00:05it's nba basketball on 2k sports we're glad you could join us on this exciting
00:10flight night matchup hi everyone kevin harlan with me tonight stan van gundy and greg anthony
00:16and ali la force is reporting on the sidelines and taking a broader look here at the year over
00:23year scoring trend for jimmy butler well as your career goes along you naturally lose a little bit
00:29but he takes great care of himself he puts a lot of effort into his preparation and he's smart about
00:36picking his spots that's why he's still a factor out there on the offensive end now the starting
00:42group for the visitors they've got mitchell aiden watson is out there with kevin hurter then it's
00:48keon ellis it's nagy in at the five and for the warriors they're going with healed and butler on
00:55the wing kaminga steps in at the four with green sliding up to center and it's curry in at the
01:01point and the nba starting greg to enter the third act of the regular season a lot of teams looking
01:08for that extra gear right now yeah some fans might think that everything is decided at this point of
01:14the season but there's a lot of games left and nothing is written in stone yeah he may be thin
01:20but ellis has that wiry strength keon can handle physical play shots good by butler just setting
01:27the tone with an aggressive move to the rack and where's the help defensively well when you are the
01:34aggressor this early it is intimidating now here's watson good it's mitchell picking up the assist
01:43and that's exactly what he's looking for draining the triple curry wide open off target from three
01:51point range
01:53johnson with it out guarded by healed here's nagy for three ellis the warriors pull it in and the great
02:03shooters know when they've got enough opening to go for the three i didn't think it was a bad choice
02:08on that possession coming up off target from outside drawn one or two from long range in the first
02:16quarter ellis kicks to herter over butler green with the rebound that's a shot he's gotta hit you
02:26don't get many looks better from that range here's curry with the three and the three ball is good curry
02:33it's just lethal from outside gone two for four from the field so far today mitchell passes to herter back
02:42to mitchell
02:45good for the basket starting off one for one with that shot well the defense can't lose track of him
02:51he's just too talented offensive
02:56and butler here we go and sand dunk by butler well this is where butler is elite
03:02the ability to score the ball going downhill and you look at the addition of jimmy butler g8 why
03:10has he been such a fit for the warriors he really is an unselfish high iq superstar and that's what
03:17the warriors are all about and and his isolation interior scoring has given them another look
03:24offensive it doesn't matter if it's off the bounce or off the catch curry never loses rhythm
03:31on his jump shot
03:34nagi passes to ellis now mitchell watson for three hits it from three-point ring watson's got a second
03:42bucket tonight matching baskets from the perimeter and earmark of today's game
03:48sometimes you get in a shootout like this but you just hope that you can get a stop first
03:57good drive by mitchell laid in with a nice touch off the glass mitchell's got six points good way to
04:04start this game you want to get him rolling as early as possible yeah and i'll tell you what if
04:11he gets
04:11into a good rhythm early watch out because you have to respect that outside shot that the drive is
04:18often there for hill
04:30already it's february let's see how the east is matching up taking a look here at the visitors
04:36right now the sixth best record in the conference looking to hold on to playoff position and finish
04:41the regular season strong gone two or three from deep so far in this game
04:47to the inside nagi passes to herter
04:52here's nagi loaded by green back to watson shoots over coming up he clangs that one off the back iron
05:00and down it falls and both teams here in a nice rhythm offensively and that really says as much
05:07about the lack of d as it does either's hope that bucket in in no time at all he's got
05:14eight boy he
05:15can't miss right now this is as locked in as you get astanaji watching that's for two
05:23the rebound by heel for the warriors they won their last contest that game against the pistons well on
05:30the road you don't expect to look so comfortable on the offensive end but that was the story of the
05:36game well it comes down to preparation they were ready for that game and kept the crowd out of it
05:43for the most part now here's curry he had 13 points in the win against detroit well and he was
05:50also
05:50doing a great job feeding his teammates racking up the assist so important to team chemistry yeah you
05:57expect him to make those good luck just couldn't find the mark and zeke nagi gets the whistle that time
06:05that is his first foul of the game that's it's close but you know didn't get on balance
06:11quick enough and some changes here for the warriors now horford checked in for draymond green and it's
06:17brandon podjemski in for butler now here's kaminga a 14 point game for him in the win against detroit
06:26a three-pointer no good gone eight of 12 on field goal attempts so far
06:32here's not no luck that time in the shot that would have put them on top
06:38here's heel outside for curry
06:44they shoot again and he sinks the layup curry's got eight points great work inside by curry there so
06:52clever and composed in the paint so ga when you think about steph curry's legacy he changed the way the
