13:23Johnson. Johnson appeared to be there. There was contact.
13:31Zane Johnson was moving with him.
13:34I thought that's what defense was supposed to do.
13:37Move with the offensive guy.
13:40The Grizzlies, you may know this, they've lost eight straight games.
13:45They're coming off a 132-107 blowout at Chicago.
13:51And Gigi's shaking up a little bit.
13:54The last win for the Grizzlies, Sunday, March 1st at Indiana.
14:00A team that has hit the skids.
14:05Now Cam Spencer will come on.
14:08Brother Pat on a two-way contract with Golden State and out goes Coward.
14:15Coward two points, one of four shooting.
14:18Spencer an excellent outside shooter.
14:25Make it 16-12.
14:27Grizzlies, first quarter.
14:31Altitude Sports on 9 News tonight.
14:38Murray, long-range story.
14:40That's no good.
14:41Getting the shots.
14:43Missing some open ones.
14:44Now gets five of 12 so far.
14:47Spencer in on Cam Johnson now Wells for three.
14:53Jalen Wells shooting below average from three.
15:0035 and a half percent.
15:01Average is 36.
15:03And Cameron Johnson inside had his shot blocked by Jackson.
15:09And Christian Brown, is that off Jerome, out of bounds?
15:12It is.
15:12He hit his foot.
15:13He wants to challenge it.
15:17Now Jackson goes out and replaced by Hendricks.
15:20Here comes Tim Hardaway Jr.
15:25The baseline official came and changed it.
15:31So the guy on the ball, no, the ball guy off the ball.
15:36Yes, take a look.
15:37We'll get it right here.
15:38Yeah, kicked right off his foot.
15:40The Nuggets gonna challenge him.
15:42So your lead official comes over and challenges
15:44and changes the play and it's wrong.
15:48Hardaway is in.
15:51Hardaway providing 35% of the Nuggets points
15:54off the bench as Spencer Jones sits.
15:59Now we've got a corner three on the way.
16:00That's no good.
16:01Murray tracks down the rebound.
16:03Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, Katie wins you on the road.
16:06A back-to-back.
16:07And now we've got a foul inside.
16:10Maybe on Hendricks holding.
16:13It is his first.
16:14See if they don't start getting joker deeper in the paint right now.
16:17They're going to go a little smaller.
16:19What they have available.
16:25Tyler Burton comes on.
16:28He's a rookie from Villanova.
16:31Walter Clayton Jr.
16:33Is coming in.
16:33The former NCAA player of the year in Florida.
16:36And a kid that they really like.
16:40Javon Small.
16:41He played college at West Virginia.
16:43Another rookie.
16:44As Murray drops it up and in.
16:46Just a quick high-low out of the out-of-bounds.
16:50Small post it up.
16:53Oh, lots of players.
16:55Memphis has the highest scoring bench in the league.
16:57And you see why they all play.
16:59And Christian Brown has a steal.
17:00Off he goes.
17:01And there it goes.
17:03Christian Brown gets the Nuggets back to within three.
17:0719-16.
17:09The CB off 22 last night.
17:13Already with seven tonight.
17:18Spencer.
17:24Got a good outside look.
17:26That's missed.
17:28And the offensive rebound taken by Small.
17:33Trying to shoot over Christian Brown.
17:35Couldn't.
17:38Nuggets defense pretty good there.
17:39Oh, and a good shot.
17:41The turnaround is pure.
17:45Clayton Jr. with it.
17:50And Jokic yet to take a shot.
17:53They're paying a lot of attention to him.
17:56Inside.
17:56There it is.
17:57And a foul.
17:59You like him in the low post, right?
18:01Well, especially with the size of Memphis right now.
18:04That was just Joker doing on his own with one of the quick cuts.
18:08If he goes left-handed, he may not make it.
18:11He gets bumped by Clayton right there.
18:14And then brings back to the right hand to get a little closer to the backboard.
18:20Well, good move.
18:21Good cut by Nikola.
18:23So a milestone.
18:26As Nikola Jokic ties Magic Johnson for 90th on the all-time career points list.
18:32And now he's ahead of Magic.
18:33Well, you're in that company.
18:35You're doing pretty good.
18:35I think the Magic's only at 90.
18:39Mm-hmm.
18:402119 our school.
18:42Nuggets are behind.
18:43Less than five minutes ago.
18:45First quarter.
18:46You saw Bruce Brown come in.
18:47He's going to guard Clayton Jr. for now.
18:51I think it seemed like they're back in the zone.
18:53However, now we've got a three-pointer all the way.
18:56And Murray is up high.
19:00Now you're starting to get a little sweat going.
19:02So that's good.
