00:00Sports Network the home of the
00:02Spurs.
00:27After a successful two game road
00:29trip out west the Spurs are back
00:32home and fans are excited to see
00:34the second seed in the west back
00:36in town inside of the Frostbank
00:38Center as the Spurs welcome in
00:40the thirty nine and thirty
00:41Phoenix Suns lucky number thirteen
00:44games remaining in the regular
00:46season.
00:47Hello everybody.
00:48Welcome to the floor Jacob Tobey
00:49alongside Sean Elliott.
00:50Do you want to mention that Steph
00:51Castle is not in the lineup tonight.
00:53He's out with a hip issue.
00:55But Sean the Spurs going back to
00:56that two game road trip pretty
00:58pretty good.
00:59Well they did a great job moving
01:00the basketball and taking every
01:02game with the proper amount of
01:05respect.
01:05I think that was the biggest thing
01:06where you had two opponents that
01:08were down.
01:08down.
01:09But our guys showed no mercy.
01:10They hit the quarter century mark
01:12in terms of three pointers a
01:13franchise record twenty five
01:15threes made in that game in
01:18Sacramento.
01:18Yeah.
01:19And I said at the end of that one
01:20you know I felt like there have
01:21been better three point shooting
01:23teams in the past.
01:24But apparently I was mistaken
01:25because did a great job filling
01:28it up now.
01:28Sacramento Kings weren't the best
01:31defensive ball club that we've
01:32seen.
01:33But our guys had a great job still
01:34moving it and making the right
01:35decisions and you know willy
01:37nilly with the basketball.
01:38They just continued to put their
01:40foot on the gas step up and
01:41shoot the ball with a lot of
01:42confidence.
01:42And a season high forty one
01:43assists.
01:44We've said it over and over again
01:45Sean this team does a good job
01:46of sharing the basketball.
01:47You know they revel in each
01:48other's success.
01:49That's the biggest thing.
01:50And when you have that kind of
01:51chemistry that kind of
01:52camaraderie where the guys
01:54genuinely like each other.
01:55It carries over into the way
01:57they play on the court.
01:58Taking a look at the
01:59standings the Spurs still
02:00second in the West second best
02:03and the Suns coming in thirty
02:05nine and thirty going to be in
02:06that play in game to decide who
02:08plays the Spurs between the
02:09Suns and the Clippers if it
02:11holds right there.
02:11Yeah.
02:12And this is this game is a
02:13dilemma for the Suns.
02:15I got to tell you because you
02:16want to win this game because
02:18you don't want to continue to
02:18fall in the standings but at
02:21the same time are you going to
02:23show your entire hand to the
02:25Spurs and you might meet them
02:26in the first round.
02:27Absolutely.
02:27And the Suns they are out of
02:29five guys their lineup tonight
02:31but they still have Devin
02:32Booker who is tenth in the
02:34NBA in points per game.
02:35Sean this is a guy that scored
02:36seventy points and has that
02:38ability to do it any single
02:39night.
02:39And he's going to be a problem
02:40because you're down your
02:42short step Castle your top
02:44perimeter defender.
02:45And if he and Jalen Green get
02:46it going on you we may not have
02:48enough bodies to guard both
02:50those guys because they're
02:51exceptional scores.
02:53No Dylan Brooks no Russell
02:54Neil and a couple others out
02:55tonight for Phoenix so we'll
02:56see how they respond with their
02:58lineup changes against the
03:00Spurs.
03:01The Suns have won two games this
03:02season against San Antonio.
03:03Victor didn't play one of them.
03:05Spurs looking to even up the
03:06season series at two.
03:09It's the Spurs and the Suns
03:11coming up next right here on
03:12FanDuel Sports Network.
03:20Welcome back to San Antonio
03:22as the Spurs get ready to face
03:23off against the Phoenix Suns.
03:25The Suns going to have to deal
03:26with the potential MVP of the
03:28NBA Victor Wembenyama.
03:30Wem-VP right Sean.
03:32Yeah.
03:32There's no question he's a
03:33front runner.
03:34He's one of the front runners.
03:35Jacob I think it's going to take
03:37some really dominant
03:38performances down for the rest
03:42of the season for him to be
03:44able to wrestle that away from
03:46SGA but it is possible he
03:48continues to dominate and our
03:50guys continue on this hot
03:51winning streak.
03:52There's a definite
03:53possibility he could be
03:54looking at the third MVP in
03:56Spurs history.
03:58Victor's squad has won 50 games
04:00and they're second in the West
04:02and what will he have in store
04:04for us tonight.
04:05Back at home for a couple.
04:06The Suns and the Spurs starting
04:07line us and tip off.
04:08Coming your way next.
04:10T by Frost Bank.
04:11Exactly what you unexpected.
04:14And by H-E-B.
04:15Here everything's better.
04:18Well it's March Madness time.
04:20Going back.
04:21Back in time.
04:22Some of the guys college days.
04:26College is with the most Spurs
04:27all time Sean.
04:28Arizona with 10.
04:31Makes sense.
04:32Why am I not shot?
04:36Let's take a look at the
04:37starting lineups.
04:38We start with the visiting
04:40Phoenix Suns who again are
04:42missing five players from their
04:43regular rotation including
04:45Dylan Brooks he's out with a
04:46hand fracture.
04:47Jalen Green played well last
04:48time in Austin against the
04:49Spurs.
04:49Goodwin Iguodaro with the
04:50center spot.
