00:00Народный Нью-Йорк Ницкс
00:02А сезон-хай 7-гаме win streak
00:04Entering tonight's showdown with
00:06Denver at Madison Square Garden
00:08Jalen Brunson set to make his
00:102nd straight All-Star start
00:12He's currently 10th in the NBA
00:14in scoring
00:153-time MVP Nikola Jokic is back
00:18He plays his 4th game since
00:20returning from a month-long
00:22absence due to a knee injury
00:24This is NBA Courtside presented
00:26by Michelob Ultra
00:28The Knicks at 32-18
00:30Currently 2nd in the East
00:32Denver 33-18
00:34And in 3rd place in the West
00:36And hi everybody Dave Pasch
00:38Alongside Jay Billis and Katie George
00:40In early January it was a struggle
00:42for the Knicks
00:43They lost 4 in a row
00:44Had a couple of bad home defeats
00:45But since Jay they've won 7 in a row
00:48And their average margin of victory
00:49is 25 points per game
00:51They're doing it with defense
00:53during this stretch
00:53They are and over that 11 game stretch
00:55in which the Knicks went 2-9
00:57They were giving up 117 points per game
01:00to their opponents
01:01Almost 50% from the field
01:04But in the last 7 games
01:06after some practice time
01:07and some schematic changes defensively
01:09and a whole lot of want to
01:10The Knicks are only giving up 93 points a game
01:13Just over 41% for the field
01:15for their opponents
01:16They have really tightened up defensively
01:18And that's led them to that 7-game winning streak
01:21Longest since they won 9 in a row
01:23back in December of 2024
01:24On the other side you've got a Denver team
01:26that's been banged up all year
01:28Jokic is back as we mentioned
01:30Christian Brown is back
01:31Still no Aaron Gordon
01:32They've got two guys in particular
01:33Jay that have been consistent all year
01:35A big reason why the Nuggets are where they are in the standings
01:37And you start with Jamal Murray
01:39First time All-Star
01:40He's averaging over 25 points per game
01:42over 7.5 assists
01:44One of only 4 NBA players to reach both those levels
01:47He has been consistent at a high level
01:49with career highs in field goal percentage
01:51and 3 point percentage
01:53And the fourth year man out of UCLA
01:55Peyton Watson is having a breakout year
01:57He's averaging over 15 a game
01:59And in that 16-game stretch when Jokic was out
02:01He averaged 22
02:03And he's shooting a career-high 43% from 3
02:06Certainly a candidate for most improved player of the year
02:10Denver has the most road wins in the NBA
02:12They go for number 20 tonight
02:14and their first at Madison Square Garden since 2021
02:18Courtside continues after this
02:20NBA Courtside is presented by
02:26Michelin Ultra Zero
02:27Zero alcohol
02:29Just 29 calories
02:30Because the Knicks
02:37They have a little bit of a new defensive scheme here
02:39Coach, what is that?
02:40Ice, ice, baby
02:41Ice on the side, pick and roll
02:43You can see this example right here against Philadelphia
02:46You can see Mitchell Robinson calling out the ice
02:49Josh Hart into the ball
02:50Not allowing the ball to get to the middle
02:52Keep it on the sideline
02:54The next most important person
02:56OG at the nail
02:57He knows that Joel Embiid loves to pop
02:59Now he's going to read the flight of the ball
03:01Skip pass is made to the weak side
03:04And you can see you can do both
03:05That's called multiple effort by OG
03:07Nail into the closeout
03:09Now we're going to walk us through the same thing here
03:11Let's do it
03:12We've got Kenny the Jet
03:13Yes sir
03:14Don't pull
03:14Defenders in the game
03:16Malika
03:17On ball defender
03:18Perk's my big
03:18And then Brian Windhorst is setting the screen
03:20So to start off this ice
03:22It's really important
03:23As Wendy comes up to set the screen
03:25Ice it
03:26Ice it
03:27Ice it
03:27He's calling it out
03:29Early, loud, continuous
03:30Malika's fighting to square the ball up
03:33And then me as a nail defender
03:34Like you saw with OG
03:35As this ball is being thrown to Wendy
03:38I'm providing a stunt
03:40As Perk gets back to close out
03:42And to guard his man one-on-one
03:44And also coach
03:45In that ice situation
03:46Why it's so good for guys like
03:47Mitchell Robinson and Cat
03:49Because it allows the big
03:50To stay down low
03:52Right
03:52Because majority of the time
03:54You have somebody in the corner
03:55Yeah
03:55So now you don't have to help
03:57You don't have to stay as long
03:59You know what you would do to counter that
04:01If I was guarding
04:02The league is guarding me
04:03I'd be like
04:04Clear the corner through
04:05And as he goes
04:06I'd be like
04:07Clear
04:07I would sprint into the corner
