00:00Вы не можете обратиться на дефицит,
00:01ваша команда sees это.
00:01То есть, чтобы быть лидер,
00:02вы должны быть лидер на двух местах.
00:03И это домино-эффект.
00:04Если он не может обратиться на следующий
00:06плей, кто-то не может обратиться,
00:07и кто-то не может обратиться.
00:08И если вы не говорите о Лука,

01:5964-54
02:01Iron Eagles, Steve Nash, Stan Van Gundy
02:03Cassidy Hubbard, the rest of our NBA
02:05On Prime crew, 10 point game
02:06Lakers came from behind, Denver the 1-2
02:09Punch once again. Yeah, they led by as many
02:11As 15 and Jamal
02:13Murray continues his torrid
02:15Run, 20 points in the first
02:17Half. Alright, let's check out the first half
02:19Stats, they're brought to you by Kia
02:20What stands out for you, Steve Nash?
02:23Well, 3 point shooting for sure from
02:25Denver, Jamal, as you said, Stan
02:2620 points, 4 3 pointers
02:28But it's so important for those role players to
02:31Make a few, to create space
02:32For that 2 man game, or Nikola
02:34Jokic's bully ball, where he can just
02:37Put the defense in such impossible
02:39Positions, how much help do I give?
02:41Because if I don't come, you're getting to the rim
02:42If I do come, 3 pointers
02:44And let's take a look at some of these
02:46Denver 3's, watch these first
02:484 here, from Jokic
02:51To Murray
02:55From Jokic to Christian
02:56Brown
02:58From Jokic to Hardaway
03:03From Jokic
03:05To Bruce Brown
03:06And then Murray will just create one
03:09On his own
03:11And knock it down
03:12And moments ago, Cassidy Hubbard
03:15With Denver's Christian Brown
03:19Thanks, Zion
03:20Christian, big
03:21Half from beyond the arc
03:2210 3's on over 50% shooting
03:25What's been working so well to generate those looks?
03:27I think we're moving the ball
03:28Getting to the right spots
03:29Getting to the right guys
03:30We've got to do a better job
03:31To take care of it
03:31And we'll hit more
03:32Yeah, you guys have led so far
03:34The entire game
03:35But it's been a bit of a game of runs
03:37Both ways
03:37What was the discussion at the half
03:39To maintain momentum here in the second?
03:41Yeah, it's a power game
03:41I think we've got to take care of the ball better
03:43When we get out and run
03:44And we move the ball
03:45We play really well
03:45So I've got to stick to that
03:46Thanks for your time
03:47Good luck
03:49All right, Cassidy
03:50Thank you
03:51Denver
03:52Up by 10
03:53As we start this
03:55Second half
03:56They've only gone
03:57Six and eight
03:58Since Jokic has returned
04:01Lakers
04:01Trying to find that rhythm
04:03With their version
04:04Of the big three
04:06Donchich
04:07LeBron
04:08And Reeves
04:10No Aiden
04:13It's Jackson Hayes
04:14Starting the second half
04:15And immediately
04:16They go inside
04:17Two Hayes
04:18For the finish
04:18Well
04:19Lucas said
04:21He likes to have a guy
04:23You know
04:23V-sit vertical spacing
04:25He wants that locked up
04:26Jackson Hayes
04:27Definitely gives him that
04:34Murray picking up
04:35Where he left off
04:37Well
04:38It went to the split game
04:39Nikola Jokic
04:40With the ball
04:40And Murray just rejects
04:42The screen
04:42Pops back
04:43And makes another
04:45Beautiful three
04:46Off the room
04:46He is five of eight
04:48From downtown
04:5023 points
04:51Donchich
04:52Works his way in
04:53But doesn't get the roll
04:59Deadlift lead
05:00Is 11
05:03Swing
05:04Jokic
05:06Surveys
05:06Ted to shoot
05:07Strother comes to the ball
05:09Down goes Smart
05:10Up goes Strother
05:18It's now eight assists
05:19For Jokic
05:20Trying to become
05:21The first guy ever
05:22To lead the league
05:23In rebounds per game
05:24In assists per game
05:25Smart
05:26Can't hit the three
05:27Good possession though
05:29Downhill from Austin Reeves
05:31That's eight assists right
05:32Over point of three
05:34Get into it here with Murray
05:36The bounce for Jokic
05:37He puts it up
05:38And he's fouled
05:43Well here this is
05:45Steve talked about it
05:46Smart tries to cheat
05:47Through the screen
05:48He rejects it
05:50And gets it from Jokic
05:51To knock down a three
05:53And then it's just a simple
05:55Handoff from Jokic
05:57Strother turns the corner
05:58You mentioned it earlier
05:59Steve
06:00Just the two man
06:01Game
06:01How much they lean on it
06:03There's no team
06:04In the NBA
06:05That has a one-two punch
06:06Quite like this
06:07You're right
06:07I think Stan
06:08You brought it up today
06:09That there's no
06:10Number one in the league
06:11Jokic to Murray assists
06:13And number four in the league
06:14Murray to Jokic assists
06:16So incredible two-man game
06:18Going each way
06:19Which is a little bit
06:20Unconventional
06:20It is
06:21And Cassidy
06:22Talk a little bit
06:23About what
06:23About the bond
06:25Between those two guys
06:26Yes I will
06:27I just want to give
06:28A quick update first
06:29On DeAndre Ayton
06:30He left
06:31The end of the first half
06:33Pretty early
06:34And he will not return
06:35To tonight's game
06:36As he has a knee injury
06:38So more injuries
06:40For the Lakers
06:41As they're dealing with it
06:42As for the bond
06:44Between Jokic
06:45And Murray
06:46You know
06:47Nikola Jokic
06:48Was talking recently
06:48About his connection
06:49With Murray
06:50Said the two simply
06:51Make each other's game easier
06:52Even adding
06:53That when he lists
06:54The best teammates
06:55Of his career
06:56Murray is number one
06:57And Murray says
06:58That trust runs deep
06:59Saying I have his back
07:00He has mine
07:01What's remarkable though
07:02Is that Murray says
07:03In all these years together
07:04Deep playoff runs at all
07:05They've never had an argument
07:07So Jokic joked
07:09Their personality
07:09Is actually balanced
07:10And they're making things out guys
07:12Well it shows
07:13There is harmony
07:15There is chemistry
07:17And there's a championship
07:19That they can always look back on
07:21And who knows
07:22What's in the future
07:23Reeves off balance
07:25He's going to the free throw line
07:27Well good start for Reeves here
07:29Gets a three from LeBron
07:30And now a drive
07:32I think a big key for them
07:33And it's hard
07:34It is a very hard thing
07:36Steve you've been there
07:37You had three stars
07:39Now they never were healthy
07:40At the same time
07:41But when you do have them all healthy
07:44But the Lakers do now
07:45It's tough to find opportunities
07:48For all of those guys
07:49I guess the rotation is difficult
07:51How do you get guys in and out
07:53To play with the right complementary
07:57Teammates
07:58And then at the same time
08:00How do you find ways
08:01When they are on the floor together
08:03That they're not watching each other
08:04They're playing off each other
08:06They're playing together
08:06I think that's the biggest challenge
08:08For JJ
08:08Is how do I firm up these rotations
08:11And also put complementary players
08:12Around each one of these guys
08:14Foul trouble for Denver
08:16Three on Jokic
08:18Natchi
08:19And Strother
08:19Cut
08:20Jokic
08:21Missed it
08:22And that ball gets knocked
08:24And about
08:24Off of L.A.
