00:28Три троуза. Кобайас
00:40Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
01:07Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
01:30Good question.
01:32Maybe so.
01:39Eric Galen.
01:46And Mark Davis.
01:47Upon review it was determined
01:49that the defender established a
01:50legal guarding position prior to
01:51the upper shooting motion by the
01:53offensive player.
01:54Therefore this offensive foul will
01:56remain.
01:57This is an unsuccessful challenge.
01:59Detroit will recharge their timeout
02:00as well as they have no additional
02:02challenges.
02:06Well worth a challenge but it backfired.
02:08Yeah.
02:09No more challenges in this one for the
02:11Pistons.
02:20If looks could kill
02:23JP Vickers to have
02:25look at
02:27Daylon.
02:28So Georgia
02:29at least sent him to the hospital.
02:31So if one of two bad things
02:33occur then both bad things
02:36occur.
02:38Yeah.
02:39Cade
02:40gets the foul
02:42unsuccessful challenge
02:43and the Pistons lost that basket.
02:48Near swiping it is a swipe.
02:50Cade behind the back to
02:52Asar for a soft
02:53slam.
02:54I like that pass.
02:55I loved it.
03:04Sarge in the scorebook.
03:0620 seconds to play in the half.
03:0863-57 Pistons.
03:11Barrett with a drive.
03:13Bulldozes in
03:14to Duncan Robinson.
03:17If they get a foul called
03:19on Duncan.
03:22Cade got rid of that thing
03:23fast.
03:24And for a while
03:26Asar Thompson
03:26the only one on that
03:28side of the
03:28of the court.
03:29Hurdle no chance
03:30to catch up.
03:35Three fouls on
03:36Duncan Robinson.
03:39Asar a moment ago
03:40got paid back
03:41for the steal
03:42as he hit the hoop.
03:45on the dish
03:47from Cade.
04:02Barrett at the line.
04:04Buries them both.
04:0663-59.
04:08Cade
04:09hit pretty good
04:10in the backcourt
04:10by Barnes.
04:11They'll have to call it
04:12and they do.
04:14Now if you're
04:15Toronto
04:16and you got a foul
04:17to give
04:18maybe you do that.
04:20You know
04:20try to apply
04:21some full court pressure
04:22and make them
04:23eat up a lot of
04:24the 13 seconds
04:25that were left
04:25on the clock.
04:26But when you don't
04:26have that foul to give
04:28you don't want to
04:28make contact like that
04:29George.
04:3060 feet away
04:31from the basket.
04:32What a very good
04:33free throw shooter
04:33at the line too.
04:35With 10 seconds
04:36to play in the half.
04:37Boom.
04:37That jinxed him
04:38the first is off
04:39the heel.
04:40It doesn't change
04:40the fact.
04:42He's a good
04:43free throw shooter.
04:4763-59.
04:50Even Rick Barry
04:51didn't make them all.
04:52No.
04:53Neither did Larry Bird
04:54and neither did
04:55Steph Curry.
04:57Look at all the good
04:57free throw shooters.
04:59Bill Sharman.
05:03Cade gets a split
05:04at the stripe.
05:06Pistons lead
05:0664-59.
05:08Final 10 seconds
05:09first half in Toronto.
05:11Brandon Ingram
05:13the fourth court.
05:15Two seconds one.
05:16Ingram rises.
05:17Go slapped away
05:18legally
05:19by Asar
05:20as time runs out.
05:23Another of those
05:24amazing things
05:25Asar Thompson
05:27gives you
05:27when he's able
05:29to play.
05:29Yeah.
05:30You know
05:31I know you would
05:32love a larger lead
05:33for the Pistons
05:34than five points
05:34but this was a
05:35hard fought
05:36and at times
05:37struggle of a
05:37first half.
05:38So you take that
05:39four five point lead
05:40George.
05:40I'm trying to build
05:41from there.
05:42Raptors were some
05:43quality players
05:44and they played
05:45hard and well
05:46but the Pistons
05:47lead them at the
05:47break 64-59.
05:50Karis Levert
05:51helped the Pistons
05:52big time off the
05:53bench.
