03:19to
03:19send a message early Howard flying and scoring again fast pace to this game Sean
03:25the Grizzlies 10th in the NBA pace the Spurs are 12 now they have no choice

03:34second career start inside woman Yama had small on him swinging around champagne one
03:43extra pass another one right back to Harper it's that's messing around
03:49okay balls flying yeah okay I will take it and now another fast break for the Spurs numbers Victor

04:09ball movement like that last possession for a long long time that was Spurs basketball
04:15they're missing De'Aaron Fox in the starting lineup but Harper fitting right in Jackson off the mark for
04:23three Victor the rebound that last steal was Victor's 200th of his career castle the slow
04:30step Champagny rolls it in for three it's all going down for San Antonio I mean that was justice right
04:38there Steph Castle makes the right decision shouldn't force a shot there in the paint kicks it out to
04:42Julian Champagny Julian's gotta come through for Steph picking up that assist Olivier Maxwell's prospered short
04:50on the three Grizzlies the most injured team in the NBA 437 man games lost this ball is flinging and
04:59Champagny makes him pay timeout Memphis how do you stop it when it's that fast it's an onslaught of ball
05:06movement that's incredibly impressive the way our guys are sharing the ball early on I mean they're
05:12throwing the clock back to 14 the way they played the first four minutes here unbelievable
05:25all right welcome back to your Methodist Healthcare assistant I almost had to take my shoes off to count how
05:29many passes we make here all right here's one two three nice ball fake from Julian could have taken that
05:37one five six seven pass it back eight might as well somebody's got to shoot it Dylan Harper hits the
05:45bottom for your Methodist Healthcare assistant thankfully I still got all my digits I was starting to run out I
05:53was
05:53counting on my hands eight assists one dribble on that play the Spurs six assists on six main shots to
06:01start there four seven from three there were two three to start this game from the quarters which we talked
06:07about so far if you want to look at the definition of unselfish basketball just took that clip on anywhere
06:14looks like our guys don't care who's scoring the ball
06:18here comes castle parted by small right inside the woman yama
06:23Dylan Harper driving Harper elevating floating and putting it down I told Avery Johnson at the beginning
06:30of the year Dylan Harper is a super superstar how about that play there turning this back to the basket
06:36Palmas Isolo the head coach for the Grizzlies making some lineup changes cam spencer is in who really
06:42played well gets the spurs last time out Tyler Burton is in on a 10-day contract
06:48this is Dijon Giroux who's also on a 10-day contract
06:55when man yama has small on him when man yama makes them look small
07:00count it and a foul
07:06goodness i mean
07:07start to actually
07:08i hate to say this but you start to feel bad for the other team
07:12i mean that's as small as he's out there working hard but he goes for the steel he gambles a
07:18little
07:18bit picture's backing him down and he's never seen anybody anything like that in his life
07:23it's like
07:25victor also grabbed his
07:271900th career rebound
07:30goes at a couple milestones on the steel and then
07:32the rebound harper gets his first rest kelvin johnson checks in and victor is a chance for a three-point
07:38play
07:42it's still a 20-4 run
07:44to start this game here in memphis
07:46like i said earlier
07:47the grizzlies they just don't have a lot of scores out there
07:50who's going to put the ball in the basket there another turnover castle with room
07:54castle windmill right in front of his former college teammate that's a husky
08:01cam spitzer son step castle in front of me just said all right i've seen enough of it already
08:07saw that in practice for a year that's gonna be foolish 17 and nothing spurs run
08:14jeru ends it
08:18john what's it feel like if you are the grizzlies right now in that onslaught of a 17 nothing run
08:22to start a little helpless i can't say it's happened to me a lot
08:26kelvin scores inside
08:31spurs have only missed three shots in this game
08:33they're 10 of 13 they're getting whatever they want
08:40jeru takes it
08:42can't make it spurs gobble up the rebound
08:45castle head up for victor
08:48he saved it for a moment but then stepped out
08:50and you see small's reaction there he just turned around like thank god
08:55that pass has been on the money he just looked back at victor too he just looked back he just
09:01looked
09:01up to thank you
09:04when he gets a rest
