00:08Here's Pajemski, 5 on the clock, and he gets it to go.
00:15Reeves with the ball.
00:22Oh, Green with the block!
00:24This is the high impact D we expect from Green,
00:27an intelligent defender who can find these blocks.
00:31On the wing, Curry.
00:37Outside Pajemski.
00:45Pulls up, high post.
00:47Misses off the right iron.
00:49And the defense was right on him there.
00:52Nice contest.
00:53Staying healthy isn't easy in the NBA, Richard.
00:56Just look at Rui Achimura.
00:58Yeah, it's unfortunate that Rui has always been pestered by that injury,
01:02but coming into this season, he's never hit 70 games.
01:06Just shows you how tough it is to stay healthy in this league.
01:10But Jemski's shot is good.
01:12Knew exactly where his teammate would be.
01:15That's a product of good chemistry.
01:19James, outside.
01:24Back to Doncic.
01:27Outside Reeves.
01:32Achimura in the post.
01:33Butler covering.
01:35Ooh, good work defensively by Butler.
01:37Here's Pajemski.
01:38Plenty of room to knock down that one.
01:41Pajemski's got six points.
01:43For Los Angeles, they've gone one of five to start things off.
01:49Reeves finds Aiden.
01:54And here's Doncic.
01:58Oh, and there's the whistle on the shot.
02:01So two free throws for him coming.
02:03It's on Stephen Curry.
02:05And this team's offensive catalyst,
02:08Doncic puts pressure on the defense every possession.
02:11First trip to the free throw line for him in this one.
02:13It's two shots.
02:22Shooting two.
02:33No good on the free throw.
02:36And Doncic is a walking triple-double threat.
02:38His versatility and confidence is really special.
02:56He does not get the second one.
02:59Well, one of the many things that's impressive about Luka Doncic,
03:02he double clutches so well.
03:04Right, and even absorbs contact in the air.
03:07And somehow, some way, still has a very high field goal percentage.
03:11Luka, his game defies logic.
03:14Maybe Luka's logic.
03:15So it's the Lakers now.
03:16Following the score by Golden State.
03:18And Aiden with the stuff.
03:20I like how Aiden makes himself a big target on these alley-oops.
03:24Just a quality finish.
03:26Curry passes to Green.
03:30Outside, Pajemski.
03:33Here's Curry.
03:34Good on the shot.
03:36Just taking it right to the rim.
03:37And no one was there to greet him.
03:39Easy possessions like that literally are just a gift.
03:42You just dream of them.
03:44You'll gladly take those.
03:47The shot by Reeves.
03:48No good.
03:49That's going up against a defense that knows your tendencies.
03:53Muttler can't get it to go.
03:55He did everything in his power to make that a hard shot.
03:59Excellent D.
04:00Avoided fouling and got in perfect position to alter that shot.
04:04And here's Doncic outside.
04:06Warriors with the rebound.
04:08And let's swing it over to the sideline and hear from Allie.
04:11Well, I was able to speak with the Lakers head coach.
04:13We talked about the challenge of facing off with Steph Curry, the three-point king.
04:18Coach said, it's not just the threes that are concerned with Steph.
04:21It's how well he passes the ball.
04:23He's one of the best point guards ever.
04:25And Curry will get everyone else involved.
04:27Back to you, Brian.
04:28And Allie, thanks.
04:32And once again, off the mark by Los Angeles.
04:35The Warriors lead by six.
04:37And he gets the bucket.
04:39And you're asking for trouble when you give Curry this positioning.
04:42He's so efficient down there.
04:45Now a timeout called by the Lakers.
04:47Richard, tough as nails.
04:49Jimmy Butler always takes the fight head off.
04:52And lifts his team when it matters most.
04:54And look, he's not for everybody, but look, if it's about winning, he's exactly who you want on your side.
05:17And it's a completely new group for the Lakers.
05:20And the Warriors will go with a different look here.
05:22Post's checked in for Green.
05:24Jackson Davis comes in for Jimmy Butler.
05:26Jonathan Kaminga, he's checked in for Moody.
