00:00The figure for Doc Rivers, in a perfect world, he'd probably like to play Simms and Turner together,
00:06but it's been Simms over Turner down the stretch, and it's led to a lot of wins lately for the
00:11Bucs.
00:14Final minute of the opening half.
00:18Front to the Knicks, lead by 16, off the dribble pull-up, this is short.
00:25It was eight of nine in that incendiary first quarter, one of four senses.
00:34Kuzma leans in, tough shot, wouldn't go, good denial at the rim by Towns.
00:39Knicks have a chance to go two for one, Shammott sees the opportunity and knocks down another three.
00:44Landry Shammott, four out of five from long distance, as Knicks are putting the finishing touches on an immaculate first
00:51half.
00:51Well, and it's just beautiful watching him run in transition.
00:54He gets those feet set, his shot is so locked and loaded, and like you said, he's hot tonight.
01:00He's been a much better shooter at the Garden this year.
01:03It's one of his best nights on the road from three this season.
01:07Turner draws the foul on Ananobi, and we'll see if his foot was on the three-point line or not,
01:11and like Danielle Scott says that it was, so it's two free throws for Turner.
01:16But really baiting guys into getting off their feet, a possession of goal was
01:20Josh Hart jumping in the air, getting a little body, and obviously Turner putting those arms out on that one.
01:26I'm not sure I agree as much.
01:27That wasn't his natural shooting motion, which is supposed to now have to be the case.
01:32Well, because his foot was on the line, I guess either way it's two free throws.
01:37Second foul in the last two minutes.
01:39But Ananobi now arguing that he got the ball clean, perhaps.
01:44It would be his third foul.
01:47And with the shot going up, it officially is his third foul, although Turner missed it.
01:53Stay tuned at the end of the half, just seconds from now for the halftime report.
01:57It's sponsored by Verizon.
02:00And our award-winning crew in studio.
02:02They've been waiting the last three days after the rear back-to-back off nights for the Knicks on the
02:08road.
02:09As they get the dub tonight, they'll have a two-and-one road trip.
02:14Coming back Sunday for a marquee matchup against the San Antonio Spurs.
02:19Some tough games ahead.
02:22Some tough games coming up.
02:24Final seconds, first half.
02:26Towns off the catch.
02:27He goes right to the rim.
02:29He's got 12 points, four on free throws, and eight on layups.
02:37Green with the clock winding.
02:39Gave it up.
02:40And that'll be the ninth turnover forced by the Knicks in the first half.
02:44And if the offense was stuck in mud the last few games,
02:47they are running free tonight in Milwaukee.
02:5077 points on the board in the opening half.
02:53One shy of a season high.
02:5820-point lead for the Knicks as we head to the third quarter.

03:19It was a 77-point first half, second-highest scoring half of the season.
03:24And the Knicks were one three-pointer shy of tying the franchise record for most and a half.
03:29They hit 13 of them.
03:32You've got to love.
03:33You've just got to love the way they came out firing.
03:35And it was the 13 threes, but it was also the 20 assists.
03:40So many of those assisted.
03:41You've got to love that.
03:42Brunson was four for four.
03:44Sham at four out of five.
03:47But on the interior was Carl Anthony Towns at a game-high 12 points in the second quarter.
03:54And all of his points came to the paint or the free-throw line.
03:58Out there with the starting five.
04:00Brunson, Hart, Bridges, Andanobi, and Towns.
04:02Andanobi lines up a corner three, and he drills it.
04:06Andanobi has got the three-point shot going again.
04:09It's been a slow start coming off that toe injury, but he looked good tonight.
04:13He's two of three.
04:16Green's three-pointers look good since he entered the league.
04:19He's at 43% this year.
04:22Gets it back to a 20-point game.
04:24And you just know A.J. Green is going to be aggressive because at this point,
04:27it's got to be high-volume three-point shooting.
04:30It's got to be stopping the clock, free-throw shooting for Milwaukee.
04:33Had a lot of minutes to play here, but they're going to be aggressive.
04:36It's not a lot of pressure.
04:38They've been the best three-point shooting team in the league these last ten games.
04:42Andanobi lines up another.
04:43Hits again, back-to-back three-pointers for O.J. Andanobi.
04:48Well, Towns, you had just said 13 threes in the first half.
04:50Almost a record this season, and now all of a sudden two more, both from O.J. to start.
04:55That's a heck of a way to come out.
04:58Turner has four in the first half.
05:00Good defense from Andanobi.
05:03One of the few who can guard one through five in the NBA.
05:06He's guarding the center right now.
05:08Rollins late shot clock, trying to get away from Bridges.
05:11And we see players get away with a lot on the gather.
05:14But Rollins, one step too many for Danielle Scott, who calls the travel.
05:18Yeah, so we just want to clip that and make sure we put that on Twitter or whatever we want
05:23to put it on
05:24to show there are still travels in the NBA.
05:26My goodness, Ryan Rollins.
05:29That's what good defense looks like when the guy actually picks up the ball and goes for a run.
05:33Towns on the interior.
05:34Shot was altered by Turner.
05:37You're right, so great defense from Mikael Bridges.
05:40That's been another strong theme tonight.
05:42Kuzma in the corner.
05:43He hits a three.
05:44Two for two from the end of the arc, and seven points for Kyle Kuzma.
05:52Hart set the tone tonight.
05:54Ten points in the first five minutes.
05:56And a third three-pointer from O.J. Ananobi in the first two minutes of the third.
06:02Well, you saw Josh Hart come out hot.
06:04You saw Jalen take over, then it was Cat, and you got to love him.
06:08Now it's another guy, O.J. Ananobi, getting hot.
06:11Kuzma gets hard off his feet.
06:13Towns didn't fight on that fake.
06:15Then they call him for the touch foul, and Kuzma will get to the free-throw line.
06:23Well, everybody is spreading the love.
06:26The ball is moving.
06:27Guys are in the right spots.
06:28The Knicks, the best corner three-point shooting team in the league.
06:32They got three guys that are in the top seven in three-pointers made in the corner.
06:37O.J. is one of them.
06:39With a nice paint touch from Josh Hart.
06:41You know, Mike Brown loves that.
06:42Three assists from Hart.
06:44And how about our guy Alan Han's stat of the game tonight?
