14:18Here's Jokic able to hit that jumper
14:22David Adelman talking to us before the game said
14:25Jokic is certainly banged up right now
14:28The knee he said it's a real thing
14:29Some games more pop than others with it
14:32And then he mentioned the wrist
14:34Which you know we've seen the way the three point shooting
14:36Has fallen since he's come back
14:39He said with the wrist
14:40He just can't quite finish his shot all the way
14:43He said he's not using that excuse
14:45But I know it's frustrating for him
14:46And I think the turnovers also are playing a part in that
14:48With some of the things he's feeling
14:50Turnover number's really been sky high
14:52Nine in a game recently
14:53That is something he's probably frustrated him
14:56As much as anything passes he's used to making
14:58Are getting tipped, deflected, or a little bit late
15:01Jokic unable to hit that three
15:06He had shot at 44% from three
15:08Before the knee injury
15:0932% since his return
15:11Okogie rims out
15:13Jokic the rebound
15:14The fling ahead
15:15Brown leaking out
15:17Pumps it down
15:21Christian Brown one of the leaders in fast break points every year
15:24It's not just because he has Jokic
15:26It's his ability to contest
15:28Get out and also finish
15:30In traffic in contested moments
15:32But look when you've got a quarterback like Jokic
15:34It's good to be a receiver
15:37Eason
15:40Thompson will give it back
15:41Eason stood up by Bruce Brown and his mustache
15:45He's in
15:45That's going to be a shot clock violation
15:50That's a nice job by Bruce Brown right there
15:52Because it's one thing to be able to slide
15:54And get in front of somebody to cut him off
15:56But it's another thing that'll hold your ground
15:58Against somebody as strong as Tari Eason
16:00And that's exactly what Bruce Brown did
16:02He saw him turn
16:03And flexed to the bench a little bit
16:05Like you're not coming through this brick wall right here
16:07And force the turn over
16:08Yeah look if you've got a handlebar mustache like that
16:11You're going to get on the ground
16:12You better be forcing some turnovers
16:13You got to do
16:13You got to play like that mustache looks
16:17Could either of you pull that off
16:18Like is it actually
16:20Brian I can pull off anything
16:21Alright
16:21No but genetically
16:22That hair will grow for you
16:24Yes
16:24Okay
16:25I have actually no idea
16:27What the result would look like
16:30If I attempted something like that
16:31All right
16:31I want you
16:32Both of you to just show up that way Saturday
16:34And see what Green's reaction is
16:36Alright
16:36Here's what I do know
16:37I eat too much soup
16:39To wear something like that
16:40You know
16:41I've been walking around all day
16:43People staring at me for the wrong reason
16:45That's just not something I could do
16:47I hear you
16:48It's a little
16:49I mean it's handlebars
16:50But it's like a thick handle
16:51At the bottom there for Bruce
16:58Here's Jokic
17:01Jokic draws two
17:02And it knocked away
17:03Another one of those turnovers
17:05Good turnover too
17:06It was aggressive
17:07But also they had high hands
17:08When they put that double team on him
17:11Normally he's so used to
17:12Throwing that skip pass to the other side
17:14But it was a really good job
17:16By that second defender
17:17Getting tall
17:18And getting a piece of that basketball
17:19About a six second difference
17:21Game and shot clock
17:22Here is Shepard
17:24Deflected by Jokic
17:26Jones comes up with it
17:28Brown with time
17:29Gets denied
17:31But Christian Brown was there
17:33Foul though before the putback
17:34And Bruce Brown
17:35Is going to go to the line
17:37To shoot two
17:37Foul on Okogie
17:40This is a similar play
17:41Again
17:41A throw ahead
17:43If you're Houston
17:44You know the way that Denver
17:45Pushes that ball
17:46You mentioned it earlier
17:47Legs
17:47That they are going to play
17:48Earlier in the shot clock
17:50But a lot of that
17:51Is the advance passes
17:52From Jokic
17:52The throw ahead
17:53From Jamal Murray
17:54You can't give that up
17:55Two possessions in a row
17:56No you have to
17:57Particularly a team
17:58Like Houston
17:59Like they're so good
18:00In the half court defense
18:01They're a dominant
18:03Rebounding team
18:04Holding teams
18:04To one possession
18:05Most times
18:06So when you give up
18:07Those leak outs