05:28And it's Buddy Heald in for Pajemski.
05:31Now here's Smart.
05:33Kleba outside from deep.
05:36Jackson Davis grabs a miss.
05:38That was a good possession.
05:39They got a clean look.
05:40The shot just didn't fall.
05:42Heald.
05:43Played it in with a nice touch off the window.
05:45They played with fantastic energy from the opening tip.
05:49Yeah, they're in control on both ends of the court.
05:52And it's always impressive when you build a double-digit lead in the first quarter.
05:56Now here's Vincent.
05:59To the middle.
06:00Kicks it out to Smart.
06:07To win the cold spell.
06:09And it's good on the layup.
06:11And this is how you run pick and roll.
06:14Marcus Smart running pick and roll to perfection.
06:20Curry passes to Kaminga.
06:28Back to Curry.
06:34He drains it as the shot clock ticks down.
06:38Curry's got six.
06:39They've shown so much energy right from the start.
06:42Particularly on the offensive end.
06:44They came out swinging.
06:46Really setting the tone on offense.
06:47And the opposition has not been able to respond.
06:51And he takes that one up and powers it through.
06:54Now that's how you use the screen right there.
06:57And it leads to a thunderous finish.
06:59That was nice.
07:00When the proof of the error, you like to pick and set up the open shot.
07:03When it leads to a dunk, okay, even better.
07:06He'll take it.
07:06The lawyer.
07:06And that does it for the first quarter.
07:08Warriors ahead, up by eight.
07:11And we'll be back in just a minute with the start of the second quarter.
07:21Hope you've enjoyed the broadcast so far.
07:23Halfway through the first half in this one.
07:26And guys, let's get your take on the scoring breakdown for the Warriors.
07:29The story so far has been their mid-range shooting.
07:33The analytics might not like it, but elite offenses still knock it down from that area.
07:38And I just love playing on teams like this.
07:41Passing teams.
07:42You can tell they really like playing with each other.
07:44And hopefully they keep this up.
07:47LeBron plays the three with Vanderbilt at the four.
07:50Luka Doncic is out there with Konek.
07:51And it's Kleba in at the five.
07:54That's the Laker five.
07:55Pass to Jackson Davis.
08:02Yep.
08:02Count it.
08:03Jackson Davis has got his first basket.
08:05When they get their opportunity to punch it inside, they don't hesitate.
08:09All right.
08:10On the line, we've got our insider, Shams Charania.
08:13What do you have for us, Shams?
08:14Well, we saw a transformation with Luka over the summer as he committed himself to getting
08:19in the best shape of his life.
08:20And a much leaner Luka started showing up in late July, shortly after he recruited Marcus
08:26Smart to the Lakers.
08:27No doubt about it, guys.
08:29Luka has something to prove this season in a big way.
08:33Making the commitment.
08:34All right, Shams.
08:35Appreciate the report.
08:36Here's Santos.
08:41Here's Jackson Davis over Vanderbilt.
08:45No good.
08:46A bit long that time.
08:47I guess we've got the defense for that one going wide.
08:51They did everything they could to influence the shot.
08:53And it's blocked.
08:57Here's Santos.
08:59He's scoreless.
09:00Up top, Jackson Davis.
09:03And that one's good.
09:05That makes him two for three.
09:06And trust me, when the Ds slow to react, he'll be the first.
09:09He'll be the first guy to make them pay.
09:11Yeah, they're going to do a much better job of putting a little bit of pressure on him on his
09:14way to the hoop.
09:16And Vanderbilt slams it in.
09:19Gifted moving the ball.
09:20Luka is one of the best passers in the league.
09:23All right, let's get a report from Allie.
09:24Fabian, the Warriors are trying to maximize what Steph Curry has left.
09:28Coach Kerr said, quote, what we're watching with Steph is one of the greatest artists of all time in his
09:34twilight.
09:34What can we do to give him the best chance to perform to make the game easier for him?
09:39That's where we are.
09:40B.A.?
09:41Looking to stay in the mix.
09:42Allie, thank you.
