00:00Basketball country right here, Indiana.
00:02What a great day it was outside.
00:05We're inside the field house with the great venues in the entire NBA.
00:09Let's get to the starting lineups, first of all, for the Lakers.
00:12There are players out.
00:14Smart is out.
00:15Rui is out.
00:16DA is out.
00:17So, a little bit of a different lineup,
00:19and we'll have more on that with Mike in a matter of moments.
00:23Pacers, of course, they haven't been the same
00:25since Halliburton went down with the Achilles.
00:27He's game seven of the championship series.
00:30But the former Laker, yeah, the former Laker,
00:33Jay Huff in the middle, is having himself an outstanding season.
00:38Lexis, keys to the game, and...
00:39Two keys to the game tonight, Bill.
00:42Points in the paint is going to be important.
00:43This is a team with Siakam and M. Hart that can get there,
00:47so the Lakers have to dominate in that department
00:49and then defend the three.
00:50They're not a great three-point shooting team,
00:52so the Lakers should be able to take advantage there as well.
00:55But maybe the most important is close out the quarters.
00:58Last game on this road trip,
01:00let's see what the Lakers do in the last two, three minutes of each quarter
01:03and see if they can win that stretch.
01:05Well, Mike Keltz has certainly been on the Lakers' side
01:08over the last month or so,
01:09but tonight missing three key players.
01:12Yeah, Billy, you mentioned him, right?
01:14Two starters and then, of course, three Hachimura,
01:16usually the first guy off the bench.
01:17And it is a tricky time just because of how long this trip has been
01:21and how tough he is in this building.
01:23But if you're looking for energy,
01:25and that's something the Lakers might need tonight,
01:27Jackson Hayes may be the solution, right?
01:29Very few players as energetic and bouncy as Jackson Hayes.
01:34We know he does great in the screen roll action to the rim with Luka Doncic.
01:38We know that he can get out to the perimeter
01:39where Jay Huff does like to spend some time as a three-point shooter.
01:43And then you're going to add a little bit more energy off the bench,
01:45perhaps Jared Vanderbilt, right?
01:47Maybe an extended look at him, maybe some Maxi Kleba.
01:50Who knows, maybe some Drew Timmy.
01:52So other guys can try to step up in the absence of Hachimura
01:55as well as Marcus Martin, DeAndre Ayton.
01:57And the Lakers can't make any excuses.
01:59They've got to try to find a way to get it done.
02:01They've done that throughout the season,
02:02not as much on this road trip.
02:04But here's their chance tonight, Billy.
02:05Yeah, nine-game winning streak.
02:07Take it.
02:08It was great.
02:08It was a wonderful three weeks.
02:10And now they just have to start anew.
02:12And the schedule is kind of on their side coming down the stretch
02:16after tonight, just three road games and six at home.
02:19And five will be against teams that are going to make the playoffs.
02:23Stu, what do you think?
02:24Other than your keys, how are you feeling about tonight?
02:26Well, I'm just concerned about the first start of the game.
02:28I mean, this is a team where if you let them get off to a good run,
02:33they can be a problem throughout.
02:34But if you step on them early, I think it'll be a lot easier.
02:37And again, remember the last time the Lakers were here,
02:39it was that tip-in by LeBron right at the buzzer
02:43to come away with a victory.
02:45Walker.
02:46He on the floor.
02:48LaRavia, who's from this area, went to high school in Indiana.
02:51The lob!
02:52The jam!
02:53What a way to start the game!
02:55Throw it down, Jax!
02:57Oh, give Jake LaRavia all the credit in the world on that one.
03:00Quick steal and a quick, easy hoot.
03:02And he's going to do it again!
03:04Jake is on the floor.
03:05They're going to tie it up.
03:06Oh, he loves coming home because what a start for Jake LaRavia.
03:12Just defensively making it happen, tipping it free,
03:15then recovering and push the Lakers out in transition.
03:18And then Jackson Hayes with the finishing on the next trip down,
03:21he forces a jump ball.
03:23Well, Jake played high school ball for Lawrence Central here in Indiana.
03:27Began college at Indiana State before he moved on to Wake Forest.
03:32So a lot of friends and family are hanging around here.
03:35That one's off the leg, inadvertent, so they will not blow the whistle.
03:38We saw one of those go against the Lakers the other night.
03:42This time, though, early in the contest, it goes for the Purple and Gold.
03:45We're going to repost under the LeBron again of an illegal defense immediately.
03:50Immediately.
03:52Now there's Coach Reddick on pace to lead the Lakers to a 600-plus winning percentage in his first two
03:58years.
03:59We haven't seen that since Phil Jackson was head coach.
04:02And, you know, the success that Phil had in the free throws made by Reeves.
04:08Nice start for the Lakers.
04:09I know we've only played a minute, but that's still a good positive start,
04:13especially on the defensive end.
04:15The Lakers lost the other night in Detroit.
04:17They rarely lose close games like that.
04:20In fact, they are 8-3 in games, divided by four, decided by four points or less.
04:25Luka, go ahead and throw it down from distance.
04:28Knocks down his first of the evening.
04:30Oh, yeah, he shot a bunch the other night.
04:32Had his worst shooting percentage game of the year, however, the other night,
04:37when he was 11 for 29.
04:39Here's a championship coach right there, Rick Carlisle.
04:42You know, he said the atmosphere was just great the other night.
04:45He said it felt like a playoff game to him.
04:47I know, I know.
04:49They've lost 16 in a row, but they needed that win.
04:52They don't want to get out of the bottom four.
04:55So this is not bad for them.
04:56And Luka, and that's tapped by Jay Huff.
05:02Four pick that they would lose if it's five or below,
05:05and it looks like they're locked in to the bottom four as far as lottery odds.
05:13They're out there trying to win this one.
05:15Looks like they're, like we said, they're kind of locked into that.
05:18Underneath, Jay Huff, pretty good defensive play.
05:20Here comes Jake, and Jake rises for the dunk.
05:23And could have been at the free throw line for an end one.
05:27So an 8-0 Lakers start.
05:29That's exactly what Stewart's talking about.
05:32Knees spent outside.
05:34LaRavia again!
05:35Pocket pick!
05:37Here's Jake LeBron.
05:38Here we go!
05:41Wow, what a start by the Lakers.
05:46I mean, defensively, they are just all over the Pacers.
