00:00The offensive rebound percentage for Houston,
00:04now that's the percentage of available offensive rebounds
00:06that they actually get is 40%.
00:10That's high.
00:11It's high, man.
00:12And the thing is, though, you know me, partner,
00:14I've said this now here the last couple of weeks.
00:17I'm not concerning myself with defensive rebounds
00:19with this Grizzlies basketball team.
00:21Fight as hard as you can fight,
00:22but at the end of the day,
00:24they are massively undersized in that category.
00:27The one thing they would like to do a better job of
00:29is the rebounds that are long rebounds.
00:31Do a better job of tracking down those long rebounds.
00:35But the other ones,
00:36when you fight with these bigs on the interior,
00:38they shouldn't get those defensive rebounds.
00:41The problem, I'm sure,
00:42from the Grizzlies coaching staff's perspective,
00:44Reed Shepard has three offensive rebounds.
00:46Those are the long ones that I'm talking about.
00:47Those are the ones that you become a little frustrated with.
00:50But you also remember is,
00:51why can he get it?
00:52Because the smalls have to go in and help the bigs box out
00:55in order to get the basketball.
00:57So there are cause and effect
01:00to everything that happens in the basketball game.
01:02And it's a chain reaction.
01:04Shen Goon with a hook for two.
01:06You're small.
01:07They're big.
01:07They have an advantage.
01:08What do you have to do?
01:09We've got to put extra people to try to keep them off.
01:11What does that mean?
01:12Somebody's going to have the opportunity to get it,
01:14get reset for credit for going and getting them.
01:17Coward against Durant.
01:19Doubles.
01:19Prosper.
01:20A three.
01:21Bango.
01:22Since Grizzlies get hot again from that three-point line,
01:25did a great job in the first quarter shooting threes
01:28where they were able to knock down five of 13.
01:35Durant averaging 22 in the two prior games
01:38against the Grizzlies this season.
01:39Here's a Shepard three.
01:41And that's good.
01:42For Reed Shepard, his third of the game.
01:45Shepard averaging 13 and a half per game.
01:48He's got 13 off his third three-point make of the game.
01:52They asked him to do one thing.
01:53I was going to hustle, play hard,
01:54and when shots are available, take shots.
01:59Cedric, fourth three.
02:00Cedric Coward, his mom was here for the San Antonio game.
02:05She's here again tonight.
02:07And Ced drops in his first triple of the game.
02:09He's got eight.
02:10Cedric is going to get back to first quarter.
02:12Five threes in the first quarter for the Grizzlies.
02:15Only one in the second.
02:18Durant backing down against Prosper.
02:20Rises, fires, fills it up.
02:24I know Rob mentioned this in the pregame show.
02:26I think it's appropriate to revisit it.
02:28You've got two Seattle Supersonics on this Houston team.
02:35Mal called on Reed Shepard.
02:36You've got Uncle Jeff Green, one of our all-time favorites,
02:40and Kevin Durant.
02:41Those guys both played for the Seattle Supersonics back in the day.
02:46Coward knocked that down.
02:47There's my old buddy, Uncle Jeff Green.
02:49I miss our talks in the quarter game.
02:53Here's Prosper, another three.
02:55He got the roll.
02:57Three threes here.
02:58And within two minutes for the Grizzlies,
03:01that's how they are keeping themselves in touch.
03:05Within five after trailing by nine.
03:07Prosper with 11.
03:09Three for three from three.
03:11And his improved outside shooting has been a major reason why
03:14he's getting all these minutes.
03:17Jabari Smith misses the three.
03:20Jackson the rebound.
03:22I like about that.
03:22Omax ready for the spin.
03:23Nice pass.
03:24And he drives.
03:25Yes!
03:26Oh, Olivier Macs has Prosper.
03:29Well, the Grizzlies score in transition.
03:31That's how they have to play and get hot from three.
03:34Well, it was great defense first by Omax.
03:36That's what started.
03:37And then he immediately took off on the sprint.
03:41Once the rebound was captured by the Grizzlies,
03:44and he is quicker than Shangoon, shows it there.
03:48Prosper with eight quick ones here in the third.
03:51Fouls Shangoon, his first.
03:54There's those instances where you talk about the Rockets struggle
03:58versus sub-500 teams.
04:00Can they lock in in this second half to be able to get the win?
04:04Or will they continue to give this Grizzlies team opportunities to hang around?
04:09They've lost to Chicago and gave up 132 in that game.
04:16Grizzlies hanging around there within two.
04:18And Omax has been sensational here in the second half.
04:25The longer you can stay with Houston.
04:27Kick ball.
04:27Shot clock will go back to 14.
04:29The longer that you can keep Houston within striking distance,
04:35the more they're going to start thinking about losing that 13-point lead
04:38in Minnesota the other night.
04:41And that's all you want to do for the Grizzlies.
04:42You just want to – can you get into their head?
04:44Can you give yourself an opportunity to win?
04:46Because at the end of the day, the pressure all goes back on the shoulders
04:52of the Rockets to have to pull it out.
04:54Yeah, the Rockets are trying to move up in the Western standings.
05:08It's been a light night for the Whistles tonight.
05:13They've looked these teams play.
05:16Well, you like that.
05:18You enjoy when officials allow the players to decide the basketball game.
05:23And on both sides, both teams playing hard within the rules.
05:30Smith, good – oh, no good with that one.
05:33Let's take a look at the Western Conference standings.
05:35Houston at six right now, a game and a half behind Minnesota.
05:38And as I said, they've got one more head-to-head matchup coming up.
05:42They're two games behind Denver.
05:49And they're three and a half clear of Phoenix.
05:52I think for them, it is just finding playing well.
05:55Yes.
05:56If they can find playing well and consistently,
05:59I think they will be happy with that going into the playoffs,
06:02whatever the matchups may be.
06:04But having lost four of six, there's a question mark.
06:07Gigi scooping, missing, got his own miss back.