04:51Booker who's 10th in the NBA
04:52scoring and calling Gillespie
04:54the three-point sniper from
04:56Villanova.
04:58So not a lot of size in that
05:00lineup but there's some know
05:02how and there's a lot of
05:03scoring.
05:04For the Spurs no Steph
05:05Castle.
05:06He is out tonight with a hip
05:09issue.
05:10So Barnes stays in that starting
05:13lineup champ Henning one
05:14Banyama the return of Devin
05:15Masell after missing the last
05:16game.
05:17Andy Aaron Fox.
05:22So back home for two.
05:24And back on the road for three.
05:28And the Spurs.
05:30Such a playoff spot.
05:32With a win tonight.
05:35A lot on the line and like I
05:37said for the Phoenix Suns.
05:38I thought at the beginning of
05:39the season they did the best
05:40job on Victor Wimbledon that
05:41we've seen so far just showing
05:43a lot of bodies at him.
05:46I wonder if they're going to
05:48they've got to keep the same
05:49kind of defensive scheme going
05:51even though you're going to
05:53show him how you might play
05:55him in that first round.
05:57Iguodaro at 6-11.
06:00Second year player out of
06:01Marquette.
06:01Victor wins the tip.
06:02It's presented by Pizza Hut.
06:04And we're underway.
06:05Back home in the Alamo City.
06:08Fourth and final matchup in the
06:10regular season between these two
06:11teams.
06:11Phoenix has one, two, three.
06:14Spurs got payback last month in
06:17Austin.
06:19Barnes swings it.
06:20Devin Bissell.
06:21With a step.
06:22Kicks out.
06:23Champetti.
06:24Short.
06:25That's okay.
06:26We have that type of
06:26thought movement tonight.
06:27It's going to be a lot of fun.
06:30Season high 41 assists.
06:31Last game in Sacramento.
06:35The Lesbian.
06:37What a year he's had.
06:39Firing.
06:40In and out.
06:41Victor the first rebound.
06:46Fox.
06:47Crossover on Green.
06:48And the bucket.
06:50De'Aaron Fox.
06:51Perfect.
06:52Mid-range games has gotten better
06:53and better throughout the
06:54course of the season.
06:56DJ Lee Green just gives him space
06:58and he's got to honor his
06:59quickness going to the basket.
07:02Sons have lost three straight games
07:04coming off of a loss in Minnesota
07:06where the Timberwolves did not have
07:08Anthony Edwards.
07:12Booker.
07:13Cillespie.
07:15And that's how it rolls in and
07:16Gillespie thought he got tapped on
07:18the under.
07:18That was a bit more.
07:19So I mean it hits everything.
07:21Oh.
07:21Sides of the rim.
07:22The glass finally drops.
07:26And then he hand off Barnes.
07:28He's Tar Heels playing right now.
07:30In the NCAA tournament.
07:31He's in.
07:33Unpink.
07:34Dries past Gillespie.
07:35Waits.
07:36And uses the glass beautifully.
07:38That hesitation is so uncanny.
07:42And then he stops on a dive.
07:43I think it all just passes him
07:45in the air.
07:46Right side of glass.
07:47Absolutely wide open.
07:50Going back to O'Neill.
07:51Or rather Booker.
07:54Little bit in place of O'Neill
07:56tonight.
07:57In the starting lineup.
07:59O'Neill out with left knee
08:00soreness.
08:01No.
08:02Grayson Allen in this game as
08:03well.
08:04Before Phoenix.
08:05He's out with left knee
08:06soreness.
08:09Balls moving.
08:17He's coming to set the screen, slips it, gets all the way to the basket, somehow corrals
08:21that one.
08:22I like the effort there just to make sure that you come away with the basket instead
08:27of trying to dunk it, kind of falling out of bounds.
08:34He's moving the paint for the Spurs really as Gillespie gets in.
08:38You mentioned it, not a lot of size in this Phoenix lineup, so you want to go down low
08:42early.
08:43Yeah, I would like to see us punish them in the paint, not just relying on outside shots.
08:48Victor with a great cut there.
08:50See the help defender doesn't want to be part of that one.
08:57Jalen Green came over in the Kevin Durant trade, fires and hits it, got going in Austin against
09:04the Spurs.
09:05He's just not been on the court much this year.
09:08No, he's got to build some chemistry with the guys out there on the floor and he hasn't
09:11done that quite yet, but he still has a few more games left and come playoff time, it could
09:16be dangerous.
09:17He's been battling right hamstring injuries and a hip issue.
09:25Devin, the middie, Brooks every time.
09:29He's going to be able to get that shot over Gillespie anytime he wants if he's caught with
09:33that mismatch.
09:35He's out there guard Devin Booker time and he's his size against him.
09:40And miscommunication, maybe Iguodara wasn't expecting that pass on the wall from Booker.
09:45That's a damage of the senior in the world of Steph Castle, where you're taking on their
09:48top scorer and so far doing a nice job.
09:53De'Aaron stops and it hits again.
09:56That's the speed that Mitch Johnson wants to see out of his squad, 12th in the NBA in
10:00pace.
10:01You're going to pressure him in the backboard.
10:03If he beats you, you're going to pay the price.
10:07Did not find out about the castle injury until about an hour before tip-off.
10:13No mention of that after last game, Iguodara, nicely done.
10:18He'll use his body well, you see he almost turns his back to Victor, trying to keep Victor
10:23out of the plate.