05:50And Jake is on fire on this end.
05:53And some great dunks at the other end.
05:56Huff for three!
05:58He's right there with all the seven-footers in the league shooting from beyond the arc.
06:03Great shooting, big guy.
06:05And he is second in blocks.
06:07Second in blocks to Wembe in the entire NBA.
06:12Luka.
06:13Now LeBron.
06:14Here comes LeBron.
06:15Leading Troy right off the backboard.
06:17He's going to hustle back.
06:19So they've got numbers.
06:21Defensively, Huff can try to make it two in a row.
06:23And he does.
06:25And he does.
06:26Jay Huff normally gets dunks against the Lakers.
06:29Now he's starting from behind the arc.
06:31A 31-percenter.
06:33And better than that.
06:3431-percenter.
06:35It seems from beyond the arc.
06:38Now Austin having some trouble.
06:39Gives it back to Jake.
06:40There's some contact.
06:42And this is going to be called on Indiana.
06:45Well, Jake LaRavia is off to a fantastic start in this game.
06:49Especially defensively as he gets out in transition.
06:51But it's the defense that's gotten the Lakers out and running.
06:55A couple of steals already.
06:56Leeds the LeBron's throw down that has the crowd all on their feet.
07:01And this is a good offensive team.
07:03Indiana.
07:04But they can't play defense.
07:06Here's a shot at the baseline.
07:08In fact, over the last five games, they've allowed at least 126.
07:12And each of them as Walker waltzes in and scores at the rim.
07:17And all of a sudden, that's a great start.
07:19But it's a 10-8 game.
07:22Again, they are pretty good offensively.
07:24Right there near the top 10 in points.
07:26Start.
07:27Rolls around and settles in.
07:30Luka again.
07:31Well, he's not the leading score in the NBA by accident.
07:36Four points at anybody in the month of March.
07:39Once again, they are living by the three right now, early.
07:4113-11.
07:45Doncic, once again, had a big first quarter the other night in the loss.
07:49To Detroit, that was a game.
07:50The Lakers are down by 16.
07:52They battled back.
07:53Getting to the rim and using the glasses.
07:55They are better than that.
07:57Using the left hand over the top of J-Huff.
08:00Nembhard.
08:02What a game winner against the Lakers.
08:05He's going to bring him right on top to their main man.
08:07Pascal Siakam.
08:08He was a champion with Toronto.
08:11Siakam, take it away again.
08:13Another turnover.
08:16Reset.
08:17Fire.
08:17Doesn't get it.
08:18Tapped by LeBron.
08:19Taken by LaRavia.
08:22Jake is everywhere right now.
08:24How many drinks LaRavia are out there?
08:26LaRavia.
08:27Scores!
08:29Boy, Indiana needs a timeout, don't they?
08:32And they're going to get it.
08:33That's 17 points, and they haven't even played four and a half minutes.
08:36Well, they want a timeout to make sure they kind of contend with this Laker defense
08:40as the Lakers have turned them over and then converting Luka
08:43with a couple of three-pointers, and they're working on the inside,
08:47and the Lakers lead 17 to 11.
08:53All right, then they caught him.
08:54Now it's a six-point lead, and we still have seven and a half to go in the first.
08:58Hey, it's time to lock in, presented by PrizePix.
09:01Let's check out some of the squares for tonight for the Pacers.
09:04Siakam with a more or less of 22 and a half points.
09:07And for the Lakers, Jake LaRavia with a more or less of .5 assists,
09:11which means if you took the more, you're already a winner.
09:15Get in on the accent on the PrizePix app, now available in California.
09:20You know, this Laker defense, they turned them over five times.
09:23Any time that the patients have not turned the ball over, though, they score.
09:28They're perfect from the field.
09:30They made all four of their shots.
09:31Absolutely.
09:32Their problem is just getting shots.
09:33He's got five turnovers, and the Lakers have 11 points off of the turnovers,
09:37and Jake has been sensational.
09:39Again, as Nimrod tries to hit it, LaRavia went to high school here,
09:43then went to Indiana State.
09:45You know, Jim Nabors sang that at the 500 of so many years.
09:48Back home in Indiana.
09:49That's exactly what he's playing like right now.
09:53And he bounces it to James.
09:55He's going to get it right back.
09:57Jake at the logo.
09:59Gives it to Luka with five, with four.
10:02Luka, that would have counted.
10:03And he'll shoot free throws.
10:05He got fouled twice on that possession.
10:07The first bump they let go, but then Nismith said,
10:10maybe I can hit him again.
10:11And nope, the whistle sounded.
10:14Well, Doncic, a 77-percenter matching the uniform number
10:19that he dons, and the Don now will fire it from 15 feet.
10:24How about this right now from Cerritos Auto Square?
10:29The Cerritos Auto Square sell so many cars because they have low prices,
10:32and they have low prices because they sell so many.
10:36Let me give you a surprising number, Bill.
10:38Please.
10:40If Luka makes his free throw, he's already in double figures.
10:43How surprising is that in the first quarter?
10:45Yeah, well, we've got used to it.
10:47It is totally routine.
10:49It is so routine.
10:50Again, he has how many points does he have?
10:54121 more points than anybody else in the league in the month of March.
10:58Remember, here's the scoring champ at 23-24.
11:01It looks like he might do it again this year.
11:03He's with Luka in towards the end of the season.
11:06So Luka in double figures, and the Lakers lead it 1911.
11:11Still nine to shoot.
11:13Walker, through the three-point shooter, shows it right there.
11:17He has back-to-back 20-point games.
11:21They've made five hoops, and four of them have been behind the arc.
11:24And remember, watch him because he leads the Pacers in three-pointers made this year.
11:29Jarris Walker.
11:31He's out on top, starting for DeAndre, who's out with the back injury.
11:35Now, towing the line is Luka.
11:38He's way outside.
11:39Way outside.
11:40Just comes up short.
11:43And trying to run it now.
11:44Indiana.
11:46Chases underneath.
11:48Bounce.
11:48Cutting.
11:49Diving.
11:49A foul.
11:51Who's there to make the defensive play?
11:53Jake LaRavia.
11:54He's called for the foul, but it seems like Jake is everywhere to start this game.
11:59Well, he's second in Lakers total minutes, is Jake.
12:02And he's tied with Marcus Smart for second in steals.