19:06Bruce Brown has been shooting the three.
19:08Well, terrible pass by Bruce.
19:10Just telegraphed it into Jokic.
19:12And if you tell it, oh, steal.
19:14Christian Brown, get a year old.
19:16He does scoop it up and in.
19:19Go back in that turnover.
19:20If you're going to telegraph it, it means you should have made it earlier.
19:23Don't make it the second time.
19:24But then here's Christian with the second steal that just saves it.
19:28A 9-2 scoring run for Denver.
19:30Now, Grizzlies long range.
19:31That's no good.
19:32Jokic has it.
19:33The outlet to Brown.
19:35Brown was hot in the first quarter last night.
19:37And he's been a key factor so far here on the second night of the back-to-back.
19:43Now, Spencer going to Jokic.
19:45Jokic in deep.
19:46Got a good look for Bruce Brown.
19:47He fires.
19:49And it's no good.
19:51Grizzlies won't like to run it up.
19:56Grizz 48 and 34 last year.
19:59Finished 8th in the West.
20:00But then they got knocked down the first round by OKC.
20:04Had to change coaches with nine games remaining.
20:09Now, wide open for Clayton.
20:11Clayton is no good.
20:12Jokic water pulls it to himself.
20:14Snaps the pass to Murray.
20:16Bounce pass to Christian Brown.
20:19And he lays it up and in.
20:23Now, the Nuggets have the lead.
20:26At 23-21, it's their first of the night.
20:31Well, I said that you see a little sweat starting to come up.
20:35And that means your body's loosened up.
20:36You feel a little better.
20:38Denver doing it with defense and fast break.
20:41Lead coming at the 319 mark of the first quarter.
20:44Up 23-21.
20:46Time now for who you can count on more.
20:49Brought to you by UMB Bank.
20:51Christian Brown last night.
20:52First quarter, hot, running, steaming.
20:57And tonight, the same thing.
20:59Last night, that first quarter was a whole lot of half-court offense cuts.
21:05Tonight's been get out on the break and get going type of plays.
21:10So, wow, they keep doing that.
21:12Let's go.
21:12Nuggets already with nine fast break points.
21:16Many of them courtesy of Christian Brown.
21:18And eight of their ten field goals already have been in the paint.
21:21The other two three-pointers.
21:24Now, the Grizzlies content to fire up some threes.
21:27And there's another one.
21:29A long, drawn-out three there.
21:34And Grizzlies back on top.
21:36Number four of 11, so not horrible.
21:44A reverse for Jokic, and he is fouled.
21:48Jokic can get that pretty much any time he wants, which is a crazy statement.
21:54Because, I mean, look how big he is compared to the next guy.
21:57He can spin and drive by a guy quicker that's quicker, which just shows you the footwork matters.
22:05And now they're going to challenge this foul.
22:10Another first-quarter challenge.
22:13Thomas Isolo, there he is, the head coach.
22:16His first full season took over for Taylor Jenkins.
22:19Memphis is called a timeout to challenge the defensive foul.
22:24Boy, I just don't get the wisdom of this.
22:27Unless you're absolutely sure you're going to get that back.
22:32So, this coach's challenge presented by Meritrust Credit Union,
22:36where your financial well-being is our purpose.
22:39Our officiating crew tonight, Brian Forte, is the crew chief, Kevin Cutler and Eric Lewis.
22:48The Nuggets without Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson tonight.
22:53That is as clear a foul as you're going to get,
22:57unless they think they poke the ball out first.
22:59Well, I'll go back to the OKC game,
23:02where Christian Brown blocked Shea Gildes' shot clean,
23:05falled to, may have got the bottom of the palm afterwards.
23:08And they said that was a foul.
23:11So, if that's a foul and this isn't, then the league is crazy.
23:20After review, the defender cleanly strips the ball
23:23and it immediately goes out of bounds.
23:26The call on the floor is overturned.
23:28It will be Denver ball as Memphis last touched it.
23:30The challenge is successful.
23:33All right, a successful challenge.
23:34Just unbelievable.
23:36To me, the league needs to get all their fists together.
23:38Let's make a uniform.
23:39What is it?
23:40If you hit ball, then you can go ahead and club a guy.
23:44There's...
23:45Well, he's over the shoulder there.
23:47Yeah, that's clean, folks.
23:49If you get the ball first and then make contact...
23:52Again, I go back to the Shea Gildes' block by Christian Brown.
23:55He got ball first.
23:56What they call...
23:57He did get ball first and they deemed it was a legal contact after that on the wrist.
24:02How hard you hit it?
24:04How about the contact after that one right there?
24:07Apparently, the officials disagree with you, Scott.