10:25Barnes cutting the fake Champagny, sticks it, and the Spurs first three-pointer.
10:34He's just put on a non-stop beater, put up those shots at Sacramento.
10:40Yeah, there's 25 more to break the record.
10:46All five Spurs have scored.
10:48Victor, last second pass out, HB.
10:52Green.
10:59Green.
11:01Then the Suns have lost three straight, sitting in his seventh spot right now.
11:07Green.
11:08Wow.
11:09Golden Green.
11:10Green, career just under 20 points per game score, 19.9.
11:14He's had some big performances in this building.
11:18And he had 26 last time in Austin where he hit four threes.
11:249.35 series, the Spurs won that game.
11:29Victor just waits.
11:31No chance for Gillespie.
11:33Timeout Phoenix.
11:34He had a great view, though.
11:38All he needed was a ticket.
11:41Oh, good catch there by Victor Gillespie trying to get back in it.
11:45No need to foul there.
11:47He just, at that point, he couldn't see the two.
11:54Welcome back.
11:55Great energy so far here inside of the Frostbanks Center.
11:58The first of the two-game homestand after the quick two-game road trip with the Spurs.
12:03Feet up on the Clippers and the Ks.
12:05Time now for Navy Federal Credit Union on a mission.
12:09And it's Victor Wominyama, of course, one of the game's greatest players.
12:14Potentially the MVP this year.
12:1529 points, 11 rebounds, three blocks his last seven games.
12:19Yeah, he's going to have to continue that type of effort down the stretch here in order to win that
12:24MVP.
12:24Yeah, like I said, he's obviously one of the front winners.
12:28Our guys continue to win ballgames and win 60.
12:30Defense!
12:31He's just going to go up.
12:33We just need SGA and OKC to stumble just a little bit.
12:37Her mate and TJ talking the pregame show about Kate Cunningham with the collapsed run out multiple weeks.
12:42That may take him out of the MVP race as well.
12:45And that's unfortunate for him because he gets that collapsed lung apparently diving on the floor for a baseball.
12:52Shot clock going down.
12:53Booker, no chance against the Spurs defense.
12:56Swarming.
12:57I love it.
12:57Make somebody else beat you there.
13:01Victor has Booker down there.
13:02He was looking for maybe a lob.
13:04See if they recognize the mismatch.
13:07Kelden's checked in.
13:10Dylan Harper in there as well.
13:12Here comes Green who's hit a couple buckets early.
13:15Quick move.
13:16Up and under.
13:16And he is talented.
13:18Yes, he really is.
13:19Victor was milking the entire time.
13:22Tried to time that block and Green still beats him off the glass.
13:26Green still just trying to get his win back.
13:28Only playing his 22nd game of the season.
13:30After back-to-back years of playing 82.
13:36Melvin's stuck.
13:37Victor wants a screen.
13:39And you're getting him one on one out here.
13:41Melwalks, the rookie.
13:43Victor draws the foul.
13:46And the rookie from Duke.
13:47The guilty party.
13:49How often does Melwalk have to come outside the pace.
13:52I'll tie the three-point line and guard.
13:55And so.
13:55I like giving Victor space in that situation.
13:58Allow him to go one on one.
14:04And here he is to the free throw line.
14:07And he is 81 percent.
14:10But they give him two at three.
14:11Nope.
14:12Two.
14:15Close.
14:20But they go with two.
14:21Chief Kevin Scott.
14:23Referee David Taylor.
14:25And umpire Robert Hussey.
14:27Ooh.
14:27Oh yeah.
14:29It's like a Kevin Durant toe.
14:31A couple of years back with the net to the Celtics on the play.
14:34It looks like shot.
14:35One of the courses of having a giant sheet.
14:38It's stuck on the line too much.
14:41Oh.
14:47Two.
14:50One.
14:52Two.
14:53Three.
14:54Two.
14:54Give the throw sa umpire.
14:55One, two, three, two, three.
14:56The son.
14:56We mentioned the son's don't have Dylan Brooks.
14:58Who's the primary defender.
15:01He'll get Victor when these two teams match up. No Mark Williams, their starting setter.
15:07Royce O'Neal is a level three-point shooter. That one off the mark. Now watch. Try to get the
15:11offensive rebound.
15:13Off of the Spurs. Cornette coming in.
15:17Let me get his first rest.
15:22Okay, Victor plays seven minutes. Six points, three rebounds, and a steal.
15:30Phoenix, a gritty team. Much different than last year, as Booker knocks it down.
15:37That's a terrific effort there. Devin Booker. Devin Selle can have his long arms and size.
15:42He gets a little physical, backs up Devin. He gets enough space to get that shot off.
15:49K.J. Off glass. That right side has been kind to him all year long.
15:54Yeah, I love the recognition there, too. It doesn't matter that Booker can score the ball.
15:58Don't they have enough size to take on Kelton when he decides to take the ball in the basket?
16:03And Dunn has come on. Second-year player from Virginia.
16:07So Jordan not first your head coach has to go deep into the bench because of the injuries.
16:14Goodwin stepped back. Get hot. Offensive rebound. Tapped a gun. He puts it in.
16:20You guys leaking out there. Just Luke Corvette.
16:24Maybe Devin Selle on the offensive end. He puts a glass there, rather.
16:28Now it's here, Mitch. Coach Mitch talk about game rebounding.
16:32And Devin Selle is short.
16:37Right back to Harper.
