04:49Пейтон, watch it out there to guard
04:51Lucas, so this is an opportunity to try to get a good win on the road
04:53but the Nuggets are going to come out and try to get a win
04:55because they know where they are in the standings
04:57Yeah, I want to see the end of the game
04:58if the game is close, I want to see how
05:01the Lakers 3 is going to be able to guard against
05:03you know, I mean
05:05what is it, Jokic, Jim, and Murray
05:07at the pick and roll at the end of the game, that is one of the most dangerous
05:09combos in the league, so you know
05:11with their struggles, I want to see how they guard that
05:12And on the other end, I want to see how Joker
05:15and Murray guard down the stretch
05:16because I've been watching them and I saw this in the Utah game
05:19they were put into action in the pick and roll
05:20and every time George wanted to, he got downhill against those guys
05:23I know they carry a hell of a load offensively
05:25but they got to be able to get some stops down the stretch
05:27because people are going to go at them
05:28So y'all saying it's probably going to be the opposite of the game before
05:31like, there's going to be a lot of scoring
05:34We definitely going to get some scoring
05:35There's going to be a lot of scoring
05:36All right, a tip-off is just ahead from Denver
05:39Luka and the Lakers taking on Jokic and the Nuggets
05:42We'll get you out to the game right after this
05:53Welcome to the NBA on Prime
05:59Big time flush
06:05Step back
06:06From downtown
06:07Bullseye
06:10Pop it up
06:11Slip it down
06:20Welcome to the NBA on Prime
06:22Presented by Wingstop
06:24Tonight the Los Angeles Lakers
06:26and the Denver Nuggets
06:27from the Mile High City Ball Arena
06:34Moments away from the opening tip
06:35Let's check out the starting lineups
06:37presented by Disney Cruise Line
06:44And first for the Los Angeles Lakers
06:49team that has won three in a row
06:51coming off the victory over New Orleans on Tuesday night
06:54It's Aiden, Reeves, Doncic, LeBron, and Marcus Smart
06:58who's having a terrific season defensively for J.J. Redick and company
07:05and the Denver Nuggets
07:08Najee, Murray, Jokic, Brown, and Strother
07:12Aaron Gordon expected to be back tomorrow night
07:16in the second half of the back-to-back
07:17as Denver hosts the New York Knicks
07:22David Adelman
07:23This team has dealt with so many injuries
07:26so throughout the season they've had to figure out ways to manufacture wins
07:33LeBron James always a spectacle
07:36no matter what arena he appears in
07:38and a record that should go down tonight
07:42with J.J. Redick's squad
07:44trying to find that consistency
07:48and also trying to set themselves up for the postseason
07:52Lakers come in sixth in the Western Conference
07:55they're a half game behind the Denver Nuggets
07:58Iron Eagle, Steve Nash, Dan Van Gundy
08:00Cassidy Hubbard
08:01and the rest of our NBA on Prime crew
08:06there has been improvement
08:08statistically for the Lakers
08:10the question is
08:11can they get to the place
08:12where they can be a real factor come postseason
08:15they need time
08:16they need time together
08:17and this is the stretch to do it
08:18you know they're going to play a lot of
08:19conference foes down the stretch here
08:21and I think those games are going to be important for them to find themselves
08:25and Denver's got the most challenging schedule the rest of the way in the NBA
08:28they do
08:29I think if Denver can get home
08:32this might be the best team in the NBA
08:34wow
08:36opening tip
08:36controlled by the Nuggets
08:39Ed Molloy
08:40Justin Van Dyne
08:41and
08:42Deidre Taylor
08:43our officiating crew
08:45here tonight
08:47Denver going to win
08:48over Utah
08:49on Monday night
08:50had to come from behind to do it
08:51Murray tosses it up
08:52and he's fouled
08:53Murray had 45 points
08:56and 8 assists
08:57in that victory
08:58he's going to the free throw line