09:05mason plumley checks in here's the windmill from the husky yeah
09:10our guys it's been a lot of show time here in the first half
09:16would have been more of step castle we've been able to catch that pass off the glass from debon
09:20to sell earlier
09:23after clayton jr here he is in for the first time coming over again with taylor hendricks and that
09:28jaron jackson jr big time trade at the trade deadline
09:33spencer trying to break free left it short here come the spurs once again
09:37even with victor off the floor the guys on the perimeter doing a phenomenal job
09:41so it's not easy pickings even when you have the defensive player of the year taking a rest
09:47the cell driving a cell going for it all and he got fouled the spurs
09:52had hit their last eight shots our guys are just absolutely they're merciless right now
09:58this is marauding the fedex
10:02forum here i mean they're trying to raise the building
10:08so devon
10:10to the free throw line 82 percent on the season
10:17this is what you want to see the mentality from a team that's not only going into the playoffs but
10:23has
10:23championship on their mind not taking any game out of the 82 lightly
10:28no i haven't seen them come into a building and do this yet
10:33you know we've had some good starts but it's been kind of a merciless beat down
10:38to start this one and
10:40you know we don't call the dogs off pretty soon mitch has it fun full attack mode
10:51here's spencer castle's gonna guard him of course those two know each other well
10:58tyler burton inside kicking out for jeru the rookie from houston rims out and plumbly got the rebound to
11:06pushed it to kelvin here's kj
11:11lost it that's the spurs third turnover
11:18now the cell guarding spencer spurs used a 17-0 run
11:23midway through this first quarter playton jr knocks down the three he's impressed
11:27just a little bit the rookie out of florida yeah that exhibition game earlier this year in san antonio
11:32he was perfect from the field
11:34in the first game in the regular season at 17 points against the spurs
11:414 30 remaining first quarter here from memphis maybe that was the game the one in san antonio
11:46where he was a former utah jazzy end up upsetting us that night
11:53keldin for three
11:56long rebound
11:57the cell saves it castle the fake pass castle drives and and just took the life of hendrix
12:05he sucked the life out of him
12:10yes he did
12:15and jeru falls down this is an unbelievable showcase here for the spurs it's like an all-star game
12:22to harrison barnes missing the three
12:29what is going on it's absolutely filthy i mean i believe this camp spencer went for the fake on the
12:34perimeter and steph castle had a free lane oh no i mean it's starting to worry me now
12:42it's going to be a little bit off the cell he hits a three the spurs are five of ten
12:46from downtown
12:48it's a 30 to nine start
12:52the hottest team in the nba continuing their heat here in memphis tennessee
12:57the castle had a free runway and he's in there collecting bodies look at his reaction after
13:05he's like i can't believe you tried to do that
13:09don't you know i am steph castle the stare down from steph nasty
13:21what did we just witness just complete and utter
13:26domination annihilation our guys just came in here awfully rude to do that to the home team five dunks
13:32already the spurs third most dunks in a season but all the dunks were spectacular oh wow they were
13:41just a little easy dunks windmills thrown down on people spin and dunk for and one
13:51jackson comes back and gets a chance at a three-point play
13:58but yeah that was world domination that was sunny between the believe between the timeouts
14:06about a 4 48 minute stretch they were six of eight from the field 75 percent jackson misses the chance
14:14of the three-point play carter bryant the rebound
14:19so dylan harper harrison barnes mason plumbly kelden johnson carter bryant out there for san antonio
14:27just tuning in you missed some big dunks and a 17-0 san antonio run
14:32the big dunks is there's an understatement harper can't hit the three that's soft gg jackson
14:39for spurs basketball and we saw windmill dunk from castle a poster jam from castle
14:46devon vissell tried to go for a poster
14:51looked like again the all-star game
14:58grizzlies really banged up the most injured team in the nba
15:00kelvin the swish for three that's six for the spurs
15:05guys having way too much fun out there but they're taking care of business early and that's what i talked
15:09about i don't think that dylan harper has a chance
15:12to get a 30 piece like chris miles was talking about at the start of the game because he's not
