00:06coming right up the goal is to improve each time they take the floor emphasizing communication
00:12and effort we'll be right back for the tip happy to have you with us for nba basketball on 2k
00:19sports
00:20brian anderson here joined by grant hill tim legler and our reporter ali la force and a chance to see
00:27the latest edition of the power rankings always fun to see where everyone in the league stands
00:31taking a look at golden state they've risen to third in the latest power rankings playing well
00:36as of late when i look at this visiting team they're staying put but still towards the top
00:42in a decent spot midway through the schedule still tons of games left to prove they're a top tier team
00:49now the starting group for the visitors we've got mitchell kevin herter out there with rui achimura
00:55then it's andre drummond and it's ellis in at the two and for the wizards kispert is out there with
01:01chris middleton then there's sar then there's valal koulibaly and it's mccullum at the point
01:06and it's going to be washington off the tip all right tim the all-star break is coming up how
01:11much
01:12are players looking forward to that breather i think players really look forward to that break
01:17to re-energize themselves and coming out of that break pia it's a sprint to finish a lot of adrenaline
01:25kicks in surviving to the all-star break always the key milestone truly what it's all about
01:34mitchell the pass to ellis shoots over koulibaly and the first shot of the night for him no good
01:39and so mccullum will bring it up for the wizards
01:46drummond grabs the miss
01:49left side herter down low here's achimura and it's slammed in by achimura the ba when he gets
01:57the rim in his sights it's tough to stop so aggressive and a determined finisher nice
02:04now here's middleton looking at his stats he's putting up about seven and a half per game
02:09count it well that's the definition of versatility right there cj mccullum can score from anywhere on
02:16the floor mitchell with the ball mccullum defends and that one hits the back iron and you see the
02:23frustration on his face he had a great opportunity there and he blew it lets the three fly can't hit
02:30that one gone one for three so far and it's mitchell that time on the assist by herger i just
02:38love how
02:39he runs the floor with energy and intensity but still stays under control in this league you run
02:45whenever you can it's so much easier to score in transition that won't go either for mccullum
02:51with that much room around him it's hard to imagine he could have gotten a better shot
02:56and the last few seasons legs cj mccullum playing mainly point guard but for his career
03:01mostly at the two yeah listen he can play either certainly could be a lead guard when he needs to
03:08be
03:08but shooting and scoring off the dribble is really his bread and butter and he can get to it from
03:15any
03:15angle any platform in any situation great player regardless absolutely murder from long range
03:22count it from distance he's consistent from out there especially when you give him that kind of room
03:30here's mccullum uneasy too on the layup well it looked like the defense was there for the challenge
03:37but cj mccullum showing you his ability to fight through that mitchell into the lane and that one makes
03:44him two for two he's in his rhythm i love this approach getting him involved early and it's
03:50already paying off and we knew coming into this game we expected him to be very involved early
03:57and finished off by sar the frenchman cibou play taking flight you gotta like sar mitchell the pass to
04:06drummond now achimura drummond middleton covering here's mitchell off with the layup well give the
04:15defender credit sometimes it's enough to force the miss past the star now middleton
04:25and he lobs it up to the rim and finished off by sar oh man between his size and mobility
04:33the sar is the perfect lob threat
04:37mitchell the pass to ellis and a miss there on the triple and he probably thought he was going to
04:44bury that one and here's kispert from the arc middleton no good gone one of two from three point
04:53land so far pass to drummond takes a 13 footer rebound washington they come into this one following the
05:02loss to minnesota on the road they got owned defensively they just couldn't match the activity
05:08level of their opponent well that's the big challenge teams tend to feel more comfortable
05:13at home for sure so you have to find a way to disrupt their rhythm that just didn't happen in
05:19this one
05:19here's ellis after the basket by washington well the defense was daring him to take that shot and it
05:26paid off gulibali a good look that's in coming off an assist from mccullum gulibali's got his second
