01:46Продолжение следует...
02:16And an OB's first shot comes up short.
02:20See, they're looking to run.
02:21Ball is the catalyst.
02:23They've got five players averaging
02:24between 17 and 20 a game.
02:27As Lamella Ball playing the best
02:29team basketball of his
02:31career right now.
02:32Yeah, 19 points,
02:34five bounds, seven assists is all.
02:36And a lot of creativity.
02:38Shaking and baking.
02:39Bounding.
02:41Towns had a huge game.
02:43And that's your...
02:44Good job, buddy.
02:48Charlotte to take away the back door.
02:50Brunson has to throw it up.
02:51Shot clock was winding down.
02:53Miller the rebound.
02:54Nick's pretty stagnant that time, bruv.
02:55They've got to move the ball against these guys.
02:57Mellon Ball way outside.
02:59Several feet behind the arc.
03:00And this is what they've been doing.
03:02They didn't have a quick pace
03:03early in the season,
03:04but they've upped it
03:05during this recent stretch.
03:07Ball has six threes the last game.
03:09Oh, beautiful move from Towns.
03:11By Towns just looks quicker
03:12over the last several weeks.
03:14Yeah, and a game against the Hornets.
03:16He had 35 and 18.
03:18The other game he had 26,
03:19though he's played well against it.
03:21There's Miller.
03:22Miller is their leading scorer.
03:24And he draws the foul on Towns.
03:27So Miller will shoot.
03:31Let's take a look at the grandeur of ball.
03:34Infinite range, folks.
03:36He's a good, bad shot shooter.
03:38Only a...
03:39He's a 36% shooter from behind the arc.
03:43Last time we were here,
03:44they wanted to trade him.
03:46He and the coach were going at him.
03:48So he's very hostile.
03:50And the Knick fans took over this arena
03:53the last time we played here.
03:54He's still only 24.
03:55He can make spectacular plays
03:57that very few in the league can do.
04:00But in the past,
04:01health has been an issue,
04:02and often it was style over substance.
04:04The shot selection,
04:06the decision-making.
04:07But that has changed
04:09in these last couple of months.
04:10He's making good decisions.
04:11He's not taking as many bad shots.
04:13And he's got a very high skill level play.
04:16Also, he's playing defense, Mike.
04:17His teammates have been rewarded him for that.
04:19Working diligently on the defense now.
04:22Backdoor, Bridges deflects it.
04:24And an OB.
04:25That's down to three.
04:26How about that play from Bridges?
04:28And look at first,
04:28I thought it was an errant pass.
04:30But Bridges looked like
04:31he intentionally deflected out to the corner.
04:33Well, there wasn't a little serendipity involved.
04:36We've got to look at that again.
04:38I'm going to give him credit.
04:39Ball again.
04:40Knocks down another.
04:43He's shooting on the season 37%.
04:46And Mike Brown not happy with the start.
04:48This has been a problem for Lennox
04:50even during some of their winning ways.
04:52Their first quarter defense,
04:53especially defending the three.
04:56My first two keys.
04:58Three ball.
04:59And ball falling.
05:01And right now,
05:02that's what's tantalizing.
05:04Let's take a look at Bridges' pass.
05:07Oh, he just got lucky to get it over to OG that time.
05:10I'm not so sure.
05:14We'll take it.
05:15We'll take it.
05:20He's down by five.
05:22That pass has been called that,
05:25Clyde,
05:25because they gave him an assist.
05:27This is our Buick replay.
05:29See,
05:29he tends to guide it out there.
05:31And the scorer's table
05:32actually gave him the assist for that.
05:34Pretty incredible play for Mikael Bridges.
05:36Buick exceptional by design.
05:38See your local Buick dealer.
05:39The OG the beneficiary
05:42standing in the corner.
05:44So ball has run amok early on.
05:46The Knicks have talked it over.
05:47So they will bring it up.
05:50The other big thing about ball
05:51is that he's playing right now.
05:53He's played the last 46 games.
05:56That's the longest stretch
05:57of consecutive games he's played
05:58in his six years in the league.
06:00Bridges
06:01turned it over.
06:02It looked like it was last touched
06:03by Diavati.
06:04And Brunson trying to argue,
06:06but you know we're there.
06:07The Knicks are still stagnant, folks.
06:09You see, they're not moving
06:10and grooving right now.
06:12Conversely,
06:13these guys are loosey-goosey.
06:15Whenever ball has the ball,
06:16you never know what he's going to do.
06:18And they've improved defensively.
06:19They're 12th in defensive.
06:21Hart comes up with a steal.
06:23Hart rifles a pass to Bridges.
06:25Bridges goes inside.
06:26Layup is up.
06:27Can't get it to go.
06:27Well defended.
06:28Without fouling.
06:30Another dangerous pass.
06:31Hart deflects it.
06:32Goes right to ball.
06:33The ball.
06:34Can't get that one to go.
06:35Look at Hart going after it.
06:36Looks to save it.
06:37And last touch by ball.
06:39Josh Hart is hustle on display already.
06:41A ball of confusion right now.
06:44Both teams need to settle down.
06:47Helps is skillful style at play.
06:51So the Knicks will have it in the backcourt.
06:57That's a guard of our Bridges now.
06:58Ball picks him up on the switch.
07:00See, the Knicks are not moving.
07:01They're dribbling the ball.
07:02And this is why they're so stagnant, lethargic.
