00:00Fox with Ed Molloy.
00:04But the Seas still have a slight lead as we go to the locker room.
00:09Oh man, Joe is pure fun.
00:12You're the Dragon.
00:13Haptop show next.
00:19Pritchard off the cross.
00:21Filthy ball handling.
00:22Peyton Pritchard for two.
00:24You ain't seen that on the lacrosse field, Drew Carter.
00:30The Sights and Sounds are brought to you by TD.
00:35Yeah, Peyton Pritchard.
00:37Good start for the Celtics.
00:39One point lead over the Grizzlies.
00:40We start the third quarter here at FedEx Forum.
00:44It's time to hear from the coaches at halftime.
00:46What you got, Abby?
00:47Speaking with lead assistant Sam Cassell,
00:50I said these Grizzlies are playing hard.
00:52And he told me that's their makeup.
00:53When they're shorthanded like this, this is the way they want to play.
00:57So we have just got to continue to match that.
01:00Offensively, he said, we took 25 threes.
01:02I feel like 23 of those were great shots.
01:04We've just got to make those now here in the second half.
01:09And Peyton Pritchard still talking to Ed Malloy about that offensive foul they called at the end of the first
01:15half,
01:16which had Joe Mazzula up in arms.
01:19Pritchard making his case.
01:21They come to an understanding.
01:22Let's check the first half stats by Jason Stone Injury Lawyers.
01:25It's the official injury law firm of the Boston Celtics.
01:28Injured?
01:29Better phone stone.
01:30For us, it's more about the three-point shooting.
01:32Only shooting 24% from three.
01:36But everything else, I think we're playing pretty good basketball.
01:39Getting to the free throw line.
01:40Hitting the offensive glass.
01:42Offensive rebound percentage of 37%.
01:44That's a lot in the NBA.
01:46You get over a third of the misses.
01:48But eventually, we've got to make shots.
01:50And eventually, these people here came to see Jason Tatum.
01:55Kind of get my man going.
01:58JT, one for ten.
02:00And one for seven on threes in the first half.
02:07Here is Jerome, matched up with Hauser.
02:13Javon Small, the quick move.
02:15Sets up Omax Prosper for three.
02:18That was a good look for the Grizzlies out of the break.
02:21Prosper on the year is above 40%.
02:23Limited volume, though.
02:26Celts with 13 games left in the regular season, including this one.
02:30Four games behind Detroit for the top spot in the East.
02:34Brown, after a couple of pumps, gets the bounce.
02:37Another bucket where pretty good defense is Jalen Brown's is that good.
02:43I like Jalen Brown making shots into mid-range.
02:46Hope it seems up for us.
02:54Four rebounds for Tatum.
02:56Leads to a white three that's well off.
03:00Just three points for Derek White tonight.
03:04Jerome, the pocket pass to Prosper.
03:07There's what you were talking about with Jerome in the pick-and-roll and Prosper Explosive.
03:12Yeah, I mean, he caught that on the free-throw line.
03:15Two steps and went up with it.
03:21Yeah, Jerome is ridiculous in the pick-and-roll.
03:24Believe in that.
03:25He was outside the free-throw line when he caught that.
03:31That was the third foul on Amish Keita.
03:33Derek White was trying to claim the foul for himself.
03:35Would have been his first, but it's three on Nemi.
03:45That's a big thing for Biggs.
03:47Being able to be in the drop coverage.
03:51I mean, come over and block a shot.
03:53And a pass like that is made.
03:57That's why the Spurs, they got that guy to do that.
04:01He erases all those things.
04:05Spurs just clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2019.
04:12Off the Brown miss.
04:14Here comes Memphis.
04:16Jerome operates.
04:17Celtics collapse on him.
04:25It is Jerome nearly blocked by Tatum.
04:28Good contest from JT, and Brown ends up with him.
04:36High screen from Tata.
04:38Oh, what a roll.
04:42Man.
04:43Take that thing back from half court when we watch that.
04:46Jalen Brown doing work.
04:49He is laser-focused on this play.
04:55Come up.
04:56Here is one.
04:57Boom.
04:58Comes off.
04:58Hits it again.
04:59Spin, and then the spin, and the finish.
05:02Tough.
05:07JB's got 20.
05:09Six of six at the line.
05:12Plus five rebounds and three assists.
05:16After Hauser's first foul, here's Jerome.
05:19Walks it down.
05:20Gives it to Prosper.
05:21He got stuffed by Tatum.
05:22That's not a foul.
05:23We will see a green light special here.
05:25Yeah, that was all ball.
05:27We will see a green light special.
05:30I am predicting a green light special.
05:33The only problem is, was there a push here?
05:36Are we getting nice as possible?
05:37No, maybe not.
05:39I'm not.
05:39That was a bad prediction.