08:5919 seconds in
09:01well and that's rare
09:03the Lakers do not foul much
09:05that's the one thing defensively
09:07that they probably are the best at
09:10third in the league
09:11only giving up
09:1221 free throw attempts a game
09:14and we're
09:1619 seconds in
09:17and Murray's at the line
09:20and he's at the line
09:22for three free throws
09:23as Austin Reeves
09:24picks up the personal
09:28Murray
09:29named an all-star
09:30first time in his career
09:31certainly validation for him
09:34like most of us
09:36around the NBA
09:36thought
09:37he was an all-star
09:38he just hadn't
09:39gotten the official title
09:40yeah well deserved
09:41he's had a terrific year
09:43they played very well
09:44without Nicole Yoke
09:45it's largely because of
09:46Jamal Murray
09:46but
09:47on the
09:47the basis of his entire career
09:49he's
09:50deserving
09:50but this year in particular
09:52he's been
09:52it's been his best year
09:54I think he's missed
09:55in the other years
09:56because he was always a guy
09:57who was at his best
09:58at the end of the year
10:00and in the playoffs
10:00and the all-star don'ts come in
10:03for the first half of the year
10:04as Denver team
10:06leads the NBA
10:07in scoring
10:07at 120.5 points per game
10:10they're number one
10:11in offensive rating
10:17both teams ran
10:18basically the same play
10:19to start the game
10:28swing at the corner
10:30Murray
10:30against Dayton
10:31Jokic
10:32to go
10:33well that two-man game scheme
10:35just puts you
10:36in such a dilemma
10:38there they switch it
10:39now Jokic has the size advantage
10:42inside
10:42and Murray gets it to him
10:44those two guys are great together
10:46the pull-up pop
10:47it bounces off the rim
10:49for Reeves
10:51Strother pushing the pace
10:55want to get Denver shorthanded
10:57so Strother has been
10:58in the starting lineup
10:59Valachutis actually started
11:00the other night
11:01tonight it's Nachi
11:02two-man game
11:03deflection
11:03and it's out of bounds
11:06and last touch
11:07by Dutch
11:08who is okay
11:10here it is
11:11this two-man game
11:12they drew the switch
11:13but now Jokic
11:15just posts deep
11:16on Austin Reeves
11:18who already had one foul
11:19so didn't even
11:20offer much resistance
11:22I think we'll say
11:23a wise decision
11:24not to
11:24draw his second
11:26this early
11:27Murray
11:27counts it
11:28from long range
11:298-0 lead for Denver
11:31another two-man action
11:36initiating the offense
11:38LeBron
11:39nice feet inside
11:40Aiden can't finish it
11:43up ahead
11:44Brown
11:45pedal to the middle
11:46the layup doesn't go
11:47it went through the hands
11:48of Strother
11:49and now it's the Lakers
11:50in transition
11:52Dutch
11:52he was looking for LeBron
11:55ball gets deflected
11:57Smart handles it
11:5812 to shoot
12:01LA looking for its first points
12:03Dutch just whipped it
12:04in the direction of LeBron
12:06but it ended up with
12:07Dalton Kinect
12:08yeah that was
12:09he was open
12:10Dalton was
12:11he was
12:12Dalton was open
12:13unfortunately
12:14he was not in the game
12:15okay
12:15well you're just
12:16nitpicking now
12:21rough start for the Lakers
12:22Denver trying to take advantage
12:28Christian Brown
12:29he was injured earlier in the season
12:33Jokic driving kick
12:35Brown at shooting practice
12:38that might have been a little too unselfish Steve
12:40Jokic right at the rim against Austin Reeves
12:43and kicks it out
12:44but that's why guys love playing with him
12:46and it certainly builds the team chemistry that you want to have
12:52LeBron right on one with Najee
12:54they'll line it up
12:56and the rebound to Brown
12:59Lakers are 0-4 from the field
13:06Jokic on an island with Aiden
13:0910 to shoot
13:11Murray
13:12his jump shot
13:13it's pure
13:15timeout LA
13:1611-0 to start
13:19and Murray's got 9 points
13:21the Jamal Murray show
13:24early
13:27anything they've wanted
13:29raise up
13:30and money