06:59nba game is playing man it is hard to find a player who's had the impact of a steph curry
07:06making
07:06us rethink what is possible curry's endless range has really inspired a generation
07:21and the warriors with some changes santos has checked in and it's moses moody in for buddy heel
07:36so it's the visitors now trailing by five just an amazing game when they met them last time out
07:44talk about a photo finish you know his positioning near the hoop always to his advantage just a terrific
07:51job to tip that one back in
07:58tryping inside it's rebounded by naji
08:03gone two or four from beyond the arc to start the game pass to james and the ball goes out
08:09of bounds
08:09last touch by horford the three-point game such a big part of the nba let's see the best teams
08:15at it
08:16the threat of deep shooting makes everything easier offensively they've been incredibly accurate
08:22from long range
08:24grace jackson davis has checked in for the warriors
08:38one 37 left in the first quarter patchy murray no good warriors leading by three takes it inside
08:46good on the shot i'll tell you what i'm not sure these guys can keep this up well you expect
08:52there to be
08:52peaks and valleys but you've got some excellent scores on both sides here's hatchy murray comes up empty
09:00from 19 feet out
09:05here's but jemski covered by mitchell here's richard boom he chains it straight down not the kind of
09:13aggressive defense they need to cut into the lead yeah you have to protect the rim greg a little better
09:19yeah i'd consider calling timeout right away after that the defense has to be better there
09:25now moody following headgemer is three-point attempt jackson davis can't get it to go
09:32astinagi
09:35warriors with the rebound and kevin they need to be consistent with their effort on the boards you look
09:41at the box score and they're at a definite disadvantage and so it looks like the warriors
09:46will retain possession here
09:56the visitors on defense seven point differential going inside oh and the jam by butler
10:04well if you ever think butler's afraid of contact think again he wants the and one
10:12and he's got his first chance at the line here one of the areas where he has excelled all season
10:18long how about 87 from the line now the warriors making a change here richards has checked in
10:25so it's the visitors now they defeated charlotte in their last game yeah their long-range
10:31artillery hit the march more often than not a great equalizer when you're on the road well they
10:38shot it well because of how selfless they were you need that kind of chemistry and cohesion on the road
10:44and a dunk by horford well he's a bit of an undersized center however his leaping ability can
10:52certainly mask up offense the order of the day as the first quarter comes to a close
10:58warriors ahead they lead by seven and we'll be back with you for the start of the second quarter when
11:04we return
11:15and hope you've enjoyed the broadcast so far halfway through the first half in this one
11:20and taking a look at the warriors performance here guys what are your thoughts yeah in that first period
11:25they look to push in transition at every opportunity yeah they gave the other team no time to breathe
11:32every time they got the ball they were off to the races and you see how effective this aggressive mindset
11:39can be
11:41gone three of six tonight when they've let it fly from downtown so with curry sitting on the bench
11:47here's the group that steve kerr has on the floor jimmy butler is out there with horford then there's brandon
11:53podjenski then there's moody and richard well you love the unselfishness makes the next pass and enables
12:01his team to capitalize on the possession we're now joined by our sideline reporter ali la force ali it's
12:08all yours thank you the warriors at last season's trade deadline swinging the deal for jimmy butler
12:14stephan curry said him signing an extension is big he's committed for this run it creates expectations
12:20which i love we all thrive off of that energy in that kind of environment we are up for the
12:25challenge
12:25back to you they're clearly all in ali we thank you very much the first one falls you see a
12:33lot of
12:33pick and rolls but you also greg hear about inverted screens can you explain to the viewers what that
12:40means yeah that's where your guard actually is the one setting the pick for the bigger player and
12:47having little guys who are willing to put their body on the line you think of a steph curry a
12:52john
12:52stockton two of the best to ever do it that's the podjenski back to horford corner shot again golden
13:01states and that's a nice play or for getting to his spot ready to fight
13:10here's gillespie he's defended by podjemski on the wing james inside and there's a nice one-handed slam
13:20and he's an automatic finisher when he gets into that area he is and he picks the simple one-hand
13:27stuff to get the two points here's podjemski and he banks in the layup podjemski's got his first
13:35points of the game and guys they continue to put a lot of pressure on the interior defenders with their
13:42work down low past the game here's gillespie and here's prince outside good on the three-point shot
13:51prince has got himself going there his first points of the game on the deep ball
13:57and so steve kirk decides to call a timeout he's ready to talk things through with him
14:02well it's a player's league but certainly coaching has its place and this is when a coach earns his
14:09paycheck analyze the situation and give your players the information they need to succeed