05:33basket of the game well that's what you love about cj mccullum he does a little bit of everything
05:38including distributing the ball and the visitors call time here
05:48let's go to the 2k leaderboard we look at the last month's premier teams on the fast break
05:54and you know over this stretch they've really had their way in the open court pushing the ball hard
05:59and getting those fast break points gotten five of 11 shots to go mitchell the pass to achimura over
06:07middleton and itachi murrah missing the wizards on offense a big stretch here going 10 to 2 and we're
06:15joined now by shams charania he's calling in with a story good to have you shams what's going on well
06:20the wizards stacking talented young players and draft assets not only that they'll have a ton of cap space
06:26next season which they will likely not use to sign a star free agent rather to absorb contracts in
06:31exchange for you guessed it more draft picks this front office is continuing to think long
06:37term guys priority straight all right jobs appreciate the report he hasn't helped the cause
06:42with his shooting but his teammates have had his back back to ellis
06:50drummond passes to herter and here's mitchell
06:54now here's achimura five on the clock no good that would have tied it
07:00to the paint here's mccullum and that's his fourth bucket in nine attempts and what's working
07:07here each guy is willing to make the next pass got six of 14 in so far
07:16mitchell good mitchell's got six it continues to make plays offensively having a very efficient quarter so
07:25timeout called here the first for washington
07:33for washington george he's checked in for koulibaly and it's carrington in for mccullum
07:44we've got a minute 48 left in the opening quarter here's sarr drummond grabs the miss wow that's
07:51embarrassing come on just put the ball in the hole gillespie passes to drummond shoots over sarr
07:58here's achimura and the layup is good six points for him yeah scoring off of missed
08:05shots that's a big part of his game
08:09here's carrington washington again can't hit
08:14gone one for three from beyond the arc inside here's herger dunks it hard with one hand wow he
08:22makes it makes it look easy surefire one-handed stuff yeah with his focus he's not gonna miss that
08:30george outside
08:34it's middleton on the wing
08:38he's off on that one achimura with the defensive effort shooting a solid 50 percent of the opening
08:44quarter james passes to gillespie here's drummond soft touch off the glass this run has been fueled by
08:54their matador defense
08:59outside carrington to win the run
09:02here's sarr throws it down and the official calls a foul it may be a three-point play it's gonna
09:11go on
09:11andre drummond washington shooting their first free throw of the night so for washington bagley
09:19comes in for middleton and it's johnson in for kispert
09:31the free throw drops for sarr obviously alexander sarr stature grabs your attention but he's stronger
09:39than he looks too and that can be a pretty dangerous combination if he learns to use it right
09:47washington has gone 0 for 4 from deep to start this one jack's up a three knocks down the long
09:53jay
09:54sarr's got 10. when you can shoot over the top of people and hit a high percentage from out there
10:01you are in rare company what a beautiful look attacking the defense and then kicking it outside
10:07the first quarter all wrapped up and it's been an exciting game so far wizards out in front they lead
10:14by one and we'll bring you the start of quarter number two when we return
10:26and we hope you're enjoying the game both teams tonight keeping things pretty even on the scoreboard
10:32so far and taking a look at washington's performance here guys what have they been doing or not doing
10:38well so far they've got things rolling along nicely at the offensive end yeah the energy was there the
10:44communication was there i think they can build on this going forward
10:50shooting efficiently 50 so far carlton carrington out there with johnson then there's george then it's
10:56marvin bagley and it's champagne at the four that's the group starting the second quarter for the wizards
11:04here's carrington and he can't answer back the three-pointer offline
11:10pass to watson
11:13here's gillespie covered by carrington
11:17watson now bassy over bagley bassy can't get it to go
11:25outside carrington
11:28here's champagne from downtown
11:31that won't go misses his first shot of the game and the defense got away with one there i mean
11:36that's the shot he typically makes gillespie passes to watson
11:44here's gillespie george defending gillespie can't get it to go
11:48wow you got to commend the defensive effort right there it really made a difference
11:53carrington no good he created the opening he got the angle unfortunately that miss is just on him
