00:31These are the games you circle when the schedule comes out.

00:41Thunder are healthy.
00:42SGA, Dort, J-Dub, Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein.
00:46For the Celtics, White, Brown, Tatum, Hauser, and Kata.
00:50These teams are fully loaded.
00:52Key matchup presented by Subaru of New England.
00:54There's a lot to love about driving a brand new all-wheel drive Subaru.
00:57One of the best duels of the year for the Celtics.
01:01SGA and Jalen Brown going back and forth in the last meeting on March 12th.
01:06I'm expecting the same kind of fireworks today.
01:09I expect both those guys to be on the all-NBA first team this season.
01:13Gilgis Alexander pursuing his second consecutive MVP.
01:17Health report by South Coast Health providing exceptional care from people who care.
01:22It's a clean sheet for both teams with the exception of Nikola Vucevic still nursing that finger,
01:27so he's doing the high fives with his left hand.
01:29Thomas Sorber, their first-round pick, out with a torn ACL.
01:32But, Scout, this is really the first time all-season Oklahoma City has their full rotation healthy.
01:38And, oh, by the way, they're still first in the West, and they've won 12 in a row.
01:41Yeah, when you hear people complain about, oh, we don't have chemistry, oh, we just got to get healthy.
01:46It's never an excuse for this particular team.
01:49The two guys, to me, it can be really hard to beat them in a seven-game series.
01:55Healthy, it's Hardenstein and Chet Holmgren.
01:58They dominate the paint.
02:00And they're both starting tonight as Mark Dignall goes with that double-big lineup.
02:04Good crew.
02:05Mark Davis, Pat Freyer, and Marat Kogut are officials as Holmgren missed the turnaround
02:09and Hauser corrals the defensive rebound.
02:12One thing, Oklahoma City, they like to get back.
02:14They want to set their defense.
02:16Couldn't set at that time, but Cato smoked the bunny on a good feed from Brown.
02:21Saved by Lou Dort.
02:22That'll be Celtics ball.
02:23Man, Jalen Williams was talking to the official, not backing the play.
02:29That was a weird one.
02:30That's an early conversation to have with the officials.
02:32And just keep in mind, Mark Davis is a no-nonsense type of official.
02:36He almost gave you a tee, and he was going to kick you out.
02:40But I said, we don't have a replacement.
02:43There is Brown.
02:44Took too many steps.
02:45Mark Davis, you might remember, gave Brad Stevens an ejection, his only ejection as a coach.
02:53You got to go.
02:53He just gave Luka Doncic his 16th technical foul of the season that the NBA came in and said,
02:58now you're good.
02:58You can keep playing.
02:59We'll rescind that.
03:00That's just Mark being Mark.
03:01But he has, this game will have no nonsense.
03:04It marks a great official.
03:05And these are physical teams.
03:08Lou Dort loads up a three, and they're the first points of the game.
03:12SGA, as aggressive as he is, he doesn't turn the ball over, and he finds guys.
03:18He's a very impressive player.
03:19You saw he had those nine assists against the Celtics in the first meeting this year.
03:26That's a great lead by Tatum.
03:29They were up the floor on a handbag.
03:31You don't see that a lot.
03:33Tatum make the right play quickly.
03:35Dort lets White fly by.
03:37Same spot, same result.
03:38Dort below 33% from deep this year, but he's proven he can make them in big holes.
03:43Yeah, he will make big shots, but he will keep taking them as well.
03:49Jokic.
03:50Oh, this is right here.
03:51This is what I mean.
03:52And they switched back.
03:53Yeah, J-Dub defending Tatum.
03:55He's a great two-way player.
03:56Now White missed the shot.
03:59I want to see Tatum get that delayed isolation on the big.
04:05Now Williams navigating out the door.
04:07The reason I said Jokic is because he has two flagrant fouls against him this season.
04:11That's been part of the story of his year.
04:14He was a key cog in their championship run last season.
04:17Gildas Alexander for three.
04:19Jeez.
04:21That was so clean.
04:23He plays at his own pace.
04:25He is so skilled.
04:26Hauser a little strong.
04:27Hartenstein cleans it up.
04:29When he's out there, Oklahoma City's an elite rebounding team.
04:32And when he's not, they're just average.
04:35That's their one vulnerability is when Hartenstein's not playing.
04:38They can be gotten on the glass.
04:40Loves that little push shot, but missed it.
04:43Tate of the rebound.
04:45White also didn't play in Oklahoma City a couple weeks ago.
04:49Hauser is open.
04:50Ooh, can't believe that.
04:54Seltz in their last two games about 27% from deep.
04:58And the win in Memphis, lost to Minnesota Sunday.
05:01Tate with the swipe on Hartenstein.
05:07There's that MVP matchup.
05:09Brown accepts it.
