00:00Mitch is looking at the big board.
00:02Yeah, he battles to get back in front of him.
00:05I mean, he's straight up and down.
00:07Dervin Booker's jumping into him.
00:09That is not a foul.
00:11Mitch is not challenging.
00:13Those girls will not use the challenge.
00:16Devon's got three personal fouls and Phoenix now in the bonus.
00:23Back to the Frostbanks Center, 67-61.
00:26The Suns on top go down to Nate Ryan who's with a special guest.
00:30JT, that's right.
00:31Spurs trailing here in the third quarter.
00:33But I'm joined by a very special guest spending the weekend here in San Antonio.
00:37It's Golden Globe Award winner Jeremy Piven.
00:40Jeremy, you've been to San Antonio before.
00:41What keeps you coming back?
00:43I'm here for a 10-day contract, actually.
00:45They were talking to me because I was with Wembley.
00:48We were out with the Shaolin Monks.
00:50I was just showing them I've got really good lateral movement.
00:54No, I'm here to perform at the LOL Comedy Club.
00:59And I'm not just saying this.
01:00I'm a huge fan of these guys.
01:02They look incredible.
01:03It's an exciting time for the Spurs.
01:06The word out there was that they were looking for a little depth in the playoff run, the postseason push.
01:11And you were on that short list, I'm told?
01:12I am short, so I'm on a list.
01:16I don't know.
01:17That's all I got for you.
01:19No, these guys are incredible.
01:24Anything is possible.
01:25I'm from Chicago.
01:26I grew up watching the Bulls.
01:28But these guys are unbelievable.
01:29And the fans are, I have to say, they're really well-behaved but passionate.
01:35It's a great combo.
01:36They love their Spurs.
01:37I saw you out there with the t-shirt cannon a little bit.
01:39That's a lot of power in your arm.
01:41Thank you, sir.
01:43Yeah, I am.
01:44All actors are frustrated athletes.
01:47So we couldn't make it.
01:49So this young gentleman about 11 years old was asking me to shoot it into his mouth.
01:54And it would have been a disaster.
01:56Yeah, then you get the lawyers involved right there.
01:58But nobody wins when that happens.
02:00And then I got to finish up.
02:01Jeremy, you got to give me a scenario in which the Entourage gang, Ari Gold and the crew,
02:06when would they ever come to San Antonio?
02:08Pitch me an idea.
02:10Look, the reality is I now live in Austin.
02:14Vinny Chase, Adrian Grenier lives in Austin.
02:17Johnny Drama, we can airlift him in.
02:20I mean, it's very possible.
02:23I'm sitting with the owner.
02:24He makes us an offer.
02:25And we're in San Antonio.
02:28And then we can get you more than just Friday night and Saturday night at the LLL Comedy Club.
02:31Oh, my God.
02:32You guys will be sick of us.
02:34We love it.
02:35We'll be courtside.
02:36We'll be filming here.
02:38I mean, listen, I've never been treated so well.
02:41I love it here.
02:41We just have to stop Devon Booker tonight.
02:44I don't know how you're going to do that.
02:46Well, that's JT and Sean's job.
02:48JT, Sean, back over to you, Jeremy Pippen in the house.
02:51There's a lot in that interview.
02:53I love it.
02:53Where do we start?
02:54The improv stand-up.
02:57It's one of those guys who paid the big bucks.
02:59Yeah.
03:01Comedians, not an easy job.
03:03Yeah, living in Austin.
03:05Obviously, you've got to convert to a Spurs fan.
03:08So, welcome to the club, Jeremy.
03:11Scores are two turnovers in the first half.
03:12They've got four here in the first five minutes of the third.
03:15Champagne three.
03:16Good.
03:18His third.
03:22Got a little bit of tip to the detail here, Jacob.
03:25You saw Jalen Green get a shot last time.
03:27We don't box out.
03:29He gets his own offense and rebound even though we clean up the mess.
03:32We still have to sharpen it up here.
03:34Devon Booker is now in double figures with 11.
03:39Iluminama.
03:40A couple pump fakes.
03:42Steps back.