11:59we talk about nba wings legs what are the most important skills in your mind well everybody's
12:05going to talk about scoring and also being able to defend your position but for me to become an elite
12:11wing you also have to be able to create add that escapability with your handle and the first
12:18one at the line is good whitmore's checked in for champinney
12:32and so he hits both
12:38wizards trail by four it's tip
12:43to the inside and out of bounds the wizards will take it and we are so close to seeing the
12:49final
12:50list of dunk contest participants and you know anyone who might compete in this is so pumped who
12:55wouldn't be i mean if you're on that list you have to start practicing working with teammates to create
13:01new and different dunks well you look at koulibaly he's a long shot at this point but you never know
13:06well we'll just have to see but i personally would love seeing him in the dunk contest
13:11and we should have our final list of competitors in the coming days so we'll share that with you as
13:17soon as we have it no matter what that final list looks like safe to say this dunk contest is
13:22going
13:22to be one for the books well the defense needs to be better there they gave way too much space
13:32middleton looking around
13:36plenty of contact on that shot officials call the foul and he'll take two free throws now yeah and you
13:41never want to let shots at the rim go uncontested washington shooting their second and third free
13:46throws tonight
13:47and he makes a first all right tim let's focus on the law koulibaly six foot eight seven two wingspan
13:59my
13:59goodness man tremendous tools for a wing defender ba he was a late bloomer and he's still working on his
14:06skill level but if that comes along watch out now here's ellis he's coming off a 13 point game against
14:13minnesota but he also had an impact as a facilitator generating offense for others
14:21here's koulibaly watson with a rebound ah he bailed out the defense because that's an easy look for him
14:30back to mitchell mccullum with a steal
14:36to the middle and george with the jam
14:41got to give him credit for jumping on the ball and making the most at the other end boy inexcusable
14:46at this point of the game they got to be more composed in these moments and then the thunderous
14:52dunk adding insult to injury now here's mitchell against minnesota he was really on his game
14:58outside watson five to shoot here's ellis and the three-pointer goes ellis has gotten himself going
15:06here his first points of the game on the deep ball mccullum with it guarded now by mitchell
15:12and that one's good middleton that'll hype his guys up middleton right back with one of his own
15:21here's mitchell got it makes him four for six from the floor this is why they will go to him
15:27off
15:28and he's going to take and make shots washington calls timeout
15:39sars checked in for washington and now with a break in the action here's a look at some of the
15:45best
15:45passing big men in the league this season second is really achimura hey you have to credit the high
15:51basketball iq of these bigs they see the floor so well and that's whether they're facing up or
15:57dishing out of the post having a big guy who can create for others used to be a luxury but
16:03now it's
16:04a requirement and it makes your offense that much harder to defend now here's mitchell give him eight
16:12points now
16:16and here's mccullum 10 feet away james with the rebound yeah that's a sigh of relief heard from
16:24the bench weak defense didn't cost him that time here's drummond and he didn't get quite enough
16:30under that one and so it's george with it he brings it up for the wizards
16:36koulibaly with it picked up by james washington moving the ball around
16:41there's mccullum with the three drills it from deep mccullum's got 11 points and when you're
16:48trailing in a game it can be tempting to try to go for the big play the drive by mitchell
16:55goes back up that one's in there drummond with the assist
17:00drummond's got three assists now in this one well he's done everything you want offensively great
17:06shot selection and he is a big reason why they have the lead now here's koulibaly
17:12he's got five here's middleton and it's seven attempts he's drained three he is so confident
17:18from the mid-range middleton i mean i love seeing him look to score from there james outside
17:26and he banks in the layup james has got five points now in the quarter they're punishing those
17:32late defensive rotations getting good looks inside throughout the half and it's middleton driving and
17:38the bucket is good and four from just a jump shooter middleton stays active and is always ready
17:44to shoot and the visitors call time here