07:05And inept right now.
07:07Turning the ball over the last two possessions.
07:10They're starting a four-game road trip for the Knicks.
07:12They'll face Oklahoma City, Houston, and Memphis.
07:16Knicks.
07:16That's on bad communication.
07:18And Bridges were the dunk.
07:21Mike Brown's got to be beside himself on that.
07:25Rizzis has taken a back seat to this team now.
07:28So he's averaging 17 in the game, five pounds, but no longer the focus point.
07:33The other Bridges, Mikel, knocks down his first shot.
07:36Kale turned it over previously.
07:38They'll redeem it himself.
07:42Back door.
07:43Good job, Brunson.
07:44Takes it away.
07:47Josh Hart is on LaMelo Ball.
07:49Kicks it out.
07:49Brandon Miller, his three-pointer.
07:51That's no good.
07:52Rebound.
07:53Time to save by Miller, but couldn't quite hold on.
07:56Yeah, Miller averages three made threes per game.
07:59So he was open that time.
08:01He could not finish.
08:02And while tonight starts a four-game road trip for the Knicks, this is the fifth of the seven-game
08:06homestand for the Hornets.
08:08They started home.
08:09They were 7-12 at home at one point.
08:12Now they've won four in a row.
08:14And six of the last seven have the...
08:16Brunson gets inside.
08:18He wanted a foul.
08:19Brunson opened the game up, souping and hooping.
08:22And now coming up with another hoop.
08:24Had that great fourth quarter the other night of the Garden.
08:26Brandon Miller, catch, fire, connects.
08:30Miller, LaMelo Ball, and Greffle Blind.
08:32They all have such quick releases.
08:35Right.
08:35You mentioned Miller making those three threes the game.
08:42Brunson drives on Bridges, goes inside, stops the adjustment, and floater is good.
08:47Beautiful move from Jalen Brunson.
08:49Brunson wanted a foul as well.
08:50Bridges was found in him.
08:53Ball.
08:53Knipple again.
08:54Catch and fire away.
08:55There is no hesitation.
08:58Makes it difficult to defend when you want to get out to contest because they release it so quickly.
09:05And...
09:07They've got 20 points and we've only played five minutes.
09:12Towns backs in against the Abate.
09:14Turned, spins, comes up short.
09:17And here comes the ball.
09:18They've got to get on him.
09:19He's going to shoot again.
09:20Wide open.
09:21In and out.
09:22Fight for the rebound.
09:23Deflected out Knipple.
09:26Ball spins.
09:27Up and under, shots good with Melo Ball scorching the start.
09:32He's got 10 points and three assists already.
09:34Yeah, Jair reading, living stating that time.
09:37And the Knicks down by eight.
09:40Even with the seven-game winning streak, the Knicks have been inconsistent in that first quarter.
09:44Bridges short arms.
09:45It comes up.
09:47A little short, six feet away.
09:49Look at this guy to the roof.
09:51And that's terrible transition defense right now.
09:54The Hornets are playing at a different speed.
09:56Yeah, the Hart, the Matador D.
10:02Bridges to Brunson.
10:04Brunson and only Nick with the net.
10:06Steps back, three-corner, comes up short.
10:08And I'll be trying to get it.
10:09Knipple deflects it.
10:10Bridges has it.
10:21The Knicks have dominated them.
10:23The first two who gave the Knicks have won.
10:25They're looking for revenge tonight.
10:27Backdoor.
10:28Oh, nice catch by Bridges.
10:30That was nearly deflected by LaMelo Ball.
10:32Hart somehow found a way to get it through.
10:34And Bridges with his second field goal.
10:37He's got five points, but the Knicks are down eight.
10:39So, Bridges asserting himself early on.
10:43And 14 points to the last game.
10:46Coming up with this backdoor play off the glass.
10:52Down eight here in the first quarter in Charlotte.
10:54Junior Knicks summer basketball camp's registrations now open.
10:57Sign up your player.
10:59Roll with the game this summer.
11:00Campers enjoy access to elite Junior Knicks coaches.
11:03And some special guests explore the open sessions
11:06located throughout the Tristad area at Knicks.com.
11:09Slash camp.
11:10Looked like so far in the first six and a half minutes,
11:14the Knicks are a step slow.
11:16Yeah, because ball has been balling.
11:18Pace and space.
11:19The Knicks have not slowing these guys down.
11:21They're running and gunning, especially with the three ball.
11:24So, this place is loud, folks.
11:26A playoff atmosphere.
11:28The Knicks have to pick it up.
11:29Mitchell Robinson and Jordan Clarkson in.
11:32Clarkson guarding LaMelo Ball.
11:34Clarkson's been really working hard defensively.
11:37It's holding ball now getting away with it.
11:40He's getting over the screen.
11:43Clark gets knocked down.
11:44Brandon Milano kicks it inside.
11:46Clark Brenner with a nice move.
11:48It's a beautiful pass.
11:49And there's the other rookie,
11:51Clark run of the rookie from Creighton.
11:57See on James, a third rookie.
12:00A little, by the way, was holding his wrist.
12:03Brunson.
12:04There's James.
12:05James is an excellent defender.
12:06Rookie from Duke.
12:07Brunson gets inside.
12:08Another floater.
12:09Brunson eight points early on.
12:11Yeah, the maestro percolating early on,
12:14keeping the Knicks in the game.
