00:00Доминейтинг.
00:01Доминейтинг.
00:0214 и 8.
00:03Коби-White off the bench.
00:0517 of the team's 30 and the second chance points.
00:09Big reason why the Hornets have a really good margin
00:13heading into this third quarter.
00:15Let's check in with Shannon.
00:17Yeah, as far as assistant coach Blaine Miller's concerned,
00:19he said defensively they've been having a lot of emphasis
00:21on getting the bigs their ball, the ball.
00:24So we just have to make sure that we're shifting
00:25to our appropriate spots.
00:27But he did mention those 20 second chance points
00:29that Dell just mentioned.
00:30He said we just have to not even look at the score.
00:33Don't look at it.
00:34Just continue to play our brand of basketball and focus on that.
00:39Thank you, Shannon.
00:40Excellent stuff.
00:41Lucy Diabate is one rebound away from his 18th double-double
00:45that leaves the Hornets with a bullet.
00:48Next closest to double-doubles on the Hornets.
00:50LaMelo, who's got nine.
00:54Canepola!
00:56Knew that Renault is closing out.
00:58Put it on top of him.
00:59So good on the execution right there.
01:02Brandon Miller, hard drive to the left.
01:04Draws all the defense over.
01:06Swing, swing, swish.
01:07Khan is second triple.
01:09Dell, when I talk to all these people from out of town
01:11and they ask me about the Hornets,
01:12they're surprised, Malik Monk up it in,
01:15that the Hornets actually aren't a faster team.
01:17They're 25th out of 30 teams from the pace.
01:19I'd make the argument that they're not a particularly,
01:22strictly paced team.
01:23LaMelo up and in for three.
01:25Because they like passing the ball so much with each other.
01:28Yeah, no doubt.
01:28You pass it ahead.
01:29Get the offense moving.
01:31That way it, you know, quick.
01:35Oh, that's foul.
01:36Well, yeah, the pace, it suits this team's game.
01:42Some teams like Miami need to play faster,
01:44because it, um, got stabbed on this.
01:48Their team, but right there LaMelo.
01:50Uh-oh.
01:51Yeah, I'm in the rear view mirror,
01:52and I'm perfectly fine with it.
01:55Well, for many years, about 25 of them, you were in first.
01:58Then Kemba passed you, and now LaMelo.
02:03Nothing gold can stay, Ponyboy.
02:06Ha.
02:07Well, you're right.
02:08Look, look.
02:08Pass ahead again.
02:09No more dribbling the ball up.
02:10Pass ahead.
02:11Get the defense to move quickly.
02:13And then your pace of play comes with how well you move the basketball,
02:17how well you move your body,
02:19and how well you find open looks and knock them down.
02:23Conn is now three for five from behind the arc.
02:25He's got 11 points.
02:26He still leads the NBA in three-pointers made.
02:29He's made 246.
02:30Cornets record is 260 by Kemba Walker.
02:34Kemba may soon find out what you're feeling right now.
02:39Conn landed awkwardly,
02:41and he is not comfortable as he goes back on defense.
02:46Conn is trying to figure out how to make it through an 82-game season
02:49for the first time in his life.
02:51All-around good shot for Devin Carter.
02:54The only way to do that is to play through it.
02:58I bet there's been a time or two
03:00when Tom probably could have taken some time off.
03:02Oh, yeah.
03:03But he is committed to try and playing as many games as possible
03:05and get the Hornets into the postseason.
03:09And he's committed to entertaining.
03:11At the end of the day, these guys are entertaining.
03:12People are spending a lot of money and investing time to watch these guys play.
03:15And anyone who wants to play for these guys, let's do it.
03:18If anybody understands that, it's got a good impulse to tell you.
03:23Miles pitches two hands!
03:28And a timeout call by Doug Christie
03:30as the Hornets start to open up a can.
03:34Move the ball, move your body, find the open looks.
03:37LaMelo ball, another dime, and pow!
03:40Another chin-up.
03:43Up by 28.
03:459.43 remaining in our third quarter.
03:47Let's take a look at our third quarter live same-game parlay right now.
03:50Brought to you by FanDuel.
03:51You can see the odds of the Hornets to win this third quarter.
03:54Dell currently sit at minus 270.
03:56What do they need to do to make it happen?
