00:08:59Продолжение следует...
00:09:193-3, long rebound right back to Bridges, and he drills that midrange J.
00:09:26Now up to 12.
00:09:31Discard, swing, and Mitchell stepped out of bounds.
00:09:35Knicks were looking for an offensive foul. Didn't get it, but they do have the turnover.
00:09:40Take a look at it here. And not a full extension of the arm, but definitely...
00:09:45There was contact. Some contact, yes. There was contact.
00:09:49Again, Brunson leads this Knicks team in terms of charges drawn at 20.
00:09:5520 of the 33 coming from Brunson.
00:09:59The team has a whole third in the NBA in total charges drawn.
00:10:04Again, that's your best player. Sacrificing his body.
00:10:10And an OB with seven to shoot.
00:10:13Oh, the slip from Bridges, and a lot of contact coming from Mobley.
00:10:17It's a foul. Could have been extra dangerous.
00:10:20Luckily, nobody seems to be injured.
00:10:21And Harden is trying to say that was before the act of shooting.
00:10:27But you're going to give a little bit of grace to Bridges because that could have been a dangerous play.
00:10:31Because the easy could have gone up at the peril of Evan Mobley.
00:10:37So I like the official here giving a little bit of grace here and saying he was going to shoot
00:10:42the basketball, which he was.
00:10:46Bridges on the season, 82.9% from the free throw line.
00:10:53615 consecutive games to start his NBA career.
00:10:57Ninth most all time.
00:10:58And yet he's just barely halfway to AC Green.
00:11:02That might be untouchable.
00:11:051192.
00:11:06Leads the Knicks in total steals.
00:11:08He's tied for the team lead in total blocks.
00:11:12And you scratch your head as much movement as he does on the floor night in and night out.
00:11:18But he hasn't had a rolled ankle, knocking on wood right now, to play that many games straight, Noah.
00:11:24He's actually run the most miles in the NBA.
00:11:27Total distance traveled.
00:11:28He has surpassed Tyrese Maxey.
00:11:30He has the most total distance on the court this season.
00:11:33To me, that's all engine.
00:11:35Engine and heart.
00:11:36And I don't think he's missed a game.
00:11:38We can go all the way back to college and high school.
00:11:41I think the last time he missed a game was maybe his junior year in high school.
00:11:46And it was his own version, I think, of a flu game.
00:11:49He had the flu game.
00:11:51Speaking of college basketball, we've got it live on Peacock with a matchup of the Big East Premier teams.
00:11:57Zuby Ejiofor and 15th-ranked St. John's visit Alex Carabin at number 6 UConn tomorrow at 7 Eastern on Peacock.
00:12:07Well, Bridges did redshirt that first year at Villanova.
00:12:10Of course, winning two titles along with Jalen Brunson.
00:12:12Josh Hart was there for the first of those two as well.
00:12:15Dante DiVincenzo with them.
00:12:17He played with them in New York a couple years back before Bridges got here.
00:12:22Brunson.
00:12:22And a foul is going to be called before the pullback.
00:12:24It's going to be on Harden.
00:12:26And he got him in the eye.
00:12:29He's asking, are you okay?
00:12:30Did I get you good?
00:12:31Brunson's like, you got me enough.
00:12:35Is it ever good?
00:12:37It's never good, but you got me enough.
00:12:39Right there.
00:12:40Yeah, right there.
00:12:40A little slap.
00:12:44By the way, Mikkel Bridges quietly has the most field goal attempts in this game with 13.
00:12:50He's got 14 points.
00:12:52Maybe looking for another one here.
00:12:54Bounce it to the outside.
00:12:56And Anobi with four on the clock.
00:12:58Step back on Harden.
00:13:00Short.
00:13:00And a weak side rebound is yanked down by Mobley.
00:13:05Nearly five minutes gone in this second half.
00:13:09Mobley circles.
00:13:11Gets it outside for Harden.
00:13:13Who's up to 14.
00:13:14Right back to Mobley.
00:13:15Mismatch with Harden.
00:13:17Can't move him.
00:13:19Six to shoot.
00:13:20Harden.
00:13:21Oh, the step back three.
00:13:23Too strong.
00:13:28Josh Hart got off to that blazing start in the first quarter.
00:13:32Then got into some early foul trouble.
00:13:34Bridges.
00:13:35Weak side rebound to Towns.
00:13:37And a foul is going to be called on Mitchell.
00:13:39Pulling down.
00:13:44They get Jared Allen who they whistled for.
00:13:47So the second on Allen but the fourth team foul on Cleveland with 6.46 to play in this third
00:13:52quarter.
00:13:54What a man's rebound right there.
00:13:56By Towns between two Cavs defenders.
00:14:05It looks like Donovan Mitchell's off the court as Josh Hart too strong from the outside.
00:14:15Schroeder and Merrill off the bench for the Cavs.
00:14:18Bad pass.
00:14:19Bridges jumped the lane.
00:14:21Got to the ball.
00:14:22Bridges is fouled hard by Merrill.
00:14:26Great activity by Bridges.
00:14:31Anticipation here.
00:14:32Lazy pass by Harden.
00:14:34Deflects it in the backcourt.
00:14:37And off to the races here for Bridges.
00:14:40Working on 14.
00:14:44So Mikael Bridges continuing to make his mark now in year two with the Knicks.
00:14:49And we look at the upcoming national TV schedule.
00:14:52A huge one tomorrow night on ESPN.
00:14:54Thunder at Pistons at 7.30 Eastern.
00:14:57Then the Celtics and the Nuggets at 10.
00:14:59Prime Video Thursday has the Rockets at the Magic.
00:15:02Timberwolves and Clippers at 10 Eastern.
00:15:04For more on these games please go to NBA.com or visit the NBA app.
00:15:08I did love what Mike Brown told us before the game.
00:15:11That he feels like his team has grown into a resilient group.
00:15:15They've already gone through adversity earlier on in this season when they went through that rough patch.
00:15:19They've come out the other side and now they've learned how to win games in different ways.
00:15:23Whatever the game is requiring out of them.
00:15:25He feels like they've found an amoeba type of form that they can get to that by the end of
00:15:30the 48 minutes.
00:15:31Right now it's mucking it up on the defensive end.
00:15:33And they've got themselves back in this ball game in the third quarter.