12:07You know, speaking of steals, do you realize that Luka has 12 steals over the last two games?
12:12A dozen over the last two.

12:32Luke Kennard enters the game, and Jake gets a much-deserved rest after a very fine start.
12:40Now, Kennard had his most games in, or most minutes, in a Laker uniform.
12:4521 games since the trade when he played 28 Monday at Detroit.
12:51In a game of, like I said, Lakers were way behind, battled back, and nearly pulled it out at the
12:57end.
12:57The law, oh, they really had that red well, didn't they?
13:00They had two on Hayes.
13:02Yeah, Jay Huff may have tweaked an ankle on the way when he hit the floor,
13:06but he's taking his time, tying his shoe.
13:09I like the way the officials allow that to take place.
13:13Yeah, very nice.
13:15You got Ben Taylor, Eric Dalen, Evan Scott are three officials here tonight at the Fieldhouse.
13:21Lakers will be home on Friday to take on Brooklyn.
13:25Lob to LeBron.
13:26He just muscled his way in there.
13:28Not going to get the foul now.
13:29Now they got to get back.
13:30It's five on four.
13:31LeBron gives no foul.
13:32He really doesn't.
13:33I mean, it's been amazing.
13:35Especially the last month or so, but you could take that for a long period of his career.
13:39Seriously.
13:40He is penalized for being a little bigger, a little stronger than the opposite.
13:44Remember, more check plate.
13:45I mean, he said he got down every time he had the ball.
13:47Yeah.
13:47Yeah.
13:48Every time.
13:50Donchich.
13:52Luka one-on-one.
13:54They're isolating.
13:55He's bumping into Demhardt.
13:56Then just muscles his way in.
13:58Goes around the score.
13:59The good defender, but way too small to guard Luka there.
14:03Demhardt went to Gonzaga, just like Rui.
14:05He's not playing just like Drew Timmy, who's on the bench for the Lakers.
14:10Drew Timmy, the all-time leader at that school.
14:12Of course, Nembhardt's brother, very talented player.
14:14Here is Donchich.
14:15Trying to get around the defense.
14:17He's in the key.
14:18He wants help.
14:19He needs it.
14:19And LeBron!
14:21Oh!
14:21The quick dunk!
14:23The quick jam!
14:24Boy, he just gets up shaking his head like, I'm never going to get a call, so let me just
14:28get up and get back on defense.
14:29Remember, LeBron didn't have a point the other night, the first half, first time in like
14:3316 years that he didn't have a point.
14:36He's got four already in this game.
14:42Look at LeBron.
14:43He's still trying to figure it out.
14:44Another look how Luka just takes advantage of the smaller Nemar.
14:48Easy hoot, and then the next trip down, bounce pass to the cutting LeBron.
14:52He says, can I get to the free-throw line just once?
14:57Well, LeBron got to the free-throw line three times in Detroit.
15:01Made them all.
15:02He was just a rebound shy of yet another triple-double.
15:08He would have been his third triple-double this year.
15:10He does have 13 double-doubles.
15:15It's funny, Stu.
15:16He just looked at you and shook his head.
15:18Hey, he knew exactly what you were thinking.
15:21It's just amazing, you know, how many times, I mean, I'm always on LeBron's side for things,
15:27but there's so many times where he gets contact and he gets no whistle.
15:32Other guys can get a whistle.
15:34We are courtside down right by the Laker bench here at the Fieldhouse.
15:39Free throw is good.
15:41So 23 to 17.
15:44This team, Indiana, has the worst record right now in the entire NBA after losing those 16 in a row
15:51before the win against Orlando underneath.
15:55Well, Reeves is going to get the call.
15:56Well, I mean, if they would have let that one go.
15:59Well, they would have challenged that.
16:00They grabbed him by both hands.
16:02There were two pacers there that could have been whistled for that foul.
16:06Now you got Vando in the game.
16:07He came in for LeBron his normal spot to come out here in quarter number one.
16:13So canards in there, Vando, Reeves, Luka, and Jax.
16:17And Jax might be coming out because Maxi Kleba, who played a grand total of about four seconds the other
16:23night,
16:24will be coming in.
16:27Austin knocks down the first of two.
16:29And as you said, Kleba comes in for Jackson Hayes.
16:32And for the Pacers in the game now, he'll be topping.
16:35Got to make sure you keep him off the offensive glass because he is a high flyer.
16:40The 28-year-old slam dunk champ for 2022.
16:45He missed 57 straight games this year with an injury.
16:50And, like I said, they just started poorly.
16:53All kinds of injuries.
16:55Haven't been able to catch up.
16:56And, of course, they now have Big Zoo, Ibiza Zubats on their roster.
17:00But we will not see him this year.
17:01They are gearing already towards next season when they should be a contender in the East.
17:07Oh, good move by Austin, but he can't finish.
17:10Maxi that time doing a good job.
17:13Here comes Kennard, and he gets fouled.
17:15So, good aggressive play by the Lakers here in quarter number one.
17:19Yeah, both Vanderbilt and Kleba were on the offensive glass.
17:22And Kleba got the rebound and got held a bit, but he dribbled clear and found the cutting Luke Kennard.
17:28So, Luke will be shooting too.
17:30You know, you talked about it, Stu, right at the top of the show.
17:32And LeBron did address it in the postgame the other night against Detroit.
17:37He says, yeah, we've just got to move on from this, and we understand we all want to go home.
17:40But we will be ready to give it our best effort when we come out in Indiana right from the
17:46get-go.
17:46And that's what we're seeing.
17:48Well, we definitely saw that from the get-go.
17:50And the defense, especially, really a good job of activity and hands, you see.
17:56Led by Jake LaRabia as a couple of steals.
18:00Well, a guy who can be a pain in the you-know-what, T.J. McConnell is in the game
18:05right now.
18:06The undrafted player out of Arizona now in his 11th year.
18:09And Quentin Jackson is on the floor.
18:12He had a good end of February where he averaged about 15 a game.
18:16Potter.
18:19We saw him in Los Angeles.
18:21Here goes T.J.
18:23And a reverse layup is good!
18:25And that puts a dent in the 14-6 Laker run over the last four-plus minutes.
18:33Reeves once again trying to get aggressive.
18:35Banjo corner!
18:37Nothing but nets!