05:43Don't listen to me.
05:44They're not going to hit the green light special on that play.
05:48From here, it looked like he got all ball.
05:50Absolutely.
05:51You didn't see the replay, though.
05:52You're like, no, he didn't.
05:52And Tatum was furious about the call.
05:55But on the replay, it would have been tough to overturn because he did have that hand on the back.
06:02Scal, I love when you admit when you were wrong.
06:04It's classic Pisces energy for me.
06:07No, I'm not a Pisces.
06:08Sagittarius.
06:08Mrs. Scal, he said, I'm an Aries.
06:12Aries, sure.
06:13March 18th, right?
06:15No, I know, but I was born early, so I had to get out of there.
06:18What does that have to do?
06:21I'm actually not, you know, it's because I was born that day.
06:24Here's Hendricks.
06:26White slaps down, and Hendricks with a chance at an end one.
06:29Yeah, this is the same thing that happened in the first quarter with the Celtic turnovers.
06:34And Memphis speeds off of those turnovers.
06:37They did it in Denver.
06:40You know, you rarely see Derek White get his pocket picked.
06:43And there's the slap, and Hendricks finishes it off.
06:51No, you got to redo the whole our relationship thing.
06:56I don't trend into Pisces at all.
06:58Based on the signs?
06:59Yeah, I don't trend like that.
07:02Were you born early because you had to make it out for an appearance?
07:09Yeah.
07:10You had a chance to make some money.
07:11You're like, let me out, let me out.
07:15That'll make the starting lineup on Monday.
07:20Let's see, what is that?
07:219-13, second quarter.
07:23I got you.
07:24Zach Warren.
07:26Here is Jerome on the shovel to prosper.
07:29Three-point Grizzlies lead.
07:31Derek is playing good.
07:33I mean, they're doing a lot of things.
07:34That baseline cut.
07:36They're driving.
07:37Look at their defensive pressure.
07:38Look at their pickup points.
07:41We need this stuff to happen, right?
07:43Yes.
07:43There we go.
07:44Tatum cashes in.
07:47That's talent erases all that hard playing, cutting, and all that.
07:52Our guys, our talented guys, world-class guys, time for them guys to do their thing.
07:59Hendricks on the cut.
08:00Another assist for Ty Jerome.
08:07That's five dimes for Ty Jerome, seventh-year pro.
08:11Had a career-high nine the other night against Denver.
08:13Brown in the spin cycle.
08:15Didn't get the roll.
08:16Foul, though, on Memphis.
08:17Is Kata working for the offensive board?
08:22Man, I can't believe he missed this.
08:23This is like, Kata Brown usually did not miss this shot, but love the footwork.
08:28Love the easy layup.
08:31There's a little foul.
08:34I need, I need, like, a Tatum Brown explosion in the second half.
08:42Here's JT, top of the key.
08:44Oh, no.
08:45Heading by Small.
08:46He was tripped up.
08:49Tatum looks to be all right.
08:54I need to see that one again.
08:57Small went for the steal.
08:59Tatum usually makes good contact on this play, so take a look.
09:04Ooh.
09:04Thank you very much.
09:05This is Tatum.
09:10Can't be saying, oh, no, like that.
09:12Well, no.
09:12Get everybody worried.
09:13I mean, listen, it doesn't really matter what I say.
09:16We get to, we get, 10 seconds later, we'll get to see.
09:20That's just my reaction when I see plays like that.
09:24And I don't want to see anybody get hurt.
09:27So, I'm like that with everybody.
09:28Was that one of those where Tatum's kind of looking for the bump?
09:32Oh, no.
09:32Goes underneath.
09:33I think if I was just analyzing that play, usually when he rips that ball right,
09:39there's so much force that he gets by the guy and he bumps him.
09:42That time he just didn't get by Small.
09:44So, when he went for contact, Small was a little bit ahead of him now.
09:51Game is tied for the 14th time.
09:54Oh, Jerome, sick pass to Spencer for three.
09:57That was a sick pass.
09:59I thought he's going to throw it back.
10:01Joe's going to, I know what Joe's going to talk about.
10:04Those margins that we usually dominate, we're not dominating them right now.
10:09It was a two.
10:09Grizzlies with the lead.
10:12The back feels like the Celtics are back in the grindhouse.
10:15Down two here in the third quarter.
10:17Nikola Vucevic is here with the team in Memphis.
10:21Tomorrow marks two weeks since the Celtics' big man had surgery
10:25on that fractured ring finger of his shooting hand.
10:27We got a chance to speak with him today after a shoot round for the first time since the injury
10:32occurred.
10:32And he was in good spirits.
10:34He said, taking it for what it is.
10:36The key takeaway, though, for me, though, is that everything is progressing on schedule.
10:40Vuce said he is expected to get another X-ray on that finger at week three.
