01:02gotten them into a position here where they are right behind the Los Angeles
01:06Clippers in the eighth seed that just a half game back of the Clippers with two
01:10key games remaining one in LA and one here at home against the Clippers down the
01:14stretch it's going to be just an incredible a run down the stretch in the
01:20remaining ten games of the year for the Portland Trailblazers and they're as
01:24healthy as they have been in some time albeit without the services of Shaden
01:28Sharp who continues to bend from the stress fracture in the left fibula so
01:33they could be getting a word or on Shaden Sharp in a week to two Robert
01:37Williams the third is out tonight second of a back-to-back that has been the
01:41usual protocol the crazy not playing tonight with a left calf contusion and
01:46Jeremy Grant is out with left foot soreness for the Nets Clowney
01:52Yeoman man Porter Powell Sharp and Wolf all sideline
01:58Brooklyn comes in here having played last night the Blazers of course played a
02:02three o'clock game at Denver yesterday lost to the Nuggets 128 to 112
02:06Jokic with his 35th triple-double of the year and what a shift in gears Lamar from an
02:14elite team of Denver to a team that clearly is rebuilding in the Brooklyn
02:17yeah that's but need the same mindset as you pointed out the bracket gotta have
02:22some resolve to get this job done here tonight against a plucky Brooklyn team
02:29played well against the Blazers the last time out Minot has it stripped free by
02:33Sissoko who gets the start Sissoko starting things getting physical
02:37plaxton into the lane leaves it up and in with those long arms
02:44plaxton averaging 12.7 rebounds a game in his seventh year his assignment Donovan
02:49Klingit who hit four of seven three-point range against Denver yesterday
02:53afternoon here's a walk on the Blazers and it gives it back to Brooklyn the
02:58play was for two mighty to screen and then slip and and drew tried to find a but not
03:02without dragging the foot fantasy ransom Derek Collins and Mitchell urban our
03:07officials here tonight try trying to get separation finds classic in the air
03:13blocked by Klingit he lands with it tries to lean by him Klingit picks him up
03:18gets him some body and a foul and Donovan Klingit Klaxon is a live wire
03:27he really is
03:30Klingit Klingit playing in the 64th game of the year
03:34see Dolan Traore the point guard from France the 19 year old getting into the paint
03:41that's with five first-round draft choices this year
03:53that's a very deliberative in his free-throw shooting technique at 60% and Brooklyn on top
03:59here early Traore picks the pocket of
04:01how did it right it just takes it away
04:06blacks it down brings my not to the ball instead of slip it outside the Wilson
04:12who will beat for three rebound run down by so cool in the corner the Blazers in
04:17business out of that court comes Denny races right to the cocktail
04:22that's that circle speed because when he got the ball they had two guys right there
04:25but they couldn't catch him
04:31Traore turns his direction into the lane ran into his own man Klaxon
04:36and the Blazers take possession
04:38did a head pass gives Denny all the time he needs to make a move
04:46Holliday throws it right to Tiago Spader looking for Holliday it's deflected
04:54into the mids of Tiago Spader showing good form and quickness the officials quickly
05:01confirm they have differing opinions and we'll have a jump ball
05:15the Blazers should get credit for something that was a great catch by Splitter
05:18should account for something catch of the year from the coach
05:21telling it
05:24Christian Kerbal by the way pregame because we're getting set up
05:27loose ball coming our way everybody's scrambling she stood her ground
05:30that's to be expected
05:32made a great catch
05:33Justin got the best hands over here
05:35and then just nonchalantly flicked it back
05:36out onto the floor she does
05:38without question
05:40the one-two galloping dribble
05:42Denny blocked by
05:44Claxton
05:44Nick Claxton averages a little better than a block a game
05:48been around a while now in his seventh campaign
05:55Halliday's breaking his bounce coming right to it
05:58and up ended is Tumani Kamara
06:00that's the action the Blazers wanted on their first offensive set
06:02Madruga called for traveling
06:04Tumani sets the screen his defender gets stuck on the high side
06:07so now everything below that is open
06:15Fallon Wilson
06:16it's a good question
06:20to money
06:22Kamara led the Blazers
06:23he and Denny Adby
06:25the last time the clubs got together
06:26last week
06:27Blazers winning it at one fourteen ninety-five over the Vets
06:30Donovan Klingin had a big game
06:32an impact game fourteen at eleven four
06:35and he nearly had a rebound here
06:38and a whistle
06:39loose ball foul called
06:40it's on Claxton
06:43Donovan is so difficult to box out
06:47We saw that from him, his first training camp as a rookie, just tough on those boards.
06:56And Kidd with those long arms just gets to everything with those tree branches.
07:007-7 wingspan.
07:02Obvious, swings it outside the holiday, slipping the screen.
07:05Donovan steps up, looking to pack it.
07:06It's blocked by a very brave Praori.
07:09He reached in there and ripped it away.
07:10Yeah, good hands, good timing.
07:15There's a look at Nolan, 19-year-old Frenchman.
07:19Yeah, he got it clean.
07:23Four and four tenths on the inbounds.
07:25Denny, a 15-footer.
07:28I'm going to attempt to back tap it off the body.
07:31Wilson, controlled by Traore.
07:35Off it comes to Claxton's pump fake.
07:38Lean in lefties, book it off the window.
07:48I'm going to try to go back door and slip away from Williams.
07:53Can't.