03:47I don't mind that shot one bit.
03:50I like the lot.
03:51He's got another seven-footer, but he's going against him.
03:54Let's get that shot any time he wants.
03:57He's strong for Green.
03:58Harper up to Keldon.
04:01Keldon!
04:03How about throwing the feet right into the chest?
04:06I'm not walking.
04:08Backing him up in the air.
04:12Vintage Keldon.
04:14Harper stays in front of Booker.
04:17Jalen Green three.
04:20Romanyama.
04:22There's an eye three back.
04:27KJ.
04:30Romanyama.
04:32Almost did it again.
04:36Well, the house comes down and you've not set one and you're not set one down
04:42For a four-point play and again you have a big guy and leaving his feet. You're not gonna block
04:47that shot
04:49Three you've been talking about it all season long
04:51Even some guys that are smaller that think they can run out and try and block the shot
04:56And then Victor pump fakes and blows right?
04:58I mean you want to have a solid contest, right? But you don't want to fall for a ball fake
05:04We continue to see it
05:08Officials are just confirming it is three free throw attempts here
05:16First one is good
05:22Cornette at the scores table. He'll come in for Victor
05:25Next dead ball
05:27Silent play some French vanilla minutes at the end of the first half
05:36So
05:36Hold on to
05:43Well now they just changed it it's now two shots and the sub for the Phoenix Suns can't come in
05:50Oh, is he saying there's two remaining?
05:54Well, he's saying there's two remaining.
06:00I'm not sure why they stopped him.
06:02Yeah, it doesn't make a difference anyway.
06:03Did they ice him?
06:04No, they didn't.
06:05No icing.
06:11So Rashear Fleming and Jamari Bouye come in for Jordan Ott's squad.
06:15He's come in here nine games over 500, but they've lost three in a row.
06:20They're a scrappy bunch.
06:21We've seen that on the defensive end.
06:22Eleventh and defensive rating.
06:24Victor Perfect, eight of eight from the line in this one.
06:30One point here.
06:32There's a trail by 11.
06:34And a rough start shooting from the three.
06:38All right, guys have done a pretty nice job on Devin Victor.
06:43Passes it off, and the Spurs steal it.
06:47That means there's too much of a rush here.
06:50Clemming wants the lead.
06:59Fleming hit one three in the corner, but Champetti just blocked him.
07:03Julian's giving up some size, too.
07:04He still got to that shot.
07:08Harper.
07:09Victor rips through.
07:11Lost it.
07:14Bouye running.
07:16Booker.
07:19That goes around and out.
07:22That's on the line with two.
07:24Wow.
07:29So Devin Booker to the free throw line.
07:36He has scored 74 points in his last two games.
07:41Challenge.
07:44Mitch Johnson.
07:46Well, if you crowd didn't like him, when they saw it on the jumbo truck,
07:49we didn't get a second look at it.
08:00He's definitely moving out of the way Dylan Harper I don't see a lot of contact there Jacob
08:07actually I see none see if the officials say the same thing
08:14so the Spurs win the challenge but it's going to be a jump ball because
08:22you almost have to have the mindset now Jacob that on every foul you just continue
08:27and grab the loose ball that'd be a good idea because if Kelvin grabs this or
08:33Julian grabs it everybody kind of stops it then it's imminent possession
08:41you don't have a jump ball anymore so you almost have to adopt that mindset
08:47you can't put in whoever you want Victor against Malawash
08:53and maybe they'll start practicing that maybe the possession drills
08:59another one to add to the list
09:12he has the right arm up but he uses the left arm to tip it to Kelvin
09:19statistician Joe Clark's been on that since day one he uses one hand and then uses the other
09:28he's looking for the lead
09:29Wobanyama spins got fouled kept back at home
09:34but he'll get his ninth and tenth free throw attempts
09:45listen to this crowd
09:58and I would say look if he doesn't win MVP this year I think next year he's got to be
10:03the frontrunner
10:05he's got a message from Frost Bank
10:18no Kate Cunningham potentially in that race anymore
10:22FTA, Rokic, Gordon Brown, Victor
10:26it's just unfortunate for Kate Cunningham he's had a few years
10:29and he holds himself diving for a loose ball
10:32not going to meet the required amount of games
10:35that's where you're going to have a few casualties that don't make sense
10:40first lead since it was 21 to 18 for San Antonio Malawash no loose ball
10:44off in Phoenix
10:50and the officials are going to huddle here
10:52Suns players thought it was off at the Spurs
10:54and they're changing it
11:0014 seconds on the shot clock for Phoenix
11:03Romagnolo to the bench
11:05he's got a double double 25 points 10 rebounds
11:07has a miss from the free throw line
11:16Brouillet inside
11:17faded away
11:20picked up by Fox
11:21it's quickly up to St. Penny
11:22bring that back out
11:23you need to be there
11:24or don't have it
11:28done the rebound
11:29for 7 of 22 from 3 tonight
11:36Booker
11:38stepping back
11:40doing what Devin Booker does
11:4310 to the NBA in points per game
11:4431 points per game this month
11:46highest out of any NBA player
12:085

12:146
12:162
12:174
12:175
12:175
12:17Teammate Dylan Brooks in the lineup tonight.