18:08And those throw ahead
18:09You're just not making
18:10A team have to work
18:11At your half court defense
18:12And turnovers
18:13Create that
18:13That time it was
18:14Reed Shepard
18:15Taking a look at
18:16The upcoming national
18:17TV schedule
18:17Prime video tomorrow
18:19Sixers at the Pistons
18:21Thunder host the Celtics
18:23Which would be a great one
18:24Prime video Friday night
18:25Cavs at the Mavs

18:30Please go to NBA.com
18:31Or visit the NBA app
18:32Hey
18:33Hey
18:36Bruce Brown back in Denver
18:38And he has been critical
18:39For the Nuggets
18:41Navigating their other injuries
18:43Denver has a foul to give
18:44In fact that's their
18:45First foul of the quarter
18:48As Hardaway
18:49Astutely gives it
18:50And 1.2
18:52Remaining for Houston
18:56You don't want anything
18:58Going towards the rim
18:59You want Reed Shepard
19:00To throw it
19:00On the other side
19:02Of that three-point line
19:04Anything close to the basket
19:051.2 is actually
19:06A good enough time
19:08To get off a quality shot
19:09Aaron Gordon
19:11Coming in to try
19:12And defend anything
19:14Inside the arc
19:16Shepard
19:17Has to settle
19:18For Shangun
19:19Wow
19:20Shangun
19:22Gets fouled
19:23By Hardaway
19:24It's not on the shot
19:25But now
19:25Denver's over the limit
19:27So free throws here
19:29For Shangun
19:29No I actually think
19:30That was a good call
19:31The contact was there
19:32After Shangun caught it
19:33Like if you're
19:34Going to deny him
19:35As much as you want to
19:37At the start of that
19:38Once he catches it
19:39You've got to give
19:40A little bit of ground
19:41And space
19:42You know that he's
19:42Going to turn
19:43And lunge into you
19:44And try to get some contact
19:45I'm still surprised
19:46It's not three points
19:47Or three shots
19:49He caught it
19:50And went into
19:50His shooting motion
19:51I think he
19:52I think he bodied him
19:54Before he went into
19:55His shooting motion
19:56Let's see Richard
19:59So obviously
19:59There's contact
20:01He's grabbing his arm
20:02But right there
20:03That's where the foul occurs
20:05He's already in his motion
20:06So unless you're calling
20:07The foul on the grab
20:08Of a wrist
20:09Which even then
20:09You would want to make sure
20:10That the foul didn't occur
20:11Before the ball was released
20:13I don't think
20:13They were calling the grab
20:15Yeah
20:15On the inbounds pass
20:17I think it was after the catch
20:19Which to me
20:20Should be three free games
20:21I agree with you
20:23And I haven't said that
20:26It's nice to hear though
20:27Isn't it
20:29And to the first
20:30Denver by four
20:32Jamal Murray and Jokic
20:33How many times
20:34Have you seen this
20:35Their offense off
20:36To a good start
20:38But both these defenses
20:39Playing well
20:43Tonight's access
20:44Brought to you by
20:44Samsung Galaxy
20:45We're on the sidelines
20:46With Jabari Smith
20:47Jabari
20:47He may says he doesn't
20:48Call a lot of plays for you
20:49It's up to you
20:50To find your shot
20:50How are you finding him
20:51Early here today
20:53Just playing with my teammates
20:54They help her out
20:54Be in the pocket
20:56Just trying to be aggressive
20:57When I got mismatches on me
20:59And yeah
21:00Making shots
21:00Your all's calling card
21:02Is your physicality
21:03What did you think
21:03Of the defensive execution
21:04In the first
21:05I think it was good
21:06You know
21:06They made some shots
21:07Jamal made some tough shots
21:09But I think it's good right now
21:09I think everybody locked in
21:11Attention to detail is good
21:12And I'll put together
21:13A second quarter right here
21:14Thanks Jabari
21:16Brian
21:17Thank you Katie
21:18You know Katie mentioned
21:19The physicality
21:20We asked teammate
21:20Before the game
21:21What has been the difference
21:22For you guys
21:24In wins and losses
21:26More than anything else
21:27When you're going right
21:27And when you're not
21:28And he said
21:28It really comes down to it
21:30Shangum lays it in
21:32Physicality
21:33And effort
21:33He said
21:35We played with a different
21:36Level of effort
21:37Last night against Toronto
21:38Than we did against
21:38San Antonio
21:39When they lost by 25
21:40The game before
21:41And that's why coaches
21:42Call those things skills
21:43You know
21:44A lot of people say
21:44They're intangible
21:45And to a lot of coaches
21:46That's a non-negotiable