05:11Gildas Alexander, the shake, the dish.
05:14Williams comes up short.
05:21Brown, nice move to the rack.
05:23Kick it out.
05:23Hauser.
05:25Oh, man.
05:26He's like, he's aiming it.
05:28Let it fly.
05:29Getting a lot of good shots, though.
05:32Sam has taken four of the five Celtic shots from outside the arc.
05:38S.G.A.
05:41He is silky smooth.
05:45Just watch tonight, folks.
05:47He never sweats.
05:50So after the game, when they pour water on him, that's the only time he's got any type of perspiration
05:57on.
05:57He's not even going to have to shower before he puts on that pink, fluffy coat he had walking in
06:02tonight.
06:03Wipe the dish.
06:04Tate of the finish.
06:07I want to see more Tate touches because right now they're making a conscious effort to take Tate out of
06:12there.
06:12They're leaving Hauser, which seems strange, but that's the way they're guarding right now.
06:19Williams, the miss.
06:20Tatum, the rebound, and he'll bring it up himself.
06:22Finds a streaking Hauser.
06:24Oh, and knocked away by Dort.
06:28Looked like Sam was going to have an easy one.
06:32Thunder, the number one defense in the NBA.
06:39This is Chet Holmgren.
06:40This is Minnesota defended by Wisconsin.
06:43Holmgren is fouled.
06:49All right, so a lot of things happen here.
06:50We watch SGA.
06:51Look how smooth this is.
06:52The contact, the drift, the quick snap.
06:58He is so good.
07:01As an offensive player, I don't know if I've ever seen a better one.
07:05Shoots it off the dribble.
07:06Gets downhill.
07:07Can get to the rim.
07:08Gets to the free throw line.
07:09Pulls up.
07:10Has the midi.
07:12And never sweats.
07:14He's a guard, averaging 31.5 points on better than 55% field goal.
07:20He almost never turns it over.
07:22Yeah.
07:23And he's top.
07:24Top three in drives.
07:26Yes.
07:27He and Jalen are both up there.
07:29Yeah, so drives to the basket a ton and doesn't turn it over.
07:41And then their supporting cast is ridiculous.
07:44Chet Holmgren, one of the highlights.
07:47Jalen Williams was so good in their playoff run last year and doing that with a banged-up wrist.
07:52Had surgery on it.
07:53Missed a huge chunk of the season to begin.
07:56He's dealt with hamstring issues, and the beat has gone on for the Thunder.
07:59Brown too strong off the window.
08:06Williams the lob, Hartenstein the jam.
08:08Yeah, it's a double screen.
08:10Hartenstein goes to screen, gets behind the defense.
08:13Williams just makes that right read.
08:17We got to, like, we got to go up to a notch.
08:22Well, the Celtics were game against Oklahoma City a couple weeks ago at Paycom Center.
08:26That one went down to the wire.
08:29Hauser is still shooting.
08:32I had a hard time believing that Dagmoth decided to leave Hauser wide open.
08:37But that's what it looks like he's doing right now.
08:40If Tatum can get himself going.
08:42In the mix against Williams.
08:43Steps through.
08:44Out to Hauser.
08:45Late shot clock.
08:48Brown didn't get the bounce.
08:50Gilgis Alexander emerges with the pill.
08:53SGA, the bounce.
08:54Holmgren blocked by Kata.
08:57What a recovery from Namish Kata.
09:00White dealing with the physicality.
09:03Sets it up for Tatum.
09:04That's a great push.
09:05One transition basket.
09:08And Dagmoth says timeout.
09:11First timeout of the game.
09:12Thunder by seven midway through the first.
09:17A lot of excitement inside TD Garden.
09:20Celtics down seven at the moment.
09:22Drew said it off the top.
09:24Tonight, game number 73 is the first time all season long that Oklahoma City is whole.
09:30They have their entire rotation healthy and available.
09:33Keep that in mind when you look at these numbers.
09:35The electric moment is presented by Audi.
09:37Visit your New England Audi dealer today.
09:40OKC riding a 12-game win streak.
09:42Already has the best record in the league.
09:45They're three games up on Wemby and the Spurs in the West.
09:47They have five more wins than the best team in the East.
09:51They're beating teams by double digits on average.
09:54And oh, by the way, have the best scoring margin on the road ever.
09:58In NBA history, that is insane.
10:01Even for the reigning champs.
10:03Mark Dagmoth, their head coach, couldn't contain his excitement pregame
10:06to have his entire team available for this game.
10:10And this one in particular.
10:12He told us, you know, it's funny when I say this, but we're still learning about our team.
10:16And so these types of games are the ones we want to be playing in
10:20because you get accurate feedback in a relevant environment.
10:24Which to me, in layman's terms, means they're going to learn a lot about their team here tonight.