18:38Boy, he took his time and looked like a leading scorer in the league on that shot.
18:42And he really was confident.
18:44Well, with everybody out, rotation minutes are here for Vanderbilt.
18:49Dribble and dive and kick.
18:51And, man, right in front of the Laker bench just drains the triple.
18:5527 three-pointers now for Jared Vanderbilt.
18:58That's too shy of his career high.
19:01But he's hit only two, make it now three since the All-Star break.
19:05So still a very good chance with nine games after this remaining.
19:09And plenty of this one for him to get a new career high.
19:12Topping lets it go from way downtown.
19:14Kicking out by Luka.
19:16This is the largest Laker lead.
19:1911.
19:20Dodgers leading first quarter score in the league.
19:23Luke rolls around and settles in.
19:26And, of course, top three points here in the league.
19:29Yeah, that hit too much of the rim for Luke.
19:31He's used to score without a touch.
19:33You are demanding style points now.
19:35And the title scores his second lap.
19:38We were talking about maybe the smallest guy on the floor.
19:41This guy to report should tell everybody that he does that a lot.
19:45He dribble penetrates like he's gonna dribble clear,
19:47and then he scores on the other side.
19:49He's got a 10-34 match.
19:51Luka all too easy.
19:53Luka magic.
19:55Lakers with 35 points already here in quarter number one.
20:00They're shooting 60%.
20:01And an early Brawny sighting.
20:04How about that?
20:04And the crowd.
20:05The buzz in the crowd.
20:07So, Brawny will be in at the next whistle.
20:11There's a little added dimension to this one.
20:13They nearly throw it away.
20:14They do.
20:15Another turnover.
20:16That's their six.
20:18Kanar!
20:19Yes, sir!
20:20That's more like Luke,
20:22although it did touch a little bit of the rim.
20:24When you're pure like Luke is,
20:26if it hits the rim, he doesn't count them.
20:29Gets a second straight triple,
20:31and the Lakers get their 33rd, or excuse me, their 38th point.
20:36With the fine-shooting Luke Kanard,
20:38spotting up, stopping them down.
20:452-0-7.
20:47And the Lakers are up by 17.
20:49Our Virbo check-in for tonight here at the Fieldhouse.
20:53And the spotlight tonight falls on Luka.
20:56Well, this month, you see the distance he separated himself.
20:59Average into almost 37 a game.
21:01Next closest is 30.
21:03And tonight, right off to the same thing.
21:05Already with 14 big ones.
21:08He's come out.
21:09He's knocked down a couple of threes.
21:11Put the ball on the deck.
21:13Gets into the paint.
21:14Does things that guys can't expect him to do all the time.
21:17And then when you put a smaller defender on him,
21:20you really run a risk because he posts you up very easily.
21:22Now, let's be honest.
21:23I don't care who the opposition is.
21:24The Lakers are playing really good, really well right now.
21:27They've got a tremendous amount of energy.
21:29They're executing.
21:30They force a whole bunch of turnovers.
21:33And Indiana has missed their last four threes,
21:36which obviously helps.
21:38Everybody connected.
21:39Everybody playing well right now.
21:41And yet another turnover.
21:43That's the 7th.
21:44The Lakers have 14 points off of turnovers.
21:47And guess what?
21:48The Lakers haven't turned it over yet.
21:50That's a recipe for disaster, Bjork.
21:53Indiana!
21:53That's another recipe for disaster.
21:56Leaving Luka alone.
21:57That is not a recipe.
21:59That is just flat disaster.
22:02The Lakers have 41 points.
22:06And we have just under two minutes to play here in the first quarter.
22:09Nice dribble drive that time, Aaron Naismith,
22:12as Luka checks in with yet another three-pointer guy.
22:15All over him.
22:16But it doesn't matter.
22:17He just maybe puts a little bit more R-corn
22:19to get it over the outstretched arm.
22:21And the results?
22:22Nothing but bottom.
22:23Well, ten straight games with at least 30 for Luka.
22:25And that streak began when he dropped 44
22:29against his Indiana team back on March the 6th.
22:33That was just a few weeks ago.
22:35Again, we have less than three weeks to go in the regular season.
22:38The ball went out of bounds, and the three officials look at one another and say,
22:42I didn't see it, did you?
22:42No, I didn't see it.
22:43So let's jump it up.
22:45Why not?
22:46It's an easy way out, but the proper way out if you don't see it.
22:49So we'll go to center court.
22:50Yeah, but one was standing about three feet from it.
22:53You would think that he had vision on it.
22:56Again, the Lakers a game and a half up on Denver.
22:58Two on Minnesota.
22:59Two and a half on Houston.
23:01Have a nice margin on Phoenix for the play in six and a half.
23:05So they should be able to avoid that.
23:07This is one of 12 games in the NBA tonight.
23:11A very busy schedule.
23:13Remember, Ronnie's in the game.
23:14Just handled it a moment ago.
23:16Now Kinnard out on top looking for some help.
23:18Finds it in Doncic with 17 here in the corner.
23:21Lakers just got hit on top of the head.
23:24And here he is back in and in.
23:25Luka on its way.
23:27Not gonna get there.
23:28That hits the heel.
23:29Lakers can't battle for it and win it.
23:31McConnell up ahead.
23:32They put it up ahead.
23:39Little loose ball situation there.
23:42Lakers are loose.
23:43Late late getting at it.
23:45And they give up the layup.
23:46Well, Indiana in their two-point win over Orlando.
23:48What a shot.
23:4955%.
23:50There's Luka in very deep.
23:52You just can't stop him.
23:53When he's on a roll, you can't stop him.
23:56He's a big-time volume shooter.
23:58But he's hot right now.
24:00And he's hot at the official too.
24:02Because I agree with him this time.
24:03There have been a couple occasions where you got smacked upside your noggin.
24:07But you got to expect that in the immediate.
24:09Not going to catch them all.
24:10You just got to keep on keeping on.
24:12And there's LeBron.
24:13He's coming back in.
24:15He's got four points.
24:16Two rebounds.
24:17Two assists.
24:18Doing a little bit of everything.
24:20And for Luka, those 19 points, his high in the first quarter this year was 24 against the Clippers.
24:31Potters.
24:36Put a minute and three to go.
24:38Lakers sitting on 43 points.
24:40They're high for a quarter.
24:41Here's 46.