08:29How fun is Jokic to watch
08:31Oh
08:31In the back
08:32All angles
08:34You never know what's coming
08:35And even if you do
08:37You can't do much about it
08:40He's a basketball genius
08:41That is exactly right
08:43You couldn't put it
08:45Any better than that
08:48Give me the Emmy
08:50You get the Emmy
08:51You probably have 20 now
08:53So I don't know
08:56Denver
08:56Had 20 assists
08:5990 seconds into the third
09:03And now they have their
09:0521st decision
09:07Emmy goes back to stand
09:08Austin having a terrific start
09:10No and he's really
09:11That was
09:12I had to be intentional
09:13At halftime
09:14Coaching adjustment
09:15We've got to get
09:17Austin Reeves going
09:18I think they know
09:19If they're going to be good
09:21They need to get him low
09:23Reeves down with 11
09:24The steal by Jokic
09:26Reeves
09:28Is he feeling it
09:29Yes
09:30No
09:30Off the rim
09:32It was halfway down
09:34For Reeves
09:35Murray bounces
09:37Jokic is fouled
09:38By his friend
09:39Donchich
09:41Well another Murray
09:42to Jokic
09:43Inverted
09:44Two-man game
09:45And transition here
09:46And just
09:47I mean these two are
09:48Telepathic
09:49No it's incredible
09:50It's the best
09:51Two-man game
09:52In the league
09:52One of the best
09:53Two-man games
09:54That we have ever seen
09:56And
09:57The only one
09:58I can think of
09:59At high volume
10:00That goes both ways
10:02In other words
10:03I was looking up
10:04Stuff today
10:04You had a lot
10:05We see it right here
10:06First in the league
10:08Murray to Jokic
10:09127 assists
10:10Fourth in the league
10:12Jokic to Murray
10:13101 assists
10:14That was before tonight
10:16I was looking up
10:17All the guys
10:18You had assists to
10:19Steve
10:19But I couldn't find
10:20Who had 100 assists
10:22To you in a year
10:23Yeah
10:24None of them
10:25Were quite like
10:27Nicola Jokic
10:28I had some incredible
10:28Pick and roll partners
10:29And teammates
10:30But I mean this guy
10:31He is just on another level
10:34Unlike anyone
10:35I've ever seen
10:35Play the game
10:36Well I just heard
10:37A guy
10:38Alvin
10:39Anar
10:40Came up and said
10:41Michael Finley
10:43Had the most
10:43Career assists to you
10:45Wow
10:45My guy Finley
10:47Steal
10:48LeBron
10:49Forcing his way in
10:50And the trailer
10:51Is Dacic for two
10:54Well ten turnovers now
10:57For Denver
10:58A team that only averages
11:00Thirteen a game
11:01And a lot of
11:02Careless turnovers
11:04Not aggressive ones
11:07And a whistle stops play
11:09As Dacic was making his move
11:11On Austin Reeves
11:16And defensive
11:18Three seconds the call
11:19So Murray goes to the line
11:21Well and again
11:23That's Jokic's talent
11:24You end up switched on the pick and roll
11:27And now you have to distort
11:29Your entire defense
11:30To try to guard the guy
11:35David Adelman knows
11:36That this team can be so dangerous
11:39If they can just get
11:40All the pieces back
11:42Aaron Gordon
11:43The centerpiece
11:44What changes
11:45Steve
11:46With Aaron Gordon
11:47Back in the lineup
11:47For Denver
11:48He's so underrated
11:49At least in my eyes
11:51I mean he
11:51At both ends of the floor
11:52Is so important
11:53To this team
11:54One getting stops
11:55With his defense
11:56Two running out in transition
11:58Ceiling guys in the lane
11:59Scoring
12:00Whether it's on those little post-ups
12:02Or just with his athleticism
12:03And then
12:04He's a legit shooter
12:06I believe in him as a shooter now
12:08And he's gone from a guy
12:09You didn't necessarily trust
12:10From the perimeter
12:11To a 40% three-point shooter
12:13Absolutely
12:13And look
12:14It shows up in the numbers
12:16They've won 74% of their games
12:19With Gordon
12:19They've won 54% of their games
12:22When he's been out
12:24Smart
12:24They needed it
12:25A straightaway trade
12:27To cut it to 12
12:29Denver had just matched
12:31Its largest lead of the night
12:32Well
12:33He's gonna have that shot
12:35All the time now
12:36Because
12:37Jokic is guarding
12:40Now the foul is called on Smart
12:48I really like that call though
12:51Because what tends to happen
12:53Is when you put a small
12:55On a big
12:56They just give
12:57The small guy liberties
12:59As a guy who coached
13:00A lot of big guys
13:01That always drove me crazy
13:03Let's call the rules
13:04The same way
13:06That's Jokic's fourth
13:07Right there
13:08I don't like this call
13:09I think he's trying to get
13:11A way to set a screen
13:12Smarty doesn't let him
13:15Release from the contact
13:17I'm not sure I'd buy that one
13:20Smart's been begging
13:22For that call
13:23And he got it
13:23Smart
13:25Rimming out
13:26Tipped all
13:27By Doncic
13:28Not gonna count
13:30And JJ Redick
13:31Is checking
13:32With
13:32His assistant coaches
13:34To see if they should challenge
13:36They're gonna challenge
13:40I think this one
13:41Will be close
13:41But
13:44You said it earlier
13:45Marcus Smart's getting free
13:46On these pick and pops
13:47And if he can make a few of them
13:50I'm not sure that one
13:50Might have gone in
13:53Smarts
13:55Hmm
13:58Denver immediately
14:00Wanted to go the other way
14:01The official agreed
14:02The challenge
14:07The challenge from JJ Redick
14:09Deemed unsuccessful
14:12The call on the floor
14:13Was basket interference
14:15And that's the call
14:16That will stand
14:17So
14:18No basket
14:19For Luka Doncic
14:2080 to 68
14:22Denver leads it
14:34That is close
14:37You know
14:38I'd really like to see us go
14:39To the international rule
14:41There
14:42When the ball hits the rim
14:43It's live
14:44Those are great plays
14:46And a lot of times
14:47Those are dunks
14:48And exciting plays
14:49Why do we want to take those
14:51Out of the game
14:53Doncic drives in
14:54On Hachimura
