00:04and all over the floor you can see each player preparing for the game ahead pushing out
00:09distractions and getting into the zone thanks everyone for joining 2k sports for this wednesday
00:16evening presentation of the nba this is brian anderson stan van gundy it's grand hill here with
00:22me and in a few moments we'll hear from our reporter ali la force and taking a broader look
00:29here at the year-over-year scoring trend for demar derozan and it's not the kind of trend he wanted
00:35to see but that's what happens over the course of almost any career coaches around the league have
00:40learned all your tendencies and let's face it playing for as long as he has takes a toll on the
00:46body now
00:46the starting group for the visitors torian prince is out there with rui achimura then there's keon
00:52ellis then it's rashawn holmes and it's mitchell in at the one and for the kings derozan and murray
00:58in at the forward positions zach lavine out there with russell westbrook and it's sabonis in at the
01:04five grant these are two teams with some of the highest assist rates in the league yeah ba and it
01:10really goes to show the unselfish attitude they both have not to mention how many skilled passers
01:16are on both rosters now here's holmes shoots over sabonis that one's wide left
01:24from the wing and it's derozan missing
01:32sabonis against holmes fires from 14 shoots over sabonis holmes no good
01:42here's lavine for three and holmes pulls it down
01:49achimura outside
01:52to the left side wing holmes passes to prince
01:55over to rosen and prince with the bucket on the assist by holmes
02:00i mean what do you expect when you give them the clear look that's just too easy
02:04and it is dangerous to let him get it going this early good chance here for westbrook and another
02:10miss by sacramento gone one for three so far holmes passes to mitchell
02:19on the wing achimura
02:23that one is off oh gritty defense protecting the rim at all costs against the guy who has all sorts
02:30of ways to finish
02:31murray no good 0 for 4 to start this game some of it's execution and some of it's just bad
02:38luck
02:39holmes passes to ellis shoots over lavine money from the wing
02:47and the first quarter of action two minutes in
02:49and a great story stand
02:51key on ellis
02:52signed a two-way contract as an undrafted free agent in 22
02:56well he's a fantastic defender
02:58and still rounding out the rest of his game
03:01b.a. is another example
03:04of how the two-way contract rule has been great for this league
03:08and sends it home
03:09with some passion
03:11i think he's rubbing it in a little bit here hanging up there like that
03:14and so now a timeout called by doug christie
03:17and we might see some changes
03:18coach potentially looking to adjust
03:20and for an idea of how the league is shaping up right now
03:23take a look at these latest power rankings
03:25taking a look at minnesota
03:27they're building some momentum right now
03:29and aiming for a spot in the top five
03:31you know right now for the visiting team
03:34they've played with a lot of effort over this last stretch
03:37sometimes that's the only edge you need to beat teams that are similar in talent
03:42they're the class of their division right now
03:45now here's de rosen
03:47last game we saw him with 32 points
03:50that one goes
03:51now he's one for two
03:52yeah he is a heady vet
03:55de rosen figures out ways to outsmart the defense
04:01pass to ellis
04:02here's prince
04:03defended by de rosen
04:07ellis good
04:08ellis has got his second basket of the night
04:13and we're about three minutes into this first quarter
04:19de rosen outside
04:23here's levine
04:24and levine throws it down
04:27well that's just a nice slam there from levine
04:30he makes it look so easy
04:32mitchell the pass to holmes
04:35outside mitchell
04:38it's prince on the wing
04:41back to ellis
04:45and he banks in the layup
04:47ellis has got six
04:49their offense looking like a well-oiled machine
04:55here's levine
04:58he's looking good
04:59two buckets and three attempts
05:01well let's not forget
05:02levine's got a great handle
05:05ellis left side
05:08pass to prince
05:10here's achimura