10:30And Abby, Mark Dagmoth, the Lemonster native, his family has owned the restaurant Il Camino,
10:36an Italian joint over in Lemonster for a long time.
10:39I'm sure his parents are in the house somewhere.
10:42But what a job he has done.
10:44Replaced Billy Donovan and now Mark Dagmoth in year six as Oklahoma City's head coach.
10:49Pass the midway point of the first quarter.
10:51Ugo Gonzalez getting some early burn and he puts in a three.
10:54That's going to be a huge part of this Celtic offense.
10:56They are sitting in the lap of Brown.
10:59They've been doing it when Tayden was on the floor.
11:00They're leaving guys wide open.
11:03Shireman and Pritchard also in there off the bench.
11:06And the Thunder will throw some unique defense at you.
11:10You saw that last year when Oklahoma City came in and Mark Dagmoth switched what they were doing at halftime.
11:16Yeah.
11:16They guarded the three-point shooters in the first half.
11:19Then they stopped in the second half and it worked.
11:21Keita.
11:23Ugo nearly had the offensive board.
11:25Caruso wards him off.
11:27Alex Caruso, one of the best role players in the league.
11:30A two-time champion.
11:32Holger in the step back.
11:34That is tough right there.
11:35Seven foot one.
11:36Now Chet tells the front row Gucci Rowe to quiet down.
11:41Gucci Rowe, that's what we're calling it.
11:46You want to call it Louie Rowe or what do you want to call it?
11:49It sounds pretty fitting to me.
11:53Kaysen Wallace, another elite defender, fouls Brown before the pass.
12:02All right, take a look.
12:03Watch the way they're guarding Ugo Gonzalez.
12:05That's us to Russell.
12:06I mean, look at him.
12:07He's wide open.
12:07And watch when Jalen Brown goes to the basket.
12:10Look at the...
12:11I mean, that is just like what Oklahoma City is deciding to do.
12:15Guys deep in the corner, they want to stop Brown.
12:18They want to stop Tatum.
12:21The rest of these guys are going to have to make shots.
12:26That's been an issue for the season these last two games.
12:33Pritchard woke up in the second half at Oklahoma City a couple of weeks ago.
12:37Three to shoot.
12:38Pritchard loves this spot.
12:39That's a three.
12:41Wow.
12:42Peyton Pritchard beating the buzzer.
12:45He's unbelievable.
12:47Dude just checked in.
12:51Well, Gonzalez and Pritchard both hit from downtown.
12:54And Jalen Williams from Arkansas has the answer.
12:57Yeah, he was great down in Oklahoma City, knocking down three, the energy plays, very good passer.
13:05Another amazing pick by Sam Presti.
13:08Second round pick a couple of years ago.
13:14There's J.B. still scoreless.
13:16Off the rim.
13:17Rebound Jalen Williams.
13:19They call that one J. Will.
13:20They call the other one J. Dub.
13:24As Wallace goes to the rim and gets fouled by Pritchard.
13:27All right, so Pritchard up against the shot clock right here.
13:33Comes in, steps back.
13:34Case and Wallace, one of the best defenders in the league.
13:38Easy money.
13:43That's what he does.
13:50Comforts of home presented by Bernie and Phil.
13:53Save up to 20% right now on Bernie and Phil's spring savings event.
13:58I mentioned Mark Dagnalt, a Massachusetts native from nearby Lemonster.
14:05So, him and Sam Presti, they're both Massachusetts guys.
14:09When you have guys from the Commonwealth leading the way, you have success.
14:14Yeah, is that how it works?
14:15Man, I was talking to some Oklahoma City fans.
14:17Presti has that Jedi mind trick over them, too, man.
14:20He's brainwashed all of them.
14:22I mean, can you blame them?
14:23They've had a lot of success.
14:25Caruso trying to euro, but who goes from Europe?
14:28He saw that coming.
14:29Great defense from Gonzalez.
14:35Jalen Brown fouled by Caruso.
14:38Really?
14:39Really?
14:40Just an out-of-bounds.
14:41No foul.
14:42What?
14:43Can't challenge a non-call.
14:46I mean, you could hear that slap from Lemonster.
14:49Yeah, I could hear the slap.
14:52Oh, my gosh.
14:54Wow.
14:56Jalen Brown thinking, that's what we're on today?
14:59Luka Caruso for three.
15:03I was hanging out at the practice facility, watching Luka Garza go through his shooting routine.
15:08He's a high-percentage shooter.
15:12Nearly got the block, but Wallace hit the shot.
15:18Luka, a good shooter and a maniacal worker, right?
15:21Yeah, he's just running all over the place, knocking down threes.
15:26Brown, physicality, out to Shireman.
15:31Ten to shoot for Pritchard.
15:33Under three to play in the first.
15:35Navigating, still has the rock, steps through to get the bounce.