15:18going to play that long we our guys are going now carter bryant he wants a piece of it bryant
15:23just lost
15:24it out of bounds it got poked free he was trying to gather two-step and do something as well
15:28and i predict he's in store for a big dunk as well tonight
15:33you mentioned harper hopefully getting a rest and same could be said with victor after he plays the
15:3920 minutes that he needs to be considered for postseason awards keldin off the mark
15:44tyler burton the rebound
15:51dan spencer he was big in the fourth quarter last time and that one point win from memphis
15:55against the spurs burton hits the three burton on his second 10-day contract playing in his eighth
16:02career game well he's got something to prove out there there's a solid rebound on the defensive end
16:08and stepped into that shot with a lot of confidence
16:12keldin trying to take gg jackson spins away whips it to carter bryant harper the crossover back out kj3
16:21oh no justice let the ball move with they're doing hard could have easily taken that little pop a
16:26shot in the paint we've seen the spurs are passing up good shots to try and get great shots no
16:32question
16:3512 assists on 13 main field goals for san antonio shot clock going down
16:41dylan harper stayed in front of spencer burton tough shot and an excellent defensive possession
16:49harrison barnes waits and scores
16:54a little hesitation incredible balance there we see harrison practicing that shot so many times
17:01during his warm-ups just got it down
17:04jr throws it up carter bryant thought he was straight up it's called for the foul
17:13shot victor's back up at the scores table to come back in for his normal
17:16last usually one to two minute stretches
17:18late junior first free throw good the rookie from florida
17:29so victor in
17:31center coward in for the grizzlies as well as the second oldest player in the nba taj gibson at
17:3940 years old playing in his 17th nbc i figured we would see him at some point tonight i thought
17:44maybe
17:45sometime in the fourth quarter it's been an early stint
17:50former draftees the chicago bulls part of those great bulls teams with derrick rose
17:55he's playing mentor here in memphis
18:02lemon yama keeps it from getting stolen clayton fell down the shovel pass
18:07too strong on the three from cb and then the grizzlies turn it over for the fifth time in the
18:13first quarter
18:19time for two for one here for mitch johnson's squad
18:25come out firing away
18:31next on to cross regarding lemon yama now to switch and harper the switch he's just so polished he's been
18:38so
18:38so good he's improving he's already came in he was a polished player but you can see the improvement
18:43from the beginning of the year to now it's so consistent and efficient as clinton jr rules in the three
18:50filling shooting 68 over his last two games
18:54and again has the best assist to turnover ratio in spurs rookie history
19:03barnes getting gibson a jump back out harper throw it up carter bryant inside gathers weights they got fouled
19:13that was the right idea there from dylan trying to throw up a little baby lob
19:19to carter bryant but the defender got right back into play at the last second blew up an easy dunk
19:30carter bryant to the free throw line
19:35can't get the first
19:38here's our navy federal credit union on a mission dylan harper has been on a mission
19:46there's three-point shooting
19:48there's the skyrocketing field goal percentage he's getting a lot of easy points layups
19:53one of our better finishers around the rim
19:56power that'll count well short and you really can't ask for a better first quarter
20:04if you're the spurs who put up 38 points a couple mesmerizing dunks and the ball was flying around
20:13i mean 38 points and 28 of them were spectacular i mean look at that beautiful layup there
20:22that counts for more than two promise you that
20:30san antonio spurs basketball and fanduel sports network is brought to you by the methodist healthcare
20:35system methodist healthcare proudly offers 10 neighborhood yards across san antonio
20:42oh my there was a lot of that
20:48crazy first quarter yeah
20:51had everything you wanted if you're a spurs fan
20:54second quarter starts off with a taj gibson three second oldest player in the nba playing his sixth
21:01game of the season in his one thousand and eighth career game now that old man jumper going
21:07it took his time a little bit of a windup that gold's jim jumper
21:14champagne trying to get physical missed it gg jackson with the rebound
21:19brown
21:26Jackson fires and hits and the Grizzlies are two of two from three to start the second
21:31point.