14:55And then loses the ball
14:56That's six turnovers
14:59Hachimura trailing the play
15:01Steps into it
15:01And he snaps in a three
15:03It's really the turnovers
15:06Keeping the Lakers
15:08Within striking distance here
15:12Nine-point game
15:16Murray with Hachimura
15:19Step back Jay
15:20Yes sir
15:23He's on a heater
15:24I'll tell you what
15:25The run this guy is on
15:26I mean he's had a great year
15:29But he's taken it to another level here
15:31In these last four games
15:3426 points for Murray
15:37It's 82-71
15:39Hachimura has been hot
15:41But they look for smart
15:42Switching hands
15:43And it rims out
15:45Five on four right now
15:46Smart late to get up
15:47Jokic drops it inside
15:49Brown good help
15:51Doncic
15:51And he steps in front
15:53For the steal
15:53This is a three on one
15:55James giving up
15:56Doncic lays it in
16:00Turnovers
16:0113 of them
16:02And that's what they
16:03Average for the game
16:04And we've still got
16:0617 and a half minutes to play
16:07Now they have 17 points
16:10In transition
16:10Bouts it
16:11Doncic
16:12Kick it
16:12Brown
16:13Missing
16:14Kicked alive by Natchi
16:16And last touch by Reeves
16:18Out of bounds
16:19Too unselfish from Jokic there
16:21Stan
16:21I think so sometimes
16:23But again
16:24It just builds so much
16:28Chemistry
16:28It does
16:29It really does
16:30Guys want to play hard
16:31Want to run
16:32Want to cut
16:32Want to play
16:37Hardaway is back in
16:39He had an impact
16:39In the first quarter
16:44Down goes Murray on the play
16:49And a foul called against
16:50Hachimura
16:51And Murray is just trying to
16:53Walk it off
16:54Now those can be
16:55Quite painful
16:56If you get the knee right in the thigh
16:58I've missed some games
16:59With those
17:00And hobbled around for weeks
17:02Because I got one
17:02So hopefully he didn't get it
17:05So as you know
17:06He'll be able to play right now
17:07Yeah
17:08He's warm
17:08He's loose
17:09Challenge will be
17:10When he goes over
17:11And sits down
17:12And even a bigger challenge
17:13When he comes in tomorrow
17:17Getting ready to play the Knicks
17:18That's right
17:20Yeah
17:20Front end of a back-to-back
17:21For both teams
17:22Knicks are in town
17:23To play Denver
17:24Tomorrow night
17:25Lakers go home
17:26To face Indiana
17:30Both teams here tonight
17:31With something to prove
17:32You know
17:33Denver hasn't won
17:35Two in a row
17:35In five weeks
17:37Five weeks
17:38And that's with
17:39Jokic
17:40And the Lakers
17:41Have lost
17:42Eleven of their last
17:43Twelve games
17:44Against teams
17:45Six hundred or better
17:47They need to prove
17:48They can beat
17:49A quality opponent
17:50And Denver's missing
17:52A host of guys
17:54This is one
17:55Where you have
17:55An opportunity
17:56To take one
17:57On the road
17:59Off the miss
18:00By Jokic
18:01Lakers can
18:02Cut into this lead
18:04That Denver owns
18:06Here in the third
18:07Behind the back
18:07Smart
18:08Whip it
18:09On a bounce
18:09Get it back
18:10Smart lines it up
18:11And buries a triple
18:12There we go
18:14You said it earlier
18:15Stan with Jokic
18:16Guarding Smart
18:17He's going to get
18:17As many of those
18:18As he wants
18:21It's an eleven
18:22Two run now
18:23For the Lakers
18:24Who have cut it
18:24To six
18:25Brown takes
18:26The baseline
18:26Christian Brown
18:27Misses on a three ball
18:29Reeves got
18:30Knocked down
18:31On the play
18:32Jokic is looking
18:33For his tenth rebound
18:34Which will give him
18:35Yet another triple
18:36Double
18:37What a small
18:38Lineup
18:39Has been good
18:39For the Lakers
18:40Here
18:41Reeves wants to
18:42Dance with Jokic
18:44Reeves
18:44Beautiful
18:46Austin Reeves
18:47With a major
18:48Highlight
18:49Incredible
18:51Slip in
18:52And sliding
18:52Into the defense
18:55Skill
18:56Mobility
18:59Jokic late
19:00To get back
19:01He's always
19:01Going to want
19:01To get in
19:02The paint
19:02And help
19:03And Smart
19:03He knocks down
19:04The three
19:05And Austin
19:06With the slick finish
19:18It's time for
19:19From the wing
19:19Presented by
19:20Wingstop
19:21We know
19:22We know what
19:22Austin Reeves
19:23Is capable of
19:24We saw it
19:25Early in the year
19:26When the other guys
19:27Were hurt
19:27Shooting a three
19:29Gets a pull up
19:30And then that
19:30Great move
19:31And finish
20:01It's not easy
20:03Look up
20:03Docich
20:04Trying to stop
20:05Nikola Jokic
20:06And they
20:07Couldn't do it
20:08Wow
20:08That was a great
20:10Defensive possession
20:11By the Lakers
20:12This small lineup
20:14Has changed
20:15The dynamic
20:16Of this game
20:18Moravia in
20:20But his true shot
20:21Is not
20:21Yet
20:25I mean how soft
20:27Are those hands
20:27That's incredible
20:29Bruce Brown
20:31Wow
20:32Incredible
20:35Six point lead
20:36For Denver
20:38This small lineup
20:39Speeding up
20:40The Nuggets
20:40Making things
20:41Really uncomfortable
20:42They finally
20:42Break through
20:43Take care of the ball
20:44Get a layup
20:45Out the split cut
20:46Well
20:47They're trying to
20:48Switch it
20:48And so the screener
20:50Is able to
20:50Slip them
20:51Get to the rim
20:53Consistently
20:55Moravia crosses
20:56Over
20:56Again
20:57Stumbles
21:01Canard gets
21:02Hachimura
21:03Involved
21:03And he knew
21:05He missed it
21:05Right away
21:07Out of bounds
21:08It was too close
21:09For Hachimura
21:10Used to shoot
21:11In the three
21:11You really don't
21:12See him
21:12Shooting
21:13Any
21:13Mid-range
21:14Jumpers
21:15Anymore
21:15Well how rare
21:16Is a catch
21:17And shoot
21:17Mid-range
21:18Shot
21:18Nowadays
21:19It almost
21:19Looks funny
21:20When he
21:20Caught
21:20And throws
21:21Up
21:21To shoot
21:22It
21:22Both teams
21:23Are shooting
21:2350%
21:24From three-point
21:25Territory