00:15:37Brunson drive on Tyson.
00:15:39Oh he tried to fire a fastball.
00:15:41It was too hot.
00:15:42Here comes Harden behind the defense.
00:15:44Had it stripped by Brunson.
00:15:45What a hustle play.
00:15:49So he turns the basketball over at one end and basically on the baseline.
00:15:55And this is your best player not giving up on the play.
00:15:59Look on the back side.
00:16:01Back in the play for the deflection.
00:16:04And no foul.
00:16:05Well that was a foul.
00:16:07I was going to say no foul but he got raked.
00:16:10Come on now.
00:16:12Wow.
00:16:14That is exactly what the crowd is responding to in the building.
00:16:19Well they got the ball midway through this third quarter.
00:16:21Merrill will keep firing.
00:16:23Long rebound.
00:16:24Shamit.
00:16:25Just struggling.
00:16:26He had been shooting the basketball on a terror lately.
00:16:29But Ola Ford's a ninth and three.
00:16:31Meanwhile Mohamed Diawara's in the game for New York.
00:16:34Bridges short.
00:16:35And it falls to Tyson.
00:16:37So we're seeing Diawara as opposed to Jeremy Sohan who got the minutes in the first half.
00:16:41Schroeder rejects.
00:16:44Tyson.
00:16:47Now Allen.
00:16:48Another big game already with 16 points and eight rebounds.
00:16:51Seven to shoot.
00:16:52Pick and roll with Harden.
00:16:54Push off.
00:16:55Harden.
00:16:56No.
00:16:57And Robinson claims another board.
00:17:03Who's going to get going offensively here for the Knicks?
00:17:08Brunson with 14 points.
00:17:10Only eight field goal attempts so far.
00:17:13Working on Schroeder.
00:17:14Tight defense per usual.
00:17:16Five to shoot.
00:17:17Back down.
00:17:18Brunson turn.
00:17:19Can't hit.
00:17:23Dennis Schroeder doing his job.
00:17:25Kenny Eikenson said the best part about him at this stage in his career he understands his role.
00:17:30And that part of it sets up Allen for another bucket.
00:17:34On a good team.
00:17:36Schroeder is a lethal weapon.
00:17:40All the intangibles that he brings to your club.
00:17:44Schammett will rise.
00:17:46The Knicks struggling from the outside now.
00:17:49Two for 12.
00:17:51Make it two for 13 after that last miss in this quarter.
00:17:54Can't finish.
00:17:55Harden thought he was hit.
00:17:57Bodies on the deck.
00:17:58Five on four with Harden late to recover.
00:18:00Diawara the open man.
00:18:02Off the heel.
00:18:03Cavs catch one.
00:18:05And as bad as the Knicks are playing they're only down by 13.
00:18:18The faithful here in the land of rock and roll is absolutely loving James Harden.
00:18:28Here's the dish from Schroeder.
00:18:31Jared Allen very efficient evening 17 points.
00:18:35But it's James Harden.
00:18:37The new kid on the block here.
00:18:45Right at center court browse multiple camera angles on your own terms.
00:18:49Without losing focus on the game you can find courtside live on the NBA Hub in the Peacock app.
00:18:53This is basketball like you've never seen it before.
00:18:57Largest lead of the night for Cleveland.
00:18:59New York has not led since it was 2-0 in the early going.
00:19:02They're going to get a little bit of a change up with Alvarado now on the floor.
00:19:05Along with Diawara, Shamit, Robinson and Brunson.
00:19:09Allen Mitchell, Merrill Schroeder and Tyson the 5 for Cleveland.
00:19:14Brunson at some point you figure he's going to get it rolling.
00:19:17That won't help but the tip in does from Robinson.
00:19:20Man, he is good on the offensive glass.
00:19:23What a weapon.
00:19:28Skip.
00:19:29Tyson open look.
00:19:30Got it.
00:19:31Jalen Tyson splashes one hole.
00:19:34That's what we were seeing prior to the All-Star game.
00:19:38Looks like Brunson and Schroeder kind of going at it a little bit.
00:19:42A little shoving between the two.
00:19:45Brunson looking to go right at him.
00:19:47Off the screen.
00:19:48Got a little lane.
00:19:50Diawara, open look.
00:19:51Doesn't have the response.
00:19:53He has shot it well overall from three.
00:19:56Over 41% on the season in limited attempts.
00:20:01Schroeder in control.
00:20:03And three seconds going to be called.
00:20:05That's in three seconds.
00:20:07And it's Diawara.
00:20:12I mean, look at all the Knicks' tilted defense here.
00:20:16Again, dribble penetration.
00:20:18I mean, that's too far of a close out there by Diawara.
00:20:22Tyson just walks into a three-point shot.
00:20:26Mitchell will shoot the tee.
00:20:30Mitchell now 8 of 10.
00:20:32Had the charity strike tonight.
00:20:35So it was Sohan who got the minutes in the first half.
00:20:38Now Diawara is getting the minutes here in the second half.
00:20:41Mike Brown just trying to search for the right combination.
00:20:44Dean Wade back on the floor for Cleveland.
00:20:48And he'll replace Allen.
00:20:50So again, smaller lineup against Mitchell Robinson.
00:20:53Schroeder bounce.
00:20:55Wade dive to the rim.
00:20:56Good recovery by Robinson.
00:20:58Four to shoot for Mitchell.
00:20:59On the attack.
00:21:01Oh, Mitchell nearly at the angle.
00:21:04Late to recover.
00:21:05Third to five on four for New York.
00:21:07Alvarado will pull.
00:21:09Long rebound.
00:21:11Oh, Schroeder just knocked it off Alvarado out of bounds.
00:21:15It's all the hustle.
00:21:19The 50-50 balls.
00:21:20This is what you're gonna get from Schroeder.
00:21:23Right off the shoulder.
00:21:26It's like he's playing four square.
00:21:29Wall ball.
00:21:34Front hand, back hand.
00:21:37Wade around.
00:21:39Mitchell, seven to shoot.
00:21:41Likes the matchup with Brunson.
00:21:43Couple across.
00:21:44Oh, he lost to Mitchell.
00:21:46Can't hit the three.
00:21:48Nice move, but you gotta finish it, right?
00:21:51You do.
00:21:53I feel like that's gotta get in your head even more.
00:21:55When you make the great move too.