16:40And Malawash the rebound. Malawash just has not gotten much play time.
16:45But he has played more in the rotation since the Spurs play the Suns in Austin.
16:51But for misses. Spurs on the run.
16:54Devin Selle and Harper. Harper leaves it. For Devin.
16:57That's two point guards play right there.
17:00And that's a two point guard looking for the assist rather than looking for the bucket for himself.
17:05He saw that early on in the season when he was looking for Victor a lot.
17:08Yeah. Yeah. You see how he dropped the ball off and ran into Ferris.
17:11Well, I've got to get to the basket with the defense.
17:14Green three is good.
17:17Green three is good.
17:18Sort of effortless jump shot from Jayden Green.
17:20Yeah, that's what scares me. He gets elevation on the jump shot.
17:24He's one of those guys. He could be hitting going and really stop him.
17:28Let's keep the ball out of his hands.
17:30Harper out. Kelden fires.
17:33Can't respond from three. His first just one of seven in downtown.
17:39Some of the two and three.
17:43Some of the NBA in three point percentage.
17:45Phoenix.
17:46A ton of their points come from three.
17:48Fifth in terms of percentage of their points from downtown.
17:52Track clock going down. It's at four.
17:55Goodwin weaving.
17:57Stuck spinning.
17:59And he missed it.
18:00And it's Carter Bryant down there.
18:01And he gets the loose ball.
18:02High the back from CB.
18:05Harper.
18:06Booker.
18:07No.
18:08Got his own miss.
18:09Oh, he shorted it.
18:12Put the reverse English on it.
18:14He just spun it the wrong way off the glass.
18:16Kind of a funky angle.
18:19Pacing away from the baseline and the basket.
18:22As Bryant then strips Booker.
18:29And a timeout on the floor.
18:32So a hockey assist from Kelden here.
18:35Yeah.
18:36Yeah.
18:37A good lead pass there.
18:38And you see Dylan Harper gives it up like all two-point guards should.
18:41Easy finish for Devon.
18:43Lee it.
18:43I see him there.
18:44I need my fix during the game.
18:47There he is.
18:48Try and eat everything.
18:50He was at the Women of Influence luncheon today for the YWCA.
18:55And just loved all the women there.
18:59Absolutely.
19:01Sean, what would he pick on our final four food fight that we were talking about in the pregame with
19:06Aaron Carreño?
19:06None of these.
19:07It'd be mashed avocados.
19:10Some mashed pears maybe.
19:13Oat and oats and bananas mushed together.
19:17Pizza is in the lead at 37%.
19:19Scan the QR code and vote what your favorite arena food is.
19:22Final four edition.
19:23Pizza was in the lead?
19:24Pizza was in the lead.
19:25Followed by, was that hot dog or popcorn?
19:27I couldn't catch that.
19:30Hot dog is second.
19:33My two picks, thank you.
19:37We all know Chicken Fingers is the right answer.
19:42But no burger on there for you.
19:44Sorry.
19:44I'm going to go to the next time.
19:46You eat burgers or a barbecue sandwich and I'll allow Chicken Fingers.
19:54Foul here.
19:56Let's be his first.
19:57Second team foul.
19:59So for the Spurs right now, it's Fox, Harper, Cornette, Bryant, and KJ.
20:13Harper.
20:16Shot clock at 5.
20:17He fades.
20:18Too strong.
20:19Cornette tried to tap it back.
20:20Ricochets out.
20:21Into the hands of former Spurs Jamari Bouyer.
20:25Looks like he's found a home.
20:27Yep.
20:28Converted from a two-way contract to a standard deal early March.
20:32Played three NBA games with the Spurs and spent a couple seasons in Austin.
20:36Good for him.
20:38Focus.
20:39We're up to a NBA player in the G-lead.
20:42Fox behind the back.
20:43Steps through.
20:45Just missed it, but he was right there.
20:50Phoenix looking for the lead.
20:52Led by one briefly.
20:55The Lesby well off.
20:57Cleaning.
20:58Was out of bounds.
20:59Difficult shot there, Jake.
21:01And when you're trying to feed Darren Fox off the screen.
21:03He didn't get enough separation to get that shot off.
21:05You know that Fox is hanging in there, staying in the play.
21:09He's buried down on you.
21:10So you don't really get your feet set.
21:12And you shoot it wide right.
21:14Keldon with the angle.
21:17Short.
21:18A couple short shots from the Spurs at the rim.
21:24Who would have thought about it?
21:26The Lesby has the green light.
21:27And that's why.
21:28That's where he has how you look at it.
21:30He's just not going to miss very many of those.
21:33He's a terrific shooter.
21:38Spurs started this game off 8 of 10.
21:41They picked his one shot since.
21:47Harper.
21:48There it is.
21:49The first announcer jinx.
21:51Looks like the Suns just trying to pack the phone against our guys.
21:56We'll see if you guys can repeat what you pulled off in Sacramento.
22:03And the Suns respond.
22:09Fox.
22:10They can play there by Iguodoro.
22:12And his left lefty finish.
22:16Keldon offensive rebound.
22:18And again at the rim.
22:21A couple times.
22:22A couple times my guys have been in a hurry here.
22:24They could.
22:25We've done a lot of shot walkers out there on the floor for the Suns.
22:27That's where Keldon could really take his time.
22:30And the three Keldon Johnson is an easy finish.
22:32First spin in the last two minutes.
22:35So that foul.