06:12And deflected out.
06:14Stay with the Grizzlies, but just 3.7 on the 24.
06:18Jabari Smith there.
06:19Gigi thought he was going to have the opportunity to rebound putback,
06:22but Smith was there to deny him.
06:29And Hendricks got clobbered.
06:32Shangoon took a shot to the abdomen.
06:38Foul is on Shangoon.
06:39That's two on him.
06:41Third team foul on Houston at the border.
06:43I like that realization about Hendricks.
06:45That's the last screen.
06:46And when he goes and sets the screen,
06:48he can already tell that Kevin Durant,
06:50who was defending him,
06:51was going to jump out early
06:52to try to deny Javon Small
06:54so he does the right thing.
06:56Immediately cuts to the basket.
06:58Good find by Ole Max.
07:00The reason why he gets two at the line.
07:02Hendricks good with a first.
07:04Taylor just 67% from the strike.
07:08Making his seventh start for the Grizzlies.
07:17Look at Durant.
07:18Just amazing.
07:1937 years of age
07:21and still productive
07:23and Tomas Isolo saying
07:24basically he can be a secondary rim protector.
07:27That's what he did.
07:28He started that when he was in Golden State.
07:31We're doing a good job.
07:32It's Thompson here.
07:34Downhill doesn't finish.
07:35Hendricks the rebound.
07:37And you look out on the floor.
07:38This is the future of Jersey's wings.
07:40You would think in some way.
07:41Nice.
07:42Roll back here by small.
07:44Omax, Hendricks,
07:46Gigi,
07:47and Cedric Coward on the floor.
07:50Gigi tries to make the move.
07:51He doesn't get it there.
07:54Durant able to save.
07:57So you start to talk about the future.
07:59Good job here by small.
08:00Oh, should be a foul.
08:08Hopefully he's okay.
08:09A little elbow to the head there.
08:18I hope that he can be a little closer to the play
08:21and the whistle can blow
08:21when you're standing right there.
08:23Happy that the whistle was involved.
08:25Oh, boy.
08:25Yeah.
08:26Elbow right to the side of the head.
08:27Yeah.
08:28C.J. Washington was standing right there.
08:29Did not make the call.
08:30John Goble was back near midcourt
08:32and he did make the call.
08:39I think he might visit blood.
08:41Yeah, I think he's bleeding,
08:43so we'll have to take him.
08:43I'll tell you this,
08:43but that's Javon Small.
08:45This is his toughness.
08:47He's such a kind.
08:48Why are you telling me?
08:49Why are you telling the teacher, man?
08:50I did that.
08:55Javon Small.
08:55Well, we've talked about
08:57since the All-Star break,
08:58the Grizzlies are getting
08:58the highest percentage of points
09:00from their second-round picks.
09:02Well, Javon Small's a big reason
09:03for that,
09:04the 48th overall pick
09:05out of West Virginia.
09:07I think for him,
09:08the one thing you just wanted
09:09to just be something
09:10they maybe can dab
09:11just being a cut
09:12because what Javon Small
09:13wants to do,
09:14he wants to keep playing.
09:15Yeah.
09:15I told you,
09:16like, this is an opportunity
09:17and when you get this opportunity,
09:19you never know
09:19when it's going to come.
09:20He didn't know
09:21it was going to be this year
09:22at this level
09:22that he was going to have
09:23a chance to play
09:24for this Grizzlies team
09:25and so when you have this chance,
09:27you don't want anything.
09:28No.
09:28Let me shake this off one second.
09:30Everybody take your time.
09:31I'm okay.
09:31I'm all right,
09:32but I want to continue
09:33to be a part of this game.
09:35Yeah.
09:35And he was a scorer
09:36his last season
09:38at West Virginia
09:38as a senior,
09:3918 and a half points
09:41per game.
09:42We've seen that here
09:43this year.
09:43You've seen it.
09:44I almost call him,
09:45he's not a typical point guard.
09:47No.
09:47He's almost a scoring point guard
09:49and that's his mentality
09:51which is,
09:52we talked about this
09:52at length at times.
09:54I said,
09:55when smaller guards,
09:56people start to tell
09:57smaller guards,
09:58if you want to be good
09:59in this game,
09:59you've got to score.
10:00You can't just be
10:01as I was,
10:02a set-up guy,
10:03make big,
10:03bring shots,
10:04make free steals.
10:05No,
10:05you've got to be able to score.
10:06And what they told
10:076-6 guys were,
10:08you can't score,
10:09be a point guard
10:10which just means
10:10that you can look over the top,
10:12make plays,
10:13and make people better.
10:13That's why you watch the game now,
10:15you see so many small guys
10:16that have scored,
10:17and you see so many taller guys
10:19that you would think
10:19would be your scores
10:21or winning.
10:21Those are the guys
10:22that are now running
10:23the point position.
10:23Now Javon's done
10:25everything tonight.
10:2612 and 5 feeds
10:27plus his steal.
10:28Durant steps out for 3
10:31and a foul as well.
10:34So Durant will get 3.
10:38Foul on Tyler Burton.
10:41So Durant gets 3 at the line.
10:43We use an 88-for-center.
10:47Durant in the prior 2 games
10:49was 7 of 15 for 3
10:50and averaging 35 a game.
10:53He had 40 against Chicago,
10:5630 against Minnesota.
11:01Oh my.
11:04The thing about this
11:05for Kevin Durant,
11:06partner,
11:06as great as he is,
11:08he's always played
11:10with some type of point guard.
11:13You go like Oklahoma City,
11:15he had Russell Westbrook.
11:17Right.
11:17You go to Brooklyn,
11:18he had James Harden.
11:21You go,
11:22you talk about that,
11:23you go to when he was
11:24in Golden State.
11:26Curry.
11:26You said Steph Curry,
11:27but you had Draymond Green,
11:28who was really
11:29the point guard there too.
11:30Now he comes to Houston,
11:31you don't have one
11:32because Van Vliet is not here.