04:09Now I would have Perk
04:10In a position
04:11That I could make this pass
04:13And you can't start
04:14So if you're the ball handler
04:15Clear the corner
04:17And take out
04:18Because Cat
04:19Loves everything
04:20Oh
04:20It was this close
04:21No, no, no
04:22We'll get to tip off
04:23An MS tonight
04:24I'm boxing well Perk
04:24I hate the Euro
04:25I hate the Euro
04:25Expectations arrive
04:30With each new season
04:31In the space between
04:33What should be
04:33And what is
04:34There's opportunity
04:35They demand response
04:40And expectations will be challenged
04:48Rhythm is rediscovered
04:51Expectations are only promise
04:55Outcomes are proof
04:58Welcome to NBA Wednesday
05:07Presented by State Farm
05:09It's the New York Knicks
05:11And the Denver Nuggets
05:12From Madison Square Garden
05:14The Knicks
05:1520-6 at home
05:17A winner in Washington
05:18Last night
05:19While Denver
05:20Lost at Detroit
05:21Yet the Nuggets
05:22Still with one of the best
05:23Road records in the league
05:2519-8
05:26Our starting lineups
05:28Are brought to you
05:28By Icy Hot
05:2921st different starting lineup
05:32For Denver
05:33Now that Christian Brown
05:34Is back
05:34And for New York
05:36With Jordan Clarkson
05:38Getting the start
05:38For the injured
05:39Josh Hart
05:40It's the 17th starting five
05:42That's different
05:43For the Knicks this year
05:44Hart is day to day
05:46With an ankle injury
05:46Suffered last night
05:48So Clarkson
05:49Will get his first start
05:50Of the season
05:51The first of two games
05:57Tonight
05:57With the Thunder
06:00Taking on San Antonio
06:02Up next
06:03Denver one and two
06:12Since Jokic returned
06:14From missing 16 games
06:15Due to a left knee injury
06:17They won their first game
06:18Against the Clippers
06:19Then lost to the Thunder
06:20And Pistons
06:21And the Knicks
06:22Have won seven straight games
06:24Including victories
06:25Over the Lakers
06:26Sixers and Raptors
06:27All playoff teams
06:28Right now
06:46Denver has not won here
06:48Since 2021
06:49Nikola Jokic
06:51Has a record of six and four
06:52At Madison Square Garden
06:55Only averaging five assists
06:56And 23 points
06:58Which is substandard for him
06:59In games played here in New York
07:01Jamal Murray
07:03First time All-Star
07:04Now in his ninth season
07:06That hits the foot of Clarkson
07:08It's going to stay with Denver
07:09Nikola Jokic
07:11Being guarded by Carl Anthony Towns
07:13To start the game
07:14And Carl Anthony Towns
07:15In his games against Jokic
07:18Has done a pretty darn good job
07:20Defensively
07:20Both he and Mitchell Robinson
07:23Who will come off the bench
07:24An offensive foul called on Denver
07:26On Christian Brown
07:27Brown playing his second game back
07:32He's only played in 15 games this year
07:34Just trying to get back into the flow
07:36He's only shooting 21% from three
07:39Shot just under 40% last year
07:41And was one of the best transition scorers
07:43In the league
07:44Brunson turns and fires
07:47And knocks down a three ball
07:48Brunson just came right off that screen
07:51Denver switched it
07:52And when he was at Villanova
07:55Jay Wright had a thing
07:56He didn't want to be ready to shoot
07:57It's catch it to shoot
07:58And you're never going to be more open
08:00Than when you first catch the ball
08:01You don't have to get ready
08:02If you catch it to shoot it
08:03Then you can make a decision
08:04Based on how you're guarded
08:06It's already made 132
08:08Three-pointers this season
08:12Made just 152 last year
08:14So almost eclipsing that already
08:16Had to throw it off Spencer Jones
08:20To keep possession 14 on the shot clock
08:22What the Knicks really want to do
08:24They want to play with pace
08:25Both in the full court and the half court
08:27Space the floor
08:29But they want to get a piece of the paint
08:30They want to touch the paint
08:32On every possession
08:33And then spray it out
08:35Shot clock down to four
08:38Clarkson going baseline
08:39Lost it
08:40Clarkson gathers
08:42Saw the clock
08:42So he puts it up
08:43And scores
08:44As the timer expires
08:46But really good awareness
08:47By Jordan Clarkson
08:48On where the clock was
08:50When Carl Anthony Towns
08:51Knocked that ball away
08:52He had 12 points
08:54And the win in Washington
08:55Last night
08:55One of his better games
08:56In a while
08:57Murray downhill
08:58Faked the pass
08:59And then missed the shot
09:00Yoke is so tough
09:02Off that elbow
09:03Such a great pass
09:05Brunson
09:06Brunson way off the mark
09:06On the pull up three
09:07Here's Jokic
09:13Going to make his sixth start
09:15Eighth visit to the All-Star game
09:17A week from Saturday
