00:02career against
00:05Nearly 26 a game which is actually lower than all but two teams, so he's making up for it tonight
00:12He's making up for it. He's you know he's generally reasons for certain
00:18numbers that are
00:19different from what the norms are for him or any player for that matter, you know BAM was Eastern Conference
00:25player of the week
00:27same week
00:29Luca was special conference player of the week, so they got to share that honor the same seven days
00:36Looks like the heat are in a zone
00:40LeBron kicks it corner quickly
00:43Open he doesn't make a mistake
00:46Assists to LeBron Austin knocks down his first from long distance in five attempts
00:53Lee grows to five which means he's now
00:55move past
00:56He's got
00:58alone
01:00Like a three-pointers old Luca hold you see that BAM was riding the body it was a saddle
01:06Yeah, BAM's laughing about it, but Lucas not happy about it. How about that look ahead?
01:12He's got 240 pounds on his back
01:16Look said, hey
01:18240 you've never been good at guessing weight
01:21Well, how much is BAM way? I don't do 60 to 60 got to say he's not 260
01:27Yeah, we're not gonna send you to the car and we do that already everybody knew that yeah
01:34Take it now by DeAndre
01:3638
01:38Bring it up itself mr. Momentum has really shifted hasn't yeah
01:438477 from not having the lead at all if you're owning a seven-point advantage
01:47They double-team Luca LeBron keeps control of it now
01:51Into the bench which means we will shoot three three of them. Yeah
02:00By the way, nobody has challenged tonight
02:06By the way doing that last time out I got a call from one of your friends then when you
02:11grew up
02:11Yeah, when they say no you they correct they correct your number. They corrected me. They said yeah
02:16They said you did have chain it's only difference was your chains were gold
02:26Hush quiet
02:29Jurassic Park how about this right now from California Community Colleges
02:35Start your future at a California Community College enroll today and apply for financial aid at I can go to
02:40college calm
02:43Mark is at the line for
02:45Two more free throws. He made the first two one more. He could put the Lakers up by 10
02:5110
02:52It is turned on its head here tonight
02:55That's mr. Little momentum. Yeah, he's not very loyal
02:59I mean, he will switch on you in a moment. What a 180
03:03He goes with the team that he feels is working the hardest
03:08Lakers searching for their eighth win in a row would be a season high
03:1527 to 12 if the third quarter so last night the third quarter was a disaster
03:21This night, it's completely different
03:28Does not go back in again LeBron with the rebound means he has fifteen point six rebounds and seven assists
03:37piling up the numbers
03:39Look at Norma Powell reaching in
03:43And they can't call this a swing through they just can't
03:48This was in the act
03:50Because when you're we have the ball down low and in order to see that's you know, the acts of
03:56shooting
03:56He's looking to swing reach reach. What is he thinking?
04:00You know that you know you reach they teach 8-0 Laker one
04:07See if Luka can make some free throws now if you'll your day at extra mile fresh food caffeine cold
04:14drinks grab it and go
04:16extra mile and select
04:17Chevron stations
04:25Look ahead the friendly roll on the first one
04:29Got 33 points 12 of those 33 here in the third but still five minutes
04:34Take look Saturday. We're in Orlando. We'll have the game for you on spectrum Sportsnet. Then we'll be in Detroit
04:41and
04:42End in Indiana and Detroit boy
04:44What a blow to that team for at least a couple of weeks with Kate Cunningham going down with the
04:50collapse of loss
04:51That's just really unfortunate
04:54Kate Cunningham having really a great great season all NBA type season. Yes great season
05:01And of course Detroit still right at the top
05:07Luka
05:11But the free throw line
05:13Hey those all against a foul look out
05:16Boy everything going away going now
05:21Took a while to wake up
05:23Like literally wake up and again builds it really a typical of what happens when you get into a city
05:30of the way they did this morning
05:31They didn't get into five or so right
05:33It takes you about a half to just get just your sea legs going again
05:38That's why I wanted them to stay close first half and then play a lot better
05:42In the second listen during every time out you were taking a quick nap
05:47You're ready to go
05:48Where I got the air ball rebound third quarter. It's 31 to 12
05:54Kind of skip around Dodgers can't now between the legs
05:57Dockens hold his ground
05:59Javion Mitchell
06:07But it goes right into the hands of LeBron James
06:12Could it be a triple-double tonight?
06:14He's holding in on one. He's 15 7 and 7 his return to Miami
06:22Back to the basket
06:26Yeah, it had been a head breath to LeBron
06:28I think those and this portion that he is goes over and ask if he's okay as he makes you
06:35drop step
06:36You see that right arm just come from way away from the body
06:38One of the easiest calls the officials have had in this game
06:43So often players will get away with it
06:50But the defenders get around go to a hoop
06:55Mitchell
06:55I
06:58Get on the baseline was here. Are you going to go to the side of the board?
07:04He's not where they want him to shoot only 30% for three at home this year is come out
07:10where?
07:12Trying to get it to LeBron to try to force it that time was really turn over number 11
07:17One two year old steps will score
07:2590 79
07:30Dodgers
07:31Porter LeBron attacking
07:33Oh
07:35The lob in the jam
07:37Well, you can see that one coming for a mile away
07:41Jackson Hayes loving it for he's been in the battle with eight all year long for post dumps for this
07:48Lakers squad
07:54He's a guy that can heat up for the heat
07:57His season high is 33 for he's had a rib injury a toe injury a foot injury a quad injury
08:03do I need to keep going?