12:22Those two become really good friends and really good teammates.
12:27Yeah, no question.
12:28Form a strong bond already.
12:30But really, the.
12:33When you talk about this game, Steph Castle would have been key here.
12:38Did a great job on Devin Booker in Austin.
12:42And he figured that he would have gotten a bulk of the load against Devin Booker.
12:46And then you can free up guys to go at Jalen Green or Gillespie.
12:51But right now, these three guys are pretty tough to stop.
12:58Booker now available in the second half of that game in Austin due to injury.
13:04Puts the suns up by three.
13:09Cornette.
13:10Now the watch met him.
13:12Put back no.
13:14Spurs only have two second chance points.
13:19Clemming.
13:22Now the watch got it ripped away from KJ.
13:26Dylan Hartford against Dunn.
13:29Fox for three.
13:32What an effort.
13:35Smart pass there from Dylan Hartford.
13:37Smell the shot blocker assistant buried down on him.
13:40It's a great pass to Devin Fox on the sideline.
13:43Can't ask for a better shot.
13:48Dunn.
13:49The Lespie.
13:54Dunn.
13:55Had to shoot it.
13:59Two minutes remaining in third quarter.
14:03KJ drives, spins, a blast, no.
14:08Here comes Booker trying to beat three spurs to the rim.
14:11And he does.
14:17Booker's got the last nine points for Phoenix.
14:24Why are you going to stop Devin Booker in this situation?
14:26I'm not sure he got away with an off on there.
14:28Maybe at the end, but it didn't extend it too much.
14:31So, you're not going to get an offensive foul called there.
14:36This uses a problem to protect his body.
14:40Booker, the last guy standing for the big three.
14:42The straightaway Kevin Durant and that big seven-team deal.
14:45They wave Bradley Beal.
14:47But this guy loves Phoenix, loves the community.
14:51They love him there.
14:52And he wants to be a part of this new era for the Suns.
14:56You know, he's one of those guys that should spend his entire career
14:59with the same franchise.
15:00Actually, it wouldn't make any sense if he wanted to go anywhere else.
15:15Pacell, inside.
15:17Little zone here from Phoenix, Sean.
15:20And Ryan's called O'Brien taking that initial shot.
15:25Oh, it's fouled.
15:28And they fell back into a zone.
15:30And Harrison Barnes immediately gets to the middle of the floor.
15:33It's a good pass to Carter.
15:35But Carter just fresh off the bench.
15:36He wants to get up and down the floor a few times.
15:39But Aaron Fox with a nice pump fake and a couple of free throws.
15:45Do you like playing zone?
15:48Well, we didn't get to play zone in the NBA.
15:52Oh, yeah, that's true.
15:53At least through my days.
15:54In college, I mean, yeah.
15:55I mean, college, yeah.
15:57I mean, zone was all right because you're in charge of an area, more or less.
16:01And so you don't have to chase your guy around screens, you know, have to battle around screens, that kind
16:07of thing.
