00:00:00Когда мы говорим о Стефан Кассел и как он делает such a great job
00:00:03of being undersized and playing very, very physical,
00:00:05that's sort of been the recipe for guarding Obiktor Wimbanyama.
00:00:10Он gotten better at playing against that as the season's gone on,
00:00:13but the Hornets are a little bit undersized starting lineup,
00:00:16so play fast, but play physical, right?
00:00:20Don't give him anything easy, and most stuff is easy for him.
00:00:24Yeah, and I think if they're going to switch pick and rolls,
00:00:26you're going to have the front.
00:00:27You cannot get behind him, let him get behind the guys
00:00:29because he's going to catch all the lobs.
00:00:31He gets spaced the floor and shoot the three.
00:00:32But it's easier said than done.
00:00:34It's going to be a tough task, and hopefully they can get it done.
00:00:36You know, just because this is always a subplot throughout the season,
00:00:39Wimby can only miss three more games before he is ineligible
00:00:43for end-of-the-season awards.
00:00:44He obviously came into today questionable,
00:00:47but luckily we are going to see him on the court today.
00:00:49But let's talk about Charlotte a little bit.
00:00:51Brandon Miller has been phenomenal.
00:00:53What have you seen from him, Steve?
00:00:55Well, he's a really well-rounded player.
00:00:56He's a guy that can obviously space the floor of the shooting.
00:00:58He can score off the balance.
00:01:00He's got length.
00:01:01He can switch defensively.
00:01:02So he's just a very well-rounded perimeter player
00:01:05with a gift for scoring, great touch.
00:01:07So when you look at that perimeter for the team,
00:01:09they fit so well together.
00:01:10You know, now they're starting to find a way, a style,
00:01:12an identity together, playing out of their ghost game,
00:01:15quick actions, moving it, getting to the next action,
00:01:18which makes each one of them better.
00:01:19And so their ability to make each other better,
00:01:21I think he's a really key component of that.
00:01:23I think most important, just being available.
00:01:25You know what I mean?
00:01:25He's been dealing with injuries from time on.
00:01:26He has a shoulder injury now, but he's playing at a high level.
00:01:30But the good thing is he rebounds the ball.
00:01:32When he get it, he can push the break itself.
00:01:33He make plays for others.
00:01:35But he's athletic, shooting three.
00:01:36He's doing a lot of great things this year.
00:01:38Yeah, I mean, one thing that kind of flies under the radar,
00:01:40the Charlotte Hornets are the only team in the NBA
00:01:42with four guys averaging over 17 and a half points.
00:01:45Like, that's tough to defend.
00:01:46It's tough to game plan for when, you know,
00:01:48so many guys are averaging that,
00:01:49anybody can go for 30 on any given night.
00:01:51All right, going to be a good one.
00:01:53Some young teams, Spurs and Hornets
00:01:55own the two longest active playoff droughts in the NBA.
00:01:57Spurs are ending that.
00:01:59Hornets trying their best.

00:03:45Victor Wimbanyama,
00:03:46last year's rookie of the year,
00:03:47Stephon Castle,
00:03:48and the veteran point guard,
00:03:50De'Aaron Fox.
00:03:51That five,
00:03:51when they start games,
00:03:5314 and two.
00:03:55Good golly.
00:03:57Spurs last played
00:03:58a couple of days ago
00:03:59against Denver
00:04:00in this building.
00:04:01They lost.
00:04:02Rare loss
00:04:02for Mitch Johnson's bunch.
00:04:04They have been hotter
00:04:05than Amarillo in August.
00:04:08They've won 16
00:04:09of the last 18 games,
00:04:10Del Curry.
00:04:11Yeah,
00:04:11whether they play here
00:04:12or on the road,
00:04:14they are playing
00:04:15some really good basketball
00:04:16as well as the Hornets'
00:04:18last game
00:04:19of their four-game
00:04:20Western Conference road trip.
00:04:22Two and one,
00:04:23lost a tough game
00:04:24up in Phoenix
00:04:25a couple of nights ago,
00:04:26but these guys,
00:04:27the Hornets,
00:04:27playing very well
00:04:28on the road
00:04:29and they're getting
00:04:30the best shot
00:04:30of their opponent.
00:04:31Both these teams are
00:04:32because of how well
00:04:33they played recently.
00:04:35Victor Wimbanyama
00:04:36should be as fresh
00:04:37as a daisy.
00:04:38Didn't play
00:04:38a couple of days ago.
00:04:40Dealing with a bit
00:04:40of an ankle injury,
00:04:41they want to make sure
00:04:42that this guy
00:04:42is a man in full
00:04:43once the postseason
00:04:44runs its course
00:04:46because he can make
00:04:47all the world
00:04:48of the difference.
00:04:49Yeah,
00:04:49and I really think
00:04:50he had this game
00:04:52circled to make sure
00:04:53he was healthy
00:04:53and ready to go.
00:04:54Did not have
00:04:55the normal
00:04:57Wimbanyama game
00:04:58in Charlotte,
00:05:00so he wants
00:05:01to redeem himself
00:05:01and get a big-time
00:05:02win here
00:05:03in San Antonio
00:05:04on a Saturday afternoon.
00:05:06A couple natives
00:05:07of Paris
00:05:07will jump center
00:05:08here in San Antonio,
00:05:09Texas,
00:05:10and Wimbanyama
00:05:11whims it by about a foot.
00:05:13Wow!
00:05:14Everything that guy does
00:05:15is just so different
00:05:16than every human
00:05:16on the planet.
00:05:19San Antonio
00:05:20starts with the ball.
00:05:22This is Champagny.
00:05:24Champagny
00:05:25able to squeeze
00:05:25it up and in.
00:05:27Only a three-point shooter
00:05:29saw an opening
00:05:30explode into the bucket.
00:05:32Spurs on the board
00:05:34early.
00:05:34Got to give a shout-out
00:05:35to Champagny.
00:05:35Julian now playing
00:05:36in his 171st
00:05:38straight game.