15:39Ugo, the offensive rebound.
15:41Britchard trapped under there.
15:43Brown fires.
15:48We're playing hard, but we don't have great spacing.
15:53I feel like we're a little bit sped up.
15:59SGA.
16:02And that is a guy who has never sped up.
16:05Yeah, he is automatic from that mid-range.
16:09Timeout, Joe Mazzulla with the Celtics down nine.
16:16Score seats and bring the hometown energy to TD Garden.
16:20Visit Celtics.com slash ticks to find tickets.
16:23All right, let's watch Oklahoma City.
16:25There's a big difference between their offense and ours right now.
16:28Go ahead and run it.
16:30All right, stop it right there.
16:31Look at this.
16:32I mean, this is SGA.
16:34This is the best player in the world.
16:36He's an MVP.
16:37Look how much space he has.
16:38What does he do?
16:39Go ahead.
16:40Gets to it.
16:41Steps back.
16:42It's one guy, one-on-one.
16:44So now when you're watching Jalen Brown or Jason Tatum play,
16:47when they have the ball, you're going to see a guy active,
16:51coming into their airspace.
16:52And they're not going to have a clean look at anything.
16:55Now, they are giving up the wide-open three.
16:57We're not.
16:59But as of right now, their star player has a lot more space to work.
17:04That was a beautiful illustration, Scal.
17:06Thank you for that.
17:07Just, I'll tell you what, you're having a good broadcast today.
17:12Thanks, man.
17:13There's Caruso on the steal and the slam.
17:17So that's where Jason Tatum, like, I know you're trying to get off the ball,
17:22but it's time for you to go to work.
17:24Get some space.
17:25Create it.
17:27Another turnover.
17:28Thunder dominant in the turnover margin.
17:30By far the best in the league in that category.
17:33SGA draws three.
17:35Mitchell peels it back out.
17:36He's had a breakout second season in the NBA because of plays like that.
17:41Yeah, all these guys are looking for their matchup.
17:43They all get to the right location.
17:46Chelsea's got to go somewhere else.
17:48They've got to keep raising up their level.
17:50Say, we're not matching where they're at.
17:54Tatum, the extra pass.
17:56Shireman has it skid off the rim.
17:58Luka Garza, just an animal on the board.
18:01That's the type of energy plays that the C's are going to need.
18:06Keeping that ball alive, I think Ugo got a tap on it.
18:12Keeping the ball alive right there, Ugo challenging it.
18:15Finds Garza.
18:16Garza got those soft hands, and he's relentless.
18:22Already five points for Luka Garza.
18:26He had a three.
18:28Can't convert the N1.
18:31It'll be Mitchell running the show for the Thunder as the Celtics have Pritchard, Gonzalez, Garza, Tatum, and Shireman on
18:37the floor.
18:38Coming up on a minute left in the opening quarter.
18:44Pritchard trying to deal with SGA.
18:46There is Ugo shaded over.
18:47Leads to an open Mitchell three that rattles out.
18:51You notice the difference there?
18:53Yeah, huge.
18:53If that's an adjustment, we'll see how that goes.
18:55But they gave up that shot to A.J. Mitchell.
19:00Garza can't cash out.
19:01Caruso rebounds it.
19:05Ugo will take a turn on SGA.
19:07Look at Baylor Shireman.
19:09He's, like, closing off that gap.
19:11See, it looks a lot different than it did before the timeout.
19:17SGA pulls up anyway.
19:18That's too strong.
19:19Tatum the rebound.
19:20See if the Celtics try to rush it for a two-for-one.
19:23Got it?
19:24Good adjustment by Joe out of the timeout.
19:27No gaps.
19:28No open space for SGA.
19:33Tatum the screener.
19:35Trying to post up the smaller Mitchell.
19:38With four on the 24, Tatum steps through.
19:41Nearly banked at home, but he got fouled.
19:47All right, so Tatum got the matchup he wanted.
19:50Got A.J. Mitchell on him.
19:52Pretty good defense, but he steps through, and there's that hit by Caruso.
19:56And they got the foul on Mitchell.
19:58Oh, they did.
19:59I think it should have been on Caruso.
20:05But it puts J.T. at the line.
20:06You saw 16 points Sunday in the loss to Minnesota.
20:09All of them came after halftime.
20:1113 in the third and then three in the fourth as the Wolves pulled away.
20:17And the Wolves, that game, they look so much faster than what we're used to seeing Minnesota play.
20:26Like, you know, like when Anthony Edwards, they play a little bit slower.
20:28It was like, I was a little floored by Bones Highland and Io DeSumo pushing the ball.
20:39Okay, Ugo with the pressure at SGA at half court.
20:42Yeah, so it's had a foul to give.
20:44Yes, they did, so it'll be side out for Oklahoma City.