21:47And you would be shocked
21:49That it does vary
21:50With this team
21:51Because that is their identity
21:52But that's what they're
21:54Trying to figure out
21:54On a nightly basis
21:55And there's a few teams
21:56With them in that category
21:57Of inconsistency
21:59In the Western Conference
22:00And that's why
22:00Right now
22:01You have Oklahoma City
22:02San Antonio
22:03On a different plane
22:05Yeah
22:06Those standings
22:07Right now
22:08Houston third
22:10Denver six
22:11Separated by just
22:12A game and a half
22:12Then you have Phoenix
22:13Just a game below
22:15Denver in seventh
22:16So you have two and a half
22:17Games separating
22:18Three to seven
22:20As we play the final
22:22Fifteen, sixteen games
22:24Of this regular season
22:25Well and that's where
22:26These tiebreakers
22:27Come in so much
22:28The tiebreaker here
22:29Obviously
22:30Denver's up 2-1
22:31Houston
22:31Houston needs it
22:32There's another tiebreaker
22:33Situation coming up
22:34This weekend
22:35In the Lakers
22:35So for a lot of people
22:37They talk about
22:37The playoffs
22:38Somewhat already started
22:39You're jockeying
22:41For position
22:41You want home court
22:43Advantage
22:43Think about the home
22:44Court advantage
22:45You have if you're
22:45Denver
22:46If you're teams
22:47Like OKC San Antonio
22:48There's certain places
22:49That give you
22:50Such a substantial
22:52Advantage
22:52That you're fighting
22:53For that
22:54With 10-15 games to go
22:55How about
22:56Shang-Coon
22:57He's 0-4
22:58From the line
22:59He's not a great
23:00Free throw shooter
23:01But he's 69%
23:06And 0-4
23:07To start
23:08Hardaway
23:09Splash
23:10On the three
23:12What a year
23:13What an addition
23:14He's been doing that
23:14Throughout his career
23:15But man has he found
23:16A comfort level
23:17Here in Denver
23:18Reed Shepard
23:19With the answer
23:21Reed Shepard's
23:22Got to be up there
23:23For most improvement
23:23He's going to get
23:24When you look at
23:26The start of the season
23:27We had him a first game
23:28Last year
23:28This season
23:29First game of the year
23:30But how much
23:31He's improved
23:32Throughout the season
23:32Has been impressive
23:33Hardaway flying
23:34To the cup
23:35Lays it in
23:36Well to your point
23:36Richard
23:37Reed Shepard
23:38Has had the fourth
23:39Largest increase
23:40In the league
23:40In points per game
23:42Last year
23:42To this year
23:43When he's doing it
23:44On a playoff team
23:46He's doing it
23:47On the number three team
23:48So you have that increase
23:49When you have this amount
23:50Of talent around you
23:51That's very very difficult
23:53To do for a young player
23:54Also having to play
23:55On the ball
23:56In ways that he hasn't
23:58In a very very long time
24:00In college
24:00It's not
24:01That was not his game
24:02Something he was pointing out
24:03To us
24:04Earlier as well
24:10But he is
24:11Up to scoring
24:13Over nine points
24:14Per from last year
24:17Only
24:18Nikhil Alexander-Walker
24:19Ryan Rollins
24:20And Jalen Tyson
24:21Have had larger increases
24:23And what they're finding
24:24More and more
24:25Reed Shepard
24:26Need to be on the floor
24:27To close games
24:27Because of the spacing
24:28He provides
24:29The threat level
24:30That he provides
24:31On a team
24:32That does not take
24:33Or make a ton of threes
24:34But shoot a decent percentage
24:36It's just low volume
24:37Reed Shepard
24:38Answers a lot of that
24:39By himself
24:40Most nights
24:40Smith comes up
24:42With a steal
24:42Gets it ahead
24:43To Eason
24:44Running with Thompson
24:45Eason soars in
24:47For the finish
24:50Tari Eason
24:51Four points
24:53But that's eight rebounds
24:54Already in this game
24:55Yeah and defensively
24:56What he brings to the table
24:57When we talk about
24:58Consistent effort
24:59That's an area
25:00Where he has an impact
25:03Valanchunis
25:03Takes the three
25:05Bruce Brown
25:05Will take
25:13Smith has been aggressive
25:15Offensively early
25:16Thompson
25:16Through the body
25:18Able to finish
25:19Plus the foul
25:20But then Thompson
25:22Who's been on
25:22A nice run of late
25:23A chance for three
25:24His ability
25:26To absorb the contact
25:27In the air
25:28And then just wait
25:29For gravity
25:30To play a part
25:31In the defenders
25:33Next few moments
25:34While he just
25:35Continues to stay
25:35So he can release
25:36The ball