11:34The shots that he is getting
11:35and where and how he gets them
11:36are different
11:37without having one of those guys.
11:39And so it's making him
11:40work that much harder
11:41to be able to get
11:42to those positions
11:43where you can be the guy
11:45to get those shots.
11:46But he is so great,
11:47partner,
11:47that it won't affect
11:48the way that he scores
11:50for the Houston Rockets.
11:52Yeah.
11:52The other thing about Van Vliet,
11:53championship experience.
11:55Yes.
11:55With Toronto.
11:56Yes.
11:58Cam Spencer into the game
11:59along with Diki Giroux.
12:03Four-point Houston lead.
12:05Javon Little.
12:06Nice ball.
12:06And now to the rim for two.
12:07How about the ball fake?
12:09The mentality that he had.
12:11Drive.
12:12The ball fake.
12:13Freezes Shingun.
12:14Nice left-hand finish.
12:19And again,
12:20the Grizzlies
12:21making the Rockets
12:22think about this
12:23two-game losing streak
12:24and losing four and six.
12:26Javari Smith
12:27stripped.
12:29But,
12:29Ahmed Thompson
12:30gets it back.
12:31Misses the tap.
12:32Smith,
12:33he misses.
12:34And Houston
12:35gets bailed out
12:36by a foul.
12:39They call it Hendricks.
12:43He's looking for the replay
12:45on the big board.
12:47And on the big board
12:48you can see Hendricks
12:49just grab.
12:50You'll see
12:51coming in
12:52right here.
12:53Right here.
12:54Hits that left arm.
12:56So,
12:57Jabari Smith
12:57already 11 rebounds
12:59for him.
13:01Smith,
13:0113 double-doubles
13:02on the season
13:03and the free throw here
13:05would make it 14 on the year.
13:09Uh-oh.
13:10So,
13:11it might get loud.
13:12It's gonna get loud.
13:14I think it'll start
13:15right
13:17about
13:18now.
13:26It's all about
13:27the free food.
13:29The free food.
13:31You start to just get
13:33the ball lost.
13:34And I think
13:34maybe this is our chance
13:35and it's always
13:36the players squish
13:38the second.
13:39Yeah.
13:42small against Shepard.
13:46Javon slams
13:46on the brakes
13:47Burton
13:47with a finger roll
13:48but off the back iron.
13:54Durant surrounded.
13:59And Giroux
14:00was holding
14:01Shengun.
14:01It's a good foul
14:03by Giroux
14:04because he was
14:04in a bad way
14:05on the post.
14:06Fourth team foul
14:07on the Grizzlies
14:08here in the third.
14:10Three-point game.

15:14and a foul
15:15on Deke Giroux.
15:19Grizzlies over
15:20the limit.
15:23This is a game
15:24where the Grizzlies
15:25is out shooting
15:26Houston, but Houston
15:28this will be
15:29free throws 15 and 16.
15:30The Grizzlies have had
15:31six all night.
15:35But a lot of those
15:36cards seem like they
15:37have just come in
15:38bunches.
15:42Durant makes the first
15:43so no drama
15:44on the second
15:45as far as those
15:46who's hoping for
15:47some free
15:48Chick-fil-A.
15:50The Rockets
15:51want an end shot.
15:52This will be their
15:5313th free throw
15:54shot here in
15:55Corbin.
16:03Durant now
16:03six of seven
16:04from the line.
16:06Six of his
16:0714 coming
16:08from the stripe.
16:09Five point.
16:10Houston lead.
16:15Clayton driving
16:15and he got fouled
16:17and Walter
16:17will go to the
16:18line for two.
16:19He's two for
16:20two tonight.
16:22Foul
16:22on the third.
16:23This is where
16:23the game.
16:24Game get a little
16:25choppy.
16:25The Grizzlies
16:26with mine
16:26is them shooting
16:28free throws
16:28but they don't
16:29want this to just
16:30be a half court
16:31for a half court
16:33possession game.
16:34Both teams are
16:35now over the
16:36limit so we
16:36could have a
16:39slower game
16:39here with
16:40free throws.
16:43Walter 89%
16:45from the line
16:45on the season.
16:48Just get that
16:49one.

16:57human sense.
17:01Clayton averaging
17:02seven and a half
17:03a game.
17:03Ten against
17:04San Antonio
17:04and that free throw
17:05gives him three
17:06tonight.
17:06All of his points
17:07coming from the
17:08line.
17:090 for three
17:10from the floor.
17:1069-65 to count.

17:27DT Giroux

17:30That would have been
17:31a highlight.
17:35Capella wide open
17:36and missed it.
17:38Tari Eason
17:39three off the iron.
17:41Capella taps the rebound.
17:42Walter Clayton
17:43doing a good job
17:44knocking it away from
17:45Capella
17:45so the Grizzlies

17:47with 5.50 remaining
17:49in the third.
17:56Jerome misses the three.
18:00Deke was two of

18:05He's open to tonight.
18:08Durant against
18:08Prosper.
18:09Takes him in the paint.
18:11Max down.
18:12You see
18:13you never
18:13nobody will ever say
18:14that Kevin Durant
18:16overwhelmed him
18:17with his physicality.
18:18But what he does is
18:19he is physical
18:20to create the space
18:22to be able to get on
18:23shot.
18:23Just a little bit of a shot
18:24to Olmach with the
18:25shoulder.
18:26Gave him the room
18:27to be able to get
18:27that little righty
18:28floater.
18:29Spencer
18:31Burton
18:31with a ball fake.
18:33Midrange jumpers down.
18:34The other thing
18:35with Durant
18:36his release point
18:38on his jump shot
18:38is so high
18:40he doesn't need
18:41a whole lot
18:42of elevation
18:42to get it away
18:44clearly.
18:46He just needs
18:46a breath
18:47a breath
18:48of fresh air.
18:49Tari Eason
18:50off the set
18:51of the news.