17:56and washington making a change here kispert's checked in it's february let's see how things are
18:03shaping up in the east take a look at the visitors here they're in fifth place
18:08right in the middle of the conference still time to improve that positioning
18:12and of course the wizards pretty far behind right now got three of five to fall from beyond the
18:18three-point line in the second down low the shot by drummond no good wizards trail by three
18:29back to mccullum
18:33from deep sar achimura with a rebound gone four of nine so far for the perimeter here's mitchell
18:43and the layup falls mitchell's got 12. the value of good ball movement isn't lost on this squad
18:56so it's washington now in today's nba you have to stretch the floor or you're going to struggle big
19:02time well when you shoot that poorly from deep the odds of winning get really slim in a hurry
19:08mccullum's shot is off
19:12we've gotten seven of 15 shots here in the second quarter james outside outside mitchell
19:20pass to james inside clock at six and the basket by achimura yeah i love that he comes off the
19:29pick
19:29and takes it right to the hole and the wizards shooting just around 33 percent since the second quarter
19:35got underway middleton no good got half their shots to fall in the second eight for 16 and he gets
19:46that
19:46one he's got nine and another great assist the offense is really clicking now and finished off by
19:55sar and after playing professionally in france we wondered what song would look like in the nba
20:00and you know i think our question is answered to the inside mitchell the pass to drummond
20:11out to james and here's ellis shoots over koulibaly top of the key jumper no good
20:21here's kispert that's good and it's mccullum with the assist mccullum's got assist number five here
20:28tonight pulling no punches attacking the heart of that defense now here's mitchell he's got 12
20:36that one goes count it man that's now 10 straight points in the paint i'm not sure what's happened to
20:43their defense man three-pointer is up middleton drummond grabs the miss drummond's got double
20:50digit rebounds now in the game ellis off target that would have pushed the lead to double digits
20:56kispert outside launches it the shot off that time and we've reached halftime in this one
21:04leading by seven and we'll be right back after halftime to get the third quarter underway
21:08this is the team for the team
21:28thanks for being with us and let's get straight into it with the players of the week
21:34for the west john morant well john morant has certainly been one of the most exciting guys to
21:40watch the athleticism are you kidding me never passes up an opportunity for a big play but also
21:47does the other stuff control the pace run the offense he's the complete package
21:53and now let's check out the game at hand it was a solid first half effort for the visiting team
22:00well they're playing bully ball inside so much so that shack i'm gonna let you take it oh yeah one
22:07two one two one two in the place to be most definitely they cease to paint like a mic me
22:14and ernie and can
22:16me thanks for tuning in now we head back to brian anderson for the start of the third quarter
22:41and we've got third quarter basketball here two quarters in the books
22:59uh
23:14shooting efficiently 50 so far they've got ruy achimura keon ellis is out there with mitchell
23:20then there's kevin herter and it's drummond in at the five their defense just falls apart once the
23:26ball goes inside well grant offense is trying to stretch the d to the breaking point but it goes
23:31beyond just three-point shooting yeah there's how you position on the perimeter but you know then you
23:37also want that vertical spacing too where you have a lob threat at the rim now here's koulibaly
23:44takes it inside takes it up with both hands and rips it down oh yeah that'll do it wow an
23:52emphatic
23:52two-handed slam the drive by mitchell got it mitchell's got 19 points they're finding ways to get the ball
24:00to the paint five consecutive buckets
24:07outside koulibaly
24:10from deep sar mitchell grabs a miss they really have a commanding lead not just in points but in
24:17rebounds as well here's herger lays it up and banks it in herders got nine they're winning the battle down
24:24low by imposing their will here's sar and finished off by sar now he's been reliable tonight but that's
24:31certainly not the case for his team in general
24:37pass to ellis outside her back to drummond now ellis three-pointer
24:45sar pulls it in sars got five rebounds tonight their first missed after hitting three straight shots
24:52but i like their aggressiveness coming out of the half setting each other up beautifully i love it
24:57eight of their last ten points coming off an assist now here's mitchell he's got 19.