00:05:40Diabate
00:05:40to the rim!
00:05:42First two
00:05:43for the Frenchman.
00:05:44About to fake
00:05:44by Diabate
00:05:45to get Wimbanyama
00:05:46off his feet.
00:05:48Oh!
00:05:49Castle
00:05:49misses his reverse.
00:05:51He's still on the ground.
00:05:52The Hornets
00:05:52charging the other way.
00:05:55Alley-oop
00:05:55too strong
00:05:56for Brandon Miller.
00:05:58Here's to Aaron Fox.
00:06:01And Fox,
00:06:02oh my goodness
00:06:03he's done that before.
00:06:04So crafty
00:06:05when he gets in the lane.
00:06:07Still fast
00:06:08with or without
00:06:09the basketball
00:06:09and it can go
00:06:10either way
00:06:10but how about
00:06:11Wimbanyama
00:06:12breaking up
00:06:13that lob play
00:06:14and then Fox
00:06:14back across the green
00:06:16and then gets to the left hand.
00:06:17Takes the hit
00:06:18and one.
00:06:20May not be
00:06:20a more perfect last name
00:06:22for that player
00:06:23that he is
00:06:23than De'Aaron Fox.
00:06:24He's sly,
00:06:25he's clever.
00:06:26Crafty.
00:06:27Yep.
00:06:28All of them.
00:06:28Now in his ninth year
00:06:29but his first full season
00:06:31here with the Spurs.
00:06:35Diabate
00:06:36not much of a threat
00:06:37out there.
00:06:40Ball.
00:06:42Diabate.
00:06:44Ball with a runner.
00:06:45That's his game.
00:06:46Yeah, no doubt.
00:06:46That is what
00:06:48Musa provides
00:06:48at the top
00:06:49just that DHO
00:06:50gets in the way
00:06:51of a defender
00:06:52and O'Mello
00:06:53has options
00:06:54where to shoot
00:06:55the three
00:06:55or the runner.
00:06:56And Wimbanyama
00:06:57gets himself
00:06:58a foul call.
00:07:06Wimbanyama
00:07:07thinks he's getting
00:07:07free throws.
00:07:08Walked quickly
00:07:09to the free throw line.
00:07:13So it would be
00:07:14side out of bounds.
00:07:16Spurs
00:07:17second best record
00:07:18in the Western Conference
00:07:19looking up at only
00:07:20Oklahoma City.
00:07:23Mitch Johnson
00:07:23of course
00:07:24took a takeover
00:07:25for Greg Popovich
00:07:26early a season ago
00:07:27and has really
00:07:28put a stamp
00:07:29on his team.
00:07:31Wimbanyama
00:07:31a three-pointer.
00:07:33How about that?
00:07:34Fox sets it
00:07:35down screen
00:07:35for your center
00:07:36to get up
00:07:37with four and three.
00:07:38Lovell ball
00:07:40his first three-pointer.
00:07:42But you cannot rest.
00:07:44Either team cannot rest
00:07:45on a main field goal.
00:07:46Both these teams
00:07:46want to get the ball
00:07:47up and down the floor
00:07:48and find the first
00:07:49available.
00:07:50Wimbanyama
00:07:50survived some contact.
00:07:52Got mismatched
00:07:53with Bridges right there
00:07:55and throw it over the top.
00:07:56He took a lot of contact.
00:07:57Still made the bucket.
00:07:58Bridges first shot
00:07:59of the game
00:08:00and the longest
00:08:01tenured Hornet
00:08:01hits a left hand
00:08:02at three.
00:08:03Mismatched on the other end
00:08:05and Bridges
00:08:06a three
00:08:07over Wimbanyama.
00:08:0910-10
00:08:10no notes.
00:08:12Here comes Charlotte.
00:08:14Ball.
00:08:16Got it.
00:08:17And the Charlotte Hornets
00:08:18lead by three.
00:08:20Lovell ball
00:08:21has really put forth
00:08:22a lot of effort
00:08:23on the defensive end
00:08:23and pays off for him
00:08:24right there.
00:08:25Got a hand on that ball
00:08:26and eventually leads
00:08:27to an open three.
00:08:30Champagny,
00:08:30his first triple
00:08:31is up and down.
00:08:33If you're wearing 30,
00:08:34folks,
00:08:34you better be able
00:08:35to stroke it from distance.
00:08:36You better hold
00:08:36a follow-through
00:08:37if you've got 30
00:08:38on your jersey.
00:08:39This game
00:08:40has started much like
00:08:41the previous meeting
00:08:42in this team
00:08:43against these two teams.
00:08:45A lot of offense early.
00:08:48Hornets won
00:08:49on a snowy day
00:08:50in Charlotte
00:08:50back in January.
00:08:52Hornets won
00:08:53the season series
00:08:54away from San Antonio
00:08:55a season ago.
00:08:57Tiavate
00:08:58walled off
00:08:59by Wimbaniama.
00:09:01One on the shot clock.
00:09:04Wimbaniama!
00:09:06Oh, what a distinct
00:09:07influence this man is.
00:09:09He can change the game
00:09:10on both ends.
00:09:12You see him hit a three,
00:09:13but right here,
00:09:14look at his footwork,
00:09:15timing.
00:09:15You think you can get up
00:09:16quickly over top.
00:09:17He on corals
00:09:18sends that one away
00:09:19and then used his body
00:09:21again to force
00:09:22the turnover.
00:09:26Wimbaniama,
00:09:27native of Paris,
00:09:28French.
00:09:28Moussa Diavate,
00:09:29native of Paris,
00:09:31France.
00:09:35Here's Fox.
00:09:37Wimbaniama!
00:09:38And he got popped
00:09:40in the face.
00:09:41He's so versatile.
00:09:44He's got to respect
00:09:45the three-point shot.
00:09:47Gets Diavate
00:09:48out of his stance.
00:09:50I tell you,
00:09:51Diavate leaves his feet
00:09:52and he knows
00:09:52he's beaten,
00:09:54so I think he just
00:09:54takes that foul
00:09:55to stop the play.