08:04No, okay. He can hurt. Yeah
08:07All of that this year
08:10Dodgers
08:12Corner the key will let it fly was a close
08:1610-point game 240 to play good quarter action in Miami hero
08:22Right-hand side once again, we're gonna try it from outside that time. It's Pella Larson the former Wildcat from
08:30U of A
08:31Again, I may hockey is junior in the Andrew Wiggins not playing tonight timeout
08:36And JJ takes the timeout 224 to play here in the third the Lakers have owned the third quarter and
08:43LeBron
08:44setting up Jackson Hayes for the
08:47finish
08:47He knows how to finish
08:5092 82 Lakers
08:56Our game summary
08:58two games in a row
09:00Great action by LBJ back. He's missed one shot two games
09:05Bam Adebayo
09:06He's been the star of this team made a lot of noise the last couple of weeks and
09:12right back at
09:14Where he is every night stew and the Lakers right back at where they have been every night
09:21In the lead here in the second half, but let's see what they do out of this timeout with
09:26a ten-point lead
09:28You know one word that has come up here often in the last week or so is fun
09:34This Laker team enjoyed the game and doing play basketball with each other playing it the right way
09:41And win it games that cures everything we all know that here's gotcha
09:45Couple of big steps at the baseline nothing but that a little chub shot for Luca
09:51And he'll trot back the other way 37 for Luca
10:06Luca by the way 16 in the quarter
10:11This would be Lucas 30 at 40 point game if he does indeed get three more points
10:18Get it 45 to go in the quarter. You get three on this but that he could
10:23He's eyeing it. He's gonna look at for a step back
10:25Instead they doubled him up. That's a kick save and a beauty. Yeah, but it gives the Lakers an extra
10:3110 12 seconds
10:33down to two and
10:35Then the kickball another look at Luke coming off the brush screen and going all the way to the paint
10:40throw it up softly
10:42first 37th point
10:44canard
10:46Now Dodgers
10:47tend to shoot
10:48Luka can't dominating
10:52It's into Jackson. He might a little shoot that jacks
10:55It's still about he got back
10:59He was six feet away from the hoop
11:02Not the poor towel doing a dance really not taking any of the bait
11:07They move it all the way
11:09They knock it away from
11:11Good reach around by Lucas, right
11:15That is short in your dribble guys bounce try to force. That's another kick
11:23We're playing a little football a little soccer
11:29Ten-point game still just over a minute here in the third like it's trying to win their 45th game
11:35of the season
11:37How do you give that guy that much airspace?
11:41What do we say there's 40?
11:44And how many is that this year that's 13 40 point games and then the Lakers let him score the
11:50other end?
11:56He's going to defend the mentality of some of the players in this league that
12:00Know who you're playing against?
12:03Rui
12:03Boy, he went up against we're going darn well. He's a great shot blocker after the bounce pass from canard
12:11Maybe gets hit the face little Arabia is going to pick up the foul
12:189786 Lakers all of a sudden shooting 53% 42% from three and 82% from the free throw
12:26line
12:27Everything trending up
12:31Point to the paint they're down 12 second chance points. Good side. They're up three fast break points. They're down
12:38seven
12:44Where's got it and he scores
12:4822 double doubles is here for him again ninth in rebounds
12:52Nineteens in block shots in the NBA this year
12:55He's got a big guy like that. He's got some nice soft feet. He does. He's not a plotter
13:01Started 68 games come off the bench at sixty one of them
13:06His career and at the buzzer
13:10Quarters over
13:11Oh by the Lakers. Oh
13:15Well, they got 12 more minutes to own it as they outscored Miami in that third quarter 38 23
13:22See what they do here in the fourth
13:30Basketball is being brought to you by Jack in the box the hot mess is back as a monkey meal
13:39for Jack's 75th anniversary
13:43Well, Miami was a hot mess in that third quarter
13:46Lakers beat up 38 23 look at that allow 42 still in the first event a pair of 23s at
13:52the second and they're going to in the first and
13:5446 in the second and third combined
13:57All right
13:58Lake show fans. Here we go fourth and final quarter trying to get yet another win
14:04It would be there 20 second on the road. This will travel there
14:10The floor with three
14:17Before they tied that one perfectly
14:20Good ball movement that time by the heat makes it a six-point game so it can't relax
14:28Six it double figures for Miami six for the Lakers. How about this two two players at double figures?
14:35Yes, they have the lead by six points
14:39So it's balanced versus stars Lakers up against the clock now
14:46Air ball. Yeah, okay. He's almost trying to lob it for somebody the little to drop. Yeah
14:53I only hit from right there a moment ago. Well, but my Jack's the power gets it right back
14:58Fortunate for him thrown up the fist by Smith. Here comes LeBron LeBron all the way
15:07To try to get to the bucket
15:12Please strip there Powell underneath where's there?
15:15He reverses it can't hit Lakers have numbers if they hurry bounce pass to Hayes. Well, he was looking at
15:22LaRavia fumbled it now
15:23It's we here he goes twist turns and we got a player down and we have a whistle blocking file
15:30At least that's what they're calling
15:35Another look at LeBron out in transition
15:39Norman Powell comes over and
15:41He's got a lot of basketball there so much so that the official says no call
15:47The Reeves gets it. He goes to the rim and runs over a player and they call the block
15:53the two free throws to Austin
15:59Medicine did Austin trying to draw the charge. How about this right now from Carl's
16:04jr.
16:06Yeah, for a limited time by one Carl's jr. Famous star single get a second for this one by
16:14Austin one out of two
16:17No, no shot. No shot
16:22In a nap in
16:26Yaka Jonas and with Luca on the bench for his rest which is normal for a start of the fourth
16:34It's going to be LeBron's going to have to get to be a little bit more aggressive offensively
16:40He's been really efficient tonight seven out of seven
16:47This is the only back-to-back on the trip
16:50Parece
16:51We hold that
16:55kabel
16:56here
16:56Down down with two
16:59The well where
17:02Down to five
17:05Where who average is 11
17:08All night has 14 and has a double double 14 and 10
17:16I just with control of it. Here's Reed trying to sneak behind the defense, kind of it goes. Yes, it
17:22does!
17:23Rolls around and drops to the bottom of the well.
17:26Not very many players in the league as good as Austin Reeves that hearing the whistle and getting that shot
17:32up like that.
17:33He feels contact. He kind of senses that the whistle is going to sound.
17:38And he's already in the active shooting, so he's got a three-point opportunity.
17:43Reeves has played the most minutes of any Laker here in the month of March.
17:49As we're nearing the end of it.
17:54Two misses in a row though for Austin. Very unusually.