10:45And hopefully, if all of those signs look good, he'll be able to get back on the court and take
10:50the brace off.
10:51Excuse me.
10:51Sorry.
10:52Ed Molloy.
10:52Kicking me off the floor.
10:53He does have to wear a brace on that hand all the time right now until they get that second
10:58X-ray so that it can heal up.
11:00So, unfortunately, he's not able to attack that finger rehab just yet.
11:05But he is able to be on the floor and do things with his offhand, keep up his conditioning.
11:10He's maintaining his communication with the coaching staff and with the players, which is why he's here with the team
11:16in Memphis.
11:17But so far, all signs are looking good.
11:19But he hopes to be back with a few games left in the regular season so he can get out
11:23there on the floor with Jason Tatum, try to establish some rhythm before the postseason.
11:27All right, Abby.
11:27When does he get to attack that rehab?
11:30Attack that rehab with the ring finger.
11:32When does that happen?
11:34Yes.
11:34So, after three weeks, he hopes that he'll be cleared for contact to start doing stuff with that hand.
11:39I can't wait.
11:39I can't wait for that hit.
11:41Right now, he's sleeping with that brace on just in case he has dreams of swiping for steals or going
11:46for rebounds.
11:49Do you ever have that, Scal?
11:51You have basketball.
11:52You have hoop dreams, if you will.
11:54Not anymore.
11:55Get injured.
11:57Not anymore.
11:58Those days are long gone, Drew.
12:00You know you're washed, but you don't even dream about it anymore.
12:04You just dream of your next appearance.
12:07All right, now you're taking it too far.
12:09Here's Jerome.
12:11Front rims it.
12:12Spencer, the offensive rebound.
12:15Celtics getting a battle here from the Grizzlies.
12:17That team that is basically out of playoff.
12:20Oh, get that out.
12:21Hauser rejects Jerome.
12:24Jalen Wells has that rattle out.
12:29Not sure what happened to the Virginia family there.
12:32As Tatum goes in.
12:34Cata, the cleanup.
12:35Keep driving it.
12:37Yeah, I'll take this all day.
12:39I don't care if he misses, if he fouls.
12:41Keep driving.
12:43Keep driving, Jason Tatum.
12:45Real quick timeout for Memphis as the Celtics cup on top styles from the hottest brands,
12:50including Fanatics, Nike, New Era, and more.
12:53Visit Celticsstore.com today.
12:57All right, so a lot of talk about Jason Tatum getting fouled on this play, but watch the drive.
13:02Goes strong.
13:05Oh, he does get hit in the arm right there.
13:07Cata follows it.
13:08He'd be dominating the glass.
13:10But JT just got to keep driving the ball.
13:13Keep driving it.
13:14Keep getting to your stuff.
13:17I think everyone's cool.
13:18Like, just keep going.
13:21We know where we want to go.
13:22We know what we need.
13:23And the only way to get there is for him to be great.
13:29And Spencer for three puts Memphis back in front.
13:33Jerome and Spencer, man.
13:34They're tough.
13:37Two guys who do not back down.
13:47Tatum out top.
13:48Picked up by Jerome.
13:52On the isolation.
13:53Jason Tatum steps through.
13:54Kicks it out.
13:55Hauser has to hoist.
13:57The step back.
13:59Cata, the offensive rebound.
14:02And I don't know if Hauser got that away, but a fresh possession for the Celtics.
14:08Jerome shaded over.
14:09Hauser's the open man.
14:12That was halfway down.
14:17Seltzer, 7 of 31 from beyond the arc.
14:20Below 23%.
14:23It's Jerome.
14:24On the cross.
14:25The bank.
14:26No.
14:27K to the rebound.
14:28That's a double-double for Demish K to 12 and 10.
14:31He hasn't missed a shot.
14:334 for 4 from the field and from the line.
14:42Fence.
14:42Out with a ball and lays it in.
14:49Kane is going to hand that off to the first guy.
14:53Brown, the spin.
14:54Can't finish.
14:55Blocked by Hendricks again.
14:57He started at quote unquote center.
14:59This is a small group for the Grizzlies without a traditional 5.