16:08And so I think a lot of players probably would prefer to play zone unless you're taking a matchup personally.
16:14You have a guy that you just don't want him to get any good looks.
16:18He starts getting off looks against the zone and you can all get out of shape.
16:28Ryan, up on Booker.
16:33Booker just holding it.
16:36Not a lot of movement here from Phoenix.
16:39Booker misses.
16:47It's the handoff from Cornette.
16:49Devin lost it.
16:52Spurs have eight turnovers in this game.
16:57Not a problem in Sacramento.
17:01There's a slight problem in the first half against the Clippers.
17:08That's going to go into these lulls offensively where they're not moving the ball very well.
17:15Maybe you're playing a little bit too much when I win basketball.
17:17Right now, our guys are taking shots to ball as well.
17:21And gun misses.
17:26Just a bit too ahead of Devin himself.
17:30Looking to push.
17:34Ninth turnover and in the backcourt.
17:41You don't like backcourt turnovers.
17:44You know that.
17:45Cross-court pass is always dangerous.
17:48We're going to give the Wildcat a pass.
17:50Yeah.
17:51He's a rookie.
17:52So, you expect those from time to time.
17:57Going to stay in front of Booker.
17:59Hand right up.
18:00Oh, they call the foul.
18:01And he trips over Devin.
18:04He's okay.
18:05He's all good.
18:08They call the foul.
18:12That's his first.
18:16Evan Booker to the free throw.
18:18If you look at it, and let's see there.
18:23I don't like that call either, Jake.
18:25Because look at Devin Booker's feet.
18:27I mean, his feet are going toward hard.
18:31So, as you're feeling, you're pretty helpless.
18:33We can't give a guy three feet of space on a jump shot.
18:40Looker 87% from the free throw line this season and for his career.
18:45The all-time leading scorer for the Suns.
18:50He's banged up in his 12 and 15 game stretch.
18:55But he looks good tonight.
19:05Four-second difference between the shot clock and game clock.
19:08Spurs took back the lead briefly here in the third.
19:10He went to the bench and then Ben is taking the bat.
19:14Fox getting bumped along the way.
19:18Net can't get the offensive rebound.
19:19Back to Fox, who got stripped.
19:23Booker from the logo.
19:25Almost back to the end.
19:27Oh, he has more time there.
19:28That's what he had to do with it at the end of the quarter.
19:32That's what he had to do with two more dribbles.
19:34He's got to a lot closer look.
19:35All right, from here.
19:37Six-point game at the end of three.
19:39Back from the short two-game road trip.
19:42The Spurs trying to clinch a playoff spot.
19:45Going to need a big fourth quarter.
19:54And apparently people aren't the biggest fans of popcorn
19:59for the final four food fight.
20:01Yeah, 6.9% of the fans have spoken.
20:05Burgers should be there.
20:06They shouldn't.
20:07I don't want a burger from an arena.
20:09I think the fans know what they're doing.
20:12Chicken tender should be number one.
20:14But hot dogs coming in second to pizza.
20:16I don't lie, that hot dog is pretty good there.
20:18Yeah, we had some good hot dogs from the dog father.
20:20We had some good cheese.
20:26Cheesecake.
20:27Start the third quarter.
20:28For cake and cheese.
20:29Cake and cheese.
20:32I'll never be able to live that down.
20:35Yeah.
20:36Sadly, you won't.
20:38The truck won't let you.
20:41Steak and cheese isn't smelling salts.
20:45I forgot about that.
20:46I didn't.
20:49Degadara finally misses the proper shot.
20:52Or the hay mom, as Matt Bonner would say.
20:53That's right, hay mom.
21:00Fox drives, waits, and scores.
21:03Pounded and a foul.
21:07Had the big guy at his mercy.
21:11Big guys don't have big breaks normally, Jacob.
21:15Here's the ball fake.
21:16He tried to beat the smaller guy off the floor.
21:19And De'Aaron Fox gets wily underneath.
21:21Gets was cheer for living.
21:25Fox been just under 70% from two.
21:30Last 11 games.