25:37When he wants to
25:38On his terms
25:38He doesn't have
25:39To get rid of it
25:40Too soon
25:40And that's why
25:41He's able
25:41To finish that
25:44He got that high
25:45Off vert
25:45There wasn't a
25:46One-two step in it
25:47The ball gets
25:48Dropped off to him
25:48And he just elevates
25:49The man is a young
25:50Pogo stick
25:52Third in the league
25:53In dunks
25:54And if you consider
25:55The players
25:56Who are ahead of him
25:56It's Rudy Gobert
25:58And Jalen Duren
25:59I mean he's obviously
26:00Just like a completely
26:01Different type of player
26:04To be in that category
26:05He's also fourth
26:06In the league
26:07In points in the paint
26:09Duren
26:10Zion and Alfred
26:12Shengun
26:12The only players
26:13Ahead of him
26:14That was the second
26:15Foul on Valanchunas
26:17As Murray can't hit
26:18The ramp back
26:19In for Houston
26:20Thompson
26:21Good lead feed
26:22To shengun
26:24For the flush
26:26You let shengun
26:27Get behind your defense
26:28That's what i'm saying
26:29You don't see him
26:30You don't see him
26:31In a dead sprint
26:32That often
26:36Cam johnson
26:39Off to valanchunas
26:41Spencer jones
26:42Gives it back
26:43Nice decision there
26:44From spencer jones
26:46One of the things
26:46That when we
26:47When we were talking
26:48With denver
26:49And you see
26:49Cam johnson
26:50Giving him the ball
26:51Giving him some
26:52Pick and rolls
26:53That's helped his
26:54His flow
26:55He played his best
26:56Basketball when he was
26:57Given that second unit
26:58Now you're not able
26:59To do it as much
26:59With jamal
27:00But when he's on the floor
27:01Putting the ball
27:02In his hands
27:03Will help his rhythm
27:04And flow
27:04As you see
27:05Reed shepard
27:06With that little floating
27:07Nice touch off the window
27:08There for shepard
27:09Yeah richard
27:10That was something
27:10That david adleman
27:12Was highlighting for us
27:13The way he
27:15Johnson played
27:16Off the bench
27:17When he was given
27:17That second unit
27:18Trying to get back
27:19To some of those
27:20Opportunities for cam
27:21To get him going
27:2435-33
27:25Denver leads it
27:26Murray with 11
27:29Hardaway has 8 off the bench
27:33Shangun
27:35Buried Valanchunas
27:36Under the cup
27:37Could have scored
27:38Either way
27:39Because I thought
27:39He was going to
27:40Shoot to his left hand
27:40It looked like he had
27:41The leverage
27:42The angle
27:42To shoot that
27:43Over the top
27:44Of Valanchunas
27:45With his left
27:45But I guess
27:46He just wanted to
27:46Make sure
27:47By getting back
27:48To that right hand
27:49A little jump hook
27:50Here's Johnson
27:52Nuzzling in
27:53And finishing
27:56Second possession
27:57In a row
27:57Ball gets in his hands
27:58He's able to get down
27:59To that right hand
28:00He just looks more
28:01Aggressive and confident
28:02Now those threes
28:03Start to feel
28:04A little bit easier
28:04Once you got
28:05A couple of jump shots
28:06Layups under your belt
28:07Rockets have made
28:08Their last five shots
28:09Durant pocket pass
28:11Shangun
28:12Perfectly executed
28:13So good right there
28:14When they run that action
28:15And particularly
28:16When you put Thompson
28:17Down there on the baseline
28:18In that spot
28:19The threat that he represents
28:21If you don't do
28:22A much better job
28:23At the point of attack
28:24On that ball screen
28:25You're just not going
28:26To have the numbers
28:27To play that lob
28:28Defensively
28:28Here is Murray
28:30Murray
28:30Murray can't push it in
28:32And a foul
28:34Against Houston
28:36Tied at 37
28:37Midway through the second
28:40This is the lead offense
28:41Watch Shangun with the short roll
28:44Because if Johnson steps up
28:45You already know what it is
28:47Easy finish
28:48Tie game
28:55I auto zone Richard
28:57And this is what I'm talking about
28:58Watch this play here
28:59Shangun gets underneath the zone
29:01Now you're dead
29:02You got lob
29:03You got corner three
29:05If Jamal Murray cracks back
29:06You got a wide open shot
29:07If Cam Johnson doesn't step up
29:09Shangun gets to get in
29:10That play they could run
29:12Time and time again
29:14And hit a different player
29:15And get a different shot
29:16That is a very very difficult guard
29:18The only thing I'll say
29:19About that defensively
29:20Cam Johnson committed
29:21Way too soon
29:22And too high on that
29:24I think
29:24You got to wait back