00:21:57Got the open look.
00:21:59Brunson will fire.
00:22:01Rebound Robinson.
00:22:03Alvarado's three.
00:22:04No.
00:22:05They just cannot buy one from three.
00:22:09They are three for 20 from the field in this quarter.
00:22:12They're five of 24 from three.
00:22:15That's the team.
00:22:17Lot of contact.
00:22:18Alvarado and Merrill go down.
00:22:20Eight to shoot for Tyson.
00:22:22Strive on Diawara.
00:22:23And Robinson with a block.
00:22:25A follow for Wade.
00:22:30Ninety seconds to play in the third quarter.
00:22:33Cleveland's extended this to 16.
00:22:36Diawara on the attack.
00:22:38Brunson on the reload.
00:22:41Schroeder steps up.
00:22:43Switch with Merrill.
00:22:44Brunson looking to go to work.
00:22:46Diawara swing.
00:22:47Right back from Alvarado.
00:22:49Diawara comes up short.
00:22:50Robinson another rebound.
00:22:52And Robinson is fouled with 109 to play in the third.
00:22:56Mike Brown is searching for anything right now.
00:22:59And look what he's getting ready to bring in.
00:23:00Jordan Clarkson.
00:23:03Player of the year in Jordan Clarkson.
00:23:05Just looking for some kind of spark here offensively.
00:23:10Here's Robinson again.
00:23:12Cleaning up the glass here.
00:23:17Nine rebounds.
00:23:19And nine points for Robinson.
00:23:22Actually this is a good foul.
00:23:24It's a great foul.
00:23:25Some would argue.
00:23:27Below 50% on the season.
00:23:29In and out of the first.
00:23:31So Jordan Clarkson officially will check in for the first time since the All-Star break.
00:23:35He has completely fallen out of the next rotation after being a pretty sturdy part for the majority of the
00:23:42season coming off the bench as a scoring punch averaging just over nine points per game.
00:23:46He's got 24 games with double figures this year.
00:23:48We know he's a human torch at times.
00:23:54Empty trick.
00:24:01Final minute of the third.
00:24:03Cavs have extended this to a 16 point cushion.
00:24:08Mitchell's dancing on Shannon.
00:24:10Bounce at Merrill.
00:24:12A round for Tyson.
00:24:13Five to shoot.
00:24:15Merrill.
00:24:15Short roll.
00:24:16Tyson.
00:24:17Floater.
00:24:18Goes down.
00:24:19Over Robinson.
00:24:20You see how high he had to get that over Robinson.
00:24:26Good give and go game there between Merrill and Tyson.
00:24:307-0 Cleveland run.
00:24:32Brunson.
00:24:33Can't put an end to it.
00:24:34His night is just struggling.
00:24:37Four of twelve for Brunson.
00:24:40Schroeder.
00:24:41Drive.
00:24:42Can't finish.
00:24:44Wade can't redirect it.
00:24:46Shot clock off.
00:24:47And New York will likely hold for one.
00:24:54Brunson just four for twelve from the floor.
00:24:58The Knicks as a team shooting 38% overall.
00:25:03Brunson drive.
00:25:04Had it deflected by Wade out of bounds.
00:25:12Brunson.
00:25:13Brunson.
00:25:13Look at this teardrop from Tyson over Robinson my goodness.
00:25:17Brunson.
00:25:20Brunson.
00:25:24Brunson.
00:25:25Brunson.
00:25:26Brunson.
00:25:26Brunson.
00:25:26Brunson.
00:25:27Brunson.
00:25:28Brunson.
00:25:29Brunson.
00:25:29But regardless of what happens here, this will be a season low for any quarter scoring for the Knicks.
00:25:36They currently have just 11 third-quarter points.
00:25:412.9.
00:25:44Mike Brown's trying to get Bridges in as well, but he was too late.
00:25:48In for Hart. Hart with one.
00:25:51Let's have a fly.
00:25:52And it's short.
00:25:53An 11-point third-quarter for New York.
00:25:56Cleveland has opened it up, and the Knicks find themselves in a familiar position, down by 18 as we go
00:26:03to the fourth quarter.
00:26:05You're watching Coast to Coast Tuesday, presented by Kia.
00:26:10It's been the floor spacing for the Cavs that have been on full display this evening.
00:26:16Playing around the world on that position.
00:26:20But look at all the Knicks defenders camping out in the paint.
00:26:23And the Cavs with the right play, the right movement.
00:26:27Two easy threes here.
00:26:30So we thought we were going to see maybe some extended Jordan Clarkson run.
00:26:34But it was in and out.
00:26:36Look at the shooting in that third quarter.
00:26:37The two-point field goals.
00:26:39Two for 12 for New York.
00:26:40Three points.
00:26:41They went one for 12.
00:26:42A combined three for 14 from the floor.
00:26:46The Knicks, excuse me, three for 24.
00:26:49Three for 14 would have actually been a start to group it.
00:26:53That's right.
00:26:54Hart and Anobi Towns, Shaman and Alvarado, the five for New York to start this fourth quarter.
00:26:58They trailed by 18 in the fourth against Houston, came back and won.
00:27:01But that's not the start they were looking for from Shaman.
00:27:06Mobley, Mitchell, Schroeder, Tyson and Ellis for Kenny Atkinson.
00:27:12The spin.
00:27:13Mobley out of control.
00:27:15And they're going to call the foul.
00:27:16Alvarado thought he had it clean.
00:27:20And it's going to be two free throws for Mobley.
00:27:24Well, if you're in the Knicks, you do have a brace that you can fall back on because you've had
00:27:32comebacks, not only against this team, but a couple games ago, you had that big fourth quarter comeback when you
00:27:40were down 18 at home to Houston and found a way to win it.
00:27:45But as Mike Brown says, when Carl Anthony Towns kind of echoed this, it's going to have to start at
00:27:53the defensive end.
00:27:54Let's go to Zorah.
00:27:56Were you just in that huddle?
00:27:58Defensive strategy coverages reads.
00:28:00It was the topic for the entire quarter break.
00:28:02And then what I saw, you talked about it.
00:28:04They've been in this position before.
00:28:05They were composed.
00:28:06Assistant coach Brendan O'Connor saying shots are going to fall.
00:28:09Mike Brown probably said five times, we've got to play fast.