22:36Is that on Harper?
22:37Yep.
22:38They got that on Harper.
22:39First in the last two minutes for the Spurs.
22:4117 seconds remaining.
22:50He brings it up there on an 11 to 3-1.
22:532, 2, 3, 4.
22:592, 3, 4.
23:002, 3, 4.
23:012, 3, 4.
23:032, 3, 4.
23:23So for Devin Booker to end the first quarter.
23:26Spurs looking for their 52nd win of the season.
23:30First of a two-game homestand.
23:31The Spurs are back in the Alamo City.
23:33FanDuel Sports Network is brought to you by the Methodist Healthcare System.
23:37Methodist Healthcare proudly offers 10 neighborhood ERs across San Antonio.
23:43Kentucky, the most NBA players of all time with 125, including Helvin Johnson, of course.
23:52He's killed him as yellow guy did.
23:54That's what he was a petite fillet.
23:57Shandy and Fox, of course, in Kentucky.
24:02Carter Bryant there for the defense, the strip.
24:06Here he is with speed.
24:09Couldn't get that to play.
24:12Touchdown, you've got a full head of steam penetrating to the right side of the glass.
24:17It's impossible to put the red on a touch on that one.
24:20Gillespie hits his second three.
24:23It's tricky, 42% from three.
24:28And he's shooting 42% from beyond the arc.
24:31He's got the green light special.
24:34Already got three threes.
24:36Fox, soft glass for two.
24:39Gillespie only hit two.
24:41And that last game against the Spurs at Austin, he was too late, so he's already had more in this
24:46game.
24:46Green pulls up.
24:48Well off.
24:49Rashir Fleming tried to tip it, but it goes out of bounds.
25:09Spurs ball!
25:10And the alley-oop attempt.
25:13Some's got that second one that the Spurs beat him in Austin.
25:16Beat him pretty good.
25:19Because Devin Booker wasn't the second half of that game, Gillespie again.
25:23He's morphing into Steve Nash.
25:26And he's been unbelievable.
25:29One, two, three, three, four.
25:31One, two, three, three, four.
25:33One, two, three, four.
25:35One, two, three, four.
25:38One, two, three, four.
25:42One, two, three, four.
25:46Coffee's come in.
25:48Jalen Green flies in.
25:50Oh, it's really awesome.
25:51Hanging in the air.
25:54Absorbing in.
25:54He's got in contact with us.
25:57I told you, he's been a problem ever since he's gotten in the league.
26:01We almost have no answer for him.
26:04Mitch Johnson wants to talk things over with his squad here on FanDuel Sports Network.
26:12Join us at the Frostbanks Center right here, Saturday, March 21st at 7 p.m.

26:34Are you a Star Wars guy?
26:35Yeah, yeah, I mean, I was, and I got confused by all the prequels and sequels.
26:43Can't keep up.
26:45Although, I did love the Mandalorian, spaghetti western.
26:48It was fun.
26:49There you go.
26:53Barnes.
26:55Coffee right up in there.
26:58Fox free.
27:01He's not falling right now for the Spurs.
27:04He's 2-9.
27:08Gillespie's got a red hot.
27:09He's had four hits from downtown.
27:12Rasheer Fleming.
27:14Come on.
27:15He's a big boy.
27:16He's got a lot of length.
27:18He's got a lot of that in college.
27:19Just a rookie.
27:22And at St. Joseph's.
27:25Well, the Nyama can do just that, too.
27:28No.
27:28No dribbles required.
27:30He fits inside.
27:32It's a free throw line.
27:33There's two-step all the way to the basket.
27:38Gillespie.
27:38Shifting.
27:39Fires.
27:40And it rolls in.
27:42And it's just that night for Colin Gillespie.
27:44I missed his first couple three balls because I thought they were rushed.
27:47But the last one that's been doing, they've been really comfortable.
27:52Fox goes up.
27:53And a foul called on Fleming.
27:57He gets fouled over 20.
27:59Rasheer Fleming is first.
28:01This was something from Rasheer Fleming.
28:03Second round draft pick.
28:05He's got a full head of steam.
28:07And takes off their thunderous finish from Rasheer Fleming.
28:12And Victor Wimbaniama, I mean, he catches that outside the three-point line.
28:17I mean, the free throw line is totally a basket and it's just insanity.
28:22Well, I actually think he could two-step to the rim just outside of the three-point line, too.
28:27Like, you probably could.
28:28I mean, we'll see that.
28:30In the dunk contest one day, I'm sure.
28:37Now, if he wanted you to be a prop.
28:40Then I'm gonna be a prop.
28:42You've got to understand.
28:44He's learned the franchise.
28:46It's so popular to say, it's not Timmy Duncan.
28:49You can all talk about this and that.
28:51It's what Timmy wants.
28:58Iguodoro swings inside and a foul is called.
29:01Mitch Johnson disagreeing with that call.
29:05Could have a swing through motion from Iguodoro.
29:09And they're giving him two shots, says Dedrick Taylor.
29:17And he said that left arm down and he swings the ball right through that arm.
29:23Just like you see so many guards doing this leap.
29:27And he's all coming to his hometown team.
29:29He's born in Mesa.
29:35Mitch not happy.
29:44Crowd and led by the Jackals.
29:46Shooting at that end.
29:48Trying to do their job here.
29:49pł блambiñaсол.
29:59The air leaves it.
30:00Luminatyama.
30:05Almost.