09:18Spencer Jones didn't make that shot
09:21But Jokic operating in that short roll
09:24He is one of the best playmakers
09:26In the league
09:27If not the best
09:28In that situation
09:29Towns switches home
09:30A three-pointer
09:31It's an eight-nothing start
09:32For the Knicks
09:33Carl Anthony Towns
09:36Has not had his best shooting year
09:37By any stretch
09:38He's only shooting 46%
09:40From the field
09:41And 36% from three
09:43Those are career lows
09:45But he has been rebounding
09:46His tail off all year
09:47In fact he leads to the league
09:49In rebounding
09:49And that's only because
09:50Nicole Jokic
09:51Doesn't qualify right now
09:52Otherwise Jokic
09:53Who just got to rebound
09:54And stick back
09:55Would lead the NBA
09:56In both rebounding
09:57An assist
09:58And an OB's three is good
09:59A hot start for New York
10:01They've already made three
10:02Three-pointers
10:03And even after a made bucket
10:05Not the best transition defense
10:07That David Adelman wants to see
10:08Out of Denver
10:09That's the kind of pace
10:13That New York wants to play with
10:14Get it down court quickly
10:16On the switch
10:17Towns on Jamal Murray
10:19With his shot clock down to seven
10:20Murray off the bounce
10:23Always able to get where he wants
10:25On the floor
10:25With the dribble
10:26He is just having
10:27A spectacular year
10:29Average of 25 points
10:31Seven and a half assists
10:32In their last game
10:34Against Detroit
10:34He had 32 points
10:36Eight assists
10:36Not a single turnover
10:37Knicks turned it over
10:39Jokic down court to Jones
10:42Peyton Watson
10:43Off the fake
10:45Tries a three
10:45Not there
10:46As you mentioned earlier
10:48He's had a great year
10:50Shooting the ball
10:5043% from three
10:52Talked to David Adelman
10:54Before the game
10:56And asked him
10:56Have you been surprised
10:57By this performance
11:00This year by Peyton Watson
11:01You know when Peyton Watson
11:02Came out of UCLA
11:03He played one year
11:04For the Bruins
11:05Averaged three points a game
11:06And was taken 30th overall
11:09In that draft
11:10And for his career
11:12He's averaging around
11:12Eight points a game
11:13But this year
11:14He's been absolutely spectacular
11:16And Adelman said
11:16It's been the shooting
11:17That's really surprised him
11:18He's turned into
11:19An outstanding shooter
11:20We have a coach's challenge
11:24Three minutes and 14 seconds
11:26Into the game
11:26The NBA on ESPN
11:31Is presented all season long
11:33By State Farm
11:34Like a good neighbor
11:35State Farm is there
11:37And in part by Burger King
11:39You rule
11:40And Serafee
11:41Up your game with the number one
11:43Dermatologist recommended
11:45Skin care brand
11:46Successful challenge
11:48By David Adelman
11:49You see the legal poke away
11:51By Spencer Jones
11:52So no foul on Jones
11:53It's Denver ball
11:54Trailing 11 to 4
11:56Nuggets are 2 for 8
11:58To start the game
11:59The Knicks are 4 or 5
12:00From the floor
12:01Jokic guarded by the smaller Brunson
12:05With 5 in the shot clock
12:06Jokic spinning
12:07Trying to create some airspace
12:09Comes up short with a shot
12:10Boy the crowd loves it
12:12The defense by Brunson
12:13Well that's as good as you can do
12:15With that sort of mismatch
12:16And Brunson is not afraid
12:17To get physically
12:18Forced him into the tough shot
12:20That's one that Jokic makes
12:21Most often
12:22Towns almost turns it over
12:24He'll try to step back 3
12:27Can't hit it
12:29And Watson soars for the rebound
12:31Jokic in the high post
12:36With Towns defending
12:37Two points
12:40Three rebounds for Jokic
12:41And scores there
12:43As he's met by a secondary defender
12:45There's just no way to speed up
12:47Nikola Jokic
12:47He just has so much game
12:50And he plays
12:51Talk about playing at your own pace
12:5329 points per game
12:57Averaging a triple-double
12:58For the second straight year
13:00Game just the third player ever
13:02To do it
13:02In the first center
13:03In 2025
13:05Brunson from mid-range
13:06And Jalen Brunson
13:08With another basket
13:09He's got 5 points
13:10That's just vintage Brunson
13:12Coming off the ball screen action
13:13Getting a defender on his hip
13:15And stopping in the lane
13:16And playing off two feet
13:17Hard screen set by Jokic
13:22Murray's three is there
13:24Jokic is good at so many things
13:28But one thing
13:29He doesn't get credit
13:29He's a great screener
13:31I mean he screens you
13:32You stay screened
13:33And Murray now 150 made threes on the year
13:37He's got a shot at 50-45-90
13:41He's right under 50% from the floor
13:4345% from three
13:45And 88% from the line
13:46Corner three