03:57Keep on keeping on.
03:59You've made three buckets, three three-pointers that is.
04:02Two assisted.
04:0411-8 to start this third quarter,
04:07but they're doing what Coach Miller said.
04:10Don't look at the score.
04:12Play the game, play it the right way,
04:14and the score will take care of itself.
04:15You're already up.
04:16You just got to play harder than the Kings right now,
04:19and the Hornets been doing it all game long.
04:21Kings still rolling with their starters.
04:23They only have eight men available.
04:25Eight.
04:26All eight have played.
04:29DeRozan.
04:29That's a long two.
04:31It's almost as if he doesn't want to make a three.
04:32He chooses to put a foot on the line.
04:38Lavella whips it to Khan.
04:40Brandi with a touch.
04:41Hot.
04:42Hornets play magnificent basketball.
04:44Khan knew exactly what he was going to do with that ball.
04:47It was about halfway to him.
04:52Every starter for the Hornets and double figures with the acceptor,
04:55Miles Bridges, who grabs that rebound.
04:58Miles has been a glue guy for the last couple of months.
05:01He has been as big a reason as anyone why the Hornets have played well.
05:05You need someone to do the dirty work, and Miles has done it.
05:08That's the third time on this homestand, maybe fourth,
05:11that Khan has stepped out of bounds.
05:12Yeah.
05:13Got to take the Khans with the pros.
05:17Plowden comes in.
05:19Plowden had a nice first half off the bench.
05:22Eleven points in 15 minutes.
05:26Plowden's from Bowling Green.
05:28That's the school that produced the great Nate Thurmond.
05:32Oh.
05:34Nate Thurmond had the first quad group of trouble.
05:36He was through the NBA.
05:37Going that out there.
05:39Plowden leaves it for Reynaud.
05:41This is where he's good.
05:42But he spun too quickly, and he lost the handle.
05:47Some French revolutions are better than the others.
05:59Plowden!
06:02Clamelo!
06:03Oh my goodness, Kelly.
06:05He was shooting such a great ball.

17:43So far the Hornets have gone 3-0
17:58I say jump it up
17:59Yeah
18:10Still say jump up
18:15We got a guy in Steven Daly who's widely considered to be the greatest living director in the NBA today
18:20and if that's the best shot he can get that's the best shot that exists in the world and that
18:24means we jump it up.
18:34After review it has been determined by the replay center official that there is not sufficient evidence to overturn the
18:39call on the floor. Therefore the call on the floor stands Charlotte possession.
18:43The challenge by Sacramento has no challenges remaining.
18:49Okay. It's even better. Yeah. Yeah. I was actually going to be kind of, you know, why not? Let's jump
18:55it up. Let's be sporting body. But we'll keep the call on the floor. Hornets basketball.
19:04We have got two former Creighton Blue Jays in the game. Ryan Culpbrenner and Doug McDermott. Greatest Creighton Blue Jays
19:15of all time. I'm going to say it's Paul Siler.
19:19I agree with that. Benoit Benjamin in the conversation. Kyle Korver. Vaguely.
19:30Shot clock's down to one and it's King's ball. A lot of time left in the game. Now Hornets, something
19:44major happens to win this game. It's all about playing the right way and finishing the game off playing Hornets
19:51basketball.
19:55Brandon Miller's had the hot hand here in the third quarter.
20:04Monk, Reno, McDermott, Plowden, DeRozan. There's McDermott. McDermott played four years, all four years in high school, with Harrison Barnes
20:16out of Ames, Iowa.
20:19So those runners, yes, they did win multiple state championships. Yeah, I was wondering that. Yeah.
20:24But the bigger deal is by far, Harrison Barnes. Barnes is the national player of the year. The only reason
20:29McDermott is actually in town is because his dad was the coach at Iowa State. That's why he was in
20:33Ames.
20:35Josh Green, up and down. Josh Green is taking three three-pointers. He's made two of them. The Hornets as
20:46a club had made 21 three-pointers. Franchise record is 26.
20:50Blocked shot. DeRozan hits the deck. Hornets will have a five on four. Open man is Brandon.
20:57Dump runner. Look what I found. Doing it on both ends.
21:01Dump runner blocked his shot. Sprint to the front of the rim. Get a rebound. Lay it in.