05:14and it's slammed in by achimura
05:17and i love how he's pushing the tempo
05:19and creating for others
05:21he does this game in and game out
05:23incredible
05:24yeah when you're moving the ball like that
05:26it just keeps everyone engaged in the game
05:29now here's de rosen
05:30an important role in this offense
05:33averaging around 12 and a half per game
05:36all sorts of time
05:37another one falls for sacramento
05:39he's looking very confident so far
05:42the defense is going to have to account for him
05:46pass to prince
05:49now mitchell
05:51now holmes
05:52he's guarded by sabonis
05:57here's ellis
05:59no good on the three
06:00yeah and the defense has really got to tighten up on him
06:03i mean he's just too dangerous from the three-point line
06:07here's murray
06:08and he's in the books
06:10now one for two
06:11yeah just a solid play by murray
06:13he knows where to get his shots
06:17pass to prince
06:18ellis on the wing
06:19there's the three
06:20hits the trifecta
06:22he's got nine
06:25kings trail by five
06:29westbrook outside
06:32here's de rosen
06:34oh his shooting remains on point
06:37three for four thus far
06:38well look
06:39de rosen for his size
06:41an excellent ball handler
06:43able to create his own look
06:46now here's holmes
06:48got it
06:48and defensively
06:50that's just not gonna cut it
06:55now here's lavine
06:56he's covered closely
06:57and so now a timeout called by doug christie
07:00he'll take the opportunity to regroup
07:15some changes for sacramento
07:17achua comes in for sabonis
07:19and it's monk
07:20and it's monk in for russell westbrook
07:36sacramento passing it around
07:38here's de rosen
07:40and that one comes up a bit short
07:42almost too wide open there
07:44that's like a warm-up jumper for him
07:47holmes
07:48passes to james
07:51it's watson on the wing
07:52outside mitchell
07:56played it in with a nice touch off the window
07:58and you like the balance here
08:00not just falling in love with the three ball
08:06here's lavine
08:08and that one goes out of bounds
08:10last touch by murray
08:13let's look back on this past month
08:14and see the teams who were lights out from three-point range
08:17the kings in fifth
08:19and i love the way both teams are shooting the three ball
08:22they're shooting it with conviction
08:23and it shows up in the numbers
08:25look at who's out there now for sacramento
08:28sabonis he's checked in for murray
08:29and it's schroeder in for zach lavine
08:33mitchell the pass to holmes
08:36back to mitchell
08:38lets the three fly
08:40and domas sabonis pulls it down
08:42kings trail by seven
08:47the open shot de rosen
08:48and the 18 footer right on the mark
08:51de rosen's got eight
08:52so simple and so effective
08:55de rosen is a monster in the mid ring
08:59holmes finds achimura
09:01now here's mitchell
09:05for three
09:06drills it from deep
09:08mitchell's got his second bucket of the night
09:10he's consistent from out there
09:12especially when you give him that kind of room
09:16it's de rosen with a drive
09:17blocked
09:21pass to watson
09:25uneasy two on the layup
09:26i just love the ball
09:30we've got 33 seconds left in the first quarter of the game
09:37schroeder against mitchell
09:40schroeder passes to de rosen
09:46five to shoot
09:48and sabonis slams it in
09:50i'll tell you you can get a lot of mileage
09:53putting sabonis in the team in the game
09:55mitchell the pass to holmes
09:57back to mitchell
10:02what's one up from 19
10:03what a play
10:05he drains it at the buzzer
10:08and credit him for understanding the situation
10:11and coming through
10:12yeah really a perfect way to finish that quarter
10:15on a strong positive note
10:18so as we end the first quarter
10:20already a double digit ball game
10:22up 10
10:23and back to the start of the second quarter
10:26in just a moment
10:37and so far through one quarter
10:39it's been a lopsided game
10:41we'll see if that changes here in the second
10:43and what do you guys think about the visitors here in this one
10:46i'll tell you what
10:47judging from that first period
10:49you have to love what they're doing offensively
10:52well you know i'm going to give this coaching staff some credit