13:47Answer by Jordan Clarkson
13:49Four three-pointers for New York
13:52Jokic is down
13:53He's still doubled over
13:59Again missed 16 games
14:01With the left knee injury
14:03David Adelman going to call a timeout
14:05And Jokic
14:09Moving gingerly
14:12Will be met by the training staff
14:14Scary moment here
14:17Has looked like he stepped on the back
14:20Of the leg of Ananobi
14:21Welcome back to New York
14:25As tonight marks the fourth game
14:26Nikola Jokic has played
14:27Since returning from his knee injury
14:29He is on a minute restriction
14:31In the upper 20s
14:32But David Adelman said
14:33Last night they overdid it in Detroit
14:35The Nuggets came back late
14:37In the fourth quarter
14:37Had a chance to win the game
14:39With just two and a half minutes left
14:41He said I'm not taking
14:42Nikola Jokic out of the game
14:44He said if it's close here tonight
14:45He will do the same
14:46But he did say guys
14:47He has to be more careful
14:49Managing his minutes
14:50As we've already seen Jokic go down
14:51He did say in the huddle
14:53I'm playing
14:54So take it from the three-time MVP
14:55Yep and right back out there
14:57Played 33 minutes
14:58As you said last night
14:59Which is more than
15:01He was expected to
15:02We'll see how much he plays tonight
15:04Murray with a three
15:05And now a blow by
15:06And gets a layup
15:07So Jamal Murray off to a great start
15:09He's got ten of the fourteen for Denver
15:11Well the first possession
15:13After the timeout
15:14Just came off a little zoom action
15:16And knocked down the shot
15:18And that stop and go move
15:19When he caught it
15:20This tremendous quickness to the basket
15:23One of the most impressive things
15:25Dave this year
15:26He's averaging seven and a half assists
15:28But he's got a three to one
15:29Assist turnover ratio
15:31He takes care of the ball
15:34And what Kevin McCuller
15:39Is going to check into the game
15:40For the Knicks
15:41Second year player out of Kansas
15:44McCullers only played in twelve games
15:49And a total of 87 minutes this season
15:52But getting some action here
15:54With no Josh Hart tonight
15:56And the Knicks on a back-to-back
15:57Andrew Schammett
16:00Mitchell Robinson
16:00Check in for the Knicks as well
16:02Schammett
16:03And red hot
16:04During this seven game win streak
16:05Misfire there though
16:06Getting fifty percent for three
16:10During the seven game win streak
16:11He said before that
16:13When he hit ten of his last sixteen
16:15Averaging eighteen over his last two
16:17Murray downhill
16:19Clear path to the bucket
16:20He's got twelve
16:21He has played at an all-NBA level
16:26To start this season
16:27And an OB too strong
16:29Rebound Jokic
16:30His fourth board
16:31Denver looking to take the lead
16:33For the first time
16:34Murray's got the hot hand
16:39Working on the big
16:42Robinson
16:42Shot clock inside of ten
16:44Hesitation
16:46Now drive
16:48High scoop off the window
16:49Goes down
16:50And a timeout by New York
16:52Jamal Murray with fourteen
16:54Here in the first quarter
16:55What a beautiful finger roll
16:58You thought he might take Robinson
16:59With a step-back three
17:00But just blew by him
17:02One-handed
17:03Over Landry Schammett

17:24Tomorrow afternoon
17:25Already a handful of interesting moves
17:27Made and probably more to come
17:29And some surprises
17:31James Harden going from the Clippers
17:36To Cleveland
17:37McCuller with the lob
17:39Mitchell Robinson
17:40There with the slam
17:40And ties it at eighteen
17:43McCuller started his career
17:45At Texas Tech
17:46Before transferring to Kansas
17:48That was a good middle drive
17:50Very triple team
17:55Finds the open shooter
17:58Watson
17:58Can't knock down the three
18:00Next fortunate there
18:03He's come off a corner shooter
18:04Watson has been a good corner shooter
18:07All season long
18:08Catch and shoot
18:09Schammett
18:10Got it
18:10Five three-pointers
18:12For the Knicks
18:12In eight minutes
18:13That was a really quick
18:16Ball reversal
18:17By the Knicks
18:18It just beat the shift
18:20Of Denver
18:21For that open shot
18:22To Landry Schammett
18:23Schammett's had a great year
18:25Career high
18:27Ten points per game
18:28Murray fouled
18:29Count the basket
18:3016 points
18:32For Jamal Murray
18:33And a chance at 17
18:35Jamal Murray has had
18:38A fantastic career
18:39He's a first time
18:40All-Star this year
18:41Kind of surprising
18:42When you think of a guy
18:43That's at five
18:4450-point games
18:45Including 50-point games
18:47In the playoffs
18:47This is the first time
18:48He's made the All-Star team
18:49He's made the All-Star team
18:49But he's in complete control