21:26Murray is now
21:27On the bench
21:27Replaced by
21:28The newest
21:29Edition
21:30Tyus Jones
21:31For Denver
21:34Jokic
21:36Brown
21:36Swing
21:37Jones
21:37Off the rim
21:40Up ahead
21:42Don't change
21:43To Hachimura
21:44He missed the lane
21:45I can't
21:47I can't
21:48I can't
21:49Lakers get back
21:50Defensively
21:51Jokic puts it
21:53On the deck
21:53Drives and kicks
21:55For the Bruce
21:55Brown trade
21:57Assists
21:58Number 12
22:00For Jokic
22:01And he does
22:02Have that
22:03Triple-double
22:04He grabbed
22:04His 10th rebound
22:07Denver's had
22:08A lot of success
22:10Or a lot of
22:10High-quality
22:11Looks when they
22:11Play early
22:12Maybe not even
22:13In transition
22:13But semi-transition
22:17Luka
22:18Jokic
22:19Would not
22:20Be denied
22:2389-80
22:25Denver
22:26Donchich
22:26Now with
22:2721
22:27To go along
22:28With
22:298 rebounds
22:304 assists
22:33Jokic
22:34Gives it up
22:35Swing
22:36Swing
22:39And going
22:40The other way
22:41Three-second call
22:43Three-second call
22:45On Jokic
22:45Which will be
22:46Turnover number
22:47Seven
22:47But he's just
22:48Being held
22:49This entire
22:51Possession
22:52I just don't
22:53Like it
22:54When teams
22:54Play small
22:55And referees
22:57Give liberties
22:58To the smaller guy
22:59The game
23:00Should be
23:00Refereed
23:01By the rule book
23:04No they bring
23:05A big in
23:06With Jackson
23:07Hayes
23:07Lebron James
23:08Back on the floor
23:09Off the double
23:10Hayes
23:11Swing
23:11Lebron James
23:12Short
23:14Laravia couldn't
23:15Catch it
23:15And then he
23:16Fouls
23:17Hardaway
23:17From behind
23:18And they're
23:19Looking for
23:20A take foul
23:29And I think
23:30They got
23:30The take foul
23:32Yep
23:34Hardaway
23:35Goes directly
23:35To the free throw
23:36Line
23:41Oh no
23:42Everybody assumed
23:43Even the Lakers
23:44Assumed
23:45That was a take foul
23:46Everybody stayed
23:47Outside
23:49No they're just
23:50Over the limit
23:50So they're giving them
23:51The two free throws
23:53Nothing more
23:55Upcoming national TV

24:19Adeltox
24:2091-80
24:25No look
24:26Arabia drives
24:28And Jokic gets a piece
24:31Jokic
24:32Apoplectic at the call
24:35And we can't challenge
24:36They don't have one
24:40Jokic has been upset
24:42Dumbled at Moroy
24:43Most of the game
24:45Donchic
24:45Stands a long triple
24:51For the last two possessions
24:52Denver's doubled
24:53Luka Donchic
24:55And said
24:55We'll live with
24:57Jackson Hayes
24:58Playmaking in the middle
24:59And then you give up
25:00A wide open catch
25:01And shoot
25:03That hurts
25:03If you're the Denver Nuggets
25:05Donchic going for the steal
25:0844 seconds left
25:11Kennard got his hand on it
25:13And a foul called on Kennard
25:15Way outside
25:16Lakers over the limit
25:19And Jokic going to the free throw line
25:25Well that was clearly
25:27Off of the Arabia
25:29Ed Molloy's in a little bit
25:30Of a battle
25:31With
25:33Nikola Jokic
25:34Right now
25:34I hate to say it
25:35But it's become personal
25:37For Ed Molloy
25:38That was an obvious call
25:39There's no way
25:40Ed Molloy missed that call
25:47Another one here
25:48For Nikola Jokic
25:5019 points
25:5110 rebounds
25:5212 assists
25:57Denver enters action
25:5916 and 12
26:03They went
26:0434-7 at home
26:05The year they won the title
26:10Two for one opportunity
26:14Hayes couldn't catch it
26:15Cleanly
26:15It leaks out
26:16Kennard can't make the three
26:18Rebound
26:19Reeves takes it out
26:22There's a 12 second difference
26:23Shot clock to game clock
26:25Go
26:26Go
26:27Nodich
26:27Against Nodich
26:28Step back three
26:29Oh he makes it in
26:31It's a bullseye banker
26:36Would he call that Steve?
26:39Wouldn't put anything past him
26:4212 seconds left in the period
26:47Jokic
26:48Beats of the clock
26:49Five seconds
26:50Lost it
26:51LeBron goes for it
26:53Off the rim
26:54Off the rim
26:55And that's how the quarter will end
26:56With Denver in front
26:58Ninety-three to eighty-six
27:00After three
27:04Tonight

27:43Twelve assists
27:44Ten rebounds
27:44Twenty-third

28:03Nikola Jokic
28:04Is three turnovers away
28:06From a quadruple
28:07Do you keep track of those
28:09Nikola Jokic
28:10Never seen one
28:12Personally
28:13As Underway
28:14Knocks down
28:15A three
28:16We saw him get going
28:17In the first quarter
28:19Then he disappeared
28:20For a while
28:21He's back
28:23Hardaway off the bench
28:25Twelve points
28:26Ten point advantage
28:27For Denver
28:31Kennard the pull-up puck
28:33Rebounded by Najee
28:36Good action
28:37A little
28:38Double drag
28:39Into a pick-to-picker
28:40And Kennard got a really good look
28:42Murray back in for Denver
28:44Valanciunas starts the fourth quarter
28:46At the center spot
28:47Hardaway is fouled
28:50And it's going to be three free throws
28:52For Tim Hardaway Jr.
28:54As Kennard picks up the personal
28:59This is an important start
29:00To the fourth
29:01For Denver
29:02For unraveling
29:04They got a three
29:04They got a three and now
29:05A chance at three
29:08Iron Eagle
29:09Steve Nash
29:10Stan Van Gundy
29:11And Cassidy Hubbard
29:12Who we check in with
29:13Right now
29:15Yeah I had a chance
29:16To listen in on
29:17David Adelman's huddle
29:18And the biggest thing
29:19He was stressing
29:20Was taking care of the ball
29:21He said that is our
29:22Biggest problem right now
29:24They got to take care of it
29:25And keep pushing the ball
29:26To maintain control
29:28Here in the fourth guys
29:29And he acknowledged it
29:30Prior to the game
29:31Huge game
29:31In terms of the standings
29:33And the players are aware of it
29:35He said the team was
29:37Highly excited
29:38For this matchup
29:39With the Lakers
29:41They came out
29:41Very strong
29:43Lakers couldn't make a basket
29:45But L.A.