20:46Ugo Gonzalez is his first, first and last two minutes.
20:58Isiah Joe gets his first run, a dangerous shooter.
21:0241% from deep on the year.
21:05Kayson Wallace also in.
21:11With Jalen Williams to inbound.
21:16Five seconds left.
21:17Mitchell on the drive like a running back to the basket.
21:21That was tough.
21:22Find Pritchard.
21:23Pritchard time from beyond half court.
21:30Preston first quarter by Oklahoma City.
21:33Celtics now, after that first round, they'll know where they need to bring their level.
21:38OKC shot 52% from the floor.
21:40The Celtics just 29%.
21:42Thunder by 11 after one.
21:45Work to do for the Seas.
21:50Welcome back.
21:51Check out the scoreboard brought to you by Toyota's official website for deals.
21:54Buyatoyota.com.
21:55It's got the thunder on top of the Celtics by 11 on what was a beautiful Wednesday here in Boston.
22:03Let's check the stats by Jason Stone, injury lawyer's official injury law firm of the Boston Celtics.
22:08Injured?
22:09Better phone Stone.
22:10Points off turnovers in the field goal percentage.
22:13Got to keep our eye out on our field goal percentage.
22:15It's got to make shots to beat this team.
22:18Right back on the floor to open this second.
22:23Pritchard defended by Isaiah Joe.
22:25Late shot clock.
22:27Tata came soaring in, but Jared McCain emerges with a rebound.
22:31Picked up from Philly at the deadline.
22:33Here is Joe.
22:35That's no good.
22:38Three rebounds already for Tatum.
22:47That's what I'm talking about.
22:49In transition, you don't have to wait around.
22:51Go to work.
22:57JT working around the screen.
22:59It frees up Williams.
23:01Kind of had a little bit more resistance than that.
23:09A double Tatum out of the pick and roll.
23:12Kata finds a cutting Pritchard right back to Nehmi.
23:16A little bit of a clunky give and go, but it leads to a foul.
23:22So remember, last year, Tatum, in that short, he would give the ball up to that guy in the middle.
23:28That would be Luke Cornett.
23:30We haven't had a lot of that this time.
23:33And simple trip, but...
23:35Oh, they got him on the shot.
23:36Nice.
23:37Two shots out of it.
23:38Tatum gets trapped.
23:39Gives it up to the middle man, Luke Cornett.
23:42Short roll.
23:43We just haven't had that play so far this season.
23:47So it's something they have to work on because it was the second best two-man play behind Jokic and
23:53Jamal Murray.
23:56And I think Kata has improved in the short roll position.
24:00You think we'll see a lot of teams trapping Tatum in the playoffs?
24:03They haven't done it yet.
24:04That was almost like the first time I've seen someone hard blitz chasing Tatum.
24:08But to me, looking at it, Mark Dagnon's basically saying,
24:12you have two star players.
24:14We're going to make everybody else beat us.
24:23McCain, quick release.
24:25Air ball.
24:26Air ball.
24:27Air ball.
24:27Out of the ball.
24:32With a full, healthy roster.
24:34I'm actually surprised he's in there.
24:38Yeah, that's the challenge if you're Mark Dagnon,
24:41is this team is so loaded.
24:43Who do you leave on the bench?
24:50Fox Taylor Williams, he goes.
24:52And Tatum finds the open man, and Kata finishes it off.
24:55Love what I'm seeing right now in the second quarter from Jason Tatum.
25:03AJ Mitchell operating.
25:05Taken away by Tatum.
25:08Just the second Oklahoma City turnover.
25:22White.
25:26Isaiah Joe, the C's part for him.
25:29He goes all the way.
25:30Isaiah Joe.
25:41Oklahoma City leads the league in points off of turnovers.
25:45More than 22 per game.
25:49That'll stay here.
25:54All right, let's go back.
25:55Jason Tatum attacking away from the help.
25:59Finds Kata.
26:00Kata finishes.
26:01Don't need more of that.
26:02Kata goes to the bench.
26:04Interesting.
26:05Small stint, but he was aggressive.
26:10Jayla Brown's going to need to be aggressive.
26:13It's like, if you know you're getting double teamed,
26:16you still, you cannot be passive.
26:18You still have to attack as much as you can.
26:22Probably got to give it up, but you've got to be aggressive.
26:28Here's Brown.
26:290 for 5 start.
26:31Short corner jumper.
26:33Off the mark.
26:34Here comes Lou Dort.
26:36Celtics shooting just 30% as a team.
26:40Thunder and Celtics top two field goal percentage defenses in the NBA.
26:44Also top two in scoring defense.
26:47Pritchard pesters Williams.
26:49Leads to a steal for Brown.
26:51Right to the rack for his first two.
26:53A little bit of defense turning in some easy buckets.