21:32There's a three-point play there.
21:34How about this?
21:34The last time the score that wasn't Devin Booker was calling the Lesby at 8-14 in the third quarter.
21:41Booker not out there right now.
21:43Good effort there by Harrison Barnes just took back to Georgia.
21:52Champagne.
21:55De'Aaron.
21:57Right back.
21:58Champagne.
21:58Three.
21:59Good ways to move up there.
22:01Didn't really move the defense.
22:03Just kind of stayed at the top of the three-point line.
22:06Good move the purple jerseys at all.
22:10Green.
22:13That's 17.
22:24One Minyama.
22:27And a foul.
22:30Oh no, they called it a palming.
22:33I haven't seen that call in ages.
22:37Called it a carry.
22:49Seen more egregious carries for sure.
22:53Pretty much every game.
22:56It's like traveling.
23:00Not that time for Green.
23:02Loose ball.
23:02Fox has it.
23:06Lost it.
23:06But thankfully Barnes is there.
23:08McLaughlin to a cutting HB.
23:14Nice job by Jordan McLaughlin.
23:16J-Mac.
23:17All right.
23:17It comes down to getting stops on this side of the floor.
23:19Cleaning up the glass.
23:22Running.
23:22That's too open.
23:24In fact, it's a solid three-point shooter in college.
23:28Can't see those corner threes.
23:29Can't shoot a high percentage.
23:31Oh, Minyama on the spin.
23:34Lost it.
23:3512th turnover for the Spurs.
23:37Gillespie fouled.
23:46So, Gillespie to the free throw line.
23:48But how about our Methodist healthcare assist?
23:50Harrison Barnes continues to run right down the floor.
23:52He's assuming the big guys roll there.
23:55And it's a nice feed from Jordan.
23:57He's had some high-quality plays here in limited time for your Methodist healthcare assist.
24:03Jordan rarely makes a mistake.
24:05He injects energy every single time he's on the floor.
24:08And he's a really good teammate.
24:09Yeah, you don't look at his scoring numbers.
24:11You see what he brings to the table in other categories.
24:13He's got three assists in only seven minutes.
24:16And a steal and a block.
24:18A nice block from behind.
24:21The money block.
24:22Yeah, the money block it was.
24:30You will have to go and look that one up.
24:32I've seen that.
24:33Oh, you've seen it.
24:33Come on.
24:34I'm just making sure I was alive.
24:38I'm not happy.
24:44I'm not happy.
24:49We're here.
24:51Iguodoro.
24:53Bumping heads.
24:57What do you bump head to the victory in Benyama?
25:01He's going to foul victory in his face.
25:05He wanted it.
25:07The other way.
25:07Offensive.
25:08I mean, balls about it.
25:10Well, I'm going to face here.
25:14De'Aaron double.
25:15In midair.
25:17It looked like he couldn't figure out if he wanted to throw a lob to victory,
25:20but he wasn't really there.
25:21So, at the last second, he had to chunk it up there.
25:29Green pulls up.
25:31McLaughlin was there.
25:33Iguodoro, the tip didn't work.
25:35But guess who?
25:38Esky Gillespie.
25:40Who now fires.
25:43He's got two or three of those tonight.
25:48Six threes for Colin Gillespie.
25:50That's what happens, though, when you have perfect rotation on your jumper.
25:55More often than not, you're going to get that kind bounce.
25:56He's got braces.
25:58Round two, three.
26:00It's on for the main and action.
26:02KGB inside the game, and I like this action here we saw in the first half.
26:07So, here's the back screen by Julian Champagny.
26:09As Victor comes off, look at this jumbled mess here.
26:13You see the help defender, Jamie Green, stepping in there.
26:16Because when Victor comes out of this mess, right here, freeze it.
26:19He's got Colin Gillespie on him.
26:21So, there's the help defender.
26:22You throw it over the top, and then you throw it to Victor in the low block.
26:26And you can see De'Aaron Fox.
26:28He's saying throw it down low to the big guy.
26:29There's nothing Colin Gillespie can do in that situation.
26:32You're H-E-B inside the game.