00:28:12We've got to play fast.
00:28:13We've got to play fast.
00:28:14No, Zorah, that's absolutely right.
00:28:16And for VOC's point, the law of averages at some point even out.
00:28:20They've missed their last 12 threes.
00:28:22Shammott goes down.
00:28:22He's holding his knee as he heads back up.
00:28:25Five on four.
00:28:26Mitchell sidestep.
00:28:27Couldn't finish it.
00:28:28Shammott hobbling.
00:28:30Couldn't get to that pass in time.
00:28:31And then Ellis lost it out of bounds.
00:28:34Shammott is hurt.
00:28:35Yes, he is.
00:28:36He is hurt.
00:28:39He doesn't look like he's asking to be taken out.
00:28:42He's telling the...
00:28:43You get the ball boy out there, too,
00:28:45to wipe up the wet spot where he went down.
00:28:48Oof.
00:28:48Oh, yeah.
00:28:49Oof.
00:28:53And then had to battle for that loose ball.
00:28:57And it was Ellis.
00:28:59Just couldn't get two hands on it, but you can see that Shammott is laboring.
00:29:03They're going to keep him out there, though.
00:29:04Just over a minute gone to the fourth.
00:29:08Mixed down by their largest deficit, 19 points.
00:29:12Towns.
00:29:13Series of moves.
00:29:14And Enobie pump and drive.
00:29:17Pouncing for Shammott.
00:29:18Outside Alvarado.
00:29:19His three.
00:29:19His pure.
00:29:20Finally.
00:29:21Would you say lab averages?
00:29:23Yeah.
00:29:24We had to get one to go.
00:29:26And there was so much time left of this ballgame being only down 16.
00:29:31The Knicks are the third-best three-point shooting team in the NBA this year.
00:29:35They had missed 12 straight from the outside.
00:29:39How will Cleveland counter?
00:29:41It's Mobley going right at Towns, who has called for the foul.
00:29:47It'll be just the first on Cat.
00:29:50Wow.
00:29:51Think about that.
00:29:51This is the guy who's second most fouls in the association.
00:29:55Only his first tonight.
00:30:00Well, you can't spell family without FML.
00:30:05Ted is coming back for a new season, and he's about to have a wicked weird senior year.
00:30:09Stream the first season right now, and then catch the new episodes marked fifth.
00:30:13Only on Peacock.
00:30:15Very funny, by the way.
00:30:1810-16 to play.
00:30:21Mobley has struggled at the free throw line.
00:30:23Two for five so far tonight.
00:30:24Still working himself back in his shape.
00:30:2619 minutes played on that minutes restriction as he splits another pair.
00:30:3485-68.
00:30:36Can the Knicks find consistent offense in this fourth quarter?
00:30:39Man, Schroeder does just not stop with that pressure.
00:30:42Doesn't matter who he's guarding.
00:30:45Alvarado gets inside.
00:30:46Back out.
00:30:47Hard shooting practice.
00:30:49Here we go.
00:30:49Here we go now.
00:30:51Back-to-back threes here by the Knicks to start this fourth.
00:30:58Schroeder has come off the bench and played 20 minutes.
00:31:01Trying to bounce it.
00:31:02It was kicked.
00:31:03Kickball.
00:31:06Mobley teams are small, switching everything.
00:31:10You look at Schroeder's numbers off the bench.
00:31:12Three points, but five assists, two steals.
00:31:14And you mentioned just the defensive impact of the pressure that he's bringing.
00:31:18His presence has been felt for all 20 minutes.
00:31:25Tyson, the moon balls way long.
00:31:30Chance to draw a little bit closer for New York.
00:31:33Towns pump, drive, kick, heart.
00:31:36Ellis moves his feet and stays in front.
00:31:38Half the shot clock gone.
00:31:41It's Ananobi on the attack.
00:31:43Spray it out.
00:31:44Schammett was out of bounds.
00:31:46Out of bounds!
00:31:47K!
00:31:47That is turnover number 16 tonight for New York.
00:32:017 of 30 from three, 16 turnovers, 38% overall, just 17 assists.
00:32:07The Cavs' offense, it's not like they've been humming at their top level.
00:32:11But New York has given them ample opportunity.
00:32:13Schroeder can't take advantage this time, but Tyson's right there.
00:32:16Second chance for Mitchell.
00:32:17His three goes down!
00:32:21Hasn't shot the ball great tonight.
00:32:245 of 16.
00:32:26If you give him a wide open look like that from three,
00:32:30you can basically take it to the bank.
00:32:3610 to shoot for Alvarado.
00:32:38It's back to 17 just like that.
00:32:41Oh, great battle down low there.
00:32:43And three seconds is called.
00:32:45It's going to be Tyson.
00:32:47Mitchell was battling Carl Anthony Towns in that mid-post.
00:32:54So Towns will shoot the tee.
00:32:56Harden's going to check in.
00:33:01I like this Cavs team.
00:33:03I like the additions.
00:33:05I like the defensive identity they have brought since the trade.
00:33:10There was something missing.
00:33:12And, again, they led wire-to-wire a year ago.
00:33:15Look at the battle down here by Mitchell versus Towns.
00:33:20Just moving them off the block.
00:33:22That's a 6-4, 6-5 guy against a 6-10.
00:33:27Cavs led wire-to-wire a year ago, 64 wins.
00:33:30It was basically a cakewalk for them to the conference finals.
00:33:35They ran into a red-hot Indiana Pacers team in the second round.
00:33:39Halliburton was unbelievable in that series.
00:33:43And then they got out the gate slow this season.
00:33:47A couple trades, and now they're back on track.
00:33:50Next starting five back on the floor.
00:33:53Towns looking to back down on Tyson.
00:33:56Two to shoot.
00:33:56Towns gets it to go.
00:34:0014.7 boards for Carl Anthony Towns.
00:34:03He is 5-for-5 from the floor.
00:34:08Nearly four minutes gone in this fourth quarter.
00:34:11And the Cavs string together stops.
00:34:14They get the Knicks string together stops.
00:34:16It's Harden in the corner, and he knocks it down.
00:34:18A big three for James Harden right off the bench.
00:34:23Every time the Knicks are knocking someone on the door,
00:34:27Mitchell, Harden, one of the two, just makes a big play.
00:34:31Towns on the cut.