07:53This is the second option, Holliday.
07:55Muscles his way inside of Traore.
07:57And it's a little further.
07:58Yeah, he gave him a double bump.
07:59First one to back him down into the paint.
08:01The second to back him into the restricted area.
08:04Drew coming in average at 16 and 6.
08:06This assists with a steal again.
08:09Claxton.
08:14Might not move it well without the ball.
08:16Got tangled up and fouled.
08:20Drew just takes his time getting where he's got to go
08:22because the strength on the first bump
08:23and then the second bump gives him the space
08:25he needs to get the shot off.
08:32This is going to have to be a week of absolute focus
08:35for the Blazers.
08:36You can consider the win-loss record of these teams.
08:38The opponent's coming in there.
08:39Traore outside.
08:41Triggers a three.
08:42It's off.
08:42The rebound to Klingon.
08:45Sissoko up the floor.
08:46Long the edge.
08:47Turns.
08:48Faces up for mid-range.
08:49Denny takes the rebound out of the clutter.
08:51Laid it up.
08:52That was wayward.
08:53Kamara's after it.
08:54Can't come up with it.
08:54Traore does.
08:55He busts loose and centers it here to Williams.
08:58And he sticks a floater on the move.
09:01Well, the Blazers' misfortune is the next treasurer.
09:06A missed layup leads to a runout.
09:08Usually teams have numbers when you miss a layup.
09:13A little inside-out dribble.
09:15Finds Kamara in rhythm for three.
09:17Banked it up and in.
09:18He'll take it to Monte Glass tonight.
09:20He'll take that.
09:23He'll take it to Monte Glass tonight.
09:25We've got to get a shot of that glass, by the way.
09:30Thirty-five percent of the year, to Monte.
09:42It is literally to Monte Glass tonight.
09:45It's literally.
09:49Have you seen a glass tonight?
09:51Not yet.
09:51I haven't seen it to Monte.
09:52You will before it's all set.
09:53Yeah, we've got to get it to Monte.
09:58Some of that non-alcoholic beer.
09:59I was about to say, I want to monitor what they're going to put in your glass.
10:02For the crew.
10:03For the crew.
10:04Good.
10:06Good long road trip.
10:07Reserved break.
10:09Williams loses the handle.
10:11Denny picks it up on the advance.
10:12Here he's clinging.
10:14Finds the trailer.
10:15It's Holliday.
10:16He'll bring it up back outside.
10:17They'll set the floor.
10:20Off the screen.
10:21They draw the switch.
10:22Williams on Holliday.
10:23And trying to pitch it over to Tomani.
10:25Throws it over to Courtney Watson.
10:28Along the sideline.
10:29That blazer bench better stay active.
10:31Yeah.
10:31If this is any indication.
10:32Kristen can't save y'all over there.
10:34No.
10:35Over here, we're safe, y'all.
10:36It's a different story.
10:39It's two passes through over there to the bench.
10:43That's right.
10:45In the half court.
10:46Eight-eight ball game.
10:52Josh Bynight.
10:54Formerly the Minnesota Timberwolves.
10:56Max, Wuerl, Sissoko really giving us a business.
11:02Blazers foul the cutter.
11:05Jalen Wilson on his way to the rack.
11:08He's going to shoot two.
11:10Well, the defense from City is a tone-setting type of defense.
11:13And everybody else has to get on board with him consistently.
11:17There have been sometimes they have.
11:18But it's got to be consistent.
11:19It's got to be a game that just got a whole lot better with Best Day Brewing.
11:24Great tasting, non-alcoholic beer with all the flavor, none of the alcohol.
11:27Perfect for tonight's game or any day.
11:29Find it at Best Day Brewing.
11:30It would look great in the Kamara glass or any of those commemorative classes that the players have been.
11:38They are nice.
11:38Give it out this year.
11:47They're going to have a special soup spoon for Brooke Olsendam.
11:52Final game of the year.
11:54Brooke Olsendam commemorative soup spoon.
11:57That is true.
11:57You know how she loves her soup.
11:59Yeah.
12:01Brooklyn on top here at 9-8.
12:02Seven and a half to go for his court.
12:08It's going to make you envious.
12:11Me?
12:12I'm already thinking about it.
12:14It's going to make you envious.
12:17It's going to make you envious.
12:18Oh, no.
12:19Of the soup spoon.
12:20No, no envy over here.
12:22Another mid-range hopper.
12:25Claxton, a mid-range on the run.
12:27Tell you what, they are pulling up and sticking that little 10-footer.
12:30I want to see my teammates win, Cav.
12:32I want a spoon for Brooke, for you, and for the Blazers to get it together after this timeout.
12:37Maybe some souvenir cutlery.
12:39Yeah.
12:40With Lamar's image right there.
12:41No, no, no.
12:42The stainless steel.
12:42Don't do that.
12:43It would have to be so good.
12:48Welcome back to Moda Center on this Monday evening where the Blazers trail 11-8.
12:53There's a lot of time left to go in this ballgame.
12:55Well, after a five-game road trip in which they went 3-2, the Blazers are now home for four
13:01starting tonight, of course.
13:02So, earlier, I asked Tiago Spiller, of course, all these games are so important.
13:06So, what do you want to see from your guys on this homestand?
13:09Keep getting better.
13:11Stay connected on offense.
13:13You know, control the rebounds.
13:14The turnover's got to be down.