21:06Hornets are leading by 40.
21:12McDermott at the window. It is. Wow. Run him off the line. A runner off the glass.
21:23McDermott trying to stay in front of Kobe White. That's trouble. Another three-pointer, number 22 for the Hornets.
21:29Don't worry, Doug. It's happened to a lot of guys in the association trying to stay in front of Kobe
21:34White.
21:37Clowden. He's been infected. He has got 16 points. That is tied for the team high, and he's done it
21:45off the bench.
21:51Roll into the basket. Grant Williams has it poked away.
21:59Hey, I'm telling you, these are moments for guys like Clowden to make their name in the NBA.
22:05No doubt.
22:08Just like the Hornets are not playing at the score, the Kings players can't play the score either.
22:14They just got to continue to play hard.
22:16Be ready to take their opportunities.
22:19Hornets began this quarter up by 25.
22:23Currently up by 35.
22:27And Kobe is fouled.
22:37Former North Carolina high school Mr. Basketball, Kobe White.
22:43Over the years, the Hornets have employed Mason Plumlin, last year Wendell Moore, Chucky Brown, and now Kobe White.
22:52Four former North Carolina high school Mr. Basketballs have played for their home state team.
22:58Here's a message from Planet Fitness.
23:03One thing Planet Fitness members have in common, they're all strong.
23:08That's right.
23:09We're all strong on this planet. Planet Fitness.
23:16We may have seen all we're going to see out of the metal ball.
23:20He played very well in his 23 minutes of court time.
23:25If he does play the fourth quarter, he'll be on triple-double watch.
23:29I don't see it happen.
23:32Right now!
23:35This is the swooping hook.
23:38Somewhere Dolph Shades smiling.
23:42Shot clock's off.
23:44Kobe White with the ball.
23:47Working on Devin Carter.
23:56Three!
24:00And that will do it for our third quarter of play.
24:04But the Hornets keep on keeping on.
24:07Hornets make five three-pointers in the first quarter.
24:09They make eight three-pointers in the second quarter.
24:12They make nine!
24:13Building 20 at 17 on the road.
24:16Hornets have 12 more minutes to protect home court.
24:19Before the Knicks come to town.
24:22Coach about it at the beginning of the day.
24:23If the Hornets win tonight,
24:26and if Orlando loses,
24:28they're playing in Cleveland as we speak.
24:30If these two outcomes happen,
24:32the Hornets will be in a three-way tie for eighth
24:34with your Lando Magic and the Miami Heat.
24:37Because of all the tiebreakers,
24:38we're still three weeks away from the season ending.
24:40But because of the tiebreakers,
24:42the Hornets technically would be in the eighth spot
24:44ahead of Orlando and Miami.
24:46That's the thing of beauty right there.
24:48And what I'm really most impressed about here
24:51is the Hornets,
24:52their focus is in the right place.
24:54They nearly got the Knicks coming in here.
24:56You got a Sacramento team,
24:58a Kings team that's struggling.
25:00A lot of players out.
25:02You could lose your focus
25:03and not play up the standards
25:05to give Sacramento
25:07some breath of fresh air,
25:09maybe a chance to win this game.
25:10But no,
25:11you got right to the task at hand early.
25:14Never let Sacramento in this game.
25:17So you understand you're keeping your focus,
25:19you're playing well,
25:20even though you've got a good team
25:21coming in here Thursday.
25:28He's got instincts for days
25:29when it comes to scoring the basketball.
25:31Lusa caught him a bucket getter at halftime.
25:34And if you don't know,
25:35you're not paying attention,
25:37but you know now.
25:40The way this score is going,
25:42we're probably going to see
25:43Liam McNeely,
25:44who's back to the big club,
25:45after a star turn
25:46down with the Greensboro Swarm.
25:48It's going to be fun to see him
25:50and how he's progressing.
25:51Remember,
25:51this is the first-round pick.
25:52Liam McNeely,
25:53a lot of teams really,
25:54really, really like him.
25:56He'll be getting four rotation minutes
25:57on a lot of other clubs.
26:01Comey!
26:03Another three-pointer
26:04giving the assist to Grant Williams.
26:05Oh, that's fucking as big
26:07as a manhole cover right now.
26:09Whether he's in the paint
26:10or behind the line.