21:32He's trying to hide behind that screen.
21:33Did a great job.
21:35He's a scorer now.
21:37Definitely put the ball in the basket.
21:42Harper, kicking out.
21:43Wide open HB.
21:46That's a well-earned assist there.
21:49Dylan Harper again with his size in the paint.
21:52That's probably a pretty solid finish for him.
21:54Instead, Alexa pass the ball out to wide open Harrison Barnes.
21:59Howard.
22:02Kicking out to Devon Small.
22:05Now Gigi Jackson fires again.
22:09Not that time.
22:10Cuomo Cecilio had to take out the majority of his starters after that quick first burst for the Spurs.
22:17Webinyama.
22:18No good that time.
22:19It was a 17-0 run in the middle of that first quarter for San Antonio.
22:27Gibson gives it back to Spencer.
22:29Stop and pop.
22:31Can't get that to fall.
22:35Victor has Gibson trailing.
22:37And he just wrapped him up.
22:41He was not going to let him go try and dunk it.
22:45And the officials will get together here.
22:47James Williams, our crew chief, referee Jason Goebel and umpire Derek Collins.
22:52So that is two free throws for Victor.
22:58First player in the last 40 years to 4,000 points, 600 blocks before turning 23.
23:10Hopefully he doesn't have to play more than 25 minutes in this one tonight.
23:15Just get a good run and get off the floor.
23:22Get a couple days off before the Milwaukee game.
23:24Yes, two days off for the first time in what feels like a long time.
23:30Feels like a month.
23:37Small has Jordan McLaughlin guarding it.
23:39Remember Jordan came in and played excellent defense that last game in Memphis.
23:44Impact off the bench.
23:45Harper's sky for the rebound.
23:47Great job by Julian just to stay in that play.
23:49Didn't concede that jumper to Coward.
23:51To 17-9 rebounding advantage for the Spurs.
23:56Harper fires.
23:58And that's a bit short.
24:00He saw the Spurs really rebound well in Miami.
24:03Sean, 62 to 38, the advantage there.
24:08Yeah, just did not see that coming.
24:11Only Miami Heat are physical ball club.
24:14Our guys just took it to him.
24:19Spencer, want to work the baseline.
24:22Luminama shows.
24:23Gibson got blocked by Webby.
24:25It didn't create enough separation there.
24:27And Cam Spencer was trying to set the table for him.
24:32HB.
24:34In and out.
24:36Hits seven threes against the Grizzlies earlier in the season.
24:43Small the dish.
24:45Coward.
24:45Probing.
24:47It's been a way to Webby.
24:49That's what I'm talking about.
24:50He doesn't get as many opportunities for blocks.
24:52A lot of guys bear out.
24:55Coward hits the three.
24:56Mitch Johnson.
24:58We'll call a timeout.
25:01So Coward has seven of the 28 for Memphis.
25:05We'll take a break and come right back.
25:12Time now for our ledger defensive blocks of the night.
25:17Victor doing work.
25:18Yeah, this is the little soft block there where he controls it.
25:21Doesn't have to swipe it or slap it out of bounds.
25:23He's like a block and steal all in one.
25:26And there, Josh Gibson just can't create enough separation there.
25:30And he's been around the league a long time.
25:32He hadn't seen anything like that.
25:33He's going to get that shot off against pretty much everyone else that he's played against.
25:3741 career blocks against the Grizzlies.
25:39Second most against any opponent.
25:4242 against the Jazz for the most against any team in the NBA.
25:51Castle on the floor with Barnes, Vassell, Webinyama, and Julian Champagny.
25:59Let's get back to that ball movement that we love so much there in the first quarter.
26:04Castle looking and lost it.
26:07Fourth turnover for the Spurs.
26:12Spencer stepping back.
26:15Short again.
26:17Now Victor over midcourt.
26:22Bruce trying to go for their seventh consecutive win.
26:26Barnes moves it.
26:28Castle.
26:30I've had a good, a couple good possessions and just can't get the ball to fall now.
26:36Coward for three.
26:39Vassell grabs another rebound.
26:41That's his fourth.