29:25A half a count
29:26And make Shangun
29:27Make a decision
29:28He didn't do it
29:29By Cam Johnson running up
29:30It made the game
29:31So easy for Shangun
29:32Then that's the obvious love
29:34Because Jamal Murray's
29:35Not going to have time
29:35To get all the way down
29:36To the baseline
29:37So if they run that again
29:38And they get it on the short roll
29:39Who's ever guarding
29:40The dunker spot
29:41You've got to be a little bit
29:42More patient
29:43Before you just rush up the lane
29:46So they should run it again
29:48I would run that
29:48With this personnel package
29:50They're having a game right now
29:51And who Denver has
29:52On the floor defensively
29:53Although they got
29:54Valanchunas out of the game
29:55But they talked about
29:56Wanting to attack Jokic
29:57Some too
29:58In ball screen
29:59So you can run it
29:59Against Jokic as well
30:00I would run more of that
30:01With Durant and Shangun
30:02Regardless
30:03Because of how Shangun
30:04Is on that short roll
30:06The decisions he makes
30:09Murray hits that
30:10Both teams have struggled
30:10A little from the line
30:11In the early going
30:12Denver two for four
30:13Houston is one for six
30:18About midway through
30:19This second quarter
30:20Denver
30:21A one point lead
30:22On Houston
30:23Denver trying to secure
30:24The season series
30:25Houston trying to tie it up
30:27At two apiece
30:29That time
30:30Cam Johnson comes up
30:31Knocks it away
30:32From Shangun
30:32Here's Bruce Brown
30:34Thought better of it
30:35Jones slicing in
30:36Couldn't finish
30:42Durant
30:43Can't hit
30:45Deflected to Murray
30:46And Denver controls
30:49Here's Cam Johnson
30:51Firing away
30:52A little short
30:53And a foul
30:54Here
30:54Going to keep things
30:55With Denver
30:55That's the shot
30:56That he just has not
30:57Been consistently able
30:58To make since he's been
30:59In Denver
31:00And you know
31:00You look at the touches
31:01For a guy like Cam Johnson
31:03I was looking at it today
31:0451 of his 57 games
31:07Last year
31:07He took 10 or more
31:08Shots in Brooklyn
31:09Yeah
31:09He's only done that
31:1013 times all season
31:11In Denver
31:11I know he was out
31:12For a stretch with injury
31:13But that's a big difference
31:14To a guy
31:14When you talk about
31:15Rhythm on three point shots
31:17And David Adelman
31:17Alluded to it
31:18RJ
31:18He said
31:19Look you're just not
31:20Going to get
31:20That many opportunities here
31:21If you get a few
31:22You better be able
31:23To make one or two of them
31:25Murray
31:25Another middie
31:27For Jamal Murray
31:28And that's why
31:29David Adelman also said
31:31He wanted to create
31:32Some more opportunities
31:32For Cam Johnson
31:34To just feel the ball
31:36To have it in his hands
31:37To be able to
31:38Get comfortable
31:39And get a rhythm
31:41Durant loses it
31:43Out of bounds
31:44Going to stay here
31:45With 12th issue
31:47Richard I also want to say
31:48You know
31:49We were drawing some attention
31:50To Bruce Brown's
31:51Handleball
31:51Mustache earlier
31:52A lot of people
31:53Send in pictures
31:54Including our very own
31:56Malik Andrews
31:56You with San Antonio
31:58You had a little
32:00Doty going on
32:01Yeah
32:01One of my good friends
32:03Was having his 30th birthday
32:04It was a dirty 30
32:05So we all grew out
32:06Mustaches
32:06And I might have gone
32:08To the party
32:08Looking like Bruce Brown
32:09Mine had a little bit
32:10More girth on the side
32:11Though
32:12It was
32:12It was filled in
32:14It was connected
32:14You had a little less
32:16Up top though
32:16Above the flip
32:17It looked like
32:17Yeah
32:18A little bit less
32:18Fertilizer on that area
32:19It was red
32:20That's why
32:25Oh able to squeeze it in
32:26Akogi
32:27Put a little English on it
32:28It's a tough finish
32:29That's his first point
32:30In the last four games
32:31So he wants to get on the board
32:32Any way he can
32:33And that's a really
32:34Nice finish
32:35Through a much bigger defender
32:37In Jokic
32:37Here's Brown
32:39Back to Jokic
32:40Little runner
32:41Gets the role
32:43For Nikola Jokic
32:44Who has 6.6 rebounds
32:47Six assists
32:48Already
32:50Final meeting
32:51Between these teams
32:52This season
32:53Denver
32:54Denver with the 2-1 series lead
32:56All coaches
32:57Aware of
32:59Tiebreakers
32:59This time of year
33:00Both of them
33:01David Adam and
33:01N.E.