26:12I love the fact that
26:13even in this type of game
26:14with the Hornets up so big,
26:15instead of getting greedy
26:16and Grant Williams saying
26:17he'll just shoot it,
26:18he knew that Kobe White
26:19was probably the better option.
26:21Let's call playing the right way
26:22with regards to the score.
26:24Unselfish basketball.
26:26Hey, look who's going
26:27to the scores table.
26:29Liam McNeely's going to
26:30take off the sweats
26:30and he'll play his first NBA game
26:33without a headband.
26:35Oh, yeah.
26:36He has worn a headband
26:37exclusively as an NBA player
26:39but now he's smiling
26:40knowing that
26:41if he's starting to sweat
26:42it's going to go right
26:43through his eyes.
26:47Welcome back, Liam.
26:49Is that a new haircut
26:50because of no headband?
26:52I don't know if he
26:53switched things around.
26:56Everywhere Liam has been
26:58he has worn number 30.
26:59That was his mother's number
27:00when she played at Rice
27:01and was a darn good player.
27:0330 not available
27:04ever again
27:05here in Charlotte.
27:06That's why he's wearing 33.
27:10And welcome back
27:11to the big leagues.
27:11Liam, Paul Chris Brabler.
27:13He's playing really well
27:14in the G League.
27:16Turned an ankle.
27:17Missed a lot of time.
27:18Went back to Charlotte
27:19Rehab.
27:20Get some treatment
27:20on that ankle so
27:22he can shake off
27:24a little bit of rust.
27:29One of the reasons
27:30why Liam McNeely
27:31is actually in the NBA
27:32right now
27:33is on the Sacramento bench.
27:35Mike Woodson
27:36who is an assistant coach
27:38on Doug Christie's bench
27:40is the head coach
27:41at Indiana
27:41and that's the guy
27:42that Liam McNeely
27:43wanted to play for
27:44in college.
27:45Here's Mike Woodson.
27:46Woody.
27:46Yeah, he wanted to play
27:47at Indiana
27:48and play for Coach Woodson
27:49because he had NBA experience
27:50both as a player
27:51and as an NBA head coach
27:53and that's what Liam
27:53felt he needed
27:55and like Woodson
27:56got whacked
27:56and so there's no longer
27:58the interest in going
27:59to Indiana
27:59and that's why Liam
28:00went to UConn
28:01and played for
28:02Danny Hurley.
28:04But if Mike Woodson
28:06had stayed there
28:06that's where Liam
28:08would have played
28:08his college ball.
28:09Another dunk
28:10for Paul Brenner.
28:11Got that pass by Sion.
28:12He could have just
28:13threw that right
28:14to the chest
28:15of Paul Brenner
28:15but he said hey
28:16I'm gonna throw it up top.
28:18All you gotta do
28:18is catch and throw it down.
28:21Paul Brenner
28:22has had an effective day
28:23once again
28:24he's got two more dunks
28:25continues to lead
28:26all NBA rookies
28:28in both dunks
28:28and blocks.
28:39McNeely
28:41Hornets asking him
28:42to be more aggressive.
28:43Nice.
28:44Good job right there.
28:45Body control
28:46switches it
28:47but right to the left
28:48hang
28:49extend the left arm
28:50and lay it in.
28:54I don't fall
28:55a lot of this stuff
28:55and the majority
28:56of it in my opinion
28:57is useless
28:57but there were
28:59recruiting services
29:00that had a toss up
29:01between McNeely
29:02and Conn
29:03when they were both
29:03coming out of high school.
29:04Who was gonna be
29:05the better player?
29:07McNeely a highly
29:08highly thought of athlete.
29:16Rebound at Cardwell.
29:25And Carter hits the deck.
29:32Grant throws it out
29:34to Liam.
29:36Poor closeout by McDermott.
29:38Look at him hang right there.
29:40Okay.
29:40A little bit of contact.
29:45Not just a stationary shooter.
29:49Really good athlete.
29:52Baldwin off the window
29:53and in.
29:57Baldwin's listed
29:58at seven feet tall.
29:59I saw his dad playing
30:00in college.
30:00His dad's 6'1".
30:02His mom's the tall one.
30:03Mom played Division I
30:05volleyball
30:05in Northwestern.
30:06That's where he gets
30:07tight from.