24:42So I would think it's in jeopardy.
24:45Yeah, they got a great chance.
24:48Vando doing work.
24:50That's a good stint for him.
24:51He'll come to the bench.
24:52So you've got father and son on the floor.
24:57LeBron and LeBron Jr.
25:01Here's Luka with the basketball across the timeline.
25:06James.
25:07That's the outcome.
25:09Right in front of us.
25:10Siakam has been extremely quiet so far in this game.
25:13Doesn't have a point.
25:15We've barely called his name.
25:17But Naismith gets called for that foul, I believe.
25:20And didn't even have any regard for the screener.
25:25Siakam had his season high 37 the other night.
25:29And that tied his high in a Pacer uniform.
25:31And actually Kaliba goes to the line and the foul by Naismith.
25:36Siakam had a season high 26 shots in that one.
25:40And it was perfect for the free throw line.
25:43He's going to turn 32 next week.
25:45He's two three-pointers away from 100 this year.
25:50He's a former most improved player.
25:53Here's Maxi.
25:54Another guy with a flat, flat shot.
25:58Maxi Cleese.
26:02The attacking zone.
26:03He just talked about it.
26:04Here's Siakam.
26:05Brian's got a hold of him.
26:07And he's going to pick up a foul.
26:10Siakam will go over the line and shoot two.
26:12As I mentioned, he was perfect from there the other night.
26:15against Orlando.
26:1636 seconds left in the quarter.
26:19Stu, this is an impressive stat in any quarter.
26:23But to start the game, it's really what you want to see.
26:26Points off of turnovers right now.
26:2817-0 Lakers.
26:30Well, it would help the Pacers if they could turn the Lakers over.
26:34You can't get points off of turnovers if they're not turning it over.
26:38Indiana's defense.
26:39They earned bottom three in steals, bottom four in deflections, bottom four in defensive rating.
26:45That's what they're up against.
26:47They just aren't playing defense for Rick Carlisle.
26:5110-0 Lakers.
26:56LeBron, half a minute to go.
26:59Here in quarter number one.
27:01Glad you with us, wherever you may be.

33:41James
33:42That's how you take out your frustration
33:47TJ
33:48A little mismatch
33:50Oh LeBron got a hand on it
33:51McConnell will chase it back
33:53Now there's no reset
33:54So he comes in with nine on the shot clock
33:57There's a little on Bill
33:58He's over Jackson Hayes
34:01That's more of his offense right there
34:04He gets into the painted area
34:05Usually and there's a quick little jump shot
34:08Now the nine game winning streak
34:09That was just snapped with the Lakers best run
34:12Since 2019-2020
34:14AR goes in towards the rim
34:16Top again by Jackson Hayes
34:18Kept it alive for the moment
34:19Now they've bottled up
34:21And they foul him in the backcourt
34:25Foul called on Austin Reeves
34:30Another look at that play where Jackson Hayes blocks the shot of Jay Huff
34:34And LeBron gets it in the middle and says
34:36Hmm, nobody's gonna stop the ball, huh?
34:38I'm going to distance
34:39Contact, contact
34:41Flash
34:41Three-point opportunity
34:43I mean he really showed some real fortitude on that one
34:48What an all-around game right now for LeBron
34:51Nine points
34:52Five rebounds four assists shooting 50% from the floor
34:57Two games straight he scored 12 points
35:00He's a three-pointer away from tying that here tonight
35:04Here's Huff
35:04Outside, no, rebound to LeRavia
35:07And we've talked about him
35:09But Jake is having such a great year rebound there
35:14All he needs to do is to get that shooting back in order
35:17Especially from the perimeter
35:19Jay Huff
35:20We talked about what a great shot blocker he is
35:23Second in the NBA
35:24Got one there
35:25Here he goes
35:25To throw it down
35:26There's your dunks
35:27Yeah, I knew he would get at least one or two
35:29Per game
35:31He prefers the behind-the-head type types
35:36LeBron comes out to get it
35:38Look at this
35:39What a bounce pass
35:41Pass by James to Jake
35:43How many times in his career have you seen that?
35:47I mean, this guy
35:49To be a guy that's the leading scorer in the NBA
35:52And he's not a shoot-first guy
35:54It's just amazing
35:56Boy, out on the court
35:58Recognizes
35:59Little drop, bounce pass in behind
36:01And the Lakers put up their 56
36:04With 7.38 left in the half
36:13Mr. Spotlight brought to you by Morongo
36:15Well, this game is where it is today
36:17Because of the way the Lakers started off defensively
36:19The first possession of the game for the Pacers
36:21The defense took over
36:22Jake with the steal
36:24Transition and the lob to Jackson Hayes
36:27And that's the way it started
36:28And nothing has changed since
36:31The Lakers defensively rate 20th in the NBA
36:34Offensively
36:35They're in the top 10
36:38Out on top
36:39They work the perimeter
36:40With 8 to shoot
36:41Shepard is in the game
36:42He can be dangerous
36:43He was number 26
36:45From the outside
36:46It's off
36:46And now the rebound goes to Jackson Hayes
36:50Lakers on the floor
36:51LeBron, LaRavia
36:53Hayes, Reeves with the basketball
36:55And Cunard
36:57Lakers, of course, always searching
36:59For a lot of bench production
37:01They're still near the bottom
37:02That one is poked away
37:04Lucas got it on the outside
37:05With 4
37:06With 3
37:07LeBron on the outside
37:09Did it graze the rim?
37:10I think it just did
37:11Or maybe not
37:12Whether it did or not
37:13It's out of bounds
37:14Yes
37:14It's going to be
37:16Indiana basketball
37:17They have a record of 16 and 56
37:20They won 10 here at home
37:23The good news
37:24Good news for the Pacers
37:25Is they get possession
37:26Bad news for the Pacers
37:28Luka checks in
37:29Oh, I thought you were going to say
37:30Bad news is they get the possession
37:32That they have
37:34But they
37:34That's worse news, I guess
37:36Yeah, they've shot it pretty well
37:3750%
37:37They've made 4 threes
37:39But just 4 out of 13
37:41Lakers 54% from downtown
37:44Nebhardt goes right around LeBron
37:46Finds the open man in the corner
37:48We just talked about him
37:49There's Shepard
37:50Dan Shepard went to Belmont
37:53For 4 years
37:53When a
37:54What?