00:09:56Well, maybe he shouldn't
00:09:57have if you're a Hornets
00:09:58fan because that's now
00:09:59two fouls on Diavate.
00:10:01He'll sit a little bit
00:10:02more than three minutes
00:10:03into our game.
00:10:04He's replaced by a rookie,
00:10:05Ryan Coltbrenner.
00:10:08And Wimbaniama left alone.
00:10:11Hornets catch a break.
00:10:12Wimbaniama misses the three.
00:10:14Loose in the corner.
00:10:18Look at these teams battling.
00:10:19Here comes Bridges.
00:10:23Knepo, his first triple.
00:10:32Back and forth,
00:10:33Del Curry.
00:10:34Oh, five.
00:10:35Second three
00:10:36for Wimbaniama.
00:10:37This game has a playoff feel
00:10:39to it.
00:10:40Both teams know how important
00:10:41this game is
00:10:43and how well they both
00:10:44have been playing.
00:10:45We're seeing good basketball
00:10:46here early.
00:10:48Haven't had a chance
00:10:48to catch a break yet.
00:10:49Not even four minutes
00:10:50gets into this one.
00:10:53Coltbrenner.
00:10:55Shot clock's at four.
00:11:03Champagny.
00:11:10Hornets finishing off
00:11:11a four-game road trip.
00:11:13They've already won two
00:11:14of the first three.
00:11:16Hornets last playing.
00:11:18Back on Wednesday
00:11:19in Sacramento.
00:11:22Poked out of bounds.
00:11:23Last touch by San Antonio.
00:11:26Wimbaniama,
00:11:27look at that,
00:11:27just pitch it back to him.
00:11:28He takes his time,
00:11:29lines the seams up
00:11:30and bottoms a three.
00:11:35Wimbaniama will sit down.
00:11:36Job well done.
00:11:37He's got eight points
00:11:38in five minutes.
00:11:39He's replaced by
00:11:40the veteran Luke Cornett.
00:11:42San Antonio also brings in
00:11:44Kelden Johnson,
00:11:45the Mustang.
00:11:48Hornets stay as is.
00:11:51Champagny.
00:11:53Rebound at Brandon Miller
00:11:54and a foul on the floor.
00:11:56It's going to go
00:11:56against Charlotte.
00:11:59Oh, you see it.
00:12:00Really good defense
00:12:01by both teams.
00:12:02I know the offense
00:12:02has been there,
00:12:03but LaMelo that time
00:12:04got a piece of Champagny's
00:12:06three on the relocation
00:12:09with a rear contest.
00:12:12So Cornett
00:12:13just checked into the ballgame.
00:12:14He'll shoot free throws.
00:12:15He has made 12 in a row.
00:12:18Better not have Vanderbilt.
00:12:24Luke Cornett is a humble guy.
00:12:26Cornett doesn't like
00:12:27to toot his own horn.
00:12:28Oh, okay.
00:12:31Double major math
00:12:32and computer science
00:12:34at Vanderbilt.
00:12:35All right.
00:12:35Well, he can count to two.
00:12:37One, two free throws.
00:12:38He's already scored
00:12:38two more points
00:12:39than he scored last time out.
00:12:43Hornets
00:12:43made their first five shots.
00:12:45They've missed
00:12:46their last five shots.
00:12:52Brandon Miller.
00:12:58caught better first down on the floor.
00:13:03And Pinnipo can't get it off in time.
00:13:05That's a shot clock violation.
00:13:09And we have a chance to catch our breath.
00:13:12Maybe grab a cool drink of water.
00:13:15It is a five-point lead.
00:13:17It's to put him in actions right there.
00:13:19You put him in an action
00:13:20and Diabate goes around him.
00:13:22Again, he's in drop coverage right there.
00:13:24LaMelo has to read the play.
00:13:27Does he keep drawing
00:13:27Wimbenyama out
00:13:28or does he shoot the floater right there?
00:13:30Shoots it up and over the top
00:13:32of Wimbenyama.
00:13:33So you've got to be able
00:13:34to keep him in actions
00:13:36at the top of the floor
00:13:37and make him make a decision
00:13:38and then you counter off
00:13:39of those decisions.
00:13:40Those are our fly better moments
00:13:41presented by Emirates.
00:13:43San Antonio the lead
00:13:45in the ball up by five.
00:13:47Devin Vassell
00:13:48runs right in to Miles Bridges
00:13:50and they call the foul on Bridges.
00:13:57He took a hard hit right there.
00:14:06Miles Bridges, he's put together.
00:14:08Devin Vassell can contest to that.
00:14:11Well, big time advantage
00:14:12for San Antonio.
00:14:13They're now in the bonus
00:14:14with 6.45 remaining
00:14:17in our first quarter.
00:14:19Vassell now in season number six.
00:14:27Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson
00:14:30both in the game right now.
00:14:31Both part of that rebuilding
00:14:33that San Antonio had to undergo
00:14:35which eventually resulted
00:14:37in Stefan Kassel
00:14:38and Victor Wimbanyama.
00:14:40Dylan Harper.
00:14:42But the lead times here
00:14:43in San Antonio
00:14:44were witnessed by Vassell
00:14:45and Keldon Johnson.
00:14:46And we're not going to see
00:14:47Dylan Harper
00:14:48in a bit of a disappointment.
00:14:49He's dealing with a calf injury
00:14:51but he's had a whale
00:14:52of a rookie year.
00:14:55Bridges.
00:14:58Miller.
00:15:01Miller.
00:15:01Miller.
00:15:03Miller.
00:15:04Miller.
00:15:04Miller.
00:15:09Kassel got bumped.
00:15:11San Antonio has been
00:15:13the more aggressive team
00:15:14here in the first quarter.
00:15:15They've been playing downhill,
00:15:16getting into their sets
00:15:18very quickly.
00:15:19That time they cleared out
00:15:20the right side
00:15:21for Kassel to go one-on-one.
