00:00:00Everything that he puts up he does so many other things that are important to this team whatever he can
00:00:04do offensively
00:00:06Is really a bonus although he has hit some really big-time clutch threes here in the last three weeks
00:00:13Dodgers indeed
00:00:14We did a great job on Luka
00:00:18He smothered in that time and now he's at the other end and he scores around eight
00:00:23Lakers take it out of the net very quickly, but hustling back the magic they've done their homework
00:00:30Lakers want to take it right out and run back the other way
00:00:33Spinning his reads he goes all the way he's underneath he can't score
00:00:38LeBron is open for an instant
00:00:41Dangerous pass a skip pass. He had Luka at the top. He tried to go cross-court on the skip
00:00:46to Marcus
00:00:48Lakers maintain possession, but only six on the shot clock. Lakers with eight turnovers tonight
00:00:55Season best eight game winning streak six against current postseason teams
00:01:00So they've been done
00:01:02Playing some really neat competition and coming out on top. That's one of the bright sides of what we're saying
00:01:10Well, you know what he passed up a freak. Yeah, every pass up the mid-range. Yeah, he just launched
00:01:15this one
00:01:16But that's what he can do he can step out and knock down the three and that's the first scratch
00:01:21of the game first made field goal
00:01:26Where's he came in come in at the next whistle six to shoot LeBron gonna rise at fire. That's our
00:01:33target all and cartridge
00:01:36Fumbles it out of bounds Lakers will certainly take the gift that came off the front of the rim so
00:01:41fast and
00:01:42He didn't have his hands up to begin with and when he tried to reach up real fast it ricocheted
00:01:47off and gives the Lakers
00:01:49Another 14. See the team shooting well to start this
00:01:52Third quarter by the way go got cannon Carter eight points each. That's why those bench numbers
00:02:00Are so high for Orlando
00:02:05And then a whistle might have been a little late but probably the right call now they have a challenge
00:02:11remaining
00:02:13We look at the Lakers as austin reese dribble penetration brings the next year defender
00:02:18Over the shoulder tight pass the foul was really before he even caught the ball and then
00:02:23They finally called a foul in the act of shooting so
00:02:27It'll be deandre eight and shooting two

00:02:49community reminder below as lebron knocks it out of bounds it goes into row number five
00:02:54Good hustle
00:02:55I was gonna say a reminder
00:02:57Lakers have a three-game home stand after we come back off the road trip get your tickets at lakers
00:03:02ticket exchange
00:03:04I've got more than washington and cleveland
00:03:05That was a nice burst by lebron to knock that ball out of bounds
00:03:14Then marcus smart gets called for the foul so
00:03:18It'll be fall out of bounds yet again
00:03:21That's three on marcus. How about orlando they are out of fouls?
00:03:27They're out of fouls here in this a quarter
00:03:30Five jump shots don't help you much. Yeah when they're out of fouls. You got to be aggressive at attacking
00:03:36paint generally
00:03:37That's just the first team foul on the lakers
00:03:40Thank carol one-on-one with lebron james. They wanted to go back door
00:03:44Yeah, but Austin reese. Yeah, he was waiting for one. He opened up to see the ball and on and
00:03:49gets the seal luca
00:03:51one fake two fake popcorn machine can't score
00:03:58Back to the free throw line absolutely where he's missed one of three
00:04:08All right with luca
00:04:11It's time to check in verbo with verbo the check-in during the eight-game winning streak. Oh
00:04:17Are these any good no these numbers those are ridiculous?
00:04:22mbp type averaging 41
00:04:26In the eight-game street 41 9 7 and a half and two and a half steals
00:04:33You know lucas 409 points coming into this game in the month of march i'm giving you specific numbers here
00:04:40106 more than anybody else in the league
00:04:43He's that far ahead of everybody's scoring wise in the month of march by the way bank caro
00:04:49Is fourth in the league during this
00:04:52month of march as we turn to spring
00:04:55A couple of days ago and we turned the scoreboard to an even
00:05:0070
00:05:03That's the fifth time we've been tied
00:05:07Lakers have involved in a few close games as obviously you know that we got a good record too
00:05:14This was all taken by da
00:05:17And they give it to luca
00:05:20Lakers are 72
00:05:22games decided by four points or less
00:05:26Or that's a crunch time change in the nba here's dodges should go down and does
00:05:31But that's automatic no chance of stopping that well. He steps away from the defender after contact and
00:05:38Makes it look easy again such skips it over now
00:05:42Runs it to all another steal with the lebron running to the rim
00:05:50What a play by lebron
00:05:53What a play but they've got numbers
00:05:56Fire three lebron is leaking out here's the pass he's got it james again that's defensive foul
00:06:09That's an official about the previous play down not this one
00:06:14I mean the lakers
00:06:16Turn them over didn't get a defensive rebound
00:06:19Get out in transition and
00:06:21Make it look easy there's the turnover with the nice steel by austin and throw it up and look at
00:06:26this left-handed shot
00:06:28by lebron
00:06:33Laker lead they've taken control again
00:06:36I'll tell you what if you if you don't realize how impressive it was the other night
00:06:40We're going to put things in perspective