13:30from a terrific
13:32perimeter score
13:36downtown
13:36splash
13:37oh and the nifty lay-in
13:43Murray too good
13:44gets to the interior
13:46and then goes down hard
13:522026 NBA All-Star
13:54Jamal Murray
13:55averaging 25.7 points per game
13:57shooting it at 48%
13:59three-point shooting at 43%
14:01he's doing it
14:02in the assist category as well
14:05and right now it's 11-0
14:07Denver
14:08Lakers still trying to get on the board
14:10Doddridge can't
14:11but a foul
14:14ticky-tack
14:15but uh
14:16Denver's done a great job
14:18limiting the Lakers paint touches
14:19this far
14:21again not necessarily a clean
14:23route to the basket
14:24but was able to
14:25catch someone with their hand
14:27in the cookie jar there
14:28yeah David Adelman had that
14:30look on his face
14:31really
14:33it's a foul
14:34it is on Murray
14:35but he talked about that with us
14:37before the game
14:38he didn't want those reaches
14:40in the paint to just bail him out
14:42you gotta make him make that shot
14:47and a long pause here
14:50finally we will resume
14:52Doncic was asking for the ball
14:548.52
14:55Lakers are yet to score
15:05a tight little space here to get in
15:07and yeah he does get touched
15:09not sure that an impact
15:11but letter of the law
15:12got him on the arm
15:13I guess so
15:16calls like that
15:17help you lead the league
15:18in free throw attempts
15:19that's for sure
15:20one out of two
15:22for Doncic
15:23playing in his 500
15:25regular season game
15:2911-1 Denver
15:32Murray's been unstoppable
15:34so far
15:37Jokic turns on Aiden
15:39skips it
15:41for the Strother jumper
15:42short
15:48Docic operating against Strother
15:51and ill-advised
15:53was he gonna shoot it
15:54was he gonna pass it
15:54tried to pass it
15:55oh
15:56Brock on the Euro
15:58but the result was not there
16:00now Brown missed
16:01that's the second time
16:02he's missed in transition
16:03but he might be the best runner
16:05in the NBA
16:06LeBron James
16:08first field goal of the night
16:10for Los Angeles
16:12but off a made basket
16:14Denver
16:14gets down the floor
16:16to hurry
16:16and it's Christian Brown
16:18thank you Christian
16:18right after I called
16:20to the best runner
16:20in the NBA
16:21he might say
16:22I love when you guys
16:23do that Steve
16:24it looks good
16:26I'm sure that was
16:27on his mind
16:27as the ball ricochets
16:29back out
16:31for Reeves
16:31Smart drives in
16:33floats it up
16:34and it doesn't go down
16:36a trap down by Smart
16:37and Strother
16:38hands to Murray
16:39very so far
16:42nine of Denver's
16:43thirteen points
16:44and a ten point advantage
16:46for the Nuggets
16:47Strother
16:47off balance
16:48tough angle
16:49and a chance for three
16:52beautiful finish
16:53tricky finish
16:54off the glass there
16:56with contact
16:56but again
16:57playing those split game
16:59cuts off Nikola Jokic
17:01eight and a little late
17:02gets caught out of position
17:04and
17:04really clever finish
17:06off the glass
17:07well Strother
17:08as a starter
17:09this is only his
17:09twelfth start
17:10but averaging
17:11almost thirteen a game
17:13as a starter
17:13when shooting
17:14just under fifty percent
17:17he tacks off
17:18a free throw
17:19to put Denver
17:20in front
17:21sixteen to three
17:23I'd like to start
17:24alongside Nikola Jokic
17:26to get some good
17:26opportunities
17:27you are kidding
17:28I mean
17:29a lot of guys
17:31have had their best years
17:32playing with that guy
17:33did you just
17:34announce a comeback
17:36my back just got tight
17:39off the mark
17:40Reeves
17:41Jackson Hughes is in
17:42replacing DeAndre
17:44early offense
17:45Najee misses
17:46on the finger roll
17:47the Lakers have dodged
17:49some blood
17:49yes
17:50they haven't converted
17:50but defensive transition
17:52has been a problem
17:52this far
17:53James sizing up
17:55Najee
17:57isolation
17:58LeBron
17:59still a feed
18:01Pays attacks
18:02and he's fouled

