:03I know that was a point of contention.
53:05And a lot of it.
53:06Garbage time.
53:07How about this bounce.
53:08And the dive in the dump.
53:10And the second.
53:11By Connect.
53:16The Lakers have shot their final one for the night.
53:20Least the fans got what they paid their money for.
53:22Oh yeah.
53:23You seem to see DeBron and Luca.
53:26And Bronny.
53:27They got all of that and more tonight.
53:29Bronny with the steal.
53:32And he will not go all the way to the basket.
53:35Smart move.
53:37Class move.
53:38Game over.
53:40Final 125-109.
53:46And you're right.
53:47That score doesn't even indicate at all what it was like tonight.
53:50Yeah.
53:51This game was not nearly as close as this score would indicate.
53:58LeBron at 25-18 for LaRavia.
54:0324 for Doncic.
54:05So LeBron is the leading scorer tonight.
54:0815 off the bench for AR in 21 minutes.
54:12And he is with Michael.
54:15Thanks, Billy.
54:17Austin, I know how much you love to play basketball.
54:20So it's probably been a tough couple of weeks for you just getting back from the injury.
54:23How did you progress over time?
54:25How did you feel tonight?
54:26So good.
54:26It's good to be back out here.
54:28I've been pretty bored for a month now, so it's good to be back.
54:32Hot player.
54:33Jake says hi on the way out.
54:36What has it been like, though, for you?
54:39Just the level of frustration versus just kind of trying to stay controlled and knowing that you were going to be back soon enough?
54:44Just trying to do the right things every day.
54:46Even, you know, it's frustrating.
54:48You know, just trusting the process of, you know, what you're doing because, you know, one day you might feel good and the next you might not.
54:56I wish I was back a little sooner.
54:58But, you know, like I said, it's good to be back.
55:01It's just miserable when I'm not playing.
55:03I'm pretty bored.
55:04All right.
55:04You guys kind of put this one away in the first half.
55:06Had to run out the string in the second.
55:07What was working early in this one?
55:09I just thought we played good basketball.
55:11We were obviously defending at a, you know, high level.
55:13I think they had 40 points in the first half.
55:15If we could continue to do that on a nightly basis, our offense is going to give us opportunity to win a lot of games.
55:21All right.
55:21So it's been a long road trip.
55:23Finally get to fly home tonight.
55:24Going to land, really, and then a bunch of home games in a row.
55:28What can that do for you guys as you try to build some momentum into the All-Star break?
55:31It'll be great.
55:32It'll be good to give back and sleep in our own beds, play in front of our own crowd.
55:37What, we got four and two on this trip?
55:40Yes, if you don't cut the first two, so five and three.
55:42Yeah.
55:43You know, that's a good trip.
55:44You know, we had, you know, some really good wins.
55:47We got a tough loss, a couple losses, but, you know, it's all learning experiences.
55:51We're getting back healthy, and like I said, it'll be good to play in front of our crowd and get back home.
55:57Did you miss your friend Luca just a little bit?
55:59No, not at all.
56:00All right, Billy, back to you.
56:02That was a key question right there, Mike.
56:04Thank you.
56:04I want to correct him a bit, though.
56:05He said it'd be good to play in front of his home, his crowd.
56:09Right.
56:10This crowd tonight, it was like they were home.
56:12That's a good point.
56:13That's a good point.
56:14But L.A., Southern California.
56:16Yeah, welcome him back.
56:18Welcome the team back.
56:19We've been gone forever.
56:21125-109.
56:23Make sure to catch our next Telecast Thursday, 7, when the Lakers take on the Sixers.
56:28Time now to check in with the studio for Access Sportsnet Lakers, brought to you by your Toyota dealers.
56:35We will see you back home.