19:00Jerome drives

19:27It did look like it.
19:28Walt McLean Jr.
19:29is trying to get
19:30a jump ball.
19:32It ends up

20:14I'm going to have to.
20:18Rob Fisher,
20:19what do you got for us?
20:20Well, Coach Isolo
20:20just telling the team
20:21to continue to stay active
20:22defensively.
20:23Likes their activity
20:24on that side of the ball.
20:25He said,
20:25we just got to continue
20:26to battle on the boards
20:27and try to limit them
20:28to one shot.
20:29Now, the Rockets have
20:2913 offensive rebounds
20:31in this game,
20:31but they only have
20:32eight second chance points.
20:34There's three of 12
20:35on second chance opportunities
20:37and that's kept
20:37the Grizzlies in this game.
20:39And Omax with a drive
20:40to the rim
20:41and got sent to the floor
20:42and there was no air
20:44in the whistle
20:44and the Grizzlies
20:45is not too happy about that.
20:48Prosper with 16.
20:49Big third quarter from him
20:51and Easton quarter three
20:52is in.
20:53I mean,
20:54yeah,
20:54this is already Easton.
20:56The thing you talked about,
20:58he got him to a hot start
20:59from the three-point line.
21:00It's cooled off,
21:00but that's the one area
21:02in that corner
21:02who loves to get
21:03the corner three.
21:04His first make
21:05and five tries,
21:05Clayton on a step
21:06through a scoop
21:07and score.
21:07Walter Clayton, Jr.
21:08creating off the bounce
21:09for his first field goal
21:10of the night.
21:11Thompson went down
21:12and an inadvertent hit
21:14with Omax on that rebound
21:16there.
21:20While Prosper
21:21an 11-point third quarter.
21:26Shepard drives
21:27against Spencer
21:28and a turnaround jumper
21:30is good.
21:30Three Shepard,
21:31you need for Shepard.
21:35It's very well to play
21:36and get great
21:37with Capello on it.
21:38And Ahmed Thompson
21:40and Prosper
21:40come together
21:41and Ahmed Thompson
21:42not happy with John Goble
21:43who did put air
21:44in the windshield.
21:45This is where the Grizzlies
21:47were like,
21:48Tari Eason
21:48clearly commits a foul.
21:50That's Clint Capella,
21:51though, partner.
21:51It's Clint Capella
21:52the left arm.
21:53Remember,
21:54Durant got the foul
21:55early on
21:56with Jabari Smith
21:58got the foul.
21:59Mattela Hendricks
22:00hit on the left arm
22:01when he went up
22:01for the shot.
22:02That's the same grab
22:03of the right arm
22:04there
22:04as Omax
22:05goes to the basket.
22:07So off the Thompson
22:08foul,
22:09both teams over the limit
22:10and Omax
22:13really good night
22:14from him.
22:15Two assists,
22:16two steals,
22:1717 points,
22:18four rebounds.
22:21Six of eight
22:22from the floor.
22:25It's all around
22:28great addition
22:29for this Grizzlies
22:30basketball team
22:31and going forward
22:32will allow them
22:34to have versatility
22:35in their lineups.
22:38Gigi,
22:39Hendricks,
22:40Cedric,
22:40Kyle,
22:41talked about that
22:41earlier.
22:42Yeah,
22:42the wing group
22:43is really strong.
22:44The wing group
22:44is as athletic
22:47as the other teams
22:48that we play against
22:49have on their team.
22:51Durant
22:52and Ahmed Thompson
22:54with the flush.
22:57Houston has equals
22:58its largest lead
23:00of the night
23:00and Durant
23:01with nine assists.
23:02He's averaging
23:03four and a half
23:05for the season.
23:07Durant does have
23:09six double-doubles.
23:11Extra attention
23:12to Payton
23:13and he's done a good job
23:14with his final teammate.
23:15Spencer for three.
23:16Banco!
23:17And Spencer,
23:19second triple
23:19of the game
23:20for Cam.
23:21So he's up
23:22to eight points
23:22to eight points
23:23now with six assists.
23:25And Rizzleys continue
23:27to hang around
23:27as we approach
23:28two minutes remaining
23:29in the third quarter.
23:36Durant isolated
23:37against Crossford
23:38and knocks down
23:39the three.
23:40First three-point make
23:41for Durant tonight.
23:46Gigi attacking,
23:48hanging,
23:49but missed the bank.
23:54Aaron Holiday
23:55into the game.
23:57Shepard goes out.
23:59Bishop Barney's
24:00busy players
24:01are going to be
24:01with the lack
24:03of wisdom
24:03as they go
24:04to the basket.
24:07and Thompson
24:08with the dunk.
24:15And Houston now
24:16its largest lead
24:17of the game.
24:18This is going to finish
24:20out this third quarter.
24:21Well,
24:21they did a good job
24:22to stay in touch.
24:24And the foul
24:24there was Shangun.
24:25Shangun picks up
24:26his third
24:27for Durant.
24:29It's his seventh
24:30double-double
24:30of the season.
24:32Thompson goes underneath.
24:34I like that
24:34Cam's finish.
24:35and no hesitation
24:36as he goes under
24:37to make them pay.
24:40So Taj Gibson
24:42as Houston
24:43is over the limit.
24:44Taj one of two
24:44from the stripe
24:46appearing in his
24:47seventh game
24:47since signing on
24:48with the Grizzlies.
24:52I think Taj
24:53has been great
24:54and it's not
24:55the minutes
24:56on the floor.
24:57Pay attention.
24:58They came out
24:59to shoot
24:59after the half.
25:01He was on the floor
25:02working with
25:03Cam Spencer
25:04with dribble
25:05handoffs.
25:05He dribbled
25:06the ball to him,
25:07handed off Cam,
25:08came off
25:08to the inside,
25:09pull-up jump shot.
25:10He came off,
25:11stepped back three.