37:553 players I think
37:56On these rosters
37:56That went to college
37:58For 4 years
37:59It just doesn't happen
38:00Very much anymore
38:00Does it
38:01No, if you go for 4 years
38:02That's usually to
38:03Somebody that
38:04You're not as good
38:05As you think you are
38:07Corner of the key
38:08Reeves
38:09Has the mid-range jump shot
38:10There's AR
38:12Last 9 games
38:13Averaging 24 points
38:14Shooting nearly 50%
38:166 assists
38:16And playing a ton of minutes
38:19You can pencil him in
38:20For 40 minutes
38:21In a close game
38:22Shepard
38:23Off
38:24Gonna be chased down
38:25By LeBron
38:26So for James
38:286 rebounds
38:296 assists
38:309 points
38:33Docich
38:33In very deep
38:34He turns
38:35Count it
38:35And goes
38:36Count it
38:37And one
38:38For the dime
38:40Well, the good footwork
38:41That time
38:42By Luka again
38:43He goes to his dominant side
38:45They shut him off
38:46So a little
38:46Little drop
38:47And go up
38:48Get some contact
38:49And get an and one
38:51So the revolving
38:52Laker door
38:53Means Vando
38:54Will come in
38:57Mike, what you got?
38:58LeBron is getting it done
38:59Tonight
38:59Just thinking
39:00Sometimes it's hard
39:01To appreciate
39:03Greatness
39:03When it hasn't been
39:05Away from you
39:06At all
39:06For all this time
39:07And so LeBron
39:07On the 6th game
39:08Of a 6-game road trip
39:09Plays every game
39:10Right?
39:11Age 41
39:119-6-6
39:13And Stu
39:14When you talk to
39:15Head coaches around the league
39:16Which we do before every game
39:17Even Rick Carlisle
39:18Before the game
39:19He just doesn't understand
39:20How he's able to keep doing it
39:22And nobody seems to understand
39:23Because it's never been done before
39:24Exactly
39:25That's the whole thing
39:26But if I'm a young player
39:27I'm going to get in his pocket
39:29I'm going to find out
39:30I'm going to say
39:30Hey guy
39:30I'm going to trail you around
39:32I'm going to do everything
39:33You're doing physically
39:33To keep my body
39:35In shape
39:36The way when the Lakers
39:37Made a comeback
39:38Against Detroit late
39:39He had a team high
39:407 points
39:41In the 4th quarter
39:43You know
39:44He played 39 minutes
39:45A lot of that is
39:47He respects the game so much
39:48And that's why
39:49He takes care of himself
39:50So well
39:51I mean
39:51He knows he has something
39:52To give to the game
39:53And he makes sure
39:55He's available to give it
39:56And Nembhardt gets pushed
39:58By Jared Vanderbilt
40:00Which means
40:00He will go to the line
40:02And shoot a couple
40:03Great atmosphere
40:04In this building tonight
40:05The sold out
40:06Probably the toughest ticket
40:07They've had since the
40:09Playoffs last year
40:10Of course
40:10They went to game 7
40:12Against OKC
40:1561-37
40:17And free throws
40:19By Nembhardt
40:20About to commence
40:21And with that
40:22How about this
40:23From Morongo

40:36Lakers ticket exchange
40:52That's the best way
40:54Take on the Thunder
40:55See two free throws
40:56And Nembhardt
40:57Is still going to be
40:58The guy assigned to
40:59Luca
41:00Surprising
41:01He's quick around
41:02The perimeter
41:03Luca
41:04So much taller
41:05And so much stronger
41:06There is
41:09That's going to be
41:09No shot
41:10That's no shot
41:13On the ground
41:14It's ruled
41:17Evan Scott
41:18Made the call
41:19On the outside
41:20I kind of disagree
41:21I thought he was
41:22Gathering
41:23With the whistle
41:24Right there
41:25He's gathering
41:26That should be
41:27An and one
41:30Now team fouls
41:32The Lakers
41:32Are out of fouls
41:33And Indiana
41:34After this one
41:35Out of fouls
41:36With 529
41:38Remaining
41:39In the second quarter
41:40Remember at halftime
41:41We're sending it back
41:41To El Segundo
41:42The halftime report
41:43Luca
41:44Little off balance
41:45That time
41:46They're going to have
41:47A mini break
41:47Coming back
41:48Now the Lakers
41:48Hustle back
41:49On defense
41:49In the attacking zone
41:51Rise
41:52Fire
41:52Score
41:56Sneed
41:57Neesmith
41:58Aaron Neesmith
41:59Went to
41:59Vanderbilt
42:00For a couple of years
42:02Last seven games
42:03Averaging 18
42:04A contest
42:07He played with Martin
42:08Smart for a couple of years
42:09Good bounce
42:09Really nice bounce
42:11That time by AR
42:12Yeah
42:12Jay Huff
42:13Was the last line
42:15Of defense there
42:16But when he made
42:17Austin pick up
42:18His dribble
42:18He kind of like
42:19Froze
42:20That's where he's got to
42:21Either smother
42:21Or get back
42:22To his man
42:23Jackson
42:24Four for five
42:25All right
42:26At the rim
42:26Eight points
42:27And five rebounds
42:28So having a fine
42:30First quarter
42:31Being the main man
42:31In the pivot
42:32And our turns
42:34Misses
42:35Rebound
42:35Luca
42:36Luca
42:38Averages
42:39Almost
42:40Eight rebounds
42:41Again
42:41Here's Luca
42:43Comes up short
42:44Has it again
42:45He's underneath
42:46He puts it up
42:47And short
42:47Those are a couple
42:49That you rarely see
42:51At the other end
42:52Look out
42:53That's a highlight
42:54For them
42:55That's OB top
42:56Why not
42:56That's a slam dunk
42:58Yeah
42:59He's good at the lobs
43:01He only had two points
43:02Against the lake show
43:03Back on March 6th
43:05That was just his
43:05Four
43:06Fourth came back
43:07From his injury
43:09Good on
43:10He comes up short
43:13No chance for a topping
43:14Plings it up quickly
43:16For Sheffield
43:16He's got it
43:18So a little run
43:18Yeah
43:19Time out
43:19Yeah
43:20Time out
43:21Good time out
43:22There's still four minutes left
43:24Here in the first half
43:26It's been all Lakers
43:27But a little bit of a surge
43:28Here
43:29By the Pacers
43:30And we've got ourselves