24:10Now, Hendricks...
24:11You can learn a few things.
24:12You were the official.
24:14Nice block.
24:15Jokic.
24:16Grizzlies scramble it up.
24:1724-23 Memphis.
24:20Keeping a track on Spencer.
24:23Spencer in on Bruce Brown over to Clayton.
24:26Tough shot there for Clayton.
24:28That's no good.
24:30And it's going to be white basketball.
24:32Nuggets will have them.
24:34Grizzlies playing shorthanded.
24:36They're without Ja Morant, Zach Eady, Brandon Clark, Scotty Pippen Jr., Ty Jerome, and Santee Aldama.
24:43So, six regulars, including two starters, the stick completely revamped Grizzlies team.
24:50Now, Jokic.
24:52Guarded tightly by Hendricks and Hendricks takes it away.
24:57Spencer going to shoot the three.
24:58That's what he does.
25:04No.
25:06David Adelman is pregame pressure talking about turnovers.
25:12And Bruce Brown steps out of bounds.
25:13There's another turnover, yeah.
25:20So, a little bit exasperated.
25:23Wants to get shots up, right, Scott?
25:25Get shots on the board.
25:26Let us take the chance.
25:28Make them set our defense.
25:31As Gigi Jackson comes back in.
25:41Grizzlies with Jackson, Spencer, Hendricks, Clayton.
25:49Gigi.
25:51Short.
25:52Hardaway goes and gets it.
25:55Hardaway having an excellent season for the Denver Nuggets.
26:00They leave him alone, and it's a round-and-out.
26:03Jokic there.
26:04Jokic one-on-one against Gigi.
26:06And there's the foul.
26:13Gigi picks up.
26:15First of all, number one.
26:17Jokic to the free throw line.
26:19Only took seven shots last night.
26:21Ended up with eight points, seven rebounds, 14 assists.
26:26You see what he's doing so far tonight.
26:36Game on.
26:38Red Bull's in play at Circle K.
26:39By three for 8.50 on any Red Bull Energy 12-ounce drink.
26:46Could have used some of that late night.
26:49When we landed at 4.00 a.m.
26:52He's been up to 8 o'clock.
26:54That was up to 5.30.
26:57Go was on.
27:01The Grizzlies by three.
27:04First quarter.
27:05Spencer Jones back in.
27:07Gordon Clayton.
27:09Baseline drive.
27:10And it's going to be a lay-in.
27:12Nicely done.
27:15Cedric Coward with his second bucket.
27:22Now he's trying to shake off the cobwebs here.
27:27Now Taj Gibson has come on to guard Jokic.
27:30A voice from the past.
27:32Now Christian Brown is wide open.
27:35And he hammers it home.
27:38Christian Brown having an all-star first quarter.
27:4114 points.
27:43Stripped by Jokic.
27:45Taken by Jokic.
27:51Final 25 seconds here in the first.
27:57Quarter three.
27:58Hardaway.
27:59Got it.
28:00The Nuggets making some big shots.
28:02And they have the lead back at 30-29.
28:08Very high.
28:09Any quarter for Christian Brown.
28:1114 points.
28:13At 22 last night.
28:15So on his way to a big night.
28:22And Christian Brown, yeah, there's a 23.
28:28And now Clayton will bring it in.
28:31Coward's guarded by Hardaway.
28:34Coward pulls up.
28:36Off the mark.
28:37Taj Gibson with a rebound to beat the clock.
28:39And that's good.
28:41And that's good.
28:42Coward.
28:43Point two remaining.
28:45Jokic.
28:46The heave.
28:47And that's the end of the first quarter.
28:49Up and down for the Denver Nuggets.
28:50Pick right spot was Christian Brown with 14.
28:5631-30.
28:57Grizz.
28:57We head to sports on 9 News.

29:12By Red Canary.
29:13Full court defense that stops cyber threats.
29:17And by Advent Health reminding us to never underestimate the human spirit.
29:24Memphis, Tennessee.
29:25Jonas Valanciunas has come on.
29:27He'll be guarded by Taj Gibson.
29:29Jokic gets a breather.
29:31And this will be Valanciunas grabbing the jersey on Taj Gibson's jersey.
29:37All right.
29:38For a report, let's go over to Katie.
29:39Guys, David Edelman told his group stay focused here after that first quarter.
29:43Reminded them that they're pressing make or miss.
29:45So when you do get the ball to go on offense, take a look around.
29:48Be sure of your scenarios.
29:49And then stop me if you've heard this before.
29:50Really encouraging the guys to rebound so they can get out and run.
29:53He said we will have layups on the other end.
29:56All right.