25:12And when he didn't
25:13make it,
25:14Taj was like,
25:15look,
25:15run it again.
25:16And they did it
25:17a number of times
25:18during the half.
25:19And those are just
25:19the little things
25:20that veteran guys
25:22bring to basketball
25:23teams.
25:24He's not so concerned
25:25with what's going to
25:25happen with him.
25:26But he's concerned
25:27with what can happen
25:28to the guys
25:29that will continue
25:30to be here
25:30that's going to
25:31help this team
25:32become a good team
25:33but also help them
25:34become good pros
25:35in this league.
25:37Right.
25:37Sengun is fouled
25:38by Gibson.
25:41There's Zach Eady
25:42who got an arm
25:43and a sling.
25:44Had a procedure
25:46on his elbow
25:47to address
25:48some lingering
25:48discomfort
25:49from a previous injury.
25:51We talked about it
25:53before the game.
25:53Grizzlies 446 games
25:56lost due to injury
25:58far and away
25:59the most.
26:03The unfortunate part
26:04is it is
26:04becoming a regular
26:06with this Grizzlies
26:07team in terms
26:08of injuries.
26:09Two years ago
26:09I think they were
26:10the most injured
26:11team last year.
26:12They were seventh
26:12this year.
26:14On top of the list
26:15nobody wants
26:15to be on top of
26:16and Sengun misses.
26:18Free chicken.
26:20We got chicken.
26:24Final minute
26:25at the third quarter.
26:27see the Grizzlies.
26:28Can they pitch
26:28or shutout?
26:29Can they get bats
26:30wide open here
26:31Gigi Jackson?
26:31Gigi lines up to three.
26:34Cross for offensive rebound
26:36and off the reload
26:37lays it up and in.
26:41You can hear the slap
26:43Martin.
26:43You gotta pull the whistle.
26:46You gotta pull the whistle.
26:48Durant
26:48a three air ball.
26:50A look ahead
26:51to Gigi Jackson.
26:53I'm at Thompson
26:54strip him.
26:58Hustled by Thompson
26:59to get back.
27:00Holiday.
27:02Sengun misses.
27:03Shot clock is off.
27:05There's just
27:05going to hold
27:05for the final shot.
27:08Numbers.
27:09They didn't go
27:10immediately so
27:11nice to get
27:12the last shot.
27:12He said pitch
27:13a shutout.
27:13They've done just
27:14that now.
27:14Can they get
27:15another score?
27:17Slayton driving.
27:20Stymie against Holiday
27:21and draws a foul
27:23with nine tenths
27:24of his second
27:24remaining in the quarter.
27:31Gigi Jackson can't come up with it
27:32but Omax does.
27:33Good job.
27:34Good job
27:35of him staying
27:36on the glass.
27:37Keeping the basketball
27:39alive.
27:40Fantastic quarter
27:41for Omax.
27:44Omax with 15 in the quarter.
27:48And Clayton buries
27:49the first free throw.
27:50And for Omax
27:51that is his third
27:5320 point game
27:54of the season.
27:55His career high is 25
27:57when he was red hot
27:59from three in Portland.
28:00And he's hit three
28:01of four from distance
28:02tonight.
28:03The nine tenths
28:04of a second.
28:05And the Grizzlies
28:06within five.
28:07Eason lets it go.
28:08And we have ourselves
28:10a ballgame
28:11possession ballgame
28:12heading to the
28:13fourth quarter.
28:15Grizzlies trying to end
28:16a four game
28:16losing streak.
28:18They've also lost
28:19seven of their last
28:19eight at home.
28:21Trying to put
28:22some more doubt
28:23in the minds
28:23of the Houston Rockets
28:24who led it by 11.
28:26Grizzlies have pulled
28:27within five
28:28through three quarters
28:29on Fambles
28:29from the Warriors
28:30Network.
28:36To toe with one
28:37of the prime teams
28:37in the NBA
28:3887-82 Houston
28:39with the lead.
28:40Both teams
28:4146% shooting.
28:44And Omax
28:45with 15 of his 20
28:46in the third quarter.
28:52Grizzlies have a first
28:53to start the fourth.
28:56Small, Spencer,
28:57Gibson, Jackson
28:58and towered on the floor.
29:00Spencer driving.
29:03Had a good look
29:04but it fails to fall.
29:06Ja'Shawn Tate
29:07out there with
29:08Holiday, Thompson,
29:09Shingun,
29:09and Jabari Smith.
29:11So I point for the Grizzlies
29:12here.
29:12These first five minutes
29:14of this fourth quarter
29:16don't allow the Rockets
29:18to run away with this game
29:19would turn it into
29:20a double-digit game
29:21as Shingun.
29:22Oh, amen, Thompson.
29:25Can I get an amen?
29:27Amen.
29:28Wow.
29:30That was almost as hard
29:31as this
29:39was just that
29:40like
29:40to hear it
29:41hunched through
29:42like that.
29:42Listen to this.
29:47Look how high it is.
29:49He doesn't throw it down.
29:51Look at this.
29:54Cam Spencer has no chance.
29:56This is what I mean
29:57when I say
29:58we talk about
29:59the defensive rebounding.
30:01Sometimes
30:01you just
30:01you got no chance.
30:03Yeah.
30:0315 offensive rebounds
30:06for Houston
30:07tonight.
30:09Last foul
30:10was on Shingun.
30:11That's four on him.
30:15And Taj Gibson
30:16shooting two.
30:17Shingun will sit.
30:18Clint Capella
30:19will come in.
30:23Capella
30:23is
30:24an offensive rebounder.
30:25We know that.
30:26But he averages
30:27two offensive rebounds
30:28per game
30:28and he plays
30:29fewer than 13 minutes
30:31per game.
30:31That's what he does.
30:32But he is a rim runner.
30:34So the thing about him
30:34is he's always
30:35going to be around
30:36the basket.
30:36He's going to set
30:37screens
30:37and he'll set
30:38a rescreen
30:39and then he's
30:40going to roll.