26:57Remember, Oklahoma City is hard to score against.
27:04McCain slithers into the paint.
27:06Too strong on a jumper.
27:07Pritchard the rebound.
27:08See if the Celtics try to hustle again.
27:15Brown matched up with a big man.
27:17Hardenstein takes him to the dance floor.
27:20A slide drive.
27:21Lost the handle.
27:24Brown did so much for the Celtics in that first meeting in Oklahoma City.
27:28At 34 points, six boards, seven assists.
27:30Did have six turnovers, though.
27:32Oh, it became slick.
27:41Grabbed Peyton Pritchard with his left hand.
27:43Nice move.
27:47Mark Dagnato's already gone 11 deep.
27:49That's crazy.
27:56White turns the corner and banks it in.
27:58His first bucket.
27:59Yeah, you're going to also need Derek White.
28:01He's going to be in that conversation as well.
28:03They're going to be sitting in the lap of Brown, not leaving him and Tatum.
28:06White's going to have to have a few easy ones.
28:12Fouls on Hardenstein.
28:14That's his second Celtics ball.
28:17I look like he grabbed Pritchard with his left hand.
28:20There he goes.
28:21Oh, he grabbed his lower leg.
28:23That's smart.
28:26This is a good look from the Duncan cam.
28:28It's all about the dunk.
28:30All right, so Tatum returns.
28:32Short rest for him.
28:33Pritchard sits.
28:34That was interesting.
28:35Maybe he asked for a sub.
28:37He went to the rack, went to the rack, made the pass.
28:40Maybe he said, I need a little break.
28:41That's weird.
28:42That was a weird sub.
28:43You have to admit that.
28:52Brown got doored on his hip.
28:54And off.
28:55Come on.
28:58He's grabbing and holding.
29:00Are you going to call that?
29:03He's going to ignore all the other grabs.
29:10I mean, in a box, in a vacuum, that's an offensive foul.
29:13But he missed all the other ones.
29:17You see that a lot with Oklahoma City.
29:21That's in the rip.
29:23Got it back from Dort.
29:25Into Joe.
29:26It's a block.
29:28Third foul on the Thunder in the quarter.
29:30Still none on the Celtics.
29:34Tatum in transition.
29:38Yeah, it's an easy call.
29:39Good job.
29:40Good to see Tatum.
29:42Back out there with that short rest.
29:44Celtics chipping away.
29:49Welcome back.
29:50Midway through the second quarter.
29:51Celtics down seven.
29:52Here's to the tours presented by Honeydew.
29:54Level up your coffee game with Crazy Caramel.
29:57The Celtics are going to have to level up
29:58if they want to hold on to that number two seed in the East.
30:01Currently in a virtual tie with the Knicks.
30:03The remaining schedule is one of the hardest in the league.
30:06If not, maybe the hardest.
30:07Just this week, they play Atlanta twice.
30:09The Hawks, who have won 13 of their last 14.
30:1211 straight at home.
30:13While Charlotte remains one of the hottest teams in the league.
30:17Winners of 12 of their last 15 games.
30:19Recently, I got a chance to ask Jalen Brown
30:21how he's looking at the standings.
30:23If he maybe wanted to work up to that number one spot.
30:26And he told me, all we care about is us.
30:29That is our sole focus.
30:30We want to keep getting better.
30:31Of course, we want to get as many wins as possible.
30:34But for us, it's about building our flow and our chemistry.
30:37And we still have a ways to go to do that.
30:39So he told me, the most important thing is to focus on us.
30:42And JT hitting threes from the top of the key doesn't hurt.
30:46Yeah, we've got to focus on us making shots.
30:49I like the way we responded in this second quarter.
30:54And in case you're wondering, the tiebreaker scenario, Celtics and Knicks.
30:58The C's need to beat the Knicks at MSG in a couple of weeks.
31:02And then you'd start going down the line, probably to conference record,
31:05where New York has a game and a half advantage right now.
31:08Holmgren on the drive and finish.
31:13The Knicks have won seven in a row.
31:15I mean, the Celtics need to continue to win to keep pace.
31:24Tatum, oh, driving home run.
31:27Oh, man, that bump was a series.
31:31That bump hit check.
31:32He just froze.
31:35Tatum is locked in.
31:36Hasn't missed.
31:3712 points already.
31:38McCain gets two over here.
31:47Tatum again in that pick and roll.
31:48Kick it out, Houser.
31:51Right back to Tatum.
31:52He is operating.
31:54Hand on the wheel of this Celtics offense.
31:57Skip it over to Brown.
31:59Yes, sir.
32:00J to J for three.
32:02Oh, Mark Degmore not happy.
32:04What a response from the seed in the crowd.
32:07Oh, loving it.
32:18Well, your journey to becoming a season ticket member starts here.