29:57Speaking of rebounding, there's Jonas Valanciunas coming off a good game.
30:00He just missed a double-double last night.
30:04Eight points, nine rebounds.
30:05Now Spencer Jones lets it go.
30:08And cowered the rebound.
30:10Cowered a candidate for all rookie.
30:12Now Gigi Jackson is on the run.
30:16And a whistle.
30:18Be a foul on Spencer Jones.
30:23They love the enthusiasm of Jones.
30:25They just don't want him to reach when the opposing player is somewhere in the paint.
30:30Yeah, I mean, tell Jackson's game.
30:32He's got a little hard away in him.
30:33He extends that basketball.
30:35He is hoping for somebody to get an arm in there.
30:41Free throw, no good.
30:43Tired of replacing your roof every couple of years.
30:45Break the cycle.
30:46Get your roof for a lifetime from Red Hawk Roofing.
30:48Go with the pros.
30:50Red Hawk Roofing.
30:54Gigi Jackson at the line.
30:56Full name is Gregory.
30:57Goes by Gigi because his little sister, Nyla, couldn't say Gregory.
31:00So she said Gigi, and it's stuck.
31:03He gets one of two.
31:09For Murray, Jonas, Brown, Jones, and Hardaway.
31:15The five on the floor for Denver.
31:19Hand off Murray.
31:20They switch.
31:21Murray's in the lane.
31:25Chris Brown picks it up.
31:26Five to shoot.
31:27Brown on the dribble drive.
31:28Going to have to fade away here.
31:30Throws it up wildly.
31:32Take it by Ty Jerome.
31:36Hesitating on shots right now.
31:39Older.
31:40He's getting him in trouble.
31:42I thought Murray had a shot right away.
31:44Clayton Jr.
31:45That's no good.
31:46And a terrific rebound by Coward.
31:49Flying in from the baseline right over the top.
31:56Grizzlies young, aggressive.
31:58They're rebuilding.
31:59They traded Jaron Jackson Jr.
32:01to Utah for picks.
32:05Retooling if you like.
32:06Trying to figure out what to do with John Morant.
32:09Now under the Taj Gibson.
32:12Gigi Jackson in on Spencer.
32:15Trying to get by Spencer.
32:18That's a good defense by Spencer Jones.
32:25Two-point lead for the Grizz.
32:28Hardaway to Valanchunas.
32:30Into the lane he goes.
32:31And he drops it in.
32:32He's too big for Taj Gibson.
32:34He can bully him if he wants.
32:35Yeah, just use the body.
32:37It's a big night for him to have a great game.
32:40Taj is an oldie but a goodie.
32:42You might remember him from his days in Minnesota.
32:45Up on the glass.
32:46No.
32:47Spencer Jones has the rebound.
32:50Tied at 32.
32:56And we've got a screening foul on Spencer Jones.
33:00Who seems to be a player for the Nuggets every season
33:03that picks up more than their share of fouls?
33:06That last step.
33:07You see that last step.
33:09Don't do it.
33:10If the ball handler is not going to use your screen,
33:15you know, don't take that extra step.
33:18I mean, he took an extra step.
33:20But Gibson will too.
33:22Like that right there.
33:23And that's okay.
33:25Jerome.
33:26Got another one.
33:27The Tide Jerome.
33:29He likes Murray on him right now.
33:31He's just shooting deeper, deeper, deeper.
33:34He spent most of the year recovering from a high-grade calf strain.
33:38He didn't make his debut this season until January 31st.
33:43Hardaway down.
33:45And here comes Coward.
33:49Tide Jerome is hot.
33:51He missed that one.
33:53And Coward goes and gets it.
33:55Boy, Coward has got some energy, doesn't he?
33:57Now he's got to do a better job on the defensive glass.
34:00Yeah, that's guards right there.
34:01They've got to move.
34:02There's a lot of standing and watching.
34:04Five to one on the O-boards.
34:05Now Murray's in the lane, stumbles.
34:08And there's going to be some belly aching on this one.
34:12As Murray, we think we'll go to the free throw line to shoot two.
34:20Oh, you've got a tired Denver team, a young Memphis team.
34:23And they're rolling in two and three subs at a time.
34:26They're just keeping fresh bodies.
34:27I think trying to wear the legs out of Denver right now.
34:35Murray at the line where he shoots 87.5%, drops it in.
34:48Jackson and Coward go out.
34:54Tyler Burton back in.
34:5726-year-old from Villanova.
35:00Murray makes two.
35:04And a one-point game.
35:08Dejan Jerro is wearing number 77.
35:11Ty Jerome slicing through the Nuggets defense.
35:17Full court pressure.