12:19Brandon Miller.
12:22Offensive fouls.
12:23Mikel Bridges nodding his head.
12:27So Bridges has had an impact early on.
12:30Fancy passes.
12:32Good defense here as the Knicks bring it up.
12:35And Clyde, during that last timeout,
12:36they took the assist away.
12:38I don't agree with that.
12:40I thought he misdirected it,
12:41you know, intentionally directed it out to the corner.
12:46He's trying to double Brunson now.
12:50Brunson pulls back.
12:52Ball checks in.
12:53Shock clock at five.
12:54Lightspeed inside.
12:55Clarkson.
12:55Clarkson immediately off the bench with a bucket.
12:59Brunson average is six assists to beat the club.
13:01Doing a good job.
13:02That's a boy.
13:03Clarkson has planned some really good basketball lately.
13:07They've got to give this guy a step, though.
13:09You can't crowd him on the defense.
13:11Grant Williams now healthy again.
13:15Throws it out of bounds.
13:16Not a healthy pass.
13:17Turnover.
13:17That's the third for Charlotte.
13:20Grant Williams still, Mike, only 27 years of age.
13:23There's the young coach right there.
13:25His second year as the head coach,
13:27was 10 years in assistant,
13:29one with Boston, five with Milwaukee.
13:31He won a ring as an assistant
13:33with both the Bucs in 2021
13:34and the Celtics in 2024.
13:37Brunson stops, leans in up top.
13:39Clarkson sees the shot clock.
13:41But the Knicks have no ball movement.
13:42Everything's off the bounce.
13:45Clark's got to put it up.
13:46Just gets it off the top.
13:47And drills it.
13:49Clark coming very adept off the bounce.
13:52Especially in the mid-range.
13:53That's on the 15-footers.
13:55Knicks back within four.
13:56See, Clarkson's over-jealous, folks.
13:58He's playing hard, but not smart right now.
14:00Just want to keep ball in front of you.
14:02This is heart stopping and popping.
14:06Well, the Knicks defense is much improved.
14:08And a lot of the emphasis, Clyde,
14:10is on having physical defense without fouling.
14:14And the Knicks have done a pretty good job of that overall.
14:17You want to kind of force a little bit
14:19or dictate the other opponent.
14:22The fouling guy's 46 feet away from the basket.
14:25Especially guys that quick.
14:27Right.
14:27Yeah, that guy took the ball.
14:29Kobe White meanwhile checks in.
14:33White had 27 points at last game.
14:35Six threes.
14:37So he was acquired from the Bulls.
14:39And another offensive foul.
14:43Hawk runner.
14:45That's three straight turnovers,
14:46including two offensive fouls.
14:48So an eclectic group of players on the court now for both teams.
14:52Trying to find harmony now.
14:54Hawk runner amongst the leaders in blocks per game.
14:56So the Knicks have closed the gap after that tremendous start by the Hornets.
15:04Robinson's searching.
15:05Robinson's vindicator pulls up this one from the free throw line.
15:08Won't go Mitchell Robinson already.
15:10Ball deflected.
15:11Clarkson keeps it alive.
15:12Robinson cannot hold on.
15:15Robinson's hustle has been misericorded.
15:18And he's watching this every night.
15:21And he's in a great rhythm.
15:23Knicks have not had a back-to-back in a while.
15:25This is his eighth consecutive game.
15:27That's the most consecutive game that he's played.
15:30Pokes it in the backcourt.
15:31Close to it.
15:32We're going to put the pressure on Clark Brown.
15:36They call a foul on that.
15:40All the stuff that goes on on the perimeter.
15:43And they call a foul on that.
15:56So the players have to make the adjustment now.
15:58The pitchers have a quick whistle.
16:00Before it was on Clarkson.
16:02So the Knicks have to back off.
16:03Clyde, that was a foul.
16:04There's no question.
16:05That was a foul.
16:06But that kind of contact on the perimeter happens half the time in the frontcourt.
16:12Skopie White.
16:13Excellent score.
16:14The form of bold.
16:15Robinson right there.
16:16Blocks the shot.
16:18Nasty rejection by Robinson.
16:20And a 24-second violation.
16:23We mentioned White had 27 in the previous game.
16:26Six threes.
16:28Not tonight.
16:30Aloha.
16:33Robinson asserting himself against penetrators.
16:35That's our Volvo Protect the Pink brought to you by Volvo Cars.
16:41He has been spectacular on the defensive end this year.
16:48Now they're starting to call it a little tighter at both ends.
16:51You know, officials will do this.
16:52They'll see the game's a little physical, a little handsy.
16:55And it's starting to tighten it up.
16:56These kids, James, they've been raving about his defense, Mike.
16:59He's on Brunson.
17:03Talking with Curry's father.
17:05And those guys, he's a tremendous defensive player.
17:09There he is now, hounding Brunson.
17:11Coming to their first team foul.
17:13Brunson deflected.
17:14Knipple.
17:15Brunson gets it back.
17:16Knipple jumps on him.
17:17Brunson trying to get rid of it.
17:19Brunson might be out of bounds.
17:21The hell ball.
17:23So they'll jump in.
17:24Knicks will have five to shoot if they win the tip.
17:26Accent right in front of the Knick bench.
17:29So there's the good defense.
17:31Slow to get up in Brunson.
17:37Brunson carrying the team now.
17:38He has eight points.