05:53He's standing by
05:54with Smooth Johnny.
05:56Well thanks George.
05:57You guys are in a
05:57real battle here
05:58tonight.
05:5918 second
05:59chance points for
06:00them.
06:00How big of a concern
06:01is that for you?
06:02Yeah you said it.
06:03Offensive rebounds
06:04second chance points
06:05loose balls.
06:06We got to clean that
06:07up second half.
06:08Offensively I know you
06:09guys want to get out
06:10and run.
06:11Is that easier said
06:12than done against this
06:13team?
06:13Yeah I feel like right
06:14now we're going back and
06:15forth.
06:15We're not you know
06:16getting stops on the
06:17defensive end of the
06:18ball so we got to
06:19clean that up.
06:19We'll be fine second
06:20half.
06:20I appreciate it.
06:22Thank you.
06:22All right Karis LeVert
06:23good first half.
06:24We'll be talking
06:25Vert and the rest of the
06:26Bullies.
06:26Pistons lead it here.
06:27Buick GMC halftime report
06:29coming your way next.
06:32The Pistons 64 and the
06:35Raptors 59 here at
06:37Scotiabank Arena.
06:39Used to be the Air Canada
06:41Center.
06:42It's always been hopping
06:43that's for sure.
06:44and in the first half
06:47the Pistons got their
06:49all-stars going.
06:50Jalen Duren and Cade
06:52Cunningham.
06:52I thought Cade in the
06:54first half did what
06:55superstars and MVPs do.
06:57He finishes with 16
06:58points and six assists
07:00just played.
07:03Nothing spectacular.
07:05Got it done.
07:06I mean Cade can score
07:08a loud 30 points or he
07:10can score a quiet 30
07:12points.
07:12The fact of the matter
07:13is he scores he does
07:15whatever is necessary.
07:16There was no rush no
07:17panic no hurry to his
07:19game.
07:19They couldn't speed him
07:20up.
07:20He went at his own pace
07:22and ultimately helped
07:24the Pistons win that
07:25second quarter and that's
07:26the difference in this
07:27game.
07:28I mentioned before the
07:29half George happy to
07:31have the five-point lead
07:32would love to have
07:32doubled it but Toronto
07:33give them credit.
07:34They are fighting and
07:35playing and they've got a
07:36lot to play for.
07:39Reportedly they have an
07:41excellent rapport with
07:42the coach.
07:44Darco Ryakovich and clearly
07:48they've got players.
07:50Yeah.
07:51And they always have a buzz
07:54in the building.
07:54This is a loud crowd.
07:58Toronto's a jumping city.
08:01A lot of things they could be
08:03doing and they're here to
08:04cheer on the Raptors.
08:07Toronto's basketball to
08:09start the second half
08:10working in front of the
08:10Pistons bench is Scottie
08:12Barnes.
08:12The turn and gun is
08:13perfect from the baseline.
08:17So it's 64 to 61.
08:22Gade with the basketball out
08:24high against Barnes.
08:27A grab called by Eric Lewis
08:35on quickly.
08:38So we have a team foul already.
08:41Well he's trying to be
08:41physical with Duncan Roberts
08:43and they realize how important
08:44Duncan is to this team and how
08:45well he's been playing.
08:46So they're trying to keep him
08:47without the basketball.
08:50Tobias from the baseline
08:51turns, fires and fills it.
08:54And it's 66-61 Pistons by 5.
09:00Quickly to forecourt.
09:04They drop it inside to Barrett.
09:06Topside and quickly shot it
09:08short off the floor to Pirtle.
09:11Quickly nice bounce inside of
09:13the big man.
09:14He gave it back to him.
09:15Pirtle got an easy hoop.
09:17You know what that's going to
09:17go down as?
09:19Another second chance bucket
09:20for them.
09:21Offensive rebound.
09:22It was a long one but they
09:23got to it.
09:2420 second chance points to
09:25seven for the Pistons.
09:27Duncan Robinson through the
09:29lane.
09:30Now Asar Thompson hands to
09:32Cade.
09:32Bounce back to Asar.
09:34To the basket.