18:03so that's number two
18:04on Jamal Murray
18:05free throws
18:06here for Jackson Hayes
18:08that was just a beautiful
18:10pass from LeBron
18:10Hayes found a little
18:12pocket of space
18:13great delivery
18:14and then went hard
18:15to the bucket
18:15which is important
18:16don't go up there
18:17and try to finesse
18:18your way in here
18:19give yourself a chance
18:20to at least get to the line

18:22and you get a chance
18:23to play with
18:24Donchik's
18:24LeBron James

19:07Jokic gives it away
19:09Dungeons love it
19:10LeBron James
19:11big finish
19:12he has just tied
19:15Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
19:16for the all-time
19:18NBA record
19:19field goals made
19:21Strother
19:22push on
19:23no
19:24Jokic
19:24clean activity
19:25for Nikola Jokic
19:27there's that killer
19:28back breaking
19:29offensive rebound
19:30after he passes it
19:31around the gym
19:32shoots it all over the place
19:33and then gets an
19:34offensive rebound
19:35makes their offense
19:37really difficult to go
19:38Reeves gets fouled
19:40on the pass
19:41so
19:41Lakers will have it
19:43on the side
19:43well at 41 years old
19:45look at LeBron James
19:45run the floor
19:46Clever from Luka
19:47holds an extra dribble
19:49because he sees he can
19:49give it to LeBron at the rim
19:51and he delivers
19:52and gives LeBron
19:53his easiest
19:54of maybe his
19:55billion field goals
19:58career wide
20:0018-7
20:02Denver
20:03LeBron Jokic
20:04he won
20:05bounces
20:06up ahead
20:08intercepted by Reeves
20:10the outrun for Jokic
20:13Reeves to the rim
20:14and nobody home
20:17that's Reeves' first bucket
20:18and I know
20:19they really want to get
20:20hit and going
20:21he's sort of struggled
20:23being the third meal
20:24since they've had
20:25everybody back
20:26as you should
20:27weigh down
20:28for a guy who likes to have
20:29the ball
20:29on his hands
20:31Reeves missed the first
20:32meeting with a cap screen
20:35taking a baseline
20:37Nikola Jokic
20:37creating
20:38on the interior
20:39too big
20:40and too skilled
20:41when they score
20:42they can get back
20:43and set their defense
20:44Denver
20:44which has been good
20:45tonight
20:45but when they turn it over
20:46they've given them
20:46two easy layups
20:51Jokic
20:51book it
20:52Stan
20:53I think you've got to
20:53live with some of those
20:54don't foul
20:55don't force it
20:56inside the three-point line
20:57keep him off the rim
20:59he'll live with some of those
21:01for Luka Doncic
21:02if he's not getting layups
21:04free throws
21:04and threes
21:06yeah he's got to
21:07take all of those
21:08and he's going to make some
21:09okay
21:09and the takeaway
21:11Doncic took a shot
21:12to the face
21:13at the end of the play
21:14and a foul
21:16will be called
21:16on Jokic
21:17and that's Jokic's
21:19third turnover
21:20already too
21:22that's six points
21:23five rebounds
21:24and two assists
21:25but his third turnover
21:27I think his third turnover
21:28in four possessions
21:29as well
21:30which has kind of
21:31stunted their momentum

25:02that David Adelman
25:03wanted to avoid

26:20so

26:29that's classified information
26:31inside
26:32Hayes can't finish it
26:33with the offhand

26:38swing it
26:39down
26:40to strong
26:41another transition opportunity
26:44they didn't convert on