00:15:22He got the bump
00:15:23and heads to the free-throw line.
00:15:27Here's our live update
00:15:28presented by FanDuel.
00:15:31Point spread.
00:15:32San Antonio
00:15:33giving away
00:15:33eight and a half
00:15:34off to a really good start.
00:15:37You would think
00:15:38San Antonio
00:15:39with a huge advantage
00:15:39playing at home
00:15:40but
00:15:40the short at heart
00:15:42it's the best road team
00:15:43in the NBA
00:15:44over the last two months.
00:15:46They've actually won 12
00:15:47in the last 13
00:15:48away from Charlotte.
00:15:49Yeah,
00:15:49they've played with that
00:15:51us against the world
00:15:52attitude
00:15:53which you need
00:15:54on the road to the NBA
00:15:55with this guy
00:15:55at the free-throw line.
00:15:56How about his triple-double?
00:15:58Yeah,
00:15:58against the Nuggets
00:15:59last game.
00:15:59Wow.
00:16:01Now has three triple-doubles
00:16:03on the season.
00:16:04Last year's
00:16:05Rookie of the Year.
00:16:07We've got two rookies
00:16:08of the year
00:16:08going head-to-head.
00:16:10LaMelo Ball
00:16:10and Stephon Kassel.
00:16:17Shot clock's already
00:16:18down to seven
00:16:18for Charlotte.
00:16:20In a bit of trouble.
00:16:22Miller
00:16:26off to the races.
00:16:27The sell.
00:16:29That's a beautiful dribble.
00:16:30Lost the handle
00:16:31eventually.
00:16:32Calvin Johnson
00:16:32there to clean it up.
00:16:34The Spurs
00:16:35have gotten physical
00:16:36on the defensive
00:16:37end of the floor.
00:16:38It's caused
00:16:39the Hornets
00:16:39some problems
00:16:40and the Spurs
00:16:41taking advantage
00:16:42with run-outs
00:16:43because of their
00:16:43physical D.
00:16:44Look at the in-and-out
00:16:46dribble right there.
00:16:47LaMelo's like,
00:16:47where is he?
00:16:48He loses it.
00:16:49But when you're good,
00:16:50Paul finds.
00:16:52The Hornets,
00:16:54they want to honor
00:16:55you forever.
00:16:56Wasn't expecting
00:16:57that, man.
00:16:58Oh my gosh.
00:16:59Are you kidding me?
00:17:01This is great.
00:17:02It's a great honor.
00:17:03It's the best.
00:17:04Nothing tops this.
00:17:08Oh boy.
00:17:09Didn't expect that.
00:17:10No.
00:17:11Not a dry eye
00:17:12in the house.
00:17:12That's going to happen
00:17:13later this week.
00:17:14Del number 30
00:17:15immortalizing the Raptors.
00:17:16Going up.
00:17:17I can't wait.
00:17:17Everybody will be there.
00:17:18You'll be there.
00:17:19Yeah, I'm so excited.
00:17:21I'm humbled,
00:17:22blessed,
00:17:23grateful for everything
00:17:24the Hornets organization
00:17:26has done for me
00:17:26and my family
00:17:27along the way.
00:17:28I'm glad I'm still
00:17:29here for the ride.
00:17:30Well, you got number 23,
00:17:31which is legendary
00:17:32numbered basketball.
00:17:33Number 30 is quite up there
00:17:34as well.
00:17:35We're talking about
00:17:35global basketball.
00:17:3730 means something
00:17:38wherever you go
00:17:38in the world these days
00:17:39and you're a big reason
00:17:40why with what you did
00:17:41starting in 1988
00:17:42in Charlotte.
00:17:43Totally worthy
00:17:44Del Curry.
00:17:47San Antonio
00:17:48with the lead
00:17:49in the ball.
00:17:49Harrison Barnes,
00:17:50the Black Falcon
00:17:51comes into the game.
00:17:53Barnes has been
00:17:53as steady as a metronome
00:17:54over the years.
00:17:56Hornets get it back.
00:17:57Castle hasn't rejected.
00:17:58Grant Williams
00:17:59into the game
00:18:00for Charlotte
00:18:00along with Josh Green.
00:18:02Hornets have been
00:18:02scoreless for a long time.
00:18:04And the trend continues.
00:18:08It's been one and done
00:18:10for the Hornets as well.
00:18:12San Antonio
00:18:13has rebounded
00:18:14the basketball
00:18:14on their defensive
00:18:15end of the floor.
00:18:17Perfection in the score.
00:18:18Castle swings it over
00:18:20to Johnson.
00:18:22San Antonio
00:18:23is on a 14-0 run.
00:18:28Miller looking for room.
00:18:32It has been a month
00:18:34of Sunday's.
00:18:34Hornets have missed
00:18:3510 straight shots.
00:18:41Missell working up
00:18:42the screen from Cornette.
00:18:44That's good basketball.
00:18:45Exactly.
00:18:46Both teams ran the same
00:18:48type action
00:18:48on their respective
00:18:50offensive ends.
00:18:52Vassell able to bottom
00:18:53that mid-range.
00:18:54Grant Williams
00:18:55missed one a moment ago.
00:18:57Misses that one.
00:18:58The former Boston Celtic
00:19:00now playing for his
00:19:01hometown team.
00:19:05Vassell
00:19:06real quick one
00:19:07and it bounces
00:19:08over the backboard.
00:19:09And that will allow
00:19:10the Hornets
00:19:11to make some changes.
00:19:12San Antonio
00:19:13makes changes well
00:19:14and it's a big one.
00:19:167'4", Victor Wimbanyama
00:19:17comes back into the game.
00:19:19They're going to play
00:19:20two bigs together.
00:19:21It's going to be
00:19:22almost like
00:19:23David Robinson
00:19:24and Tim Duncan
00:19:25were still in town.
00:19:26You're going to have
00:19:26Cornette at 7'1",
00:19:27and Wimbanyama
00:19:28at 7'4".