17:58Yeah, an 87% around the year.
18:01Powell trying to drive through Kennard. The pass does get to wear.
18:07That's not the shot they want him taking. Jake.
18:10And caught the cookie jar. Bam, now it went down.
18:14Not bam out of bile, but bam, he went down to the floor.
18:22That is five fouls on Jake. So he is one away from bye-bye elimination.
18:29Still has one to give. I like the way. Optimistic. Always glasses half full with stew.
18:35They give you six for a reason.
18:38You take them with you.
18:41193. Again, thanks for joining us tonight on Spectrum Sportsnet in the app.
18:45We'll be with you for the rest of the road trip.
18:48Oh, and he's got three free throws forthcoming.
18:53Fouls on Marcus.
18:54He'll make it a four-point game if he's successful on all three.
18:57Norman is an 82-percenter on the year.
19:00Career high this year in points, assists, and steals.
19:04Remember, he missed the November 2nd game in Los Angeles.
19:09He had missed a bunch of games in a row with a groin injury.
19:11That's why he's been eased back into the lineup and wasn't in the starting lineup.
19:22He played some good basketball for the Clippers.
19:29He'll get a couple of more.
19:32Fourth on the team in starts.
19:34An NBA champion, Norman Powell, when he played for Toronto back in 2019.
19:44Knocked down his 13th point.
19:46One more free throw to come.
19:50And their bench is the fourth highest scoring bench in the NBA.
19:54And Powell qualifies for that tonight.
19:58They have 34 from their bench.
20:00He can add another point to that.
20:03With nine-something still to play.
20:08And it's a team, like I mentioned, they average 120 points in their fourth in defensive rating.
20:14It's a great winning combination.
20:16But the Lakers are up by four after battling back.
20:19Being down by 15 if you join the slate.
20:23LeBron, Reeves, on the weave out on top.
20:27Trying to find the open man in Marcus Smart.
20:30With four.
20:31With three.
20:32He's gonna fire it up.
20:33That's tough.
20:34Oh!
20:35Goes in!
20:36Use the window.
20:37Soften the shot some.
20:40This is trouble.
20:44Beautifully enough.
20:46Out of Iowa's short.
20:47LeBron went to get it.
20:49You ask, what are LeBron's numbers?
20:51How about 15 points?
20:53Nine rebounds.
20:54Nine assists.
20:57One in each of those columns.
20:58And he's got a triple-double tonight.
21:01On the tail end of a back-to-back where he has missed one shot.
21:07Three.
21:08Twenty-one attempts.
21:10They're not on shoot off.
21:12And he did it!
21:13And he did it!
21:13They lost track of time.
21:14Yep, he did not get it off in time.
21:17He fall!
21:19Last time the Lakers had possession of the ball.
21:24Marcus Smart makes that runner off the window.
21:27And then ask the official.
21:28Williamson Wilson!
21:30This is right here.
21:32I've got it.
21:32I'm just not going to blow it for you.
21:37The chant is Let's Go Heat!
21:40And the band's got the basketball.
21:42With De'Andre in front of him.
21:44Sharing time tonight with Jackson Hayes.
21:46Put up and in!
21:48Nice left-hand shot.
21:49Real nice.
21:50I was going to say, Aiton and Jackson Hayes each with 20 minutes.
21:55On the evening.
21:56So, uh, sharing it equally up to this juncture.
22:00Weaving in.
22:01Weaves!
22:01That is fresh from the outside.
22:05Timely, timely.
22:08They are with a big bucket.
22:11Back to seven.
22:13This one is off the window.
22:15Bam thought he had the whistle, did not.
22:17LeBron, here he goes!
22:18And he draws the foul.
22:21Boy, he had momentum.
22:22That's that train coming down the track, isn't it?
22:24The last basket by the Lakers.
22:26To Austin Reed's at the top of the circle screen by Aiton.
22:29And just pull up.
22:30And nothing that brought him.
22:32That was a timely three-pointer.
22:34Now LeBron would have a chance to add two more.
22:37See if he can push this lead back to eight.
22:40I might recall a couple of moments ago,
22:42it said the Lakers only had two and double figures.
22:44All of a sudden they've got four of the five starters in double digits.
22:48The only one does not.
22:53J.J. takes a little bit of a stroll.
22:55Ron missed that free.
22:57That's the only thing he's missed tonight.
23:10A place he used to call home.
23:12Miami.
23:13Knocks down that second free throw.
23:15And Stewart is an eight point game.
23:17He's gonna, again rely on your defense.
23:20Start to tighten the defensive screws again.
23:23All the power eyes the defense.
23:26Out of Iowa's gonna get aggressive.
23:28Trying to charge towards the rim.
23:29And he hits the baseline jump shot.
23:32Touching with his 27th point.
23:34Yeah, he's shooting over 50% tonight.
23:37Shot eight free throws, 27.
23:39Impressive night for him.
23:42Dodgers.
23:43Count if it goes.
23:44And it's not gonna even get to the rim.
23:47But more free throws for Luka.
23:49Nobody has shot more free throws this year in the NBA than that guy right there.
23:55Nobody has shot more free throws tonight than that guy.
23:58He's seven out of nine with two more to come.
24:02Talking about that per game average.
24:04Hey, vote for your favorite nonprofit to win the $7,500 Laker Youth Foundation's U Grant.
24:11Go to Lakers.com today to read about the finalists and you can cast your vote.
24:15You can only vote once.
24:16So like Indiana Jones once did, you choose wisely.
24:20Lakers Youth Foundation, the official team charity of the LA Lakers.
24:28How many players are you going to let that he play with here?
24:30Oh, there.
24:31There goes we are.
24:31Will he change the rules?
24:33Yeah, they had six outs.
24:34Get here right on the phone to call Adam again.
24:36You know, I have that speed dial with Adam Silver.
24:39Speed dial.
24:46Dodge it.
24:49Speed dial.
24:51Speed dial.
24:54Speed dial.
24:54You got a rotary?
24:55I do not anymore.
24:57That was years ago.
24:58Underneath.