06:47When Ananobi makes just two three-pointers, the Knicks are 21-5.
06:54Now, stats like that don't tell the whole story, but one of the themes of their two losses out of
06:59the All-Star break to Detroit and Cleveland was collectively poor three-point shooting.
07:03They were 8 of 35 against the Pistons, 10 of 37 against Cleveland.
07:08If you get shooting nights like tonight, the Knicks can truly be the best offense in the NBA.
07:15And they really have shown that at certain times and for certain stretches of this year.
07:19But I'm going to text Alan.
07:20I'm going to figure out when O.J. Ananobi makes four threes, what their record is.
07:23And a nice pump fit to the reverse jam.
07:26It's all Ananobi here in the third quarter.
07:29He's got 11 points.
07:35Porter glides inside and sets up Kuzma for another quarter three.
07:40Now, you always hear that you don't necessarily want guys to take turns.
07:45You kind of want a cohesive effort, but it really has been Hart, then Brunson, and then Towns in the
07:52second.
07:52And now Ananobi here in the third.
07:56Tries the sidestep.
07:58Not this time.
08:00Sounds a couple of taps, but it winds up with Rollins.
08:02Yeah, basketball, it is such an easier sport when it's being spread around.
08:07And a lot of guys are getting buckets.
08:08Good defense right there by Hart, contesting that at the rim.
08:12And on the other end, Hart sets up Brunson.
08:15He's got 22 in the first quarter, only three points since.
08:19He thought there was a foul there on green.
08:21Porter jerked the head back, and they'll call Hart for the foul.
08:24That's his third.
08:25Jalen's going to have something to say right here.
08:29Technical foul called on Jalen Brunson.
08:34He's able to draw so many of those landing area fouls on three-pointers, or really any kind of foul
08:42on his three.
08:42I'm not sure if that's what he's arguing.
08:44He knows better than anybody if he's fouled on a jump shot like that.
08:48Well, clearly the rules have been put in place to protect the shooters.
08:51You can't put your foot underneath on a guy.
08:53But I also think you have to think about the fact that Jalen Brunson was having himself a 30-35.
08:59Look at that, right under his foot.
09:00That's clearly a foul.
09:01That's what the rule was put in to do to protect guys like Brunson.
09:05But against Milwaukee, the last time the Knicks played here, Jalen with an ankle injury.
09:09The Knicks end up losing the game after they were playing really well.
09:12So maybe just a little reminiscent for him as well.
09:14First technical foul of the year on Jalen Brunson as Kyle Kuzma cools off quickly.
09:20It scored seven straight points for the Bucs before that air ball.
09:24How many texts for you, Steve Novak?
09:26Can I take a guess?
09:28You can take a guess.
09:29I'd be stunned at any more than two.
09:31Yeah, you're right.
09:32Zero.
09:32Mike Green and I were talking about it.
09:34How many do you have?
09:35And I said zero.
09:36You said 12 Clyde Frazier.
09:38Zero as well.
09:39So apparently that's just something that MSG networks make sure they check out.
09:43Anyone with technicals, no chance.
09:46That makes sense.
09:46I didn't have any of my NBA career.
09:50Kuzma's got nine straight for Milwaukee.
09:55Now Bridges slips inside.
09:56He thought he was hit from behind.
09:59Now it's green.
10:02Turner's been red hot all night.
10:04That one halfway down.
10:12I think our staff leader as the Knicks turn it over at technical fouls is Wiley Zerbiak with 14.
10:19Monica McNutt was an angel at Georgetown, of course.
10:23As Green delivers a three-pointer, Milwaukee hanging around here.
10:2715-point game.
10:29The Knicks had led by as many as 24.
10:31And Mike Brown needs a timeout.
10:3388-73.
10:35A.J. Green getting hot here.
10:37Knicks needed.
10:43You gesture.
10:44The world responds.
10:46Any car that doesn't offer that sense of control is a car that stops short of amazing.
10:56Nice run from Milwaukee.
10:57They're back within 15.
10:59Let's get you tonight's recovery report.
11:01It's presented by Orlin and Cohen Orthopedic Group.
11:04Good to see Deuce McBride with the team on this road trip.
11:07And he spoke to the media today.
11:08He's missed the last 14 games with a core muscle injury.
11:12He said his goal is always, it always has been, to return before the end of the regular season.
11:16But there's no specific timeline.
11:19He says that he knows the team wants him back.
11:22But they want him back right and fully healthy.
11:25And at the latest check, he's been able to do light work, which includes shooting without jumping.
11:29Hoping the best and a speedy, healthy return for Deuce McBride.
11:33As McHale Bridges forces his way in for a tough floater.
11:36This is fourth points of the night.
11:38But we're talking about everything he's done on the other end.
11:42It's a steal, two blocks.
11:44And now an offensive foul on Ryan Rollins.
11:48Yeah, that's a no-brainer call.
11:50You saw Bobby Portis get that same call earlier.
11:52It was also on Jalen Brunson.
11:54But once you give that ball up, you've got to set those feet.
11:56Otherwise, boom, that's a moving screen because Jalen has a defender.
11:59He has right of way.
12:01That doesn't go down in the books as a charge drawn.
12:05Brunson leads the league with 20 of them.
12:07And he's taken eight charges this month.
12:10That's more than double the next guy.
12:15And Anobi just came in for McHale Bridges after making that shot.
12:19Towns with a tough one.
12:20Cleaned up by Kuzma.
12:2417-point lead for the Knicks.
12:26They've led by as many as 24.
12:29Porter shoves a pass to Turner.
12:31He got clocked by Hart.
12:32And that is four personal fouls on Josh Hart with free throws coming up for Turner.
12:39Yeah, you've got to like just the hard foul right there,
12:42not letting him get up the shot to the basket.
12:45Obviously, no lead is safe in this league, especially with this much time.
12:49Still 6.28 left in the third quarter.
12:51And this Knicks team is shooting the ball well.
12:53They're guarding.
12:53They're doing so much right.
12:54But this is a Milwaukee team that has guys like Kevin Porter Jr.
12:59that have been so dynamic lately, Ryan Rollins.
13:02Those two guys especially have combined for over 43 points per game
13:06just in the month of February.