29:46Battled back
29:49Extended run
29:50In the third quarter
29:51Since then
29:52Denver has brought the lead
29:53Back to double figures
29:55Inside
29:56It's Reeves
29:57Off the miss
29:58From LeBron
29:58Is that a miss
29:59Or an assist
30:00Well I'm going to call it
30:02A miss
30:02But a smart
30:04Smart little cut
30:05A lot of teams
30:06Are crashing
30:07Austin had a great
30:08Little offensive rebounding cut
30:11Denver
30:1130 straight games
30:13With at least 20 assists
30:14As Murray
30:16Misses the one-legged jumper
30:21Ten point game
30:22James
30:23Ball movement
30:25Hachimura
30:26No
30:28Valanchunis with the box out
30:34Brown picked up by James
30:35Turns the corner
30:37Nagy is there
30:40Well drives
30:41Draw help
30:43Takes bodies off
30:44Offensive rebounders
30:45Nagy does exactly
30:47What he should do
30:48And just
30:48Puts his head under the ring
30:50Hold over
30:51100 to 88
30:55Reeves asking for a screen
30:57From Hayes
30:57He gets it
30:58Reeves on tack mode
30:59The follow won't go
31:01From Hayes
31:02Denver washing up the floor
31:08Dump it down
31:09Low
31:10Valanchunis
31:11Is fouled by Hachimura
31:13Wow
31:16Look I coached Jackson Hayes
31:17And I love the guy
31:18Total lack of effort
31:20In transition there
31:22He just got outrun
31:24By Valanchunis
31:25Then you get the mismatch
31:27And he's at the free throw line
31:29You're trying right now
31:30This is a big game
31:32For both teams
31:33You got a Denver team
31:34That's got a lot of guys out
31:35You got a chance to beat them
31:37That kind of
31:38That lack of effort
31:40Is inexcusable
31:41Stay tuned
31:42After the game
31:43To watch NBA nightcap
31:45For Amazon Music Presents
31:46In the paint
31:47With a performance
31:48From one of music's
31:49Most exciting new artists
31:50Big X the plug
31:52It's coming up
31:57Another free throw here
31:58For Valanchunis
32:03It's been a nice pickup
32:05For Denver
32:06The problem was
32:07When Jokic went down
32:08With an injury
32:09They thought
32:09Hey we'll
32:09We'll get by
32:11We have Valanchunis
32:12He went down
32:12With an injury
32:13The very next game
32:14Absolutely
32:15And he
32:15David Adelman
32:16Talked about that
32:17Before the game
32:19That when they've had guys out
32:20It's always been guys
32:21At the same position
32:23Hachimura
32:24Drains a triple
32:25Beautiful pass
32:26From Lebron
32:27The lob
32:28Was in tight quarters
32:29He took it
32:30And immediately
32:30Whipped to the corner
32:31Out of the air
32:32Wide open three
32:33He's four of five
32:35From downtown
32:35Hachimura
32:36Shooting it
32:37At 43%
32:38On the season
32:40Murray
32:40Against Hachimura
32:43The corner
32:44Pop doesn't go
32:45Najee
32:46Up ahead
32:47James
32:48To Hachimura
32:50He just lost the ball
32:58And that is
32:59Ten turnovers
33:00Now for L.A.
33:05Stan you alluded to it
33:07Lakers have beat up
33:09On lesser competition
33:10They're 23 and 6
33:12Against teams
33:12Under 500
33:1414 and 8
33:15Against teams
33:16Above 500
33:19Well and 4 and 11
33:21Versus teams
33:22600 were better
33:24But they won
33:25Their first three
33:26Of those this year
33:27So they've lost
33:2811 out of the last 12
33:30Here's an opportunity
33:31To get a win
33:32They got to dig in
33:34Right here
33:34I mean it's not
33:35Going to be easy
33:36To come and get back
33:37From 11 down
33:38Right now
33:39But it's certainly
33:39Possible
33:40Offensive foul
33:41On Valanciunas
33:42Bouncing
33:43Extra
33:44Hayes
33:45Layup goes
33:48Beautiful offense
33:49From the Lakers
33:50LeBron again
33:51With an incredible
33:52Delivery
33:52But just
33:53Next action
33:54Next action
33:54Next action
33:55Mentality
33:56And finally
33:57The defense cracks
33:58Well we said it
33:59About Jokic earlier
34:00But these last two
34:00Passes from LeBron James
34:02He knew where he was
34:03Going with the ball
34:04Before he caught it
34:07Those guys are ahead
34:08Of the game
34:09It's the intelligence
34:11It's
34:12The instincts
34:13They have developed
34:15Playing high level
34:16Basketball
34:17For a long time
34:18Lakers are 9 of 13
34:20At the free throw line
34:21Hard away
34:23The defense there
34:24From Hayes
34:25And it's out of bounds
34:26Off of Denver
34:28Great job
34:29From Jackson
34:29Hayes
34:30There
34:30With the verticality
34:31Don't foul
34:32You don't have to
34:33Block every shot
34:34Just go up straight
34:36And make it tough
34:37And here comes
34:39Luka Doncic
34:46He replaces
34:47Austin Reeves
34:50Lakers with possession
34:52Down by 9
34:57James using the screen
35:00Two man game
35:01With Doncic
35:03LeBron
35:03Against Brown
35:05Extra
35:05Hammer jam
35:07It's Hayes
35:09LeBron's passing
35:11Is dominating
35:12This game right now
35:13And he's got
35:14The Lakers back in it
35:15That's three
35:16Incredible assists
35:17In a row
35:18And twice
35:19Him going
35:19Open side
35:20DHO
35:21Handing it off
35:22Rolling
35:23That's how I'm
35:24Getting the mismatch
35:25On Goose Brown
35:26Drawing two
35:27Making a beautiful
35:29Feed
35:29Seven assists
35:30For James
35:31And then the foul
35:32Is called
35:33As James
35:33Was trying to chase
35:34Down
35:40Obviously LeBron James
35:42Is a genius
35:42But the way
35:43He spun baseline
35:44To draw
35:45Valanchunas
35:46To commit
35:46Knowing he's
35:47Going to go back
35:48Between them
35:48To an open
35:50Jackson Hayes
35:51For a rim attempt
35:52And a slam
35:53Well it's amazing
35:54To me
35:55That a guy like
35:55LeBron James
35:56All-time leading
35:57Scorer in the NBA
35:58I think he would
35:59Agree with me
36:00Steve
36:00It's not even
36:01His best
36:02Best part of his game
36:03And nor is it
36:04His nature
36:04You know
36:05His nature
36:05Is to play
36:06Make and make
36:06Others better
36:07Uh-oh
36:07Turnover
36:08Here's the flick train
36:10LeBron
36:1523 points
36:17Off of turnovers
36:18For the Lakers
36:19They have cut it