17:39See, this is what I'm talking about.
17:40The Mitchell Robinson.
17:41Yes, he committed a foul.
17:42There are several fouls committed there.
17:45And it's, of course, if you're lying on the floor with the ball,
17:48all bets are off.
17:49You can dive on the guys.
17:56Brunson the back tip.
17:57And it opens.
17:58Oh, Diowara just checked in.
18:00Dips have to put it up.
18:01Brunson leans in and draws the foul.
18:05A little head fake.
18:07They went for it.
18:08And Brunson will get three free throws.
18:10That's the smart play.
18:14Clyde, how hard is it as a defender?
18:16How hard is it as a defender not to go for those fakes?
18:19Well, here, Mike, you have to know how much time is on the shot clock.
18:23See, if you look at it, you can look at the shot clock down at the other end
18:27and know not to do that.
18:29Don't leave your feet.
18:30So Brunson goes through.
18:32Clever, slick.
18:34Getting to the line.
18:35And this partisan crowd does not like it.
18:38I'll tell you what.
18:38James, I thought he went, as they say, from A to B.
18:42James actually did a pretty good job.
18:44He went up and didn't really go forward.
18:47Brunson's forward motion initiated the contact.
18:51Mix may have gotten a break on this one.
18:52See, with the shot clock above the basket, Mike,
18:55even though he's guarding Brunson,
18:57he can see how much time is on the shot clock.
18:59So you know not to leave your feet in that situation.
19:03If he makes that shot, just tell him a good shot.
19:06All right, let's see it again.
19:08See right here, he has to know what's how much time is on the shot clock.
19:11He did go a little forward.
19:13Watch here, because he tries to stop.
19:15But Brunson did go forward to initiate the contact.
19:18That's not an easy call.
19:19Yeah, the Cardinals and the defense leaving your feet.
19:23Especially when you're guarding a guy like Brunson.
19:27So the Knicks have weathered this storm.
19:29The way the Charlotte came out with the big three balls.
19:34So the Knicks are only down two.
19:37I'm not happy with the call.
19:39Brunson.
19:42Knocks down three straight.
19:44The Knicks fans and the Hornets fans,
19:46they've got quite the battle going on in the stands,
19:48trying to out cheer and out boo each other.
19:50Kniffle, nice feet inside.
20:00Knicks down by three, under two to play.
20:05First quarter with Charlotte, Brunson against Grant Williams,
20:08gets inside, throws it up.
20:10And hey, Jalen Brunson lighting it up early.
20:12He's got 13.
20:14Invincible, indefensible now is Brunson.
20:17He's second in the NBA in first quarter points per game.
20:20Only Luka Doncic scores more in the first.
20:22Kniffle throws it.
20:24Kniffle into the game the best, most three balls in the league.
20:29247.
20:29He's made two tonight.
20:32Diawara getting some early action.
20:33The drive.
20:34Left hand.
20:35Count it and a foul.
20:36Oh, Diawara banks at home.
20:38And you're hearing big cheers when both teams hit a basket.
20:42That's how many Knick fans there are.
20:44And the Hornet fans very fired up as well.
20:46And we knew we had a good game on our hands tonight.
20:49It would be an offensive extravaganza.
20:52And we're seeing that now with Brunson wheeling and dealing.
20:55All has been appalling.
20:57And now Diawara goes to the line for one as well.
21:00Miller back in.
21:01Grant Williams sits.
21:03Glad we've said this over and over about Mohamed Diawara.
21:07He's going to turn 21 in April.
21:10He's not phased or intimidated any time he steps on the floor.
21:15He's a very unflappable player.
21:18And the Knicks are very high on him.
21:20They like his defense, his offense.
21:23And like Mike said, he's a cool operator.
21:29Comes up short.
21:30And it'll be.
21:31Keeps it alive.
21:31Knicks get a second opportunity.
21:33Brunson throws it up.
21:35And Brunson's foul.
21:36That looked like that may have been a pass for Robinson.
21:40But he got hit.
21:41And more free throws for the Knicks with 121 left here on the first.
21:45So Diawara to rebound.
21:47Brunson.
21:50Usually Brunson has been a factor this time to beneficiary going to the line looking for two.
21:56Well, whether it was a pass or a shot, that's their 15 foul.
22:00Now, four of them in the last probably minute and a half.
22:04MVP chance for the nice group.
22:06And every time the Knicks fans chant MVP, the Hornet fans with the Bulls.
22:12Brunson now 14 points.
22:14He also has three assists.
22:17It's incredible how many Knicks jerseys are in this building.
22:20Yep.
22:21Brunson coming off that 32-point performance the previous game.
22:29Knicks are shooting 63%.
22:32The Hornets 67%.
22:36And after the Knicks fell behind by 10, they've come back to tie it up.
22:39So this is noteworthy towns on the fence.
22:43Knicks are thriving.
22:44So it's Bridges.
22:46Kobe White.
22:47Cross court.
22:48Brandon Miller gets a wide-open clean look.
22:51Miller's become such an excellent three-point shooter.
22:53Four, three.
22:54Four, three.
22:55Four, three.
22:56Four, three.
22:57He's got ten points.
22:58Miller's got ten points.
23:00Miller's their leading scorer.
23:01Average in 20 a game.
23:05Robinson hands off.
23:06Josh Green chasing him.
23:08Finds the O'Wara.
23:09Steps three.