15:04Spencer for three timeout Joe Missoula
15:07Camp Spencer is making bugging this Celtics bench and the Grizzlies have their largest lead
15:12We have to find what our rhythm is gonna be this Memphis Grizzly team is not backing down
15:23So right now as soon as you can hand this off, it's got to be quick
15:28Everything taking too long
15:30Gotta go quick and Burton
15:35And can Spencer hit the three that led to the Joe Missoula timeout
15:38Grizzlies with their largest lead tonight
15:41As Brown taking matters into his own hands drops it in
15:47We'll see the difference that guards are being out there will make
15:53Different positions in Jada, maybe you'll open the floor up just a bit
16:00Giroux over Garza for two
16:03We're just not guarding at a high enough level right now
16:13Tatum
16:13Out to pitcher
16:16Nice find by JT
16:18The Celtics just not shooting it well from downtown 7 of 32
16:23The low 22%
16:25The low 22%
16:31Houser, good defense on Giroux got it back
16:33Cross for corner three
16:40Jason Tatum with six rebounds
16:42Jason Tatum with six rebounds
16:42Celtics are a plus ten on the glass
16:49Nice entry, Pritchard to Brown and he splashes a fadeaway
16:52No foul, he got bumped there on that fadeaway
17:00Gotta keep beating the beast
17:07Tatum another rebound
17:12This has to hit Brown's hands at some point on this possession
17:16Picked up by Burton
17:21Brown on the dance floor
17:23Got a step and got fouled
17:25It's on the floor so no continuation
17:31I thought that was I thought he got bumped on this plate
17:34There's the defense
17:36Eh, just a little bit of hands
17:38A little more egregious from my angle
17:47JB four points away from hitting 30
17:49For the fourth time in his last five games
17:58Dan Burton working hard to defend Brown
18:01Switched on to Clayton now
18:02Late shot clock for JB, likes the matchup
18:05Get to his spot, out to Pritchard
18:09Yes!
18:10Not only JB getting buckets
18:12Now he's getting people around him wide open
18:14Drawing three defenders into paint on that possession
18:26Ah, Brown
18:28Reckless on the closeout
18:32Burton went in to Brown
18:34Who might have taken the worst of that
18:35It's not a shooting foul
18:36But Grizzlies in the bonus
18:37Two shots
18:40Here we go
18:42Let's take a look
18:43So Jalen Brown just elevates
18:46Ooh, man
18:47Right in his shoulder
18:50Fire
18:50Burton
18:51She needs it
18:54Burton kind of crouched down
18:56And went into Brown
18:59JB was fading a little bit toward him
19:04It means almost impossible to go straight at the ground
19:06Here's a message from our sister station
19:08NBC10 Boston
19:10Thank you guys
19:11We've got a first alert issued for Monday
19:13Kicking out the week with some snow
19:14I'll break down the whole forecast tonight at 11 over on NBC10 Boston
19:20This
19:22Such a downer
19:24This guy right here
19:26This one time, Pete
19:28Give us good snow
19:30Come here clear of that
19:32I took the gas out of the snowblower just
19:35Weekend
19:37It's supposed to be nice tomorrow I thought
19:39Going for a long run
19:41Marathon training continues
19:43Celtics.com slash
19:44Drew runs Boston
19:47Kept the handle
19:49Garza
19:49Oh
19:50Miscuit got it back
19:52Look up Garza
19:53A lot of the fans want to travel
19:56But he kept that left pivot foot down
20:00Cross
20:00Oh Garza
20:01Oh Garza
20:02Goes straight up
20:03Garza
20:04With a rule of verticality
20:07Using that
20:10Pritchard calls for it
20:12Now he drives
20:13Trying to bounce it inside to Garza
20:17Off the turnover
20:18It's Giroux
20:19And one
20:21All night long
20:22Every time we've turned the ball over
20:24Memphis has looked to push the ball
20:25Get easy baskets
20:32You follow
20:33Knows exactly how to win these games
20:35And you don't have as much talent
20:37You gotta try to get
20:38As many easy baskets as you can get
20:40And you do it off of defense
20:46Grizzlies are top ten in the league
20:48In turnovers forced
20:50Nearly sixteen per game
20:52They forced ten Celtics turnovers tonight
20:59Leading to sixteen points
21:05Still a three point lead
21:08Not touched
21:09That's
21:09This leaves ball
21:11And a rarity
21:12Back-to-back turnovers for Pritchard
21:28Under two minutes to play in the third
21:30Clayton's pass too hot for Giroux
21:39Blunky possession here for Memphis
21:42It's Burton with three to shoot
21:44Oh
21:45Out of the air again
21:47Another foul
21:5223 and six
21:53Of a second
21:55Of great defense
21:56Multiple efforts
21:58And he left his feet late
22:02Burton will get two out of it