00:19:30Speaking of
00:19:31David Robinson.
00:19:31There's the Admerl.
00:19:32Yeah.
00:19:33How many times
00:19:33did he block your shot?
00:19:34Oh, I've lost count.
00:19:38Hornets bring in
00:19:38Colby White.
00:19:40Concanepo
00:19:40comes back
00:19:41into the game.
00:19:43Only starter
00:19:43on the floor
00:19:44right now
00:19:44for Charlotte
00:19:45is the rookie
00:19:46Knippo.
00:19:48And he was
00:19:49wide open
00:19:50underneath the hoop.
00:19:51Colcbrenner
00:19:51couldn't find him.
00:19:54The left
00:19:55of San Antonio
00:19:56save two right there.
00:19:57Cornette
00:19:58did not
00:19:58give Colcbrenner
00:19:59a good view
00:20:00to find Knippo
00:20:00in the backdoor
00:20:01cut
00:20:02and it forced him
00:20:03to take a tough
00:20:03jump shot.
00:20:06Here's Fox
00:20:07and
00:20:07we got a bad screen.
00:20:11No,
00:20:11it's actually
00:20:12going to go
00:20:12against Charlotte
00:20:13it's Josh
00:20:13Green
00:20:14pushing down
00:20:15Harrison Barnes.
00:20:19And because
00:20:20of the bonus

00:26:05when they touched it
00:26:08Toby White
00:26:09tries to do
00:26:10the Knipple move
00:26:11right there
00:26:11when Banyama

00:26:32up high
00:26:35Hornets are not
00:26:36in the bonus
00:26:36so side out of bounds
00:26:38for Charlotte
00:26:40both teams
00:26:41are deep
00:26:42in their coach
00:26:43coaches trust
00:26:46their respective
00:26:47pinches
00:26:47Charles Lee

00:26:52get back in this game
00:26:53Kobe White
00:26:54really good
00:26:55in two for one
00:26:56situations
00:27:02San Antonio
00:27:03being asked
00:27:04by their head coach
00:27:05Mitch Johnson
00:27:05to hold for one
00:27:06last good shot
00:27:10Aaron Fox
00:27:10always a good option
00:27:12here at the end of quarters
00:27:18San Antonio
00:27:19is going to keep it
00:27:23did he step out of bounds
00:27:25yes
00:27:25that's what happened
00:27:26when you got those
00:27:27big feet
00:27:28how about
00:27:29the game plan
00:27:30there for the Hornets
00:27:31to come up
00:27:31and double that
00:27:32basketball
00:27:32get it out of
00:27:33Foxhands
00:27:33it makes the Spurs
00:27:34play a little faster
00:27:36Brian
00:27:37probably
00:27:38should have pulled
00:27:39that one back
00:27:39but look at
00:27:40left heel
00:27:41on the line
00:27:44so the Hornets
00:27:45going to manage
00:27:46this game
00:27:46like it's a playoff game
00:27:47they're going to bring in
00:27:47two good offensive weapons

00:28:01of our quarter
00:28:03Hornets close on
00:28:04an 11-3 run

00:28:56that is good coaching
00:28:57right there
00:28:58complaining

00:29:23Hornets going to have
00:29:24Tiamache Bridges
00:29:25White
00:29:26James
00:29:26and Knipple on the floor
00:29:28and Charlotte turns it over
00:29:30Wendem Yama can't handle
00:29:32the alley-o
00:29:32but he's there for the second chance
00:29:37second dump for Wendem Yama
00:29:3812 fast break points

00:29:55the only team
00:29:56he had ever known
00:29:57as a pro
00:29:59Hornets going to have
00:30:00to hit their outside shots
00:30:01when Wendem Yama
00:30:03is at the five spot he is just
00:30:04going to play drop coverage
00:30:05and force you
00:30:07to put your offense
00:30:08on the perimeter
00:30:09Cian James jumps on top
00:30:11of Wendem Yama
00:30:12and this is going to be
00:30:13the most mismatched
00:30:15jump ball of the year
00:30:16Fox got a hand on it right there
00:30:18look at the skill set
00:30:18of that young guy
00:30:19good hands
00:30:20couldn't quite
00:30:21get it up over there
00:30:23the first time

00:30:24regains it
00:30:25and throws it through
00:30:26look at this
00:30:29Siense just tickling
00:30:33stage with San Antonio

00:31:10off of Brian
00:31:11put them all on Fox
00:31:12as Fox was trying
00:31:13to search for a shot
00:31:14he's been playing very well
00:31:16especially when
00:31:16Wendem Yama's not in the
00:31:17lineup
00:31:18Fox really plays well
00:31:19so he's got to get back
00:31:20to fighting his game
00:31:21while Wendem Yama's on
00:31:22the floor
00:31:24and we're going to have
00:31:26a foul against
00:31:27Miles Bridges
00:31:28Wendem Yama wins the tip

00:31:35I've got to run out
00:31:36and guard him
00:31:37at the three-point line
00:31:38right there
00:31:39Knippel caught watching
00:31:40the basketball
00:31:41right back door
00:31:42easy chin up
00:31:44Brian's going to sit
00:31:45going to enjoy his moment
00:31:46he's replaced by
00:31:47Kelvin Johnson
00:31:50Fox
00:31:51getting downhill
00:31:52doing Fox
00:31:53things
00:31:54it's super aggressive
00:31:57resistant jump ball
00:32:02this is a 9-hole run
00:32:03for San Antonio
00:32:04they had an 18-0 run
00:32:06in the first quarter
00:32:08Kobe White
00:32:08gets a friendly roll
00:32:10Tommy's able to
00:32:11get around Champini
00:32:13and shoot that floater
00:32:14while Wendem Yama
00:32:14was out of the lane
00:32:17Fox

00:38:23Дима Торзок
00:38:25He's been doing it all season long.
00:38:28San Antonio has dominated this first half, but they're only up by 12.
00:38:34Castle.
00:38:35What was that?