00:34:32Extra pass.
00:34:33It's Bridges on the adjustment.
00:34:34No.
00:34:35Track down by Mitchell.
00:34:37On the run with Ellis.
00:34:38Ellis on the attack.
00:34:39Brunson in front.
00:34:41Tyson the trailer.
00:34:42Mitchell on the outside.
00:34:43No.
00:34:44Rebound.
00:34:45Mobley for the stick back.
00:34:46Timeout, Mike Brown.
00:34:47It's all Cleveland at Rocket Arena.
00:34:50Get it done from the outside.
00:34:53And the inside.
00:34:54And the defense up 19.
00:34:57Verizon.
00:34:57Reg, we talked about this before the game.
00:34:59Brunson and Donovan Mitchell leading their teams.
00:35:02On paper, we thought it was going to be one of those colossal matchups.
00:35:07Both have struggled from the field.
00:35:10Mitchell, 5 of 17, 20 points.
00:35:13Brunson, 4 of 13, and 14 points.
00:35:17Both are very capable.
00:35:19Look at the numbers.
00:35:19My goodness.
00:35:20Look at the plus minus for Brunson.
00:35:24Minus 20.
00:35:26Mitchell, a plus 20.
00:35:28He has had the better supporting cast tonight in Mitchell and the Cavs.
00:35:34Jalen Brunson has one second half point.
00:35:36He's 0 for 6 from the floor since the half.
00:35:43Cleveland has built this back to a 19-point cushion.
00:35:47Bridges on the outside.
00:35:49New York has a team 39% from the floor, 7 of 30 from 3.
00:35:53Brunson fires.
00:35:55Bullseye.
00:35:55He heard you talking about it.
00:35:57Hey, listen.
00:35:57You need a little push.
00:35:58You need a little motivation.
00:35:59Here we go.
00:36:01He does best with a little extra pressure.
00:36:04The reigning Clutch Player of the Year for a reason.
00:36:08Mobley on the cross.
00:36:09And the attack.
00:36:10And the bucket.
00:36:13Boom!
00:36:13They've got Mobley now up to 22 minutes here.
00:36:16Double figures with 12.
00:36:19Strong move there.
00:36:24Brunson.
00:36:25Outside.
00:36:26And a no-beat.
00:36:28And a foul.
00:36:29Loose ball.
00:36:30Staying here.
00:36:31Going to be on Tyson.
00:36:34Clutching Carl Anthony Towns.
00:36:36That's his fourth.
00:36:38His fourth.
00:36:40First team.
00:36:44So Tyson will sit.
00:36:46And Jared Allen will come back in.
00:36:48Another double-double for Jared Allen.
00:36:50His 17th of the season, but his eighth double-double in the last nine games.
00:36:55One of the biggest reasons for the complete change of trajectory
00:36:59after the meddling start for the Cavaliers this year.
00:37:04It's the Harden effect.
00:37:07Brunson draws the contact.
00:37:09And he'll get two free throws with 6.37 to play.
00:37:12So right now, Brunson showing a little life here offensively.
00:37:18A little pump fake here.
00:37:22Not a ton.
00:37:23Ooh.
00:37:24Too late now.
00:37:25That was Jalen Brunson saying,
00:37:27I learned it from you, James.
00:37:31He's got him with his own move.
00:37:34He is.
00:37:35I've never seen this one, Brunson.
00:37:38Missed free throws.
00:37:40It's just been a long night here.
00:37:43For one of the best clutch players in our game.
00:37:51Won the shooting stars competition alongside Carl Anthony Townsend and his dad, Rick, last week.
00:37:56Headed into a dome.
00:37:58And he hits on the second one.
00:38:0018 for Brunson on 14 shot attempts.
00:38:06There's Rick, assistant coach with the New York Knicks.
00:38:09Now a foul is going to be called.
00:38:11Towns was swiping down the ball with Allen.
00:38:13Meanwhile, it was Bridges who was trailing on the play.
00:38:19And will pick it up.
00:38:24Now you've got 6.29 left.
00:38:25Remember, this is a Knicks team that's in the midst of a very challenging stretch.
00:38:29They go to Milwaukee Knicks.
00:38:30The team is playing a lot better than your one home game against Antonio.
00:38:35And that is going the other way.
00:38:39So the Knicks will take over.
00:38:44Three would go a long way for the Knicks on this possession.
00:38:49There's the push-off there by Harden.
00:38:51And Kenny Atkinson's going to challenge it.
00:38:54So with 6.25 left, Kenny Atkinson looking for that knockout punch has called for the review here in Cleveland.
00:39:04Timberwolves taking on the Trailblazers at 10 Eastern, 7 Pacific on Peacock and NBCSN.
00:39:12John Fanta, Jamal Crawford, Grant Lifman on the call.
00:39:16See what should be a fun game.
00:39:19Donovan Klingen and the Blazers continuing to battle.
00:39:22This was a challenge that was successful by Kenny Atkinson.
00:39:25They're going to call the foul instead on Mikkel Bridges, who they said was hooking Harden before his contact.
00:39:31And that's what he was saying.
00:39:32No, that's a hug.
00:39:33It's a hug.
00:39:34Nothing wrong with a little bear hug.
00:39:36Oh, that was more than brotherly love.
00:39:40So Cleveland keeps possession nearly midway through the fourth, looking for that final nail in the coffin.
00:39:46Off the screen, bounce, Allen, extra, Ellis climbs the ladder.
00:39:50It is such a plus when your bigs can pass the ball in tight spaces.
00:39:57Both Mobley and Allen are so efficient at doing that.
00:40:07Towns will back him down on the other end.
00:40:09That was a hook and an offensive foul.
00:40:11The leader in the NBA in offensive fouls in Karl-Anthony Towns.
00:40:16That was such an easy call.
00:40:18Look at this.
00:40:19This is right in front of the official.
00:40:21Here, let me just hook you here with my left.
00:40:23Hold on a second.
00:40:25Let me keep the dribble alive.
00:40:26Let me keep it alive there.
00:40:28That was so easy.
00:40:31Capitalist substitution, number 20, Shilom Tyson.
00:40:34So, Mitchell Robinson will check in for Towns.
00:40:37Meanwhile, Tyson will do the same for Wade.
00:40:42Harden with 20 points, two rebounds, four assists in 29 minutes.