14:30and we're about two minutes into the second quarter here he takes it in and the slam by moody
14:38and he shows us all what the breakaway rim was invented for can you believe he almost brought the
14:44whole thing down by hanging on that wall and watson slams it in those plays can make a difference in
14:51a game like this well you know it's going to fire up greg everybody on that bench and guys you
14:59cannot
14:59allow that in a close game you have to make it harder than that and the timing butler has really
15:06superb easily pulling up off the dribble especially when the defense is a little less and it's good two
15:13points second quarter to play with almost three minutes gone pass to horford
15:24here's moody and he uses the glass on the lane moody's got four points now in the quarter they're
15:31consistently finding ways to get the ball inside and taking full advantage
15:37all this finds james
15:41yes and it's ellis picking up the assist and they're passing the ball very crisply here
15:50well they're with the ball watson's there
15:55the drive by ellis mitchell passes to hachimura and he goes big with the dunk right over al horford
16:03i love how under control hachimura is able to push his way through the contact and score nice work let's
16:12see the connected cam angle on that stunning play brought to you by at&t and it's butler missing
16:21done a superb seven of seven from the field here in the second
16:26mitchell passes to hachimura watson dishes to ellis
16:31here's hachimura but jemski grabs the board but jemski's got four rebounds in this game
16:39butler on the way from the arc and the warriors miss again no doubt it's been a bit of a
16:46struggle
16:46for him here in this quarter in terms of score
16:51here's chains warriors with the rebound looked at the hawks ahead of them in their next game and
16:57it's in atlanta that'll be the first half of a two-game trip
17:02here's put jemski he gets that one but jemski's got four this quarter well anytime you can get a good
17:09look close in like that it's always your best option
17:22teams changing it up here and a quick look at some of the numbers for keon ellis
17:29his effective field goal percentage a favorite stat of the analytics crowd has been on the way down
17:36over his past 10 games this game isn't as well rounded as it needs to be
17:42the visitors with the ball they trail by one watson the pass to naji
17:51mitchell kicks to ellis pass to hurter
17:55now here's watson
17:59kicks it out to ellis clock at four
18:03three pointers off the mark golden state's gone over two from deeper in the second and it's sent
18:10back by mitchell
18:13now hurter it's ellis on the wing lets it go from deep
18:18another miss for him now shooting one for four from the floor
18:22heeled the pass to kuminga shoots from 14. not enough on that one as it misses
18:28gone two of four from three-point range so far in the second quarter
18:32a selfless player ellis is always looking to make the next pass
18:41curry against mitchell curry can't get it to go
18:45go on five of ten from downtown tonight 50 percent exactly and he wanted everybody in the building
18:52to feel that ferocity and we did yeah we built it even over here we felt
18:59curry passes to butler
19:03butler on the attack well when jimmy butler is on he is one of the scariest match-ups in the
19:10league
19:11it's stolen by kuminga
19:15by healed nobody around drains it from beyond the arm
19:20healed's got five guys no one team gaining control early on yeah you look at the lead
19:25changes six already mitchell passes to nachi
19:32mitchell kicks to hurter
19:35to come right back with the three of his own it's no good
19:39hurry from deep three-point land they get the rebound green in close he hits it
19:46and it's a four-point warrior lead oh good anticipation by draymond crashing the glass
19:52right on time to win that second chance look naji passes to mitchell to stop the run he takes
19:59it up and lays it in he's got six and the crisp passing has opened things up for them offensively
20:05here
20:07this one for three
20:12that's all in by watson watson's got rebound number five here tonight ellis kicks to herter
20:22Mitchell finds Watson over green Watson's shot is off
20:28Golden State's got into trouble with the three ball in the second court
20:31only hitting one of five attempts
20:32and it's Butler stuffing it right back through
20:36well when you look at what he's provided them on the offensive end
20:40it's been an important part of why they're leading
20:43that's good and the Warrior lead is cut down to just two points on the bucket
20:46for Mitchell yeah he's in such a great rhythm
20:49right now makes sense to get him the ball any way you can
20:53yeah when you have a guy playing like he has been recently
20:56he's got to be the first option on every possession
21:00here's Ellis Astinaji and a missed late
21:06and some good action through the first two quarters as we reach halftime
21:10Warriors lead by two now we've got a moment now let's go
21:14courtside to Allie LaForce Allie thank you well coach Kerr what did you
21:18like about the way your guys have started this game off
21:22well i like the way we defended without fouling so we could get our flow
21:25and guys just came in and made some big ones and our offense got going
21:31the defense was disciplined thanks coach all right Allie thank you for that
21:35interview and we'll be back with more basketball in just a moment
21:52howdy folks i know you've all been clamoring to find out how the rookie of
21:57the year race is looking and we are not letting you down