09:44Well, Grant, as more and more teams look to get up and down, you think that lends itself to going
09:48deeper down the roster?
09:49Oh, definitely B.A.
09:51Also, with the G League and bigger coaching staffs enabling end-of-the-bench guys to get more reps,
09:57it helps them stay ready when their number is called.
10:12Achimura's checked in for Los Angeles.
10:14Reeves comes in for Vanderbilt.
10:15And a new group getting ready for the Warriors.
10:17Traymond Green, he's checked in for Post.
10:20Butler comes in for Jackson Davis.
10:22Moody's checked in for Santos.
10:24And Pajemski subbed in for Stephen Curry.
10:27Now here's Hill.
10:29Down low.
10:33Right side, Pajemski.
10:35From downtown.
10:37It's rebounded by Los Angeles.
10:39And that's exactly how tightly you have to guard him every time he steps to the arc.
10:44He's just that good.
10:49Here's Donchich.
10:51Off the mark.
10:52Had a chance there to trim it to single digits.
10:56Pass to Moody.
11:00Over James.
11:01And it's off the back of the rim.
11:03No good.
11:04Wow, that's rock-solid defense on a really good score.
11:07Trying to find a spark here.
11:10Yes, indeed.
11:10A rough stretch offensively.
11:12They could really use a basket.
11:13And down it goes.
11:15Two points.
11:16Look, the moment he gets it anywhere near the hoop, look, it is over.
11:20Just too much strength, too much touch.
11:23Either hand growth.
11:24Well, when you think about all the miles Jimmy Butler has on his legs now, how many more does
11:29he have left, Greer?
11:30Well, he's been shouldering the load for a long time.
11:33And what separates him from the pack is his sheer will and his IQ.
11:38So, he might just surprise us a little.
11:53And he can't get the first one.
11:55And Grant, Stephen Curry, said his goal was to play meaningful basketball games.
11:59With the arrival of Jimmy Butler, that proved to be the case.
12:02Yeah, the Warriors have been looking to get Steph some help.
12:05The fit with Jimmy was questioned, but it's worked out better than most people expected.
12:10And the Lakers making a change here.
12:12Aiton's checked in.
12:14Good on the second one.
12:17And about three minutes played now in the second quarter.
12:23Now here's Doncic.
12:25He's guarded closely.
12:30Aiton against Green.
12:32And good from the Andre Aiton sweet move.
12:36Aiton's got six.
12:37That is a strong move by Aiton.
12:40He is merciless in there.
12:45Achimura against Butler.
12:47Butler goes at the rim.
12:50Oh, rejected by Aiton.
12:55Outside Reeves.
13:0013 feet out.
13:01And the rebound goes to the Warriors.
13:06Pass to Pajemski.
13:11Green against Reeves.
13:14Oh, look at Draymond.
13:16Flexing with that finish.
13:18That's just bully ball.
13:20Green knows where he wants to go, and no one can do anything about it.
13:23Back to Doncic.
13:26And here's Konek outside.
13:28Gets the three ball to go.
13:30Konek's got himself going here.
13:32His first point to the game on the deep ball.
13:38Pajemski with it.
13:39Working on Achimura.
13:51Pajemski.
13:51Pajemski grabs the board.
13:53Pajemski's got his fourth rebound in this one.
13:56Knocks it loose.
13:59And it's out of bounds.
14:01They say it was last touched by Achimura.
14:04Some changes now for the Lakers.
14:06Arabia's checked in for Konek.
14:08Smart comes in for Reeves.
14:09And Vincent is subbed in for Doncic.
14:12The Warriors also with a sub.
14:14Jonathan Kaminga.
14:15He's checked in for Heald.
14:16The Warriors lead by eight.
14:20Butler passes to Green.
14:22Clock at six.
14:24Outside Pajemski.
14:29And again, no good by Golden State.
14:32See that miss.
14:33That miss right there.
14:34It's why teams try to avoid the mid-range jumper these days.
14:40Pass to Aiden.
14:46It's rebounded by Golden State.
14:49Pajemski's got five rebounds in the game.