13:08And so they can kind of pop off at any time.
13:11And that guy, A.J. Green, out there, you've got to keep an eye on him.
13:13That's why you don't want to see Josh Hart in foul trouble.
13:15He's got to be out there playing some defense.
13:17The Bucs have done a nice job executing in late-game situations
13:21the last couple of nights.
13:24Had to come back in the fourth quarter to beat Miami on Tuesday.
13:28And a handful of lead changes in the fourth quarter
13:30as they held on to beat Cleveland on Wednesday.
13:33Diawara checks into the game.
13:35So it's Brunson, Shannon, Ananobi, Diawara, and Towns.
13:39And it'll be a long two.
13:41And everything's dropping in for Ananobi in this third quarter.
13:44He's got 13 points.
13:46Yeah, this is the best he's looked on this side of All-Star break.
13:49That shot has fallen.
13:50And I thought Kevin Porter Jr. did a great job contesting that cut.
13:53Knocked it out right over the top.
13:58Now it's Porter on the spin.
13:59Ananobi got a hand in there.
14:01Turner, a long three.
14:03Hit it out.
14:05Rebound Towns.
14:06Porter went down.
14:07And Brunson will bring it ahead.
14:08Surrounded by Bucs will find the Awara.
14:11He'll take his time on this possession.
14:14Now a whistle and a foul away for the ball against Milwaukee.
14:20Kevin Porter Jr. with that foul.
14:23And O.G. Ananobi with just five points last game.
14:26And you would never know it because he's got 19 right now.
14:29He's knocking down back-to-back threes to start the half.
14:32And a beautiful little two-pointer over the top.
14:35A part of tonight's Range Rover Sport dynamic performance.
14:38And it will be five of six from the field in the third.
14:42Three out of four from three.
14:44Mitchell Robinson checks in for Towns.
14:46Runs it down the lane.
14:48Stops.
14:48Turns.
14:49Fadeaway jumper.
14:50At this time.
14:52See how many bodies they throw at Mitchell Robinson on an offensive rebound situation.
14:58Riding in Kuzma with the lefty layup.
15:01Offensive rebound.
15:02Porter lost it on the putback.
15:03Sham it on the deck.
15:05Sims into the game.
15:05Couldn't control it.
15:06And it winds up with Brunson.
15:12Approaching the final five minutes of the third quarter.
15:14Knicks back up 18.
15:16Make it 20.
15:17Brunson's first point since halftime.
15:19He's got 27.
15:20Yeah, beautiful job just probing.
15:21Working for the right shot.
15:23He thought he was going to use that Mitchell Robinson screen and roll.
15:25But boy, once he gets those feet set, there's nobody better.
15:29Porter shows off the handle.
15:31Forced into a tough shot by Shannon.
15:36Pressing a little bit.
15:37Porter is three out of nine.
15:39And it will be building speed.
15:40Draws the foul.
15:41And he'll get to the free throw line.
15:45Brunson, he's not pressing.
15:4722 points second over in the first quarter.
15:49But letting everybody else get involved until this nice bucket.
15:51You know, he has so much responsibility.
15:54When you're the point guard, when you're the captain,
15:55you've got it going like tonight.
15:57You can get everything to go.
15:58A little fadeaways, threes.
15:59He's got a little contact getting to the free throw line.
16:01But you just have to respect the amount of jobs that a guy like Jalen Brunson has.
16:07He's got to run this squad.
16:08He's got to be a vocal leader.
16:10He's got to lead by example.
16:11He's got to make sure he gets cat going and other guys.
16:14And he's doing a heck of a job tonight.
16:17Bobby Portis will check back into the game.
16:22Brunson, 11 of 16.
16:24He was 8 of 9 in the first quarter.
16:28Sam Anobi's great third continues.
16:3015 points for him in just over seven minutes.
16:3721 points on the night.
16:38By far his best performance since the All-Star break.
16:41And since coming back from that right toe injury.
16:46He established a 22-point lead after the Bucs.
16:49They cut it down to 15.
16:52Late clock here.
16:53Porter has Robinson on him.
16:54Crosses over.
16:55Steps back for three and drills him.
16:58You're not going to find a big fella like Mitchell Robinson that can move those feet better
17:03and can test better at his size.
17:05That was a heck of a shot by KPJ.
17:11Four minutes left in this third quarter.
17:16Sham it off the dribble.
17:17Can't answer.
17:18Porter the rebound.
17:20He's got 11 points, 9 assists, and 6 boards.
17:24Kuzma.
17:25Ball fake.
17:26Another one.
17:27Sham it stays down.
17:29Quick turn from Porter.
17:30Almost threw it away.
17:31But that's off of Mitchell Robinson.
17:34Some disciplined defense on ball from the Knicks tonight.
17:37And then even if you do get by the front line, you've got to deal with Mitchell Robinson.
17:40Well, look, the defense isn't talked about as much because New York is winning this game right now
17:45with a ton of offense.
17:46This Knicks team is making shots to a lot of different guys.
17:48But, it's a big but.
17:50This is the number one defensive rated team the last 15 games.
17:55Bridges comes in for Ananobi.
17:58Kuzma, 35-footer, got it to go.
18:02Look at Kyle Kuzma, his fourth three-pointer.
18:06And that one's from Green Bay.
18:08Yeah, there's no defense for that.
18:10You keep stepping back further and further.
18:11You get your space.
18:12That was pretty far.
18:15Bridges able to answer.
18:16First three-pointer tonight for Mikael Bridges.
18:19Great answer.
18:20Obviously, the guy's going to hit a low-go three.
18:22It's nice to come down on the other end and get a spot-up corner.
18:27Bridges doing all the little things tonight.
18:29Four assists, two blocks, just six points, but he's having a winning night.
18:35Green left it short.
18:36Rebound tipped by Diawara.
18:38Came to Sims.
18:40Kuzma.
18:41Rebound Robinson.
18:45Brunson in a hurry.
18:46Crossing over Sims.
18:47Taking on his former teammate, but then Porter fouled him from behind.
18:52Had two fouls to give.
18:56Kuzma and Bridges trading three-pointers of different lengths here in Milwaukee.
19:01They're trying to stick around, and I'll tell you what, if you're going to hit 35, 40-foot threes, you
19:06might have a chance,
19:06but as long as they're not playing defense like this, Bridges, stay hot.