30:09Not at the rim today did not end kind to San Antonio.
30:20You have to reach across your body to try to dunk the ball there he takes off with his left
30:25it's a big-time flush set the basketball gods trying to punish the team after hitting all
30:31those threes in Fox to the bench Jordan McLaughlin has checked in as well a few
30:46possessions ago
30:51Gordon hit the 24th three-pointer in that game in Sacramento then Lindy hit the
30:55record-breaker twenty-fifth
31:02he's here tonight in this game from three
31:11plumbing
31:13you can do that yeah I thought doing the draft clearly goes from the top 15 the
31:21top 20 good materialized over the music is all that talent-wise
31:26too long during green the rebound
31:34I'm here coffee
31:36don't have to make a dog
31:38just lost it going up
31:46basketball
31:50Spurs down the largest
31:52deficit of the game 11 here
31:54first-year head coach Jordan Aughton has done a terrific job with the Suns
31:58nine games over 500
32:00came over
32:01after being assisted with the Cleveland Cavaliers
32:03yeah defensively they've been locked in
32:06they're leaning their feet they're helping each other out
32:07they're physical
32:11and we haven't been able to make shots
32:13that's
32:14Mattel right there
32:15Devin
32:19Devin's first three-pointer goes in
32:30Devin's first three-pointer goes in
32:43to get that shot off
32:48Harper
32:51McLaughlin
32:51Levin Yama kept it high
32:53and that's it
32:55that's an impossible
32:56I think Jordan
32:57might let it fly there
32:58he's a 23-pointer
32:59shooter
33:00we can look like he just
33:01throw that up there
33:02maybe beat the shot
33:03but still a lot of time
33:05never put it down
33:06never brought it down
33:07Victor's on a mission right now
33:09he's 4 of 5
33:1213 points
33:12I mean he's
33:17started to go right
33:18in his jersey
33:20just raises right over the top of him
33:23tough shot because you don't get your momentum going up
33:26he's got to shoot it pretty much with all arms
33:28air ball that time from green
33:30off the offensive rebound
33:31Booker back in the game
33:35Booker
33:35threw it to the wrong team
33:38McLaughlin
33:39with Wemby calling for it
33:40oh

33:49Devin Bissell
33:51Wembyn Yama
33:52HB
33:54nice to get something out of that
33:56he isn't the best one

34:06well it's thrown right to Harrison Barnes

34:54Sean Elliott with you

36:06all ball and no body contact
36:08they're doing Harper
36:09off to the races
36:11looked and finished at the rear

36:15Jordan when he was traded
36:17Spurs
36:17last year
36:18from
36:19the Kings to the Spurs
36:20his

36:29Parker floating
36:30again but it rolls
36:31in and out
36:33exceeding many of those
36:35today
36:36they gotta even themselves out in the second half
36:41Booker
36:41tricky
36:58Booker
37:03you know I do
37:05oh
37:06there you have it
37:07Iguodaro has that right arm down
37:08and the same thing he caught Victor on
37:11yes
37:11and got three throws
37:12he gets more medicine handed back to him
37:21yeah Sean I went on
37:22Golik and Golik today
37:23on FanDuel Sports Network
37:25and they were asking what the biggest difference is
37:26between
37:27last year and this year
37:28with Victor and I said his shot chart
37:30he's doing more mid-range
37:31yeah
37:31which you've been asking for
37:33yeah
37:33more in the paint
37:34last three point attempts
37:38well he just teased
37:39seems like he starts
37:40on the inside first
37:42a lot more this season
37:44than the previous two
37:48time for the defensive assignment
37:49here on Booker
37:52so shifty now KJ on him
37:56Iguodaro a proper shot
38:00he's going to bounce back
38:01and somehow
38:03the spin on it
38:04top spin
38:05gets it to fall forward
38:11Harper
38:14crossover on Goodwin
38:15backing him down
38:16spinning away
38:17Dylan Harper
38:29is it my fault that I mentioned the
38:31man's a wall fan's
38:32right
38:33just thank you
38:36two fouls on Keldon
38:39oh man
38:41he looks so good
38:42the
38:42rocks are gone tonight
38:50there's ten of twenty in the paint
38:52in this game
38:54fifty percent of all four and second chance
38:56shots
38:59A couple of those that are off the rim.
39:04Fox and Iguodaro got tangled up.
39:06That's two on the air in the third team foul.
39:15Steve Nash, I mean, Gillespie is coming back in.
39:21They do play similar styles.
39:26I don't know about Gillespie's past soccer experience because Steve Nash was a heck of a soccer player.
39:34I wish he was.
39:35He could be good at anything.
39:40You just saw Westport pass him on the all-time assist list in Sacramento in that game.
39:55San Antonio, four of 14.
39:59Booker.
40:02He had 40 points in Boston a couple nights ago.
40:04He's impossible to guard that situation when you have to retreat back to the page.
40:08And then you come out on him if your momentum's going forward, and then he has you at his mercy.
40:14He's averaging 31 points this month, highest out of any NBA player.
40:20KJ is stuck.
40:21He's going to move Pouillier out of the way.
40:23Yeah, yeah, I was about to say, Kevin's telling him right now, don't pass that ball.
40:28Just be patient there.
40:37Wauker.
40:41Walker.
40:41Igodaro.
40:43About that time.
40:45Get the hook back.
40:45I didn't know.
40:48Everybody's watching.
40:49I can't rebound in there.