27:34Jokic sits
27:35Vanderbilt
27:36into the game
27:37for LA
27:40it'll be interesting to see
27:42with Jokic out
27:44if we see a little bit
27:45of the Lakers zone
27:48Jokic is passing
27:49such a threat
27:50that they don't want
27:51to use it against him
27:52but when he's out
27:53of the game
27:54we may see it some
27:56Vanderbilt will check in
27:57next to that ball
27:59two minutes to go
28:04Hardaway
28:05fade away
28:06goes down
28:07Hardaway is making
28:09shots
28:09when he's shooting
28:11like that
28:11not only shooting
28:12it creating
28:13like that for this team
28:14especially with
28:15Nikola Jokic
28:16and Jamal Murray
28:18on the bench
28:18that gives this team
28:19a huge boost
28:20LaRavia's jumper
28:21is off
28:22one and done
28:23for the Lakers
28:28Brown picked up
28:29by the big
28:29that means
28:30Hachi Moore
28:30is dealing
28:31with Valanchunas
28:33tend to shoot
28:34and Jones' pass
28:35was errant
28:36out of bounds
28:37really poor angle
28:39on that pass
28:40the dribble
28:41needed to go
28:42the other way
28:42toward the baseline
28:43to open up that pass
28:45one of the things
28:46there's so few
28:47post-ups now
28:48in the game
28:48Steve
28:49that post-passing
28:51is something
28:52has declined
28:53in the league
28:54as skilled
28:55as everybody is
28:56it's not something
28:57they do very often
28:58absolutely
29:00LeBron James
29:01back in
29:02pick it roll
29:03pick it roll
29:05pick it roll
29:05and Luka Doncic
29:06will get a breather
29:09James one-on-one
29:10with Brown
29:11swing it
29:11Kanar
29:13steps through
29:14and he travels
29:19well supple defeat
29:20but another example
29:21of how Kanar
29:21can not only shoot
29:22the three
29:22but get in the gaps
29:23there
29:24and look like
29:24he had a chance
29:25to make that
29:25but also make a play
29:26for others
29:27so I really like
29:28what he's added
29:28to this Lakers
29:29offense
29:29absolutely
29:30when he gets
29:31in close to the
29:32basket
29:32even on the
29:33floater game
29:34he prefers his
29:35right hand
29:36Ryan and I have talked
29:37he was a great
29:39high school quarterback
29:40major college recruit
29:42right handed
29:43Steve as a quarterback
29:45that doesn't make sense
29:46it doesn't make sense
29:47the only thing he has
29:49done in sports
29:50left handed
29:50is shoot his jump shot
29:52and he might be the best
29:53left handed shooter
29:54in the history of the NBA
29:56team Chris Mullin
29:58in my opinion
29:59Hachimura
30:00Boyce
30:02kick for
30:03Laravia
30:03just missed a three
30:04and misses that one
30:0744 seconds to go
30:08here on the first
30:15now Hachimura
30:16gets a touch
30:17he's defended by
30:18Vanderbilt
30:19he will take
30:19and miss the jumper
30:21but
30:21go to the free throw line
30:23foul on
30:24Vanderbilt
30:25that's an inexcusable
30:26foul
30:26I mean if you
30:28if you're on the
30:29Laker bench
30:30and that's the shot
30:31Denver
30:32Denver's the best
30:33offensive team
30:34in the league
30:34if that's the shot
30:36you can get them to take
30:37you want to live with that
30:38and you foul him on that
30:40doesn't make any sense
30:42inside the three-point line
30:4417 feet from the basket
30:46you're up pressuring
30:47you've got a great contest
30:49just have the discipline
30:51to be happy
30:52with a contest
30:53and not a block here
30:55don't even try to block it
30:57he just reached forward
30:58and he can't
30:59do that
31:00I mean the guy's gonna
31:01follow through
31:03right into your arm
31:04you've got to be
31:05straight up there
31:08and Balanchun is a very good
31:10free throw shooting big
31:1178% of the season
31:1479% in his career
31:178 second different
31:18shot clock the game
31:19so he's having a bad year
31:20yeah no
31:21it's been a little off
31:22by his standards
31:26outside in Arabia
31:27swing it
31:30LeBron
31:30one-on-one with
31:32Najee
31:33off the back end
31:34James
31:35turn around
31:36he's got it
31:37another record
31:39in the legendary
31:40career
31:41of LeBron James
31:43most field goals
31:44in NBA history
31:46passing
31:47Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
31:53the rejection by James
31:55Brown
31:56the backer
31:56no
31:57and that
31:59is the end
32:00of one
32:02LeBron James
32:03the king
32:05reigns supreme
32:07an assault
32:09on the record books
32:10every night