14:55And we've got 28 seconds left to play in the second quarter.
14:59Los Angeles now.
15:01DeAndre Aiton.
15:04First personal foul.
15:06Second team foul.
15:09Shooting for Golden State.
15:11Pajemski.
15:12At the line for two.
15:23Two.
15:25Two.
15:26Two.
15:33That free throw, no good.
15:35Some changes for Los Angeles.
15:37Kliba comes in for Aiden.
15:38And it's Jared Vanderbilt in for Achimura.
15:41And the Warriors making a change here.
15:57He hits the second from the line.
16:01One second separating the shot clock and the game clock.
16:07Now here's Smart.
16:21And again, the Lakers, no good.
16:25And so it's the Golden State Warriors with a nine-point cushion at the end of the quarter.
16:31Defense is setting the tone.
16:33We'll be right back with you shortly.
16:35Twenty-six.
16:39And now, the 2K Sports Halftime Show.
16:43Welcome back to 2K Sports, everybody.
16:45Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny the Chet Smith.
16:48Let's talk about that first half.
16:51Golden State had no problems getting going.
16:55Their mission to dominate early was accomplished with a spirited 14-4 run to start.
17:00When the clock ran out in the first quarter, they were up by eight.
17:04Then, in a hard-fought second quarter, they more than held their own, increasing their advantage
17:09to finish up nine at the break.
17:12Hit it, fella.
17:13What's your take on Golden State so far?
17:14They've really established themselves in the glass.
17:17The endowment there has been extra possessions, which they've cashed in on.
17:20We just got to, you know, bring the same energy to the second half.
17:24And over to Kenny, your takeaway on the Lakers.
17:27The energy on D stood for disappointment.
17:31They were slow to rotate.
17:32Communication was bad.
17:34No effort.
17:35I mean, the intensity on that end of the floor, where it needs to be, was just not there.
17:42And that's going to do it for our halftime show, sadly.
17:46Third quarter about to start.
17:49See you again after the final.
17:51Horn.
17:53Oh, buzzer.
18:07And we played through the first half.
18:09Plenty of basketball left in this one.
18:11You got to like what we're seeing from Brandon Pajemski.
18:14You just love his patience offensively in the first half.
18:17Waited until he got the looks he wanted.
18:20You love guys who can get their shots within the flow of the offense.
18:26Well, for those just tuning in, thanks for being with us.
18:29Second half of this game still to play.
18:31Kick it off the second half.
18:33Here's Steve Kerr's five.
18:35Curry and Pods pairing up in the backcourt.
18:37Down low, it'll be the tenacious pair of Butler and Draymond.
18:40And it's Moody and it's Malfoy.
18:42Not the best pick I've seen, but like, hey, he got the job done and that's all that matters.
18:51Lakers trail by 11.
18:53And Richard, coach J.J. Redick coming under criticism for how he handled substitution patterns in last year's playoffs.
19:00He did an amazing job in guiding them to the third seed.
19:03And look, they just ran out of gas against a better Minnesota team.
19:08Players wish they had shots back and so do coaches sometimes.
19:12Here's Butler following the score by Los Angeles.
19:16Back to Curry.
19:22Doncic pulls down the board.
19:24And so it's Doncic with it.
19:26He brings it up for the Los Angeles Lakers.
19:28Oh, wasted no time on that one.
19:31Doncic has got four points now in the quarter.
19:33Using that change of pace off the dribble, Doncic gets the shots he wants.
19:40Here's Curry.
19:41And no good.
19:43Oh, great D that time from Doncic.
19:45It's time now to hear from our reporter, Allie LaForce.
19:48LeBron wants his respect.
19:50He said the work that goes into still playing at this level has to be respected.
19:54They say, would you rather be loved or respected?
19:57For me, it's always about respect.
19:59People can lie and say they love you.
20:01You can always gauge when someone is not respecting you.
20:05Brian, back to you.
20:06He's earned it.
20:07Allie, thank you.
20:08The game of green.
20:09It's about testing the defense and finding their weak spots.
20:13These are his first free throws of the game.
20:16Two shots.