13:16So, things that we've got to get better throughout these 10 games that we have left.
13:21And get ready for the play.
13:23One game at a time.
13:25There you go.
13:26And speaking of that little motto, I asked Drew Holliday, who's been to many a postseason, the guys are talking
13:32about the standings, the veterans saying not really.
13:34They just have to focus on, as Tiago said, one game at a time.
13:38That's his message to the young guys as well.
13:40Thank you, Brooke.
13:42And Tiago, of course, concerned about the turnovers.
13:44Already, the Blazers stricken with four to four, five points scored off of the turnovers.
13:51Traore will pressure up the floor as Scoot Henderson gets his first run of the evening.
13:56They'll bring it across with Denny Odvia, Donovan Clingit, Chris Murray, and Batiste Thib will see their first action.
14:02Skip pass, cross court, five already hands the three.
14:05Knocked it down.
14:05He's been shooting the three extremely well since coming back, Lamar.
14:08Defense has to account for the roller.
14:10They dip in, and Denny sees that.
14:12That's the vision we talked about pregame.
14:15Tee's shooting 38% from three.
14:18Yeah, this side looks good.
14:19Sure does.
14:20And getting nearly two steals again as well.
14:25Traore spins, drives into the lane.
14:27Goes right at Clingit, missed the runner.
14:29And the rebound recovered by the Blazers, and Murray handling.
14:35Amir spots a seed before he's going right at it.
14:39And that's what he definitely got found.
14:43But power through.
14:46Puts the Blazers on top here by two.
14:49Denny got robbed on a Claxton screen.
14:53Clingit with the rebound, and Scoot on the advance.
14:56Batiste's open cross court.
14:58He's got another three.
14:59About the same spot in the last one.
15:01It comes off long.
15:02And Traore will field it.
15:07Williams sidesteps Clingit.
15:09Nice move on the run.
15:13There's that Kamara glass.
15:17Great, my sake.
15:18It delivers our glassware.
15:19Tony Smith at the controls tonight.
15:21Using our broadcaster to have him along.
15:24Into the lane.
15:25Matisse Stiebel's tied up.
15:26And a whistle.
15:32Watch this, Kev.
15:34Matisse's defender's got to step into this action.
15:36So now, he's wide open.
15:38And is Scoot making the pass?
15:39It was my mistake.
15:40I was credited in the pass to Denny.
15:42It was Scoot making that pass, though, with his vision.
15:45And both of those guys, Scoot and Denny,
15:47we've seen switch off and on at the point guard position.
15:50And they both can get that done.
15:51So that's been nice for the Blazers to have that combo.
16:00Ben Saroff will step on.
16:02He's another one of those first-round draft choices acquired.
16:0526th pick in the draft.
16:07And Cheney Johnson, who played extremely well last week
16:11against the Blazers, scoring and rebounding the ball.
16:15Rookie out of Auburn, 23 years of age.
16:18Playing it as just his ninth game of the year for the Nets.
16:21He is a two-way contract player.
16:29Fievel missing a couple of free throws here.
16:31And the Nets go to work.
16:33Fievel gets it right back.
16:34He says, I'm going to go get two.
16:36Right here with the steal and the bucket.
16:41He's one of the most dangerous players in the NBA
16:43on a very short list to try to have any kind of exchange
16:48or ball handling around.
16:50If he's in the area, he's probably going to come away with it
16:53or disrupt it at the very least.
17:04And shoot three.
17:05Got it.
17:06Scoot Henderson filling it up early.
17:07He launches another three.
17:09Got it again.
17:10Scoot is flaming hot.
17:12Keys up a triple here and knocks it down with great authority.
17:17Slows down.
17:18Pops a three.
17:19Got it.
17:19Thirty-nine for Scoot.
17:25It's Tom Haverstrad with tonight's Haverstat.
17:28It is 68.2%.
17:30That is Scoot Henderson's true shooting percentage
17:33against the Brooklyn Nets in his career.
17:36True shooting percentage is just your field goal percentage
17:38weighted for three-pointers and free throw attempts.
17:41You can think of it as your shot efficiency.
17:4268% is the best for Scoot Henderson against any opponent in the NBA.
17:49Only three teams he's had at least 60% shooting on the true shooting percentage scale.
17:55And that is one of them is the Nets, Pacers, and Bucs.
17:59Bucs he's playing later in the week.
18:01And one thing you have to watch for Scoot Henderson in action is how he changes directions.
18:07Here he is against the Brooklyn Nets.
18:09Changes once, twice, three times, and then finishes on the other side of the rim on the right side.
18:15The reverse layup.
18:17Something that when he's confident and out there and feeling his game,
18:21he is very shifty out there.
18:23So watch him tonight against this Brooklyn Nets team.
18:26Tonight's Havercite is presented by First Tech Federal Credit Union
18:29who invites you to explore the many exclusive perks and experiences of First Tech Beyond.
18:34Back to you guys.
18:36Thank you, Tom.
18:37Scoot joined out there by Advia, Thiebel, Klingon, and Murray after the timeout.
18:42Chaney Johnson with the ball working with it up top for the Nets.
18:45Minot gets off the three.
18:51Minot giving the Nets a lead here.
18:53One with five minutes left in the first period.
18:56Scoot clears midcourt.
18:57Puts it first on Traorio.
19:00Now we'll bring it around the screen.
19:02Rifles the pass that's deflected.