09:36Scotty Barnes challenged the
09:38shot.
09:39Made a miss.
09:44Rising and firing is Ingram.
09:48And the man can score.
09:50Yeah he gets up.
09:51He puts it behind his head.
09:54And you're not going to get to it.
09:56You're not going to block it.
09:57That's for sure.
09:58And no chance whatsoever.
10:0266-65 Pistons.
10:04Duncan Robinson.
10:05A great lob to J.D.
10:07He gets up too.
10:08Got him.
10:09A jam.
10:11Pistons with a 68-65 lead.
10:14Imagine where the Pistons would be in this game if they were just 50% better on the defensive
10:21glass.
10:22Oh my gosh.
10:24Dottie Barnes.
10:25To Pirtle.
10:27Pirtle with a floater.
10:29No.
10:30Follow up.
10:31Yes.
10:32Yes.
10:38Pirtle's a 7-footer.
10:40And he uses it.
10:47Look at this.
10:48J.D.'s going to set that screen at the three-point line.
10:50And that was Duncan Robinson on the high lob feet.
10:53Not Cade Cunningham.
10:54A guy who's only attempted one shot in the game is the guy who got that assist.
11:00Goal's hand on the Raptors.
11:03Quickly.
11:05Took a walk.
11:06And you saw Cade closing in.
11:11The unselfishness.
11:12And I always say, you know, the guy who sets the tone for all of this is Cade Cunningham.
11:17If he's moving the ball and passing it, then they're all moving it and passing it.
11:23He's taking care of it.
11:24They're all taking care of it.
11:25Duncan Robinson with a long gun.
11:27No.
11:30Rebound to Scottie Barnes.
11:34Uptake inside for Barrett.
11:36Threw it away.
11:37Cade snatches the pass out of the air.
11:40Cade in the forecourt.
11:42Gives it up to Duncan Robinson.
11:43Now Asar Thompson has it.
11:46Cade slashes.
11:48Dishes inside to Asar.
11:50Outside for Tobias.
11:51The puck's still running.
11:52It's down to 8 only.
11:55This is finally going to shot, but it doesn't drop.
11:57That would have been a pretty way to finish that play.
11:59All that passing.
12:01Suddenly Pirtle making things happen.
12:05Gets to the basket for a dunk on the other end.
12:08And J.D.'s call for the foul.
12:10They both went down.
12:14Well, we said to Toronto, they will run on you.
12:18And even Pirtle, tallest guy on the floor, out there racing on the wing.
12:24He's had a nice game.
12:25And Dwayne Casey's watching, Coach, I remember when you had him as a rookie.
12:29You got him going.
12:31You got his confidence.
12:33Heading in the right direction.
12:34He went to San Antonio.
12:35Had some good time down there getting coached up.
12:38But that's a good player right there.
12:39Right now, his numbers show 14 points and 11 rebounds.
12:45And he has tied the score at 70.
12:48Eight and a half to play in the third.
12:53Tobias flips it to Cade.
12:56Cade stops and fires and fills it up.
13:02Cade with 20.
13:04That was impressive.
13:05This was by two.
13:06That was impressive.
13:06That bucket he just made.
13:08Step back, one-legged fade.
13:12Not everybody can do that.
13:15Barrett with a nice drive off the glass and good.
13:18And we're tied at 72.
13:20The Raptors aren't going anywhere.
13:23Cade to the lane.
13:25In front to J.D.
13:27Shot is late.
13:28There was a foul first.
13:45It's 22-23.
13:47That is sixth among players.
13:48Six-six or shorter.
13:50He gets his buckets inside.
13:54Impressive.
13:55Berto with a foul.
13:57Toronto with a steal.
13:58Carrot to the basket over Cade for a score.
14:02And the Raptors lead by two.
14:06This has been taking care of the basketball.
14:08Slipped on that one.
14:10Cade on the way.
14:12To the baseline.
14:14Shoots the pass inside for Asar.
14:16Hooks off the high glass.
14:18No.
14:20Out of bounds to Toronto.
14:22George, I think we have a dogfight on our hands.
14:24And by that, I mean this could go all the way down.