32:45start of the second
32:46Codnard
32:47with a high
32:48arcing three
32:49to get the scoring
32:50started
32:51a great
32:52ATO
32:53coming out of the
32:54corner there
32:54ball went side to side
32:56flare screen
32:57LeBron with a great
32:58delivery
32:58and Codnard
32:59beautiful
33:00Bobby and Jess
33:01he's a pure shooter
33:03but as you said
33:04can do other things
33:05too
33:05can get in the paint
33:06can pass the ball
33:09good job
33:10very defensively
33:11Murray though
33:12gets to a spot
33:14he's comfortable
33:15at
33:15basically all of them
33:16we'll live with that
33:18defense from Kareem
33:19but Murray just
33:20talent takes over
33:21sometimes
33:2234-25
33:24Denver
33:26Marabia
33:27the lane opens up
33:28he adjusts
33:29comes up short
33:30with a left hand
33:31Denver converged
33:32the feed
33:33Brown
33:34could not slam it down
33:36out of bounds
33:41Bruce Brown
33:42feels like he got
33:43fouled
33:45they are beating
33:46the Lakers
33:47down the floor
33:48they're just not able
33:49to convert
33:50and LeBron James
33:52just had a block
33:53at the rim
33:54and just made
33:55Bruce miss a dunk
33:56at 41 years old
33:57this incredible
33:58transition defense
33:59in year 23
34:02of the NBA
34:02Kennard pull up
34:03job
34:04long rebound
34:06grabbed by
34:07Hardaway
34:12these are these
34:13all-important
34:14non-yokic minutes
34:15for Denver
34:16we talked about it
34:18before the game
34:19in the opening
34:20big problem
34:22when he goes
34:22to the bench
34:24the herky-jerky
34:26moves from Murray
34:26missed it
34:27Valanchun has tried
34:29to knock it up
34:29in the air
34:30but the Lakers
34:31control
34:31smart with a skimmer
34:32and it's too low
34:33well disappointed
34:34to turn it over there
34:35but another decent
34:36possession from
34:37Kennard
34:37decent good possession
34:38Kennard
34:38defensively
34:39on Jamal Murray
34:41Luke Kennard
34:42has made
34:43quite an impression
34:44Cassidy
34:44has more
34:46on an emerging
34:47nickname
34:48for Kennard
34:49Cassidy
34:49yeah one phrase
34:50you may hear
34:51JJ Reddick use
34:52a lot
34:52when talking about
34:53Luke Kennard
34:54is he starts
34:54the blender
34:55which means
34:58Kennard's
34:58off-ball movement
34:59the cutting
35:00the screening
35:00the quick passing
35:01that gets the defense
35:02shifting
35:02and opening things
35:03up for everyone else
35:04Reddick said
35:04this team
35:05hasn't had many
35:06blender starters
35:06guys who can trigger
35:07that type of ball
35:08movement
35:09but Luke told me
35:10he hadn't heard
35:11that term before
35:11but likes the
35:12description
35:12because it doesn't
35:13put him in one
35:14category
35:14like just a shooter
35:15it's indication
35:16that he's viewed
35:17he's capable of
35:18doing more for the team
35:18he's certainly proved
35:19that so far guys
35:20and I feel like
35:21his time with the
35:22Lakers maybe has
35:23opened some eyes
35:24around the NBA
35:25that he is a lot
35:26more than just a shooter
35:27well yeah he is
35:29but he's been
35:29the best three-point shooter
35:31in the league
35:32since he's come
35:34into the league
35:3850% from downtown
35:39this season
35:40Kennard is now
35:42on the bench
35:42LeBron James
35:44upset at the call
35:45that was made
35:46an offensive foul
35:47out front
35:49on Marcus Smart

39:58to cut it to 7
40:00Murray
40:01put it upstairs

40:04by Reeves
40:04ends up
40:05in the hands
40:06of Strother
40:07contact
40:07and it's going
40:09the other way
40:11great job
40:11by Austin Reeves
40:13there
40:13taking the charge
40:15on the baseline
40:18yeah that is
40:19the 7th
40:20Denver turnover
40:21yeah a little bit
40:22of a lazy pass
40:23there from Jamal Murray
40:24great
40:25good run out
40:26by Jackson Hayes
40:27and Marcus
40:27Smart with a beautiful pass
40:28well
40:30already like
40:30Iain said
40:317 turnovers
40:32for a team
40:33in Denver
40:33it's 3rd in the league
40:34they had only
40:3513 turnovers a game
40:37Dojic
40:38that is off
40:39one leg
40:40Luka Dojic
40:41has cut it to 5
40:4310-0
40:44spurt
40:45for LA
40:45it's kind of unfair
40:47like he's playing

40:49or something
40:50Murray
40:51excuse me
40:54not going to
40:55count
40:58it'll be on the side
40:59for Jamal Murray
41:06I did not see him
41:07blow that whistle
41:08before the gather
41:10I'm going to be honest
41:11the foul might have been
41:12but if so
41:14he was a little late
41:15on the whistle
41:16I think that bucket
41:17should have counted
41:17second foul
41:19on Marcus Smart
41:21Murray
41:22kick at the 3
41:24and James
41:25snags it

42:01out here
42:02and how big is that
42:03for Bruce Brown
42:04to make a corner 3
42:05that's what
42:07Jokic does
42:07draw so much attention
42:08some of his teammates
42:09have got to step up