30:13And a foul away from the ball.
30:15It's gonna go on
30:15Kulkbrenner.
30:25Steady Eddie.
30:27Charles Lee
30:28has been the same guy
30:30who was head coach
30:31last year
30:32when this team
30:32went 19-63.
30:34The same attitude
30:34and same focus.
30:36Now his team
30:36is one of the hottest
30:37teams in the league.
30:38And he is the same guy.
30:40A lot of coaches
30:41would maybe take a seat
30:43at this point in time
30:44in the game
30:45with your team up
30:45like this.
30:46But no,
30:46he wants to make sure
30:48let his team know
30:49I'm still watching
30:50I'm still in the game.
30:51And therefore
30:53you're still required
30:54to play the right way.
30:56Liam McNeely
30:57will go to the free throw line.
30:59Shoots a good ball.
31:03He's attempted
31:0331 free throws
31:04as a professional
31:05who's made 25 of them.
31:16You talk to your ball
31:17when you play?
31:18Absolutely.
31:22X-Man comes into the game.
31:24Not Xavier McDaniel
31:25but Xavier Tillman
31:27and Trey Mann
31:28combined.
31:29They're X-Man.
31:30Talk to your ball
31:31a little body language.
31:33Absolutely do that.
31:35Does it bother you
31:35when other people
31:36talk to your ball?
31:36Yes.
31:37Okay.
31:41Let's check in with Shannon.
31:43All right.
31:43I got a couple answers for you.
31:44Del Curry said
31:45did he get a haircut?
31:46Yes, he did.
31:46Liam McNeely of course
31:47that's who I'm talking about.
31:48And you asked why
31:49he took the headband off?
31:50He just did.
31:51That was the answer.
31:52I said why?
31:53Did you have a reason?
31:54He goes,
31:54no.
31:55Just figured something new.
31:56He did play
31:57with the Greensboro Swarm
31:58without that headband on.
32:00So maybe a little bit of
32:01he got used to it
32:01a little bit
32:02before hitting the court here.
32:03I love it.
32:04Thank you, Shannon.
32:05No question goes unanswered.
32:13Carter keeps his dribble alive
32:14and scores.
32:16Carter's dad,
32:17Anthony Carter,
32:18long NBA career.
32:20His distinction
32:21was he didn't play
32:22high school basketball
32:23yet he played
32:24over 10 years
32:25in the NBA.
32:26Anthony Carter.
32:29How'd he do that?
32:30He just,
32:31he never,
32:32he didn't have a great
32:33since he was having
32:34a hard time
32:34making his high school team
32:35but he was always playing
32:37and eventually
32:37got a scholarship
32:38and played Hawaii
32:40and played well,
32:41got discovered
32:41and made it to the NBA
32:42but he never played
32:43high school basketball.
32:43To my point,
32:45you can play,
32:46they're gonna find you.
32:52Doug McDermott.
32:53A couple of nice drives
32:55there by McDermott.
32:56One on the left side,
32:57that one on the right
32:58side of the floor.
33:05Been an interesting season
33:06for Trey Mann.
33:08Hadn't got plenty of time
33:09that he probably was hoping for.
33:11Still time to make a difference.
33:16There they go!
33:17Up and in, Trey Mann!
33:18Good movement.
33:19Start on the right side.
33:22Rotate it all the way
33:23around the baseline
33:24back to that right side
33:26and good rhythm
33:27on that jump.
33:34Plowden.
33:36He's been the best player
33:37today for Sacramento.
33:38He has.
33:39That's his third triple
33:41of the team's eight.
33:42Got 22 points.
33:44That doesn't want to make
33:44anything else.
33:45He doesn't have an assist.
33:46He's got one rebound.
33:49I'm gonna tip my cap
33:50to this crowd.
33:50They're still hanging in here.
33:51Yeah, they are.
33:57They don't want to go outside
33:58and all that pollen.
33:59Oh, my goodness.
34:00Oh, man.
34:01Thick yellow fog
34:02of pollen here in Charlotte.
34:05Thank God for the great indoors.
34:08We'll take a timeout.
34:095.46 remaining.
34:14Yes, folks.
34:15This is going to be
34:16our truest leaderboard.
34:17The Hornets'
34:19second all-time
34:20only to the Milwaukee Bucks
34:22in terms of point
34:23differential in wins.