00:38:37Super quick off the window and in.
00:38:41Stephon Castle, how do you do?
00:38:47We've got some really good young players.
00:38:50The league is in a healthy spot.
00:38:52Oh my goodness.
00:38:53Spin off, double clutch, take the hit across the head, bank it in off the window.
00:38:59My goodness.
00:39:01Stephon Castle, last year, rookie of the year after being the fourth overall selection.
00:39:06This year's fourth overall selection, Conn Canippo, could it be back to back?
00:39:10Four overall, winning the whole ball of waxes rookies.
00:39:13The league is in a healthy spot with so many young, talented, mature guys in the association.
00:39:22That last foul on the middle of the ball is his third, and he may sit for the remainder of
00:39:27our first half.
00:39:30When it's trying to weather the storm, they bring in Kobe White to run the point.
00:39:34Look at the ball pressure.
00:39:35By Castle.
00:39:37Castle's a gamer.
00:39:40And foul.
00:39:42Going to be called on Castle.
00:39:47Held Brandon Miller at the top of the floor, using that physicality off the ball to not allow the Hornets'
00:39:54offensive players to get free runs and free movement.
00:39:58But Hornets' still have not shot a free throw.
00:40:01Wow.
00:40:0312 free throws attempted by San Antonio.
00:40:11Bridges sizes up Johnson.
00:40:14Shot clock's at three.
00:40:16That's a pretty good look for a shot clock winding down.
00:40:19Absolutely.
00:40:20And a good job by Miles Bridges to keep his defender occupied while the work was being done.
00:40:24On the weak side, Kalkbrenner screams for Brandon Miller.
00:40:28Hornets' last three field goals have all been tripled.
00:40:31Poked away.
00:40:32Bridges.
00:40:33He can fly.
00:40:34Hey!
00:40:35Hey!
00:40:35Score the goal!
00:40:38And it's a ten-point game.
00:40:40You just got to dig in, chip away at this lead if you're the Hornets, and do it defensively.
00:40:46Good job by Bridges right there.
00:40:47Good back-to-back plays by Bridges to get a ball.
00:40:50Handle the ball in the passing lane and a tough finish.
00:40:53Glenn Benyama at the scores table.
00:40:55Touched from behind by Kalkbrenner.
00:40:58Shot clock.
00:40:59Resets to 14.
00:41:04Vassell from the free throw line.
00:41:08Hornets can make this a single-digit game.
00:41:13Kalkbrenner!
00:41:14He is fouled.
00:41:16And the Hornets will have their first free throws of the game.
00:41:21Totally different game when you get stops and able to get out.
00:41:24Look at Bridges right there.
00:41:25Look at he occupied Johnson right there, so he can't get a dig over on that pass.
00:41:30Good rhythm right there.
00:41:31And then on the other end, Miles Bridges in the passing lane.
00:41:34Clean air.
00:41:35Here comes Johnson.
00:41:36Powers right through that.
00:41:37Good finisher.
00:41:38In the lane with a right hand, even though he plays left-handed.
00:41:42Ryan Kalkbrenner at the free throw line.
00:41:4424-year-old rookie.
00:41:46He leads all rookies in blocks and dunks.
00:41:49Wimbanyama comes back in along with Julian Chepenny.
00:41:52How about this?
00:41:53If Ryan Kalkbrenner can finish the year leading all rookies in blocks and dunks, he will join active players.
00:41:59Victor Wimbanyama, Anthony Davis, Evan Mobley.
00:42:03Oh, and Brook Lopez is the only guys to do that.
00:42:06Rookies leading rookies in blocks and dunks.
00:42:12First bit of adversity for San Antonio.
00:42:17Hornets have gone on a 12-2 run.
00:42:20Wimbanyama.
00:42:27Wimbanyama.
00:42:28White slips down.
00:42:32Bridges.
00:42:35Fades.
00:42:35Oh, it hits.
00:42:37Oh, shot.
00:42:38Saw Knippel do the same move for the same spot.
00:42:41He did it right here to Miles Bridges.
00:42:42Let me show you how to do it left side.
00:42:46Wimbanyama, the Frenchman from the right bank.
00:42:49You have a little bit of adversity.
00:42:51How do you solve that?
00:42:53Put Wimbanyama back in the game.
00:42:55Dale, Wimbanyama already has more points in our first half than he had the entire game in Charlotte two months
00:43:01ago.
00:43:03On less field goal tips.
00:43:09Shot clock to three.
00:43:13Coughbretter with the touch.
00:43:17Miles Bridges saw Wimbanyama come over and laid to that left.
00:43:20Coughbretter all alone and tipped that one back in.
00:43:23Fox goes one-on-one.
00:43:26Got his own miss.
00:43:28Champagny finds the line.
00:43:42Final three minutes here in our first half.
00:43:49Bridges.
00:43:51Wide right.
00:43:53Wimbanyama another rebound.
00:44:00Wimbanyama did not play a couple of days ago.
00:44:03Sat out the loss against Denver here in this building.
00:44:06He's been super influential this afternoon.
00:44:09Good D by Kalkbrenner right there.
00:44:11Makes him take a tough shot at a bad angle.
00:44:18Knipple waiting at the scores table.
00:44:20He'll come in next stoppage.
00:44:26White got it over Wimbanyama that time.
00:44:29Hornets have to be ecstatic where they're at right now having only shot two free throws in the game.
00:44:35Game of runs and the Hornets continue the battle here in the second quarter.
00:44:39Now we've got a game.
00:44:41Five-point game.
00:44:45Harrison Barnes.
00:44:46Come on!
00:44:49Bridges surrounded by Spurs.
00:44:51White.
00:44:57Numbers advantage for San Antonio.
00:45:00And Champagny is denied by White.
00:45:05Kalkbren White is gassed.
00:45:09After he took that long jump shot, didn't hang his head, hustled back and saved two points.
00:45:17Kalkbren White right here attacked the big guy.
00:45:19Wimbanyama almost gets a piece of it, but that little gravity fadeaway was able to get that over the hand
00:45:27of Wimbanyama.