36:21To five
36:22With seven
36:22Twenty-nine to play
36:24Fourth quarter action
36:25Continues here
36:27In Denver
36:28For the NBA
36:29On Prime
36:38Prime is brought to you
36:40By Wingstop
36:41Big plays
36:41With even bigger flavor
36:43Wingstop is here
36:44And by CarMax
36:46Want to drive
36:49Fourth quarter
36:50Ball arena
36:52In Denver
36:52Seven-twenty-eight
36:54To play
36:54And the Nuggets
36:56With a one-oh-two-ninety-seven
36:57Lead
36:57Over the Lakers
36:58In a game
36:59They have not trailed
37:04Denver looking to win
37:05Two in a row
37:06Lakers
37:08Trying to win
37:09Their fourth
37:10Straight game
37:11Murray
37:12Gives it away
37:14Donchich
37:14Gets it ahead
37:15For James
37:16Bounces for
37:17Hachimura
37:17Who lays it in
37:19That's now
37:19Seventeen
37:20Nuggets
37:21Turnovers
37:21For
37:22Twenty-five
37:23Laker points
37:26A half game
37:28Separates
37:29These two teams
37:30In the Western Conference
37:31Standings
37:34Murray
37:35His jump shot
37:36Is off
37:37Uncontested board
37:39For Donchich
37:40Lakers defense
37:41Has been outstanding
37:42Here late
37:4412-point
37:46Free throw discrepancy
37:47For Denver
37:47But a 14-point
37:49Points-off
37:49Turnover discrepancy
37:51For the Lakers
37:53Donchich
37:57It is
37:58No good
38:02Just over six minutes
38:04Left
38:06Switch out front
38:07Jokic
38:09Twirls
38:09And connects
38:10Donchich
38:11Was coming
38:12Baseline side
38:13But he didn't get there
38:14Quick enough
38:15And we said it before
38:16Jokic knew
38:17They were coming
38:19So he just went quick
38:20And got it off the glass
38:23Donchich
38:24Using the Hayes screen
38:25Loops it up
38:26And Hayes
38:27Makes the adjustment
38:31Now Hayes
38:32Has 17 points
38:33Now
38:34Catching those
38:35Labs
38:37Seven for nine
38:38He's shooting
38:3877%
38:40On the year
38:41Got a three-point game
38:42Jokic
38:42Drive and kick
38:43The Strother three
38:45Is good
38:49Timeout LA
38:54The Denver Nuggets
38:5614 of 28
38:58From downtown
38:59The number one
39:00Three-point shooting team
39:01In the association
39:02Urging movement
39:04Presented by
39:05Lilly
39:06Well here we see
39:07That beautiful
39:07Two-man game
39:08Jokic finds his buddy
39:09Murray
39:10Murray
39:10Sees he's got the
39:11Mismatch on the duck in
39:13And then here
39:14Hitting him in the
39:15Pinch post
39:16Going to the split game
39:17He rejects
39:19Wide open three
39:20But I think the story
39:21Lately has been
39:22That the Lakers
39:23Ball pressure
39:24And taking away
39:25Easy catches
39:26From Jokic
39:27Then bringing extra
39:28Bodies to shrink the floor
39:30On their two-man game
39:30I'd like to see them
39:32Get Jokic in the post
39:33Draw double teams
39:34From there
39:35And then let him
39:35Play out of it
39:36Well and especially now
39:37The Lakers have gone back
39:39To that small lineup
39:41Which worked very well
39:43For them early
39:45Dacic
39:46Rimming out
39:47And the rebound
39:50Knocked over to Brown
39:51Another great
39:52After timeout play though
39:55Wide open three
39:58Double team
39:59Jokic
39:59Down low
40:00Brown
40:01Fouled by Dacic
40:03And now the M.E.
40:04Goes back
40:04Steve Nash
40:05Talking about getting it to Jokic
40:08In the post
40:08He knows the double is coming
40:10One of the problems is though
40:12I think Steve
40:12When you double that far out
40:15That just opens up
40:17The cut
40:18And so much more room to cover
40:20I think you've got to wait
40:22Till he gets the ball down
40:23Closer to the lane line
40:24Yeah LeBron flooded
40:26Which means came across early
40:27Zoned it up on the low block
40:28But maybe just stay there
40:30For a little bit longer
40:31To give your
40:32Weak side an opportunity
40:33To take space away
40:35Because as soon as he kind of
40:36Slowly came to double
40:37The space has opened up
40:38And Jokic is just too good
40:40In that situation
40:40Absolutely
40:42Christian Brown
40:43Of the free throw line
40:44Seventy-eight percent
40:46Seven point lead
40:47For Denver
40:49I've never understood
40:51It goes back to my entire time
40:53Growing up around the game
40:54Why passes like that
40:56That lead to points
40:57Are not counted as assists
40:59I completely agree
41:02I'm sure you do
41:03I mean come on
41:05But it really doesn't
41:06Make any sense
41:08Stan Van Gundy
41:09Preaching to the choir
41:10As Smart
41:11Nails the triple
41:13Well there's another example
41:15Lakers going small
41:16Jokic
41:17Haffing to guard
41:18Smarty
41:18They run pick and roll
41:19He obviously helps
41:20On the ball
41:21And Marcus Smart
41:22Gets another over
41:23There's nobody else
41:23Really for Jokic
41:25To guard
41:25Hachimura on the year
41:26A much better
41:28Three point shooter
41:30And so they put him
41:32On the worst shooter
41:33Jokic
41:34Back in
41:35Dumped down
41:35Brown
41:36Diagonal
41:37Shot clock winding down
41:38Strother fights through it
41:40And floats it in
41:43That's an important basket
41:44Play was lost
41:46All but lost
41:47Game's getting tighter
41:48For him to make that
41:49Little tricky in between
41:50Her
41:50Really important bucket
41:52For the Ducks
41:52He's played a big role
41:53Sixteen points
41:56James gets inside
41:57For the deuce
41:58And he lands awkwardly
41:59LeBron James is down
42:02Five on four
42:04Strother
42:04Out of bounds
42:15He needs assistance
42:19Timeout taken by the Lakers
42:22He was grabbing his elbow
42:24He was grabbing his elbow
42:25He was grabbing his elbow
42:29Going to lift him to his feet here
42:35LeBron is laboring
42:38We'll come back in a moment
42:41James up on his feet
42:44It was the left arm and he was
42:46Shaking it as he made his way
42:48To the bench area
42:52So initially he's falling down
42:53He breaks his fall with his right arm
42:55And then something happens
42:57At the end of the play
42:59To his left arm
43:00Right
43:01There
43:03Did he hit it on somebody's foot there?