30:40He'll never pop back
30:41for a jump shot.
30:43If he pops back
30:43he's going into
30:44a dribble handoff
30:45on the other side
30:46of the floor.
30:47So because of
30:48the area of the floor
30:49which he's in.
30:49Oh wow.
30:51Battle between these
30:52two.
30:52That's here.
30:53And Taj Gibson
30:54finally called for the foul.
30:55He and Capella.
30:57Capella in his
30:5812th season
30:59and Gibson in his 16th.
31:02And all Taj Gibson
31:03does tonight
31:04will be free throws.
31:06Taj four for four
31:08from the line.
31:09He's got eight points
31:09tonight.
31:10Free throws and smiles.
31:11And that's a season high
31:12from Taj.
31:1917th season with Taj Gibson.
31:23Take a year away from him now.
31:27Speaking of a takeaway
31:28there's Howard
31:29two on one.
31:30He hangs.
31:31He misses.
31:32Devon Small
31:33runs down the miss.
31:34How's today
31:35by Devon?
31:39Small.
31:42Howard battling
31:43on the offensive glass.
31:45Bridges will get a fresh 14.
31:46a Hendricks three.
31:50Boy that would have been big
31:51to be able to knock
31:52that one down.
31:53Yeah.
31:53Would have made it
31:53a two point game.
31:56Grizzlies double digit
31:57threes for 29
31:58consecutive games now.
32:00That is a franchise record.
32:02And Javon Small
32:03will get called
32:04for his third foul.
32:09I love it.
32:13I love it.
32:15He'll never back down
32:18from anywhere.
32:20Does not carry himself
32:22like a rookie.
32:23He will not back down
32:24from anywhere.
32:25And we're going to get
32:26double technicals
32:27because Javon Small
32:27and Jayshon Tate
32:28continue to chatter.
32:31So over them
32:32hit with a tap.
32:34I love it.
32:38I love it.
32:39I love it.
32:40I love it.
32:41I love it.
32:42I love it.
32:42I love it.
32:43I love it.
32:44I love it.
32:45Capella screens.
32:47Shepard.
32:48And there's what Capella does.
32:50He rolls to the front of
32:52the basket.
32:52He gets himself
32:53in maximum position.
32:54He pushes the offensive
32:55player under the basket.
32:57So he's in space
32:59to be able to score
33:00without it being defense.
33:02Gigi on a back down.
33:03Heels back.
33:04He draws a foul.
33:06Gigi Jackson
33:07will go to the line.
33:12Thompson's saying no,
33:13don't challenge him.
33:14He's got the other guys
33:19on the floor saying challenge
33:20and Thompson's the one guy
33:21saying no, don't do it.
33:27So Gigi Jackson
33:28will go to the line
33:29for the first time tonight.
33:30It's good to have honest players
33:32because we've become
33:34accustomed to everybody
33:36giving early bird signals.
33:38and now we've got players
33:40going like,
33:40no, don't, no.
33:41We really did.
33:42We did foul.
33:42We really did.
33:43Don't challenge.
33:47We've not had any challenges
33:48tonight, Mr. Knight.
33:50We did have the end of period.
33:51So while we have an opportunity,
33:53you want to know
33:54who's in this caucus tonight?
33:55It has to be the right moment,
33:57Peter.
33:57You know how it hits me.
33:58Okay.
33:58It hits me in the moment.
34:00If we get close
34:01to the end of the game
34:02and we have no green illumination
34:05in the building,
34:06then I think I'm ready to roll.
34:09Okay.
34:09I'm sorry.
34:10I surprised you.
34:11You did.
34:11That's just threw me off guard.
34:14Ahmed Thompson,
34:15his first three of the game,
34:1618 for Thompson.
34:18So he's had his season average.
34:21He's gone for 20-plus
34:22in three of the last five.
34:24He's got 18 tonight.
34:26Small,
34:27coward,
34:27a rhythm three.
34:29Doesn't get the roll.
34:43Shepard on the move.
34:44Off the glass.
34:48And Small,
34:49had been out of bounds.
34:50Didn't have to be established
34:51and he was hurt in the touch.
34:52So the ball
34:53will stay with Houston.
34:59Houston,
35:00what they have done
35:01a good job with tonight,
35:03they have limited their turnovers.
35:04Only nine.
35:05And they forced nine.
35:07So,
35:08you know,
35:08normally they're in the negative
35:09and now
35:11foul on Clint Capella.
35:16team fouls even at two apiece.
35:30small.
35:34Hendricks side screen,
35:35he rolls.
35:36Gigi leans in,
35:38plenty of contact.
35:40Missed the shot.
35:41Those are tough shots though
35:43in those situations
35:44for the Grizzlies.
35:45You like to just get,
35:46you like to get
35:46more on-balance shots
35:48going towards the basket.
35:51Jabari Smith,
35:53good job there by Cam.
35:54lost the ball.
35:55Cam Spencer was first to it.
35:56Picked up by Hendricks.
35:57Grizzlies played five on four.
36:00Cam to three.
36:01There you go Cam Spencer.
36:03To open that up.
36:05Small run to the basket.
36:07Cedric Coward flair to the corner.
36:09That didn't allow for Cam Spencer
36:11to walk into that top of the key three.
36:13Spencer in double figures with 11.
36:19Jabari Smith
36:20will get a trip to the free throw line.
36:23Foul on Cam Spencer.
36:25His first.
36:28You'll see,
36:28you'll see Javon Small
36:29will cut to the basket.
36:30There he is right there.
36:32Reed Shepard then has to respect that.
36:34And he takes the two steps that way.
36:36That's just enough space
36:37for Cam to be wide open.
36:40Cam tonight.
36:41Three or four from the long line.
36:42He had been open six
36:43in the prior two games.
36:45This is a good game for Cam.
36:46He needed a game.
36:47You see the ball go through the basket.