33:02Maodoka
33:02Brought it up to us
33:03Before the game today
33:04As
33:05A 5-second
33:07Backdown call
33:08Wow
33:10First one I've seen
33:11This year
33:11Wow
33:12You guys are all
33:13Excited about this
33:14I haven't seen this
33:14Since Charles Barkley
33:16In 97
33:16A shooting star
33:18Well when you heard
33:18The whistle
33:19You were just certain
33:20It was about to be
33:21An illegal defense
33:22For sure
33:23What else could it be
33:24Instead the 5-second
33:26Backdown rule
33:27Wow
33:30And that is going to be
33:31An offensive foul
33:33On Jokic
33:34As
33:35He shed
33:36Let's see
33:37Alright
33:371
33:372
33:393
33:394
33:405
33:43I'm not sure how long
33:44It was
33:45You were a little
33:45Inconsistent
33:46Yeah
33:47It wasn't the same
33:48Cadence
33:48Between the numbers
33:49Really
33:49A little different
33:50Alright
33:501-2 was a really
33:52Long time
33:53And then 3-4-5
33:54Was a little quicker
33:55So if we're playing
33:56Yard football
33:57You'd be saying
33:58Whoa, whoa, whoa
33:58You can't charge
33:59The quarterback yet
34:00On that count
34:00You would get to
34:015 Mississippi
34:02Real quick
34:02Yeah
34:06Always would yell
34:07Quicker on third down
34:09Here's Duran
34:12Finding the cutter
34:13Akogi
34:13Nice decision
34:14And Thompson
34:15Lays it in
34:16It's a heck of a pass
34:17From Josh Akogi
34:18I honestly don't know
34:19How he got that
34:20Through there
34:21That's a great cut
34:21And that
34:22Had to wrap that
34:23Around the defender
34:24On the baseline side
34:26That's a great finish
34:26By Thompson
34:27As well
34:30Hardaway
34:33Hopping through the lane
34:34Can't finish it
34:36Good job by Akogi
34:38To come back
34:38And become a factor
34:39On the glass
34:40When it looked like
34:41Jokic
34:42Was camped
34:43Another rebound
34:44Akogi giving him
34:45Good minutes tonight
34:46Dorian Finney-Smith
34:47Out
34:47Doing a little bit
34:48Of load management
34:50With that ankle injury
34:51So Akogi
34:52Getting the call
34:53Tonight
34:53And has played well
34:54A couple of baskets
34:55And been involved
34:56In some plays
34:56Like that
34:57Right there
34:57The interior passing
34:58Second assist now
35:00Off of his own
35:01Dive into the middle
35:03Of the lane
35:03But you want to know
35:04Why he's third
35:06In the NBA
35:06Dunks
35:07Look at where
35:07Houston puts him
35:08He's one of the guys
35:09That runs point guard
35:10Well then will sit
35:11In the dunker
35:12Talking about him
35:13At Thompson
35:14Here's Jokic
35:18Trying to take
35:19Cengun
35:20Jokic
35:21Dishes out
35:22Hardaway
35:23Rhythm dribble
35:24And hit
35:25Durant palms
35:26The rebound
35:27Thompson
35:28He saw it
35:29Before it developed
35:30Now Jokic
35:33Intercepts the pass
35:34Picked up the dribble
35:37Brown
35:38To the cup
35:39Caresses it home
35:41In a tightly played
35:47First half
35:47Denver's largest lead
35:49Seven
35:49Houston's five
35:51Currently a one point
35:52Nuggets advantage
35:55Cengun
35:55Giving space
35:56Short on a three
35:58Hardaway
35:59Springs it ahead
36:00Two on one
36:01Johnson lays it in
36:03And Imei Udoko
36:04Will take a timeout
36:07Imei saying
36:08Run to play
36:08Run to play

36:56By the way
36:56In that Western
36:57Conference race
36:58With all these teams
36:59Bunched together
37:00I'm bummed to be
37:01Missing that
37:01That Clippers
37:02Kings game
37:06You were looking
37:07Forward to that one
37:08Were you?