34:25When the Hornets win,
34:26they win going away.
34:28They average 17.4 points
34:30in terms of victory margin.
34:31Only the Milwaukee Bucks
34:32with a young
34:33Lew Alcindor
34:34slash Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
34:35have done it better
34:36over the years.
34:37Both the Bucks
34:38in 71
34:39and the Thunder
34:40in 25, Dell,
34:41ended up winning
34:42the whole ball of wax.
34:43Either you're playing
34:44your rotational guys
34:46deep into the fourth
34:47or you have a deep bench
34:49that continues to play
34:50the right way.
34:51Hornets got a deep bench.
34:52They still have guys
34:52on the floor right now
34:54that know how to play
34:55and can score the ball.
34:57It's so hard to play
34:58when you're up big.
35:00You've got to have
35:01mature guys
35:03that know how to do it.
35:05We've had a guy
35:06consistently in that truck
35:07for the last 11 years
35:08by the name of Richard
35:09Houston who comes up
35:10with incredible stuff.
35:11That is deep into his bag
35:13coming over that one.
35:13That's Pearl.
35:14Woo!
35:16Hornets leading by
35:1715 plus 20...
35:21Highest margin of victory
35:22this year, 55.
35:24That happened out in Utah
35:25but I wasn't there
35:26so did it really happen?
35:28Shock-locked out of two.
35:31Colt Brenner can't handle
35:32the pass.
35:33It will be Sacramento ball
35:34because of the
35:35shot clock violation.
35:43This is a tough part
35:45of the season
35:45for the Sacramento Kings.
35:48They're on this road trip
35:50for a while.
35:52They've got to go down
35:53to Orlando next.
35:56Then they go to Atlanta.
35:58Then they go to Brooklyn.
36:00Then they go north
36:01of the border to Toronto.
36:02That's all before
36:03heading back home.
36:04Good golly!
36:05That's a death march.
36:08They only got 10 games left
36:09including tonight.
36:14They got more guys
36:15using hotel rooms
36:16who aren't in uniform
36:17than who are actually playing.
36:20It's a tough way
36:21to try and win in the NBA.
36:22Devin Carter.
36:31The best players
36:33for Sacramento
36:34with the exception
36:35of DeMarco Rosen.
36:37Not in uniform.
36:38DeMontis Savonis,
36:39Zach Levine.
36:42Liam McNeely
36:43without the headband
36:45splashes the three.
36:46Relocates again
36:47without the basketball.
36:49Gets into the eyesight.
36:52There's a talk better
36:53and a rhythm triple.
36:56Tell what you have liked
36:58to have played
36:59in the G-
36:59Oh!
37:00Come on, X!
37:01What do you got?
37:07And XA,
37:08your Tillman is fouled.
37:12X going to give it to you.
37:16All smiles.
37:20Passing lane right there.
37:24Wow, thought he got fouled
37:26right there.
37:27Good job to hustle
37:28to get it back
37:29and there's definitely
37:29a foul.
37:33Like a gentleman
37:33a couple of days ago,
37:35X missed a couple
37:36of free throws
37:36to keep the game
37:38at 130.
37:38That was the night
37:39that your number
37:39was retired.
37:40But we were hoping
37:41the Hornets
37:41could finish
37:42with 130.
37:42Right.
37:43X, as a historian,
37:45understood the moment.
37:48Now's the time
37:48to make one.
37:49Get in there.
37:51That's what I'm talking about.
37:55And the Hornets
37:56is 130 again.
37:57He only is at the
37:58free throw line
37:58when the Hornets
37:59have 130 points.
38:00They now have 131.
38:02What are the odds?
38:09All right, Del,
38:10I'm starting
38:10to look forward here.
38:12Very important game
38:13on Thursday.
38:14What's going to be
38:15the big focus
38:16in your eyes
38:17in the Hornets
38:17to get ready
38:18for the New York Knicks?
38:19It's going to be
38:19a physical game.
38:22And the Knicks
38:23have one of the best
38:24scoring point guards
38:25in the league
38:26in Jalen Brunson.
38:28But they have
38:28a total package.
38:30Hart.
38:31Josh Hart,
38:32I think is a key
38:33to what the Knicks do.
38:34One of the best
38:35rebounding guards
38:36in the game.