26:44Castle with speed.
26:46Kick out Champagny.
26:48He can't get it to go.
26:53Coward.
26:54And that was stolen by Jules.
26:56You see the threes not falling for the Spurs.
26:58See if they go inside here a little bit.
27:00Not a big enough window there for Cam Spitzer to make that pass.
27:06Barnes, kick it out.
27:07Devon, he drives.
27:09Devon.
27:09Oh, he almost got it.
27:11There's a lid on that thing.
27:13The same lays it in, but.
27:15Almost.
27:22Jackson kind of moved Castle and Weminyama came over and sent his shot away.
27:29Gets it back.
27:30Takes the three.
27:36Takes the handoff to Devon and a foul.
27:38Boy, Taylor Hendricks got himself out of position.
27:41Big time there.
27:42Victor spins.
27:44With the left side.
27:45Yeah.
27:45He's playing way out of the left side.
27:47And when Victor spun, there was no one in the lane.
27:52Victor Weminyama again.
27:54Even when you make a good move, you get physical, you get to the basket.
27:58Normally, you're going to get that bucket.
28:00There's Victor to erase another one.
28:05Wemby.
28:05Nope.
28:06That's how I'm turned over.
28:10Grizzlies have been tops in the NBA in deflections and steals since the All-Star break.
28:15Their defense has been playing better.
28:16This team plays hard, Sean.
28:19And in the midst of a one-and-nine stretch in their last ten.
28:22Burton.
28:23Very good on the three.
28:25Spurs coaching staff made that an emphasis at shoot around this morning.
28:28This team's going to play hard no matter the record.
28:3024-47.
28:32Boy.
28:33The step didn't kind of mishandle that left-handed dribble.
28:36Might have been another solid finish at the rim.
28:39Small got it blocked on the three.
28:41Victor's rejecting everybody.
28:45Try to get up there quickly and get a sneaky three ball.
28:50And Penny got it ripped free.
28:52Got a little sloppy.
28:55Short shot by Burton.
28:57It's damn sloppy.
29:01Slow it down and watch.
29:04And that's another timeout, Sean, that we've talked about.
29:07Mitch can sense these moments where it can get a little hangout.
29:09We got a little out of hand.
29:11A little patty-wompous on us.
29:12And, look, we were a big lead, and now it's down to 15.
29:17Guys, you know, don't forget what got you there.
29:20It was unbelievable ball movement there in the first quarter.
29:22That's kind of gone out the window.
29:24But the Grizzlies, making a few mistakes themselves, trying to shoot that one over Victor, would be one of them.
29:35Spur vision time.
29:36There was a lot of good stuff.
29:37What did you choose to look at?
29:39There was too much good stuff.
29:40I mean, Victor, right there, just extends for a steal.
29:44You see Steph Castle out there running the right lane.
29:46And, Victor, this is your center off the dribble.
29:50Now, watch this.
29:50This is what really made my eyes pop.
29:52Keldon, by the way, was the inbounder, mind you.
29:57And inbounds of basketball, then outruns the field for a layup and a knee to Tyler Burton for good measure.
30:04That'll learn you.
30:05Keldon just moves him out of the way.
30:07Missed it, but Wemenyama tips it right back.
30:09His sixth rebound and his eighth point.
30:13This is the first point scored in this game in the last three minutes.
30:17And there's another block by the Spurs.
30:21Victor's out there long enough.
30:23You can get ten blocks.
30:24Victor passing out last second.
30:28Champagne cross-court pass.
30:30Castle in on Hendricks.
30:32And he got...
30:34Hit on the way to the rack.
30:40So that's three on Hendricks.
30:43See if Tomas Isolo keeps him in or not.
30:46No one at the scores table yet.
30:47Castle to the free throw line.
30:49Last five games for Steph Sean.
30:5117 points per game.
30:52Nine assists.
30:53Seven rebounds.
30:54That's triple-double watch every single game.
31:01As he hits the first free throw.
31:02Now we hear from H-E-B.
31:16That's 45% from downtown.
31:18Those last five games from Steph as well.