19:03Murray makes the catch.
19:04That's the night issue.
19:07Murray backs in on Rick.
19:09Turns away from the static.
19:10Leading up and in as he draws contact.
19:12Going to the strong hand.
19:15Took his time.
19:17He was actually wanting to get that ball over to Donovan.
19:20But he got so deep in the paint.
19:22And once he drop stepped right here, he saw he had the action.
19:34So a chance at a three-point play for the third-year pro out of Iowa.
19:41Tony Fernandez trades three for three in his lineup.
19:46He got onto the floor.
19:47Tyson Etienne, six-foot, 26-year-old from Wichita State.
19:52He's able to get down the third-year pro for one of those.
19:55He's 6'6".
19:56He's 6'6".
19:57He's 6'6".
20:02He's 6'6".
20:02He's 6'6".
20:03He's 6'6".
20:05He's 6'6".
20:25There's your Axiom defensive play of the night.
20:30Chris Murray going up high.
20:32Several Blazers in the area.
20:34Nice bounce pass from Denny.
20:36Scoot can't get it to go, but Denny cleans it up.
20:39Throw off the lid for Denny.
20:41Axiom eco-pass control.
20:43Stomps out pass to protect your house.
20:46You bet.
20:47Trying to protect the house tonight to the Blazers.
20:49Returning home for a nice stretch of home games.
20:52Heads down with it, props it off in deep.
20:55Good movement without the ball.
20:56Ben Saroff laid it up and in.
20:58Yeah, that pass had to be perfect because that's Matisse over there.
21:01And he rarely misses or gets beat on that kind of action.
21:05Bible makes a catch and then goes right to work and draws the foul as he drives it to the
21:09paint.
21:12He's going to step up for two more.
21:14Ben Saroff missed first.
21:22He runs in the air in the air in the air.
21:23Friends on a piece of Blazers history with 1977 Experience.
21:27Authentic Championship court pieces started to $150.
21:30Visit Travelasures.com slash the 1977 experience.
21:43He's had a tough year with the injuries, he's come back now to play 21 games, averaging
21:4913 minutes.
21:50Got a season high in minutes yesterday at Denver with 25.
21:54All of the minutes are good minutes.
21:57Productive on both ends.
21:58Right now he's gonna switch it here.
22:01Denny's gonna take Sarraf along the baseline.
22:06Stepping out of bounds is Malachi Smith, a 26-year-old out of Gonzaga.
22:13He is on a 10-day contract.
22:20Blazers up four.
22:21Abbie, working, drives it on Smith, swings over to Batiste in the corner.
22:26Hooks it back to Denny as they swap sides.
22:29Denny towers above Etienne for a three.
22:32He missed a shot.
22:33Fields his own miss.
22:34Find Sissoko.
22:34One dribble.
22:36Out it comes to Murray for three out of the corner.
22:38Got it.
22:39Good looking side from Chris.
22:41Puts a mirror into that one.
22:43Yeah.
22:44Let's just leave by seven.
22:45315 to play here in the first quarter.
22:47Brooklyn.
22:48And the Brooklyn Nets call time.
22:50And then we will step aside.
22:53And when we come back, we'll show you that Kamara glass.
22:56Oh, that looks so good.
22:57Oh, yeah.
22:59May have to use that at half tomorrow.
23:00Okay.
23:07There's a good looking pit there.
23:09Kamani.
23:10Good stuff.
23:10This is all defense.
23:11Born in Brussels, Belgium.
23:13The box.
23:15Very nice.
23:16They don't have free thinker on there though?
23:18Does not.
23:19Doesn't have renaissance man on there or free thinker.
23:21Yeah.
23:21That's got to be next season then.
23:22Free thinking man.
23:24Born in Belgium.
23:27Metriculated.
23:28Metriculated.
23:29Metriculated.
23:30Georgia.
23:31And later deep in the Flyers.
23:33He's a fly out.
23:36Etienne triggers a three out of the time out.
23:38Lands with the thud.
23:39And Denny Advia fields the rebound.
23:43Denny outside of Kamara.
23:45There he is.
23:45Out of Brussels.
23:46For three.
23:47Book it.
23:48It's going to take two defenders and go with Denny.
23:51So Tumani gets the open shot.
23:58So Rob feeds into the corner.
24:01And adjusting his sights a little bit.
24:04Is that Deion knocking down the triple?
24:09Blazers upset.
24:10They had been on a 12-2 run previous to that time out.
24:13I've been trying to go downhill.
24:14Switches right to left hand.
24:15I'll see that that's the second move.
24:17Shaves the defender in there.
24:19Rolled in.
24:20That's the one I've been a proponent of since the start of the season.
24:23He can get like seven of those attempts a game.
24:31Jadie Johnson switches left to right hand.
24:33Turns the corner and flips it with a snap of the wrist.
24:36That's a nice move.
24:38Sure is.
24:38He was impressive last week against the Blazers.
24:41I think he had like 18 and 7 against the Blazers.
24:44Kamara with it up top.
24:47Denny hesitates.
24:48Now he goes in full turbo.
24:50Pulls up.
24:51Off it comes to Burrow.
24:55Five to shoot.
24:57Sissoko's got a live one.
24:58They'll fire the triple.
24:59Fighting to get the rebound.
25:01Kamara.
25:02Says to City.
25:03Pump fake.
25:04Drew Johnson into it.