25:02Shot up and comes up short.
25:05Didn't he travel when he caught the ball?
25:06I would love to see another look at that when Adebayo caught the ball.
25:11Seemed like he shuffled both feet before he released the ball out of his hands.
25:19And on the second fight, maybe he was illegal.
25:22But he'll be going to the free throw line, that's for sure, when we come back.
25:26Because there's a timeout with 6.55 left to play.
25:30Miami tonight.
25:32The Lakers have fought back.
25:33And they're up by eight and another huge night for that kid from Akron.
25:40LeBron James.
25:42Yeah, that young man's last couple of nights has really looked like that young man.
25:48Boy, last night he had 30 on 13 out of 14 from the field.
25:51Played 34 minutes.
25:53Tonight, he's played 31 minutes.
25:55Hasn't missed a shot.
25:5716 points, so he's 20 out of 21 in his last two games.
26:02And he is this close to a triple-double.
26:08All right, Bam's at the free throw line.
26:11Still all sorts of time left in this one, just under seven minutes.
26:19Wondering if down the stretch now they will start to send that secondary guy to get the ball out of
26:25Bam's hands.
26:27Still a lot of time left here as long as they can continue to
26:31.
26:34Bam misses one of two.
26:36That's the 11th rebound for LeBron.
26:39He needs one more assist for his triple-double.
26:46He's had some nice games returning to Miami as an L.A. Lakers.
26:52Got it.
26:53Three-pointer.
26:55Rebound out of Iowa.
26:57He's gonna take it himself.
26:59Oh!
26:59That's pretty good luck.
27:00Larson.
27:01Oh!
27:01Chase down!
27:02Block out of bounds by Aton.
27:05Let's play not give up on a play.
27:07He was never the primary defender in front, but he kept running.
27:11Jumps from behind and swats it out of bounds.
27:20The Lakers are taking a timeout.
27:22They're wondering if it was Larson who touched it last.
27:24And I'm wondering if they're gonna call a foul after he blocked the shot.
27:28He hits the arm of Larson.
27:30So we'll see what comes up after this timeout and after this review with the Lakers up.
27:37108.
27:37101.
27:42Come on.
27:42It's Saturday.
27:43Lakers magic.
27:45Early game.
27:454 o'clock.
27:46Pregame at 3.
27:47Same time against the Pistons and Pacers.
27:50Before we return home to face Brooklyn, the Wizards, and then Cleveland.
27:56That'll be an interesting game.
27:57The third game of the home stand.
27:59And we are nearing the end of the regular season.
28:04It's a little over three weeks to go.
28:07And the refs still.
28:08You're thinking of three weeks.
28:09It's taking them three weeks to review this.
28:12I like it.
28:12I like it.
28:13By the way, our traveling crew, Evan, Russ, Ben, Mark, Anthony.
28:18Can I say you again, Russ?
28:20All right.
28:20And our great local crew here, which we love seeing.
28:23And they work so hard in Miami.
28:31They are still looking at this play.
28:34Maybe they're looking to see if they should change the call to a foul on Hayden.
28:40Because that angle did look like he got some of the wrist.
28:46So that could backfire.
28:48Let's see what they say.
28:49Now they're about ready to render their verdict.
28:52All rise.
29:02After review, although the defensive player did touch the ball, the ball was still in the hand of the offensive
29:08player.
29:09The ruling on the floor has been overturned to a defensive foul, since the offensive player still had control of
29:16the ball when the contact occurred.
29:18It is an unsuccessful challenge.
29:20Los Angeles will be charged a timeout.
29:22They have no challenges remaining.
29:23They will resume with two free throws for number nine.
29:26Stu, you said you're going to give up for good.
29:29And you got that.
29:30You nailed that one.
29:31That's exactly what happened.
29:32Yeah, that was my bad.
29:33It's going against my own thing.
29:34I should have killed it.
29:35Your own better judgment.
29:36Yeah.
29:37But it just looked like that Aiden got him on the arm.
29:41Not the hand, but more the wrist or forearm area.
29:45So it'll be two free throws coming.
29:49With 627 to play in the court.
29:54So this game is trying to do a stop here.
29:59We've lost all the flow now in the last five minutes.
30:03That's what happens with the long reviews.
30:06It's going to take it a while to get restarted, too.
30:11Players probably aren't arguing.
30:12We'll get a nice rest.
30:16All right, here we go is right.
30:21Pella Larson.
30:23One year at Utah before he went to Zona.
30:25Had 17 points against the Lakers back in November.
30:29He's had bumps in all the major categories in the second season of his.
30:34In fact, his points per game has doubled from last year.
30:38So he's becoming a bona fide go-to guy.
30:43Look out for him down the stretch, too, as he misses that free throw.
30:46Last seven games, too.
30:48He's shooting 47% from three.
30:51So they'll look to him down the stretch.
30:54They are not quite the clutch team that the Lakers are.
30:57They're right around to 500.
30:59A little over 500.
31:00Come crunch time in the final five minutes.
31:02Luca!
31:03The whistle sounds.
31:05More free throws.
31:07Well, you can always tell who the guilty parties are.
31:09They're the guys that have their palms facing upward.
31:13Like an emoji?
31:15Like, who, me?
31:17Yeah.
31:18What did I do?
31:20So Luca goes to the line to shoot two.
31:22He's nine out of 11 from the charity strike.
31:32Takes his time and knocks it down.
31:34Well, he's got 10 seconds.
31:37Take his time.
31:38Took this about all of it.
31:4043 tonight.
31:4210 out of 12 from the line.
31:43So he's back to shooting a heavy load of free throws.
31:518th year in the league.
31:54Still just 27 years of age.
31:57Short.
32:00So both teams split a pair from the line.
32:03Larson trying to get right around LeBron.
32:06Out of bio.
32:09Hero.
32:09Jacks up on Dodgers instead.
32:12It's over to Mitchell.
32:13He launches it and rebound LeBron.
32:18LeBron's leading all players in that category.
32:22He's got 13.
32:2313 boards.
32:25Fly by.
32:26Here it comes.