37:08Yeah
37:08Okay
37:09Kings have won
37:09A couple games
37:10In a row
37:11Knocked away
37:12Brown and Jokic
37:13Here's Brown
37:15Swinging in
37:20Eight assists
37:21For the Joker
37:21Who has six points
37:22And seven rebounds
37:23And this is
37:24Christian Brown
37:24Playing to his strength
37:25RJ mentioned it earlier
37:26How he's always
37:27One of those guys
37:28That's up there
37:29With fast break points
37:30The injuries
37:31Have made his numbers
37:33A lot different
37:34Than they were
37:34A year ago
37:35This is about
37:36As active
37:37As I've seen him
37:38In the open court
37:38Since he came back
37:39Durant
37:40No
37:42Durant yet
37:42To really get going
37:43As Capella
37:44Sprakes it up
37:461.35 to go
37:48Here in the first half
37:49Jokic off the steal
37:51Lumbering ahead
37:52Oh what a look
37:54Brown lays it in
37:55On a gorgeous touch pass
37:57From the three-time MVP
38:03Nine assists
38:04In the first half
38:05For Nikola Jokic
38:09Denver's match
38:10It's largest lead
38:12It is seven
38:13Meanwhile
38:13The joker has five steals
38:15In this first half
38:17Hardway
38:18Battling on the glass
38:19Smith wins it
38:21Thompson has choices
38:22Capella
38:23Is the option
38:28You know guys
38:29It's amazing
38:29We were just talking
38:30At the break
38:30You could tell
38:30Like David Adelman told us
38:32And like we observed
38:33Just watching him
38:34Nikola Jokic
38:35Clearly is not moving
38:36At full bloom
38:37Coming back
38:38From that knee injury
38:40But
38:42Even still
38:43Six points
38:44Seven rebounds
38:45Nine assists
38:45Five steals
38:47He's the best
38:48And he's able to draw a foul
38:51Jokic is trying to ask
38:52For a shot there
38:53Which
38:54Is
38:56It's funny to me
38:57Because that's just
38:58The competitiveness
38:59Watch this
38:59He gets this
39:00He knows that he's
39:01He's got his arm in there
39:02He's like hey
39:03I was shooting
39:04I mean
39:05Kevin Durant
39:06They used to give that call
39:07To him
39:07You know
39:08Six seven years ago
39:09Before they changed that rule
39:10The side to side
39:11Versus the up and down
39:12The interesting thing is
39:13He was actually
39:13Going up
39:14He just wasn't facing the hoop
39:16Yeah that 92 foot
39:18Like
39:19Jump shot
39:20When you have to turn
39:21Your body
39:21In mid air
39:22Is much more difficult
39:23Yeah
39:23Like a straight on
39:2492 footer
39:25Right
39:26Turn around
39:28The 90 degree mid air
39:30Turn
39:31Murray
39:32Can't bank it in
39:33Durant the rebound
39:34Two for one opportunity
39:35For Houston
39:38Durant just two for four
39:39In this first half
39:40Good trap there
39:41From Denver
39:42They also may have
39:43Burned the two for one
39:44They did
39:50Bench is calling
39:51For Reed Sheppard
39:52To come set the screen
39:53Finally
39:53James
39:54Just three to shoot
39:56Eason one to shoot
39:57And Joker nearly
39:58Had another steal
40:02Second foul on Jokic
40:05And first foul in the last two minutes
40:08Against Denver
40:10And you gotta be smart on this
40:12Jokic there was 1.2 seconds left
40:15When that foul occurred
40:16Even going across his body
40:18You just gotta live with that shot
40:21You're not worried about his fouls
40:22But why
40:23Why put them in that position
40:25But you had a foul to give
40:26Looking like he might have gotten it cleanly there
40:28Yeah, but you're still going across the body
40:30I hear you
40:30You're putting it in the referee's hands
40:37Got a three second difference now
40:39Game and shot clock
40:41Durant
40:43Double
40:44Finds Eason
40:45Center the lane
40:46Houston been doing all of their work in the paint
40:49That's 40 paint points in this first half
40:52And I think that the late blitz
40:53Confused the backside of the defense
40:55Brown splash
40:57One of three Christian Brown having a big half
41:02She can't get 13 for Christian Brown
41:06Six of seven from the floor in Denver
41:10A six point lead in the half
41:12Coming up on halftime presented by Hyundai
41:15Best crossover this season
41:17Malika Andrews coach Michael Malone
41:19Brian Wynorris and Perk
41:21Have the Hyundai halftime coming up
41:26Well, we got a six point game at the break
41:28As we welcome you inside our Los Angeles studios
41:30Alongside Brian Wynorris, Michael Malone
41:32Kendrick Perkins
41:33I'm Malika Andrews
41:34All right, gentlemen, let's dive right in
41:36We've had some back and forth
41:37Some ugly moments in the first half
41:38And yet we got a close one here, coach
41:40Well, you have the
41:41One of the greatest scorers of all time
41:43In Kevin Durant
41:43And the Denver Nuggets are not letting him play tonight
41:46Yep
41:46They are blitzing him
41:47They are double teaming him in the post
41:49He's only got four shots
41:50And this is a great example of it
41:52He's looking to turn the corner
41:53He's seeing a crowd
41:55And Denver's forced 10 turnovers
41:57And that leads to easy offense
41:59Christian Brown, one of the best transition players in the league
42:01As he's trying to get downhill
42:03We talk about gravity all the time
42:05In modern day NBA parlance
42:07This is a great example of all the gravity he's creating
42:09And then Denver's doing a really good job of taking him off
42:12And they're basically saying, Perk
42:14No one else can beat them
42:15They don't think anybody else in Houston
42:17Is good enough to beat them
42:18And you know what the nuggers are yelling?