25:05And draws the foul.
25:08Second chance points.
25:10That's part of the Blazers strategy.
25:11Tumani Kamara.
25:13One of the best at the wing position and get it back for his team.
25:19Tumani Sissoko.
25:20Tumani Sissoko.
25:41Tumani Sissoko.
25:42Tumani is out as well.
25:44And Rob Williams has been the protocol all year.
25:47Not playing in the second of the back to back.
26:01Tumani Sissoko.
26:03Tumani Sissoko.
26:15Tumani Sissoko.
26:18a big man he backs him off and then pivots gets here to sissoko he tries to get that euro
26:24step
26:24going and he does yeah that was good defense on smith and that's good offense from city
26:30decelerating and changing his direction
26:42at the end 10 shoot three
26:46that's his second triple suit is battery yeah baby
26:54still hot from that ncaa weekend yeah everyone important enjoyed great stories about that
27:04holiday double team bounces to sissoko out it comes to scooter
27:09it's self-adjusted with a sweeping crossover sets it up to chris with three back on rebound
27:15control by sarah reaching in with scoot he raked him across the wrist and a foul on scooter
27:26blazers over the limit so then it's come the other way to shoot
27:39and sarah steps up sarah 26 pick in the draft just 19 years of age born in johannesburg south africa
27:50and citizenship in israel
27:5410 of 20 last night
27:57is high this year 22
28:01five assists as well
28:04and he's going to get to the game in the out of the out of the city
28:12dago droman
28:14not playing tonight he's played 52 games this year he's got a plan of fast shot this
28:18he was the top of the picks he had the eighth ranking in the draft
28:25blazers come right down the floor for a very little time right out of the net
28:29and a good two-man play between holliday and murray the blazers add on to build a lead of five
28:34against the determined brooklyn nets
28:4135 30 after one nick claxton leading the way for brooklyn with eight denny alvia with eight points
28:48come back with that second quarter run here to moda in a moment
28:52the blazers are up early after the first quarter for tonight's chipotle real difference maker we're
28:58focusing on the three-point shooting they're at 50 percent from downtown already in this one
29:03this is mani kamar with two for two from deep and this is important because the blazers are 19
29:08and eight this season with a 704 win percentage when they shoot better than average league average
29:15from downtown so this is really the difference maker the swing factor for the blazers if they
29:21can get hot from downtown they're one of the best teams in the nba so tonight so far so good
29:27against
29:28the brooklyn nets thank you tom but lamar those four turnovers the blazers have had for five
29:35free throw shooting five of ten up top here's holliday into the lane to cling and standing right there in
29:41the dunker spot and no one can challenge it break down defensively for the nets two defenders go to
29:47the right through holiday has a direct line drive pulls over the one defender and throws the lob
29:54net shooting 58 percent the first quarter against the blazers look at
29:58kamar get a piece of that one deflecting it away
30:02gives to batiste thiebel out on top here to holiday
30:06pretty good defensive unit out on the floor right now with five ball
30:10step it back and another pass that's
30:14inexplicable it's been three of them here tonight the blazers have just thrown into space
30:17treyori comes down he triggers a three he comes down off the shoe top of his teammate wilson and out
30:22of bounds
30:26jordi fernandez
30:29canadian olympic coach nate yorklin assisted him
30:37he comes across the middle
30:37holiday double team slip in the screen clinton swings it outside blake wesley
30:44probes comes across the middle try to bounce it back i think to cling it that one gets away
30:49tall for that another bad blazer pass into the lane going lefty claxton tomani
30:56changed the direction to that one holiday the other way this is the second of a back-to-back
31:00after a five-game trip not an excuse but there is not only physical fatigue but also mental
31:07kamar though steps up and he drills his third three he's three and three out there and he's got
31:1210 of the blazers lead by 10 because those passes are fixed yeah a lot of them are into the
31:24lane
31:24as well and he's bumped and fouled wilson hits to the line
31:30and he's got on free for money tomorrow to money kamara picks up his second
31:38why
31:47one okay bad enough and get the foul call but you can allow him to shoot
31:52take a look at the pacific office automation stats
31:55That's shooting hot basketball Blazers 15 to 25.
32:00Five of nine from three of the Blazers.
32:02Point advantage.
32:04Blazers.
32:08Wilson.
32:21Blazers faithful trying to ignite the Blazers here.
32:25Holliday spins into the paint, swings it outside.
32:28Kamara will raise another three.
32:29Tamani's having one of those nights.
32:324-4 from three-point range.
32:34It's his night.
32:36Starting with that bank shot.
32:43Klingon denies Minot.
32:45Donovan Klingon averaging nearly two blocks a game.
32:48I think Tumani's going about this the right way.
32:50It's his glass night, so start the night off with the first shot off the glass.
32:54And then go back to all net.
32:57Defense from Donovan.
32:58Wessler Newhouse Redmar went into three more diamonds in the blindly most.
33:04Two, three, three, three.
33:10Tumani!
33:10Two, three, four.
33:13Well, problems risley nearly got that one in the air.
33:16But as it was, he forced Wilson off balance, off his finger tips out of bounds.