23:10It's good.
23:10Oh, D'O'Wara.
23:11Off the bench.
23:12Five points in two minutes.
23:14Here comes White.
23:16So you gotta deny him.
23:17He's seeking.
23:20Kobe White.
23:21Robinson's got a piece of it.
23:22And they say a foul.
23:24It's going to be two fouls now on Mitchell Robinson.
23:26When did they acquire White?
23:28I think this is only like his 11th game.
23:31Yes, they got him.
23:32They got him at the trade deadline.
23:33And for White, this is his 13th game.
23:37He's had this past week three 20-plus-point games,
23:41including twice having 27.
23:43You mentioned the one he had the other night.
23:45Yeah, 27-16 came in at first half.
23:48So he's a native of North Carolina.
23:50Played conveniently at the university as well.
23:53So he's happy to be back here.
23:58O'Wara comes back in the game.
24:00So it was actually on February 4th.
24:03He came with Mike Conley.
24:04Conley had already been traded once.
24:06Colin Sexton.
24:09And they're saying Zhang also in that trade.
24:12He's a lot more coming.
24:13White averaging 17 in the game coming off the bench.
24:19Mass substitution is now by 15.
24:22Good job by Robinson against the penetrators.
24:24White right now, he's only playing 20 minutes a game,
24:27and he's averaging 16 minutes, 16 points in those 20 minutes.
24:30That's impressive.
24:33He's going at opening quarter.
24:36That's what you expected.
24:39Brunson drives, stops, leans in.
24:41Couple of fakes falling away.
24:43It's coming.
24:44Jalen Brunson lighting the Brunson burner in the opening period.
24:47He's got 17 points.
24:49Yep, infallible, indomitable now.
24:56Boxes, pressure on White.
24:585-second difference, shot clock aimbot.
25:017 on the 24.
25:02White wants to shoot it.
25:04White gets in the paint, drives all the way inside.
25:06Good move from Kobe White.
25:08Knicks have 8 seconds left here in the corner.
25:11The Abate going in Brunson.
25:13Brunson gets inside, kicks it out to the Awara.
25:15Corner three, can't get it to go.
25:17And a wild first 12 minutes comes to an end.
25:21The Hornets are shooting 70% from the field,
25:25yet they only lead by two because the Knicks are shooting 64%.
25:29And the grand do of Brunson with 17.
25:32Meanwhile, 10 for Ball, 10 for Miller,
25:35as the Hornets hit six threes.
25:37Two-point lead for Charlotte after one.
25:46Presented by Chase.
25:48Second quarter set to begin at Charlotte.
25:50Knicks down by two.

26:00And the Knicks fans here not needing the Gotham Sports app.
26:04They are out in force.
26:07And Brunson folks outscored hard, Bridges, the cat, and then an ugly by himself.
26:14So some other Knicks now has to step up.
26:17He had 17.
26:18The rest of the Knicks has 19.
26:22Here's Williams.
26:23Williams Ball, Bridges, Kobe White, and Diabate out there.
26:27Ball is back.
26:29Ball's got it.
26:29Shot clock winding down.
26:30This throws it up in the ring.
26:32Won't go.
26:32The rebound.
26:33Kobe White.
26:34Alvarado's in for the Knicks for the first time.
26:35White's 6-5.
26:37Alvarado's only a six-footer.
26:39Got it.
26:39Rock him out.
26:40Bridges using his offhand.
26:42Nice little hesitation move from Miles Brutton.
26:45But you mentioned it for a while.
26:46He was the guy.
26:47They needed to score big if they had any chance to win.
26:50And he's now like the third option.
26:52Yeah, remember he had troubles off the court?
26:54Sean Folley, but finally got his act together now.
26:58Clarkson gets inside.
26:59Layup can't get him.
27:00The tip is good.
27:01Nice second jump for Jordan Clarkson.
27:04Clarkson's defense continue to be good.
27:07Clarkson and Alvarado.
27:09Ball is 6'7", folks.
27:11You know, he's so loosey-goosey, you never think so.
27:15Effortless range.
27:16Long rebound.
27:17Clarkson carries out the Millers.
27:19Miller turns and shoots.
27:20Can't get back to go.
27:21Towns grabs it.
27:22Now Alvarado throws it ahead to Diawato.
27:25And the Knicks turn it over their fourth.
27:26Too much spin on that ball.
27:29You know, you got to give him a ball that he can handle.
27:31Good idea, but pass was a ride.
27:39The Knicks have settled down now.
27:41There's a rough start.
27:42They fell behind by 10 early.
27:45Both teams' offense dominating that first period.
27:47Miller ball picks it out in the corner.
27:50Colby White catches, fires, and hits.
27:52Look at this guy at 6'3 in the last game.
27:55That's his forte.
27:58They tied a franchise record.
28:01With 26 three-pointers.
28:03The attempt at 55.
28:08Towns lines up his shot.
28:11Towns gotta pick it up.
28:12Slow night so far.
28:15Bridges to White.
28:16The baseline is open.
28:19White spins.
28:20Ananobi stays right with him.
28:21Well-defended.
28:21Blacks a shot.
28:22Quick out.
28:23Let's the Clarkson.
28:24Yeah.
28:24Slendid D by OG.
28:27Up top.
28:28Ananobi.
28:29Ananobi drives.
28:30From the style by Colby White.