42:11and this

46:59extended
46:59and somehow
47:00still able
47:01to get it there
47:02on target
47:03beautiful finish
47:04and a very
47:05unorthodox
47:06shot
47:07especially at his size
47:09K6
47:10we have not seen
47:11Aiden since
47:13four minutes
47:14into the first quarter
47:17Murray
47:19off the rim
47:20well JJ talked to us
47:22before the game
47:23about Marcus Smart's
47:23defense recently
47:24and another great
47:25possession
47:25forcing Murray
47:26into a very difficult
47:28quick three
47:30Kachimura
47:30open look
47:31got him
47:32he's just shot it
47:33well all year
47:35I think his defense
47:37has not been as strong
47:38as it needs to be
47:39for them
47:40but he has
47:41really shot the ball
47:43well
47:43when you're playing
47:44with shot creators
47:45like the Lakers have
47:47having guys like
47:48he and Kennard
47:48are huge
47:49Lakers are shooting 67%
47:52in the second quarter
47:53and they trail by nine
47:55ball fake
47:56Murray short
47:57tapped up in the air
47:58claimed by Hachimura
47:59yeah they're shooting 67%
48:01quarter
48:02and they've outscored the Lakers
48:03by one
48:04in the quarter
48:06Donchich goes behind the back
48:09return feet
48:10from Hachimura
48:12eight to shoot
48:13under three minutes
48:14to go first half
48:16Donchich
48:17ridiculous
48:18oh stop it
48:21again just
48:22the size
48:23you know
48:24the strength
48:25he can't get
48:26tight enough
48:27to block that shot
48:29it's kind of a cheat code
48:30gets him out of the jail
48:32great hustle
48:33Boston Reeves
48:34Hachimura
48:35was broken up
48:36Reeves diving on the floor
48:38eight nothing
48:38run for L.A.
48:40that's Jokic's
48:41fourth turnover
48:42of the night
48:43Donchich swing
48:44through the hands
48:45of Smart
48:45and he's grabbing his hand
48:47Strother
48:48to the rim
48:49and Smart's in some pain
48:51I think he popped his thumb
48:54on that catch
48:57spilled it
48:58hopefully he's okay
49:01trying to play through it
49:02right now
49:03Reeves will use the screen
49:04from Smart
49:08he gets rid of it
49:11Hachimura
49:11extra
49:12jumper
49:14Kaboom
49:15Stan
49:15you think that's the time
49:16not to rotate to Smart
49:17with his thumb falling off
49:19and leave Luke Kinnard
49:20absolutely
49:21best left-handed shooter
49:23ever
49:24shout out to Chris Mullen
49:26Luke Kinnard
49:27has helped fuel
49:29the Lakers comeback
49:31point blank
49:32and it's Jokic
49:34with the lay-in
49:3859-52
49:39Denver
49:40a minute 24 to go
49:42in the second quarter
49:43Kinnard
49:44touch him
49:44knock away
49:47Kinnard loses his footing
49:48break opportunity
49:49Murray
49:51goes cross
49:52Strother
49:53bottom
49:54a three
49:54wow
49:56that's a tenth made three
49:59they are
50:00ten of eighteen
50:02from downtown
50:03you know how important
50:04that is
50:04when you play with
50:05Nikola Jokic
50:06it creates so much attention
50:08Jamal Murray as well
50:09when the role players
50:10make threes
50:11it just spaces the floor
50:13puts the defense in such
50:14an impossible position
50:16and Smart just tried to
50:18pass it to Kinnard
50:20underneath
50:20Kinnard thought it was
50:21going to be a jump shot
50:22I'm not sure Smart can
50:23take a jump shot
50:24and he's now
50:25on the bench
50:25replaced by LeBron
50:28eighth
50:29Laker turnover
50:30he's still
50:31trying to work that
50:33right hand
50:35well and what's disturbing
50:36about having eight turnovers
50:38in the first half
50:39against Denver
50:39Denver forces
50:41the fewest turnovers
50:42in the league
50:43only twelve a game
50:46Strother
50:47off the rack
50:48weak side rebound
50:50to
50:51Darchus
50:53early offense
50:54broken up by Hardaway
50:55and deflected
50:57out of bounds
50:58that's the Lakers
50:59love that in transition
51:01when they have a size
51:01advantage
51:02to run to the rim
51:03and seal
51:04Hardaway does a nice job
51:05breaking that one
51:06up and Bruce Brown
51:08is going to come back
51:11and he will replace
51:13Strother
51:2237.8 on the clock
51:31in for Darchus
51:33against Jokic
51:34turns the corner
51:35couldn't finish
51:39eight seconds
51:40differential
51:41shot clock
51:42the game clock
51:42winding down
51:43in this first half
51:45I think we'll see
51:46a two-man game
51:47guys
51:47I think so
51:48just maybe