18:52Of what he's doing
18:52Out on the floor
18:53Just impressive to watch
18:55Foul was on Brunson
18:57His first
18:57He's averaging about
18:59Five points per game
19:00More than he did last year
19:01He's 12th in the league
19:02And scoring seventh in assists
19:04And career high shooting numbers
19:06For Jamal Murray
19:07Who scored the last
19:0815 Denver points
19:10Three and a half to go
19:13In the first
19:13Knicks by one
19:14Check that game
19:17Tied at 21
19:18Because of the free throw
19:20Miss inside
19:21Robinson gets it back
19:22And scores over
19:23Valanchunas
19:24Mitchell Robinson
19:25One of the best
19:26Offensive rebounders
19:27If not the best
19:28In the league
19:28He only plays
19:2920 minutes a game
19:30But he gets just under
19:31Five offensive rebounds
19:32A game
19:33Murray
19:36Fouled again
19:38And will go to the line
19:39He's upset
19:40He missed that shot
19:41But
19:41He'll get two free throws
19:44Second team foul
19:47None yet on Denver
19:48It's on Bridges
19:51But more on Jamal Murray
19:54Let's check in with Katie
19:55Yeah Dave J
19:56You know Jamal Murray
19:57Said more than anything
19:58He's just really happy
19:59For his dad Roger
20:00That he finally made
20:01All-Star
20:01Apparently Roger
20:02Really wanted him to make it
20:03He was telling Jamal
20:04All-Summer
20:05How much he wanted him
20:06To become an All-Star
20:07So he said
20:08It's a nice honor
20:10But he said
20:10I want to be All-NBA
20:12He said
20:12That to me is bigger
20:13That's something you have to do
20:14All-year
20:14You have to play
20:15Extremely hard
20:16You have to play
20:17Into the playoffs
20:18He said
20:18I want that recognition
20:19So I'm just going to stay hungry
20:21Yes
20:21I'm accepting the All-Star
20:22Very grateful
20:23He said
20:24But it's on to the next
20:25Well you mentioned
20:26His dad Katie
20:27And he was a big part
20:28Of his training
20:28Growing up in Canada
20:30And he's going to be part
20:32Of the world roster
20:33At the All-Star game
20:34In L.A.
20:36And All-NBA
20:37Is certainly a possibility
20:39This year
20:39For Jamal Murray
20:41With the season
20:41He's had
20:42One out of two
20:45At the line
20:46So he's got
20:4618 points
20:47Denver down
20:48One
20:48With three minutes
20:49To go
20:49Nice pass
20:58By Diawara
20:59Down low
21:00Good defense
21:00By Jones
21:02Diawara
21:03Hurt his ankle
21:04Last night
21:05Just like Josh Hart
21:06But Diawara
21:06Is available
21:07For the Knicks
21:08Bruce Brown
21:13Hits Hardaway
21:14In the corner
21:15No good
21:15On the triple try
21:16And Robinson
21:18Tracks down
21:18The loose ball
21:19But Tim Hardaway
21:20Jr.
21:20Doesn't miss many
21:21Of those
21:21One of the best
21:22Three-point shooters
21:23In the league
21:23Diawara
21:30From deep
21:31That's good
21:32Everything has fallen
21:33From deep
21:34For the Knicks
21:34There's six of ten
21:36From three
21:36And one of the reasons
21:37They're shooting the ball
21:38Well is they're passing
21:40The ball is not sticking
21:41It is moving
21:42They have seven assists
21:44On ten baskets
21:45To your point
21:46Shamit
21:48Right
21:48With Murray
21:50Keeps the pivot foot down
21:51And Robinson
21:53Knocks it away
21:53From Valanchunas
21:54Shot clock at three
21:55As Valanchunas
21:56Saved it
21:57And then Hardaway
21:58Is fouled
21:59By Shamit
22:00With .8
22:01On the clock
22:01First in the last
22:03Two minutes
22:03On the Knicks
22:04First personal
22:13On Shamit
22:14So side out of bounds
22:15For Denver
22:15You mentioned Hardaway
22:18And
22:18What he's meant
22:20In his first year
22:21In Denver
22:21He's shooting
22:22A career high
22:22From three
22:23Forty percent
22:24Denver's the best
22:24Three-point shooting
22:25Team in the league
22:26Their bench
22:27Much better than last year
22:28When they took
22:29Oklahoma City
22:29To seven games
22:30In the conference
22:31Semi-finals
22:32Bruce Brown is back
22:34As Ananobi
22:35Fouls Murray
22:36To send him to the line
22:37Second in the last
22:38Two minutes
22:38Bruce Brown
22:39A part of the NBA
22:40Championship
22:41Nugget team
22:42From three years ago
22:43Brings a lot of
22:44Toughness and defense
22:45To this Denver squad
22:47And Ananobi
22:48Just gave a little forearm
22:50Just because he's off
22:54Foul
22:54And stepping out
22:55They called a foul
22:56Bill Murray
22:59Eighteen points
23:00Two of three
23:01At the line
23:01So far
23:02He's the only player
23:04To shoot free throws
23:05In his first quarter
23:06On either team
23:06Scored seventeen
23:11In a row
23:12For Denver
23:12We talked about him
23:14Being an all-star
23:14So with him and Jokic
23:15Both all-stars