20:26Take a break.
20:27Take a break.
20:28Two shots.
20:40The first free throw is good.
20:42A vocal leader both on and off the floor.
20:45Green plays with a real fire in edge.
21:05No good on the second.
21:06So he hits one of two.
21:07You know, Richard, the Warriors have the third most championships after the Lakers and Celtics.
21:13Yeah, two of those came as the Philadelphia Warriors, though, including the first NBA championship pack at 47.
21:19And then they had the one with Rick Barry in 75.
21:22But most people know about their rings from the last decade or so in this dynasty.
21:28Now, here's Donchik.
21:29And he was fouled while in the act of shooting.
21:32So he'll take two free throws.
21:34And one guy you can neither speed up nor slow down.
21:38That's Luka Doncic, Grant.
21:39Yeah, B.A.
21:40He completely dictates the pace from the opening tip till the final buzzer.
21:46He can control the game.
21:56Two shots.
21:58That's in the first.
22:08That's good from Doncic.
22:10Richard, it's hard to believe, but this is already LeBron's eighth season with the Lakers.
22:14Yeah, surpassing his first seven seasons with the Cavs.
22:18And look, this is his longest consecutive streak with one team.
22:21And he's got a championship to show for it.
22:23Heels checked in for the Warriors.
22:34Donchik hits them both.
22:35And last season, the Warriors had their most success playing a small ball lineup, Grant.
22:40But they no longer held their own on the backboards in defending the paint.
22:44But you knew they'd look to add some size this summer.
22:48Timeout called.
22:49The Warriors.
22:50Well, Grant, the Lakers captured the three seed last season.
22:53But only the eighth best point differential in the West.
22:56What does that tell you?
22:56It tells me that they overachieved in the regular season.
22:59But a team this star-studded has postseason aspirations as well.
23:04That's where they'll look to improve.
23:06What does that tell you?
23:07What does that tell you?
23:21What does that tell you?
23:23What does that tell you?
23:25What does that tell you?
23:25What does that tell you?
23:25What does that tell you?
23:27What does that tell you?
23:27What does that tell you?
23:33What does that tell you?
23:37and we're just about two minutes into the final half of play now
23:40yield passes to Moody
23:44here's Curry
23:50outside Butler
23:51three-pointer
23:52that drops
23:53and it comes off an assist from Curry
23:56Curry's got three assists in the game
23:58unselfish offense
23:59leads to Butler getting something in rhythm
24:02Reeves
24:03kept alive
24:05Luca
24:05get off me
24:08he knows his job in the glass
24:10and he does it well
24:11cleaning it up and sending it right back
24:15pass to Heal
24:20oh a clear foul there
24:22on the missed shot
24:22so he'll get a pair at the line
24:24it's going to be on DeAndre Hayton
24:26Huntley Calhoun meets the defense
24:29with energy inside
24:30pushing his shot through the foul
24:32and getting it in the air
24:33it's his first trip to the line
24:42shooting two
24:54and he makes it first
24:55well Richard for this Warriors team
24:57that Steph Curry injury in the playoffs proved huge
25:00yeah Steph is just so important
25:02he strained his hamstring in game one of that second round series against Minnesota
25:06and once that happened Golden State really never had a shot in the series
25:10just shows how valuable he is to the organization
25:14connects checked in for Los Angeles
25:16he'll hit some both
25:18guys like Buddy Heald knock down shooters
25:20they are in high demand around the league
25:26Reeves up top
25:27guarded by Heald
25:28oh and that one no question
25:30powered it down
25:31and one move ahead of the defense

25:35and then the monster dunk to complete the play
25:38well done
25:39well great chemistry on display
25:42he understood where to put the screen in order to free up his teammate
25:46and the basket by Heald
25:48this is Heald at his best
25:50as a major threat to torch defenses off the catch
25:57Reeves against Heald
25:59Reeves the pass to James
26:03oh LeBron
26:05just too much to handle inside
26:07love how selfless he is setting
26:09brick screens like this
26:11plays like that right there
26:13are what help create easy scoring opportunities
26:15pass to Santos
26:20James against Butler
26:25now here's Green
26:27rejected by James
26:28a versatile talented winner
26:31excels at using his athleticism and length
26:34to block so many shots
26:35the Warriors lead by 8
26:41we've got a minute 48 left in the third
26:45heeled on the wing
26:51pass to Green
26:51wing shot on the way
26:53it's rebounded by Los Angeles
26:56I'm trying to think of the last time I saw a missing shot like that
26:59it's been a while
27:02Reeves the pass to James
27:05look at LeBron
27:06with the strength to score through Cossack
27:08yeah just too much big boy basketball by LeBron James
27:12just potting defenders inside
27:15timeout called the Warriors
27:17Richard when you talk about Austin Reeves
27:19this guy continues to defy expectation
27:22I still can't believe he was an undrafted creation
27:25not only does he score
27:26he shoots an impressive percentage while doing it
27:29it's just an incredible story
28:00however you're on the track
28:00you can't believe he was anout of Cossack
28:01it may be he will be damaged
28:12Oh, my God.