43:06On the baseline?
43:09The soul of our cameraman sneaker
43:13I think
43:13I think so too
43:18But James is on the end of the bench
43:21Clearly in pain
43:25With 3.58 to go
43:29This is a six point lead for Denver
43:36Donchich
43:37Drive
43:38Inside for Hayes
43:40That combination has been lethal
43:41And that's Donchich's seventh assist
43:45And having that lob threat
43:47So important
43:50If you come up on Donchich
43:52He's behind you for the lob
43:55If you stay back
43:56Donchich is to the rim
43:58Jackson Hayes having a huge impact
44:00On this game
44:01He is 8 of 10
44:02From the field
44:04Murray with the handles
44:07Finds his spot
44:08But missed it
44:09Off the rim
44:09Donchich the board
44:10In a four point game
44:13Off the double team
44:15Reeves
44:15Keeping the ball moving
44:17Hachimura
44:17Pull up jump
44:18He nails it
44:23The lead is down to two
44:25Hachimura has scored
44:2716 points
44:28Off the bench
44:29Execution
44:31Denver's got to execute
44:33Jackson Hayes
44:34He scored 19
44:35They've got 43
44:36Off the bench
44:39112 to 110
44:41Denver
44:42Under three minutes to go
44:44Screen from Jokic
44:45Switch
44:46Jokic gets the step
44:48Fires around the perimeter
44:50Strother
44:51No good
44:54Lakers are shooting 55%
44:57From the field
44:57Donchich gets bumped
44:59By Strother
45:00It's a non-shooting foul
45:06And it'll be the third
45:08Team foul against Denver
45:11Now these are the situations
45:13Denver struggled in all year
45:15Those clutch games
45:16Within five points
45:18Either way
45:18Five minutes to go
45:20In the game
45:20They have the fourth
45:21Worst rating
45:22In the league
45:23And in February
45:24The worst
45:26They've been outscored
45:27By 33 points
45:28Or worse
45:29Outscored by 33 points
45:31In the month of February
45:32In these situations
45:34Donchich tosses up
45:36An air ball
45:39Donchich wants a challenge
45:40It can't be
45:41Because neither team
45:42Has a challenge
45:43Yeah
45:45Stan to your point
45:46I think that's another
45:47Reason they miss
45:48Aaron Gordon
45:49The layer he brings
45:50Their offense
45:51Playing along that
45:52Baseline
45:53As well as
45:54His shooting
45:55At this point
45:55But making hustle plays
45:57Tip-ins
45:58Offensive rebounds
45:59Such an important
46:00Player for their
46:01Late game execution
46:02As well
46:03Deflection and steal
46:04Hachimura to Reeves
46:05Reeves
46:06Can't get it to go
46:07But a foul
46:09Another
46:11Turnover
46:11Nine
46:13Turnovers
46:13For Nikola Jokic
46:14And Reeves needs a moment
46:19Murray picks up
46:21The personal
46:22Reeves going to the
46:23Free throw line
46:24With a chance to tie
46:3615 points
46:37For Austin Reeves
46:38It's two of two
46:39On the free throw line
46:41One point game
46:42Well this small
46:43Lineup for the
46:44Lakers
46:44Has just been
46:46Outstanding
46:49And LeBron James
46:50Is making his way
46:51To the scorers table
46:55He will replace
46:56Hachimura
47:12In and out
47:14He doesn't miss
47:15Many of those
47:181-12 to 1-11
47:20Under two minutes
47:21To go
47:21Denver in front
47:26Jokic
47:27Against Hayes
47:29Jokic
47:30Yes
47:32Well they stayed
47:33One on one
47:34That time
47:35Because he's hurt
47:36Them so badly
47:37With the pass
47:3813 assists
47:40But Hayes
47:41Just can't hold
47:42His ground
47:42Against him
47:43Donchich
47:44To the cutter
47:45Hayes
47:45Lupit
47:46James
47:46Kick out
47:47Smart
47:48Rims out
47:51Jokic
47:51With the board
47:53Great game
47:561-20
47:57To go
48:00Fake the hand
48:01Off to Brown
48:02Swing it now
48:04For Brown
48:04Brown jumper
48:06It's short
48:09The board
48:11To Donchich
48:13The Lakers
48:14Trail by three
48:18James
48:18Hard drive
48:19Great pass
48:21Smart
48:21Misses on a three ball
48:23Under a minute
48:24To play
48:25I don't know
48:26If coming down
48:26The stretch though
48:27That you want
48:29Marcus Smart
48:29Taking all your shots
48:31I know he made
48:32A couple
48:32But he's a
48:3333%
48:34Three point shooter
48:35Double on Jokic
48:37Protects it
48:38Repost
48:39Six to shoot
48:40Jokic
48:41Lost it for a moment
48:42Murray
48:44Rimming out
48:45And the rebound
48:47Tracked out
48:47By Brown
48:4810 to shoot
48:5027 seconds to go
48:51One possession game
48:53Jokic spins
48:55Jokic scores
49:00Timeout
49:01Timeout
49:01L.A.