19:13More bills.
19:14The defense is Experian.
19:17That's our BFF, right?

19:25Experian.
19:29Time to answer tonight's Cadillac trivia question.
19:32Which father-son duo to play for the Knicks has the most combined career points,
19:37and that could be points for the Knicks or for any other team.
19:40Your mind goes to Jalen Brunson and Rick Brunson.
19:44Let's see what it is.
19:47Henry and Mike Bibby.
19:49That's what I was thinking.
19:50I played with Mike.
19:51Yeah.
19:52Good job.
19:52I played with Mike when I was with the Knicks.
19:55He was dropping dimes and talking trash,
19:57and his dad had actually recruited me at USC and said,
20:00if you come visit at USC, you'll never be able to say no.
20:04So I didn't go visit because I was scared I was going to commit,
20:06and I liked some other places too, and ended up at Marquette.
20:12State local is Shane McGonstrips.
20:14Eric and Kiki Vandeway.
20:16Ernie and Kiki Vandeway with Doc at Austin Rivers.
20:24It was very cool, you know, the alumni weekend that the Knicks organization does,
20:29led by Leon Rose and William Wesley, incredibly generous,
20:33and all the guys coming back.
20:34The Bibbys were there, both Coach, Coach Henry and Mike.
20:38One of the best things the Knicks do these days is Porter able to connect on a three-pointer.
20:43He's actually shooting 45% this year.
20:51Things tightening up again.
20:5315-point game, final two minutes, third quarter,
20:55but Shamit re-extends the lead to 18.
20:58You know, I can't help but go back to what Coach Mike Brown talked about
21:01in the pre-game press conference.
21:03He wanted quick decisions, paint touches,
21:05and then hit the three-point shooters,
21:07and on the Knicks' best possessions,
21:09that is exactly what it looks like that's what it was,
21:11just on that last possession.
21:12It's a fifth three for Shamit tonight,
21:14and he forces the miss from Thomas on the other end.
21:19Brunson with 27.
21:21Passes out to double-team,
21:22good feed from Diawara,
21:24and bridges across the lane, hands to Brunson.
21:30We'll go pick and roll,
21:32but then Brunson got picked off by Usman Jang.
21:35Sims lost it,
21:37and the Knicks take over.
21:39We've turned it over just four times now, the Knicks.
21:42That was number 12 from Milwaukee.
21:48The second time in this third quarter,
21:50the Bucs had trimmed the deficit down to 15,
21:52but the Shamit three,
21:54there's a little more breathing room for New York.
21:56Just look at the space.
21:59That would have been 30 for Brunson.
22:04Still 17 out of 30 from three.
22:08Jang not close,
22:09and Sims tracks down the rebound.
22:14Rollins around the screen.
22:18That's defense for Bridges,
22:20forces Portis into a tough spot,
22:21and he's blocked by Robinson.
22:23And what great support to have a big fella
22:26that recognizes Jalen Brunson on Bobby Portis.
22:29He's coming over there to block that shot.
22:31First, the longest-tenured Knicks just blocked his former teammate.
22:38Diora showing off the handle and the footwork,
22:41and it'll get to the free-throw line.
22:43It was an adventurous possession,
22:44but in the end, a positive one for Mohamed Diora.
22:47As we see Mitchell Robinson getting it done on the other end
22:50for tonight's energizing play presented by C4 Energy.
22:55Well, you've got to have each other's back.
22:56You've got to see and recognize,
22:57look, if Jalen Brunson or any guard is down there on the big fella,
23:01that's your job.
23:02Coach Mike Brown talked about guys knowing their job,
23:05understanding their role.
23:06Yeah, he's out there to block shots,
23:08get some offensive boards,
23:09be one of the best offensive rebounders in this whole league.
23:14The brain trust, part of it anyway,
23:16Mike Brown and Rick Brunson.
23:20Have to be pleased with what they've seen
23:22through two-plus quarters so far.
23:27Yeah, you wanted to see a response
23:29because I think you've seen all teams,
23:31but the Knicks as well,
23:33have parts of the season where they play so well,
23:36win nine out of 11,
23:37but then other spurts where it's not so good.
23:40That Cleveland game was a game,
23:40you could tell it was not good enough for this team,
23:43and they've responded like the team
23:45that everybody knows that they are.
23:47Good-looking free throws from Diora, by the way.
23:49He's now five out of eight in his career.
23:53He had a foul to give,
23:54so if Brunson grabbed Rollins,
23:56second foul on the Knick captain.
24:05Three seconds left for Rollins.
24:07Bridges making his life tough.
24:09Left-handed Cam Thomas.
24:10That would have been something.
24:12But after the lead was trimmed to 15 a couple of times,
24:15it's back up to 20 for the Knicks
24:17as we head to the fourth quarter
24:18on another edition of Friday Night Knicks.
24:44And the team makes,
24:46takes on the Thunder on March 4th at 7 p.m.
24:48We'll celebrate friendship all game long
24:50with special programming,
24:51including a full arena friendship bracelet giveaway,
24:54a New York or Nowhere gift
24:56with purchase opportunity, and more.
24:58Knicks Best Friends Night,
25:00presented by New York or Nowhere and Chase.
25:03I don't want to be weird, Tyler,
25:04but basically Mike Green,
25:05at first he had invited me.
25:07As Bobby Portis knocks that down,
25:08he had invited me to Best Friends Night,
25:10and then he uninvited me,
25:11so I'm wondering what you're doing for Best Friends Night.
25:13Monica and I have plans.
25:14Unbelievable.
25:16I was so vulnerable right there for a moment,
25:18and you do me like that.
25:20You can go, Stag.
25:21I can say, no, no, we're good, we're good.
25:23It's only fun.
25:25That's tipped out of bounds by Bobby Portis.
25:27Love that idea, though,
25:28the friendship bracelets.
25:29Very popular.
25:32Oh, Ananobi looking to build on
25:34an excellent third quarter.
25:39Really has been a different Knicks
25:41stepping up,
25:42and he stands it tonight.
25:46Brunson had 22 in the first,
25:48and Ava the fourth will belong to
25:50Muhammad D'Awara,
25:51who just nailed his second three-pointer.