31:22You know, it's fun to see that he got a couple games off and he comes back.
31:25And he didn't have to shake off any rust.
31:27Yep.
31:28Still polished.
31:29Those two games.
31:30Rest in that hip.
31:32Clayton Jr. with the miss.
31:33Devin the rebound.
31:3527 to 13.
31:36The rebounding advantage right now.
31:37Castle.
31:38Eyes up.
31:39To Victor.
31:40Off glass.
31:41How does that not fall?
31:43Are you kidding me?
31:44Well, it's the glass softly.
31:46Hits the front of the rim.
31:47Looks like it's going to fall.
31:48Somehow it pops out.
31:50Maybe those basketball gods.
31:52Trying to check themselves in this game a little bit.
31:57Maxon's Prosper hits the three.
32:00Started the last now 18 games for Memphis.
32:03Third year player from Marquette.
32:08Still a 16-point advantage for San Antonio.
32:11Crossover Castle on his way.
32:13Bank it off glass.
32:14Yes, sir.
32:15That's really, really good focus there from Steph.
32:18Like I've been telling you, I want to see more and ones instead of two free throws.
32:23And it's a great example there.
32:25Able to absorb the contact and kept his eyes on the glass.
32:32Excellent opportunity for an and one.
32:34Sean Castle has three rebounds so far.
32:36Mitch Johnson talked after last game that he loved how he had seven rebounds in Miami
32:42because it allows him to push the ball more just because he's so fast and he can do it himself.
32:46He's not having to come back and call for it.
32:48Exactly.
32:48It takes extra pass out of the equation.
32:52Clayton Jr. wild take and a foul called on Dylan Harper.
32:59That's his first personal first team foul.
33:04Clayton Jr. has already got eight points off the bench for the Grizzlies.
33:11Lost to the Spurs back on November 18th by 10.
33:14No victor in that game.
33:16Fox big game.
33:1626 points.
33:18Barnes hit four threes.
33:19December 2nd, the Spurs got the win.
33:22Again, no victor.
33:23That was when Harrison went for 31.
33:25Right.
33:25It's seven threes.
33:26Fox hit 29 points.
33:28And then the one-point loss here, January 6th.
33:31Harrison through that skyhook, right?
33:33Yes.
33:34Late in the game.
33:35That was the one we got taken off of.
33:39I remember that.
33:40I was watching that from the comfort of my couch.
33:44Harper passed out.
33:47Castle fading away.
33:49He got fouled.
33:52Mid-range shot.
33:54He's continuing to take more of.
33:59That is already five team fouls on Memphis.
34:01The Spurs are in the bonus.
34:03The rest of the way, four minutes and ten seconds.
34:13So Castle with two free throws, ten points, three rebounds, four assists.
34:19I mean, victor's the guy you're watching right now.
34:21He's got eight, six, and five blocks.
34:24He's got three assists, and he made a few more shots.
34:28He might have five assists.
34:30He might be on quadruple double watch.
34:32Oh, quad double watch.
34:34Okay.
34:35Big Dave's die.
34:36Oh, yeah.
34:41Well, there's still a lot of game left.
34:44But.
34:45Yeah, but, you know,
34:47let's yourself a 19-point lead.
34:48Let's Memphis does something here,
34:50and the middle of the third quarter,
34:53I just don't see victor.
34:54playing maybe at all in the fourth.
34:58Castle trying to look for a window here.
35:00Maybe pick the ball off.
35:03That's what's up that time.
35:06Giroud, Maxon's Prosper.
35:08Puts it on the deck, kick out.
35:10Giroud, three.
35:12Oh, good.
35:13Loose ball.
35:14Loose ball foul against the Spurs.
35:17That's on.
35:17Kelvin.
35:18Kelvin's got to be a little sneaker,
35:20because he put his hand up,
35:21and then he kept his hand up,
35:22almost like he was expecting the whistle there.
35:25Go ahead and grab the rebound,
35:27and start pushing it up the floor.
35:29Look like he was expecting that whistle to come,
35:31and try to act like,
35:33I didn't do anything.
35:37Clayton, Giroud,
35:39fouled.