40:50Finally get a list of Igodoro with a ball.
40:52We get some unkind bounce.
40:55And you don't pick up the glass.
40:57Some sauce on that pass from Ferris.
40:59fox for the foul that's his first
41:10the spurs are the bonus so free throws for
41:20jules playing in his 173rd consecutive game tonight
41:26second longest active streak behind mikhail bridges
41:39here from h-e-b
41:58and he's back on the floor
42:01a minute of game time a couple minutes of real lifetime
42:14the spurs playing a game in under two hours on the road trip
42:18that didn't happen very often on next to that field
42:22and the fact that we did have to wait on the bus for the players we could walk right back
42:26to the hotel
42:27with the tunnel underneath the arena that accepted us
42:32bouillet
42:33when the others reach may have got to him there
42:40fox champhenny free
42:45it's a three-point game
42:50good after third by Victor look at that cross court fast and you're extra fast to do it in the
42:55corner
42:58the last week doing it all himself right now he's got 17 points
43:04i'm in jaylen green have combined for 30.
43:07that's something that you can't afford to happen to you because you know that jaylen green and
43:12and devin hooker are almost unstoppable with gillespie has been the x factor
43:18fox right to the rim but
43:19what a miss
43:22point range gillespie oh no
43:27he's trying to defend victor here they're like get him the basketball
43:36and he just wants to get a bit lower
43:39everyone just watching gillespie and victor shot clock at five the cell wide open
43:54and that's a look at the play W ontem
43:55and that's the look of a player by gulesky
43:57a great court vision and awareness
44:03Not enough time to go two-for-one
44:12Cornette and Victor out there at the same time
44:15Fox stops
44:17That's a bit off
44:18Taps out Cornette with Boonewin
44:20Got it
44:23Final shot belongs to DeSantis
44:28Their last three
44:30They come in here with a chip on their shoulder
44:32Foul on Devin
44:33And that's his first
44:36Foul to give
44:38Green back in for the final possession
44:40He's got 13 points
44:45Suns 18th in the NBA in offensive rating
44:4811th in defense
44:51They're a good offensive rebounder team
44:52Which we've seen here in the first half
44:57Booker by everybody
44:59He's gone
45:02Picked up by Fox
45:08And that's it for the first two quarters
45:14A little bit of a struggle on the offensive
45:17A little bit of a struggle on the offensive
45:18A lot of credit
45:19They were locked in defensively
45:21So guys hopefully have an answer when they come out of the locker room
45:25Nate Ryan and T.J. Ford have your halftime report coming up
45:28By USAA
45:29Proudly serving the military community and their families for over 100 years

46:09At the Pearl
46:10Of course this is all part of the Spurs culinary residency program presented by Coca-Cola
46:15That's just not fair
46:16No this is amazing
46:18They're the only restaurant with a TV for the Spurs game at the Pearl by the way
46:22So you could have dipped cheese cheesecakes and watch the Spurs game
46:28You know what I love is when they have that thick crust on the bottom of the cheesecake
46:32That graham cracker crust
46:34Yeah
46:34Yum
46:37And it's cold too which is like a nice refreshing
46:41Refreshing thing

46:54Yeah
46:55Now chocolate chocolate
46:56And it looks like vanilla in there
46:58Well I love vanilla you know that
47:01Oh man
47:09What is going on with the food scene at the arena
47:13It's right now it's out of control
47:16I'm just cleaning up all the crumbs I made a mess of
47:22When we start the second half
47:24I had Julian Champagne cleaning up there
47:26I mean that was a big block
47:28Thank you Julian
47:30Knocked that one out of bounds allowing me to get an extra bite
47:33That's the kind of effort I want to see in the second half
47:38Classic New York cheesecake on a stick dipped in chocolate and rolled in cookies for unique taste and texture
47:47And I want to thank Dominic Chacon
47:50One
47:51And I want to touch with the one
47:57One
47:57One
47:57One
47:57One
47:59One
48:04Do you call that cake and cheese?
48:08Who told you to say that?
48:10Yeah, I'm sure.
48:12Someone told you to say that.
48:14Yeah, Trump, they want to know what you call that.
48:17I call it cake and cheese.
48:19I don't need anyone's affirmation because I have the Red Rockets affirmation.
48:24My opinion's on steak and cheeses.
48:28Che Petty.
48:31They struggled shooting from the field in the first half, specifically from three.
48:34They also didn't get an offensive rebound.
48:38Or a second-chance point, I should say.
48:40Only four offensive rebounds.
48:41Yeah, the offensive rebounds they got, they were just a little bit of a hurry.
48:46And they didn't get a lot of it because, again, the Sun's back in the paint a little bit against
48:50our guys,
48:50and we didn't move it as well.
48:54And Booker gets called for a foul.
48:57Fox through the log knowing that that might happen.
49:00Victor was a bit under the basket anyways.
49:05It was a smart play, nonetheless.
49:08We saw a little bit of that in Sacramento.
49:11Have a smaller guy in front of Victor.
49:14Not a lot Devin Booker can do about it.
49:16Even though he's in good position.
49:20Spurs trying to even up the season series with the Suns at two.
49:23No castle in this one.
49:25Out with a hip injury.
49:26Weminyama for three.
49:30He's one of three from downtown after that one.
49:35Booker, not in double digits yet.
49:36He's at eight points.
49:40Green had the hot hand first half.
49:42Back out Booker.