28:33At the top of the show,
28:35it features the 10-Nation League defense.
28:37OG, one of the guys.
28:38Bridges.
28:38Where's a good D by OG?
28:41He and Williamson going at it the previous game.
28:43White only 6'5.
28:45OG 6'7.
28:45Able to reject his shot.
28:48Ananobi had a defensive jam on Tuesday night against the Pelicans.
28:51Did he get the defensive player of the year from the coach?
28:54Defensive player of the game, yes.
28:55Yeah, yeah.
28:56From the game.
28:57He is by far the most on the team.
28:59Clarkson's ceiling down low, and he got fouled.
29:02That's a new thing that the Knicks have started doing,
29:05having a defensive player of the game.
29:07The coach selects him, gives him a hard hat.
29:10Only on Dickley.
29:13Just, which is smart.
29:16Clarkson doing a good job.
29:17Working hard.
29:18And there they are.
29:21Mr. Robinson right behind.
29:23Ananobi.
29:25Clarkson with three of them.
29:30Towns passes.
29:33And White caught napping.
29:35And he saw the ball, but didn't see his man.
29:37Little Clarkson going back to him.
29:44And Clyde, you talk about the mellow ball at 6'7.
29:48Brandon Miller is 6'9.
29:50Guys with that kind of range at that size,
29:52it's hard even to contest their shots on the perimeter.
29:54Ball misses.
29:56Good heads up play from Diabate.
29:58Throws it off of Ananobi.
29:59Took a shot in the face.
30:02Diabate.
30:03Only a second round draft charge.
30:05He's a Frenchman.
30:06We got like four Frenchmen.
30:08We have two on our team.
30:09They have two on their team.
30:11Mike, the French team.
30:13Mike, I think it's going to give us hell
30:14in the Olympics, man.
30:15Well, they...
30:16Everywhere we go there, a French player.
30:18They came pretty darn close
30:19in the most recent games.
30:23United States outlasting them.
30:25Steph Curry putting on that show in Paris.
30:27He's about to eat 6'10.
30:29Average at eight points, eight pounds.
30:31Passed inside the bridges.
30:33Bridges lost and got it back.
30:34Missed again.
30:35And a wedgie.
30:37Jumping up at center court.
30:38Said that about every 30 games,
30:40you get a wedgie.
30:42Bridges working diligently,
30:44but in vain.
30:45Let's take a look underneath.
30:48So Bridges 6'6.
30:51He's right there.
30:52There's Robinson on his case.
30:54Robinson got a piece of that second.
30:57Any two can jump at this point.
31:08This is why it's hard for the officials.
31:10That was a good toss.
31:11Miller would save him.
31:17Bridges finds a spot.
31:18Left open.
31:19Can't hit it.
31:20And got Hart to rebound.
31:21Trying to hold on.
31:23Hart looking.
31:24They converge on Hart.
31:26And another held ball.
31:27What not happened.
31:30Diyabate holding on to it.
31:33So we have another jump ball.
31:36Hart showing his soccer skills.
31:42Hart lost his balance.
31:44And they do a good job tying him up.
31:48That was the kind of play
31:49where Charlotte and Detroit
31:51had that incident
31:52where Isaiah Stewart
31:53came running off the bench.
31:54It was Diyabate.
31:55I believe it was Jalen Duren.
31:56They had a held ball.
31:58They started kind of pushing
31:59and shoving each other.
32:00And then Isaiah Stewart
32:01came running off the bench.
32:02That's where he got suspended
32:03seven games.
32:05This guy is 6'10".
32:07Hart 6'5".
32:08No match.
32:09Diyabate's really turned into
32:10an important player for that.
32:12He has 17 points in the last game.
32:15Diyabate's once again
32:16using his offhand.
32:17He's a natural lefty.
32:19And the Hornets
32:20up by four.
32:22Diyabate's penetrating
32:23creating now.
32:26Alvarado looking.
32:29Diyabate's done a good job
32:31with Mitchell Robinson
32:32not allowing the lob.
32:34Clarkson turns and shoots.
32:35Can't hit.
32:36Rebound ball.
32:38Paul loves to push.
32:40He's a very good
32:40rebounding guard.
32:42Diyabate's the start
32:42the fast freak itself.
32:43Bridges the still.
32:45And lays it up and in.
32:46Bridges nice job off the bench.
32:48Actually starting.
32:49And has eight points now
32:50in ten minutes.
32:51Diyabate's had some
32:52Olympic performances
32:53against the Knicks.
33:00Knicks needs somebody else
33:01besides Jalen Brunson
33:02to get going.
33:02Score-wise.
33:03Shot blocked!
33:04Diyabate
33:06rejects it out of bounds.
33:10Diyabate's six foot ten.
33:14Jose's six feet.
33:16No match.
33:18Diyabate's nine in that time.
33:20He'll sit down now.
33:21Mark Brenner back in.
33:23Jose Alvarado had something
33:24to say to Carl Anthony Towns.
33:26I think kind of urging him
33:27to either roll with that
33:29or get to a spot
33:31where he could lob it.
33:32Yeah, Towns only two points
33:33so far.
33:35Throws it back to Alvarado.
33:36Stumbles.
33:37And lost it out of bounds.
33:39That's not the place
33:40for him to be surrounded
33:41by Hornets
33:43or the Knicks in disarray.
33:48Knipple will bring it up.