14:30Raptors are playing well.
14:31So the Pistons.
14:33Off the miss.
14:34Pirtle with a tap-in.
14:3811-4 Toronto run.
14:40And J.B. Bickerstaff will take a timeout.
14:44Yaka Pirtle now with 16 points.
14:48Toronto now up four.
14:49You know, they've come out and blitzed the start of this third quarter here, guys.
14:52So let's look at our live odds brought to you by FanDuel.
14:55Currently leading the quarter by nine.
14:5717-8.
14:58Which has caused the combined odds to be north of 1,000.
15:02So plus 112, guys.
15:03$10 to win $111 and change.
15:07Again, third quarter winner and third quarter over-under total.
15:11Of course, odds are always subject to change.
15:13And I'm sure J.B. Bickerstaff hoping the energy changes here out of this timeout, George.
15:17Good stuff, Johnny.
15:19Pistons being out rebounded on the offensive glass.
15:2213-4 in this one.
15:24That probably has to change.
15:25Asar with a drive.
15:26Lays it up.
15:27No.
15:28Rebound comes away to the Raptors.
15:30They'll rush it up.
15:31And England lays it in.
15:34Board work by Scottie Barnes.
15:37Started the break.
15:39Well, up until now, the Raptors have just been dominant.
15:42Moving the ball up the floor.
15:44I mean, that was...
15:44They got the ball up the floor in four seconds that time and scored off the missed field goal attempt.
15:50If you're the Pistons, I think you have to ask yourselves, what's keeping them in the game?
15:54How are they staying ahead?
15:56And it's offensive rebounding and second-chance points.
16:00And it's fast-break points all of a sudden.
16:05Cade will inbound.
16:10Because Tobias had to catch that in a crowd.
16:17Tobias works the dribble.
16:21That's on Barrett.
16:23Turns, fires off the rim.
16:26Out of bounds.
16:27Off the Pistons.
16:31This crowd big time into it right now.
16:34So the Pistons have that too.
16:37Yeah.
16:37To deal with.
16:39Jam-packed building.
16:45Brandon Ingram.
16:51Barnes to the lane.
16:53Barnes for the miss.
16:54But kept it in.
16:56Dottie Barnes is coming alive.
17:00I'm telling you, every Pistons has to make it his own responsibility to get the board.
17:05Forget running.
17:06That's a big bucket by Cade Cunningham.
17:08Cade gets the four-court.
17:10Combley knocks down a triple.
17:12And that makes it a five-point Toronto lead.
17:15A big help for the visitors here in Toronto.
17:23Brandon Ingram.
17:256-8.
17:27Gets to the paint.
17:29Guns on the run.
17:30Doesn't get it.
17:31But what he does get is a foul call on Duncan Robinson.
17:40That's four.
17:45Pistons lead the Eastern Conference.
17:47Sit firmly among the NBA's top teams.

18:05This is Detroit basketball all the time.
18:08All right, watch out, man.
18:10JB Bickerstaff and Duncan Robinson giving Eric Lewis the what-for throughout that whole sequence.
18:18I mean, he was getting it in both ears, George.
18:21Now he knows they don't like the call.
18:2582-75 Toronto with the free throws.
18:29Look at all the attention on Cade.
18:31Look at that.
18:32Cade.
18:32That's a bunch of guys.
18:34After work hard to find a shot, this was wide.
18:36Comes back to him.
18:37Good try again.
18:38Off the iron.
18:42Jamal Shedd has a rebound come to him.
18:47Cade trying to steal the ball from Ingram, and Ingram fouled him.
18:59There's a guy who's putting the team on his back if he can right now, Cade Cunningham.
19:04Trying.
19:06On both ends of the court.
19:11Cade sees a little daylight, rises and fires and won't fall.
19:16Rebound Tobias.
19:19Gives it up, gets it back in the paint, gets it back in the paint, to the basket for a
19:22score.
19:23I like that.
19:24You know, you don't have to panic.
19:24Good entry pass by Kevin Herter.
19:26Yeah, no need to panic and take shots that you wouldn't ordinarily.