32:27All the way to the rim.
32:29He was, uh, he had thoughts of slamming that.
32:34They were dispelled kind of quickly when he got towards the rim.
32:38Sometimes you gotta go in there for a real reason.
32:42Can't be too cute all the time.
32:44It's fake the shot.
32:45Take it to the rim and.
32:46Get fouled.
32:51Austin.
32:53He's missed three free throws tonight.
32:56Three out of six.
32:57And that is very unlike him.
33:03They could try to maintain.
33:04You talk about a competitor.
33:05There's a competitor right there.
33:07That guy competes for.
33:10In everything.
33:11I mean.
33:11And I remember when he came and he thought he was good.
33:14Stu.
33:14His admiration for him is just grown.
33:17Yeah.
33:17I mean.
33:18He's working.
33:19I like the way that he's really working on his defense.
33:23I mean.
33:23He really puts in the effort.
33:27Hero.
33:27It's a big three.
33:30Six point game.
33:32Two possession.
33:33And we're nearing that crunch time.
33:37Lakers are right at the top of the NBA when it comes to the final five minutes.
33:41And it's five points or less.
33:45Luca.
33:45This is interesting.
33:47They're good.
33:48They have a challenge.
33:49And they had.
33:49Look like Aiden was the guy that put Larson on the floor.
33:53So.
33:53Yeah.
33:53They do have a challenge.
33:55Lakers are done.
33:56They're out of them.
33:57They've got to hurry up and make up their mind.
34:00And there it is.
34:01They're going to review it.
34:07Coach Spolster who started in the video room.
34:11And of course is.
34:13The head guy for quite a long time.
34:16They've got three championship banners.
34:18The ruling on the floor is a defensive foul.
34:20Miami is challenging the ruling and this player is now in the review.
34:22They got six jerseys retired up there.
34:25Including.
34:26Shaq.
34:28Right in the middle of the.
34:30Banners hanging.
34:32The look at what they're.
34:34Looking at.
34:37I think he ran into Aiden.
34:40I don't think Aiden did anything.
34:43Other than maybe an illegal screen.
34:45I think he was still moving.
34:48You just never know how the officials are going to see things.
34:52It's not really sure what's up.
34:54Luke is looking at the.
34:55The big scoreboard.
34:57See what he thinks about the play.
35:03Here's the story.
35:04This is the importance of the game.
35:06For the purple and gold.
35:08Trying to stay ahead of the Timberwolves.
35:10The Rockets.
35:11And the Nuggets.
35:12The scramble continues though.
35:14You know.
35:14Of those teams.
35:16Three through seven.
35:16The Lakers only have one game.
35:18Against.
35:19That group.
35:20And it will be the Suns.
35:22Mentioned it last night.
35:24Second to last game of the season.
35:25They don't see the Wolves Rockets or Nuggets.
35:28Anymore.
35:28They just won the last two this week.
35:30Against Houston.
35:31So they all.
35:32They hold the tiebreaker there.
35:34That was big.
35:35During that season series.
35:38In the last few minutes.
35:39With these two reviews.
35:40This game has come to a complete halt.
35:43Yeah.
35:43Big time stop.
35:51They said the players probably don't mind it.
35:53Unless it drags on too long.
35:55Of course.
35:56And this crowd.
35:58Kind of napping themselves.
36:00Sellout crowd.
36:00Is one of the big nights of the year.
36:03Down the media room.
36:05That's new.
36:05They had a carving station.
36:06They asked what's up.
36:07They said the Lakers are here.
36:10And they're right.
36:11The Lakers are the premier attraction.
36:15Yeah.
36:19Now Luka's going to go over it.
36:21After a review.
36:22Ain't no way.
36:23The offensive player number five.
36:24Moves into the space.
36:26Of the defensive player.
36:27The ruling on the floor has been overturned.
36:30To an offensive five.
36:32Yeah.
36:32Number five.
36:33Luka went over.
36:33It is a successful challenge.
36:35Miami will retain their time out.
36:37And they will have.
36:38One more challenge.
36:39Did we hear ain't no way.
36:41I think it was something like that.
36:43Well when we.
36:43We're looking at the replay.
36:46You could see that he was moving a little.
36:50See why they.
36:52Called that one.
36:53That's.
36:54Going to be a turnover.
36:56Miami gets the ball with five ten left.
36:59And only down by six.
37:03Ball belongs to the Miami Heat.
37:05Coming up on five minutes.
37:09Another boy without a ton of whistles.
37:11This fourth quarter is all about whistles.
37:16Out of fouls.
37:18So.
37:18Whether in the act or not.
37:21Going to the line to shoot two.
37:23They call Marcus Smart.
37:24For the foul.
37:28Lakers 52% tonight.
37:3049% for the opposition.
37:33Powell it's a free throw.
37:36The Lakers have shot a ton more free throws tonight.
37:39This was a trend.
37:41That was really working for them.
37:43Early in the year.
37:44Remember the first couple of months.
37:45They were.
37:46Outstanding.
37:47And just.
37:49Position.
37:50Free throw.
37:51Norman Powell makes two.
37:53He's five for five.
37:54From the free throw line.
37:55In the game.
37:56And off the bench.
37:57Fifteen.
37:58Six players.
37:59And double figures for them.
38:02Four for the Lakers.
38:03Fans.
38:04We've entered the final five minutes of the game.
38:06Brought you by Lillette.
38:07To consider resort and spa.
38:10They called the foul.
38:12LeBron shot it.
38:13It didn't hit anything.
38:14And the whistle didn't sound.
38:16So after he almost retrieved it.
38:18He was ready to shoot it again.
38:19That would have been.
38:20Traveling.
38:21You cannot rebound your own air ball.
38:25But he'll be at the line to shoot to.
38:31He's down number 15 for LeBron.
38:35Still in search of that assist.
38:37How about searching for points right now.
38:38This is big and he knows it.
38:41Every point precious.
38:44111-107.
38:48They used to love him.
38:50Now they make a noise.
38:51Trying to make a miss.
38:53112-107.
38:54Here we go.
38:55450.