33:20Nice play Blake West. He's working. He's solo out there because Donovan's in the drop
33:23So Blake is navigating that screen by himself a lot of hard work there
33:35Somebody shifts it behind the back down it
33:38Slants in puts the defender on his hip but followed by Kamara just comes up short of traffic
33:43And Wilson will bring it across
33:50Trey over head up
33:53Floater over clinking and the rebound a holiday on the push
34:0513 to shoot Wesley on to drive
34:12Yeah, that's offensive on
34:20Second of Donovan clinging
34:28Trying to close some space
34:33Blazers up twelve eight thirty eight remaining in the second quarter to bring it out of backcourt
34:40All the game
34:43Off the screen of Boxton, two-man play, Boxton down hill, can't finish over clinging
34:49Donovan stands his ground, look at him chuck down the floor now, Holliday look in that direction
34:54Swings it on the wing here to five up, now they get it to Donovan, down low with Wilson on
34:58his hip
34:59Spins leads in, gets leveraged, no tap to one spell, got it
35:04Regroups and laid it up and in Donovan, clinging
35:06Cannot be denied with notable efforts
35:08Once he gets it up there on the rear, miss his ball
35:13Blazers building a lead here of 14
35:167.57 to go, second quarter
35:20Traore
35:20Traore tripped up as Wesley was there, but I'm not sure he
35:26Didn't anything more than bother Traore
35:37Is Donovan going to work down low, drop step, doesn't get the first shot to go, but
35:41If it's a rebound contest and he's down there, especially
35:44With a bunch of shorter guys, he's gonna win that most of the time
35:49Leading the league in offensive rebounds
35:51Into the paint, Williams, swerves in, can't finish at the rim
35:55Linging head, stripped away
35:57But a foul as Wilson reached in
36:03You gotta call it on Claxton actually, Wilson was in the vicinity
36:147.40 to play in the second, the Blazers up
36:1814
36:19With Holliday on the wing for three
36:22Clingit just takes that one away
36:25Fires it outside to five
36:27He'll drive in between defenders trying to tuck up a reverse
36:31And is fouled in doing so
36:33He'll shoot two
36:34Nice move
36:38We're getting to see a lot of Matisse off the dribble
36:41We're getting to see a lot of Matisse off the dribble
36:42Last several weeks
36:46It's good off the bounce

37:39Matisse is his first team's fourth
37:44Iron Man
37:45He's dealt with a number of injuries during the course of his career
37:47Now in his fifth year out of Stanford
37:51Played three years with
37:53Memphis Grizzlies
37:54Usually a 10th pick in the draft
37:56In 20 years
38:03Played at Sierra Canyon High School
38:09Did he play with Briney James?
38:11I feel like he did
38:12I feel like he did
38:14Holiday up the high screen pitches it into the corner
38:17That's intercepted by Wick
38:20Seven plays a turnover
38:22Claxton
38:24Crosses into the fan
38:25Swoops in and lays it up and in
38:27Thiago
38:28Splitter
38:28Balls time
38:29Maybe one of those nights tonight
38:32Those are turnovers mounting
38:33Taking him out of their rhythm
38:3546-37 count
38:37Donovan Klingin though
38:38He's gonna give you
38:39A blue collar effort
38:41Every night on the window
38:42It's 6.50 to go
38:43This first half of Portland
38:48Snore of basketball today
38:49Official
38:50You're just about to
38:51Because he is doing something
38:52Extremely unique
38:53Some people would say crazy
38:55But he is visiting all 30 arenas
38:57In 30 days
38:58He is here tonight
39:00On I believe
39:00Your 27th stop in the NBA
39:02What an amazing experience
39:04How has this been for you?
39:05Unbelievable
39:06This is called the scrapbook of fun for a reason
39:08I think if there was a rule
39:09Saying if you have a certain amount of fun
39:11You get arrested
39:11I'd be a felon right now
39:12Having way too much fun
39:14Okay, I have to ask you
39:15What have some of your highlights been on this trip?
39:17Yes, yes, great question
39:18So first up
39:20Somehow
39:20Made a half-court shot of the Milwaukee Bucks game
39:22I did air ball the first two
39:24We're gonna forget about that
39:25Then we went to San Antonio a few weeks later
39:28And we got to watch Jorge
39:29A Make-A-Wish kid
39:30Become a San Antonio Spur for a day
39:32It was such a beautiful moment
39:33The entire arena was chanting his name
39:35For three minutes during the timeout
39:37Everyone's crying
39:38I'm crying
39:39It was beautiful
39:40But last but not least
39:41We were there
39:42For Bam Adebayo's
39:4583 point performance
39:47Still feels fake
39:48Can't believe that happens
39:49We couldn't believe it either
39:50We played that night
39:51So I have to ask
39:52You said of course you're doing this for Make-A-Wish
39:54Why was that so important for you to do?
39:56Yeah, yeah
39:56So we wanted to do this series
39:57Make it something bigger than myself
39:59Right?
39:59If this was just me going to 30 arenas
40:00That's cool
40:01But we have so much attention
40:02Why not use that for good cause?
40:04Make-A-Wish just integrates so well with the series
40:06We've been able to meet four Make-A-Wish kids
40:08And alums at these games
40:09At these arenas
40:10It's just such a beautiful cause
40:12And here's the thing about Make-A-Wish
40:13They don't do any marketing
40:14It's reliant on brands
40:16PR like y'all
40:18Creators
40:18To promote what they're doing
40:19To raise awareness
40:19To raise money
40:20And so we talked to their team
40:22They were such a fit to work
40:23It was so wholesome
40:24So sweet
40:25We were like we have to support them
40:26And then here we are
40:28Doing fantastic work
40:29So you've been to many cities
40:31I have to ask
40:32How's Portland?