32:22Head to Celtics.com slash waitlist to learn more about joining the season ticket member waitlist presented by TD.
32:28All right, Jason Tatum, second quarter.
32:30He's already got eight points, two assists, two steals, three of three on the board.
32:34Take a look, hit the step back, silky smooth.
32:38Here he is getting downhill, pass it over to Keita who finished his.
32:41I like this one as well.
32:43Showing aggression.
32:45There's that little step back off the pick and roll.
32:47You want to see more two-man game with Tatum.
32:50And then the hit, Chet Holgren, freeze him.
32:53And the assist over to JB.
32:55Wide open three.
32:57Good run by JT.
33:02And the Celtics have cut it to three.
33:04OKC's largest lead was 13.
33:07Shea Gilchrist-Alexander, back in the game, gets wherever he wants.
33:16We've got to do a better job of showing hell.
33:19Like no one can stay in front of that guy.
33:20We've got to do a better job.
33:21He can't get a layup out of the timeout.
33:24That's Tatum's first miss of the night had been four for four.
33:32SGA, a plus 13 in the game.
33:35And he adds three to it.
33:38He's five for six from the field, two for three from downtown.
33:4212 points.
33:47Now defending Brown.
33:49Out to White for three.
33:51There you go.
33:52There you go.
33:55These guys are going to have to make Oklahoma City pay for loading up on our star players.
34:00That's Hauser, White, Ugo.
34:05Dort left alone in the corner.
34:07He missed the shot.
34:08Jalen Brown, the rebound.
34:09I'm just going with a small lineup right now.
34:17Holmberg in the lone big on the floor for Oklahoma City.
34:21They do have Jalen Williams from Arkansas in there.
34:24Wallace was basically doubling JT.
34:26And White hits the open shot.
34:28This is how it's going to be.
34:30That was insane.
34:32There were two guys in front of Jason Tatum.
34:36Daring Derek White to beat you.
34:38We'll see how that strategy works for him.
34:47SGA changing direction.
34:49Dork just missed one from that corner.
34:51Oh, yeah!
34:51Blocked by Jason Tatum!
34:56Brown sets it up for White.
34:58Back to J.B.
34:59Seltz-Kintyre take the lead!
35:05Over-excited in the middle!
35:07And Jason Tatum is dominating this second quarter.
35:15Wallace too strong.
35:19Joe Mazzullo ends up with the ball.
35:21All right, Tatum comes over on the defensive end.
35:26Look at that.
35:27That's our five man.
35:30Take a look.
35:31That's one, two, three guys sitting in his lap.
35:34If you want to win this game,
35:36you're going to have to make shots from outside.
35:37Right now, Celtic 9 of 20 from three.
35:42That's 45%.
35:43That'll get it done.
35:49Tatum gets involved in the action.
35:52Holmgren switched on to him.
35:54Tend to shoot.
35:56One-on-one with Holmgren.
35:58Tatum in the mix.
36:02Out of bounds.
36:03Last touch by White.
36:06Out of bounds.
36:07And the Celtics going with this small lineup,
36:10but they'll check Namesh Kata back into the game.
36:20Caruso all alone.
36:22Jalen Brown was face guarding SGA at half court.
36:30Here's JB.
36:32Poked away.
36:33Gilgis Alexander.
36:36Here's a message from FanDuel.
36:40Boom.
36:41Bang.
36:42Count it.
36:43Boom.
36:44What?
36:44Let's get that out of here.
36:46Bucket.
36:47Bucket.
36:48What?
36:49Let's go.
36:50New customers get up to 300 back in bonus bets
36:52every day for 10 days if your bets don't win.
37:00Tatum was supposed to work against Wallace.
37:02Four to shoot.
37:10SGA has now scored 20-plus in 132 consecutive games.
37:15Broke the record against the Celtics a couple weeks ago.
37:19Caruso, that's in and out.
37:24Brown, nice move.
37:26Steps through.
37:27And scores.
37:27That was amazing.
37:31I could be a star player playing against three guys.
37:34I got you.
37:37Eight points in a row for the Celtics.
37:42SGA flails and gets the call, but it's on the floor.
37:47Watch Jalen Brown cannot be denied.
37:51Goes through one, splits another one, and scores over another.
37:56That's tough.
38:04Called it on the ground.
38:11Come on, J.B.
38:20Mitchell drive, kick, Wallace.
38:23Missed the shot.
38:24Kata high points the rebound as the Celtics have their center back in there.
38:32Seas have not led tonight.
38:35Can change that right here.
38:38Brown rises up.
38:41Taps it out.
38:42Pritchard.
38:44Oh, yeah.
38:45He can't.
38:47Pritchard.
38:49The lead.

43:16They've kept SGA off the line
43:18They've kept Oklahoma City off the line
43:20So keep that in mind
43:21But defensively, they've got to do a better job
43:23Protecting the rim
43:24Abby, did they say anything about offense?