38:56Plot 200.
38:58And the attack at 47 is Mitchell.
39:02And they switch big little again.
39:03They got Luca on Bam.
39:06Oh.
39:06Loses it.
39:07Take it by the Lakers.
39:08Good defense.
39:09Here they come.
39:10Four on five.
39:11It's smart.
39:12Little tardy coming back down to the offensive end.
39:15And Luca.
39:16The spin and the score.
39:18The Don.
39:20And a 45 for Luca.
39:24Trying to go for 50.
39:26He's done it once this year.
39:28Spitz off.
39:29Wanted to see where he was.
39:30And he wanted three.
39:31And he got three.
39:35That's a big hoop.
39:37That's a real big hoop.
39:38Splashes from the outside.
39:40They've got 11 threes.
39:42Lakers with a dozen.
39:44Four point game.
39:46Slowly right on.
39:47On the logo.
39:48Donchage.
39:49Will orchestrate this possession.
39:52Goes around.
39:52Power.
39:53Leaves in.
39:53Yeah!
39:54Count it!
39:55And one!
40:02Luka.
40:03Luka.
40:03Luka.
40:04Luka.
40:05Luka.
40:05A couple of trips down.
40:06It's been all Luka.
40:08They strip Norman Powell.
40:09Luka takes it off to Drew.
40:12Works his way inside.
40:14And get through.
40:15His version of the teardrop.
40:17And then the next possession.
40:18Norman Powell reaching in.
40:20Couple of times.
40:21Gets called for the foul.
40:22A three point opportunity coming.
40:24To Luka.
40:25Just think about these.
40:26Back to back nights.
40:28Last night he was 40, 10 and 9.
40:31And tonight he's 47.
40:33Make it 48.
40:346 and 3.
40:35A 48.
40:35Yeah, you're right.
40:3648.
40:3648.
40:37Let me say it again.
40:386 and 3.
40:39Marcus Smart.
40:40Defense.
40:41Offense.
40:42LeBron.
40:43Can't score.
40:44Underneath Luka.
40:46Yes!
40:47A nickel.
40:48A nickel.
40:4950.
40:51Luka had put up 40 last night.
40:53Then a nickel tonight.
40:58Wow.
41:01And the Lakers up their lead to 9.
41:03But still a lot of game left.
41:053 minutes and 40 seconds.
41:09After the steal.
41:10After the steal.
41:11Yeah, Marcus Smart.
41:12Slaps it out of Larson's hands.
41:14And LeBron takes it to the rim.
41:16Misses.
41:17But there's Luka to offensive rebound.
41:20And pirouette.
41:21It's almost like a second thought.
41:23But the play had almost stopped.
41:25Luka's like, oh, okay.
41:25I'm here.
41:26I might as well.
41:27Yeah, you're right.
41:28You gotta.
41:29Start this whole thing with Marcus.
41:32Obviously.
41:33Absolutely.
41:34Put everything in motion.
41:35Absolutely.
41:38That's the mindset that he brings to this team.
41:41You know, he really.
41:42Puts them in that defensive mindset.
41:50That's shooting very well.
41:5116 out of 28.
41:53To get your 50.
41:55Yeah.
41:55That's pretty efficient.
41:58Yeah.
41:59Of course the free throws.
42:00Big time help.
42:02But he's doing it.
42:03Making it look easy.
42:05As he has his own inimitable way of doing.
42:10Second 50 plus with the Lakers.
42:13First full season in the purple and gold.
42:17After that shocking trade.
42:20Last season.
42:23It has Laker fans rejoicing.
42:25Every day.
42:30All right.
42:30You mentioned it.
42:31Stewart's packed up to nine.
42:33Three and a half ago.
42:38He goes all the way.
42:39Lakers just didn't want to commit a foul.
42:41That time.
42:41They opened the door a little bit and let him in.
42:45And he entered.
42:46Yes, he did.
42:47And scored.
42:50Norman Powell with 18 in the game.
42:54Luka.
42:55Going to get a pick from LeBron until LeBron slides by.
42:59Now Luka still with the dribble.
43:01He's owning the possession.
43:03Dodgers.
43:04Still with it.
43:05Here's LeBron.
43:06LeBron.
43:07Down the middle he goes.
43:08All the way.
43:09Can't score.
43:10And there's some contact underneath.
43:13It'll be out of bounds Miami.
43:19Ninth career 50 for Luka.
43:22Ninth in his career.
43:27Kyler.
43:28Here I'll keep it a minute.
43:31This one you thought it might be safe to.
43:35Give him the water.
43:36Give him the water.
43:36Yeah.
43:38We're going to chub out.
43:39You never know when the big shark is lurking.
43:43Dodgers.
43:45The damn out of bio in front end.
43:48Superstars.
43:48Reached Dan again.
43:51Boy are they reaching on him a lot.
43:54That's bonus time.
43:55That's free throws.
43:56More free throws.
43:58Bam reached in and just about caught him on the chin.
44:02Reach reach.
44:04Back in the neck.
44:06Bam knows about free throws.
44:08He shot an NBA record amount when he dropped.
44:12The monster game.
44:1343 free throws.
44:192-25 left to play.
44:21Luka knocks down the first of two.
44:261-21-14.
44:3051 points.
44:42We're in Miami and they're chanting MVP for Luka.
44:47Very audible.
44:49Very audible.
44:50Shows you the hero.
44:52Got it!
44:53That's not a good foul.
44:56In no way shape or form.
44:58He's going to make it a four point game.
45:03It's tempting when a right hander is dribbling to his left.
45:08To shoot the ball.
45:09He exposes it for a brief moment.
45:11You want to reach in.
45:12And Tyler Hero gets the foul.
45:15Called in his favor.
45:16And a three point opportunity.
45:2217 points for Tyler.
45:25Hero's got the free throw.
45:27Stu mentioned at four point game.
45:292-17 to play.
45:32Line it down to the two minute warning.
45:36Dojic.
45:38Finds LeBron.
45:40James holding on to it.
45:42Luka.
45:42If he makes it, it's a triple-double.