23:17It's the first time
23:17Denver's had more than
23:19One in a single year
23:20Since 2010
23:21Anthony and Billups
23:24Both that year
23:25Were all-stars
23:25Jokic will be playing
23:27In his eighth
23:28All-star game
23:29If and when
23:30Denver gets fully healthy
23:31That's probably a month
23:32Out with Aaron Gordon
23:34This is a dangerous
23:36Team now
23:37But it'll be a really
23:38Dangerous team
23:38Healthy
23:39The question is
23:40Just getting everybody
23:41Back
23:41And in a flow
23:43Where roles are
23:43Going to change
23:44With Nikola Jokic
23:45Back in
23:46That means
23:46You know
23:47Peyton Watson
23:47His role changes
23:49A bit
23:49How's everybody
23:50Going to adjust
23:50When the entire
23:52Roster is healthy
23:53They do expect
23:54To get Cam Johnson
23:55Back before the
23:56All-star game
23:57He's missing
23:57His eighteenth
23:58Game in a row
23:59Due to a knee injury
24:00As the ball
24:00Gets caught
24:01Between the backboard
24:02And rim
24:03It'll be a jump ball
24:04Johnson on the road
24:06Trip
24:07You see him there
24:07And you mentioned
24:09Aaron Gordon
24:10Still going to be
24:10A while for Gordon
24:11Who's had all kinds
24:13Of hamstring issues
24:14This year
24:15Cam Johnson
24:18You got another guy
24:19Who's a 43%
24:22Three-point shooter
24:23Could spread the floor
24:24And give even more room
24:26To Nikola Jokic
24:27Brunson looking
24:31To take Murray
24:32To the basket
24:33Now the step back
24:34From straight on
24:35Hits the back rim
24:36Cleared by
24:37Valanchunas
24:38Here's Jamal Murray
24:41A 20-point first quarter
24:43One minute to go
24:44The steal by Brunson
24:46Taking it away
24:47From Murray
24:48Valanchunas challenges
24:49And that was a great play
24:51Because it forces a bad pass
24:52And then a bad catch
24:55By Hardaway
24:56The pass was off the mark
24:57But Hardaway
24:58Could not handle it
25:00So turnover by Denver
25:02Hardaway was set up
25:03For that corner three
25:04And the pass was thrown
25:06But that was a back
25:06Shoulder throw
25:08When you didn't need
25:09To throw the back shoulder throw
25:10Shaman again
25:19Quick release
25:20As soon as he caught the ball
25:21Short that time
25:23Probably a time
25:26For a two for one here
25:27Hardaway pull up three
25:28He's fouled
25:29And he'll shoot three
25:30And they're going to look at this
25:35To see if it should be
25:35A flagrant foul
25:36It's on Mitchell Robinson
25:38Did he land in Hardaway's
25:42Shooting space
25:43Imagine they're going to
25:46Also review for a possible
25:47Records closeout
25:48First foul on Robinson
25:53Both Robinson and Ananobi
25:56Were there
25:57It was clearly a foul
26:01But did he get his feet
26:02Underneath Tim Hardaway Jr.
26:08Did land on the left foot
26:10Of Robinson
26:12With Hardaway's right foot
26:14Looked like Ananobi's foot
26:15Kind of
26:16Hit Robinson's foot first
26:20What a foot fighting on this
26:22That doesn't look reckless to me
26:29But
26:29He did step on his foot
26:32Is that enough
26:33Denver four or five
26:38At the line so far
26:39All of those were by
26:40Jamal Murray
26:41The Knicks have not taken
26:42A free throw here in the quarter
26:43Hardaway on his fifth team
26:50Former Knick
26:51Played here in 2018-19
26:53Been a slump right now
26:58Just
26:58One for his last 14
27:01From the floor
27:01After review
27:05The initial contact
27:06His foot to the upper part
27:08Of the leg
27:08He does not land directly
27:09On the foot
27:10Robinson does not go
27:11A far distance
27:12Therefore it is a common foul
27:13And not a reckless closeout
27:14Hardaway will shoot
27:15Three free throws
27:16Great explanation
27:17By Tyler Ford
27:18That was well done
27:19Got a future
27:20As a rules analyst
27:21On TV
27:22Whenever he's done
27:24Officiates
27:24Well generally
27:25NBA officials
27:26Do a better job
27:27At the microphone
27:28Than college officials
27:29College officials
27:30Look like they're doing
27:31A hostage video
27:32They need to have
27:33A little more fun
27:34So three free throws
27:37Here for Tim Hardaway
27:39Junior
27:3989% on the year
27:42At the line
27:42A career high
27:43A chance to give Denver
27:51The lead back here
27:52On this one trip
27:53At the strike
27:5342.6 seconds remaining
27:56In the opening quarter
27:57Many aspects of the league
28:01Are built by black history
28:02Shaped by black players
28:03Coaches employees and fans
28:05This black history month
28:06And beyond
28:07The NBA celebrates the
28:08Excellence that moves the
28:09Game forward
28:10They pass Jay Billis
28:14Katie George here
28:16In New York
28:16At Madison Square Garden
28:18First of two games
28:19On ESPN the night