33:52Knipple and Cooper Flagg
33:54the two favorites
33:55for Rookie of the Year.
33:56That's a tough choice
33:57between these two.
33:58Hawk Brenner.
34:00Back to ball.
34:02And Josh Hart
34:03is going to be called
34:04for a foul.
34:05Here's that line, Hawk.
34:061-3, Josh Hart.
34:08There's Tim Tile.
34:107-29 left here in the second.
34:12Kind of a lull in the action
34:13right now.
34:14I think both teams
34:16showing a little attrition
34:18because of the pace.
34:19Yeah, that was a heck
34:19of a pace in the first.
34:28This guy has his bridges.
34:30Once you get in the ball,
34:31he's been successful
34:32with the finish right now.
34:33There he goes again.
34:34Loves that spin move.
34:35Falling away.
34:35Shot is in and out.
34:37Mitchell Robinson
34:38the rebound.
34:38Robinson and Towns
34:39out there at the same time.
34:42Alvarado, Hart, and Bridges.
34:43The Knicks have had success
34:45with the two big men out there.
34:46Alvarado comes up short.
34:48Here comes Brandon Miller.
34:50They got numbers
34:51for a three-ball
34:52that they heard.
34:52Makes it a good job
34:53getting back.
34:54Can it pull though
34:54off the bounce.
34:56You're right, Mike.
34:56They took it away.
35:00Ball drives.
35:04Alvarado picks up the foul.
35:05Second team foul.
35:06He's going to come out.
35:06Brunson will check in.
35:07We're going to have our timeout.
35:10As we get under seven minutes
35:11to go here on the seventh.
35:14Hornets still shooting 56%.
35:16Knicks at 55%.
35:18A six-point Hornets lead.
35:23Knicks down six.
35:24Just over five minutes
35:25gone by.
35:26Second quarter
35:26here in Charlotte.
35:28Right now,
35:28Knicks getting most
35:29of their scoring
35:30from Jayla Brunson.
35:3117 points on six of nine
35:33from the field.
35:33It was dramatic.
35:35Empathic.
35:36The captain.
35:37This is how we
35:38opened the game.
35:39And then it continued.
35:41They had no answer
35:42for him.
35:43Infantible.
35:44Indemitable.
35:45Incredible.
35:46Was Brunson
35:47in the first quarter
35:48with the 17 points.
35:50And everyone was needed.
35:52No other Knicks
35:52stepped up.
35:53Towns was silent.
35:54Bridges.
35:55OG.
35:55Hart.
35:56Brunson carried the lose.
35:58Now, let's take a look
35:59at the Chipotle
36:00real difference maker.
36:02This is Jayla Brunson
36:03fourth year.
36:04Finishing his fourth year
36:05with the Knicks.
36:06As he has the number
36:08so far for tonight.
36:09Also the four assists.
36:11Of course, his first
36:11four years with Dallas.
36:12So he has played
36:13the same amount of games
36:15for the team that he began
36:16his NBA career with
36:17as a second rounder.
36:19And now with the Knicks,
36:20obviously, a little
36:20different role
36:22since he came here.
36:23You know, Clyde,
36:23he showed some great
36:24promise when he was
36:26in Dallas.
36:27But obviously,
36:28with the Dodgers there,
36:29Dodgers was always
36:30going to do most
36:31of the shooting.
36:32He showed it
36:33when Dodgers missed
36:33some games,
36:34including some playoff games.
36:36Once another 40-point
36:37playoff game
36:37once when Dodgers was out.
36:39And now that he's got
36:40his team,
36:40he's become one
36:41of the elite scorers
36:42in the league.
36:42Plus, they were
36:43impruded, Mike.
36:44They were two.
36:45They didn't want
36:46to pay him.
36:47They could have gotten
36:47runs in the cheap
36:48for 50 million.
36:50They didn't want
36:50to pay the guy.
36:51And then he did
36:53what he did
36:54and we were
36:54the beneficiary.
36:55One of the great
36:56signings.
36:57Five-second count.
36:58Excellent denial.
37:01Beautiful job
37:01from Mikel Bridges.
37:03As good a free agent
37:04signing as the Knicks
37:05have ever had.
37:06Oh, yeah.
37:07Captain in the MVP
37:08conversation.
37:11Seon James
37:12backing the guard,
37:13Brunson.
37:13James was the
37:14Naismith Defensive
37:15Player of the Year
37:16last year, too.
37:18Good physical defender,
37:20but Brunson had his
37:20way against him
37:21in the first quarter.
37:23Brunson fired
37:24from the corner.
37:24That won't go.
37:25Mitchell Robinson
37:25keeps it alive.
37:27Good job from James
37:28to deflect it away.
37:30Knicks have done
37:30a good job
37:31in transition.
37:32And an OB
37:33the reaching
37:34and a foul.
37:35You know,
37:36Ball is the reigning
37:37Eastern Conference
37:38Player of the Week
37:40because of his
37:41exploits
37:42and propelling his team.
37:46He was off
37:46to an auspicious
37:47start to start
37:48the game.
37:49Reigning and painting
37:50him with the three ball.
37:51He's ninth in the league
37:52in assists per game,

37:54Leveraging just under 20.
37:56He's third in the league
37:57in three-point field goals
37:58made.
37:59A couple of guys
37:59that were at the top.
38:00Obviously,
38:01Steph Curry's been out
38:02so long,
38:02so many have passed him.