45:44It's a triple-double for LeBron.
45:47And Luka's got even more.
45:49The 124th career triple-double for the Kings.
45:53Lucas got 55.
45:55But they allow a basket at the other end.
45:58A double nickel for Luka.
46:0155.
46:02Under two minutes left.
46:03But it's 25.
46:04Still.
46:05A five point game.
46:06And LeBron 17, 15, and 10.
46:0955 for Dojic.
46:12What a night.
46:14LeBron all the way.
46:16Scores!
46:17Had very little room.
46:20Found away.
46:23Seven point game.
46:24Minute and a half.
46:25Looking for the eighth win in a row are the Lakers.
46:27Now searching for the rebound.
46:31All the way.
46:32Powell scores.
46:33He's given up to me.
46:35Concessions though.
46:37Kind of level him off a little better than they've leveled off Powell on his last two trips.
46:42Luka 12 in the first.
46:43Nine in the second.
46:4519 in the third.
46:46And 15 here in the fourth.
46:50Austin's got it.
46:51Right back to the man who owns a 55.
46:55Beside his name.
46:57Dodged it.
46:57Again!
46:59Again!
47:00That is Luka magic!
47:07Hero!
47:08And the Lakers.
47:09Right back!
47:09Uh oh!
47:09Look out!
47:10Look out!
47:11David Mitchell just ran over Luka.
47:13Which means Luka's going back to the free throw line.
47:15Yes he is.
47:16He's gonna get 60.
47:17That's a dead ball foul.
47:20So there'll be a free throw for Luka plus possession of the ball.
47:25And we're under a minute.
47:27But the last couple of baskets, boy.
47:30This is the pass from LeBron who gave him the triple-double.
47:34And that triple from the field by Luka and LeBron with his left going to the rim.
47:41And then this shot here is just ridiculous.
47:45Draped all over him.
47:46With Davion Mitchell.
47:52This will be 59 for Luka.
48:00It's his third highest scoring game in his career.
48:04If you ever want to use up clock, this is when you want to do it.
48:07There's only 55 seconds.
48:09He got a six point lead.
48:11You don't want to take a hurried shot unless it's something that's really seemingly easy.
48:17By the way, Luka's high is 73.
48:19He had 60 before.
48:21So he could equal that or pass it here in the final minute.
48:25You said it, Stu.
48:27You got to be careful right here.
48:28It's a six point game killing clock.
48:30Which is their friend.
48:31Out of bounds it goes.
48:33You still have seven on the shot clock.
48:37Now you want to get into your action.
48:4418 out of 30 from the floor.
48:479 of 17 from three.
48:49Oh, they push Reeves.
48:52Powell pushes Reeves.
48:53Bad foul.
49:00And again, more free throws for the Lakers.
49:02This has been a march to the line.
49:04And Austin's coming to the ball.
49:06You see the contact reaching in and there's the contact that knocks Reeves off balance.
49:12This is about to be the 40th free throw attempt tonight for the purple and gold.
49:19They put up 130.
49:23And you see the disappointing night.
49:27Five for eight.
49:28He has made five at an 87 percent.
49:30They're reviewing this one too.
49:32I think they're challenging.
49:33Can't take it with them.
49:34They're challenging this play.
49:38Now we've witnessed 38 points in the second half.
49:42For Doncic.
49:4437.8 seconds left.
49:47The Lakers lead is six.
49:59The defensive foul.
50:01Miami is challenging the women's plays now in the review.
50:05ico corporations are pressing the man line and he fails to assume.
50:07Jaime pushed the women's plays in the virtual world.
50:08Hey, how many points do the man they lift?
50:25He's in.
50:26He's fighting another fugitive.
50:26Yeah, everyone.
50:56The verdict was given, and it doesn't go in favor of the heat.
51:00It's ruled a foul, so the call stands, defensive foul on Norman Powell.
51:09That'll send Austin Reeves to the free throw line to shoot two.
51:15Again, Saturday night in Orlando, 4 o'clock, start 3 o'clock pregame.
51:21That'll be on to Detroit in Indiana, and you're going to want to be at Crypto.com Arena
51:26when the Lakers come home for a three-game homestand.
51:30So just go, mark your calendars, go to Lakers ticket exchange, and get him.
51:34So he misses the free throw, Stu.
51:36Wow, just mark this down.
51:37This is something you probably won't see very often again.
51:40It's Austin missing with that.
51:42That's fourth missed free throw tonight.
51:48But now makes it a free possession game.
51:54Don't give up the long ball.
51:56Luka nearly fouled him, and out of bounds it goes.
51:59That's on Tyler Hero.
52:00Yeah, this game's over.
52:01This game is over.
52:02Yeah, absolutely right.
52:03Say goodnight.
52:04O-V-E-R.
52:05It's over.
52:06It's all over.
52:10As long as they get it in.
52:12They're going to foul.
52:13They better do it now.
52:14We didn't see Houston do that the other night.
52:16Doesn't look like they want to win.
52:18Open the game.
52:19They're not going to do that, are they?
52:20Timeout Lakers.
52:21They had a good timeout.
52:23Yeah, they had a trap.
52:24That's a good timeout by JJ.
52:26Very nice timeout.
52:29They had 15 on the 24, 22 on the game clock.
52:35What a night for Luka.
52:37What a night for Luka.
52:39His third highest scoring effort as a NBA, one of the NBA MVPs.
52:45I'm telling you, he's one of the most valuable players out there.
52:49He makes some of his shots that you just think,
52:52that's not going in.
52:53He looked up, and nothing but bottom.
52:56Stronger than, I said it many times,
52:58he's stronger than a lot of people think.
53:00And with his opposition, they haven't played against him before,
53:03and they say, oh, I can guard him until they get out there.
53:06And then they say, whoops, he's kind of good.
53:09I mean, he makes some tested shots.
53:11It just doesn't matter.
53:13Yeah.
53:14You know, use the term MVP.
53:16You know, he's never won it.
53:18But Bennett, big time consideration.
53:22Actually, think about what he means to this team,
53:24this year, and how successful the Lakers are right now.