25:53And he really has a presence about him
25:55that is so impressive,
25:56because all game long,
25:57he's found his way into the right spots,
25:59he's been doing a good job moving his feet,
26:01on offense,
26:02he's patient,
26:03and I banged that shot down.
26:04Tough one from Thomas,
26:06that's been his story tonight.
26:07And Ananobi the other way.
26:11Towns had 12 in the second,
26:12and then it was Ananobi with 15 in the third.
26:19D'Awara needs help.
26:20Or does he?
26:22I stand corrected,
26:23Muhammad D'Awara.
26:24Second time we've seen that.
26:26Able to draw a couple of fouls.
26:28There's Monica McNutt.
26:29I mean, this is, look,
26:30it's kind of an open wound right now.
26:31I'm not sure,
26:32this might be a little too soon.
26:34I mean, I fight Monica too,
26:35and I was actually going to invite her
26:36if you said no,
26:37but now,
26:37well, I guess,
26:39maybe Pat O'Keefe could fill in.
26:41Now this is,
26:42hey, Pat.
26:43For folks who don't know,
26:44Monica and I are the radio broadcast team
26:47for the New York Knicks,
26:47but Pat O'Keefe,
26:48a phenomenal job.
26:49We're so lucky to have him
26:50as our host
26:51and ace play-by-play guy
26:52on ESPN Radio New York.
26:54Well, you know, Todd,
26:55I wasn't actually going to bring this up,
26:56but I guess since you already have someone
26:58you're going to Best Friends Night with,
26:59I did want to bring up
27:00that I learned something about you last night
27:02that I was
27:02to be honest,
27:04was very impressed with him.
27:06Oh, no.
27:06Is it true that
27:07while you were working in the minor leagues
27:10that you were a mascot,
27:12multiple different mascots
27:14for different teams
27:15while you were also doing
27:16the radio broadcast
27:17and TV broadcast for those teams?
27:19Diawara makes both free throws
27:21in sports for four tonight
27:22as Portis answers,
27:24yes, it's a rite of passage
27:25if you ask anyone
27:26who's called a game
27:27in minor league baseball.
27:29The job description includes
27:30the final bullet point,
27:31other duties as a side
27:33and that technically means
27:34pulling tarp
27:35at the early hours
27:37of the morning
27:37and, yeah,
27:38they're rolling
27:39on a mascot suit
27:40from time to time.
27:40And you're sure
27:41it's all the broadcasters
27:42are getting that contract
27:43with those responsibilities
27:44in it?
27:45their hassle.
27:46Okay, here is my resume
27:47in picture form.
27:48I was Cubby
27:49for the Daytona Cubs.
27:51This was you.
27:51There's Funko the Fisher Cat
27:53in Manchester, New Hampshire.
27:54Yes, that is me
27:55in that costume.
27:57Sheldon Tortuga,
27:58they discontinued that design.
27:59And that's definitely me
28:00because that was my attitude
28:01to being a mascot
28:02for the Dunedin Blue Jays
28:04as OG and Anobi
28:05thankfully changes the topic
28:06with his red-hot shooting.
28:08He's got five threes tonight.
28:09I like what you did there.
28:10I'll let it die.
28:11But I am impressed
28:12with OG and Anobi
28:13shooting in
28:14with your mascot
28:15responsibilities back in the day.
28:17Yes, there's different forms
28:18of paying your dues
28:19in the broadcast industry.
28:20But I guarantee
28:21there has to be
28:22one other minor league
28:23broadcaster out there
28:24that knows exactly
28:25what I'm talking about.
28:27And they've done
28:27the same exact thing.
28:29All right,
28:29we're going to put it out
28:30on Twitter.
28:30We're going to find out.
28:32Look at Towns
28:32adjusting in midair
28:33but didn't get the roll.
28:36Now it's Rollins
28:37looking around.
28:40Tough pass
28:41caromed off
28:42of a buck.
28:43And the Knicks
28:44will take over
28:4413th giveaway
28:45from Milwaukee.
28:48Frustrating night
28:48for Doc Rivers.
28:50You can tell
28:50that this team
28:51has taken pride
28:52in winning 8 of 10
28:53without Giannis
28:53Antetokounmpo.
28:54He's done a great job
28:55highlighting how much
28:56confidence it's given
28:57this team.
28:59But the Knicks
29:00come in here
29:01hungry for a
29:02turnaround performance
29:03as Towns
29:04missed the dunk.
29:05Everything but the finish.
29:07Jag
29:08over to Thomas
29:09draws a foul
29:10and banked it in
29:11and won.
29:12And Diarra
29:13picks up
29:13his third foul.
29:15Yeah,
29:16it really has been
29:16an impressive effort
29:17I think on both ends.
29:19He definitely
29:20led with offense.
29:22But then on here,
29:23right here,
29:23Camp Thomas
29:24just taking a little
29:25bit of contact.
29:25He's still finding
29:26his way on this
29:27Milwaukee Bucks team
29:28and he's a shooter.
29:29He's going to keep
29:30shooting.
29:31Tonight's built
29:32for tough play
29:33presented by your
29:34local Ford stores.
29:36Thomas was 1 of 8
29:37before that tough
29:38finish.
29:38He's got 7 points
29:39now.
29:40And he really is
29:41in the game,
29:42especially at this
29:43point in the 4th quarter
29:44with the Knicks
29:45with the lead.
29:45He keeps shooting
29:46to be aggressive
29:47and so you're going
29:47to want to stay
29:48close to him.
29:48You want to highlight
29:49and talk about the
29:5040 plus point games
29:51that he's had
29:52against the Knicks.
29:54Bridges from the elbow.
29:56Have to love his
29:57contributions tonight.
29:59Only 8 points
30:00but very efficient.
30:025 assists,
30:032 blocks
30:03and a steal.
30:04Make it 2 steals now
30:05and the unselfishness
30:06continues as he sets up
30:07Jose Alvarado.
30:08He's got 7 points
30:10and Doc Rivers
30:11needs another timeout.
30:13While this Knicks team
30:14keeps playing like this,
30:15there is going to be
30:15no comeback.
30:17They're doing it
30:17on both ends.