40:32How's Moda Center?
40:33Unbelievable
40:34Y'all were the first team to hook us up
40:36With court side seats
40:37It's been crazy
40:38Watch my boy Matisse ball out
40:40I'm like I can't wait to go back
40:41This game is sick
40:43But yeah we haven't tried any of the food yet
40:45I heard it's all local
40:45Very excited about that
40:47And then we gotta get out of here
40:49Right at 10 for our next city
40:50We are hospitable if nothing else
40:52Nice work
40:53You're doing amazing stuff
40:54And thank you so much for visiting
40:55I'm so glad you got sick courtside
40:56Yes
40:56Thanks so much
40:57Let's go Blazers
41:00Great job Justin
41:01Great job Justin
41:02Wow 15 days out
41:03And he sees an 83 point game
41:04A historic game
41:06That's crazy
41:06Yeah
41:08Great for the kids
41:09And the cause
41:11I'd be up
41:12The floor crossing over
41:13Into the lane
41:14Scoops
41:14No
41:15And he's knocked down and fouled
41:20So a beautiful driving
41:23Twisting lay in by Murray a minute ago
41:25They got the and one
41:30It's foul on Claxton
41:32And it's steady
41:33I'd be into the line
41:34Blazers trying to overwhelm them with force
41:38That would have been clinging a moment ago
41:40Getting another block
41:41That gives him three for the game
41:48Just trying to build a lead here
41:50Just as they did against Brooklyn
41:53Last week
41:54But Brooklyn came out
41:56Lively
41:57I remember that first four or five minutes of play
41:59In the third quarter
42:00They took it to the Blazers
42:01I think that an interesting game
42:03You're right
42:04Down the stretch
42:06Kind of a scary game
42:10I'd be a given the Blazers to lead the 13
42:15Winsle inside out
42:17Tucks
42:17In under Murray and draws the foul
42:28So it's 540 to play in the first half
42:31The Nets
42:31Get Williams again at the line here
42:56Cheney Johnson will step back in for Brooklyn
43:07To a contract player
43:09Rookie from Auburn
43:21Five and a half left here second group
43:24Denny I'd be a racing down the floor
43:27And Williams got popped right in the forehead
43:29And the foul is going to be called on him
43:34He's mad he's saying Denny threw his head into him
43:47Winsle
43:47First of all
43:47Officials conferring here
43:51Take a look
44:10Yeah, the fouls on Williams.
44:14Don't know how the.
44:18Yeah, the fouls on Williams.
44:26And Mitchell Irvin saying that
44:27is going to take a look here
44:27looking for a hostile act.
44:30Getting this right it did just
44:32call the foul on Williams.
44:47And Mitchell Irvin saying that
44:48they will take a look here
44:50looking for a hostile act
44:51could be upgraded to a flagrant.
45:02He's ready to announce.
45:06After review, there's no hostile act going to play.
45:09However, Brooklyn has called a timeout
45:11to challenge the previous defensive foul.
45:19So Mitchell said it all.
45:21They'll review.
45:26As Williams definitely got the worst of that.
45:29And we will go to break with 536 remaining in the second quarter.
45:33Blazers leading 50 to 39.
45:43Well, the Nets were successful in challenging the call.
45:46It was a foul called against Sire Williams.
45:49And it said it's reversed and it's an offensive foul on Denny Abdiah.
45:54It's a successful challenge applied by the Nets.
46:01Jordy Fredenda is flanked by Juwan Howard on his left shoulder
46:05and on his right shoulder, Steve Hetzel, formerly of the Blazers coaching staff.
46:09Good to see Hetz.
46:11Always back in town.
46:12Good man.
46:15So, Brooklyn will swing it and play with E.J. Liddell handling.
46:20Denny Abdiah gets involved.
46:22The ball scored three.
46:23It's grabbed by.
46:23Scoot up the floor.
46:24Wave a block into the lane.
46:25Comes Denny.
46:26And can't finish.
46:28But it's foul.
46:29Abdiah steps back to the line.
46:31Donovan having some fun with him.
46:33Let him know you got to finish that.
46:37That's about 77.
46:38That's his second personal penalty.
46:41It's a good no-look pass from school, too, to set him up.
46:49Fans, let's take a look at tonight's Alaska Airlines dunk of the game, shall we?
46:53Okay, between free throws.
46:55Here we go.
46:56Get to see more points on the board for the Blazers.
46:59Lob pass.
47:00Drew to D.C.
47:02Atmos Rewards is the combined loyalty program by the Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines.
47:07Visit atmosrewards.com to start your journey.
47:09The number one airline rewards program.
47:12Advia.
47:14Knocks down a couple of free throws.
47:1552-39 count Blazers.
47:175-18 to play.
47:18Second quarter.
47:21Keeney Johnson handling.
47:26Clinging after the board.
47:27That's tapped away from behind by Johnson out of bounds.
47:30Blazer ball.
47:35Portland tonight dominating on the glass.
47:37A 19-10 advantage.
47:38Donovan already up to nine boards at 14 minutes of work.
47:44And an 18-13 rebound effort against Denver yesterday.
47:48Blake Wesley about a 14-footer straightaway is off.
47:51Zone defense that time from the Nets.
47:53Blake got a wide-open look.