53:2959 tonight.
53:30Third most in his career.
53:36On a back-to-back night, getting in late.
53:41Everybody was questionable coming in,
53:43but they all knew they wanted to play.
53:45Yeah, I mean, come on.
53:46They wanted to play.
53:49Got to keep it rolling, right?
53:50You never have anybody on the team be talking about,
53:55you know, back-to-back.
53:56We're tired.
53:58You just plant a negative seed.
53:59You want to just go out and get it done.
54:04Marcus killed a couple of seconds.
54:08So, Smart will come down.
54:11More free throws for the Lakers.
54:13This will be 42 and 43.
54:17Shot clock has been put to bed for the night.
54:22Miami's about to lose their 13th game at home
54:25and their 32nd of the year.
54:28And, again, they're just trying to survive
54:30and get out of the plane.
54:32That is their goal.
54:35You can have a couple of big games
54:36against Cleveland and Toronto
54:38in the last game of the year
54:39against Atlanta.
54:40It could be huge for them,
54:42but it's all about the Lakers right now.
54:44So, you are going to win two free tacos
54:45with any drink purchase from
54:47Jug in the Box
54:48and that'll take place tomorrow.
54:50Just ask for the Lakers' deal
54:51when you order.
54:53God only at LA area restaurants.
54:55Go Lakers!
54:56Go Jack!
55:00Again, we're feeding the masses, Stu.
55:02Yeah.
55:03Gotta love it.
55:04Eight games in a row.
55:05Gotta love it.
55:05The masses are really lovely.
55:07They are happy.
55:10This will be 11 out of the last 12.
55:12Oh, they fouled Luka.
55:14So, he's got a 60 marker.
55:16Yeah, he does.
55:17In fact, it could become
55:18the second best scoring game
55:23in his career.
55:26Again, 73-60 and this 59
55:30are his top three.
55:33And there's the chant
55:34we were talking about.
55:48He wants to keep the drama.
55:50That's all that is.
55:51He missed that one on purpose.
55:53All right, here we go.
55:54This is for 60.
55:58Look at him.
56:00Deep breath.
56:02He will equal his second highest scoring output
56:05with this free throw.
56:0860-6-0 for Luka Doncic.
56:1639 in the second half.
56:21Mitchell batted around with three,
56:23with two, with one.
56:25What a night.
56:26What a comeback.
56:27Lakers trailed by 15.
56:30And they were floundering.
56:32They were not playing well.
56:34And all of a sudden,
56:35everything changed.
56:36And they are congratulating
56:39the hero tonight.
56:40And there were a lot of heroes tonight.
56:42But that guy was special tonight.
56:44I mean, really, really special.
56:47Following up a 40-40 burger last night
56:51with a 60-60-102 game average.
56:56You do the math, Bill.
56:57That's 50 in the last two games.
57:01I mean, gee, LeBron had the triple-double.
57:04What a night for him.
57:07Lakers, though, buckled down on defense.
57:11But Luka is the man.
57:13The man tonight.
57:14By the way, LBJ had a season-high 15 rebounds, too.
57:18Can't let that go by the wayside.
57:21He's happy.
57:22Yeah, that's why I was saying
57:23there were a few heroes tonight.
57:24But one stood out a little bit more
57:27because of just that pure number of 60.
57:30Look at this situation now in the West.
57:35Two-game lead over the Wolves.
57:37Three over the Rockets and the Nuggets.
57:40And a full six over the Suns.
57:44And, of course, Mike is with number 77.
57:47Go ahead.
57:49All right, Luka.
57:5060 tonight, 40 last night.
57:52I imagine you got to your room
57:53at about 5 in the morning.
57:55How'd you do it?
57:56I don't know.
57:57I was tired.
57:58I was tired.
57:59But, you know, that shows the team.
58:01We kind of played bad in the first half.
58:04We struggled.
58:05But we came back.
58:06You know, this talks a lot about the team.
58:09It says a lot.
58:10So, a great win.
58:11Look, you've been in a rhythm for a couple of weeks now.
58:14But to get to 60 and only 30 field goal attempts,
58:16how have you gotten dialed in like this
58:18over the last couple of weeks?
58:20Yeah, I feel like my three ball is going well.
58:23And then I'm attacking.
58:24A lot of the pain.
58:26So, just trying to read the game, you know.
58:29You're tired, of course.
58:29I'm sure LeBron is, too.
58:31Age 41.
58:32The triple-double.
58:33Back-to-back games.
58:33What was it like playing with him?
58:35You guys exchanged a lot of different moments on the court, it seemed like.
58:37Great.
58:37I mean, like I said yesterday, you know, without him, we don't win.
58:42So, the way he's playing, it's incredible to see and incredible to watch.
58:46I suppose the most important thing for you is just to get a win.
58:49It's the eighth straight now.
58:51What kind of rhythm is the team in at this moment?
58:53I mean, it's very impressive.
58:55I know a lot of people didn't get a lot of sleep yesterday.
58:58And we come here, you know, we fight.
59:00We fight till the end and win the game.
59:02It says a lot, like I said.
59:04Just an incredible win.
59:05We've got to keep going.
59:06All right, go get some rest.
59:07All right, Billy.
59:08Boy, played like an MVP tonight, didn't he?
59:11Luka Doncic.
59:13Fun to watch, too, Lance.
59:14Yeah, very, very much so.
59:16And, you know, now they get a day off, and they're going to play the hardest game of the trip
59:22against Orlando so far.
59:24You know, they had the two with the Rockets and then tonight.
59:27But the Orlando game will be harder than the previous three.
59:34Well, Luka with Carlos Alcaraz.
59:38Boy, I'll tell you what.
59:38You don't look too great when those are two.
59:40Oh, wow.
59:42Super stars.
59:44Yeah.
59:45All right.
59:46Let's say goodnight from Miami.
59:49What a game for the Lakers.
59:50They win 134-126.
59:52Huge night for Luka and, of course, the rest of the Lakers.
59:56The winning streak continues.
59:58We'll see a Saturday.