30:18They're answering
30:19like that last
30:20Mikhail Bridge
30:21is knocked out
30:21and then
30:22a little bit
30:23of defense
30:23throwing it up
30:24to his guy
30:25Alvarado
30:26for an easy one.
30:29What was meant
30:30for this
30:32and I'm never
30:33second guessing
30:34fight
30:35till my
30:36last breath
30:38cause I was born
30:39to be a legend
30:40I was born
30:44to be a legend
30:45I was born
30:53Welcome back
30:54to Friday Night Knicks
30:55you're listening
30:56to Born
30:57to be a Legend
30:58from outskirts
30:58available to street
31:00wherever you listen
31:01to music.
31:04Milwaukee
31:05one of the hottest
31:06teams in the NBA
31:07they're not going
31:08down without a fight
31:09but just too much
31:10Knicks offense
31:10tonight.
31:1259% from 3
31:13and they've got
31:14a 25 point lead.
31:18There's Bobby Portis
31:20back and down
31:21Josh Hart
31:21who poked it away
31:22momentarily
31:24awkward looking shot
31:25off the side
31:26of the backboard
31:26and all Portis
31:28can do
31:28is beg for a foul
31:30and that's just
31:31beautiful defense
31:31because it's
31:32one on one
31:33you man up
31:33guard the guy
31:34in front of you
31:35quickly ahead
31:36Hart missed
31:37the lay of
31:37Towns crashing
31:38in for the rebound
31:39Hustle plays
31:40up 25 late
31:41Bridges
31:42a fadeaway
31:43soft touch
31:44with the rainbow
31:45jumper
31:45he's so smooth
31:46sometimes when he gets
31:47moving to his left
31:48like that
31:49he's his own man
31:50but I'll still give him
31:51very KD-esque
31:53the way he knocks
31:53that down
31:56can almost be a lost
31:57art in today's NBA
31:58with all the three point
31:59shooting we've seen
32:00double pump fake
32:01from Kuzma
32:03Portis
32:05Towns the rebound
32:06yeah you saw Alvarado
32:07he said
32:08I got away with one
32:09right there
32:09he has such good sense
32:11trying to go for that
32:12steal
32:12but almost gave up
32:13the wide open three
32:14to Portis
32:19Towns and Sims
32:20battling inside
32:24Towns patient
32:25gets to the right hand
32:26got his own miss
32:27and that one
32:28wouldn't go either
32:32that was like a drill
32:33back at Kentucky
32:34one on one
32:36coaches yelling at him
32:38whoever's tougher
32:38is going to get the
32:39stop of the bucket
32:40they're just leaving
32:41them to go to work
32:43not sure what happened
32:44on that second shot
32:47trying to blink
32:49something out of his eyes
32:51got his hand up there
32:57green in the lane
32:58looking around
32:59it's Kuzma now
33:01he hit a
33:02officially marked
33:03as a 33 foot
33:04three pointer
33:06from logo distance
33:07earlier in the half
33:09but that one's
33:09off the mark
33:11Towns gets Turner
33:12to bite on the fake
33:12and then lost the ball
33:13with a hard fall
33:14underneath
33:15and that's going to be
33:16Milwaukee basketball
33:17it's off of Towns
33:23Boy has a big fellow
33:24who can stay down
33:26on the shot fake
33:27and make a guy like
33:28Miles Turner go up
33:29just look at the
33:30collision though
33:31once he gets to the
33:31rim
33:32got AJ Green
33:33on the back line
33:34did a good job
33:35of getting Turner
33:35on his hip
33:36right there
33:36but
33:38sure why he's called
33:39plenty contact
33:40right there
33:41maybe I'm wrong
33:43Steve didn't see a
33:44whole lot of Towns
33:44pushing off
33:45after getting that
33:46first step
33:47something he's worked
33:47really hard to
33:48limit
33:49Porter missed the
33:50fadeaway
33:52seven minutes left
33:54Knicks have Alvarado
33:55Hart
33:55Shamit
33:56Diawara
33:57and Towns
34:01pass was tipped
34:01but Diawara's got it
34:04now Alvarado
34:05he'll take the long
34:07three
34:08Towns crashing in
34:09and that putback's good
34:11you know I really feel
34:12like throughout the season
34:13his pursuit
34:14of boards
34:15on both ends
34:16offense and defense
34:17hasn't been talked about
34:18enough
34:18he's a number two
34:19rebounder
34:19in the NBA
34:20but I just love
34:21the way he keeps
34:22crashing
34:23and reasonably
34:25Mitchell Robinson
34:26gets the main
34:27headlines on this
34:28team for offensive
34:28boards
34:29but those are
34:30two of the best
34:30in the league
34:31on the same team
34:32and Towns
34:32shows off the range
34:34he's taking his
34:35time tonight
34:36been probing
34:37on the interior
34:38but man his
34:38first three-pointer
34:39is a beauty
34:40and it forces
34:41another Doc Rivers
34:42timeout
34:43with another
34:44Towns takeover
34:45and that's just
34:46how basketball works
34:47you put in the work
34:48you run the floor
34:49you crash the glass
34:50you do the dirty work

35:52it's a really tough stretch
35:54and these kind of wins
35:55got to get to the finish line
35:56obviously still
35:57but they matter
36:00Doc Rivers has emptied
36:01the bench
36:02and you'll hear a cheer
36:03from both fan bases
36:05Steve Novak
36:05because Tyler Kolek's
36:07about to check in
36:08he played locally
36:09at Marquette
36:10nice steal here