22:04Man
22:10Brown exerting so much energy
22:13On offense
22:16It's a mental mistake there
22:18Puts Burton at the line
22:22And I was just saying about that
22:23Possession
22:24The Celtics kind of recognize the situation
22:27You know they want to end the quarter as well
22:29They've elevated their defense
22:31They're just waiting to talk to the foul
22:35Whether he rooted against the Celtics
22:37Or rooted for the Celtics as a kid or not
22:39Tyler Burton has saved his best
22:41Playing against the Seas
22:42He had 20 points
22:44In his NBA career
22:46Coming into this game
22:47He has 20 points
22:48Tonight
22:55And he just got hung by his teammate
22:58And he did the whole
22:59I'm going to high five myself
23:04We've all been there
23:05Oh come on
23:06Everybody's been there
23:07Many times
23:08Yeah
23:11And the Brown got some blood
23:16Pritchard hits the first
23:24And they'll stop the game for a second
23:25To check on Brown
23:26It's blood from his nose
23:31Stick to right in his nose
23:33There we go
23:36Celtics said athletic trainer
23:37Drew Moore
23:38Make sure JB is good to go
23:56Richard makes it a one possession game
24:05Clayton stops on a dime
24:06Missed the shot
24:07Garza the rebound
24:12Taylor Sharman pushes tempo
24:14Missed his best friend
24:15Hugo Gonzalez on the cut
24:19Garza called for the offensive foul
24:24Second on Luka
24:25Pritchard's got to shoot that thing
24:27Man I mean
24:28Guy goes underneath Peyton Pritchard
24:30You make a pay
24:31It's no hesitation
24:33That thing is gone
24:34Now they can still call a foul
24:36But I guarantee if he makes it
24:38He won't go underneath again
24:45Small snaps it back
24:46Hits the three
24:52Seltzer
24:53Handle this right
24:54He'll shoot late
24:55In the shot clock
24:57He'll play the two for one
25:08There's Ugo in the corner
25:10Bullseye
25:13Good patience by Brown
25:15Good job by Ugo
25:16Being
25:17Getting his feet right
25:18To knock down that three
25:20He gave it back to Brown
25:22Then called for it
25:24On the JV drive
25:25As Giroux has the answer
25:28Dijon Giroux was 0 for 3
25:30On threes coming into this game
25:33His first one of the year
25:38A depleted Grizzlies team
25:41Going deep
25:42Into their roster
25:44They lead the Celtics by 6
25:45Could be the last shot of the quarter
25:47Brown makes his move
25:49Barrels through Clayton
25:50Garza got a hand on it
25:52Foul on Memphis
25:53On the rebound
26:01Take a look
26:01I thought Clayton had pretty good
26:04Positioning
26:05But I like the no call
26:06Garza's right there
26:07A little push in the back
26:08Garza will get two
26:13Richard has three
26:14And Brown has three
26:16It's 3.1
26:17So maybe Joe's not worried about that
26:19But if he wanted to
26:20He could get those guys
26:21Out of the game
26:39Luka made sure he high-fived
26:40Everybody
26:40Before the free throw
26:42Between the free throws
26:47He is a high-energy guy
26:51What an addition for the Celtics
26:52In the offseason
26:53Three seconds left
26:54In the third
26:55Careful here
26:56Small just flings it
26:57With his left hand
26:59And it's a four-point game
27:00As we go to the fourth
27:02Memphis here to play
27:03Something's got to
27:04Take care of the ball
27:05In this fourth quarter
27:06Because Memphis
27:07Has capitalized on that
27:11Well it's been a rough season
27:13For the Grizzlies
27:14This could be
27:15A signature win
27:17That's what they're playing for
27:18Celtics
27:19Playing for positioning
27:20Down by four
27:21Fourth quarter
27:22Coming up next
27:25For the Celtics
27:26With 12
27:27Minutes
27:28To play
27:29Time for the road to victory
27:30Brought to you by Sullivan Tire
27:31We're always here
27:32To get you there
27:32You've got to take care of the ball
27:34And you've got to handle
27:35The pick and rolls
27:35With Jerome and Cam Spencer
27:40There is a foul on Memphis
27:4213 seconds in
27:43It's on Jerome
27:44Let's check the stats
27:44Three by Jason Stone
27:46Injury lawyers
27:46Official injury law firm
27:48Of the Boston Celtics
27:49Injured
27:50Better found Stone
27:51The turnovers are killing us
27:53But the offensive rebounds
27:54Are killing Memphis
27:55So we'll see what breaks here
27:57In the fourth quarter
27:59Celtics start the fourth quarter
28:01Without Brown or Tatum
28:02On the floor
28:03It's Garza
28:04It's a three
28:06That is a tough shot
28:07It's a lot harder
28:09Than people think
28:09To catch the ball
28:10From half court
28:12Turn
28:12And fire
28:14Good shot by Garza
28:18Luca scoring a lot
28:20Lately
28:2015 in two of his last three games