38:37So physicality
38:38and the paint
38:39and controlling Brunson
38:41is going to be
38:42a big part
38:43of getting that win.
38:45Hornets fans,
38:45if you have a Knicks jersey
38:47in your home
38:47and you have a Hornets jersey
38:49in your home,
38:49be sure to wear
38:50the Hornets one.
38:51Even if it's too small,
38:52too baggy,
38:53whatever,
38:54we prefer to see
38:55the Hornets jersey
38:55as opposed to
38:56the Knicks jersey.
38:58By the way,
39:00I'm giving a buddy
39:01a couple of tickets
39:02coming here
39:03with another Knicks
39:03so he's from New York.
39:04I'm coming here
39:05with a Knicks jersey.
39:07Don't do that.
39:09Another three-pointer
39:10for the Hornets.
39:11It's Trey Mann.
39:12The Hornets have tied
39:13their franchise high
39:15for threes made.
39:18Hornets have tied
39:19the franchise record
39:20for threes made
39:21at 26.
39:22NBA record is 29.
39:24I think that's
39:25going to be a bridge
39:25too far.
39:34This would be
39:35a new franchise record.
39:40I was looking
39:41at the roster
39:41for the Knicks.
39:42It's a healthy team.
39:43There they are.
39:51Creighton on Creighton.
39:53And Doug McDermott
39:54will talk about that
39:55this summer
39:55out in Omaha
39:56with Colt Leonard
39:57during workouts.
40:14Now the Hornets
40:15dominating this game
40:16from Suptenutz.
40:18Played a good
40:19first quarter
40:20and even better
40:20second quarter
40:21and then just
40:22opened up a can
40:22in the third.
40:24The Hornets lead
40:24by 44
40:25with 2-0-1
40:27remaining.
40:28The Hornets
40:29have tied
40:29a franchise record
40:30with 26
40:31made three-pointers.
40:33We'll be back
40:34after this message
40:35from Blue Cross
40:35and Blue Shield
40:36of North Carolina.
40:37And no Vaughn help.
40:41Hey, hey,
40:41how about your Hornets?
40:42A big on Sacramento,
40:44Buzz City,
40:44the New York Knicks
40:45in town next week.
40:46Actually, it's two days' time.
40:47March 26th.
40:48Join us at the Hive
40:49for the stretch run
40:50of the regular season.
40:51Tickets on sale
40:52at Hornets.com.
40:55Up to date.
40:56That'll be the biggest
40:56game of the season.
40:59Hornets a win tonight
41:00coupled with an Orlando loss
41:02in Cleveland.
41:03That game's being played
41:04as we speak
41:05and the Hornets
41:06would be in eighth place.
41:07Three-way tie
41:08for eighth place
41:08in the Eastern Conference.
41:14Carter.
41:15Rebounded by McNeely.
41:21Final 90 seconds
41:22of our game.
41:22We want to give a shout-out here.
41:24Dot some eyes-crossing tees.
41:26Malik Monk
41:27did not have a great
41:27shooting day.
41:28He was three for 13
41:29from the field.
41:30But the former Hornet
41:32set a career-high gel.
41:34He finishes with 14 assists.
41:36Wow.
41:37Yeah.
41:38Malik Monk.
41:42For those of you
41:43who want to know,
41:44Malik Monk
41:45had one steal.
41:46If you remember correctly,
41:47every time Malik Monk
41:48had a steal
41:48when he played with us,
41:49we called him
41:50a felonious monk.
41:52Ha!
41:52Ha!
41:53Ha!
41:53Ha!
41:53Not felonious monk.
41:55A felonious monk
41:57with the steal.
41:59I like Malik Monk.
42:01Talk about a guy
42:02who's talented.
42:03Yeah, he's really
42:03grown up as a basketball player.
42:06Bump's better
42:07looking for his first NBA 3.
42:08That would have been
42:09the franchise record 27th
42:11made three-pointer.
42:16Carter.
42:19Maybe the final shot
42:21of the game.
42:22Should be.
42:23Del, the Hornets
42:24are going to finish
42:25with another game
42:26in which they shoot
42:2750% from the field
42:29and well over 40%
42:31behind the three-point line.
42:33The Hornets
42:34at 51% from the field
42:35and 47% on threes.