43:31A 16 point game
43:35All right
43:36Tonight's performance
43:37Spotlight has been brought to you
43:38By sit and sleep
43:39So Cal's most trusted
43:40At the store
43:41And it's on LeBron James
43:42What in the first half
43:44He's enjoying
43:44Nine points
43:46Six and six
43:47He's a guy that
43:49Has always filled up
43:51The stat sheet
43:51You don't want to be
43:52One of those guys that
43:53One-dimensional
43:54You look at the stat sheet
43:55He's got 15 points
43:56No rebounds
43:57No assists
43:59LeBron's not one of those
44:00Yeah
44:01By the way
44:02After outscoring Indiana
44:0345-28 in the first
44:06Indiana's outscored
44:07The Lakers by one
44:08Here in the second
44:091918
44:10It's a 10-2 run
44:11Over the last
44:12Minute and a half
44:13And by the way
44:14Marcus Smart
44:15Just chilling on the bench
44:16He's out some money
44:18Well he's got a technical
44:19Wasn't chilling too much
44:20But he picked up a tee
44:23By the way
44:24A do Thero
44:24Is also not available
44:26Tonight
44:27Want to make mention of that
44:28So
44:29Paces shooting better
44:30Than the Lakers
44:31In the quarter
44:3247-44%
44:34And they've made
44:34Three threes
44:35And the Lakers
44:36Have not been able to match
44:39We're going to miss
44:40Free throw
44:40On the technical
44:41So just be
44:42Laker ball
44:44Come on
44:45Marcus was just
44:45Binding his own business
44:50Can't get it in bounds
44:53358 remaining
44:54Here in half
44:55Number one
44:56You see how
44:57The Indiana Pacers
44:58Are now
44:59Really stretching
45:00Their defense
45:01They're picking up
45:01Full court
45:03Man-to-man
45:05You've got the
45:06Third worst
45:06Point differential
45:07Only the Wizards
45:08And the Kings
45:09Are worse
45:10But everybody
45:11Down at the bottom
45:12Is just right
45:13Next to each other
45:15Cleba
45:16That's a run in
45:17And get it
45:17And that's not
45:18Going to operate
45:19That's not going to work
45:19Well
45:20Let's turn over
45:20Lakers
45:21Cleba and Vanderbilt
45:22Right beside one another
45:24And they kind of
45:25Collided
45:26And turned the ball over
45:27Let's see if they get
45:28Siakam working here
45:29He's one of six
45:30In the league to average
45:3224-6-4 since the first of January
45:36And it's a who's who
45:37Of players that he
45:39Is averaging those numbers next to
45:47They're not going to miss that
45:50So all of a sudden
45:51It is a 14-point game
45:53It was 24
45:54So get a little complacent
45:56And that's what happens
45:59Win pass all the way
46:00To the other side
46:01And here is
46:03Vanderbilt
46:03Now that's two threes
46:04On the night
46:06He's the open man
46:07And Luka sure is fine
46:08And he
46:09You know the Lakers
46:10As Siakam has it
46:12Underneath and scores
46:13The Lakers have blown
46:15The fewest
46:16Double digit leads
46:18In the league this year
46:19They've only blown
46:20Four ten plus point
46:22Leads in the entire season
46:25So they're very good
46:27At getting it
46:27And holding on to it
46:29Donchich
46:31LaRavia
46:32That's a bad pass
46:34That's behind
46:35Kennard
46:36And a Laker turnover
46:37That's their third
46:38Yeah
46:39Two in the last
46:40Minute or so
46:44LeBron James
46:45Checking back
46:45Into the game
46:47Again
46:47It was just about
46:48A perfect start
46:49To this game
46:50With a ton of energy
46:52You know
46:53I heard Rick Carlisle
46:54Being interviewed
46:54On the big board
46:55Before the game
46:56And he was talking
46:56About how the atmosphere
46:58Was going to be
46:58In all the Laker fans
46:59He wanted to
47:01Kind of get that
47:02Energy and harness
47:04It to his team
47:04And that's exactly
47:05What's happening
47:06Right now
47:06That's the kind of play
47:07Where Siakam can be
47:08Difficult because
47:09He shoots off
47:09Of one foot a lot
47:10And just a little
47:11Unorthodox at times
47:13And picks up the foul
47:14On Jake
47:14A three point opportunity
47:16All of a sudden
47:17This could be
47:17An 11 point game
47:21I mentioned those numbers
47:22Since the
47:24Date of January
47:25The first
47:26The other players
47:27That have those
47:27Really fine numbers
47:28Are Giannis
47:30Embiid
47:30Luka
47:31The Joker
47:31And Jalen Brown
47:32Hello
47:35Who's who
47:36Of anybody
47:37Stuff a stack sheet
47:39Right there
47:39Luka back and forth
47:41The MVP candidate
47:42Here he is
47:43In the lane
47:44He's going to put it up
47:45From three feet
47:45And score
47:46Make it about five feet
47:47How about that
47:47Over Jayhawk
47:51Yakham
47:51Getting right back
47:52At it
47:53This is why
47:54It works
47:55You got Pascal
47:56Trying to get to the
47:57Rib and they just
47:58Stand out
47:58At the perimeter
48:00And try to knock it down
48:02I think he's got the same opportunity
48:04Underneath
48:05Reverse layup
48:06By Cleva
48:07Is not there
48:07Behind the back
48:08Goes Nembhardt
48:09Now to Pascal Siakam
48:10Corner
48:13Rebound Maxi
48:14Long lead
48:44Here is LeBron
48:45Straight out of bounds
48:47Another look at that play
48:49Where LeBron just takes it up
48:50Easily lays it in
48:51And two Pacers
48:52Little friendly fire
48:53They both went to the floor
48:54And LeBron's just
48:55Both of you
48:56Gotcha
49:02One of the higher scoring
49:03First halves of the year
49:05For the Lakers
49:06Putting up 69
49:07No but they're giving up
49:0953% shooting
49:10I know
49:13Nine turnovers
49:14For Indiana
49:14So the defense
49:15Isn't really there
49:16For the Lakers
49:17Although we mentioned
49:17It's a pretty good
49:19Offensive team
49:19Pretty good
49:20Offensive team
49:21But they have shown
49:22That they just
49:23Haven't been able
49:24To play defense
49:25Talking about Indiana