35:41Now, three team fouls on the Spurs.
35:48That's the third team foul.
35:52First on Castle,
35:55so Dejan Giroud to the free throw line.
36:02First one good.
36:03He's a 71% free throw shooter.
36:05There's Tomas Islo in his first season,
36:07became the interim head coach
36:09after the Grizzlies surprisingly fired Taylor Jenkins
36:13on March 28th.
36:14Nine games remaining last regular season.
36:17That was one of the more surprising things
36:19that happened in the NBA last year.
36:20It really was shocking.
36:24That Michael Malone late in the season.
36:26Malone was with three games remaining.
36:28I mean, that's just unheard of.
36:32The first time actually did I ever see that.
36:43Harper,
36:45kind of dance,
36:46lost it.
36:48Giroud.
36:50That's not prosper.
36:53Now,
36:53Coward.
36:54There was Burton and Clayton Jr.
36:56Victor to the scores table.
36:58Check in next dead ball.
37:01Bucket there for Clayton Jr.
37:05It's a gift for Grizzlies,
37:07a little bit of credit here.
37:08They've hung in there.
37:08I mean,
37:09they just got absolutely annihilated
37:11the first six minutes of the game.
37:14They didn't put their heads down.
37:15They just continue to battle.
37:17Champagne short on the three.
37:20Here come the Grizzlies.
37:22They want to play fast.
37:24Tenth and pace.
37:27They're a young squad.
37:28That's on Prosper and one.
37:38Well,
37:39we've got the little loose on both ends of the floor.
37:42A couple unnecessary turnovers.
37:44Some fouls as well.
37:47That's a terrible feeling when your opponent gives you a ball fake.
37:51You leave the ground and there's nothing you can do.
37:54You're just at the mercy of the offensive player.
37:56And Prosper does a great job there.
37:58Hanging in,
37:59going through our guy for an N1.
38:02And you're down 13 with a chance to cut it to 12.
38:04You kind of take that as a win if you're Memphis.
38:14We're going down the back end.
38:15We've seen some token full court pressure here from Memphis.
38:24Castle gets it back from Wemby.
38:26Moves it.
38:26Devin sticks it for three.
38:29Good focus there by Devin Bissell.
38:32Got a little cold for our guys there.
38:34Really took his time.
38:35That one got his speed set.
38:37Good looking shot.
38:38Devin in double figures with 10.
38:43Giroux.
38:44Missed it.
38:49Castle with speed.
38:52Devin.
38:54HB corner.
38:57Harper.
38:58Could have easily laid that one up.
39:00He goes back out to Victor.
39:02Two-minute mark of the first half.
39:05Vassell three.
39:08And out of bounds.
39:11Memphis coming off a 146-107 loss.
39:16In Atlanta.
39:17They're 11th of 12 that they've lost.
39:23They turned it over 23 times.
39:25And Atlanta scored 39 points off of those turnovers.
39:29Atlanta's been on a roll.
39:31Well, we were well on our way to maybe a buck 50.
39:33And our offense got a sock here in the second quarter.
39:39The fourth most starting lineups for the Grizzlies in the NBA as well.
39:49Castle crossover swing through and a trip.
39:54The Spurs have been in the bonus.
39:58The last three and a half minutes.
40:05Prosper or Maxwell's Prosper his second.
40:09Personal foul.
40:10We haven't done a very good job at the free throw line tonight as well.
40:16We'll start fixing that.
40:187 to 12.
40:19Yeah, it's kind of gone south over the last month or so.
40:23The Toronto game.
40:25Shakey the way we finished that one in the free throw line.
40:31No announcer jinx.
40:34No sir.
40:35I gave you the eyes.
40:36You did.
40:39But you're not taking it from me tonight.
40:41No, no.
40:42You've got to clean that up.
40:46You've got to get better over the next three weeks for sure.
40:52Wet spot on the floor.
40:58That cleaned up.
41:05Bruce did such a good job of moving the basketball.
41:07There's John Morant.
41:08Lost for the season.
41:09Team announced with the left elbow injury.
41:12One of nine guys on the injury report.