22:01it's far enough into the season now where you can tell which guys are for
22:05real and which guys are pushing for that ROI
22:09i remember in 1993 you winning that award Shaq mainly because you should have won that
22:15championship that year those darn supersonics
22:19a few things for them to focus on more presence on the backboards more physicality maybe a few
22:25elbow sandwiches and maybe the guards need to crack back get in there and help out
22:33and that about wraps it up and as the third quarter is about to begin we go to kevin harlan
22:38for the call
22:53and as we get into this third quarter as we've seen so far neither team able to create much
22:59separation on the scoreboard yet we are seeing a tremendous game from jimmy butler yeah it's been
23:05a great performance from him really staying focused on quality shots yeah he's found his spots been
23:12patient with his shot selection and it's paid off for himself and the team
23:23drawn to the three-pointer 11 times tonight and nailed five of them they've got kevin hurter
23:28ian ellis is out there with mitchell then there's peyton watson it's naji and at the pivot spot manning
23:35the middle more good work on the glass there when it's all said and done i think rebounding might tell
23:42the story in this game and how about when curry gets fancy with it his confidence is what allows
23:48him to pull off these moves and jimmy butler is what some might call an old school kind of player
23:54would you agree great yeah i mean he's all toughness grit and basketball iq a tone setter
24:01at the defensive end who plays unselfishly the guy is all about winning watching that for two
24:08the rebound by heel and here's healed he'll bring it up for the warriors they've led by as much as
24:1510
24:15and very quietly healed is one of the best three-point shooters in our league as dangerous as they come
24:22first trip to the line for him here
24:28free throw drops for heel
24:40both free throws good from heel and for those who are turning in we're about a minute into the second
24:46half down low the warriors pull it in green's got six rebounds now in the game butler butler sinks the
24:57tough shot inside and that bucket adds to what has been a big difference in points in the paint between
25:05the two teams as to mitchell
25:10healed against ellis and a kind roll that time off the rim as that one falls
25:15yeah they get one to fall now one for four to start the third quarter
25:23butler against herder and butler gets it to go butler's got 23 points well if it ain't broke don't
25:31fix it they keep getting it in the paint and continue to score consistently
25:42and one of the trademarks of the many best point guards in the league their ability to score in
25:47addition to distribute so here now look at the top scoring point guards this season stephan curry
25:53forth well this is a collection of maybe the most well-rounded players in our league i mean to see
25:59those kinds of scoring numbers from the point guard position is crazy well that's one of the biggest
26:05changes in the league over the years point guards are now expected to score they have to do more than
26:12just pass they have been board dominant in this team there's definitely been a factor in cracking this
26:19huge league hey whatever adjustments they made at halftime they are working to perfection well
26:25sometimes you just make shots but they've certainly come out on a tear here in the third quarter
26:38all right
26:41actually he's checking for kevin hurter
26:57gone 0-2 from deep to start things here in the second hand
26:59Mitchell finds watson ellis outside and here is mitchell
27:05pass to watson beyond the arc good and the assist goes to mitchell
27:11mitchell's got nine assists now tonight hey if you leave a great shooter open you deserve to get
27:17by curry dishes to green and it's blocked
27:24here's nudgey covered by heel
27:28and jimora no good well i know he can finish at the rim but the defense did just enough to
27:34force the
27:35miss and that's good buddy healed for three heels got the lead up to 12 now for the warriors
27:42second half of play and we're three minutes into the third here
27:46and it's hachimura in the corner and they come right back with their own three-pointer
27:53hachimura's got seven and we know hachimura has a confident personality you see it there with the
28:00rise and fire approach nice heel can't hit and you could tell he thought that triple was gonna fall
28:07here's ellis mitchell outside pass to hatchimura
28:12to the paint here's ellis and they call the foul so he's got the and one chance here to make
28:18it a
28:18three-point play nice job by ellis capitalizing inside and this is his first trip to the line tonight
28:33and that one misses and hard work on the glass once again guys and they put a lot of effort
28:39and focus on the back loop well with all eyes on butler guys get open because of his ability to
28:47score the ball let's go to the sideline and see what ali la force has dug up for us ali
28:51take it away
28:52thanks a lot jimmy butler is the complete package coach steve kerr said he's an amazing player the
28:59skill the strength the ability to get to the line his passing connects the game and in the end it
29:05goes
29:05beyond that just his presence out there he's a lion he's a force kevin back to you one of the
29:11best for
29:11sure all right ali thank you for the report now horford's checked in for draymond group
29:18gone into the three-point range four times in halftime and buried two of them
29:23and that one good well he led him with the pass there almost like a quarterback timing a route