36:11from Andre Jackson
36:12he wanted the highlight slam
36:15over a Yukon Husky
36:18now Jordan Clarkson
36:19with his first shot
36:20missed a three
36:21and they'll say
36:22that's off Huck Porting
36:24boy under Jackson Jr
36:25one of the most
36:26athletic hard playing
36:27guys are going to
36:28find in this league
36:29but this guy
36:29Tyler Kolek
36:31he's done a heck of a job
36:32for this group
36:33we've talked so much
36:34about the job
36:35Jose Alvarado has done
36:36since he's come to the team
36:38and obviously
36:39Tyler's gone to the bench
36:40a little bit
36:41but in the minutes
36:42he played against Cleveland
36:42I saw how sharp he was
36:44the job he did
36:45and I think that's telling
36:47a lot of Marquette guys
36:49in the building
36:50Doc Rivers
36:51Steve Novak
36:52Wes Matthews is here
36:54and of course Tyler Kolek
36:56yeah he knows these rims
36:58he shot a few shots here
36:59Tyler Kolek was

37:02dropping some dimes
37:03Biggie's player of the year
37:04but
37:05turning it over right there
37:07but
37:07set himself some big games
37:09this season
37:11especially on Christmas
37:13with an 11 point fourth quarter
37:15to come back
37:16against the Cavs
37:18hasn't had
37:19I guess you could say
37:20high impact minutes
37:21since the double overtime
37:22went over the Nuggets
37:23earlier this month
37:25but he's part of what
37:26makes this team
37:27as deep as we've seen
37:28in a long time
37:29in New York
37:30missed the three
37:31Clarkson had the rebound
37:33kicked out of bounds
37:33from behind
37:34by Pete Nance

38:00reinforcements
38:01and well he went on
38:02to have quite a career
38:03as Thanasis

38:07and fouled on the layup

38:17yeah it's quite a
38:18family affair
38:18over there with Giannis
38:20obviously not playing

39:00they've turned it over
39:01three times
39:02their last four trips
39:03Jeremy Sohan
39:06will get another chance
39:07that's off of Milwaukee
39:09good hustle
39:10from Gary Trent
39:10who dove into
39:11the front row
39:14Trey Jameson
39:15will check in
39:15he's on a two-way deal
39:16for New York
39:17this is his 11th game
39:18of the season
39:23and this really is
39:24the sight that you
39:25wanted to see
39:25you know
39:26in this game
39:27a response game
39:28felt like Coach Brown
39:29simplified things
39:30for the team
39:31had some time
39:32to practice
39:33yesterday
39:33was able to have
39:34shoot around today
39:35to get a little
39:36more sharp
39:36and then to see it
39:37come out and happen
39:39in the game
39:39and so credit to
39:40Jalen Brunson
39:42first of all
39:42to have that
39:43incredible first quarter
39:44but you know
39:45to get these guys
39:46some minutes too
39:46it is more meaningful
39:48than people think
39:48that didn't hit the rim
39:50so shot clock violation
39:51and it's not exactly
39:52a back-to-back
39:53but quick turnaround
39:54one o'clock
39:55Eastern time game
39:56against the Spurs
39:57on Sunday
39:58at the Garden
40:00yeah and so
40:00it is good to be able
40:01to not push
40:02all the way
40:03to the end
40:03of this fourth quarter
40:04and look
40:05these are guys
40:05that have done
40:06some great things
40:07in the league
40:08this isn't
40:09a guy like Jordan Clarkson
40:11like you just talked
40:11about Tyler Kolick
40:13that's a little floater
40:14right there
40:14but just to keep
40:15in rhythm
40:16and to be ready
40:17it's something
40:17that you want
40:18as a player
40:18if your name
40:19gets called
40:20if a guy goes down
40:20if a guy needs
40:21to be out
40:21for a minute
40:23to stay sharp
40:24is important
40:25Spurs by the way
40:2611 wins in a row
40:27here's Sohan
40:29missed the three
40:29Jamison the offensive rebound
40:31back to Sohan
40:32for the slam
40:32nice play
40:33from Trey Jamison
40:34yeah really
40:35not even looking
40:36just throwing that
40:36little look
40:37backdoor bounce pass
40:38great pass
40:40he performed well
40:41in the preseason
40:42and not a ton
40:43of minutes early
40:44but when the Knicks
40:44were load managing
40:46Mitchell Robinson
40:47missed the first
40:47four games of the year
40:48including when the Knicks
40:49had a loss here
40:51in October
40:52Jamison wasn't valuable
40:53they're going to call it
40:54travel on Gary Trent
40:57yeah and that's a guy
40:58who started
40:59for this Milwaukee Bucks
41:00team last year
41:01and just kind of
41:02falling out of the rotation
41:03and obviously
41:04it's a different year
41:05for this Bucks team
41:06that was
41:06thought they were
41:07fighting for a championship
41:08for quite a while
41:09and then
41:1011-12 game
41:11losing streak
41:12and all of a sudden
41:12guys like Gary Trent Jr.
41:13fall out of the line
41:14there you go
41:15Tyler knocking it down
41:16plenty to talk about
41:17on the Tri-State
41:18Audi Knicks post game
41:20as you said
41:21a collect connecting
41:22from three
41:24at 36% this year
41:29now Pete Nance
41:31Knicks just saw his
41:32brother Larry Nance Jr.