28:31Two changes here for the Warriors.
28:32Post is checked in for Green.
28:34Jackson Davis comes in for Jimmy Butler.
28:36And it's Kaminga in for Santos.
28:40Healed on the wing.
28:44Here's Jackson Davis.
28:46Lays it up and banks it in.
28:48Jackson Davis has got six.
28:50Showing off the dribble moves.
28:52Able to create for himself.
28:54I love it.
28:57Lakers trail by eight.
29:01Vinson passes to La Ravia.
29:07That shot off.
29:09Excellent.
29:09He there from Kaminga.
29:11The Warriors have gone four of nine in the third quarter.
29:15Oh, nice one-handed chance there, B.A.
29:18Hey, little exclamation point.
29:20And so it's Smart who brings up the ball for the Lakers.
29:24Over Heald.
29:25Deflected.
29:3424 seconds left in the third quarter.
29:36And the foul called on Buddy Heald.
29:38That's his first foul.
29:40I love great defense.
29:42Just quick to establish his feet.
29:44And he takes the hit.
29:45The Jemsky's checked in for Heald.
29:52Vinson outside.
30:05Just five on the clock.
30:07Right here.
30:07Right here.
30:10Here's Smart.
30:11Oh, it would have counted had it fallen.
30:14But it is offline.
30:16And so it's the Golden State Warriors.
30:18Earning this break in the action.
30:20Up 10.
30:21Getting lots of great looks.
30:23Shooting it well.
30:24That's why they're up.
30:25All right, stick around.
30:26We'll be right back after this.
30:47Fourth quarter action is upon us.
30:50Thanks, as always, for joining us.
30:58Lakers trail by 10.
31:00Jared Vanderbilt out there with Maxi Kleba.
31:02Then there's Marcus Smart.
31:04Then it's Gabe Benson.
31:05And it's LaRabia in at the three.
31:07That's the Laker five.
31:08And it's in there.
31:10Pick works well there.
31:11But the defense left a lot to be desired.
31:14Yeah, that just comes down to a lack of effort.
31:16The defender has to do a better job fighting through the screen.
31:19And count that.
31:21Two points and a chance for one more at the line.
31:24So Pajemski will go to the free throw line.
31:26It'll go on Maxi Kleba.
31:29And a look now at how the offensive approach has been going here so far for the Warriors.
31:34I like how they've been attacking the lane.
31:36It's been beautiful.
31:37All game long, they've been successful, penetrating, and getting offensive production.
31:41And another thing that's impressed me has been their consistency with their two-point jump shots.
31:46Getting it done from the mid-range.
31:49From a mid-major school to a first-round pick,
31:52Wisconsin native Brandon Pajemski has had quite the rise, RJ.
31:56Yeah, finish his top five in rookie of the year voting in 2024.
32:01Pajemski gives you a little bit of everything.
32:02That's a great rebounder for his size off.
32:06There's no debate there.
32:07He got hammered.
32:09At the line for two, Jarrett Vanderville.
32:34And that one misses.