29:30that was impressive outside graminga
29:36here's putler well-placed jumper from the free throw on
29:40butler's got 27 points it just seems like the more he touches it the more the lead grows
29:48mitchell kicks to hatchimura pass to ellis and watson has it in the corner shoots
29:55jimmy butler comes up with the rebound butler's got six rebounds here tonight oh that's blocked
30:07here's matchy murray warriors with the rebound
30:15outside curry outside cominga from outside off the mark well he wants to shoot his way out of this
30:23cold spill but the struggles continue yeah i get it but you don't want enforcing things it's better to get
30:31two shots within the flow of the offense and there's the whistle on the shot took the foul shot
30:37misses he'll be shooting two and let's quickly check out the scoring breakdown here for the warriors
30:43well i love how they're attacking the rim that will usually force defenses to collapse and open up a lot
30:51of outside shots and also they are working the opposition from the mid-range continuing to fire away
30:58with confidence from there rudy's check in for the warrants podjemski's coming in for buddy heel
31:04well when you talk about butler his toughness is what comes to mind first this guy plays hard
31:11every second he's out there a throwback type of thing stand hard to figure right here's a guy pushing
31:1840 years of age al horford looks as good as heaven oh he sure does kevin he reminds me of
31:24me and you
31:25guys that just seem to be a lot younger than they really are and al still getting it done
31:32every single night in this league it's a testament to his discipline and his professionalism and the
31:39shots just continue to say no in terms of falling
31:45going outside a lot tonight 17 times in fact seven of 17 basket good that's now eight points for ellis
31:54well we've seen that movie a few times haven't we an easy bucket in the paint
31:58podjemski good and butler gets the assist butler's got five assists in the game well there's butler
32:06making the right play as he so often does now what's the best to watson outside jane
32:15misses the three warriors leading by 14
32:21on loads from 13 and it's butler missing that was a good look for the mid-range he'd like to
32:27have that
32:28one back and it's james missing well that's the look he wanted but the defense doing just enough to
32:35impact that shot curry good and you can tell he's looking for his shot he just believes in well yeah
32:44and the defense is going to have to respond to that and chase him off the arc you have to
32:50push
32:51hachimura out of there if you're the defense he's a real problem on the interior
33:0036 seconds left in the third
33:04curry way outside rebounded by ellis ellis has got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight
33:11and it's hachimura penetrating and the athleticism on display you gotta enjoy watching hachimura go for the
33:20powerful finish
33:25outside curry
33:37releases set it up with the fake but it's offline
33:41jimmy butler has been on display for the golden state warriors he totaled 14 points in the quarter
33:47he's giving them all the offense they need right now back to the action in just a minute
34:08and a chance right now to show you our state farm assist of the game and the definition of teamwork
34:15right there guys i mean what great communication between them and what a beautiful feat well it's one
34:21one of the core parts of the game reading the defense and creating an easy bucket for your teammates
34:27that is pretty
34:31and one quarter to go in a game that to this point has not been an evenly thought content
34:35portland is out there with buck then there's moses moody then there's brendan bajemski and richard so
34:43that's the group out there for golden state and it's mitchell with the jam now that's what i call a
34:49momentum changer yeah when you've got a point guard but that kind of spring no lead is safe yeah he
34:56saw the
34:57opportunity to finish with some authority trying to fire his guys up and the shot goes down
35:03and matador defense that's one of the easiest shots he is ever going to see an unorganized defense like
35:12that is not going to help them close the steps pass to battle
35:19james kicks to mitchell
35:22a three-pointer off the mark and he didn't punish them for the weak coverage there but they can't count
35:28on
35:28him to continue missing and i thought that was going to drop it looked good from here
35:37score that one for him his eighth field goal eight for 11 on a very accurate night
35:41and it's coming easy for them right now five baskets in a row in the paint here's puttler
35:49the rebound by prince gone two or three from the field to get the fourth quarter start
35:55here's hatchimura good and it's mitchell picking up the assist and 10 of their last 12 coming off assists
36:07now podjemski
36:10butler from outside and the warriors miss again
36:17battle passes to prince he's looking for james and finds him
36:23had a chance there to cut it to single digits but it's off target to the middle
36:27here's butler hammering it home yeah the defense is really struggling to contain butler he keeps
36:36finding ways to beat them mitchell this is the james butler with the steel

41:42think that was a big part of their success yeah they definitely ran the break well a big advantage
41:47in that category and they continually put pressure on the defense and so checking out the record for
41:53these guys tonight will mark win number 37 for them on the a two-game season series they win them