00:06:42luca scoring his 60 and lebron his triple double last time that happened
00:06:46as a duo with the lakers all the way back in 69 with two of the greatest that ever lived
00:06:52wilt and elgin it's that's quite a feat quite a feat isn't it though quite a company to keep
00:06:58it doesn't happen often and those two great superstars teaming up after the trade last february
00:07:06first full year together of course lebron missing a bunch of games early on in the year
00:07:10but as j.j kept preaching he said look when we get healthy
00:07:14and we're together for a little while we're going to start rolling and that's exactly what they've been doing
00:07:19rolling in this game just to 8 0 1
00:07:22and
00:07:2315 to 7 on fast break scoring
00:07:25lebron can make it even more with free throws here
00:07:29makes the first of two
00:07:32let's check in with mike
00:07:33yeah billy so obviously lebron and luca and austin in charge of lakers offensively
00:07:38but tonight how about combining for eight steals as a trio not bad with 6 20 still to go in
00:07:44the third
00:07:44i think that's important to point out good stuff
00:07:49turnover department 12 right now for the magic they don't turn it over a whole lot either
00:07:56they're the fifth best team with ball security this year the nba so mike's point is well taken
00:08:02like there's a really playing good defense luca lebron charging again
00:08:08boy tell what luca just gets it and lebron is flying down the left wing he can change ends as
00:08:14better as good as anybody in this league despite his age best fast break score in the nba
00:08:19lebron james oldest player in the nba is the best in transition in the nba think about that one too
00:08:28backhand layup is good
00:08:3378 72 the thing about lebron that's really impressed his ability to go from zero to 60. i mean
00:08:39he can get there in a flash that's a big time sports car that's a big time engine
00:08:46reeds gonna try it straight away three boy he had the defender carter jr kind of right on him
00:08:53tried it anyway another look at how the lakers get out on rebound give it to luca and quickly turn
00:08:59and
00:08:59give it to lebron who takes ben carol to the rim and lays it up easily i'll get this eight
00:09:05game
00:09:05winning streak for the lakers only okc has one four entering the night they've won 10 remember
00:09:11atlanta had that long winning streak that finally came to an end
00:09:18such attack skips it now out on top van carol he's gonna hit with the leaves put it up trying
00:09:25to get
00:09:26the rebound boy he was being very physical right there and a whistle and a foul on the lakers
00:09:32with the lake show up by six third quarter action here in the o
00:09:40better called the foul on austin reeves who was trying to come over and give defensive support
00:09:45ben carol to shoot two well this orlando team had one seven in a row they're playing great basketball
00:09:53they've lost their last three to the hornets the thunder and the hawks not necessarily in that
00:09:59order you want to invert that but those are their last three losses their last win was at miami
00:10:10luke canard comes in gives lebron a little breather
00:10:16stew lebron's 24 minutes in four rebounds couple of assists and
00:10:20hits the 10 points of course his double digit streak was ended earlier this year in toronto when lebron
00:10:27made one of the great plays of the game finding ruey in the corner for a game-winning three
00:10:34passed up an opportunity to get to double digits to win the game by making that great pass
00:10:41docic
00:10:43back to the hoop
00:10:45bumps into game where he's in very deep
00:10:47where he could do damage but not that time
00:10:51he was working
00:10:53we're gonna see jackson hayes in in a moment
00:10:57thugs
00:11:00well his offensive volume has been way up he had his first
00:11:04career triple double did jalen by the way in february february 5th
00:11:08career high in assists per game this year
00:11:13he's got third in the league in assists
00:11:16foul out of the perimeter
00:11:17bad foul there
00:11:19you want to be physical but the guy's backing you and he's 18 feet from the rim i don't know
00:11:25if you want to be that physical there
00:11:30send luca to the free throw line for two in a two-point game lakers have been to the bonus
00:11:37for a while
00:11:40lakers tied with the self-export best road record tied with the knicks for the
00:11:44fifth best overall coming into tonight
00:11:50to get another one remember the game a few games ago to take a link streak
00:11:55he couldn't buy a free throw that's long since forgotten
00:12:00another whistle here what's this one for some blood on the hand of
00:12:05one of the players when the carter jr i believe it is
00:12:1513 years for this magic team uh they were in the bottom 10 bottom 10 in offense and they're
00:12:23finally playing better this year finally look at them look at luca in the huddle with the magic
00:12:27they're drawing up a play and luca is over there well hayes is there too
00:12:32they do it just in case luca misses something jacks is over there also
00:12:39they would have frowned on that baby and the officials if it had been an official time out but it
00:12:44was just to
00:12:45get the blood stopped on the hand that window carter
00:12:48all right eight straight games with at least
00:12:5330 for dodge it
00:12:57take it nine straight with that one right there
00:13:0130 on the evening for luca and steal four minutes to go here in the third
00:13:10wendell charter corner on its way
00:13:14that caro went right over the body that time of reads now he's doubled up somebody's open they'll