28:20With the Thunder and Spurs
28:21Playing later
28:22For the fifth time
28:23San Antonio
28:24Leading the series
28:25Three games to one
28:26And Hardaway
28:30Gets them all
28:31And Denver
28:31Takes a one point lead
28:32New York has had a few
28:36Possessions
28:37Where they shot up
28:38One pass
28:38Towns
28:43Bodying
28:44Up against Jones
28:45Who knocks him to the court
28:46And Towns took a shot
28:47To the face
28:48First on Jones
28:53Towns
29:00And some pain
29:03Must have bumped heads
29:09There it is
29:20You're right
29:21Face to face
29:22There was some blood on the
29:31Side of the head of Jones
29:32So they have a towel
29:34Applied over on the Denver
29:36Sideline to him
29:37And now Towns
29:38Getting looked at
29:39By the Knicks
29:40Training staff
29:41He's got some blood
29:41Near his right eye
29:42Need to have a cut man
29:44It will be free throws
29:51For Towns
29:51And you see blood
29:52All over the
29:53It's a pretty good one
29:54Blood all over the jersey
29:55There
29:55Wow
29:57Those cuts right under
29:59Around the eye
30:00Tend to bleed
30:02Seems like they bleed
30:03A little bit more
30:04And that one clearly
30:04Is
30:05Opened up
30:07Again he has to shoot the free
30:10throws in order to stay in the
30:11game so
30:12All over the Knicks
30:32Shooting fifty three percent from
30:33the floor fifty from three
30:34They've made six threes but
30:36Trail in the game because
30:37Jamal Murray has been
30:38Phenomenal he's got twenty
30:39Points
30:40Seven of nine from the floor the
30:41Rest of the team
30:42Two of nine from the floor four
30:43Points
30:44Jamal Murray trying to stay warm
30:45He has been hot
30:47He's really been hot all season
30:48Long
30:49Long
30:56That's Nikola Jokic got a wrap on his
30:57Left foot after he landed on the
30:58Back of
30:59OGN and OB's foot but returned
31:00Immediately they're still working on
31:01Towns Eye
31:02Jamal Murray by the way had 18
31:03straight points
31:04That's the longest
31:05J.R. Smith did that back in 2009
31:07Longest by a nugget
31:08And so not
31:10Had to get some of the blood off the
31:37Floor as well
31:38Ф localized нидеральный и других
31:40ударов there was dripping from
31:42Annuals walking over to the next
31:43sideline.
31:45He got the bandaid on their
31:48song.
31:49Ovation from the crowd and now
31:51a shoot the free throw.
31:56Not quite with.
31:57Willis Reed but pretty cool.
31:58Coming back out.
32:02Spencer Jones back on the floor
32:05His was on the left side of his
32:07head.
32:08And if necessary for him.
32:18Four points for Carl Anthony
32:20Towns.
32:21He headed to the All-Star Game
32:22as well.
32:23Also a part of the world team.
32:26Born in the Dominican Republic.

33:08Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
33:38Got his own miss, misses again, and now plenty of time for the Knicks.
33:43Shannon, short of a three, rebound Jokic, ahead to Brown with time, gets it away, and it's gone!
33:51Bruce Brown banks it in at the buzzer!
33:54And Denver takes a 30-28 lead after one.
33:59What a heads-up play by Jokic to start it.
34:02A little surprised that Spencer Jones took that rebound bucket and tried to put it up,
34:08but still it works out for Denver.
34:10Great play by Bruce Brown after that outlet pass from Nikola Jokic.
34:15Back to NBA Wednesday, presented by State Farm.
34:27We're on the sidelines with Peyton Watson.
34:29Peyton, Jamal has 20 points already.
34:31What's it like when he's in this kind of mode?
34:33He's in the zone, and when he's in the zone like that, it's hard to stop him.
34:36We've got to keep feeding him and finding ways to get him open.
34:39New York already has six threes there in that first quarter.
34:42What can you guys do to disrupt their three-point shooting?
34:45A lot of them have come in transition.
34:47We've just got to be better about getting back with more urgency
34:49and do what we can to get them off the line.
34:52Thanks, Peyton.
34:52Thank you.
34:53Dave?
34:54All right, Katie.
34:55Well, that one came in a half-court set, and it's the 7-3 now for New York.
35:00Well, when New York has moved the ball and then got the piece of the paint,
35:04when they drive it, spray it out.
35:06That was a terrific shot make by Landry Schammett to get the Julian Strauss to fly by,
35:10but that's when the Knicks are at their best in the half-court,
35:13is when they get a reversal and then get a piece of the paint.
35:17Schammett with two three-pointers.
35:19Empty possession for Denver.
35:21Now the Knicks working it around the perimeter.
35:22Tyler Kolek checking into the game for New York, starting this second period.
35:27Shot clock at five.