10:55what a great game plan they've had
10:57let's see if this can continue
11:00kings trail by 10
11:02precious achua is out there with damonis sabonis
11:05then it's dennis schroeder
11:06then it's malik monk
11:08and it's mcdermott
11:09in at the three
11:10so that's the five in the game for sacramento
11:13shooting 71 percent
11:15their offenses look unstoppable all game long
11:18and grant after last season
11:20a new front office taking over in sacramento
11:22trying to get them back in the playoffs
11:24yeah and after ending their record-breaking postseason drought in 2023
11:29the last two years have seen the kings again outside the playoffs
11:33they're restless to get back there in the mix
11:36here's gillespie
11:37following the score by sacramento
11:40lets it fly from 18
11:43schroeder with a rebound
11:44you'll probably hear about that shot selection when he gets back to the bench
11:48maybe not their best option now
11:51well that one should be in his wheelhouse
11:53but just off the mark
11:55let's check in with our reporter
11:56ali la force
11:57thanks a lot guys
11:58damonis sabonis is driven
12:00he said quote
12:01there's no calm time with me
12:02there's a lot to work on to help my teammates and win games
12:05that desperation to stay here in the nba
12:07because i love it
12:08and try to get better
12:09i'm always thinking about it
12:11and i don't think that's going to change
12:12guys back to you
12:13okay ali thanks a lot
12:15now here's mcdermott
12:16still without a bucket
12:18pass to monk
12:21takes the three
12:22and another miss by sacramento
12:25hey guys this shot hasn't been fallen this quarter
12:28time to settle down
12:29refocus
12:30and get a really high percentage look
12:33hey shot is good
12:35that's been typical of their performance today
12:38they're sharing the ball
12:39and creating good shots
12:42here's schroeder
12:43that one goes
12:44now he's one for two
12:45well listen
12:46you know schroeder's first option
12:48is to attack
12:49he's incredibly quick
12:52and can still beat you to the spot
12:55and the visitors call time here
13:04russell westbrook
13:05he's checked in for the kings
13:16second quarter of play with around two minutes gone so far
13:19gillespie passes to achimura
13:21and it's slammed in by achimura
13:24yeah his athleticism more than makes up for his lack of size
13:28allows him to compete
13:30even against bigger guys
13:32now here's the bonus
13:34right now contributing around ten and a half points a game
13:38excellent defense there from watson
13:40and it didn't register as an official block
13:43but he did everything you want in disrupting that shot
13:47well you know
13:48sometimes the most pivotal plays
13:50don't always go on the stretch
13:53well if you have the space
13:55you have to take that shot
13:57he missed it
13:58but he's trying to keep the defense on
14:00and yep it's good
14:02schroeder's got his second basket
14:04well he's fearless amongst the trees
14:07when schroeder sees a scoring opportunity in close
14:11he takes charge
14:13here's gillespie
14:14no points yet
14:18ellis good
14:18well they have leaned on him offensively with good reason
14:23efficiency will help you win a lot of games
14:29now here's monk
14:30he's been a consistent contributor
14:32averaging just over 11 a game
14:34and here's schroeder outside
14:36and that makes him three for four
14:38he's looking good
14:39and you might think the toughest picks are set by the bruisers
14:42but some say the shooters actually set the best screens
14:45why is that
14:46well the guy guarding the shooter
14:48doesn't want to leave their side
14:50so when they screen you
14:52you get no help
14:53now here's watson
14:55checking his numbers
14:56he's put up a little over nine points a game
14:58nice jump shot from the top of the key
15:00well that's a terrific kick out pass
15:03when the defense collapses like that on the inside
15:06you've got open people outside
15:09and timeout called by Doug Christie
15:11I think right now
15:12he might be looking at some adjustments
15:16some changes for Sacramento
15:18DeRozan has checked in for Achua
15:20and it's Levine in for Schroeder
15:37Westbrook right side
15:38good
15:40that's the area on the floor