00:13:20swing it the sides down the middle he goes with the left hand that's beautiful
00:13:25really well done
00:13:27you know we talked about how many games he's missed this year when he's when he's on the floor
00:13:32that gives them a whole different dimension i'll tell you what he has a steal in what 10 11 straight
00:13:36games dodges off target sogs long lead carter jr
00:13:41leads for some friends to join the party one of his best friends right there ben carol underneath wendell carter
00:13:48and one well austin was a half second late trying to take the foul
00:13:54didn't wrap him up and he gets a three-point opportunity here his
00:13:58first shot was missed and ruey was there at the contest but then
00:14:02austin a half second late
00:14:05commits to foul intentionally and sends wendell carter to the uh to the free throw line for
00:14:09an and one kind of an interesting stat uh
00:14:13the magic lead the nba in percentage of points made off of free throws they're number one
00:14:20about 19 of their points come from the free throw line
00:14:26right now they're on a 10-1 run steve
00:14:28you're just coming up with all these little nuggets think about that i mean they are living they live
00:14:32with the line that's so good game but who's number one lakers live there dude who's number one in
00:14:38percentage it's orland maybe not total free throws but percentage wise i hear your point dot jic
00:14:49you're good with the dribble has not terminated the dribble stays with it again he's backing in
00:14:56he turns at the baseline the bump call over tapped by jackson hayes here they come like
00:15:01is a little slow get back sugs lob underneath
00:15:08got time out that's going to be a foul on the lakers luke canard i believe it was so 256
00:15:15to go in the
00:15:16third we've got ourselves a two-point game back in the box game summary lebron sets an all-time
00:15:24game play regular season record passing robert parish and then an emphatic tongue early that got
00:15:31his crowd on their feet bench points been a story stew been a real story tonight 29 to 14. and
00:15:39luke i
00:15:40just mentioned a moment ago ninth straight with 30 points lakers do not have a field goal in the last
00:15:45three minutes and five seconds now they've got to correct that as the magic have possession 18 on the 24
00:15:58trailing by two
00:16:01again lakers have won four in a row over the east this is a lineup that the magic put in
00:16:06in the first
00:16:07half to get the lakers fits in the second quarters of problems
00:16:11go got really played well all kinds of foul on dismond bain valley market smart
00:16:18he's also looking at the bench every time when anybody has a challenge left they look right to the bench
00:16:26and the old arm underneath plays lakers with smart luka ruey jackson hayes and luke canard on the floor
00:16:35canard here he goes underneath boy with the right hand around gogan
00:16:43league leader in three-point percentage 21 games now since the trade he's been scoreless two of the
00:16:50last three coming in but tonight making up for he's got 10 so he's in double digits one of his
00:16:56best games
00:16:57as a laker scoring wise they needed the most carter barely grazed the rim there's a battle underneath
00:17:03push it shove it foul lakers and hayes another look at luke canard getting inside little up fake
00:17:11nice job he uses that right hand in the paint very efficiently as a left-hander
00:17:18he's another one who played with the desmond bain for a bit in memphis
00:17:25tazzy free throw time
00:17:28tazzy's had a a good game thus far he's been a big spark for them off the bench especially second
00:17:35chance
00:17:36uh opportunities for the magic and third for a full season here you know he had been out uh this
00:17:43is just
00:17:43uh his eighth game since january the 24th that he's played but again he's
00:17:49he had moved into the starting lineup for a bit with wendell carter out
00:17:53he had four offensive rebounds in the first half
00:17:57the average is nearly five a game in 15 minutes of action per
00:18:02you can get your team you know four or five extra possessions
00:18:07he's
00:18:08hayes drive kick canard who steps back for that three
00:18:13another two minutes now remaining luke canard that was his first miss three he was two for two
00:18:20lebron will be in at the next whistle desmond bain trying to pull his way inside
00:18:25penda now on the outside works on canard they like this matchup but he comes up short and there's goga
00:18:32again at that time it was tipped to him yeah and they hit the three with carter
00:18:37i'll tell you uh carter yvonne carter has uh hurt the lakers from that distance
00:18:44remember he played 23 games with chicago this season he was waved by the boys
00:18:50and he's doing some good work here in orlando
00:18:54he puts him up by four with his three-pointer he's made three of those in nine attempts
00:19:04all right goga picks up his fourth actually at the silva has four and goga has four
00:19:12luca free throw time
00:19:16five out of seven
00:19:20this is another one his third lebron's coming in for rue
00:19:28with a minute 21 remaining in the quarter james with 10 4 and 2 tonight he's only shot at eight
00:19:36times
00:19:37hasn't made a three i think in the fourth quarter you'll see lebron be a little bit more assertive
00:19:44he does a great job for picketing choosing when he wants to attack
00:19:51now luca's season high and assist this year came against this orlando came back in l.a when he had
00:19:5715.