19:30Your biggest issue is on this end of the floor.
19:32Your offense will be fine.
19:3482-77 Toronto.
19:38From the sideline, washing and connecting is Barrett.
19:42And that's a three.
19:45His first make of the game.
19:461885-77.
19:50Cade to the basket.
19:50Off the high glass.
19:51No.
19:53Long rebound to Barrett.
19:57Ingram has it in the paint.
19:59Backs it out against Tobias.
20:02Put it down against the double team.
20:04Nearly lost it.
20:05Clock at 10.
20:06Quickly floats it up.
20:07It won't fall.
20:10Daylander had the rebound.
20:11He was pushed out of bounds.
20:12For seven, Paul Reed, number five.
20:16And State Pistons basketball.
20:18Paul Reed and Ron Holland are both coming into the game.
20:21Two guys that can rebound.
20:22They're going to need their energy on the defensive blast
20:26for the time that they're in the game right now.
20:28Are they ever?
20:30I thought for a moment JB might think about having Paul Reed
20:34and Jalen Dern on the floor at the same time
20:37for the rebounding purpose.
20:38But it's just Paul Reed right now.
20:40Herder for three and out of bounds.
20:47Off the Pistons they say.
20:50It's like it might have been out of bounds
20:51off Mamo Felix Vili.
20:56Brandon Ingram up high against Karis LeVert.
21:01Looks down against Herder.
21:05Ingram to the basket.
21:07Runs in to Paul Reed and misses.
21:10And Paul's got the rebound.
21:11Great job by Paul Reed on defense.
21:15Gade to forecourt.
21:17Right corner Karis LeVert.
21:19On the wing to Herder.
21:21Here's a long gun.
21:22It won't go.
21:24Rebound comes off.
21:26To Ingram.
21:31They say Paul Reed commits the loose ball foul.
21:37We're down to three and 26 left in the third.
21:42Toronto's had extra energy almost from the get-go here.
21:46They were ready for this.
21:47No question about it.
21:49They tuned up against the Suns.
21:50You know, they did the same kind of pounding to the Suns in the paint.
21:56Shed with a basketball.
21:59I'm going to feel like Vili inside.
22:01Back to Brandon Ingram.
22:04Clock at five for Ingram.
22:06Bumps on Herder.
22:08Ducks in.
22:09Fires.
22:09No.
22:12Is he going to get bailed out by a foul?
22:14Late foul.
22:23They're going to say he had his hand on his back as he was shooting the basketball.
22:29It was enough to be disconcerting.
22:32So two free throws here for Brandon Ingram.
22:36We have 3-0-3 to play in the third.
22:38The Pistons are on the short end.
22:4085-77.
22:42Now a message from Figer Law.
22:45If you've been injured in an auto accident, make Figer Law your first call.
22:50Figer Law.
22:51All we do is win.
22:53All we do is win.
23:01Beckett one pops out.
23:03Paul Reed fights for the rebound.
23:06Bumps it off to Ron Holland.
23:11Ron wants to drive.
23:13Still has it.
23:14Doubles to Karis Levert.
23:17Karis to the basket.
23:18Lifts it up lefty.
23:19No.
23:19Tap by Paul Reed.
23:20No.
23:21Grab this for the rebound.
23:22And the Raptors have it.
23:28Ingram to the lane.
23:32Get back to Ingram for a long run.
23:34It goes.
23:36This crowd was ready to erupt.
23:38And they just did.
23:40It's now 89-77 Toronto.
23:472-28 to play here third quarter.
23:52Ingram with a big ball game.
23:55He has 25.
23:57Pistons take time out.
23:59These games down this stretch.
24:01The Pistons have already secured a postseason berth.
24:04Certainly the Toronto Raptors would like to remain in that sixth seed at worst.
24:09One of the things J.B.
24:10Vickerstaff talked about is that he doesn't feel like his guys have settled.
24:14He said, you know, you kind of are where you are as the one seed.
24:17And you feel like people are chasing you.
24:19But he says, we feel like we're still chasing people.
24:23If you're going to win multiple rounds in the playoffs, yeah, you'd like to have the number
24:27one overall seed, but you're going to have to go on the road to win games.