15:42where Westbrook's efficiency scoring the ball
15:44is fantastic
15:45gotten four of their first nine shots
15:48gets to go here in the second
15:50Gillespie passes to Ellis
15:52from the arc
15:53that's basket number six and eight tries
15:55he made the most of that opening
15:57teaching the defense a lesson
16:02pass to DeRozan
16:05down low
16:06here's Sabonis
16:07yes
16:08great play by DeRozan to set him up
16:10yeah DeRozan is an intelligent playmaker
16:13opening up the floor for his team
16:15with the pick and roll
16:16something teammates love about DeMar DeRozan
16:19he has that clutch gene in him
16:21yeah B.A. he is fearless in those big moments
16:24he remains steady
16:26keeps his focus
16:27and that makes him deadly
16:29against defenses
16:30that are scrambling to close out a game
16:32and now
16:33almost all their points
16:35coming from the paint
16:36first trip to the free throw line
16:38for him tonight
16:38and Sacramento
16:39making a change here
16:41Eubanks has checked in
16:47and that one falls for Westbrook
16:49the future Hall of Famer
16:51Westbrook averaging a triple-double
16:54in a number of seasons
16:55and came close a few other times
16:58here's Gillespie
16:59no made baskets yet
17:01pass to Prince
17:03over Levine
17:04and Prince with the bucket
17:06on the assist from Hachimura
17:09Hachimura's got his third assist of the night
17:12outside Levine
17:15off target from three-point range
17:17nice rebound
17:19trying to match the other team's intensity right now
17:22Holmes finds Hachimura
17:25off target from the wing
17:26Kings trail by seven
17:32now Levine
17:33they look to him to score consistently
17:35averaging around 13 and a half a game
17:37nice job there by Levine
17:39making the extra pass
17:40and putting it on the money
17:42and the visitors call time here
17:53and now let's take a look at the small forwards
17:55with the highest shooting percentages for the season
17:58in the third spot
17:59DeMar DeRozan
18:00and this group does a great job of staying in attack mode
18:03I mean you have to be getting a lot of layups
18:05to have that kind of shooting percentage
18:07yeah as a wing
18:08it can be hard to hit your shots at a high rate
18:11I applaud this group for playing smart basketball
18:16Sacramento has gone just one of five so far this quarter from three
18:21Monk passes to Ube
18:23and he dunks it down
18:25well that is what they want from Monk
18:27making passes
18:29keeping the offense flowing
18:33pass to Hachimura
18:34launches it
18:36rebound by Sacramento
18:38and think about this
18:39that game was really a coin toss
18:41they were fortunate to have survived
18:43and picked up the win
18:44yeah they needed some extra time to get it done
18:47but at the end of the day
18:49a win's a win
18:50Prince
18:53defensively
18:54you can't afford to let him get to the rim that easily
18:56well that might be why their deficit is what it is right now
18:59well that's too easy
19:01as he says
19:02let me add to my highlight
19:06gotten seven of 15 shots here in the second quarter
19:09and it's slammed in by Hachimura
19:13oh nice one-handed jam there B.A.
19:16hey little exclamation point
19:18and Levine has got the ball here for the Kings
19:21seven point differential
19:22and think about this
19:24that game was really a coin toss
19:26they were fortunate to have survived
19:28and picked up the win
19:29yeah they needed some extra time to get it done
19:32but at the end of the day
19:33a win's a win
19:35here's Gillespie
19:36no points so far
19:38and there it is for him
19:40and they're building up steam
19:41getting out in front
19:43and trying not to look back
19:44well look
19:45we've seen that no lead is safe these days
19:48you gotta keep scoring and extending that margin
19:51now here's Westbrook
19:53last game he had 28 points
19:55above the rim athlete
19:57even on the back nine
19:59Westbrook sends it home
20:02Gillespie passes to Holmes
20:05the rebound by Eubanks
20:07Kings trail by seven
20:09one second separating the shot clock and the game clock
20:12DeRozan with the bucket
20:14they have no answer defensively inside
20:18gotten three of their seven threes to find the net in this matchup