49:43Thought he might take that.
49:44New brains jump along the baseline.
49:46Had it wide open.
49:54Victor puts it back with power.
49:58That good recovery there.
49:59Looks like he's stumbling.
50:01It'll regain his balance and get that easy put back dunk.
50:09Green.
50:11A foul is called.
50:13Shane Penny saying he got hand and ball.
50:19Victor on this penetration just didn't look like he's gonna have a chance for an offensive rebound.
50:23Able to regain his composure there.
50:25Solid put back from the big fella.
50:31Jalen Green.
50:33Went through a rough shooting shot.
50:36Recently.
50:37Couldn't tell by the game he's playing right now.
50:40But.
50:42He told.
50:43Doug Holler in the athletic.
50:45Just keep shooting.
50:46Keep working.
50:47Staying in the gym.
50:47That's all.
50:48I can do.
50:49City stayed up to about 2 a.m.
50:52After a few games and he's been watching film.
50:54Straight film for 2 a.m.
50:57Well it means he cares.
50:58Oh you love to hear that out of a young player.
51:08Weminyama.
51:09Wants it down low.
51:10Turns it scores quickly.
51:14I love that action there.
51:15Victor again.
51:16Got that help defender sucked in.
51:18You make the cross court pass over the top.
51:20That victory finds himself with a little guy on him.
51:23Just beat him the ball down low.
51:25The last beat with the miss.
51:26Weminyama has 6th rebound.
51:29Push it up.
51:30Devon.
51:34Stops.
51:35It hits.
51:37Number one mid range.
51:39Field goal percentage in the NBA.
51:41And you see why there.
51:43Cause it elevates so high.
51:45Terrific release point.
51:47He's gonna get to that shot.
51:52Jalen Green.
51:53Oh.
51:54He's lost it.
51:55Barnes defending.
51:56Barnes back in the starting lineup.
51:57He plays the castle this time.
52:00And green in the off arm.
52:03Can't do that.
52:05That's his first.
52:07Harrison Barnes moving his feet there.
52:10Almost came up with the skewer at the start of that position.
52:13And able to draw the offensive foul.
52:15Victor was there for good measure.
52:22Bucks.
52:23Drops it off.
52:24Devon thought about it.
52:26Drives.
52:27And the turnover.
52:28I like him raising up right there.
52:31Pick up that initial dribble.
52:32Go right to that mid-range shot again.
52:37Booker.
52:40Passing off.
52:41Iguodaro.
52:43He's got that little pop a shot now.
52:45He does.
52:46Been very successful with it tonight.
52:49Iguodaro in the starting lineup.
52:50In place of Mark Williams.
52:51Five players out.
52:53To the injury.
52:54Victor falls down.
52:57And no jump ball called.
52:59He's stopped fighting for him with one hand.
53:01But the Suns come away with it.
53:03That was kind of amazing.
53:05It was like twister in basketball.
53:06That was up in the morning.
53:09And Gillespie is fouled.
53:12And that's frustration for the Spurs.
53:14Victor did all the work.
53:15Down there trying to get the jump ball.
53:18Officials didn't blow the whistle.
53:29He did all the work.
53:31They could do something.
53:33Be careful there.
53:35Could have been easily been a technical foul.
53:37He said two guys battling for the ball.
53:38Yeah.
53:39Good clean fun.
53:40Yeah.
53:42Well here's Gillespie.
53:49Makes it.
53:50Was on the Nuggets championship roster.
53:53After being undrafted in 2023.
53:55But he never played for that team Sean.
53:57He broke his leg in the summer.
54:00And.
54:02Everyone just super thrilled that he's back and healthy.
54:06Actually.
54:07I rode that championship parade.
54:10I rode in the truck with him.
54:12So he's more than back and healthy.
54:16And he's really put on a show tonight.
54:18Really nice young man.
54:22Goes to Villanova star.
54:26Bissell three.
54:28Hits good.
54:30Good set up there from Dylan Harper.
54:33Bissell had time to look at that one.
54:35Wasn't a rush three ball.
54:39Nice to continue that kind of theme here in the second half.
54:42You don't have to rush shots.
54:45No reason to force it.
54:46The air on the turnover.
54:47Spurs fifth.
54:49In the backcourt.
54:53The lesbians stepping back.
54:56No.
55:07See that too often from the end.
55:13And.
55:15Devin.
55:16Booker saying that's a shot.
55:19Surprised there that Iguodaro didn't go there and try to dunk it.
55:22He caught him right in the middle of the paint.
55:24Dylan Harper was in the restricted area.
55:27And he passes it out to Devin Booker on the perimeter.
55:32He knew that big and athletic.
55:34It's time to show off.
55:35I'm not for sure he's going to throw it down.
55:38But Fox to the bench.
55:40Champagne in.
55:40Harper will run the point guard for the Spurs.
55:48Champagne guarding Jalen Green.
55:49Shot clock going down.
55:50It's at seven.
55:53And that is the last team foul the Spurs can give Sean.
55:57Phoenix.
55:58Phoenix will be in the bonus.
56:00For seven.
56:01Minutes.
56:05Loves the problem.
56:07Last week in the Denver game.
56:09While Denver to get in the bonus early.
56:11And.
56:12I continue to get to the foul line.
56:14And shot a nice percentage.
56:15And this one here doing.
56:16Just stands a little shoulder shiver to the face
56:29Booker shifty
56:36Then the cell standing straight up and down