41:33in Cleveland
41:34a couple of days ago
41:36Jackson into a crowd
41:37got it back
41:39Panacis out to the
41:40cupola
41:40missed the three
41:43Kolek
41:43lead pass for Sohan
41:45off his left hand
41:45out of bounds
41:47yeah and I just love
41:48the willingness
41:49to throw that pass
41:50there's a point
41:50that I think
41:51you hear a lot of people
41:51say like
41:52oh you have this
41:52many turnovers
41:53or your assisted
41:54turnover ratio
41:55is that
41:55but guess what
41:56if you're a guy
41:56out there on the
41:57court like Sohan
41:58running the floor
41:59you might have
42:00got an easy one
42:00right there
42:01you're thinking
42:01throw it
42:02even though he missed it
42:03I hear a lot of coaches
42:04talk about
42:05admiring point guards
42:06who can do that
42:07the look ahead pass
42:09to start a break
42:09quickly
42:10one of Kolek's
42:11best skills
42:13final two minutes
42:14long three
42:15not this time
42:16from Kolek
42:17and then
42:18Jamison foul
42:19Jackson
42:20it's the first
42:21of the final
42:22two minutes
42:22on New York
42:24they will indeed
42:25have a winning
42:26road trip
42:28victories in Chicago
42:29and now Milwaukee
42:31sandwiched around
42:31the loss in Cleveland
42:32on Tuesday
42:34and really one of the
42:36one of the
42:36silver linings
42:38or the things
42:39that kind of went
42:39unnoticed
42:40I feel like
42:40in this game
42:41was
42:41Bo Diawara's
42:4310 points
42:44in his 22 minutes
42:45and in his minutes
42:47outscored
42:48this Bucs team
42:49by 25 points
42:50which I just think
42:50shows
42:51the impact
42:52that a guy has
42:53on both ends
42:53to play those minutes
42:55to be successful
42:56I just love
42:57his look
42:58tonight
42:58there was a lot of guys
42:59doing a lot of stuff
43:00right there
43:00I feel like he went
43:01under the radar
43:02had himself a heck
43:03of a game
43:03it's a great call
43:04in DOR
43:05he's one of
43:05seven Knicks
43:07in double figures
43:08all five starters
43:09had at least 10 points
43:10for the 15th time
43:11this year
43:12as Jackson travels
43:14it's the fourth most
43:16in the NBA
43:17for the Knicks
43:17and we mentioned it
43:19very early
43:19in the broadcast
43:20those five starters
43:21they're going to get
43:22the bulk of the minutes
43:23this is one of the
43:24deepest benches
43:25we've seen in New York
43:26in a long time
43:26but Brunson
43:28Towns
43:29the Wings
43:30Josh Hart
43:31if they get it going
43:32he really can be
43:33the best starting five
43:34in the NBA
43:36yeah you sure
43:36heard Coach Brown
43:37talk about that
43:38recently too
43:39Sid
43:39I believe we can
43:40be a championship team
43:42and obviously
43:42that needs to be
43:43the mindset
43:44as a leader
43:45of this group
43:45but I think
43:46to your point
43:47you also have to
43:47see it happen
43:48you've got to see
43:49that this is
43:49the number one
43:50defensive rated team
43:51over the last 15 games
43:53and another game
43:54where we'll see
43:55what the Bucs
43:55end up with
43:56but holding them
43:57to a hundred
43:57or just under
43:58a hundred points
43:59is meaningful
44:00having a
44:00you know
44:01some guys
44:01with some
44:02offensive outbursts
44:04that matters
44:05inbounding violation
44:06from Kolek
44:07and you're right
44:08to point out
44:08the defense team
44:09because
44:10eight and two
44:11the last ten games
44:11we've said it a lot
44:12for Milwaukee
44:12but their top three
44:14offense without
44:14Giannis Antetokounmpo
44:16again that's the
44:17Nassans
44:17his older brother
44:18for the last 14 games
44:20so
44:21they've been as good
44:22as anybody
44:23on the offensive end
44:24in the month of February
44:26in fact
44:26they're the best
44:27three-point shooting team
44:28in the league this month
44:29and they're at 40% tonight
44:31but
44:32even late
44:33you see a good contest
44:34from Tyler Kolek
44:35trying to keep
44:35the Bucs
44:36under 100 points
44:37tonight
44:40like Portie
44:40looking to hand off
44:41to Sohan
44:45three from Clarkson
44:46two strong
44:48rebound
44:48winds up
44:49with Trent
44:57final half minute
44:58here in Milwaukee
44:59one-legged shot
45:00from Gary Harris
45:01lines up with Sohan
45:04that great
45:0548-minute effort
45:06really a lot sharper
45:08coach Brown
45:09like you said
45:10has just got to be
45:11proud of these guys
45:11the three-point shooting
45:12the offense
45:13all of that helps
45:14you go from Cleveland
45:14making 10 threes
45:15to tonight making 21
45:17yeah that matters
45:18but it was
45:19a lot of different things
45:20a lot of different guys
45:21and that's the response
45:22you wanted to see
45:23to not the best game
45:24of the year
45:24last game
45:25stay tuned for the
45:26Tri-State Audi
45:27Knicks post game
45:28let's say all about
45:29an incredible win
45:31for the Knicks
45:32final score
45:33127-98
45:35they hit their second
45:36most three-pointers
45:37this season
45:3821 triples tonight
45:40on a night
45:41where they needed it
45:41two days off to stew
45:43on that disappointing
45:44effort in Cleveland
45:46and now
45:47they have once again
45:48proven they are capable
45:49of nights like tonight
45:51as we look at the
45:53experience amazing play
45:54it's presented by Lexus
45:56the official luxury vehicle
45:57of the New York Knicks
45:59and OG Ananobi
46:00just one of his many
46:01fine performances tonight
46:02he did a great job
46:04especially starting
46:05that second half
46:06thought it was some
46:07three-pointers
46:07but it was the
46:08defense like that
46:09just piling on
46:11keeping the lead
46:12never letting
46:12this Bucs team
46:13to creep back in
46:1827 from Brunson
46:19all but five of those
46:21points coming in
46:21the first quarter
46:22Ananobi had 24
46:24and Karl-Anthony Towns
46:25a very efficient
46:2617 and 13
46:27he hit another
46:29double-double
46:30he's been
46:30top three
46:31in the NBA
46:32all year
46:34take another look
46:35at the upcoming
46:35schedule for the Knicks
46:36Spurs on Sunday
46:38back-to-back
46:39at Toronto
46:40home OKC
46:41then a trip out west
46:43Denver
46:44LA twice
46:46Utah
46:47and Indiana
46:49last time the Knicks
46:50went to Indiana
46:51it was just after
46:51the NBA Cup
46:52they needed a Jalen
46:53Brunson game winner
46:54in the final second
46:55so I don't see any
46:56games on that schedule
46:58you could mark off
46:59as wins already
47:01never easy out west
47:03but we're gonna find
47:04out a whole lot
47:05about this Knicks team
47:06by this time
47:07next week
47:09they improved
47:10to 38 and 22
47:11with tonight's win
47:16and yet another
47:17impressive performance
47:18to win the season
47:20series
47:20over the Bucs
47:21for a second
47:22consecutive season
47:25big part of that
47:26was OG
47:27Ananobi
47:2724 points
47:28OG
47:29it's Tyler Murray
47:30and Steve Novak

47:43difference tonight
47:43just looking at the
47:44box score
47:45and seeing seven
47:45different guys
47:46in double figures
47:48including yourself
47:48what was the energy
47:50the shift
47:51what was the difference
47:51tonight

47:53probably just ball
47:54movement

48:03and everyone having
48:04confidence in each other

48:07all-star break
48:08and coming off the
48:08injury
48:09how are you feeling
48:10and how satisfying
48:11was tonight's 24-point
48:12performance