49:06Denver up by five
49:10How good is this guy
49:11It's incredible
49:13What he's doing
49:14And you know
49:15Here's the other thing
49:16About Jokic
49:17That's incredible
49:18You know what
49:19Nikola Jokic
49:21Will focus on
49:22After this game
49:22When he picks up
49:23The stat sheet
49:24Steve
49:24Turnovers
49:25Nine turnovers
49:26Because he's always
49:28Looking to get better
49:30He's not going to focus
49:31On 26
49:3212 rebounds
49:34And 13 assists
49:35And by the way
49:36This is seventh straight game
49:38Up more than 22 points
49:40And 12 rebounds
49:42Seven straight
49:42And the amount of responsibility
49:44He in particular
49:46But he and Jamal take on
49:48He looks gassed
49:49And he's still making plays
49:51Down the stretch
49:52At the end of this game
49:53Where they've been all over him
49:55Small lineup
49:56Big lineup
49:56Trying to take away his catches
49:58Double teams
49:59I mean they are really
50:00Putting everything they can
50:02Into trying to make it hard
50:03For Nikola Jokic
50:04And he delivers
50:05The big picture
50:06In the Western Conference
50:07The three seed currently
50:09Is Minnesota
50:10At 40 and 23
50:12Then Houston
50:13After the results tonight
50:15Denver is 38 and 24
50:17A half game better
50:19Than the Lakers
50:20And Phoenix
50:22Now 35 and 27
50:25In that seventh spot
50:2822.3 left
50:31Denver's got a five point lead
50:33Over the Lakers
50:34L.A. with possession
50:36And Jokic is out of the game
50:39They're going to go small
50:40Against the Lakers
50:42And switch all the screens
50:47LeBron on the bench
50:49Donchurch
50:50Misses on the three ball
50:51Tiffin doesn't go
50:53For Smart
50:53Rebounded by Denver
50:55And a foul is called
50:56Unless they got the timeout first
50:59I mean Murray's hoping
51:02They didn't get the timeout
51:03Murray wants to be
51:04At the free throw line
51:05It is a timeout
51:13Denver timeout
51:14With 17.3 to play
51:16In a five point game
51:22Set it by Wayfair coming up next
51:23Taylor and the rest of the gang
51:25In the studio
51:26Foul called
51:27Off the trigger
51:30And Murray is going to the free throw line
51:33They were not trying to foul
51:35They're upset there
51:37They wanted to try to get a trap
51:38And create a turnover
51:40I think the referees
51:41You need to let them know
51:43In those situations
51:44Hey
51:44We're not intentionally fouling
51:49Look at Donchurch
51:51Still upset
51:52Murray is five and five
51:55At the free throw line
51:57He's not the only one
51:58Who's been upset
51:59With Ed Molloy this evening
52:01Not at all
52:03Nikola Jokic
52:04Was very upset
52:05With him early
52:07Tough night for Ed Molloy
52:08But the referees
52:09They have those nights
52:10And people
52:11Somebody's always upset at you
52:15Two out of two for Murray
52:18Seven point advantage
52:20Get it in from Arabia
52:21Ten seconds left
52:24Wow
52:25Rouses it off the backboard
52:26In a creative manner
52:28To get the deuce
52:30And a timeout called
52:32With 7.9 on the clock
52:34Well
52:35It'll be tough now
52:37To say the least
52:38You've almost got to get a turnover
52:41On this
52:42Side out of bounds
52:45You certainly don't want the ball
52:47Coming in to Murray again
52:49Too good a free throw shooter
52:53It's been a fun game
52:54And it's had that playoff atmosphere
52:57Tonight here in Denver
52:58Definitely has
53:00Been physical
53:00Lakers really ramped it up
53:02After a slow start
53:03Couldn't get stopped
53:04Second half
53:04I thought the defense
53:05Was much much better
53:06No question
53:07I thought J.J. Reddick's
53:09Moved to
53:10The smaller lineup
53:11Got him back in the game
53:13Created some problems
53:15For Denver
53:15And they swarmed
53:18Nikola Jokic
53:19So he had
53:19I mean you look at
53:2126-12-13
53:22But nine turnovers
53:24I don't know that you can
53:25Defend him a lot better
53:26Than they did tonight
53:28And yet
53:29They're going to probably go to 4-12
53:32Against teams over 600
53:34And that's on a night
53:36Where
53:37The Nuggets are missing
53:40Spencer Jones
53:42Dan Johnson
53:43Aaron Gordon
53:44And Peyton Watson
53:45And the Lakers made 13 threes
53:4813-30 from three
53:49They actually played well offensively
53:54Foul call
53:55Jokic will shoot a pair
53:56I think that's part of the reason
53:57Why there are
53:58People around the NBA
54:00Very bullish on this Denver team
54:02Because of all the names
54:03That you just mentioned
54:04You get them back
54:06And now you've got
54:07So many options
54:09If you can
54:10Create a little runway
54:11Going into the postseason
54:13This team has a chance
54:14To do serious damage
54:15No question
54:16And I mean Aaron Gordon
54:17Obviously Steve talked about it earlier
54:19The biggest impact
54:21But getting Peyton Watson back
54:24Spencer Jones back
54:25Cam Johnson
54:26Now you've also got some depth
54:28So Murray and Jokic
54:30Don't have to play
54:3238 minutes every game
54:38Final 6.6
54:40Go down
54:40Go down
54:42Go down
54:44Donchich
54:45Airball
54:46Denver goes
54:48Wire to wire
54:48For the victory
54:50Over the Lakers
54:52The Western Conference
54:54Standings are tight
54:56And a big win
54:58For the Nuggets
55:01120-113
55:05Denver improves
55:06To 39-24
55:08With the dub
55:09Lakers fall
55:10To 37-25
55:12On the season
55:2027 points
55:2111 rebounds
55:237 assists
55:24For Luka Donchich
55:25It is not enough
55:26Another triple-double
55:28For Nikola Jokic
55:3028 points
55:3112 rebounds
55:32And 13 assists
55:34Let's send it over
55:34To Cassidy
55:35Thanks Ayan
55:36Nikola
55:37A wire-to-wire win
55:38But they did not make it easy
55:40On you guys
55:41What went into
55:42Holding off their comeback
55:43I mean yeah
55:44They're a difficult team
55:45To beat
55:46They're very talented
55:47I think their defense
55:48Was really good
55:49With all the switching
55:50With all the physical
55:52Physical mindset
55:53But I think we scored
55:54When we needed
55:55I always like to say
55:56And we get stops
55:57When we needed
55:58And that's where
55:59We won the game
56:00Yeah a triple-double
56:01For you
56:01But as you said
56:02You had to navigate
56:03Some pressure
56:04What exactly
56:05Did you see
56:05From their defense
56:06And how did you adjust
56:07Throughout the game
56:07They have the size
56:09They have the roster
56:10To be aggressive
56:11To play in passing lanes
56:14To be aggressive
56:15To double
56:15So you know
56:15It's hard to pass around
56:17Those guys
56:18They're long
56:19They have active hands
56:20But I'm glad
56:21That we won the game
56:22Well short-handed wins
56:23Have been a thing
56:24This year for you guys
56:26But Aaron Gordon
56:27Is expected to be
56:28Making his way back
56:29In your mind
56:30When this team
56:31Is healthy
56:31And playing together
56:32What does it look like?
56:33I mean we don't know
56:35Hopefully
56:35Hopefully we're going
56:36To see it soon
56:37But we cannot think about it
56:38You know
56:38We just think about
56:39The next game
56:40Next game mentality
56:41And that's our mindset
56:42And that's our approach
56:43We need to win
56:44Next game
56:44Congrats on the win
56:46Thank you very much
56:46Back to you, Ian
56:47And Cassidy
56:48That next game
56:49Is tomorrow night
56:50When they host
56:51The New York Knicks
56:53The Lakers return home

56:56That's it
56:57From Ball Arena