49:27Indiana though
49:288-0
49:29And the points
49:30Off a turn
49:31So the script
49:32A little flip
49:33Yeah
49:33A little flip

50:01Double figures
50:03They've had a nice
50:04Ballast attack
50:05They just
50:06Haven't been able
50:06To stop the
50:07Lakers offensively
50:08He's been hurt
50:09Hasn't been on the
50:10Floor
50:10To look at his last
50:12Seven games
50:13Although they've been
50:13Spread over
50:14Six and a half
50:15Weeks
50:16In and out
50:17Of the layup
50:17As the lineup
50:19He's averaging
50:1927 points a game
50:22Stu said
50:23A little unorthodox
50:25Tough to defend
50:26Sometimes
50:26Docs
50:28Comes short on the
50:28Plow
50:29And good save
50:30By these men
50:32Tough was thinking
50:33About trying to
50:33Get it
50:34But these men
50:34A little more
50:35Athletic
50:36Took it
50:37From out of bounds
50:37Coming up
50:38On a minute
50:38To play
50:38Here in half
50:39Number one
50:40We'll hear from
50:41Coach
50:42JJ Redick
50:43Which might
50:44At the end
50:44Of the half
50:45LeBron's on the
50:46Floor
50:46And then
50:47Jack's got a
50:48Hand on it
50:48Boy the Lakers
50:49Were poised
50:49To come back
50:50And have a
50:51Fast break
50:52But it's not
50:53Going to happen
50:54Calling a foul
50:55On LeBron
50:55Saying he tripped
50:56Him off
50:57Celebrity photographer
50:58Caitlin Clark
51:03She's working
51:04A little side hustle
51:05For her
51:06How about that
51:06You talk about
51:07The WNBA
51:08There it is
51:09Right there
51:09They sell out
51:11Everything here
51:14Let's hope
51:14The WNBA
51:15Has a full
51:17And happy
51:18Season
51:19Get it all in
51:21That's Michael
51:22Thompson's
51:22Favorite player
51:23Stu
51:23That's a lot
51:24Of people's
51:25Favorite player
51:27Another free throw
51:29For Siakam
51:30Right in this quarter
51:31They're living
51:32At the line
51:32I don't mind
51:33Saying this
51:33About Michael
51:34He was telling
51:35Us the other
51:36Day
51:36He's saying
51:37He had a chance
51:38To meet her
51:38The other day
51:39But he got starstruck
51:41Didn't know what to say
51:42In her presence
51:44Michael's lying
51:46He always has
51:48Something to say
51:49That is the one time
51:50In his life
51:51He would starstruck
51:53I can't believe it
51:57I need video
51:59Evidence
52:00Proof
52:03LaRavia is in the front court
52:05In the attacking zone
52:06Lakers
52:07Lakers get into their
52:08Action now
52:09With LeBron
52:10Hitting into the lane
52:13Now that's no shot
52:14But he's going to
52:15Shoot free throws
52:15They are out of fouls
52:20LeBron and Siakam
52:21Have an exchange
52:26I love the competitive nature
52:28Of most players
52:32Now LeBron
52:35Again that game winning
52:36Tip in
52:38Last March
52:42He had been 0 for 6
52:44Field goes through the
52:45First three quarters
52:46And then he came on late
52:48The fourth
52:49And really helped
52:50The cause
52:50On one game
52:51For the Lakers
52:51Remember last year
52:52They were also
52:53The third seed
52:54Going into the playoffs
52:56Hoping for a much
52:57Better result
52:58This year
52:59If they finish third
53:01Hot
53:03Underneath
53:03Gets right around
53:04Dodgers
53:05He tried to do or die
53:06Reach in that time
53:07And it wasn't going to work
53:08Yeah
53:09That's one of those
53:09Suicide steel type plays
53:11If you don't get it
53:12Boy you are dead
53:1371-59
53:14And a foul on the outside
53:16So Luka already at 26
53:19Will be shooting free throws
53:21And for him
53:21It'll be his fourth and fifth
53:23At the line tonight
53:24Lakers as a team
53:2511 out of 13
53:28Realize the Pacers
53:29Have already shot 17 free throws
53:31A lot of those
53:32Come here in this quarter
53:34They've become very aggressive
53:36This quarter is just about over
53:37The 29 seconds remaining
53:39Of course that's always the goal
53:40Stu
53:41To play good defense
53:42Without fouling
53:43That's your goal
53:48Luka on the season
53:49From the line
53:5077%
53:51We talked about that
53:53When he first got there
53:56However this
53:58This month
53:59The other night
53:59It was his lowest
54:00Field goal percentage
54:01In March
54:02But that's what he does
54:04He just comes right back
54:05And never misses a beat
54:10Twice in a row
54:11Western Conference
54:12Player of the Week
54:13You're looking at him
54:13Right there
54:19Two friendly rolls on both
54:21Free throws
54:22There makes them both
54:23That could go to
54:2473-59
54:26Shot clock is six
54:28Ahead of the game
54:29So the Lakers
54:30Could
54:30Should
54:31Get at least another opportunity
54:34Demar
54:36Controlling on the right wing
54:37Moravia's all over him
54:39Siakha
54:40A couple of good steps
54:41Blocked that time
54:42By Jax
54:42And here come the Lakers
54:44All kinds of time
54:45Bounce it to Braun
54:46Assist to Luka
54:48The finish by the King
54:50That was not an easy reception
54:51Now it's knocked away
54:53On the floor
54:55Reeves with two
54:56Will count if it goes
54:58It doesn't go
54:59What a way to end the half though
55:10Now the Lakers closed the final minute
55:12Pretty well
55:13To push back to that
55:1516-point advantage
55:17Here's Mike with Coach
55:18Well J.J.
55:19A lot of impressive things
55:20In that first half
55:21Especially considering
55:22The final game of the
55:23Sixth game trip
55:23What stood out to you the most?
55:25Just our ability to
55:26Play through physicality
55:28It's another team
55:29Like a lot of these teams
55:30We've played recently
55:31They just foul on every possession
55:32And you've got to be able
55:33To play through that
55:33We know what Luka's done
55:35Scoring-wise in the first half
55:36But I want to just focus on LeBron
55:38Just to