00:19:59well luca this might be fan interaction oh is it goga i think it's goga it is goga look at
00:20:06him goga yeah they're
00:20:07they're drawing at each other goga's been in a few conversations tonight
00:20:14oh this one's gonna boil over you just have a feeling don't you
00:20:25yeah it's goga comes down the floor oh they're double technical double technical so luca
00:20:31will be suspended for a game yeah you knew it was going to happen what you didn't know but you
00:20:36thought it would
00:20:39so luca dodge it's now has reached the limit
00:20:46and he will be says he comes up the floor he and go there still
00:20:50chirping at each other did we not say it was boiling over
00:20:55he's just kind of feeling about that one so the double technical they stay on the floor nobody shoots free
00:21:00throws
00:21:01maybe they'll reset it could be a recent and that's what the lakers will be looking for i don't think
00:21:07they'll resent it oh yeah you can hope all you want yeah well no soon enough always did here's carter
00:21:14got it
00:21:15i think javon carter has played really well really well off to pinch to this game i mean he only
00:21:24averages a
00:21:25point and a half a game in six minutes 17 to four runs five point deficit for under a minute
00:21:33again goga and luca get a little physical out on top good rebound by jack lebron luca straight away three
00:21:42kane has the rebound they could take their biggest lead of the game right here towards the end of the
00:21:49third
00:21:51biggest lead has been six it's five right now is the crowd their locals making some noise
00:21:59all the way big great play blocked by hayes get it out of here and jackson hayes had some words
00:22:07that time
00:22:08with desmond bayne as he's tried to throw it up high off the window but jackson hayes says i see
00:22:15it
00:22:15all the way five on the shot clock that's the most important number stolen by marcus he's got dot
00:22:21chips drinking down the middle but a whistle well it was javon carter came from behind and stole the
00:22:28ball himself but he stepped on the sideline so it'll be laker ball with 12.9 on the game block
00:22:34and the
00:22:35shot clock is off for the quarter
00:22:39again it was a one point orlando win a few weeks back in los angeles late february that's another
00:22:47ball knocked out of bounds this time by jamal kane so now marcus will take it out quickly into luca
00:22:59down let the defender after a pick by jackson hayes corner lebron with two with one
00:23:08that's the way the third quarter's gonna end
00:23:13we're gonna have a real aggressive fourth as the magic will head to the fourth with a five-point lead
00:23:22to close that quarter they outscored the lakers 17 to four
00:23:31jack in the box the hot mess is back as a munchie meal for jack's 75th anniversary
00:23:41now what do you say laker fans we've come this far might as well win this thing
00:23:4687 82 in the third quarter lakers only shot 25 percent luka was one for nine orlando though had five
00:23:55turnovers and the lakers didn't turn it over at all lakers shot 14 free throws made nine of them
00:24:02remember they were in the bonus early
00:24:06we start the fourth with a turnover there you go as you speak about him
00:24:12just state facts just stating facts so they did play a good third quarter in that regard obviously
00:24:20not turning it over help them stay in the game after shooting so poorly
00:24:26bane here he goes off the window scores it he spun it up and in
00:24:31different looking shot from desmond bain and this is the biggest lead of the game for the magic
00:24:39smarts out there to start the quarter
00:24:43and he's on the line
00:24:44throw it down big fella the assist goes to lebron over goga too i mean go get ready to play
00:24:51but
00:24:52these elevator stopped go get 6 10
00:24:55fail of the tape
00:24:58the rabies in there hounding on defense
00:25:02good box out that time by reeves as he goes and gets that rebound didn't wait for anything to come
00:25:08to him
00:25:09to 89 84 after the dunk at this end lees runs into a defender
00:25:14bottled up a little bit so lebron
00:25:18with luca on the bench to start the quarter
00:25:22the bottom of the stutter stack go get in play he likes the matchup now shoots over the big guy
00:25:27who
00:25:28played good defense
00:25:29didn't allow lebron to dribble drive around him another look at that play where lebron threw up the lob
00:25:35jackson hayes went to get it he's there and boy go get it jackson
00:25:43carter again picked up off of waivers from chicago
00:25:49launches
00:25:51reeves tapped it oh look at that double tap they're playing volleyball in the backcourt
00:25:56lakers have a man advantage
00:25:58they're not gonna be able to take advantage of it though
00:26:00now kane had stumbled he comes all the way back and he's now in set defense we played two minutes
00:26:06and plus here in the fourth quarter
00:26:08go guy go straight up at the muscle play by jacks to get it home jack put that in one
00:26:14hand yeah
00:26:16protected it and scored he
00:26:19haze off the bench tonight eight points and another block he is active and that's what we've always said about
00:26:26him
00:26:27since he came and became a laker that he's been very active look at that bullet pass from lebron and
00:26:32up with
00:26:33the one hand and laid in nice job jackson hayes and then defensively second block on desmond vane
00:26:41maker bench still a minus 15
00:26:44three blocks for jacks
00:26:48bang open penda lebron just go ahead and take it penda wants to bump into the lane over lebron
00:26:55good defense by bra here he is on the leap out wasn't gonna get there
00:27:00it was too much of a hang time and they were able to come out is it gonna be a
00:27:04switch
00:27:04not this time and it's reeves nearly got his headband knocked off
00:27:11that happens a lot to austin he's got six boards does austin reeves
00:27:16makers are a minus two in the rebound department
00:27:19jackson sees the floor again he spent some time down there tonight
00:27:25attack with aggression that's what you have to do
00:27:28everybody's challenging at the rims so jackson hayes says hey
00:27:31i can go up two goes up three defenders there he gets fouled goes to the line
00:27:37where tonight he's two out of four
00:27:42see window carter in a minute hey right now how about this one drug in the box
00:27:50hotness is back with spicy jalapenos onion rings and gooey pepper jack cheese
00:27:54welcome to talking about