20:22it's Prince on the wing
20:23pass to Gillespie
20:27back to Hachimura
20:30and here's Holmes
20:33and so a close game as we wrap up the first half of play
20:37up by five
20:38and we'll be right back after halftime
20:40to get the third quarter underway
21:09welcome everybody
21:11the story tonight
21:12has been a solid showing through the first half
21:15they're playing with the team first attitude
21:17making that extra pass
21:19Shaq
21:19that could have been you
21:21you need to check your receipts
21:22sir
21:23over 3,000 career assists
21:25apparently accepted
21:31and let's move on to the Eastern Conference standings
21:34the true contenders are beginning to stand out
21:38you take a look at the visitors
21:40they've been hanging around the upper echelon
21:42playing with good energy
21:43feels like the chemistry is right with this team
21:45they put themselves in the championship discussion
21:50thanks as always for watching
21:52let's head back to Brian Anderson and crew
21:54for the start of the second half
22:10and we've got second half action for you
22:13thus far a pretty evenly contested game
22:15you gotta like what Keon Ellis has done in this game
22:18through the first two quarters
22:20he's been on fire
22:21explosive offensive performance
22:23yeah and in terms of slowing him down
22:26I think they're gonna have to change things up
22:29give him some different looks
22:44Westbrook with it
22:44Rashawn Holmes is out there with Rui Achimura
22:47then there's Prince
22:48then there's Mitchell
22:49and it's Ellis in at the two
22:51their offense is really humming right now
22:54and it's because of the beautiful ball distribution
22:57shooting the ball at 60%
22:59an excellent average
23:00and Mitchell with the slam
23:03oh excellent way to add the lead
23:06yeah especially when it's your one
23:08throwing it down like that
23:10it shows you're able to attack the rim
23:12from any position
23:14what relentless energy from Westbrook on the drive
23:17not letting the defense get in his way
23:20Westbrook's gone four for eight from the floor
23:24Mitchell the pass to Prince
23:28outside Mitchell
23:29shoots over Westbrook
23:31and it's Mitchell
23:32the miss
23:33yeah well that's a shot
23:35the defense is probably gonna let him keep taking
23:37kicks it out to Westbrook
23:41nifty move
23:42and it's good
23:44credit Levine with the assist
23:47Levine's got three assists now in this one
23:51boy this offense has been dynamic and diversified
23:54just everyone sharing the ball and sharing the load makes you difficult to defend
23:59oh it's good
24:00probably a play they drew up in the locker room at half
24:04yeah I like how they're establishing their interior presence right away
24:08that's gonna collapse the defense and create other opportunities
24:12that's ten straight points they've given up in the painted area
24:15and from the sideline let's catch up with Allie
24:18thanks a lot Brian
24:20the Kings going into last season bringing an experienced closer in DeMar DeRozan
24:25DeMontis Savonis said it's what we needed
24:27more veterans
24:28we're a young team
24:29we all know we're good
24:31but it never hurts to have one of those big time NBA players
24:34on the team for confidence
24:35for backup
24:36for everything
24:37guys back to you
24:38all right Allie thank you
24:40yeah they've had their hands full with DeRozan
24:42he is scary when he gets it going
24:45and Grant the son of Hall of Famer Arvidas Savonis
24:48how much do you think Domas modeled his game after his dad
24:51well B.A. I played against his dad
24:53Arvidas was five inches taller
24:56but the elite skill set shared in common
24:59no doubt Domas took a lot of pointers from his father
25:02and so now a timeout called by Doug Christie
25:05we might see him looking to make some tweaks to the strategy
25:12about halfway through the season
25:14let's take a look at the standings out west
25:17you look at the Kings
25:18right now they're in ninth place
25:20definitely not the kind of success they envisioned at this point of the season
25:24well I think for Sacramento
25:26I really think they've been hit and missed thus far
25:28I mean they are a playoff level team
25:31but are they championship level?