26:34I'd like to see a little bit more action like that.
26:36Victor getting green with some back screens.
26:38And our guys being patient and finding him.
26:43We're going to have 18 assists tonight.
26:44I had 41 in Sacramento for a season high.
26:47Barnes, no.
26:48Omanyama cut the rebound.
26:49Loose ball foul against Phoenix.
26:52Goodwin.
26:53Phoenix down.
26:54Three.
26:55Goodwin.
26:56His first 13 foul.
27:00Watch the jersey of Wemby.
27:12Harper almost lost it.
27:14Goodwin getting low in his defensive stance.
27:31He's got the touch tonight.
27:34He's got the touch.
27:45He's got the touch tonight.
27:4613 points.
27:47Six of nine from the field.
27:49This is a game that he's right home about for him.
27:52What a great job.
27:53I mean, he got physical there.
27:54Back to Victor.
27:55And then, look, he jumped with a nice touch on it.
28:05And now it's the other rim that's not going down.
28:08It's not going down like that all night.
28:10It's 7 of 27 from three.
28:13And that's why you're going to have nights like that where the ball just won't go down.
28:18That's why your defense has got to remain consistent.
28:22That one was off of green.
28:23So, Spurs basketball.
28:2514 seconds on the shot clock.
28:2715 seconds on the shot clock.
28:57And win this ball game tonight because this could be your first-round opponent.
29:01And we're seeing a not-white playoff defense, but it's going to be close.
29:05They're going to turn the volume up if they see our guys in the first round.
29:09And this Phoenix Sun squad isn't even healthy right now.
29:11They're missing five of their key rotation guys.
29:14Gillespie off the mark.
29:15McGlofflin rebound.
29:16Loving the energy this guy's brought tonight.
29:19Jay Mack out.
29:20Champagne three.
29:21Good.
29:23Champagne three.
29:24All started from Jordan McGlofflin.
29:27One time he's got in the game this year, he's done something positive.
29:31Good job pushing the break there in the middle of traffic.
29:34Doesn't turn it over.
29:37Wimbanyama just whips it down.
29:45Gets it right back from Champagne.
29:49Wimbanyama up and under.
29:50Oh, my goodness.
29:51He's at the rim tonight.
30:00Six-minute mark of the fourth quarter.
30:04Phoenix is led by as many as 11.
30:05It's been a struggle from three.
30:07And the turnover department for San Antonio tonight.
30:10The miss put back by Dunn.
30:13And then a backcourt foul on Phoenix.
30:16Phoenix foul on the 23-4-4-4 in the second routine.
30:21Wimbanyama coming out.
30:22For Neff did.
30:25For Victor Wimbanyama.
30:26Catching finger roll.
30:27Jordan McGlofflin.
30:28Going to make the scores from 24.
30:30Devin Roussel for Jordan.
30:32Wimbanyama.
30:32Oh, I mean, that's world class right there.
30:35Great pass from Dewey.
30:37And the defender.
30:39Spurter.
30:39There's a great position.
30:41Just gets out length there.
30:44Too much length and you're going to be out of too much touch.
30:46Too much time.
30:50Harper.
30:52That's a foul.
30:53Second in the last three possessions or so for the Spurters.
30:56That's a foul.
30:57I'm going to tell you a little.
30:59I'm going to go in half for a second.
31:09Just.
31:11Defense.
31:13I don't know.
31:13If you can play out time, that might be a no-call.
31:20Goodwin.
31:22Back out for Devin Booker.
31:24He got hot in the third.
31:26And he springs free again.
31:28Booker up to 22.
31:31Booker, Gillespie, and Green having a night.
31:35Devin Roussel fighting so hard if he doesn't book off the screen.
31:39And Devin makes a right read there and goes back to him.
31:44Roussel.
31:45Missing a three.
31:47Least ball foul.
31:49That's against Iguodaro.
31:52His fourth.
31:55So, Cornette gets free throws here.
31:58Cornette shooting two.
32:14First week they're good.
32:15Good chance to win four courtside tickets versus the Sixers on April 6th.