32:35And the Lakers making a change here.
32:37Doncic checked in.
32:39Butler's checked in for the Warriors.
32:56So neither attempt will fall that time for him.
32:58The Warriors lead by 11.
33:02Now Pajemski.
33:06Outside Moody.
33:13Ooh, Aiton with the block.
33:16So difficult to shoot over.
33:18Aiton proving it with that rejection.
33:21The Lakers shooting the ball at 43% from the field.
33:24Ooh, and the jab by Aiton.
33:27With a strong finish to cut into that lead a little.
33:31And left no doubt with that one, Grant.
33:36Now here's Pajemski.
33:37Guarded by Doncic.
33:39To the inside.
33:43Butler taking his time here.
33:47Oh, they get a hand on it.
33:48And stolen by Vanderville.
33:50They've got numbers.
33:53So it'll be two free throws.
33:54He was fouled in the act of shooting.
33:57It goes on Brandon Pajemski.
33:59He's not afraid of getting physical.
34:00I like how LeBron James has no problem accepting the contact while trying to score.
34:05LeBron James.
34:06Two shots.
34:23First one falls for him.
34:26Grant, LeBron has had so much recognition over the years.
34:29But truly, he might not get enough credit for what he's meant to the NBA.
34:33Yeah, you might be right, B.A.
34:34Truly a global ambassador for the game of basketball.
34:38He's set the standard for what a superstar can be, really, in any sport.
34:43And the Warriors making a change here.
34:45Heels checked in.
34:46Both free throws good from James.
34:49And when you think of LeBron, his competitive spirit is, to me, the first thing that comes to mind.
34:54All this guy wants to do is win all the time.
34:58Pajemski's shot is good.
35:00Absolutely ruthless.
35:01He's not about to start showing mercy now.
35:04This is what you expect from him.
35:06Just coming alive and dominating in an effortless fashion here in the board.
35:10Yeah, it was just a little late.
35:12I mean, he thought he got there.
35:13But the ref saw it otherwise.
35:15Draymond Green.
35:16He's checked in for the Warriors.
35:18Timeout called.
35:19The Warriors.
35:19Man, you know what to do.
35:39Now you're ready.
35:41Now you're ready.
35:44Now you're ready.
35:44Now you're ready.
35:51A chance here to catch up with Allie from the sideline.
35:54I was able to listen in on what Steve Kerr had to say to the team.
35:57He told his guys, quote, do not get complacent.
36:00No coasting to the finish line here.
36:02Stay on the gas.
36:03Keep the energy up.
36:04He throws it out.
36:06Coach doesn't just want them to hang on to this lead.
36:08He wants them to extend it.
36:10Okay, thanks, Allie.
36:11Second personal foul.
36:13Second team foul.
36:16Shooting for Golden State.
36:18Moses Moody at the line for two.
36:28Shooting two.
36:39And he drops him first.
37:02So he gets them both.
37:05Moving along.
37:06Two minutes gone in the fourth.
37:10James passes to Doncic.
37:14Jacks up a three.
37:16Oh, Doncic!
37:17What do you expect?
37:19Encouraging to see Doncic sink the three.
37:22Needs to keep doing this now.
37:25Pass to Moody.
37:30Outside for Jemsky.
37:31Now Butler.
37:34Six to shoot.
37:35Over Vanderbilt.
37:36And the Warriors miss again.
37:39And Doncic just got the ball here for Los Angeles.
37:42They trail by six.
37:45Back to James.
37:48Off the left rim and out.
37:50The Warriors have gone two of five from the field in this final quarter.
37:54But Jemsky's shot is good.
37:58Fourth quarter keeps moving along.
38:01Three minutes gone by now.
38:04From deep, here's Doncic.
38:06And another three for the Lakers.
38:09And when he puts it all together,
38:12look at the kind of night Luka can have.
38:14Wow.
38:15Pass to Green.
38:20And here's Butler.
38:21Fires for three.
38:22Jimmy Buckets with the tray.
38:25That's how you up the ante.
38:27Come right back at him.
38:29Yeah, I love the competitive fire right there.