38:05Nick Deep is very good
38:07now.
38:07Good old sneakers
38:08squealing.
38:10Brunson looking to help.
38:12Barn in pursuit.
38:13Ball falls down,
38:14gets it back,
38:14flips it up.
38:15What a shot
38:16from Romero Ball.
38:16He was off-balanced
38:18the entire possession
38:19when he put it on the floor
38:20and still able to get it
38:22to go.
38:23Charismatic,
38:25acrobatic,
38:25ball.
38:27Alley-oop to Robinson.
38:28Beautiful pass
38:29from Brunson
38:30for his fifth assist.
38:32Captain always head up,
38:33eyes wide open.
38:35Robinson,
38:35the recipient.
38:37Ball looking to take over
38:39now.
38:41Bridges drives on
38:42and Ovi comes up short.
38:44Robinson hands off
38:44the Bridges.
38:45Good job by OG,
38:47not fouling Bridges.
38:51Bridges back up top
38:52and an Ovi.
38:53Quick three-pointer.
38:54Got it.
38:55OG and an Ovi
38:56with his second three.
38:58Bridges has been
38:58looking for OG.
39:00He was found
39:01in the right corner
39:01this time
39:02the left elbow
39:02with the three-ball.
39:05Alonzo ball,
39:0612 points,
39:07four assists so far.
39:08And the Knicks
39:08doing a good job
39:09keeping these guys
39:10in the half court now.
39:11Not allowing them
39:11to run and gun.
39:13As Bridges throws it up
39:14and in.
39:15Toasting and toasting
39:17Brunson.
39:17If Alonzo ball
39:18has 12 points
39:19and four assists,
39:19he's doing it
39:20in some other NBA arena
39:21because Romello's
39:22the one playing
39:23here for Charlotte
39:25as Brunson goes inside.
39:27Back up top,
39:28bad pass.
39:29Hard able to get it back.
39:31And because the ball
39:32was deflected,
39:33he could go
39:33in the backcourt.
39:34Hart, lay a bank shot.
39:35Can't get it.
39:36Corcoran a well
39:37defend at that time.
39:39Hart's attempt.
39:41Oh, hell-bent.
39:43Gung-ho right now
39:45in his element
39:46creating havoc.
39:47Ball kicks it out.
39:48Bridges back up top.
39:50Sion James
39:50can't get it to go.
39:52Robinson knocks it
39:53off the backcourt.
39:54Here comes the Knicks.
39:55You can see guys
39:56huffing and puffing
39:57out there, folks.
39:58This pays
39:59when I shoot
39:59in free throws.
40:00Another out of the earth
40:01and another stuff
40:02from Mitchell.
40:03Robinson threat
40:04connection

40:11he's allowed
40:12Robinson
40:12to get the alley-oop.
40:14Six assists already
40:15for Jalen Brunson.
40:17Right at his
40:17season's efforts.
40:20The hot shooting
40:21continues.
40:22Knicks at 56%
40:23but they trail.
40:24Backcourt will go
40:25for James
40:26and an Obie
40:27right there.
40:30Back up top
40:31and an Obie

40:33Left open
40:33momentarily.
40:34Knocks down the toe.
40:36And it's back
40:37within one.
40:38O.G. erupted
40:39in the nick of time
40:40now.
40:40Phoebus did a three-ball.
40:42Oh, the ball
40:43comes it up.
40:44Oh, then Bridges
40:44looks like he got hit.
40:45Ball kicks it out.
40:46Bridges,
40:47he's left open
40:48in the corner.
40:48That's no good.
40:50Kniffle grabs the rebound.
40:51He's a good rebounder.
40:53Kniffle has been silenced.
40:55At eight early points.
40:56Yeah, Hart doing
40:57a good job on him.
40:58Bridges backs in.
40:59Right-handed.
41:00Count it and one.
41:02Explain to me, Mike,
41:03how Brunson

41:05trapped on Bridges.
41:06This is second
41:07consecutive time

41:11What are they doing
41:12with that mismatch?
41:13Jarlett trying to get
41:14that mismatch
41:15with their ball movement.
41:16Right, they get it
41:17and look at the mismatch.
41:18Brunson
41:196-2, Bridges 6-6.
41:22Ambidextrous.
41:23He's tantalizing
41:25the Knicks now
41:25in the paint.
41:26Bridges is their
41:27leading scorer
41:28with 12
41:28tied with
41:29LaMelo Ball.
41:31Yeah, he's averaging
41:3117-5
41:32on this season.
41:34A man out of
41:35Michigan State.
41:41Knicks trail by four.
41:43Missed under
41:43three and a half
41:44remaining.
41:45There's a possibility
41:45these two teams
41:46could meet in the
41:47first round of the
41:48playoffs.
41:48What a first round
41:49matchup that would be.
41:50The Knicks had to leave.
41:52Brunson scored the first
41:53basket of the game.
41:54Since that time
41:55the Knicks have been
41:56thrilled.
41:58Jan Anobi.
41:59Looking for some space.
42:00Uh-huh.

42:15nails another three.
42:16His third.
42:17And the Knicks down
42:18seven again.
42:18Kniffle the beneficiary
42:20of his good defense.
42:21He was the guy who
42:22forced the turnover.
42:29Bridges drives on
42:30Bridges.
42:31McHale against Miles.
42:32Pull-up jumper.