24:31So whether you've got home court throughout or the second or third seed, you've got to
24:34get out there and win regardless on the road.
24:37Tonight, obviously a very tough road environment here in the regular season, George.
24:41What kind of experience you need?
24:44Houston's trying to come back from being down a dozen.
24:47K calls for it.
24:52Then Scottie Barnes is amped up defensively.
24:55He's not the only one.
24:56And they're all really guarding up tight and making it difficult for the Pistons to run
25:00their offense.
25:01So as a result, they've got six seconds on the shot clock and they're taking this thing
25:05out by the hash mark.
25:08Lob inside.
25:09Ron Holland.
25:10A couple of pump fakes.
25:12Blocked from behind by Barnes.
25:15Shot clock down to 3.1.
25:22Barnes second block.
25:25He has nine points and ten rebounds.
25:29He lobs the J.D.
25:31Flips it up and it does drop.
25:34Kind bounce.
25:42That was Paul Reed.
25:48They've hooped for the Pistons from Paul.
25:51Not his first big basket.
25:54Raptors topside.
25:56And connecting.
26:02Yacoby Walter.
26:07Amukelashvili.
26:08That's the ball away.
26:10Trips as he gets the four court.
26:1431-13 run and, you know, every kind of thing in the midst of all of that.
26:20Putbacks, fast breaks, three-pointers, and certainly a lot of stops on the part of the Raptors.
26:26And the shots won't fall like that one by Cade.
26:31A minute and 15 left in the third.
26:36Ingram against Herter.
26:45Technical foul.
26:55Called on Cade.
27:04Quick word for Eric Lewis from Cade.
27:09We know in the NBA, a 14-point lead is certainly not insurmountable with as much time to go in
27:17this game as we know.
27:18But if you're the Pistons, 14 needs to be as high as it gets.
27:22Exactly.
27:23You're, you know, 1-0-9 to go.
27:25Put yourselves in position for a fourth quarter surge.
27:30By what you do over this last 1-0-9.
27:33Ingram against LeVert.
27:36Ingram behind him.
27:39Now, Deemons comes out to Amukelashvili.
27:42His shot's going to be late and wide.
27:44Second, 24-second clock violation in one game.
27:48You don't, you know, you might not see that in 10 games.
27:57Cade to fourth quarter against Walter.
28:03Should be a mismatch.
28:05Cade with the drive.
28:06Gets to the basket.
28:07Bumped and fouled.
28:16It's on Walter.
28:18Cade's going to the free throw line.
28:28Got the first.
28:30This is Needham All now.
28:36Cade has 24 and 7 assists.
28:47Now 25.
28:49And we're still in the third.
28:5293-81 Toronto.
28:58Jamal Shedd.
29:01Left corners to Ingram.
29:06Ingram backs up on top.
29:09Against Paul Reed.
29:11Slings it up.
29:11It's short.
29:13Cade with the rebound.
29:1420 seconds to play in the quarter.
29:17Amazing block.
29:21On Ron Holland.
29:32Time running out in the third.
29:35What the Pizzins don't need
29:39is another hoop
29:45for Toronto.
29:52A spinning gun
29:54as time runs out
29:56from Ingram
29:57and it goes.
30:00That's a hurting swing
30:02because the Pizzins thought
30:03they had a layup
30:04that would have made it
30:05a 10-point game.
30:06They didn't get it,
30:06but Ingram able to take advantage
30:08of six-tenths of a second.
30:10It's a 14-point lead.
30:12Look at that block.
30:13That was a foul.
30:14That was a foul.
30:16They got him with his body
30:18first.
30:19Shedd.
30:2136-17 Raptors
30:22in the third.
30:26Ingram over there.
30:27They just took a hoop
30:28away from him.
30:30That'll make Piston fans
30:31back home smile.
30:33I wondered how he could
30:34catch this thing
30:35and turn and hold it
30:36the way he does
30:37to get it behind his head
30:38and do all that
30:39in six-tenths of a second.
30:40So good, good
30:42re-examination
30:43by the officials.