43:28Anything?
43:28I mean, I didn't ask
43:30Everything they talked about
43:32But Sam came up to me quickly
43:34He came out late and said
43:35We have got to do a better job protecting the rim
43:37You got it, thank you
43:38The Thunder with 22 points in the paint to the Celtics' 16
43:41That's part of the first half stats by Jason Stone
43:44Injury Lawyers
43:44Official injury law firm of the Boston Celtics
43:47It just feels odd that we've made 10 threes and we're down
43:51Or we scored 49 points after making 10 threes
43:54Are you going to ask Dick Light to look up the last time that happened?
43:5810 threes in a first half and trailing?
44:0110 threes in a first half and under 50 points?
44:04He's all over it
44:05Here's Gildas Alexander
44:06Sometimes you just have to say
44:08Touche
44:15I don't want to gas him up
44:17This looks so easy for him
44:22I'll focus on our points in the paint
44:248 of 18 in the paint
44:27They did a great job at defending that thing
44:29Now they're second in the league in paint points allowed behind only the Celtics
44:35Jalen Williams
44:36SGA
44:37White
44:38Cut him off
44:41Williams missed the shot
44:42By the way, that touche Gildas Alexander thing, you know who came up with that?
44:45No
44:46Bill Chisholm
44:47Touche?
44:48Yeah
44:48Oh, touche?
44:50Yeah
44:50That's his line as Jalen Brown puts it in
44:54All right
44:55That's a paint point
44:59Celtics in the first half like Scal mentioned, shooting below 50% in the paint
45:03What is this guy made of?
45:06Jeez
45:07He's nails
45:08He's 7 of 8 from the field
45:103 for 4 from downtown
45:1117 points
45:143 away from 20 plus for the 133rd time in a row
45:18Hauser
45:19Yes
45:20Hey, there we go
45:21That's a big shot
45:22There we go
45:233
45:25Remember, Hauser was left wide open
45:27He was 1 of 5 in the first half
45:35Holmgren the miss, here's Brown for Hauser
45:37He made his first shot, then missed 6 in a row
45:40And that makes you, if he gets him going
45:43Foul on Lou Dort
45:45Oklahoma City falls on number 5, Logan Stork
45:48His first
45:49First team
45:51Somehow the first foul on Lou Dort
45:53Yeah, so
45:53All right
45:54Here's what I want to see
45:55Gravity
45:56I want to see a player get
45:58And force Oklahoma City to be in rotation
46:01I don't feel like they've been in rotation
46:02One time
46:03All game
46:04Nice
46:05Oh, I thought Cato was going to get a dunk
46:08I don't know
46:09I don't know
46:10I don't know
46:10I don't know
46:11I don't know
46:11Everything they do
46:12It's like
46:13It's just
46:14They're not overreacting or underreacting
46:24That's why they're the best defense in the league
46:26Second year in a row
46:26But a bust there
46:27White
46:28Missed the shot
46:35Jalen Williams to the hole
46:37Got the late whistle
46:39And he'll head to the line
46:40Really
46:40He's on the floor
46:42But really nice finishing move
46:44Watch as he goes
46:45Kind of has like a pass fake to a finish
46:48Right there
46:52You got to name that
46:54We got a slow yo
46:55We got a euro
46:56We have a decel
46:59It's like a pass fake
47:02Euro
47:04We'll come up with something more snappy than that
47:06And here's a message from Zenni
47:09Basketball
47:09Is all about vision
47:13Seeing things on the court
47:14And setting your sights on something bigger
47:18Yeah
47:20Clear vision
47:21Is everything
47:25You read it
47:26Because I feel like he's mad at me
47:27I almost don't believe this
47:29January 23rd against the Nets
47:31Same situation for the Celtics
47:33Made 10 threes
47:34Had 49 points
47:35And were trailing at halftime
47:36By six in that game
47:37Ended up winning 130 to 126
47:41130 points for the game
47:4349 at halftime
47:45Quicker infants
47:46That's 81 points in the second half
47:48Of course the Thunder provide a little more resistance
47:50Than the Nets do
47:53Hardenstein the push shot
47:57Man they're good
48:06Is Kata on the finish
48:08A little bit of ball movement there
48:09Good job by Kata
48:10Stealing
48:12Hardenstein
48:13An easy two
48:14Four points in the paint
48:16And the hockey assist for Jason Tatum
48:18Who's drawing a lot of attention
48:19As the ball handler
48:21And the pick and roll
48:22Blue Doork with his third three of the game
48:24Leads to a Joe Missoula timeout
48:28Joe's gonna do something different here
48:30I don't know what it is true
48:31But he's gonna try something
48:37Let's talk about Silky Smooth
48:39S.G.