42:20He with us!
42:21You remember we used to do that to non-shooters?
42:25The Rockets are shooting 14% from the three-point line
42:27Yeah
42:28I would trap Kevin Durant in the half-court set too
42:30But that's why
42:31And 16% from the foul line too
42:33And that's horrible
42:34But that's why the Rockets
42:35They have to make sure that their identity is defense
42:39And they get stops and get out and run
42:42Yeah
42:42Because as we saw in the second quarter
42:44Look, when they got stops
42:45When they got deflections
42:47They got out in transition
42:48They're too athletic
42:49Not to be leading the league
42:51Or one of the tops in transition buckets
42:53And so when you look at these guys
42:56Spreading the floor
42:57The wings
42:57The athleticism
42:59Edmund Thompson for the N1
43:01Shang-Goon
43:02Getting up and down the floor
43:03Running
43:04That's the only way that they're going to
43:06Be able to
43:07Hang in games
43:09And win games
43:09Is defense to offense
43:11And then to your point
43:13E-May Udoka only could do a little bit
43:15When it comes to putting Kevin Durant in position
43:18Against the ball
43:19Where he's not getting double-teamed
43:21That's why they're missing Fred VanVleet
43:23And need a point guard
43:24The Rockets have 20 baskets in the paint
43:26That's awesome
43:28They got 40 paint points
43:29Out of 47 total points
43:31They only got 47
43:32Right
43:32That just ain't going to work in the modern NBA
43:34On the Denver side
43:36I think Jamal Murray looks good on that ankle
43:38He looked a little bit hobbled the other night
43:41In Oklahoma City
43:41Real good first half
43:42And Christian Brown
43:43With a real good first half
43:44Well all this could be setting up
43:45For that truly stoppable force
43:46And a very movable object
43:48In the Rockets clutch time offense
43:50And the Nuggets clutch time defense
43:51Potentially coming to a collision here coach
43:54Well and it's been a tough year
43:55For the Nuggets in the clutch
43:57Which is something that we're not used to seeing
43:58And they got 17 games to go
44:02To try to figure it out
44:03And this is the second half
44:06Back to back for Houston
44:07Hopefully
44:07They can find a way to stay in the game
44:10And we can get that
44:11Late game clutch situation
44:12To see who can execute
44:14And have discipline
44:15And get stopped
44:15I happen to know
44:16That they landed at 12, 19 a.m.
44:18Mountain time last night
44:20Little known fact about Brian Wenhurst
44:22Elite plane tracker over here
44:26Upper in Shengu
44:27That's okay
44:28The airport's close
44:28And they call it the windy watch
44:30For a reason
44:31Cleared for takeoff
44:32The guy right there
44:33Perk
44:37This halftime is presented by the all-new Hyundai Palisade
44:40Visit
44:42Coach, it's now time for tonight's epic moment
44:44It's brought to you by Hyundai Palisade
44:46What do you think?
44:47Crossover of the year?
44:48I'll tell you what
44:49Noah Pender
44:50Stay down
44:51Down goes Frazier
44:55I mean, we've seen a couple that could qualify here
44:59That was a spin move component in it
45:02Oh, man
45:02He said he already had the answers
45:04He just beat the
45:05Cha-Cha now
45:06That was an iconic quote
45:07Oh, when you touch grass
45:11Then you know
45:12Behind the back
45:13Left to right cross
45:15Uh-oh
45:15Oh, this is
45:17This is rough
45:18That's
45:19What does Mark Jones say?
45:21Put him on a flight
45:21Like an IG model
45:23Keep him out of the Hummer
45:25Well, mellow
45:26Ice in his veins
45:29Nikola Jokic, I mean
45:31Are you aware that he's on pace for a quintuple double tonight
45:37If you count steals and turnovers
45:39How do you spell quintuple?
45:40I don't know how to spell
45:41Q-tuple