36:48He also needed a basketball game.
36:51It's not just to see it go through,
36:53but realize he continued
36:54to take good shots.
36:55And even sometimes
36:56take a couple shots
36:57where a defender is close to
36:59because he's knocking on those first shots
37:01being defended.
37:02Good job
37:03stepping into that last one.
37:06Deacon Jerome
37:07and Cedric Coward into the game.
37:10Jackson Small, Spencer out.
37:13Tyler Burton also in for the Grizzlies.
37:18Javari Smith Jr.
37:19A season high.
37:2014 rebounds tonight.
37:23His 14th double-double of the season.
37:26And as Houston was trying to get right.
37:3496-89.
37:39These two teams
37:41are used to playing
37:42in single-digit games.
37:43He's going there again tonight.
37:47Hendrick slams on the brakes.
37:49Hurt working the baseline.
37:53Coward.
37:54A fake and a finish.
37:56Nice up and down there.
37:58And Cedric Coward
37:59and something that we've talked about
38:01ad nauseum
38:01since the All-Star break.
38:03The Grizzlies again
38:04battling
38:05against upper echelon teams
38:07forcing them
38:08to have to win the game
38:10down the stretch.
38:12Shepard airball.
38:13Giroux has it.
38:19Dickey
38:19turns down the three.
38:21Elevates over Capella for two.
38:23He's got to his comfort zone.
38:26Hey, you guys are
38:27not going to take the shots
38:28that you want me to take.
38:29Take the shot that I want to take.
38:31And he knocks it down.
38:36And a foul on Dickey Giroux.
38:38And then he said,
38:39push the screen.
38:40He went to set the screen.
38:43One thing the Grizzlies
38:44would like to not do.
38:44She has a three,
38:45but doesn't take.
38:46He says,
38:46I like the mid-range.
38:47Gets it to the mid-range.
38:48Nice floater.
38:49One thing the Grizzlies
38:50likes to do partners
38:51is at least try to go
38:52the next two or three minutes
38:55without fouling.
38:56Yes,
38:56because they have
38:57committed four.
38:58Prosper in,
38:59cowered out.
39:00Durant in Shenzhou's return
39:01for Houston.
39:03Houston has played
39:04in 41 games
39:05decided by single digits.
39:07That's the second most
39:08in the NBA.
39:09Denver leads with 42.
39:12Grizzlies are at 40 games
39:14decided by single digits.
39:16Just think about that number,
39:1840 games decided by double digits
39:20with the most injuries
39:21in the association
39:23by wide margins
39:25around another three.
39:27He holds the pose.
39:31Hendricks trailing.
39:32Surprised to Rowe.
39:34Burton will let it fly
39:35from three.
39:37The whole max.
39:37Yep,
39:38whole max.
39:38The tip rebound.
39:40Fresh 14 to the Grizzlies
39:41down six.
39:43And Eason
39:44fouled Burton out in front.
39:4713 foul Houston.
39:48That would be a nice three
39:49from Burton to knock down
39:50partner in that situation.
39:52He has been the hot shooter
39:54the last couple games
39:55for the Grizzlies.
39:56Timeout on the floor.
39:57646 for the game.
39:59Grizzlies down six to Houston.
40:03Six.
40:03Let's check out
40:04cleaning the glass.
40:05Service mastered by Stratus.
40:08Delivered by Olivier Maxens.
40:10Prosper.
40:11Two of his six rebounds
40:12on the offensive end.
40:14Omax.
40:15Chase it down.
40:16Put it back up and in.
40:17And Omax with the footback
40:19on the offensive glass.
40:21Grizzlies 12 offensive rebounds
40:23tonight.
40:23Two by Omax.
40:24That's tonight's
40:25cleaning the glass.
40:27Grizzlies.
40:28One thing they've done well
40:29here in this fourth quarter,
40:30Brevin.
40:31Zero turnovers.
40:32And turnovers
40:33and fourth quarter execution
40:35have been an issue
40:36for the Grizzlies.
40:37Now,
40:37remember this,
40:38however,
40:38the Grizzlies only one timeout
40:40the rest of the way.
40:41Only one timeout
40:42and only one timeout.
40:43They have no more fouls
40:44on the defensive side.
40:45Omax over Shen Goon.
40:49Diggie Jarrell has been
40:50really good
40:51from the glass
40:52for the Grizzlies.
40:54And then not a good pass.
40:56A lollipop intercepted.
40:58And a tired easy runout.
40:59Shen Goon to the easy steal.
41:03Jarrell made a really good play
41:05and then made
41:05a less than good play.
41:07Let me tell you,
41:08when you leave your feet,
41:09you lessen your options.
41:11Over the top,
41:13Hendricks double.
41:15And Hendricks is at a rough night.
41:16One of nine from the floor.
41:20And...
41:20Come on.
41:22Tyler Burton with the foul.
41:25And the Grizzlies are over the limit.
41:26He had said,
41:27could the Grizzlies get the next
41:28couple minutes without fouling?
41:30Doesn't happen.
41:31Burton with the foul.
41:32And free throws for Shen Goon.
41:34Shen Goon over two
41:35from the line tonight.
41:37This makes the game
41:38a little bit tougher
41:40for the Grizzlies.
41:41Number one,
41:42because of the aggressive play
41:44of the Houston Rockets
41:45puts themselves in position
41:47to get to the free throw line.
41:48But it also makes the game
41:49a slowdown game
41:51when these fouls do happen.
41:52Which is where Houston
41:53really wants it.
41:54Over to Rob Fisher.
41:55Yeah, guys.
41:56Alprin, Shen Goon.
41:57How about this nugget?
41:58Tied for third most games
41:59in NBA history
42:00with 30, 10, and 10
42:02on 80% field goals.
42:04Only Nikola Jokic
42:05and Wilt Chamberlain
42:06have more.