35:18You mentioned it, Scott.
35:19Now they're just trying to take,
35:20they're trying to wear the legs down of Denver.
35:23Burton is guarding Bruce Brown.
35:31Now Murray, shaking, lost it.
35:39Dejan Jerro.
35:40Dejan Jerro lays it up and in.
35:42Timeout.
35:43David Adelman and the Nuggets.
35:45Getting the run a bit here.
35:48A 7-2 run for the Grizzlies who lead by five.
35:55By as many as seven.
35:56They're down by five at the moment here in the second quarter.
35:59It's time now for a live odds update brought to you by FanDuel.
36:03The Nuggets a 12-and-a-half-point road favorite to start the night.
36:08That's dropped to 8-and-a-half.
36:10The money line minus 530.
36:13And the total points 241-and-a-half.
36:16What do you notice early in this game?
36:18A tired team.
36:21Memphis is trying to play quick.
36:23You knew that David talked about the pre-game presser.
36:25That they're trying to play quick.
36:27They're trying to play downhill.
36:28Divert is just trying to hold on.
36:30I think here in the first half, try to get some legs under them.
36:3416th back-to-back of the season and one more coming.
36:40Now Cam Johnson over to Murray into Val.
36:45Val and Val shakes off a couple of tacklers and scores it easy.
36:53And that's where the Nuggets have a huge advantage.
36:58How did they not get that and they stuffed Jerome?
37:06Johnson left all along, drills it.
37:10They forgot about Cam.
37:15Cam Johnson on the board with his first bucket.
37:20Now long range for Hendricks.
37:21That's no good.
37:22Nuggets trying to box out.
37:26That's Charlie Straubler.
37:33Valanchunas.
37:34Easy.
37:35You get a small guy on you and they still play defense.
37:37He'd rather go for it.
37:38And then look, everybody just jumped off of Cam, followed the cutter with Spencer.
37:50In the lane, no.
37:52And Valanchunas back on the beam, gobbles up the rebound.
37:55Snap it over to Strother.
37:56Here he comes.
37:57Oh, and the ball is batted out of bounds by Dijon Giroux.
38:04Third NBA season, played his college ball at Houston.
38:08And the native of New Orleans, he gets...
38:11He just...
38:12He didn't feel the defender on his back, the little step through.
38:18Well, Murray being pursued by Wells.
38:21Strother got a floater in the lane.
38:23That's a beauty.
38:24He could go a long way.
38:26Didn't play tons of minutes last night, but they need some energy and some downhill play.
38:31He could provide that.
38:33Well, the Nuggets...
38:36With seven quick points by my addition, I'm confirmed.
38:41Hendricks coming in on Valanchunas, drops it in.
38:47And I guess trailed by one at the end of the first quarter.
38:51Tied at the moment at 41.
38:55Murray.
38:57Off the heel.
38:58Nobody there to offensive rebound.
38:59It tied Jerome looking for the long jumper.
39:04Jerome and Giroux in the backcourt now.
39:08Now, three on the way.
39:09That's no good.
39:10Murray goes and gets it.
39:11Murray's got nine points, five rebounds, four assists.
39:14So, off to a good start.
39:17Dumb it under the valve.
39:18And Val overshot it.
39:21Had a tough angle there.
39:24Now, corner three.
39:26Well, that's no good.
39:33Second time, Denver's gotten a foul, trying to block out.
39:40And Nikola Jokic set to check back in for Denver.
39:47A lot of the younger teams, they're not so much worried about getting back on Denver.
39:51They're worried about crashing, getting extra possessions.
39:57No, Burton is at the line.
39:59Well, when you're kind of fatigue team, back to back, and that late rival conserved energy too many times.
40:11For the best deals around, get your bevies at Bevy's Liquor World in Littleton and Parker.
40:20Tyler Burton.
40:23And Valanchunas and Jones get a breather.
40:27Jokic, Cam, Christian Brown, who had a big first quarter, Murray and Strother.
40:34Grizz up by two.
40:37Midway through the second quarter.
40:40Cam Johnson way out.
40:41Yeah!
40:43Cam, long range.
40:44He was very good at that last year with Brooklyn before coming over to Denver.
40:49Got a slow start.
40:50Rounding into four and then got hurt.
40:52And now he looks like he's almost all the way back.
40:55Great stab by Jokic.
40:56He threw it away, trying to advance.
40:58Did have an energy on it.
41:01Hendricks for three.
41:01That's no good.
41:04Murray ahead.
41:07Cam back to Murray.
41:09Murray dribble drive.
41:13Now Jokic with ten on the clock.
41:16And the pass.
41:18He's trying to get that corner three.