25:05there's herder with the three that one falls coming off a drum and feed
25:10herders got five points in the quarter such an effective shooter if you lose track of him defensively
25:16he's gonna make you bang middleton passes to mccullum
25:23now middleton he's got 11 and the three off target
25:31achimura against middleton back to achimura over middleton and it comes off the front of the rim
25:37wizards trail by 11. pass to mccullum
25:44and he lays it up and in and it's 13 points for cj mccullum
25:48oh what a tricky shot cj he's showing off now a tremendously mobile seven-footer great defensive
25:56upside tim for alex sar and he's still working on his offensive game ba but he has the potential
26:02to be a disruptive defensive force with his length and agility now a timeout called by washington
26:16and we always like to take this chance to show
26:19the scoring leaders from the last 10 days of action
26:32a little over two and a half minutes off the clock in this final half of play outside kulevali
26:39kispert the pass to middleton three-pointer no good i'll tell you what they've rebounded the ball
26:46tremendously well here's drummond washington with a rebound sars got seven rebounds in the game
26:53the wizards trail by 11 and keeping us updated from the sideline ali la force
26:58hey the nba has its eyes on the old continent commissioner silver said there continues to be
27:04an enormous opportunity to take basketball to another level in europe the quality of the
27:09basketball there has been fantastic and we think there's a commercial opportunity to create something
27:13special okay ali appreciate the updates and the visitors call time here
27:34free throw good herder
27:40the wizards have gotten four of seven shots to drop in the third
27:43pass to star
27:46kicks it out to middleton
27:49looking to end this cold spell and it's good on the lay-in middleton's got 13. well to stop him
27:57you have to get better rim protection than that
28:02here's mitchell laid it in with a nice touch off the window yeah boy has he dialed in perfect from
28:09the field this period wizards trail by 14.
28:13outside koulibaly
28:18let's go with a three mitchell grabs the miss mitchell's got four rebounds now
28:25to the paint here's drummond
28:28and that one goes in as he's fouled it'll be three points if he converts the free throw
28:35first personal battle and he's got his first opportunity at the line here tonight george he's checked in for chris
28:44middleton
28:54and the free throw no good
28:57tim you got into the nba media very quickly after your playing days were you naturally drawn to this side
29:02of the game
29:03well ba i think i think i always saw the game as a coach would trying to watch all 10
29:09players
29:09at the same time so for me the ability to stay connected to the game while also talking about it
29:16and
29:16hopefully teaching people really is what's drawn me to it from the beginning and no suffering the l from the
29:23broadcast here
29:24that's for sure you don't have to have any sleepless nights got the ball right inside such a well-timed
29:31pass
29:33here's mitchell and he drops in the layup off the glass
29:38mitchell's got 11 in the second half and another bucket for him what a quarter he has had
29:46outside koulibaly to three george it's deflected out of bounds wizards ball as washington keeps possession
30:05mccullum with it 13 points in the game
30:10and he takes that one up and powers it through just great energy on the offensive glass that's
30:17exactly how you cut into a lead boy a slam like that he's sure to give him a spark
30:22now here's herger 15 points in the game and after putting it down he dangles from the rim a little
30:31man that's borderline taunting right there grand they're playing with a certain swagger right now
30:35that's a great look his teammate was on the move but he put it right where it needed to be
30:43pass to drummond it's watson on the wing
30:49ellis passes to drummond back to ellis to the inside here's hurter
30:57oh he's on fire eight for eight and just looking relentless if it ain't broke don't
31:03fix it they should continue to ride the hot hand
31:07here's the pick for three george that doesn't go either for george and they're plus five on the
31:14boards after that rebound herder finds mitchell now here's ellis
31:21now hurter mccullum defends unloads
31:26he goes up again second chance effort and hurter lays it up and in
31:31hurter's got 14 points now in the second half wizards trail by 16
31:38here's mccullum up and in on the layup ready to cash in i like when mccullum looks to mix it