00:40:49Screen from Allen.
00:40:51Harden, bounce, Allen, a foul is called.
00:40:59It's just an immediate chemistry it feels like James Harden has with every big that he plays with.
00:41:05We showed the numbers.
00:41:06Didn't even show Clint Capella, but his field goal percentage was certainly up with Harden as well.
00:41:12And when Evita, Zubats, and Harden play together in L.A., Evita talked about right when James got there,
00:41:18it was, hey, Zubats, we're staying after practice.
00:41:22We're working on the passes, the pocket passes, the angles, the different ways we can get you the basketball
00:41:26and put you in the most comfortable positions.
00:41:29And you talk about this industry.
00:41:31Look at that.
00:41:32Understanding where all his teammates are at all times.
00:41:35And again, there hasn't been a lot of practice time with Harden and his new teammates.
00:41:40But that just goes to show you his basketball IQ is so high, he can fit into any system.
00:41:47And we said that to Kenny Atkinson, that, hey, everybody who talks about him in his previous stop,
00:41:52they say his basketball IQ is astronomical.
00:41:54And Kenny just goes, yeah, confirmed.
00:41:56That's definitely confirmed.
00:41:57You said that with him on the team, he feels like they're a more mature ball club overall.
00:42:04Robinson couldn't claim that offensive rebound initially.
00:42:06It was ricocheted out of bounds.
00:42:08He's got a chance.
00:42:12Largest lead of the evening right now for the Cavs.
00:42:20Stays with New York.
00:42:21Brunson will get it in for Ananobi.
00:42:23Kenny Atkinson loves the composure that Harden brings to them.
00:42:26And even the defensive intensity that he brings, he feels like everybody else follows suit.
00:42:31That one's going to be a little too much intensity.
00:42:33And a foul called on the swipe by the beard.
00:42:35Harden is third, team's third.
00:42:40So the third team foul in a 20-point Cleveland lead.
00:42:49This team is hitting its stride at the right moment.
00:42:52You brought up a red-hot Indiana team from last year.
00:42:55You think about how they started the season.
00:42:57And right around January, that's where things started cooking in the right direction.
00:43:01They called the foul initially there before Robinson got to that basketball.
00:43:04It feels like the timeline's fairly similar here.
00:43:07Maybe a little bit later, but fairly similar with what Cleveland's starting to do.
00:43:13Well, they're going to challenge this again.
00:43:20You can see, if you can read lips, you know that Kenny Atkinson was adamant with that challenge.
00:43:25He's already had a couple of all-time great moments looking at officials and twirling the finger.
00:43:30Add another one to the collection for Kenny.
00:43:35Another challenge for Kenny Atkinson after winning just a few moments ago on his first challenge of the night.
00:43:41We're still taking a look at it.
00:43:42John Goldwell, Mitchell Irvin, Suyach, Mehta, the Maryland product.
00:43:47The foul was on Ellis.
00:43:50Take another look here.
00:43:51Does Ellis get the arm of Jalen Brunson?
00:43:57See, from that angle, it looks like it's a clean swipe.
00:44:05Oh, that's all ball on that side.
00:44:07So he did make contact with the ball.
00:44:12Was there any part of the body afterwards?
00:44:17Kenny Atkinson on the season, 32-16, 48 challenges.
00:44:23That was a great look right there.
00:44:25That's what they're seeing from Secaucus, New Jersey.
00:44:29And Kenny could be going 2-0 on the day.
00:44:32Oh, he should be.
00:44:33Man, that's a great look.
00:44:35That's all ball.
00:44:36And no body.
00:44:41And the eye in the sky will.
00:44:44The eye in the sky does not lie?
00:44:45They do not lie.
00:44:47That's what I like to hear.
00:44:50Kenny was adamant with the challenge.
00:44:53He's saying, it's all ball.
00:44:55Yeah.
00:44:57Keyon Ellis.
00:44:59It was awesome talking to Mike Brown about Keyon.
00:45:01He was in Sacramento as his head coach when he first came into the NBA and built his career.
00:45:07And when we asked, you know, when did you know, how did you know he was going to be an
00:45:11NBA player,
00:45:11he said, well, there's a two-game miniseries in Houston.
00:45:14He had spent most of his rookie year initially with the G League team.
00:45:17And they're in Houston.
00:45:18The first game, they're getting blown out.
00:45:20And so he throws them out there for the final 60 seconds of the game.
00:45:23The game is already decided.
00:45:24And he said, man, this guy's handling this like a pro.
00:45:27He's going out there.
00:45:28He's playing the right way.
00:45:29So the next day, he threw them out there again.
00:45:31And after a while, he goes, well, he can make threes.
00:45:34And he plays defense at a higher clip than anyone we have.
00:45:37We've got to find minutes for this guy.
00:45:39And he built himself into a standard player from there, re-signed on a new contract.
00:45:43Here he is now on a contending team in Cleveland.
00:45:45So for all you young players out there who think that garbage time doesn't mean anything,
00:45:50it's a time for you to make an impression to your head coach and coaching staff and your players.
00:45:58Minutes mean exactly that.
00:46:00Earn your minutes.
00:46:01And that's exactly what Keon Ellis has done throughout his whole career.
00:46:09After review, there was no illegal contact to Ellis on guards and shots.
00:46:13At the time of the whistle, Rito Robinson had the ball and was the active shooting on the successful basket.
00:46:19Therefore, the challenge is successful, but the result of the play is a made basket by New York.
00:46:23It will be Cleveland basketball on the baseline.
00:46:25Now that's interesting.
00:46:27What?
00:46:27So that is interesting because I guess by the lay of the land, by the rule, it is imminent possession.
00:46:34And they're saying the imminent possession was all in the same motion on the shot by Robinson here.
00:46:39However, you can make the argument that...
00:46:41Let me see if he came back down.
00:46:43No, okay, so...
00:46:44He got fouled as well, more than anything.
00:46:47They're not going to call it an and-one, but they will call it a made basket.
00:46:50Okay, well, here's my next question.
00:46:52Could they have called that an and-one?
00:46:53Is that possible of a review?
00:46:56Technically, yes.
00:46:57In the newer rules, you can now retroactively go back and call fouls that weren't called on the floor.
00:47:01That would have been balling.
00:47:02You know what?