41:21And that's just kind of getting used to playing with.
41:23And Strother was just that kind of cutting in.
41:27Well, Tim Hardaway, Jr. back in.
41:33Had one three early.
41:34Murray's going to get a break.
41:36Strother, Brown, Johnson, Hardaway, Jokic.
41:41Small.
41:49Small's got some talent.
41:51Trying to get away from Christian Brown.
41:53Couldn't.
41:53Got an open three for Hendricks.
41:55That's no good.
41:56And Wells bully ball on the Nuggets here.
42:00Long pass.
42:01Christian Brown is out there.
42:03Christian riding it home.
42:04And that's going to be goaltending.
42:06Ball was on the glass and tapped off.
42:08It's going to be two more for Christian.
42:11The lot will be 16 points for Christian Brown.
42:13His first two here in the second quarter.
42:18Denver's had two players getting called for a foul.
42:22A block out.
42:22And one just over the back and got it.
42:25You see the ball touches glass first.
42:37Wow.
42:38It's some good work by Ole Max Prosper.
42:41Kev Johnson just tried not to pick up another foul.
42:46He's saddled with two.
42:48Jones has two.
42:54They're coming way off.
42:56Christian Brown and the Nuggets throwing away.
42:58Prosper.
42:59Megan Hendricks.
43:00He rolls it into a layup.
43:11Memphis, 14 points off turnovers already.
43:15One thing that has really plagued the Nuggets.
43:17They need to clean that up before playoff time.
43:20And that's going to be the third straight turnover.
43:26Tent of the night for Denver.
43:28And again, okay, I want you at X.
43:31I'm a little tired, maybe.
43:32All of a sudden I move to X plus, right?
43:35You don't get to where you want to be.
43:38Small sidesteps.
43:45Now, Yoko Chazza going to work.
43:47Four straight turnovers.
43:52Long three.
43:53That's no good.
43:54Another offensive rebound.
43:56Cam Spencer, that's no good.
43:59That's over the back.
44:00No call.
44:04There was a little struggle bug right here.
44:08The Nuggets got to quit worrying about the fatigue.
44:11Quit worrying about the officials.
44:13And be a little bit more careful with the basketball right now.
44:17Vince Lombardi said, cousin, I think of it.
44:20What the hell's going on out there?
44:22He said, fatigue makes cowards of us all.
44:25Memphis has missed his last 10 threes.
44:30And Cam Johnson coming up empty there.
44:33Off to the races.
44:35Wells.
44:36Small inside.
44:40Nuggets go back the other way.
44:42Give it to Brown.
44:44And look what Brown does for you.
44:48The big dunk.
44:49He's got 18 here in the first half.
44:52Wells draws the foul.
44:55That's one of those plays, Scott.
44:57Those bump and runs.
45:00Christian Brown leading the way for the Denver Nuggets.
45:09Grizzlies by one when we come back.
45:14Right now it's time to take off with Southwest Airlines.
45:17Well, the onus of Allen Tunis getting a little lift early.
45:22Shrugging off.
45:24Grizzlies.
45:27Right by Jerome.
45:28Right through Hendricks.
45:31And the put away for Big Val.
45:32Well, you see Jerome can't go for the steal.
45:36Memphis already has seven steals in the game.
45:38He was looking for eight right there.
45:40But if you don't get it, you just put your defense in a big time trouble.
45:46Jalen Wells is at the line.
45:50Grizzlies already have eight offensive rebounds.
45:53And that's been a concern.
45:55Who seems like the Nuggets need to clean up the little things.
45:58The big things.
45:58Offensive rating.
45:59Things like that.
46:00Scott.
46:01David Alamond's crew is brilliant.
46:03Little things.
46:04Got to get a little bit better.
46:06Right.
46:07Talk about defense.
46:09Okay.
46:09Got to get better defense.
46:10Got to get better defense.
46:12And you give 14 points up to four off of your turnovers.
46:18That's offense.
46:19That's offense efficiency, not defense.
46:22Jokic handoff.
46:24Johnson.
46:28Jokic around the corner.
46:30Hardaway.
46:31Got it.
46:34And Hardaway comes up a little bit.
46:36Gimpy.
46:37I wonder if he came down on a foot over there.
46:43Bench is yelling.
46:44Are they going to look at it?
46:46Finally, Brian Forte says, yeah, we are.
46:51Yeah.
46:51He gets tangled up.
46:52No doubt about it.
46:53He reviewed for a potential flagrant foul.
46:57Inadvertent, but dangerous.
46:59Cam Spencer getting out there late.
47:01And Hardaway walking very carefully.
47:04There's Cam Spencer.