00:45:29Wimbanyama now going to work against Grant Williams.
00:45:31Huge size advantage.
00:45:35Kalkbren White is critical.

00:49:23The San Antonio Spurs, they've got themselves a 13-point stiff arm on the pesky visitors from Charlotte.
00:49:3059-46 is our count.
00:49:32You're watching the NBA on Prime, presented by Mercedes-Benz.
00:49:43Halftime in San Antonio.
00:49:45The Spurs lead the Hornets 59-46.
00:49:48Welcome on in on this Saturday.
00:49:50I'm Taylor Rooks with John Wall, Steve Nash, and Blake Griffin.
00:49:54The Hornets got to single digits late in the second quarter, but then Wimby happens, and now it's a 13
00:49:58-point lead for the Spurs.
00:50:00But I watched that game and just see so much incredible young talent in this league, John.
00:50:06Yeah, it's so much.
00:50:07You got both sides.
00:50:08You got LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Con Caniple.
00:50:10Go on the side.
00:50:11Other side, you have Wimby and Castle.
00:50:13The league is in great hands with those guys.
00:50:15Those guys are true professionals.
00:50:16They're enjoying the game.
00:50:18They bring excitement, and all of us as fans, we're enjoying it.
00:50:21Like, they're super exciting to see, and they're electrifying.
00:50:23Yeah, let's stay there with Wimby.
00:50:25It's time for a Data Deep Dive, presented by AT&T.
00:50:29Wimby has a game-high 18 points.
00:50:31He has shot seven for 14 from the floor.
00:50:34He is three for six from three-point range, Steve.
00:50:37Yeah, I mean, the guys, like, the impact he has on a night-to-night basis is crazy.
00:50:42Some nights it's defense.
00:50:44Some nights you can see he's a deterrent.
00:50:46He's blocking shots.
00:50:47He's in passing lanes.
00:50:48He's switchable.
00:50:49And other nights he's scoring.
00:50:50He's leading the break.
00:50:51All these things he does.
00:50:52He's just, like we continue to say, how do we go and say something new about Wimby?
00:50:57But he's already done stuff at such a young age.
00:50:59But, you know, important that we remember this is in the context of their team,
00:51:02and they're already ahead of schedule playing for a championship,
00:51:06and him still having that maturity to take on that responsibility
00:51:09and play good, winning basketball.
00:51:11That's just as impressive as some of the things he's able to do in the numbers show.
00:51:16Yeah, I mean, so many just freak plays in that first half that we can take a look at.
00:51:22This is insane, Blake.
00:51:24Yeah, I mean, listen, the block shots we all talk about,
00:51:29multiple blocks in one possession.
00:51:30To me, it's like some of these intangible plays that you don't really see.
00:51:35They aren't really highlights.
00:51:36It's the moments where guards get in the paint, and they realize he's there,
00:51:39or that he's close, or he might not even actually be close.
00:51:44Kobe.
00:51:45Kobe's laughing.
00:51:46It's those moments that, like, that's why we rave so much about him, you know,
00:51:52and as much as he takes care of his body and how much he cares about this game
00:51:56and his points, his impact goes so far beyond the stat sheet
00:52:00because there's just certain plays that guys don't want to make
00:52:04because of how good he is or, you know, how many shots he can affect.
00:52:09Like this right here.
00:52:10Diabate, that's usually a floater for Diabate.
00:52:13Not today.
00:52:14Same thing here.
00:52:15Doesn't even look at the basket.
00:52:17Has a driving lane.
00:52:18Okay, that's not too bad.
00:52:19It goes right back out.
00:52:20I mean, Wimby just does such a good job of roaming, but what I like,
00:52:24what I think he's gotten better at this season,
00:52:26is he's really good at recovering from an almost blocked shot
00:52:31to then going and getting the rebound or getting his hands on loose balls.
00:52:35So those are just a few of the examples that he brings to a team
00:52:40when he just is able to impact areas where he's not actually doing anything stat-wise.
00:52:45Yeah, including today, Wimby has 65 blocks.
00:52:48That is more than the Bucs, Nuggets, and Warriors have as teams.
00:52:52So he is incredible.
00:52:53Let's talk about Charlotte a bit, though.
00:52:55They did dig in in those final five minutes.
00:52:57How did they close the half there, Steve?
00:52:59Well, in a number of ways.
00:53:00You know, this is a game where they have made three more threes,
00:53:02but they're down by 10 in free throws.
00:53:04They're down in second chance points.
00:53:06They're down in fast break points.
00:53:07So for them, I think, to only be down 13 in the half is a win.
00:53:11And in today's game where discrepancies of three-point shooting
00:53:14can get you right back in a game,
00:53:16this, for me, was a mature performance.
00:53:17They could have folded.
00:53:18They could have got out of character.
00:53:20They could have sped up.
00:53:21They continue to chip away, whether it's points off turnovers,
00:53:24whether it's an offensive rebound and a second chance.
00:53:26They've found ways to stay in this game, not let go of the rope.
00:53:29And that's so important for a young team developing with playoff aspirations.
00:53:34So that's a good sign for me.
00:53:35Whether they win or not, that was really important for them to stay in the game.
00:53:38Yeah, and just obviously want to see Khan getting going from three,
00:53:41just the eighth time that he hasn't made a three by halftime.
00:53:44I expect that to change, though.
00:53:45All right, we're at the break in San Antonio.
00:53:47The Spurs have won 16 of their last 18 games.
00:53:49They lead the Hornets 59-46.
00:53:52The second half is just ahead.
00:53:54We will be back right after this.
00:54:00Presented by AT&T.
00:54:04This was last night on NBA Nightcap.
00:54:07Look at BG putting on his tiny green jacket.
00:54:09Won a putting contest.
00:54:11Congrats, BG.
00:54:12Thank you.
00:54:13Thank you.
00:54:14It felt good to put on a green jacket.
00:54:15It's as close as I'll get to Augusta.