00:27:57again got detroit and the pistons a couple of nights and then indiana the pacers who
00:28:02obviously are looking for a bottom four draft pick
00:28:05a top four shall we say that bottom four finish
00:28:09miss them both
00:28:14stew again a problem at the line they're only 64 percent
00:28:20free throw shooting for the lakers
00:28:24turning carter has got it carter jr to carter on the outside javon and he was the one who missed
00:28:33only a three-point game lakers to tie it this time down the floor crossover by reeds
00:28:39hayes gives it right back to ar 11 to shoot that's time to get into his action and he does
00:28:45it right
00:28:46here pull up and score with the soft touch didn't get the whistle he was hoping he was searching but
00:28:52he still gets the basket now you have to play the game as if you know you're never going to
00:28:57get a
00:28:57whistle so just keep on playing now they're in a drought maybe in orlando over three minutes
00:29:04free throw line ends it right there
00:29:09the next dead ball though they're going to bring two more starters in
00:29:12ponta been cattle and to silver
00:29:1617-4 run remember to end the quarter by
00:29:19orlando they had a ton of momentum coming in here
00:29:24the lakers now got it down to three
00:29:27also bringing sugs back in sugs is a guy that
00:29:30helps change momentum a bit so see if the lakers can respond 26 minutes 14 points for sugs
00:29:38so the second half free throw attempts definitely belong to the lakers
00:29:429-16 we're talking about attempts not makes remember the lakers are having some sort of trouble
00:29:48knocking them down lebron back to the basket here's the pick by hey so he's got a wide open three
00:29:54and it won't go down that should be on window carter or excuse me on bonketto as jackson hayes rolled
00:30:01to the rim and
00:30:02was held
00:30:06that's the third on the road that's the third on the palo there he is number five
00:30:16inbound reeves got away from the defender now right back out to broad is just
00:30:20missed the three reeves is oh boy i'm not going to get it tapped around right to the lap of
00:30:25van carroll
00:30:26all right team fouls are definitely the laker way right now in this fourth and final
00:30:35you're going to reorganize out on top three fouls on orlando none on the purple and gold he dropped it
00:30:41out of bounds he saw the specter of marcus smart right next to him let's do we got a talent
00:30:48yes
00:30:49ball didn't come up either uh bill as they burned a sub in and that sub the luca so 7
00:30:5615 left
00:30:57lakers look up at the scoreboard it's a one possession game
00:31:01they trail by that come out yeah no timeout they're gonna play on it
00:31:06henry's luca his body back in now for the duration
00:31:14the lakers play with their regular rotation luca seven to shoot luca in the lane now austin
00:31:21he knows the clock he's getting in he's gonna shoot it right here lay it up and in
00:31:26weaves his way through for two changes speed change of direction and then a change of hand
00:31:34suggs is they're nursing a one-point lead
00:31:38for over five minutes into the corner carter junior knew he missed it he runs right into lebron and
00:31:44then he knocks down he figured hey if i can knock lebron out of play they might not call it
00:31:49if i knock
00:31:49jackson hayes out of the play but they blew the whistle called the foul and we do have that timeout
00:31:55you were talking about is austin reeves
00:31:58change direction change of speed and then change of hand lakers trail by one
00:32:06he's uh talked about him many times just love his competitiveness and really is a guy that can
00:32:12score in so many different ways not afraid to attack the bigs at all gets into the paint
00:32:19has the outside game to work with it and maybe the best thing i think about austin is he's never
00:32:25satisfied he's always working on something about his game he stays in the lab and you'd be surprised
00:32:30the number of players that come into this league that don't improve what do you think mike jordale
00:32:35well sir he's just been so adaptable as well you think about the last couple of games where lebron
00:32:39is carried a little bit more on offense so austin's shot volume goes down a little bit the points go
00:32:44down
00:32:44a little bit tonight though then you can see the field goals elevate as you get another foul call in
00:32:48orlando and he's up to 19 points on the 15th shot so austin really good at fitting in where they
00:32:53need
00:32:53him to a two laker run mike and speak of austin he just got fouled by suggs 90 feet away
00:33:00from the basket
00:33:02so free throws for austin reeks

00:33:56screen you don't
00:33:56when you get contact don't leave right away that's where you get the moving screen he hesitated just
00:34:01enough and then he decides to dive and sucks with the bounce pass that was that was set up perfectly
00:34:08or when go ahead yeah three-point opportunity coming to window carter jr
00:34:12wendell has been the father's by the left rib contusion that's what has put him out of the lineup
00:34:22on the year nearly an 80 percent free throw shooter well after tonight the lakers have 11 left
00:34:30five against the east six against the west six at home and five away and six playoff teams looming
00:34:37on the schedule right now they've got a two and a half game lead on the pursuers houston denver minnesota
00:34:47want to keep it rolling all right keep it rolling they gotta get into the lead here and finish on
00:34:55top
00:34:56for the ninth win in a row
00:35:01foul on jake laravia trying to pick the pocket of soaks that's two quick fouls on jake
00:35:0911 minutes jake has not scored with the missed shot by luca and then right there on the rebound
00:35:17the whistle
00:35:19lebron goes out for a rest at the six minute mark i don't think you'll be out more than two
00:35:24minutes
00:35:26now lakers in the bonus lakers themselves have only committed two personal fouls
00:35:34challenge does remain for orlando boy what a brick that time by sucks and those are hard to rebound
00:35:41rick's can be very hard to rebound they came off the basket or the rim so hard
00:35:50but they get it out of bounds at point with stew's point
00:35:53lakers were unable to secure it you've got 10 to shoot
00:35:58to silva trying to get to the rim and does it can't score top by luca now luca comes out
00:36:04with it
00:36:04good challenge by the andre
00:36:11he's gonna back things up with 21 points again tonight he and luca combining for 52 make it