25:34probably not
25:35yeah and that's not a knock on them
25:36this is where most people expected them to be
25:39they just don't have the time to be up there with the contenders
25:44what impresses me most about DeRozan is his footwork
25:47especially when he's operating around the mid-range
25:50first trip to the line for him here
25:53the first free throw is good
26:01both good from the line that time
26:03well you see why teams try to avoid fouling
26:06you're basically giving away points
26:10Machimura the pass to Ellis
26:13fires in the triple
26:14Ellis has got 17
26:17big time scoring night from Ellis
26:19these are a giant bonus for his team
26:22they mostly want Keon to be a shutdown defender
26:26they're finding ways to get the ball into the paint
26:29five consecutive buckets
26:33Machimura outside
26:36the rebound by Murray
26:39Murray's got four rebounds now
26:41Westbrook into the lane
26:43the three from DeRozan
26:45offensive board
26:46takes a three
26:48excellent D there from Holmes
26:51gotten four of seven shots to drop in the third
26:53here's Machimura
26:54ooh the lead pass was in the perfect spot to set up the layup
26:58he's got ten
27:00when it's this close
27:01every bucket matters
27:03you need good looks
27:06Westbrook outside
27:08the three
27:09that drops
27:10and it comes off an assist from Levine
27:14Levine's got five assists tonight
27:15he's done that his whole career
27:18Westbrook smooth with the triple
27:20and the visitors call time here
27:28some of the hottest players in the league to show you now
27:31the top scores among shooting guards during the previous ten games
27:35fifth Zach Levine
27:36and night after night we see this group light it up
27:40if you try to take something away from them defensively
27:42they'll beat you some other way
27:44yeah all of these guys can carry your team offensively
27:47over long stretches
27:50now here's Ellis
27:5217 points in the game
27:53Machimura from long range
27:56Zach Levine clears it away
27:58and it's Levine with a ball for Sacramento
28:01they lead by one
28:02when this game's over
28:03they'll be off to Golden State
28:05as they take on the Warriors
28:06and that'll be their only game on the road
28:09before heading back home
28:10Prince can't hit
28:13the Kings have gotten seven of their first
28:15eleven attempts to go in this half
28:17Murray no good
28:20gotten five of ten shots to go
28:23Prince
28:23the pass to Ellis
28:29back to Holmes
28:33rebound by Sacramento
28:34Sabonis has got his eighth rebound here tonight
28:37pass to Westbrook
28:44back to DeRozan

29:36DeRozan
29:39Sacramento passing it around
29:41Murray
29:42good from way out
29:44man they're having a hard time
29:45defending the triple
29:46that's three in a row
29:49gone six of thirteen to open up this second half
29:52pass to Prince
29:53let's go with a three
29:54that's basket number six and eight drives
29:57and both teams running long range plays
30:00that are working
30:01well you know it's become a three point shooting lead
30:04teams shooting a steady diet from outside
30:07well the defense catches a break there
30:10you expect him to make those
30:14DeRozan
30:14for three
30:15that drops
30:16and it comes off an assist from Levine
30:19Levine's got six assists now in the game
30:21and the visitors call time here
30:32and some changes here for the Kings
30:34Achua's checked in for Murray
30:36Malik Monk comes in for DeMar DeRozan
30:38and it's Dennis Schroeder in for Russell Westbrook
30:46here's Mitchell
30:47seven points in the game
30:50pass to Gay
30:52oh and makes it with the kiss
30:55Gay's got his second bucket on the night
30:57well orchestrated
30:58and then the pass is right on the money
31:06and Sacramento making a change here
31:11now into the lineup for Sacramento
31:14number five
31:16Nick Clifford
31:231-0-2 left in the third quarter
31:26Monk for three
31:27Gay with a rebound
31:28Gay's got four rebounds now
31:32here's Mitchell
31:33uses the glass to finish the layup
31:35and it's now only a one point Kings lead
31:38you've got to appreciate the consistency
31:40night in and night out
31:42he brings it
31:44pass to Clifford
31:47outside Schroeder
31:51pick by Sabonis
31:52the three ball
31:53the offensive rebound
31:59outside Schroeder
32:00and it's all from three point range
32:04gone five of twelve from three point range tonight