31:45up like
31:45this and the visitors call time here
31:57so washington going with an almost entire new group here bagley's checked in for sar chris middleton
32:03comes in for kispert johnson he's checked in for koulibaly and it's carrington in for mccullum
32:11the visitors with the ball following this one they get to host the bulls and that's a one-game
32:16homestand for the club count it good watson's got five and trust me when the d's slow to react
32:23he'll be the first guy to make them pay well the way this game is going i'm actually not surprised
32:28it was that easy for him now here's johnson no made baskets yet
32:37now here is james has to print to the left wing shoots over george they get it back here's
32:45achimura who give him his fifth make of the game in 10 attempts a stronger defensive presence would
32:51have saved them two points nothing will drive your coach crazier than what you just saw lack of
32:58focused lack of effort johnson for three on target from range johnson's got his first bucket of the
33:05game and he's on the board for three
33:10here's gillespie covered by carrington second chance shot a nice shot by watson and when you're
33:16the ones trying to fight your way back into the game you simply cannot allow second chances well it's
33:22nearly impossible to chip away at a lead if you're giving up offensive rebounds
33:30and he can't get that one and here at the end of the third it's a double-digit ball game
33:35leading by 17 and we're coming right back after this break to get the fourth quarter started
33:51and let's take this opportunity to show you our state farm assist to the game you know i'm kind of
33:57stoked this was a choice because i love this pass a remarkable find he put his court vision on full
34:03display well he made it look simple but that's not always easy to execute
34:11well there may not be a lot of drama down the stretch as we head into the fourth quarter but
34:15stranger things have happened chris middleton is out there with marvin bagley then there's johnson
34:20then there's carlton carrington and it's george in at the small forward position that's the five on the
34:26floor for the wizards
34:34here's gillespie covered by carrington pass to achimura down low
34:41and it's watson missing
34:44the wizards trail by 17. here's carrington fires in the triple back-to-back threes making their defense
34:53work on the perimeter a bit shooting it well around 55 percent for the game
34:59prince the pass to gillespie back to prince fires the three rebound by the wizards
35:08here's george uses the glass to finish the layup and i like the fact they didn't settle there they
35:15work for a higher percentage shot
35:19it's prince on the wing
35:22as to gillespie
35:25oh nice finish from the low block that was good yeah everybody will remember the bucket but how
35:31about that pass to set it up and the wizards call timeout they're giving up a lot of points in
35:38the paint
35:39that's something they have to address here the rotations right now are just not good enough
35:45that's going to be a problem defensively all night
35:52time now to hear from our reporter ali la force
35:55over the break i listened in on what the head coach for the wizards was getting across in the huddle
35:59he questioned his team's effort asking them should i put in the bench right now wake up guys we can
36:05still win this game but i need you all to play like you believe you can not exactly a fun
36:09huddle
36:10to listen on guys all right appreciate it ali now here's carrington
36:17here's middleton and so he draws the foul headed to the line to shoot a pair
36:22it's on rui achimura a huge part of the milwaukee bucks 2021 championship run chris middleton yeah he
36:30averaged 24 points a game during those playoffs pa and his injury the following year was a big
36:37reason the bucks didn't repeat middleton at his all-star peak was something special
36:42sars checked in for bagley he does not get the second one a proven champion middleton is someone
36:49any team would love to have a great player and a great locker room presence as well
36:58there's the triple that's the three ball to go carrington's got six here in the quarter oh man i
37:05wish i played in this era with all of this space james outside over to the wing here's gillespie
37:16trying to answer back but that three is off the mark his offensive output just isn't there tonight
37:21but his teammates have found a way to pick up the sled with the step back there's carrington and it's