00:36:20right 55 right in the face of ben carol
00:36:2655 between the highest scoring duo in the nba
00:36:32and then he's gonna go away
00:36:34weak side rebound good tap by carlos jr but you go out of bounds yes they go out of bounds
00:36:39it was a good tap but there was nobody there another look at austin they they switch on the screen
00:36:44and
00:36:44austin just says he didn't take this
00:36:46nothing but bottom palo only has four points in the second half and that's obviously who they lean on
00:36:52arabia wanted to go baseline lakers with a one-point lead and again out of bounds it goes
00:37:00yeah that time can already left the corner you want to stay the level of the ball to try to
00:37:06give your
00:37:07teammate an outlet pass now lakers are winning the turnover battle
00:37:12all right we've entered the final five minutes of the game brought to you by murato casino resort and spa
00:37:17off well lando's got 14 points off of turnovers looking for 16 and they got it 16 points off of
00:37:26to's
00:37:29lakers have 17 off of the 15 miscues for the magic crunch time again for this laker team
00:37:38nightly it seems dodge it trying to get around back there who's staying with them physically
00:37:45lorabia looking for his first scratch doesn't get it doing work is he he's got it and it's oh he
00:37:50went up
00:37:51and didn't go all the way up he stayed on his tippy toes it's all right and canard can't score
00:37:57and they
00:37:57get the rebound and they're out in early offense fly by bane nobody there but reeves nobody home but reeves
00:38:08down by a point here they come to the attacking 47 surveying his reeves he's going to attack
00:38:15try to throw it and does find lorabia jake's in low jake's in deep jake can't score who's got it
00:38:22boy
00:38:22jake very unlucky there very unlucky bane turnover we're going one way and the other back and forth we go
00:38:34but who's going to score reeves for three boy deandre working on the glass yeah he is
00:38:43it's one on three for ben carroll blocked by reeves but we got a whistle we got a whistle
00:38:50end to end action not a lot of production in the last eight minutes or so but they have been
00:38:57going up and
00:38:58down in a hurry if deandre gets the rebound and throws it away and austin coming from behind they
00:39:05whistle him for the foul i believe so it'll be ben canto shooting two
00:39:23the lebron's coming back in so is marcus
00:39:28now we've got a timeout 318 left here in the fourth and this game has had just about
00:39:38everything but it's a two point games on spectrum sports net early starts pregame show an hour before
00:39:44then we have all the games on the next homestand to brooklyn the wizards who got in a big fight
00:39:50tonight if you haven't seen that already and then the calves who are one of the better teams in the
00:39:55east on
00:39:56tuesday here the standings stew and where the lakers are right now how about that that two and a half
00:40:03game
00:40:03lead on everybody chasing the rockets the nuggets and the timberwolves all knotted up
00:40:11so in other words you can't win them all or can you the lakers are trying to do just that
00:40:16and
00:40:17win their ninth in succession fourth quarter scoring stew 13 10 lakers just trying to win the game
00:40:24they're playing and then that ends up in a running streak that's what you do if you approach it one
00:40:29game at a time
00:40:31they have their work cut out for them in this one as they trail by three
00:40:35with just over three minutes well how about deandre eight
00:40:39ten rebounds four of them offensive boards
00:40:46coming up on the three minute mark luka holding on to it lakers are down by three unless he makes
00:40:53this
00:40:54one he does not a couple players get entangled one with suds who hit the floor yeah austin reeds came
00:41:02from the weak side and crashed the boards got a little contact with suds on the missed shot by luka
00:41:09can have a fresh 14 on the clock and dodges will bring it in trying to find the open man
00:41:15wide over it
00:41:16air ball for ar you run like him it was a perfectly played out of bounds situation for the lakers
00:41:26and
00:41:26they just couldn't take advantage palo banquero he's quarterbacking this time down the floor
00:41:33terminates the dribble brings it right back out on top bank run through the high post in carter jr
00:41:39three to shoot two to shoot lebron trying to guard suck throws it up and in no basket no basket
00:41:47the 24
00:41:48second clock just expired well another possession where the magic didn't really
00:41:55look at the clock very often and ended up making letting the lakers get away with this good defense
00:42:01ball was definitely touching the hand
00:42:06lebron did a good job hounding on the outside on the perimeter defensively to make him work for
00:42:13luka just one for eleven this half one for eleven all that means is he do exactly right and here
00:42:19he is
00:42:20open is lebron down the middle he goes lay it up and in you'll wrap around left-handed shot by
00:42:27lebron
00:42:29and it's a one-point game ron's got a dozen
00:42:33two minutes to play we're at it again going down to the finish hope you're enjoying it on spectrum
00:42:39sports net purple and gold trying to get another w dan caro here he goes over eight and many scores
00:42:54remember the first game between the two came down to the final shot of the game
00:42:59and orlando wound up winning by a point
00:43:02luca he's inside second bucket of the half is a big one minute and a half left
00:43:10now your defense has to turn the screws
00:43:15two timeouts remaining for each team lakers have a foul to give
00:43:19up here in the final two minutes and a challenge remains for orlando
00:43:26then carol plenty of time on the shot clock no rush to get into the action
00:43:32now it's to wind down carter jr at the free throw line
00:43:39he was the one who hit the big shot back in los angeles
00:43:43but he didn't score in the first half but he's got 13 second half points
00:43:52coming up on a minute
00:43:54three-point game for the time
00:43:58good tap by eight and the getters there are fouls
00:44:01they're calling it on eight over the back yeah
00:44:07well there's the foul they had to give so now their defense
00:44:11has to be just about perfect
00:44:17magic we're going to make it five in a row over the lakers they've had their number
00:44:29thank you turning spinning he gets fouled in the lane
00:44:36in the lane boy this crowd involved i think you heard that let's go magic or lakers you couldn't even