28:22He's got 14 tonight
28:24Here's Jerome
28:25Over to Jalen Wells
28:28Can't respond
28:31Prosper nearly had the rebound
28:33But Celtics with a chance
28:34To take the lead
28:46Shireman
28:46Gets to that left hand
28:48Out to Pritchard
28:59Smalls made a couple
29:00From deep
29:04Right to Jerome
29:05On the offensive glass
29:06And that's smooth
29:07That's too easy
29:09You got a catch right there
29:10At the free throw line
29:11That's way too easy
29:12Off the offensive glass
29:16Jerome
29:16One of seven grizzlies
29:18In double figures
29:19Now three of them
29:19Off the bench
29:20As White bounces it in
29:21It'll be nice
29:22To see Derek White
29:23Get going here
29:28Just his second bucket
29:30Of the game
29:31Five points
29:32Two for six
29:33Shooting
29:33Three for six
29:45Oh
29:45And Jerome
29:51Nicelli
29:52That was a tough shot
29:54Nicelli was either bowling
29:56Or bocce ball
29:57I'm not sure
30:00Richard in the paint
30:02back to white looking to get himself going
30:09wow what a swipe to garza that's unreal read a good cut by garza and garza really knows how
30:18to play and where to be on the floor gotta stop jerome on this possession
30:25ugo called for the foul but derek white
30:28is honestly really has nowhere to go good job by garza making himself available
30:46jerome feeling it shireman stands him up no way crazy shot no way and it's a crazy shot
30:55i don't know if you can play better defense than that
31:01wells the steal and this will be a pick six

31:32on ugo and drew you tell me there's a step back what is this it might be a that might
31:41be a grenade
31:42pulled the pin pulled the pin pulled the pin pulled the pin pulled the pin rolled out too
31:44pulled the pin pulled it out oh it might be
31:47i think what
31:48what is with the grizzlies guards and
31:52GI job
31:56i'll say when when john did that celebration it was pretty cool with the
32:01how the grenadeенное hands over his ears
32:03as a great
32:04as a real grenade it caught a flash grenade yes of course
32:09white beat the horn but missed the shot
32:12So Joe Mazzua calls timeout no no ground no Tatum. These guys got to figure it out. Yep
32:18Shireman draws the foul on the Prosper screen
32:22Celtics by the way have
32:25Two timeouts remaining with 839 to go
32:33Little bit wide there Shireman do it
32:38Big offensive possession right here
32:42The Celtics uncharacteristically loose with the ball tonight 13 turnovers
32:47They are playing a Grizzlies team that turned Nikola Jokic over ten times the other night
32:52And Derek White bounces it home. And that all starts because Garza had a phenomenal
32:58Flip and roll. He was rolling before White even caught the ball
33:06Jerome missed it Gonzalez the rebound. I'd run that same play again
33:15White pulls
33:19Derrick White Joe Mazzua calls timeout challenges Derrick White and I'm not bringing in Tatum and Brown to save you.
33:25You go figure it out

34:17Ty Jerome for general for Memphis gets it back here
34:22Oh, I've been going step first with him Jerome from the elbow missed it good defense
34:29Ty Jerome, he's like a slow motion to put a horn player. He's pretty good in the isolation and in
34:35the pick-and-roll
34:36White to the basket to tie the game
34:40You knew Derek White was gonna respond
34:45Each team has two timeouts left the media's mandatories are gone

36:32Here comes Brown and Tatum
36:35Up by one
36:36The bench did what they were supposed to do
36:38Joe Matula trusted them
36:40They worked down by seven
36:43And they got all the way to up by one
36:46Now it's time for the Stars to close this game out
36:49Test one two
36:50And Garza still in the game
36:52Test one two
36:54Under six to play in the final quarter
36:56Hey coach
36:58Checking
36:59Here's Giroux
37:00And he gets the home roll
37:02I think he'll live with that
37:03A guy going to isolation
37:04Garza has to pressure up just a little bit more
37:07I think they're fine with that
37:09Check one two
37:10One two one two
37:17It's White
37:19Shireman with a big offensive rebound
37:22He has been all over the boards in the last couple of weeks
37:25Brown the drive
37:27And the finish
37:28Man the patience on this play
37:30He was looking for a gap
37:32It came open late
37:34And he hit that gap right to the basket
37:40Celtics back up by one
37:41As Spencer hits Clayton
37:43Out to Burton
37:44White closing the gap
37:46Nearly got the block
37:47Burton missed the shot
37:48Shireman all over the glass
37:50The final five minutes are presented by Eastern Bank