37:27washington with another they're making smart adjustments setting guys up for success and at the right
37:34time they could have let this game get away from them but they never stopped believing
37:42and he's now six for eleven after that one they're just taking what the defense gives them
37:47and right now that's the interior that's good by sar overall their shot selection has been much
37:54better here in the second half we'll see if the rest of their game follows suit
38:00pass to james banked it in off the glass we've seen that more than once today an effortless basket
38:08inside the wizards trail by 10
38:14here's carrington
38:17sar has the open look and they're going to count that bucket and they'll send them to the line it
38:22could be a three-point play so for the wizards kispert's checked in for george
38:28koulibaly comes in for johnson and it's mccullum in for carrington
38:44the free throw drops for sar
38:50gone over two from outside here in the fourth quarter to the middle
38:56and there's drummond that one's good on the assist by mitchell
39:00well if you came here looking for a scoring battle i think you made the right choice
39:04we thought this might be the case coming in not a lot of defense out there right now
39:10here's achimura rebound by middleton
39:15and here's mccullum he'll bring it up for the washington wizards
39:20no good from outside got four of eight shots to drop here in this final quarter
39:28and he got the whistle on the way up so he'll be headed to the line for a pair
39:43second first one falls for him
39:54and that's good as he hits both shots here's koulibaly they still have time to make this a game
40:00but they really need to focus in because they let this game get away from them a little bit
40:05pass to mccullum
40:08here's middleton
40:10drummond grabs the miss drummond's got his 16th rebound on the night here's herger
40:16back to achimura
40:20here's drummond off the left rim and out
40:26washington's gone two of three from beyond the arc here in the fourth
40:28pass to middleton lets it go from deep
40:33it's middleton on the wing and again washington no good well he was able to sink a triple back in
40:40the first half but he has yet to connect here after the break
40:44herder can't hit sometimes effort is more important than size his rebounding numbers tonight are proof
40:51that another miss by middleton so far this quarter he's been out of sync and might be pressing right
40:58now mitchell the pastor herder takes the three it's rebounded by washington far step rebound number nine
41:06now what an effort here tonight they get this rebound but they haven't been able to keep up on the
41:11boards
41:12they're lucky the game is as close as it is
41:15oh the three doesn't go going oh for three here on the fourth
41:21and it's mitchell penetrating the shot is money i mean they've been relentless just keep getting
41:27shots at the rim the wizards trail by 13.
41:33and here's middleton
41:37cash from downtown that right there that's the kind of look this system is designed to create
41:44and the visitors call time here
41:46one out on the floor awaiting timeout
42:01and here's mitchell
42:05and here's mitchell
42:06and here's mitchell
42:19now achimura
42:25shot clock at six
42:27the putback
42:31another shot
42:33oh he can't hit it
42:37and so mccullum will bring it up for washington from downtown
42:41achimura there for the rebound
42:44shooting only 36 percent since the fourth quarter started
42:49here's herger
42:53using the glass to lay it in
42:56i'll tell you i wouldn't want to draw drummond as my assignment inside you body him up pack him it
43:03still has no effect on him middleton
43:06misses the three yeah keeps on shooting keeps on missing maybe time to go in a different
43:16direction
43:17achimura
43:19the putback goes back up and that's how you get it to go inside really feels like they're in
43:25control they've got a big lead with time dwindling and this is where you really want to be mindful
43:31no turnovers no sloppy play now a timeout called by washington
43:36middleton they're behind my 14
44:02middleton
44:03Beyond the arc.
44:06Outside Koulibaly.
44:08Now McCollum.
44:11Goes again.
44:13Not that time.
44:15And it didn't go that time, but that's a shot he should feel confident in taking.
44:21Heard her outside.
44:29Six on the shot clock.
44:30Here's Hachimura.
44:33From 13.
44:36Ooh, the shot misses.
44:38And it's Wizards ball.
44:40It's a 14-point game.
44:42Book it.
44:48They can simply hold on to the ball here.
44:51No question, B.A.
44:52They deserve the win.