47:07Great three-point shooter.
47:0844.5%.
47:11But Spencer just out of control here.
47:16Catches the ankle.
47:22Again, I don't think it's intentional.
47:26But I don't...
47:29You wouldn't call that a foul?
47:30No, I think it's a foul.
47:32Because the rules state, you've got to give a guy landing space and all that stuff.
47:36My idea of flagrant is more of the intentional style, not an accidental.
47:40He got under the foot, so I don't know.
47:42After review, the defender closes out from a distance and lands in the landing space of the shooter.
47:47The foot-to-foot contact is a result from the natural drift to the shot.
47:52It is a flagrant foul penalty one, two to make one because the shot went in.
47:57All right, Scotty.
48:00A little hard away.
48:03You don't see this very often, but two to make one here because the shot went in.
48:07And instead of a four-point play just because you got fouled on that, I guess you get the technical.
48:16But I think they're going to put people up the line.
48:19Well, hard away.
48:23So, nobody on the line here.
48:24And if he makes it, their ball, if he misses, he gets another one.
48:28Exactly.
48:32One more look.
48:33Spencer trying to get away from Christian Brown.
48:36Even better, two and two to one.
48:38And now you get the ball back as well.
48:40There you go.
48:41We haven't seen that play in a long time.
48:44We haven't.
48:45Nuggets seven turnovers here in the second quarter.
48:47That's the only thing keeping Memphis in.
48:49Murray.
48:50And Murray draws the foul on Coward.
48:56Cedric Coward.
48:58Grew up in Fresno, California.
49:00Went to Washington State.
49:03Actually started at Willamette in Oregon.
49:07One conference freshman of the year, then went to Eastern Washington, then ending up at Washington State.
49:13Murray a chance to get into double figures here.
49:24So, a four-point play for Hardaway, basically, right?
49:27Yeah.
49:28And then you've got two here for Murray.
49:30Change for a six-point play.
49:34Good little burst here before halftime.
49:37If the Nuggets can get it all.
49:40They do.
49:4454-51, Denver.
49:48Despite the Nuggets having 11 turnovers, which has cost them 14 points.
49:55See if they can close out the quarter in style.
50:00Small.
50:02Trying to juke Brown.
50:05And Brown steals the ball.
50:06Three on two, Denver.
50:08Christian, give it to Jokic.
50:09Back to Christian.
50:10His shot is blocked off the backboard.
50:13And laid it up.
50:16And a foul call.
50:18And his Coward gets to the glass.
50:20What did your old coach tell you about fast break opportunities, Scotty?
50:25Well, if they're not going to stop, you've got to force the defense to get a good pass right back
50:29to him.
50:30But he also said, once you get to the basket, if you can dunk it, you've got to dunk it.
50:36That one right there, if Christian just goes ahead and flushes it, it goes in.
50:39But you kind of lay it up above the rim.
50:41And you give the defender a chance from the back side to get a block.
50:46Cam's going to pick up his third foul.
50:49Two fouls, he's just kind of thrown his arms up in the air and tried to avoid any kind of
50:53contact.
50:54So Johnson sits.
50:56Jones back in.
50:58Once again, no AG, no Peyton Watson.
51:01No timetable for Peyton's return yet.
51:06And a couple of free throws for Coward.
51:09He's an 84-center.
51:11And a one-point lead.
51:13Head towards halftime.
51:18He'll get four, six, and six so far.
51:21Now Murray lets it go.
51:23He's got to reach through and grab his shorts.
51:27He's asking what I'm doing.
51:29It's illegal, young man, to grab a pair of shorts and hold on to him.
51:34Did you never do that in your career?
51:36Yeah, but I was illegal.
51:38You were illegal.
51:39I wasn't afraid.
51:40Rubbing his racing.
51:44But grabbing is not.
51:46No.
51:49Trying to get the ball in yoga.
51:50They're trying to free him up.
51:55Mr. Jones has it.
51:56Good look.
51:57Christian Brown.
51:58Can he do it again?
51:58No, not that time.
52:02Small with a rebound.
52:09Spencer for three.
52:10Yeah, that's a Spencer trailing, trailing the shot.
52:18And they're called a flop play on somebody.
52:23This might be Coward also.
52:26You see the flop signal?
52:28Yeah.
52:29Haven't seen one of those since Hector was a pop.
52:31He's going to shoot it.
52:33But Katie and I've got to get the little camera.
52:34A lot.
52:36We saw one of those.
52:40Have we seen one of those this year?
52:41Is that the first one we've seen this year?
52:43Might be.
52:44Might be.
52:45There was a time when you thought they were going to call that a lot.
52:48You were going to see a whole bevy of that, so to speak.