30:45Negate that bucket.
30:48Marcus Sasser
30:50drives and misses.
30:52Off the floor
30:53to the Raptors.
30:58Emmanuel quickly
30:59into the paint
31:00to Scottie Barnes.
31:01Missed the shot.
31:03Rebound Javante Green.
31:05Important bench minutes
31:07right now.
31:07with one starter
31:08on the floor.
31:09Two starters
31:09that is for the Pistons.
31:11Paris LeVert
31:12topside.
31:12Long gun.
31:13No.
31:18Raptors rebounded.
31:19That's Jacoby Walter
31:20who got the rebound.
31:22Quickly topside
31:25against Sasser.
31:30Raptors go inside.
31:32Capirtle for a score.
31:33for the last pass
31:35made by Scottie Barnes
31:36in tight quarters.
31:3995-81.
31:42And Tobias
31:43with a huge
31:44hoop for the Pistons.
31:46It's a triple
31:47and the lead's 11
31:49with 10 and 42
31:50still to go in the game.
31:54Emmanuel quickly.
32:01drops it off.
32:03Barnes no.
32:05And
32:09push called
32:10on Javante Green.
32:13On Jacoby Walter.
32:15I really cannot remember
32:17the last time
32:18the Pistons
32:18had no answers
32:20on the defensive glass.
32:23I mean,
32:24they are getting pummeled
32:26in that category.
32:29Hurtle.
32:31Hurtle.
32:32Inside.
32:34Scottie Barnes
32:35scores
32:37and draws a foul.
32:43Rodgers Sasser
32:44with a foul.
32:46Found himself
32:46in a tough spot
32:47on the
32:49incoming pass.
32:50He's giving up
32:50about four good
32:51inches,
32:52maybe five good
32:52inches right there.
32:53Scottie Barnes
32:54made it pay off.
32:58Barnes makes
32:58the free throw.
33:00J.B. Vickersham
33:01is going to take
33:02a timeout.
33:02Plenty of time
33:03to plot some strategy
33:05and make an appeal.
33:07And
33:08mount a comeback.
33:10An appeal
33:10to rebound.
33:12Rebound.
33:12And that's the fact
33:13that Jacoby
33:14is a player.
33:16He's 7 feet
33:17253,
33:18but look at him
33:18run the floor
33:19and finish.
33:20He's been involved
33:21in so many
33:24second chance
33:24opportunities
33:25with his work
33:26on the offensive glass.
33:27As we talked
33:27about it
33:28coming into the game,
33:29he is a good,
33:30good player
33:31in the NBA
33:31right now.
33:32More than serviceable.
33:34He has 14 rebounds
33:36in this game
33:36and eight of them
33:37have been offensive.
33:38That is a season
33:39high for him
33:40on the offensive glass.
33:41At 18 points,
33:43helping the Raptors
33:44to a 98-84 lead
33:46here early
33:47in the fourth.
33:49They extend
33:49their defense
33:50out to the timeline.
33:55The bump
33:57by Jacoby Walter
33:59called for a foul.
34:04Harris Levert,
34:05Marcus Sasser,
34:07Javonte Green,
34:10Tobias Harris,
34:11and Jalen Duren
34:13for the Pistons.
34:14They go to J.D.
34:17Puts it on the floor
34:18against Kirtle
34:19and the shot
34:19is swatted.
34:31Boudy Barnes
34:34way outside
34:35and a miss
34:38for Walter.
34:43This is even
34:44stopping the score
34:45and said they
34:45throw it away.
34:48Well taken away
34:49by Walter.
34:52They got the stop.
34:53They didn't get the score.
34:54Now they've got to
34:55try it again.
34:58Quickly on the drive.
34:59It's off the heel.
35:01Tobias with a rebound.
35:03Harris Levert
35:04to forecourt.
35:07Tobias has Pirtle
35:08out on him.
35:09He'll shut out
35:09Quickum.
35:11Lends it into the corner.
35:13Missed for Marcus Sasser.
35:16This is good
35:17another chance.
35:18Harris Levert
35:19can't score
35:20in close.
35:21The ball's on the deck.