37:53Join us for good
37:54Oh yeah
37:55And one
37:58Derek White woke up after that timeout from Joe Mazzula
38:05White is aggressive
38:07In transition looking
38:08Now watch the contact right here
38:11Mr. Derek White we know and love
38:18It doesn't matter with him
38:19He can go the whole game
38:21Fourth quarter
38:22It's going to be a
38:23Contentious game
38:24Derek White is 100%
38:26Going to be about that life
38:35Almost had the rebound
38:36Off his own miss
38:37And he creates another possession
38:38For the Souths
38:40The Grizzlies are up in arms
38:43But they don't have a challenge
38:45They lost one in the first half
38:46Now Andy Nagy says
38:47My mistake
38:48And it's Grizzlies ball
38:49This is what it says
38:51It's Grizzlies ball
38:53Oh yeah
39:10Walter Clayt comes up short
39:11Brown the rebound
39:13Seltz trying to win a game
39:14Where they're shooting 28% from downtown
39:20Look at the shooting in the fourth
39:22A lot of that has been Derek White
39:24Brown on the handle
39:26The fadeaway
39:26It's good
39:27It's nasty
39:29Another 30 ball for Jalen Brown
39:33You can't stop him
39:35No matter what you do defensively
39:38He can get a great shot off
39:42He has hit 30 for the fourth time
39:44In his last five games
39:47Giroux with time to think
39:49Missed the three
39:50Tatum the rebound
39:51Giroux is limping
39:52Go get him in the coverage
39:58A foul on Burton
39:59As he was tied up with Tatum
40:04Watch this play by Jalen Brown
40:07And this is really good defense
40:10He's waiting
40:11They need his drips away
40:14He's not affected by the defense
40:16He's not affected by the health
40:18And he has every shot for every opportunity
40:25They got Giroux out of the game
40:27Small returns for Memphis
40:30Tatum got it back and laid it in
40:34He'll take it
40:3819-5 in the last five minutes
40:42Now Clayton a wild pass
40:44Small wasn't ready for it
40:45Celtics with the ball
40:46And a seven point lead
40:52This is the run Joe Mazzula was looking for
40:55This is what the Celtics fans
40:56Who made the trip to Memphis
40:58Or live in the area
40:59We're hoping to see
41:00When they filled up
41:01This building with Green
41:17Tatum the flash
41:18Out to White
41:20I thought that was down
41:23That swirled out
41:24White has dominated this fourth
41:27Three minutes to play
41:31Spencer
41:36Celtics in control
41:43Brown
41:43On the iso with Prosper
41:47JB snaps it back
41:49Out to White
41:51Back to back misses
41:56Memphis trying to build off their win
41:58Over Denver Wednesday
42:00White got the steal
42:05Ridiculous number of winning plays
42:07From Derek White
42:15Tatum at the wheel
42:16Burton defends him
42:19JT
42:19Free throw line jumper
42:22Garza the offensive rebound
42:25It is all Celtics
42:27Down the stretch
42:28With two minutes to play
42:29Just need to settle
42:30And get good space
42:31There's the double on Brown
42:33White kick it
42:34Tatum
42:36Oh my goodness
42:38Luka Garza's a beast
42:39Shireman on the feed
42:41From Brown
42:43Luka Garza
42:44Derek White
42:45Shireman
42:46The role players in this team
42:48Unbelievable
42:49Making huge plays
42:52The Celtics would not be denied
42:55On that trip
42:56Luka Garza
42:57With the offensive rebounds
43:00They've earned this rest
43:03Good shot
43:04Garza's right there
43:05Shireman was right next to it
43:07And then the bullet pass
43:09Right to Shireman
43:10As he lays it up
43:18The Celtics next game
43:20Sunday versus the Timberwolves
43:21Our pre-half and post-game coverage
43:23Starts at 7 o'clock
43:24With pre-game live
43:25Stream all our coverage
43:26On the NBC Sports app
43:27Thanks for your New England
43:28Cadillac dealers
43:30Official luxury vehicle
43:31Of the Boston Celtics
43:35Anthony Edwards
43:35Will be out for that game
43:37But
43:38Wolves still
43:39A dangerous team
43:41These are the updated standings
43:43With the results from tonight
43:44Detroit beat Golden State
43:45No Kate Cunningham
43:47Pistons still won
43:48Knicks hung on
43:49To beat the Nets
43:5193-92
43:52So the Celtics need a win
43:54To keep pace here
43:55Yeah so after we win this game
43:56It'll be four back
43:57But with the Pistons
43:58It's theoretically five back
43:59Because they own the tiebreaker
44:05Could happen
44:06Both
44:06Both
44:07Us and the Pistons
44:08Tough schedule
44:09Yes
44:09Really
44:10We will be scoreboard watching
44:12Every night
44:27Celtics have
44:28Held the Grizzlies
44:29Scoreless
44:30For nearly four minutes
44:31It's Omax
44:32Prosper
44:32Can't end the drought
44:33Playton the rebound