00:44:41differentiate what this crowd was was yelling with 50 seconds left and the lakers down by three
00:44:48these free throws could be very very large now we talk about the clutch
00:44:54games for the lakers the best in the nba
00:44:57trying to squeak out another one
00:45:01under a minute to play bank carol
00:45:08well now it's a two possession game
00:45:13palo with 15. not a big scoring night like we have seen they should really spread the wealth
00:45:22nobody has at least 20 for the magic yeah they have seven between 10 and 15 think about that stew
00:45:30and seven players they spread the wealth 10 to 15 points hard to hone in on one or two of
00:45:36them
00:45:36they could 60 now thank you in the free throw reeves is in deep
00:45:40boy he got aggressive and it didn't take long either that was the important thing how fast
00:45:45he did they scored
00:45:46three-point game crowd on their feet
00:45:55suds looking for the very best opportunity that's going to be ben carol probably well bane is an
00:46:02option also has been bane with five with four they're flirting with disaster again and the lakers have the rebound
00:46:11up ahead now for dodges shot clock is off luka's in very deep they need a three and a tie
00:46:19eight he's trying to get it he does eight he's got it he gets fouled
00:46:24it's not a bad another offensive boy that is not a bad foul though by the magic
00:46:29truly not a bad foul they're up three with five seconds left to play
00:46:35eight and at the line to shoot two he's not austin reeds he's 50 percent tonight
00:46:42only here he's 62 only austin can complete the perfect three missed free throw play
00:46:51that's a good point although we don't know we haven't seen it yet but he needs to make
00:46:56i've obviously this way i've seen it done a million times and something always something always goes wrong
00:47:06except when austin did this is to bring the lakers to within one
00:47:15not a lot of time left for the lakers to try to see he missed it on purpose yeah
00:47:19didn't we tried it what happened did someone step in the lane too quick i don't know we're going to
00:47:23find out aren't we oh and a look it might be because he's talking to yeah i think jamal they
00:47:28stepped in the lane too quick which means he'll just get another opportunity that's all it'll mean yeah
00:47:34they can step in as soon as the ball leaves the shooter's hand no no it didn't seem like anybody
00:47:39stepped in too quick nobody stepped out of bounds they called a timeout or maybe that's what they
00:47:45were wondering whether a timeout was going to be called and the magic do get a timeout which means
00:47:54they're in great shape yeah they're gonna have to at least make a free throw it seems coming down the
00:47:58stretch and to try to lengthen the game by with fouls is difficult you only have four seconds left to
00:48:04play you're down by two if you commit to foul you're just hoping they only can make one at the
00:48:11most
00:48:12and you have two timeouts yeah and if they make two then you're really up against it the lakers do
00:48:17have a couple of timeouts so they will be able to advance if they do foul and if they miss
00:48:23one of them
00:48:23they'll be able to get into the front court and you get you can't foul until the ball is inbound
00:48:28in
00:48:29other words you don't want a dead ball foul because that'll give them a free throw and then steal
00:48:34possession well somehow some way the lakers have found ways to win these kind of games but
00:48:44the magic looking to make it two in a row right at the buzzer against this laker team this season
00:48:49and again it's a huge game for them they have three pursuers within a half game
00:48:55they do not want to fall into the plan but let's talk about the lake we'll come back with luka
00:48:59lakers are not on each street in any way except your imagination themselves
00:49:05because they've got a game coming up against the pistons in their next game and uh luka probably
00:49:11will not be available again if you join us very late as a double technical earlier in the game and
00:49:18luka
00:49:18was involved in it and that means he's reached the limit on the season let's see what the lakers
00:49:25do with this play here only 5.2 seconds left and down by two crowd hushes to a silence and
00:49:36he got to get
00:49:36it in and it's going to be is it laker ball yes it's laker ball they're going to challenge it
00:49:43but they
00:49:44ruled that it's laker ball they can't take that challenge with them wow this this game rides on
00:49:51this decision it rides on this decision if orlando gets it they're in great shape again if the lakers
00:50:01do they can advance the ball and shoot to win orlando has called a timeout to initiate the
00:50:08coaches challenge on the out-of-bounds decision it's going to be an interesting call get another look at
00:50:14it and see in our our minds at least who touched it last he tried to go to bancaro
00:50:20it's his hand then oh it does hit lebron does it hit lebron or does it hit bancaro's body lebron
00:50:27out of
00:50:27bounds already well from that angle look like lebron's leg but who knows let's see this one
00:50:37it's loose
00:50:40oh but uh oh it looks like bancaro does bancaro reach in and touch it i think he tapped it
00:50:46off
00:50:47of lebron's leg that's but if he tapped it off of lebron's leg then it'd be their ball but if
00:50:53he
00:50:53tapped it yes last and they didn't touch lebron it certainly looked like it went off of lebron's
00:50:57leg as much as we don't want it to be that maybe this angle will give us a better view
00:51:03ball's loose right here he tries to pick it up i don't think it touches lebron i don't know
00:51:15i mean again this might be a lengthy review they are in contact with new jersey they're gonna have
00:51:23to look at it yeah this is a lot of views this is the game and hopefully it was last
00:51:27touch and lebron
00:51:27it didn't go off of lebron's leg everybody looking up at the scoreboard everybody's looking up at the
00:51:33game board right now players coaches fans they're all looking at oh every not you and i well we're
00:51:39looking at our model well you should everybody well that counts sort of there's a good angle here
00:51:44does it touch lebron's knee that's the question oh maybe not maybe not that's close you know what
00:51:53that's the best angle we've had because close the other angle i think i think they're thinking does
00:52:00it change spin does it change direction that's what a lot of times you look at the scenes yeah