42:07Also,
42:08most assists by a center
42:09before turning the age
42:11of 20,
42:1121,
42:1222,
42:1323,
42:14and 24
42:15all held
42:16by Alprin,
42:17Shen Goon.
42:18Just 23 years of age
42:21was the Turkish
42:22Super League MVP
42:24and earned his second
42:26NBA All-Star
42:27birth this season.
42:28Lead back
42:29to double digits
42:30for Houston.
42:36Screened by Giroux.
42:38He rolls.
42:39And does not finish.
42:41Second time
42:41they've contested.
42:42Grizzlies just on the contest.
42:44Haven't been comfortable.
42:45Nice knockaway
42:46by Burton.
42:49Walter.
42:53And Walter's down.
42:58And Walter Clayton Jr.
43:02in discomfort.
43:03He does nod to the Grizzlies
43:04and say,
43:04I'm okay.
43:06But Houston's largest lead
43:08in the game at 12.
43:09Clayton for three.
43:12Rebound.
43:12Ricochets around.
43:13Giroux's got it.
43:14He'll set up Burton.
43:15Burton's three.
43:16Down the well it goes.
43:18Tyler Burton.
43:191-0-5-96.
43:21Grizzlies now
43:21their 21st consecutive game
43:23with 12 or more
43:25three-point makes
43:26and 20 assists.
43:28That's the longest
43:29active streak
43:29in the NBA.
43:31They want to get started
43:32a little streak here,
43:33Barney.
43:33They ought to get a stop
43:34on this end.
43:38Hey!
43:39Ja'Vari Smith.
43:42And the foul
43:43on Walter Clayton Jr.
43:48because of Dylan
43:49the defensive side
43:50requiring a lot of help
43:51the Rockets
43:52a lot of these fouls
43:54are able to come
43:54because as the Grizzlies
43:56go to help there
43:56but a swing swing
43:57and then the drive
43:58from the weak side
44:00and the Grizzlies
44:01trying to recover
44:02just not in position.
44:04Smith four of six
44:05from the line tonight.
44:07Ja'Vari Smith
44:08is averaging 12 a game
44:10in the first two
44:11against the Grizzlies.
44:16He's got 16 tonight
44:17as you look at
44:18the Grizzlies' brain trust.
44:20Yeah, you look at
44:21this Rockets team
44:22and you start to project
44:23out what could they
44:24look like
44:25in the playoff series
44:26and because the games
44:29tend to slow down
44:30in the playoffs
44:32it plays into their favor
44:33because then they can use
44:34Shen Goon
44:35in the post position
44:37but they also like to use
44:37him out on the floor
44:38as a facilitator.
44:39You got Kevin Durant
44:40who speaks for itself.
44:42But for all of these
44:43other guys
44:44that haven't been in
44:45those situations
44:46it allows them to just
44:47be comfortable
44:47because the way that
44:48they like to play
44:50anyway.
44:50so when the game
44:51is at that pace
44:53I can see them
44:54having some success
44:55Hendricks still
44:56just can't find it.
44:58Hendricks 0 of 5 from 3
45:00and 1 of 10 from the floor
45:02Eason hit a crowd
45:04and he'll go back
45:05to the free throw line.
45:08Now called on Burton.
45:11Yeah, this Rockets team
45:13they are 29th in pace.
45:22Eason will go to the line
45:23he's 1 of 2 there tonight
45:2410 and 7 boards for him.
45:278 shot 23 free throws
45:29we get a 23rd free throw shot.
45:33Here in a second half.
45:36We had a grand total of 5
45:38nope, that was the first quarter.
45:40Let me get the right box score here.
45:42We had a grand total of 10 free throws
45:44in the first half.
45:457 by Houston
45:463 by the Grizzlies.
45:49And now a steal
45:52and a backbreaker.
45:54I was on the wrong one too
45:56by 19 free throws
45:57by the second half
45:58and unfortunately
46:00it may not be
46:01the number of turnovers
46:02it's the timing of it.
46:04Omax with a finger roll
46:06Prosper's first bucket
46:07of the fourth quarter.
46:08Omax will get away
46:09from the pressure
46:11to score.
46:16The hands again there
46:18by the Grizzlies
46:18Hendricks.
46:20Spencer
46:202 on 1
46:21wrap around
46:22give Hendricks an easy one.
46:24Smart play by Cam Spencer.
46:26Hendricks has been struggling
46:27give him an easy one.
46:28And it's good that he went
46:29to the basket
46:30to score
46:30to force Durant
46:31to have to show his hand
46:33and when he did
46:33Durant went to block
46:34easy play.
46:367th assist for Spencer
46:37among the league leaders
46:38in assist to turnover ratio.
46:40Extra pass
46:41a Durant 3.
46:43Big time player
46:44big time shot
46:46the lead to 13.
46:49He had a sweat here
46:51in this game
46:5125 Omax again
46:53to the front of the rim.
46:56Well and Durant
46:57averaging 4 and a half assists
47:0010 helpers tonight.
47:06Again these threes
47:07these are second half threes
47:08for him.
47:10The time he wants
47:10for the Rockies.
47:12Aubin Thompson
47:13no.
47:15Under three remaining
47:16Grizzlies need points
47:17and a whole bunch
47:19of stops.
47:20Burton Spencer
47:29Blake works the baseline
47:30tries to create space
47:32and Jabari Smith
47:33denied him.
47:40Kevin Durant
47:40partner
47:41in games
47:42that's going to matter.
47:43You don't want him
47:44having to do this.
47:45You want him to be able
47:46to get to that elbow
47:47throw him to basketball
47:49and now you can set the
47:50screen if you want
47:50at the elbow
47:51he becomes a lot
47:52different player
47:54but not him having
47:55to initiate
47:55is tougher.
48:00Spencer
48:01Omax

48:47To create some
48:48opportunities
48:49for others
48:50but also his defense
48:51and his activity
48:52is what then
48:53allowed the Grizzlies
48:54to stay in the game
48:55in that third quarter.
48:56He said coming out