42:38This is going to be
42:40the fourth consecutive game
42:42in which the Hornets
42:42have done it.
42:43That'll be a new
42:44franchise record.
42:46Four consecutive games
42:47of blistering shooting
42:49here in this building
42:50on this important home stand.
42:51And it's all due
42:53to the fact one
42:54they're coached well
42:56spacing the floor
42:57and sharing the basketball.
42:59Somebody got a good shot.
43:00Somebody got a better one.
43:01The guy with the better one
43:02is getting it.
43:04And put a little pressure
43:05on himself
43:06because he knows
43:06that guy could have
43:07shot the ball,
43:08give it to me.
43:09I've got to make it.
43:10It's all about
43:11good habits
43:12every single day.
43:14They'll come back
43:15tomorrow
43:16and practice those habits
43:18just like they did
43:19yesterday.
43:22So the Hornets
43:23pick up an important win.
43:24They're now four games
43:25over 500
43:26for the first time
43:27on the season.
43:28The Hornets check in
43:29at 38 and 34
43:31through 72 games.
43:34Ten regular season games
43:35remaining
43:36and the Hornets
43:37in a really good spot.
43:39Even if Orlando
43:40does not win tonight,
43:41the Hornets would still be
43:42in a tie for ninth
43:44with the Miami Heat.
43:45They'd have identical
43:4638 and 34 records.
43:49There's so much
43:50still in play
43:50for the Hornets
43:51as we have
43:52three more weeks
43:53of regular season
43:54basketball.
44:01Looks like Shannon
44:02setting up
44:02to talk to Kobe White.
44:04Kobe's having a deep
44:05reef with his good buddy
44:06and former teammate
44:07DeMar DeRozan.
44:08They're talking
44:09about making buckets.
44:13Josh Longstaff
44:15on those teams
44:15in Chicago
44:16as a highly thought
44:17of assistant coach.
44:18He's joining in
44:19that conversation.
44:20Cool times.
44:23That's what the NBA
44:24is all about right there.
44:25I'll tell you what,
44:25it's a fraternity of guys.
44:27Probably don't see
44:28each other that much
44:29during the season,
44:30offseason,
44:31but like you see
44:33them every day.
44:34Kobe White
44:35is standing by
44:35with Shannon.
44:36Kobe,
44:36amazing,
44:37amazing game
44:38for you guys.
44:39You guys are winning
44:40a lot
44:40and you guys are winning
44:41by a lot.
44:42How much does that
44:43challenge you guys
44:44to just continue
44:45to stay locked in
44:46and play your brand
44:47of basketball?
44:48I think,
44:49you know,
44:49we just want to come in
44:50like I always say,
44:51take it game by game
44:52and one day at a time
44:55and try to,
44:55you know,
44:56work on us
44:57every single time
44:57we are in the court,
44:58build our habits,
44:59continue to build
45:00who we are
45:00and how we want to play.
45:02So,
45:03we don't really
45:04look at the scoreboard.
45:05We kind of just play it
45:06because each possession
45:07we want to focus on us
45:08and do the things
45:08that we want to do.
45:10You're obviously
45:10the newest guy
45:11in that locker room.
45:12When you guys are out
45:13on this court,
45:13you make it look so easy.
45:14We know it's not.
45:15What do you think
45:16has been the biggest thing
45:17that leads to the chemistry
45:18of this team?
45:18I mean,
45:19just the unselfishness.
45:20And, you know,
45:20we've got a lot of guys
45:21that can make plays,
45:22make shots,
45:23and just the unselfishness
45:24of the group.
45:25I think we all
45:26got one common denominator
45:27and that's one to win.
45:29And we all show it
45:30on the court
45:30and we all play together.
45:32And we realize,
45:33you know,
45:33that some nights
45:34it could be your night,
45:36somebody else's.
45:37So, and we're okay
45:38with that.
45:39We're okay with sacrificing.
45:40So, like I said,
45:42everybody just want to win
45:42and that's kind of
45:43how it's unfolding.
45:44Three more games
45:44in this homestretch
45:45and they're going to be
45:46tough ones against
45:46the Knicks, Boston,
45:47and of course the 76ers.
45:49Where do you think
45:49you guys need to firm
45:50some things up
45:51for the next three games?
45:52I think just continue