38:31You've trained a triple on us,
38:33and I'm coming for my revenge.
38:34Time called here.
38:35Los Angeles decides to talk it over.
38:38You got to like what we're seeing from Brandon Pajemsky.
38:40Okay, I'm going to take you guys inside the huddle, all right?
38:43The message from coach is simple.
38:45Stop him.
38:57All right, let's give you a look now at our player of the game.
39:01It's almost beyond belief what he's done in this game.
39:03He's been impossible to cool off,
39:06hitting just about everything he looks at.
39:08It doesn't matter who's guarding him.
39:10He's had an answer for just about everyone.
39:13This guy loves playing the role of the villain.
39:16It's what motivates him to play well on the road, I think.
39:18And he did just that tonight,
39:20channeling that energy in a positive way,
39:22getting a huge victory away from home.
39:35Over three and a half minutes through the final quarter now.
39:38And Doncic launches from deep.
39:40Rebounded by Green.
39:42Green's got four rebounds now.
39:47Curry against Doncic.
39:49James with the block.
39:51And that'll be Golden State's ball as it goes out of bounds.
39:54Warriors able to keep possession.
40:07Outside Curry.
40:12Six on the shot clock.
40:16Encouraging to see Doncic hustle like this on defense.
40:19Wanting to make an impact in doing just this.
40:22James finds Doncic.
40:24And he's going for the lob!
40:26The lob!
40:27Very well done.
40:29Nice touch on both ends of that alley-oop.
40:31Hey, when he let go of the pass,
40:33I had no idea what he was going for.
40:38Left side, Pajemski.
40:41Reeves with some nice D.
40:43Lakers trail by six.
40:46Doncic on the wing.
40:48Machimura.
40:49Pass to Doncic.
40:50The three.
40:51Gets the three to four.
40:54Doncic has got nine points in the quarter.
40:56That's a clutch shot by a big-time shooter.
40:59And where's the D?
41:00Pass to Pajemski.
41:04Outside for Butler.
41:11Here's Moody.
41:17Oh, serious gut check point from Moody.
41:21Oh, what a crafty move.
41:23Causing the defender to pause right there.
41:25A good look from Doncic.
41:26It falls!
41:28What a beautiful shot!
41:30Brings him with him three!
41:32Clutch play by Doncic.
41:34He's been doing this since he was a kid.
41:36Curry.
41:37And misses it off the right side of the rim.
41:39I think he's gone completely dry.
41:42Nothing is hitting.
41:43Yeah, and the risk now is that he gets inside his head.
41:47Time to take deep breaths.
41:49In through the nose, out through the mouth,
41:51and let the game come to you.
41:52Team five.
41:54At the line for Los Angeles,
41:58Austin Reeves.
41:59Two shots.
42:07Two shots.
42:18Good on the first.
42:19And that brings it within two here.
42:41good on both
42:42that's what they needed from him
42:45unaffected by the pressure
42:48they'll probably slow things down
42:50now burn the clock
42:52while you have to leave
42:53I like that
42:56inside
42:57yeah
42:58talk about stepping up in a big way
43:02what a huge play coming through
43:04when it matters most
43:05the Lakers call timeout
43:08they're behind by three
43:1023 seconds left in the fourth
43:12alright guys what's your take
43:14if they leave the arc open
43:16take it but it may be safer
43:18to get a quick two and then foul
43:19yeah time is the enemy at this point
43:22so I think I'd go for the tie
43:24and avoid playing the foul game
43:51all right man
43:52stand up and give it a go
44:0023 seconds left in the fourth quarter of this one
44:05from deep here's Doncic
44:12some players shrink when the pressure's on
44:15but he lives for these moments
44:17and Steve Kerr wants a timeout
44:21let's make some noise
44:52let's make some noise
44:5815 seconds left in the fourth quarter
45:04Doncic against Curry
45:09outside for Jemsky
45:10the three
45:11oh my
45:13what a shot

45:18love to see that confident play on offense
45:21and so it's the Warriors who come out on top here
45:24and this was an emotional win for them