00:54:17How good did that fit ball?
00:54:19Oh, yeah.
00:54:19I actually didn't feel good at all.
00:54:21He beat D-Wade, and you never know what it's going to happen at Stage 11.
00:54:24So make sure you join us for NBA Nightcap after the game today.
00:54:28All right.
00:54:28In San Antonio, the Spurs face the Hornets for the second and final time this season.
00:54:33Wimby with a game-high 18 points.
00:54:35The Spurs are up 13.
00:54:36And the second half is next.
00:54:39The Half is presented by AT&T.
00:54:42Connecting changes everything.
00:55:11Welcome back to the NBA on Prime.
00:55:13presented by Mercedes-Benz.
00:55:15So far, so good for the home team here in San Antonio.
00:55:18The Spurs, they lead the upstart Charlotte Hornets 59-46
00:55:23as we get ready to start our third quarter.
00:55:26With my partner, Del Curry, I have Eric Collins.
00:55:28This is the Hornets team that came in really hot,
00:55:30but they are looking mortal because of the defense by San Antonio.
00:55:33San Antonio really ratcheted up their defense halfway through that first quarter.
00:55:37They got real physical with the Hornets.
00:55:39Look at this left side right here.
00:55:41Watch Fox.
00:55:41Fox stays connected and then uses his left-hand, his left-handed player.
00:55:45You get a swipe, get a steal, and you're off to the races.
00:55:48You got Wimby Nama to finish, clean up his own miss, throws that one through.
00:55:52Look at Fox again.
00:55:53He steps up, takes the space away.
00:55:55So Diabate can't get a good screen.
00:55:57And then Wimby Nama says, I got the rest all by myself.
00:56:02Not one block, but two blocks on that play, forced to turnovers.
00:56:06The Spurs have six steals in this first half.
00:56:09They average seven per game.
00:56:11So that's how physical they've been in that first half,
00:56:14and it caused the Hornets all kinds of problems.
00:56:15That was brilliant.
00:56:17That was our winning edge presented by Mercedes-Benz.
00:56:19For more, let's hear from Julian Champagny, standing by with JD.
00:56:24Julian, this was built to us as two of the most entertaining teams in the NBA going head-to-head.
00:56:27That first 24 minutes did not disappoint, but you told me about the maintenance now,
00:56:31making sure that you carry the positives through to the second half.
00:56:33Yeah, I think from now, from here to the end of the game,
00:56:35we've got to continue to play physical, rebound, play defense, and play with each other.
00:56:39When you talk about adjustments, adjustments is always a conversation in that locker room.
00:56:42So what are the changes?
00:56:43What do you want to make sure that you do to make sure that you get the victory tonight?
00:56:46Yeah, I think now we've got to continue to pick up the ball early,
00:56:49play physical, and really those two main things to keep the lead.
00:56:53Keep the lead, physicality, everything else in between.
00:56:55Enjoy, by the way.
00:56:57Back to you, EC and Dell.
00:56:58JD, fantastic stuff.
00:57:00Charlotte starts with the basketball.
00:57:01Same five that began the game.
00:57:03Begin the third quarter.
00:57:04Hornick leading scorer, LaMelo ball with 11, but he's been limited with foul trouble.
00:57:08Here's ball.
00:57:09Put it on top of Wimbanyama.
00:57:11Last dribble got Wimbanyama to lower the hands,
00:57:15and then LaMelo ball quickly up over the top of the 7-foot-4 play.
00:57:19Castle, Champagny, Wimbanyama, Fox, and Vassell.
00:57:23Five on the floor for San Antonio.
00:57:25Ball got a piece of that ball.
00:57:27It will stay with San Antonio.
00:57:29Look at LaMelo right here.
00:57:30Turns the corner.
00:57:31Wimbanyama says, I'm going to switch.
00:57:33But that little dribble between the legs, and then the gravity fades away up over the top.
00:57:39Ball only played 10 minutes in our first half.
00:57:45Caniple going just to waste with Wimbanyama, and Wimbanyama hits a turnaround in his eye.
00:57:53A turnaround from 20 feet.
00:57:55Are you kidding me?
00:57:56And Bucs, he's not even 7'4".
00:57:58He's only 7'8".
00:57:59Unguardable.
00:58:02And a foul going to be called on Champagny.
00:58:07I mean, what do you want Caniple to do right here?
00:58:09He keeps him in front.
00:58:11There's Diabate right there.
00:58:13They get the dig.
00:58:14Try to break up his rhythm.
00:58:15Look at him spin right there.
00:58:17Knows he's going over the left shoulder.
00:58:20Footwork lines the basket up, and nothing but net.
00:58:22How much has Caniple's life changed in two years?
00:58:25Two years ago, he was playing, this time he's playing against 15-year-olds in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as high school
00:58:30seniors.
00:58:31Now he's playing against Victor Wimbanyama here in San Antonio.
00:58:34Roan in every night.
00:58:39Champagny, tipped into the waiting arms of Caniple.
00:58:44Caniple, the trailer, hadn't hit one yet, but that's a thing of the past.
00:58:48Both teams' stars stepping up here.
00:58:51LaMelo got a piece of that ball, forced a turnover, and it gets Caniple to see one go through from
00:58:55behind the line.
00:58:57Aaron Fox, quicker than a hiccup, gets it right back.
00:59:02Fox, the only other spurred double figures with 12 now.
00:59:07Regis didn't like his odds.
00:59:10Now he'll try Champagny.
00:59:14Wimbanyama is lurking, causes the turnover.
00:59:18Deflected.
00:59:20Vassell, Wimbanyama, Fox.
00:59:25Castle.
00:59:29Hornets do have life.
00:59:31This is a team that is very good on the road, actually better on the road than at home.
00:59:37One more road win, and the Hornets will have a winning road record for just the sixth time in franchise
00:59:43history.
00:59:44Franchise started back in 1988.
00:59:47Wimbanyama!
01:00:00Wimbanyama!
01:00:01Wimbanyama!