41:15Tonight from Memphis.
41:18Davies Caldwell-Pope lost for the season.
41:21Zach Eady potentially lost for the season.
41:23Santiel Dama.
41:24Brandon Clark out for the season.
41:27Scottie Pippen Jr.
41:28As well out for the season.
41:29There's a real chance.
41:31And John Morant's played his last game here.
41:35So much noise at the trade deadline.
41:37Of course.
41:37Nothing happened.
41:39Things change in the summertime.
41:40Especially around the draft.
41:44There's Tyler Burton for three.
41:47Undrafted.
41:48Again on his second 10-day contract with the Grizz.
41:51Bounce pass from Webby.
41:54The sell.
41:56Harper with time.
41:57Hits the three.
41:58There you go.
41:59Number nine for San Antonio.
42:01It was almost similar to what we pulled off in that first quarter.
42:03Just patience around the horn.
42:06Making the right pass.
42:07Not taking the first opportunity.
42:12Clayton almost lost it.
42:15Ole Max Crossford hits it.
42:22Eight-second, rather seven-second difference.
42:24Seven and a half seconds, we'll call it, between the shot clock and game clock.
42:27Y'all食べ down it.
42:33One, two, two.
42:34One, two, three!
42:35One, two, two!
42:35Harper fires again.
42:38Offensive rebound kept alive.
42:40That was HB who tipped it now. They get the final shot
42:44Victor the final shot
42:47Back and down two defenders come and he got hit with point four seconds remaining
43:00Made the right decision there to turn away from the double team
43:03Going to that shot the double team really in reality shouldn't affect
43:11All that much and he's just lost it there for a second. Let me see the slack press the arm
43:15They're gonna challenge you. They are
43:19To a challenge that's interesting with less than a second remaining
43:28This is the own well coaches challenge again crew chief James Williams in his 15th season
43:35Memphis is called a timeout to challenge the on-court ruling on a defensive foul that plays under further reduce
43:50He's at the high five slap. Yeah, it's hard to tell the official that angle. Yeah, they wanted to emphasize
43:56that the ball first
43:58Looks like he takes his hands off the ball
44:13Hard to tell it's really hard to tell I mean it is
44:18It's happening so quickly slow it down
44:21I'm still hard to tell if you got ball or hand from that angle
44:32Officials still looking at it James Williams Jason global Derek Collins Brent Barneke CJ Washington in tape Wang
44:39And Simone jokes in the replay center tonight across the NBA
44:45Yeah, see the truck is telling me they gave me every angle. They didn't give me that one
44:49That the officials have
44:55I think they may have one more
44:59That we looking all salty in the truck right now
45:02But the shot the truck the Sean the truck is not happy with you
45:08Too bad
45:15They're asking to shut your mic off
45:19They can't actually do this though. I mean they can but they won't
45:25Because they want sushi. They know it's in Denver. Yeah
45:31Yeah
45:31Yeah, good luck
45:33We'll go there
45:34After review it has been determined that the defender does get to the height of the ball and following that
45:39it is incidental contact to the body
45:41Therefore the ruling thank you on the floor of a defensive foul has been overturned to a no call
45:46The challenge by Memphis is successful
45:49Eminent possession is Memphis ball with a deep corner throw in
45:54The challenge is successful. Memphis keeps their time out. They have one challenge remaining
46:00All right
46:07Talking to some fans when he made that announcement
46:11Who came up with that block? Was it
46:13Bernie?
46:15Did he give credit for a block there?
46:19Yes, he did just showed up so oh they did you right one he's gonna phone home about tonight
46:26That won't count
46:29So that takes away potential spurs free throws
46:33And at the end of the first half it's a 13-point advantage san antonio again
46:36Then led by as many as 22 thanks to a 17 nothing mid first quarter run a lot of dunks
46:41in the first quarter
46:42So we started off the ball game victor gets it down step castle you get it done victor dunk it
46:47again step
46:48How about a windmill oh?
46:52Just rude
46:58Second half about to start here inside of fedex form jacob toby and sean elliott with you
47:03Just tuning in