53:49Jamal Murray
53:5020 points
53:504 threes
53:51on fire
53:52yet again
53:52for the Nuggets
53:53yeah he's been
53:54playing at
53:54all-star level
53:55all year
53:55averaging almost
53:5626 points
53:57a game
53:577 assists
53:58almost 49%
53:59from the field
53:59but he just
54:00got it going
54:01early
54:01like
54:01got Yogi
54:02out there
54:02come off
54:03this handoff
54:03wide open three
54:04so he's been
54:05playing at
54:05all-star level
54:06he feel like
54:06he should have
54:06been an all-star
54:07couple years
54:07before that
54:08but when he
54:09gets it going
54:09and on top
54:10of getting
54:10his 5 assists
54:11he's one of
54:12the best
54:12guys in the league
54:14just on another
54:15level
54:15I mean
54:15with Jokic
54:16playing with Jokic
54:18Lakers
54:18have been crowding
54:19him a lot
54:19he has 4 turnovers
54:20but when he does
54:21get the ball out
54:22he makes assists
54:23he also has 6 assists
54:246 assists
54:2410 points
54:266 rebounds
54:27having a pretty good
54:28game other than
54:29the turnovers
54:29yeah and Jokic
54:30came into tonight
54:31leading the NBA
54:32in assists
54:32and rebounds
54:33has 22 triple
54:34doubles this season
54:35so we'll see what
54:35he's able to do
54:36tonight
54:36but shifting our
54:37attention to the
54:38Lakers
54:38Luka of course
54:39has 15 points
54:40in the first half
54:40but he also picked
54:41up his 15th tech
54:43this season
54:44one away from
54:45a game suspension
54:46how can Luka
54:47better balance
54:48and control that passion
54:50that we know
54:50makes him great
54:51but at worst
54:52can be a detriment
54:53to the team
54:53I think for Luka
54:54and we spoke about
54:55this before the game
54:56but he's conquered
54:57the conditioning
54:58part of things
54:59this is a step
55:00by step process
55:01for Luka
55:01to becoming a champion
55:02there's this thing
55:02we talk about
55:03is act like a champion
55:04before you become
55:05a champion
55:06so for me
55:06he's conquered
55:07the conditioning
55:08part of it
55:08the next step
55:09is to be able
55:10to lock in
55:11for 48 minutes
55:12to where nobody
55:13or nothing
55:14can take you
55:14off your A game
55:15I've been around
55:16some great players
55:17and I'm telling you
55:18you have a chance
55:19when you're on
55:19the other side
55:20when these guys
55:20start to focus
55:21in on the refs
55:22focusing on things
55:23that do not matter
55:24and they cannot
55:25be their best version
55:25even if it's
55:26for three seconds
55:27three minutes
55:27into a game
55:28you lose focus
55:29you cannot afford
55:30to lose focus
55:30especially when you're
55:31trying to compete
55:32for a championship
55:32once again
55:33you have to get
55:34to a place
55:34where nothing matters
55:35the referees
55:36can't help you
55:37and can't hurt us
55:37I think if Luka
55:38takes that next step
55:39then his teammates
55:40will follow
55:41but once again
55:41he is 27 years old
55:42as a basketball player
55:44and these guys
55:44will tell you
55:44sitting up here
55:45right now
55:45between 27
55:4630 to 31
55:47is when you're
55:48hitting your prime
55:48as a basketball player
55:49so as great as
55:50he is right now
55:50there's still room
55:51for growth
55:52and this is one
55:52of the areas
55:53he has to grow
55:53fast in
55:54yeah and I feel
55:55like also on top
55:55of we know
55:56how special
55:57he is offensively
55:57the other thing
55:58when you turn
55:59the ball over
55:59you don't get
56:00the call you want
56:00you're complaining
56:01to the ref

56:02two seconds
56:02they're out
56:03the other team
56:04is gone