35:28Schammett gets past Watson.
35:30He leaves his feet, but then comes back and swats it away.
35:33But Watson is a good shot blocker.
35:37Averages 1.2 a game.
35:40Strother called for the offensive foul.
35:43Running over Schammett.
35:44That is his first.
35:51Fourth turnover by Denver.
35:53Four by the Knicks in that first quarter.
35:55All by Jalen Brunson.
35:56The Knicks have won seven in a row.
36:03Their longest since December of 2024, when they won ninth straight.
36:07Mitchell Robinson hammers it down off the alley-oop from Kolek.
36:10Well, they're putting Nikola Jokic in ball screen situations in that middle third of the floor.
36:15Mitchell Robinson is such a good pick-and-roll big guy because he gets in and out of those screens quickly
36:22and with force to the rim.
36:23Really drags defenders with him.
36:25Brown misses the easy one inside after banking in a three from about 30 feet away at the buzzer
36:31and tries to strip Ananobi, who misses the mid-range shot.
36:36Boarded by Strother.
36:42Entry pass to Jokic.
36:43Poked away.
36:44Back to Strother.
36:46Jokic with four points, five rebounds, three assists in nine minutes.
36:49Watson inside.
36:51And he's fouled by Robinson.
36:52A really good little 45-degree cut.
36:55By Peyton Watson.
36:58And Ananobi tried to get the steal.
37:00And there was another defender right there.
37:03And Jokic, such a good passer.
37:04He's got Tyler Kolek in front of him.
37:06Just a smart cut to the front of the rim by Peyton Watson.
37:11And Watson's improvement from last year to this year has been tremendous.
37:14But the way he played when Nikola Jokic was out, averaging 22 a game, he just had so many high-level performances.
37:23I mean, at 29 against Oklahoma City, wound up five of seven from three in that game.
37:29And put up 35 against Washington.
37:33That's his first point tonight, though.
37:340 for 4 from the floor.
37:360 for 3 from three.
37:37Did not get the contract extension he was looking for, so he'll be a restricted free agent in the summer.
37:42But he has proven himself so far this season to be a very valuable part of this Denver team.
37:50He's a two-way player.
37:51Good defender.
37:53Good challenge at the rim.
37:54Schammett pulls up and hits.
37:56Landry Schammett with eight points in eight minutes.
37:59He averages about ten points per game.
38:02He's such a valuable reserve because not only can he shoot it, but he's low turnover and he's an underrated defender.
38:09On his second year with the Knicks, 16 in eight years out of Wichita State.
38:15Watson pulls up from 12, comes up short.
38:17He's 0 for 5 from the field.
38:20Knicks by 4.
38:21Three minutes gone by.
38:22In his second quarter.
38:23And an OB drop.
38:25Clarkson, who started the game his first start of the year, can't get the three to fall.
38:31Five points in the opening quarter for Clarkson.
38:36Jokic gave up the dribble.
38:37He thought he was fouled.
38:44On the wing.
38:45Screened by Hardaway.
38:46And offensive foul is called on Jokic.
38:52Actually going to get Hardaway for the foul.
39:00Whistle was a little late after the screen.
39:02I guess they thought Hardaway pushed Robinson to Jokic.
39:05You don't see many 6'11 guys operating as a pick-and-roll ball handler, but Jokic can do that.
39:13It's by Watson, forces a Kolek turnover.
39:20First foul on Tim Hardaway Jr., but it doesn't cost him to get the ball back.
39:24Jokic has taken four shots, made two.
39:34He'll hoist over Robinson and hit.
39:37First three-point attempt of the game for Jokic.
39:39Just a remarkable player.
39:42He averages 29 a game, about 12 rebounds.
39:46Over tennis, averaging a triple-double.
39:48Robinson blows past him, though, and hammers it down.
39:52That's one of the ways you have to attack Jokic is make him guard.
39:56Put him in pick-and-rolls.
39:58Bruce Brown with a stuffed great pass by Jokic, his fourth assist.
40:02Any time you put Nikoli Jokic in the middle of the floor, he can just pick you apart if there's no pressure on him.
40:10Kolek will try a three.
40:12In and out.
40:13Almost tipped in by Bridges twice.
40:15And finally, the glass controlled by Jokic, who's shooting 45% from three and 60% from the floor.
40:24Career highs in both.
40:26Almost turned it over, though, there.
40:28And then Watson threw it between the legs of Brown.
40:30Shot clock down to six.
40:34Jokic with three.
40:36Step-backs rejected by Robinson.
40:42They're going to look at the shot clock here to see if it should be a 24-second violation.
40:48I thought Jokic was going to go to a little Dirk fadeaway there, but Robinson timed it out beautifully to get it with the left hand.
40:571.5 on the shot clock for Denver.
41:00Strother throws it to Jokic, who's falling out of bounds, and it's a 24-second violation.
41:10Not a great pass from Strother.
41:120.0.
41:120.2.
41:21No more of the forster.
41:302.0.