44:38Prosper on the cut
44:39And the jam
44:46Seven point Celtics lead
44:4890 seconds to play
44:50Here they go
44:56Spencer trying to stay
44:58With Jalen Brown
45:00Back to his spot
45:01Off the rim
45:02Luka Garza
45:03That'll count for him
45:0422 for Luka
45:06Garza's a workhorse
45:08Every possession
45:09He fits it really well
45:11With this group
45:14And then White
45:15Smacks it out of bounds
45:16But the foul
45:17I believe
45:18Will be on Garza
45:19Before the block
45:20Garza jumped backwards
45:22There's two
45:25Challenges
45:28There's Brown
45:30Garza
45:31Working
45:31You said it
45:3422 points
45:35To Luka Garza
45:36And he did the unbelievable report
45:48On Nimi
45:50Think of how
45:51The luxury it is
45:53To have
45:54Garza
45:55Who
45:55With
45:56Gucic out
45:57Nimi not playing well today
45:58Garza can go out there
46:00And play really
46:02Extremely effective
46:03In this fourth quarter
46:05Luka's got his highest scoring output
46:07As a Celtic
46:0822 points
46:09His career high is 25
46:27Final minute
46:31Richard on the ball
46:34Now it's Brown
46:35Five to shoot
46:36JB makes his move
46:38To the short corner
46:40White the offensive rebound
46:42This is an absolute exhibition
46:44On the offensive glass
46:45They've got 40%
46:47Of all misses
46:49On the offensive rebound
46:53That's as
46:54That's as high as you'll ever see
46:56In the NBA
46:57Like that's
46:57An unreal
46:59Offensive rebound
46:59Night
47:00For this team
47:02Grizzlies had to foul
47:03To try to extend the game
47:04They had one to give
47:05So side out
47:07For the Celts
47:09Shireman back in there
47:13Luka Garza
47:14Takes a seat
47:15He deserves an ovation
47:16He was awesome
47:18Awesome
47:20It's gonna be hard
47:21To pick a Tommy today
47:22Derek White
47:22Making shots
47:23In the fourth
47:23And Garza
47:24Doing what he did
47:36Shot clock winds
47:40That'll be Grizzlies ball
47:42But under 24 to play
47:45As the Celtics
47:46Try to get out of here
47:47With a win
47:48Which would be their
47:48Fifth in a row
47:49In this building
47:5119 out of the last
47:5321 against Memphis
47:56Walter Clayton
47:57Right to the rack
47:58Five point game
48:00See if Memphis
48:01Fouls again
48:02They do
48:02It'll put Tatum
48:03At the line
48:08Coming up after the game
48:09It's post game live
48:10Presented by
48:11The New England
48:12Four dealers
48:13Garza first Celtics
48:14With at least
48:1522.6 offensive
48:16Rebounds off the bench
48:17Since
48:18Ennis freedom
48:21Where's he been
48:25I don't know
48:34A lot of smiles
48:35From the Celtics
48:36Bench
48:36Game they were
48:37Heavily favored
48:38To win
48:39They got
48:41Serious couple
48:41Of punches
48:42From the Grizzles
48:44I think it was
48:45So cool
48:45That Joe
48:46Did not go back
48:47To
48:47Brown and Tatum
48:48When that first group
48:50Was not playing well
48:51He could have
48:52Easily said
48:53Nah you know what
48:53Forget it
48:54Let's get our stars
48:55Back in there
48:56But I'm sure
48:57He laid into them
48:58But he still
48:59Trusted them
48:59And Derek White
49:00Came up huge
49:01Luka Garza
49:02Came up huge
49:03Baylor Shireman
49:04With big time
49:05Hustle plays
49:05That's awesome
49:06I mean that is like
49:08That's what building
49:09A team and trust
49:10And building that
49:11Relationship is all about
49:16Harper and Gonzalez
49:17Will check in
49:18As we hear
49:19Let's go Celtics
49:20Chance
49:35Here's my man
49:36From St. Louis
49:37I met that guy
49:38Earlier today
49:38Good move
49:39Yeah
49:40His son Oliver
49:41Was excited
49:42About coming
49:43To the game
49:43Tonight
49:45Everywhere you go
49:46You will find
49:47Celtics fans
49:55Small hits the three
49:57At the end
49:57But
49:58It's just cosmetic
50:00As the Celtics
50:01Dribble it out
50:01And escape Memphis
50:03With a five point win
50:06A lot of great performances
50:08In this game
50:11And it was cool
50:12To see a game
50:13Where Tatum and Brown
50:14Were sort of in a clutch game
50:16Nice to see
50:19The Grizzlies
50:20The Grizzlies certainly
50:23Did not make it easy
50:24This is a team
50:25Missing 11 players
50:28On the injury report
50:29Including their star
50:31John Moran
50:33They made it difficult
50:34On the Celtics
50:35But the C's win
50:36Here's the Hyundai
50:37There's the Hyundai
50:38The Hyundai
50:38Getaway sales event
50:39Has deal so right
50:40It almost feels wrong
50:41On your local
50:42Hyundai dealer
50:43The steal
50:44From Shireman
50:45Ugo attacking
50:47The rim
50:49And the stare down
50:50Love it
50:53Looks like the road ahead