32:07Gay's shot is good
32:08Gay's got six points
32:10extremely competitive game thus far
32:13yeah six lead changes in total
32:15I expect there to be more to come
32:17and here's Schroeder outside
32:18sinks it from distance
32:21and the Kings lead by two
32:23well when Schroeder has the three ball working
32:26the defense has to get out on him
32:29and that sets up his drive
32:31and he was dominant in their last outing
32:34and the same thing here tonight
32:36he is in a terrific move right now
32:38yeah for sure
32:39he is just oozing confidence
32:42since every shot is going in
32:44they should just keep running sets for him
32:46what a performance for DeMar DeRozan
32:49he's been the story for Sacramento
32:51he put together ten points in the quarter
32:54more 2k action in just a moment
33:02and a moment now as we take a look at our State Farm assist of the game
33:06you know I'm kind of stoked that this was a choice
33:09because I love this pass
33:10a remarkable find
33:12he put his court vision on full display
33:15yeah he puts that pass right on the money
33:18and made things look easy for his team
33:23and with these teams locked in a very close contest
33:26this fourth quarter promises to be a good one
33:29perimeter is filled up by Munkin DeRozan
33:31Achua is out there with Drew Eubanks
33:33and it's Westbrook in it to one
33:35so that's the five in the game for Sacramento
33:38and DeRozan an excellent passer
33:41finding his open teammate
33:46shooting it well at 59%
33:50pass to Gate
33:53rebound by Sacramento
33:58Westbrook outside
34:01with the drive
34:03and he got the whistle on the way up
34:05so he'll be headed to the line for a pair
34:08well even though he's a little older
34:10Westbrook still possesses impressive athleticism
34:14which he uses well to attract contact
34:18and that one falls for Westbrook
34:34so he hits one of two from the stripe
34:39Achimura in the post
34:40Achua's there
34:41the three
34:42James
34:43Achua with the rebound
34:45Sacramento leading by three
34:47here's DeRozan
34:48Gay with the rebound
34:51Gay's got six rebounds now in the game
34:53inside
34:54Achua with the steal
34:58Monk with it
34:59started out by Watson
35:02and it's Monk missing
35:03every player goes through this
35:05when your shots aren't going down
35:07it can ding your confidence
35:08here's Achimura
35:10that's his six make and eleven tries
35:12and this is just typical of him
35:15always making an impact
35:16at crucial moments in the game
35:18well you know this is when they lean on him
35:21and he delivers with a much needed score
35:24and he gets it to go
35:26DeRozan's got twelve points here in the second half
35:28oh the lost art of the mid-range jumper
35:32DeRozan dialing it in
35:34Watson
35:34soft touch off the glass
35:36wow
35:37they're really being taken advantage of defensively out there
35:41no rim protection whatsoever
35:44wide open look
35:46Westbrook with the miss
35:47gone two of five from the field in this final quarter
35:50pass to James
35:52lays it up and banks it in
35:54oh couldn't have asked for a more hotly contested game
35:57these teams have swapped the lead eight times
36:00I believe it's coming down to the wire
36:06here's DeRozan
36:09another shot
36:10and he gets it to go
36:12off the front iron
36:14DeRozan's got twenty-four
36:16once DeRozan gets inside with the ball
36:19he is very efficient
36:21and the visitors call time here
36:31and Sacramento with some changes
36:33Damana Sabonis he's checked in for Eubanks
36:36Keegan Murray comes in for Achua
36:38and it's Zach Levine in for DeMar DeRozan
36:41all right let's check in with Ali LaForce
36:43hey guys
36:44over that break I was able to catch the message
36:46that the visiting team coach was giving to his team
36:49and coach challenged the team
36:50asking them to bring the fight inside
36:53telling them to play with pride
36:55telling the team you're getting bully near the hoop

37:02and give him another one
37:04he's six of eight and looking solid
37:06well that's his first three here in the second half
37:09gotta think he'd like a few more of those
37:11here's Levine for three
37:13and Holmes pulls it down
37:16Holmes has got his seventh rebound of the game
37:18with that last one
37:19that one's good from Achimura
37:21on the assist from Prince
37:24Prince has got assist number eight here
37:26already in the game