00:47:03Brunson wasn't fouled, but...
00:47:06The Knicks would have to challenge you.
00:47:08Yes.
00:47:08Robinson was fouled, and it's an and-one.
00:47:15That's fascinating.
00:47:17All that to say, it was a successful challenge so Kenny could bolster his record.
00:47:22However, it didn't really make that much of a difference to actually hurt them on the scoreboard.
00:47:27You don't see that very often.
00:47:28Under five to play here in Cleveland.
00:47:31Cavaliers looking to put the finishing touches on one that's been an impressive performance.
00:47:34That one short from Tyson.
00:47:36Bridges keeps the head out.
00:47:38Finds Brunson.
00:47:40Alvarado thought about it.
00:47:42Now it's Brunson full head of steam.
00:47:44Gets inside.
00:47:45Bounce it.
00:47:46Somehow it ends with Ananobi.
00:47:48Bridges catch and shoot for three.
00:47:569-33 from three for the Knicks.
00:48:01We've got a whistle here.
00:48:03It looks like there might be an issue with the score.
00:48:05I'm not sure if they counted one of the Knicks baskets.
00:48:08Right now, it says in the building 98-81, and I think they're going to correct this to 98-83.
00:48:16It was the Mitchell Robinson bucket during that last review.
00:48:19They didn't put it up initially on the scoreboard, so that's what the officials are stopping for.
00:48:23They were just as confused as you and I were over here.
00:48:25No doubt.
00:48:26Now, remember, this is why they're wearing those new headset technologies, or had been at least for a while.
00:48:35They were getting the direct communication from the replay center instead of having to confer all the time
00:48:41and just expedite some of that process.
00:48:44So, nice job by the crew.
00:48:46Now, Harden over to Ellis on the attack.
00:48:50Ellis had it stripped.
00:48:52Ends up with Tyson.
00:48:53He is fouled and puts it forward.
00:48:55Jalen Tyson with a chance for three.
00:48:58Tyson in double figures now off the bench.
00:49:12Jalen Tyson, the contact and the potential N-1.
00:49:16With the line for your Cavaliers, with the N-1, Jalen Tyson.
00:49:2238th game this year in double figures for Jalen Tyson.
00:49:26He had four all of his rookie season.
00:49:30Let's, you know, someone's been doing some lab work during the summer.
00:49:36Highly improved and a major factor on a legitimate Cleveland team.
00:49:43Confidence, too.
00:49:44Big time.
00:49:47Brunson off the screen from Robinson.
00:49:49Six to shoot.
00:49:50Hesitation.
00:49:50Into the paint.
00:49:51Good seal.
00:49:52Robinson cleared the space.
00:49:54Came to the rebound.
00:49:55Now it's outside for Ananobi.
00:49:59Off the heel.
00:50:01And ripped down by Tyson.
00:50:04Well, Cleveland came into this one having won 12 of their last 14.
00:50:08They had won seven in a row before the loss at Oklahoma City on Sunday.
00:50:13You look at the shooting by the different halves.
00:50:16New York has gone ice cold in this second half.
00:50:20It's Mitchell.
00:50:22Another board goes to Robinson.
00:50:24That's his 15th rebound off the bench.
00:50:27Brunson banks it home.
00:50:30You know, it hasn't been a great shooting night for the Cavs either.
00:50:33But their defense has been spectacular tonight.
00:50:38Versus the Knicks.
00:50:40Only 83 points.
00:50:43There's a little under three left here for New York.
00:50:46Double cross.
00:50:47It's Mitchell through the contact and comes up just short.
00:50:50Two more free throws with 2.54 left to play.
00:50:56So you think about these two teams actually both heading on the road after this.
00:51:01But for the Knicks, you mentioned the stretch that they're going through.
00:51:04They go to Milwaukee.
00:51:05Then they have a lone home game against San Antonio.
00:51:08Then to Toronto.
00:51:09Back for one home game against Oklahoma City.
00:51:11So you're two home games in this stretch of nine games out of 11 on the road
00:51:15are San Antonio and Oklahoma City.
00:51:18Then you go to Denver and to L.A.
00:51:21You've got a full West Coast swing.
00:51:24That is a challenging stretch for the New York Knicks.
00:51:30And as they continue to battle.
00:51:32That's why seeding as we seed the game following us.
00:51:36Anthony Edwards and Minnesota and the Portland Trail Blazers.
00:51:42That's why right now Boston is surging in the east.
00:51:46Along with these Cavs.
00:51:49That's going to be a foul on Brunson as Mitchell trekked down the rebound.
00:51:56So Cleveland in the bonus.
00:51:57Mitchell will have a chance to add two more to his tally.
00:52:00He's got 21 on the night.
00:52:02Let's see how much longer Mike Brown and Kenny Atkinson will leave their regulars out on the floor for.
00:52:07It looks like Kenny is going to gradually start to bring some of those deeper rotation guys up.
00:52:16A lot of credit to Kenny Atkinson.
00:52:18How he's handled this season.
00:52:21He was pretty honest with us before the game.
00:52:23It was hard to try to stay positive with the way that the season went and the expectations coming in.
00:52:30They were fully in it.
00:52:32As he calls the dips of the season.
00:52:34And he felt like this year the dips were maybe even greater than in years past.
00:52:38As we see a full platoon swap coming in for Cleveland.
00:52:43Bryant, Proctor, Porter, Tomlin, and eventually Brown.
00:52:52After this second free throw for Mitchell.
00:52:54Tyler Kolick up off the New York bench.
00:52:58Along with Dylan Jones, Sohan.
00:53:03And it's Ariel Huckporty as well as Diawara.
00:53:08What Kenny Atkinson said, he really relied on Donovan Mitchell through all of that.
00:53:13And he was so thankful for his maturity, his leadership style.
00:53:18There were a couple times Donovan came to him.
00:53:20He's like, I'm exhausted, man.
00:53:21This is tough.
00:53:22I'm doing everything I can.
00:53:23But they kind of helped each other, just reminded each other, stay the course.
00:53:27We will get there.
00:53:29And now, as he said it, now they're in the sunshine.
00:53:31It feels like the sun is shining down on this team right now.
00:53:34And life should be easier going forward now that you've added a Harden, a Schroeder.
00:53:41There's the foul taken here to bring in Brown for Mitchell.