00:52:06right here bancaro touches it does it touch lebron right here i mean the uniform is part of the body
00:52:13so if it touches the shorts that's also out of bounds boy this is this is so close
00:52:21and in an unbelievable position these referees have been put in a position to
00:52:29how this game is going to unfold for sure and they are still in deep conversation
00:52:35i mean deep conflict they're still reviewing it yeah they're still looking at it the officials are
00:52:42talking they're looking at the monitor now let's remember the call on the floor was laker basketball
00:52:52so you would think that if it's
00:52:56not a sure thing the call on the floor would stand
00:53:03and if that's the case the lakers would have an opportunity to either tie the game or win it
00:53:09or win it same situation as they had in los angeles
00:53:16they're not close they're not close to a decision by the way they are literally five feet from us
00:53:22i think they're getting a lot of input they're getting a ton of input right now from the replay center
00:53:26that's what's happening replay center is definitely involved with this and they can make the decision
00:53:31obviously it's finally rendered here but mark davis is your lead official
00:53:48if it's that close you go with the call on the floor yeah that's what i'm thinking and this might
00:53:53be laker ball here we go
00:53:54upon review it has been determined the ball was last touched by orlando therefore this is an
00:53:59unsuccessful challenge the ball be awarded to los angeles please reset the shot clock the game clock
00:54:09the 4.4
00:54:12belay my last 4.7 and the lakers ball they have the ability
00:54:19they have the ability to advance the ball if they call a timeout
00:54:21that's what they'll do absolutely we'll call it 100 so again that last review that's why it's so tough
00:54:29to make calls with only one or two reviews because from one side it definitely looked like it went off
00:54:33of lebron but then from up above no sir no sir well we'll take a break see what the lakers
00:54:40draw up trailing
00:54:41by two you got to get possession of the inbounds pass the magic right now the lakers have to make
00:54:48sure
00:54:48of the inbounds pass and they don't need a three technically they just need a a two to send this
00:54:54to an extra five well a month ago luka had an opportunity to shoot to win the game will he
00:54:59get
00:54:59another one oh lebron's underneath it's blocked it's blocked is there a whistle no whistle
00:55:06well the clock has stopped there's been no whistle though everybody nobody knows what's going on
00:55:11literally there's been nobody there it is finally no whistle
00:55:17they're going to have to review this now the lakers have no they're saying the lakers have taken a timeout
00:55:23did they what before lebron shot it they're saying that it was obviously a clean block or something
00:55:30it'll be laker ball i assume what a crazy end of this lebron back screen and then rolled
00:55:36the pass fakes ben carroll ben carroll did he get a piece of the left or the right arm of
00:55:44lebron
00:55:47he goes there's the fake coming down
00:55:50with his certainly looks like yeah looks looks like he got it looks like with his left arm he
00:55:55hits lebron's right arm yeah watch the arm with his sleeve on it right there it seemed like that's what
00:56:04knocked it out of the possession and then when it went out if it was a clean block when it
00:56:07went out
00:56:08of bounds it looked like it went off of lebron so that would mean it would be orlando's ball
00:56:13but i i think the foul is the first and foremost thing on everybody's mind
00:56:19well i'll tell you what everybody in this arena was confused again there was no call at all this has
00:56:25been a nothing this has been a very strange game without question very strange there have been numerous
00:56:32plays that have been questionable
00:56:38well how about this it's lakers ball yeah but only 2.6 now i know but however they get it
00:56:43it doesn't
00:56:44matter at this point it's marcus smart taking it out they won't get an opportunity like they just had
00:56:49a three wins a two times marcus smart looking canard to win the game
00:56:55yes yes yes yes luke kenard luke kenard luke kenard wins it for the lakers welcome to the lakers show
00:57:06luke kenard
00:57:09welcome to the lake show
00:57:14the best shooter percentage-wise from that distance in the nba gets a wide open look
00:57:22i mean he had time to read the commissioner's name and he drilled it
00:57:29game winner number one in three-point shooting number two all time in three-point shooting and that
00:57:37is a welcome to the lakers moment right there lakers were one for ten from three in the fourth quarter
00:57:45to
00:57:45right here
00:57:54what a finish after a crazy chain of events bam right there
00:58:04i said they wouldn't get an easy opportunity they got a very easy opportunity and luke kenard said
00:58:11do you know my name it's luke luke kenard to be exact i lead the league in three-point shooting
00:58:19here
00:58:20you go mike all right well luke that looks like fun take me through it uh man um wow uh
00:58:32first off great execution by us the play before we thought we got fouled whatever uh came back over
00:58:38here executed a play uh tried to get lebron at the rim two guys went smart made a good play
00:58:43and i was
00:58:44able to knock it down on plays like that there are obviously multiple reads right multiple places the
00:58:48ball can go was that your read to try to get to that spot and when did you think the
00:58:53ball was going to
00:58:54come your way yeah yeah i mean it was a decoy for the most part to set a screen um
00:58:59and then space out
00:59:00uh and then once two guys went for with lebron i knew i was wide open smart made a good
00:59:05play and uh
00:59:05yeah i was able to knock it down three-point shooting is of course one of your best skills you're
00:59:10number one
00:59:10in the league right now in percentage but how do you kind of clear the brain clear the mind at
00:59:14that
00:59:14point knowing what's on the line in a shot like that yeah i mean it's just being a professional being
00:59:19ready at all times um i've struggled recently with with my shots and uh they haven't been falling like
00:59:25i like i wanted them to uh but you go through slumps that's what it's a part of and um
00:59:29it's it's a long
00:59:31season you just gotta take it day by day and that's that's what i do i mean so many big