47:54They'll take that.
47:56Atiyan off the screen.
47:57Off to the cutter.
47:59So Rob, it's denied by Clingit.
48:02He'll spin it outside to Denny.
48:03On the run.
48:03High-stepping into the lane.
48:05Bam!
48:05He goes right into a man.
48:08And a charge call on Denny-Andrea.
48:10And he is adamant that they need to take a look at the challenge here.
48:14Cooler heads may prevail over there along the bench as they take a look at the replay.
48:19Yeah, I don't think it's a worthwhile challenge.
48:21Only because the guy's feet, he does stop.
48:25There's a slight lean, but not so much as that lean getting the guy into legal position.
48:30I just don't...
48:31I think that would have been a risky challenge at best.
48:33Yeah, I do too.
48:39I'd be a third foul.
48:414.40 to go second quarter.
48:46Henderson is in along with Holliday.
48:49Cheney Johnson up top.
48:50Pump fake.
48:51Driving.
48:52That's a good move.
48:53He can lay it in.
48:53Yeah, he can get Donovan out above the three-point line and use his speed.
48:57He's kind of frozen with that pump fake.
48:5911-point lead.
49:00It's a good test with Donovan guarding that style of golf.
49:03And one for Blake Wesley.
49:08Sarov reaches in to get him.
49:10But the harder push might have come from his teammate Rob Williams III.
49:14He looked at Rob like he just ran into a brick wall or something.
49:17There goes the contact from Sarov.
49:20But that was the least of Blake's worries on this play.
49:23And one, count the bucket. He's good with that.
49:26It was Rob getting off the bench giving us some contact.
49:30This free throw, scrapping for it.
49:33Malachi Smith digs it out.
49:43Jaloff has it dislodged by Scoot Henderson and they're going to call a reach.
49:48Oh, I'm over here.
49:49A double-zero.
49:55I thought Scoot got that clean.
50:02I'm calling on a Clingon pick it up.
50:04Yeah, third foul in Clingon.
50:06And you're right.
50:06He did get a clean.
50:08Scoot did.
50:14Eighty-percenter at the line.
50:15Back in the game.
50:16Clingon is up.
50:20Go, go, go.
50:24Go, go, go.
50:25Go, go, go.
50:41Go, go, go.
50:41Go, go, go.
50:42Go, go, go.
50:44Go, go, go.
50:47Go, go, go.
50:51Go, go, go.

53:19no not enough
53:34holiday quickly in the front court but he looked upset he looked upset like it's time to score
53:39outしい yeah
53:45users
53:46lasers up 13 2 49 to play second quarter sur rock
53:51pressured by murray large drives dumps into attention to a cutter
54:09That's the way the Blazers started the game.
54:10Getting Tumani coming up, just setting that screen.
54:13Doesn't have to make a lot of contact.
54:14The point of it is just to get Tumani's defender on the high side.
54:18Once that happens, the Blazers win.
54:19They know the bottom side is cleared out for that pass.
54:23Tumani having a half.
54:2416 points for Tumani Kamara.
54:274-5 from the line.
54:284-4 from 3.
54:33And he's not attempted anything other than the three-point shot at 15 minutes.
54:37That's what the last night would do to you.
54:39What did you do when they had Kevin Collabo bobblehead night?
54:43I tried to buy every one of those bobbleheads so that they wouldn't have the bobblehead night.
54:51They come and jump the ball.
54:54Saurabh has it stripped as the Blazers put some full-court pressure on the nets.
55:00It's a good ploy to use now.
55:02Then generate your own energy.
55:03Up 13 with 2.24 to go in the second.
55:07But after a long trip, second of a back-to-back, you've got to be judicious and using that.
55:17Scoop tripped up, trying to get to the rim.
55:21What are you talking about?
55:22The bobblehead night or something else?
55:24I'm talking about the bobblehead.
55:25Oh, okay.
55:29No, I'm talking about the trap of the double-team out of the front.
55:32I was wanting to learn about it.
55:34Speed things up.
55:35Surprise.
55:36Why don't you talk about speeding up, buying up all the bobbleheads?
55:39No, they wouldn't let me do that.
55:41Okay.
55:42Bobblehead night went on.
55:45Did you have a good performance?
55:46My son for Christmas on eBay several years ago and several years after the promotion.
56:00Bought me a whole bunch of those, about a dozen of them.
56:04And I think he paid, like, 50 cents.
56:08Come on, man.
56:08So, come on, man.
56:09It's not like 50 cents.
56:10It's not like it was an artifact.
56:12I was not 50.
56:12I'm not believing those 50 cents.
56:14It's the value plummeted.
56:15No.
56:15On the open market.
56:17Well, that value has risen.
56:19It's like an investment.
56:22Yeah, maybe.
56:23Jamie Johnson.
56:25Johnson hits to the line.
56:27I'm going to contact him.
56:28I'm going to buy him for a dollar and then flip him for 150.
56:30I bet you could.
56:31I bet you could get it easily on eBay for like a buck.
56:37Johnson knocks it down.
56:40The Blazers up 13 with 2.05 to go in a second.
57:00The Blazers up 13 with two minutes left here in this first half.
57:04Holiday, hard left-hand dribble drive right to the rack to lay it up and in.
57:08I think you're right, Lamar.
57:09I think he's stewing after that call against him.
57:17And beyond the other way, circles up, Pop.