37:29outside Monk
37:32back to Levine
37:34looking to end his cold spell
37:36and Levine throws it down
37:39his hang time on the rim
37:41puts a sweet cherry on top
37:43VA
37:43it's a close game
37:45and those displays of explosiveness
37:47can jump start a team
37:49and Levine
37:50has got the ball here
37:51for the Kings
37:52pass to Murray
37:53from behind the arc
37:55the shot comes out

38:00count the basket
38:02Achimura's got six

38:10outside Murray
38:14Monk looking around
38:16pass to Murray
38:17jacks up a three
38:18pure
38:19from three point range
38:21and after a lackluster first half

46:45gone two for five
46:47here in OT
46:52let's loose for three
46:53knocks down the trifecta
46:55well the defense
46:56gave that away
46:57he's a skilled shooter
46:59who you have
47:00to detest
47:01at almost seven feet
47:03tall
47:03you gotta push
47:04Sabonis farther away
47:06when you don't
47:07he just dunks it
47:08with ease
47:09and the visitors
47:10call time here
47:30here's Mitchell
47:31from deep
47:33Levine
47:34rips down the board

47:45home
47:46adding to his
47:48long list
47:49of highlight reel
47:50finishes
47:50DeRozan
47:51still exciting
47:53to watch
47:53what a sensational
47:55move
47:55captured from
47:56the connected
47:56cam
47:57sponsored by
47:58AT&T
48:02Mitchell
48:03outside
48:03puts up
48:04the tray
48:04it's good
48:05from beyond
48:06the arc
48:07three points
48:09and here's
48:10DeRozan
48:11he'll bring it up
48:11for Sacramento
48:12four point
48:13game
48:17we're now about
48:18three minutes
48:19into this
48:19overtime period
48:20and he racks up
48:21two
48:22well he's not
48:23as explosive
48:24inside as he
48:25once was
48:26but DeMar DeRozan
48:27still gets it
48:29done at the
48:29rim
48:32another chance
48:33and up and
48:34in on the
48:35layup
48:35relentless
48:36effort
48:37creates the
48:38second chance
48:39opportunity
48:41oh
48:42a gorgeous
48:44feed
48:44he hammered
48:45it down
48:46giant points
48:48from Sabonin
48:49they needed
48:50those
48:52the free
48:53ball is
48:53down
48:54well that's
48:55a breakdown
48:56defensively
48:57can't afford
48:58to give him
48:58those kind
48:59of looks
49:00and I think
49:01we'll see him
49:01milk the clock
49:02a bit
49:02yeah
49:03seems like
49:04the hitting
49:04move right
49:04now
49:05here's the
49:06bonus
49:06and it's
49:07out of bounds
49:08last touch
49:08by Westbrook
49:09the defense
49:10will take
49:11that miscommunication
49:12not even
49:13close
49:19this might
49:20be a turning
49:20point
49:21massive
49:22possession
49:22here
49:23four seconds
49:24separating
49:25the shot
49:25and game
49:25clocks
49:26Achimura
49:28no good
49:29couldn't
49:30tie it
49:30out
49:30and they
49:31committed
49:31intentional
49:32foul
49:32we'll see
49:33another one
49:34of those
49:34so they
49:34get into
49:35the penalty
49:35getting a
49:36little desperate
49:36at this
49:37stage
49:37I mean
49:38the clock's
49:38the big
49:39factor
49:40and Sacramento
49:41has possession
49:43three point lead
49:44and that's
49:45an intentional
49:45foul
49:52and he
49:53cannot get
49:53the first
49:54one to
49:54drop
49:54tough
49:54one to
49:55miss
50:02that's
50:02good
50:03going one of two
50:04from the line
50:04and that gives
50:05him a four point
50:06cushion
50:06and the visitors
50:07call time
50:08here
50:09given the
50:10situation
50:10here
50:10what sort
50:11of strategy
50:12needs to be
50:12top of line
50:13an uphill
50:14battle for
50:15them
50:15everything has
50:16to go
50:16perfectly
50:17well I'm
50:18sure they'll
50:18run a play
50:19they believe
50:19in
50:20if it works
50:21I say
50:22try for the
50:22steal
50:23and if you
50:24don't get
50:24it
50:24immediate
50:25foul
50:29Mitchell
50:31can't get
50:32the three
50:32and they
50:33stop the
50:33clock as
50:34soon as
50:34they can
50:35with the
50:35intentional
50:35foul
50:45and that
50:46hurts as
50:46he doesn't
50:47get the
50:47first one

50:55and becoming
50:55more dangerous
50:56out there
50:58Mitchell
50:59fires
50:59and the
51:01three
51:01misses
51:04so a
51:05close game
51:06sees Sacramento
51:07taking this
51:08one
51:08things looked
51:09a little
51:09uneven for
51:10them down
51:10the stretch
51:11but in
51:11overtime
51:12they took
51:12control
51:13NBA

51:14think they
51:15expected this
51:15one to be
51:16so hard
51:16fought
51:16but when
51:17they went