52:53Murray.
52:56The Denver's just not able to really hold on to any kind of lead.
53:00They'll get up three, four, and then they give up a seven, two, five, one type of run.
53:06Memphis guys shaking their head.
53:08They're thinking, what the heck is that call?
53:11Just under 90 seconds to go.
53:13Coward full court pressure on Murray.
53:16I like the way the Grizzlies play in terms of effort.
53:21And Hardaway is foul.
53:24Yeah, Grizzlies physical.
53:26Fast and physical.
53:28The ball's starting to move a little bit.
53:30In Denver in the second half, orange slices, crisper passes.
53:35You see Memphis trying to play maybe a little bit above their skis physically,
53:40getting themselves in a little bit of trouble in the foul line.
53:44Hardaway at the line.
53:51Now get this low zero down lease on a built-forged tough F-150 for just $479 a month.
53:58Another one for Hardaway.
54:00Gets it.
54:01Now it's a 1-4 straight over Memphis and 9 of the last 10.
54:05They have had the Grizzlies numbers.
54:07First bank halftime reports coming up.
54:09The Clombardi Chris Dempsey are there.
54:16And it's going to be a defensive three-second call on Jokic.
54:22He's sunk back in the paint.
54:25Got two reps on the whistle at the same time.
54:28No free throw coming for Cam Spencer.
54:32Ninety-three and a half percent.
54:35Drops it in.
54:41Not too long ago, this was a feared Grizzlies team with Ja Morant.
54:46It was Denver and Memphis going down right for the second spot or something.
54:53Yeah, one over 50 games a number of times.
54:57Prosper in on Jokic.
54:58Off the mark.
54:59Now gets to collect the rebound.
55:01Spencer's got it.
55:03Tied at 57.
55:05Hardaway under to Christian Brown.
55:06He's thinking about getting a shot block and then turns it over.
55:10Got his shot blocked and layup before.
55:12Now he's too much thinking about it, so he just catches lay it up.
55:17Instead, you get another turnover.
55:21That's the crispness that we've not seen.
55:26That's eight turnovers for the quarter.
55:30And it's going to be another foul on the Nuggets.
55:34It's going to be on Spencer.
55:36That's three on him.
55:39Both teams in the penalty.
55:46Gigi Jackson at the line.
55:58Short.
55:59Hey, if you're injured, no attorney is more qualified to know and to speak about your injuries than the doctor
56:05who's also a lawyer.
56:06Dr. Joseph Ramos, RamosLaw.com.
56:08Who's Brown back in.
56:10Back to no EG tonight.
56:12Yep.
56:14Back to Jokic, four guards.
56:18No EG, no Peyton Watson.
56:20When will the Nuggets get back to full strength?
56:23Hopefully soon.
56:24Now, Jamal Murray.
56:2712 points here.
56:28Jokic lets it go.
56:31And he is eyeballing Brian Forte saying, it could have been a foul.
56:37But he said after last night, he was going to try to get off the offenses a little bit.
56:41But he didn't say I was going to stop staring at him.
56:47Nuggets playing the zone.
56:48The conductor is Jokic.
56:52And Hardaway is called for the foul.
57:00Trying to play two for one, so Jokic is going to take the three, look at the hand in the
57:04stomach.
57:05That seems to be the way a lot of teams are playing Jokic.
57:08They get one hand up and the other hand is kind of pushing the chest or the belly.
57:13He's not saying nothing.
57:15No.
57:16He said last night, right Katie?
57:18He said he wasn't going to try to get off the officials, not talk as much.
57:23He didn't say he wouldn't go stop staring.
57:25That's actually something that he told me about when I interviewed him pre-All-Star.
57:29He was saying that I asked him where are some areas that you still would like to improve.
57:32And he said he wanted to be a better leader, a better teammate.
57:35But he also said I'm trying to control what I can control.
57:37And that's not having those types of conversations with officials.
57:40But sometimes frustration gets the best of you in these situations.
57:43And I do think those conversations can be helpful between player and official when done the right way.
57:48Well, I've noticed you've stopped talking to Chris at dinner time.
57:52So am I now officially an official?
57:54If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.
57:57Final seven seconds.
57:58Murray's got it.
57:59Final four seconds.
58:01Hardaway lets it go.
58:02No.
58:03Short.
58:04And final heave.
58:06No.
58:07And that is the end of the first half.
58:10We are tied up at 60.
58:12The big man for the Denver Nuggets, Christian Brown, 18.
58:16First half.
58:18Points.
58:19All right.
58:20When we come back, stick around for the first bank halftime report.
58:23Dick Lombardi, Christian Brown.