32:19The VIP experience includes front row seats, authentic jerseys and more.
32:22Entered to win the Texas lottery courtside.
32:25Play cash, cash, scratch tickets.
32:30Back here inside of the Frostbank Center.
32:34it's a potential playoff matchup and you want to take advantage of it
32:41and show the sons what you're made of here
32:46cornett one free throw
32:52that's either way jacob you're gonna have two teams that
32:56you're most likely to face in that first round the clippers and the sons
33:01over the last two games you played against him you're gonna come out and
33:05come out of each game so do you come out of this game with a little bit of
33:09confidence just like the clippers did and they made their come back in L.A.

34:49garden
34:50De'Aaron Fox so far from the basket
34:53and De'Aaron's had his way a few times with the big guy
34:56and then there's a nice recovery using all that lane to get to the block
35:03Fox decide what to do with it sends it out to number one
35:07who drains it
35:09onto a pass
35:12timeout Phoenix

35:14we know one thing about Victor
35:15he makes him in the fourth
35:17in the games on the line he shows a lot more focus
35:19he had a lot of time to look at that one
35:26crowd on their feet
35:29like what they see the last couple minutes
35:33miscommunication
35:40right there
35:41and that's the easy pass back to victory

36:09he's gone after a lot of him though

36:14he's had himself a nice game
36:20Jackal's trying to pump out this crowd

46:09you swipe
46:10you play passing lanes

47:49after the
47:50play was stopped
47:51I don't know if they're discussing about that
47:52I think Phil Harbour's son just flipped it backwards
47:54and hit him in the head
47:55some of the Spurs assisted
47:57some players were upset about it
48:03let's go back to that Jalen Green play

52:42Oh, that's what we talked about, Jacob.
52:44He makes them when they matter.
52:48I got me a little nervous there.
52:50We're in the clock all the way down.
52:54But how about that mid-range jumper that hits knocking at the bottom?
53:05How about the fans who stuck around, they're about to be rewarded.
53:08That's weird.
53:29Wemby puts his stamp on this one.
53:3434 points.
53:35And the game winner.
53:37And this is what MVPs do.
53:40Clock is running down.
53:42Nice and calm.
53:44Races right over the top of Iguodoro.
53:47You put that on your MVP resume tape all day.
53:52What a shot by Victor Induyama,
53:54securing a playoff berth for the first time in a long time.
53:58Nate Ryan's with the MVP.
54:00Victor, you hear the crowd.
54:02You hear your teammates.
54:05MVP, what are you up to say?
54:08I got one spill on me.
54:11Everybody's chanting.
54:12I'm with my brothers right here.
54:13We're just happy.
54:14That clock's winding down.
54:16Five, six, four.
54:17And you're waiting for your shot.
54:19Then you let it go.
54:20What's going through your head as that clock's going down?
54:22Got the ball to the basket.
54:24All right.
54:25Lastly, this crowd and this atmosphere.
54:27The playoffs are getting closer.
54:29And a performance like that to come back.
54:31What's it say about this team?
54:33We haven't had a game like this in a while.
54:35Feels good to know this and got it.
54:37What do we all have to say for ourselves?
54:39Who is this guy?
54:41MVP!
54:44MVP!
54:47Let's go!
54:53Is there anything else to say, Jacob Tobi?
54:58He's awesome.
54:59That guy is unbelievable.
55:03Well, we talked about it at the start of the telecast.
55:06He's gonna have to have some dominant performances coming down the stretch.
55:09And that's exactly what we got.
55:13Let's go to Kelton.
55:19I know it's been a long time, but Spurs family.
55:23I got one chance before we take it in.
55:28MVP, MVP, MVP, MVP, MVP, MVP, MVP, MVP.
55:40One, two, three, go Spurs, go.
55:56This city has been starving, and they're getting fed to playoff basketball in a month.
56:03The fans have been incredibly loyal throughout the years, and they're about to be rewarded.
56:09Fun times are here again.
56:13The biggest shot of his career, victor, the finishing touch.
56:18We're back to wrap it up.
56:19We're back to wrap it up.