35:23Comes away to Sasser.
35:27Javante Green
35:27and Tobias
35:28from the baseline.
35:30Buries it.
35:30Kept his cool.
35:34I'd like to see
35:35the Pistons
35:35get it under 10
35:36and put a little bit
35:37more pressure
35:37on the Raptors.
35:38Make them a little
35:39less comfortable.
35:418-37 to play.
35:4498-86 Toronto.
35:46Yeah, big defensive
35:47sequence here
35:47for the Pistons.
35:51Everybody's hollering
35:52let's go Raptors.
35:54if they don't convert.

36:04it won't fall
36:05but J.D.'s there
36:07to follow it up
36:07and fill it up.
36:13Pirtle's down
36:14and hurt.
36:27It's a 10-point game.
36:34He's not having
36:35the scoring impact
36:36that Cade Cunningham is
36:39but he's having
36:40every bit as good
36:41a game
36:42with all the other
36:43things that he's doing
36:44like dishing the
36:45basketball

44:15gate to four court
44:18gate with the crossover drive
44:21pump picks in the crowd
44:22ball poked away for the foul
44:26just at the last moment
44:27someone grabbed the wrist
44:31right in front of Toronto's bench
44:33so they're living down there
44:34but there was contact on the wrist
44:37first of all
44:38they make Cade pick his dribble up
44:39in a crowd
44:40and now he's trying to get a couple of
44:42pump fakes and there's the hand
44:43Barrett
44:44RJ Barrett committed the foul
44:48Paul Reed
44:49and Javante come out
44:53about a two-minute rest
44:54for Jalen Dern
44:56with Paul Reed on the floor
44:57during the rest of the way
44:59I imagine
45:02Fertle
45:02back in the ball game
45:04for the Raptors
45:05Cade puts his shoulder down
45:07goes baseline
45:07fires and fills it up
45:13big-time basket
45:15seven-point game
45:17439 to play
45:21she had to Brandon Ingram
45:27shot won't call for Barrett
45:29the rebound comes away
45:31to Scottie Barnes
45:34Ingram almost lost it
45:36shot clock at five
45:37now it's at four
45:38now it's at three
45:40Tobias in front of him
45:41he will force
45:42it short
45:45Jalen Dern
45:46trying to get it off the floor
45:49Eric Jalen calls a foul
45:51on Asar Thompson
45:52what started as a problem
45:54has been an issue
45:55all day
45:56all game long
45:57and that's
45:58watch this shot goes up
45:59Pistons just not getting
46:01enough bodies
46:02in position
46:03they were trying hard
46:04but the contact
46:05excessive in the eyes
46:06of the officials
46:07so they get another
46:08crack at it
46:10outside it goes
46:11to shed
46:15through the lane
46:16shot off glass nose
46:17Duncan Robinson tapped it
46:19out to Asar
46:19Cade flies to the rim
46:23look out now
46:24three and fifty-nine
46:25to play
46:26the Pistons have scored
46:27seven straight
46:29and they're within five
46:33and they're within five
46:33we've said it before
46:34Pistons are a hard team
46:36to put away
46:36hard team to put away
46:38and
46:39the Raptors turn it back
46:41over
46:45this might have been the
46:46fast of all fast breaks
46:47look at this
46:48Cade
46:48by himself
46:50Duncan Robinson started it
46:52with that quick tap

53:10credit
53:10plenty of it
53:11they played a great game
53:13today
53:13they had a focus
53:14they were looking to be
53:16more physical
53:16and they certainly were
53:18their work on the
53:18offensive glass is the
53:20difference in the game
53:20and George
53:21they're not just trying to
53:23settle for 6th place
53:24in the East
53:25they'd like to get to 5
53:27because 6th place
53:28pitched them against
53:29the New York Knicks
53:30a team they not had
53:30a lot of success against
53:32but 5th place
53:34would put them
53:34perhaps against
53:35Cleveland
53:36a team they have
53:37played well against
53:37so they are jockeying
53:39and they are working
53:40hard and they earned
53:41this victory today
53:42I don't know if they
53:43can play any better
53:44than they have