00:53:44And a lose of the Tuesday, number 30, Darius Brown.
00:53:49He's checking in for Donovan Mitchell.
00:54:01So, Darius Brown.
00:54:05It was a take foul to get Mitchell out of the game.
00:54:09The Knicks thought they would be shooting as a result.
00:54:12Instead, they are not.
00:54:14They're not going to be awarded that traditional take foul type free throw.
00:54:24Shout out to Darius Brown, the rookie, in there for the first time.
00:54:29Now, what's going to go down?
00:54:32A rookie out of Utah State who got a round.
00:54:36How State Northridge, then Montana State, finished that Utah State.
00:54:40Giving his chance now after going undrafted.
00:54:43Proctor outside for Bryant.
00:54:45Knocks down a triple.
00:54:47A lot of that in Indiana a year ago.
00:54:50On their magical run.
00:54:52Off the bench for Rick Harlow.
00:54:56Two minutes to play.
00:54:59Kolek, who recently had his stint with the G League team in Westchester, continuing to develop his game.
00:55:07Out of Marquette, Diawara finally finds the bottom.
00:55:12Well, we just talked about it with Keyon Ellis.
00:55:13These are big minutes for all of these guys to continue to prove, whether it's to the team they're currently
00:55:17playing on,
00:55:18or any team that's watching, the type of player that you are, the type of professional that you are on
00:55:23a daily basis.
00:55:25Tyrese Proctor really turned heads during training camp.
00:55:29And Bryant comes up short and Jones claims that one.
00:55:32Jones, who has an NBA ring championship ring last year from Oklahoma City.
00:55:37Kolek will pull.
00:55:39And a long rebound of Jones.
00:55:41Regan Brown in the open court.
00:55:47Well, the Knicks are going to fall to 37 and 22.
00:55:49Cleveland will improve to 37 and 22.
00:55:52Keeping pace in that tight Eastern Conference race.
00:55:55Jones is going to be called for the foul on Bryant inside.
00:55:58And you think about now how things stack up in the Eastern Conference.
00:56:02Boston is trying to chase down Detroit, who's clearly and firmly in that number one spot.
00:56:08We've seen the three matchups against New York.
00:56:10Detroit has dominated in each of them.
00:56:14Now, New York took the first two against Cleveland, but this new-look Cavs team gave them fits here tonight.
00:56:20Boston, the real question mark now with Jason Tatum potentially coming back the rest of the season.
00:56:24If you like those four teams have separated themselves, you've got Philly.
00:56:29That's still a wild card in there as well.
00:56:30Well, there's one more team.
00:56:31Okay.
00:56:32You've got to be careful about Toronto Raptors.
00:56:34You like Toronto.
00:56:35I like Toronto just because of how they approach the game defensively.
00:56:40Scotty Barnes is one of those guys that can dictate a game solely at the defensive end.
00:56:47And if Ingram, he's a shot maker, he's a scorer, Emmanuel quickly.
00:56:54I would—that's a team that will be a tough seven game out.
00:57:00They're currently sitting in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
00:57:04Came into this one two-and-a-half back of Cleveland.
00:57:07Brown too strong.
00:57:08Long rebound.
00:57:09Track down.
00:57:10It's Porter.
00:57:1226 seconds remain here in the land.
00:57:15After the Knicks led 2-0, this was—oh, absolutely.
00:57:20Oh, Tomlin trying to give us one final highlight.
00:57:26Jones, likely the final possession for New York, is a Kolek bucket.
00:57:31With 8.8 seconds remaining, they get it in for Brown.
00:57:35Kolek tried to go Grand Theft Alvarado.
00:57:37And Porter will take it across.
00:57:41Dominant effort as the Cleveland Cavaliers nearly lead this one wire-to-wire.
00:57:49109-94 the final.
00:57:52It was all Cavs in Cleveland.
00:57:5823 from Donovan Mitchell, 20 from James Harden.
00:58:01Another double-double, 19-10 for Jared Allen.
00:58:0412 from only, 11 for Dean Wade, and 12 off the bench for Jalen Tyson.
00:58:08Six in double figures.
00:58:10The Knicks just struggled shooting the basketball.
00:58:1241% overall, 27% from three.
00:58:16And Cleveland, with just the one loss on Sunday to Oklahoma City,
00:58:21is now 6-1 with James Harden in the lineup.
00:58:25Noah, I like what is building here in Cleveland.
00:58:28The ball has moved.
00:58:29We saw a lot of that floor spacing between Mitchell and Harden
00:58:34getting into the pain-finding shooters.
00:58:36This team is building towards the playoffs.
00:58:39They feel like they've got some of that presence now as we check in with Zora.
00:58:43James, I know you haven't played the Knicks as a Cavalier yet this season,
00:58:47but it's the team's first win against them so far this season.
00:58:50What got it done tonight?
00:58:52I mean, every game is about us, honestly.
00:58:56Finding ways to get better, find what works and what doesn't work.
00:58:58So, tonight was just no different.
00:59:00You know, we're working to build something special,
00:59:02and each game is like an opportunity to get better.
00:59:06So, tonight was a good step for us.
00:59:07You talk about getting better.
00:59:09It seems like you already know where the guys are at,
00:59:11finding them in spots to be successful.
00:59:13Where are you at in the acclimation process?
00:59:15I'm still getting better.
00:59:16I'm still learning.
00:59:16I mean, I've been in this league for a long time well enough to know what guys like to do
00:59:20in Tennessee's,
00:59:21but just being in the atmosphere, being in the environment is a little bit different.
00:59:25But, you know, for me, it's just score the basketball play, make, and try to be a good leader.
00:59:30And that's all I can do.
00:59:31You told me earlier today that you and Donovan don't even have to talk about when it's his turn,
00:59:35when it's your turn.
00:59:36What's it like playing with a guy when it comes so naturally like that?
00:59:39He's very, very unselfish, very, very unselfish, but he's so confident,
00:59:42and, you know, he can get here at any moment.
00:59:44So, tonight was a team effort, and it's been like that since I've been here.
00:59:48You know what I mean?
00:59:48And that's one of the beauties about this team.
00:59:51Any guy can get it going.
00:59:52So, good win for us, and we've got another one tomorrow.
00:59:54Appreciate the time.
00:59:55Thank you.
00:59:57James Harden continues to.
