00:00Бранден Меллер и твоя Charlotte Hornets
00:03looking to take the second consecutive game
00:05from the Boston Celtics in the season series
00:08first won 25 days ago
00:09historically great performance by the Hornets
00:12as a whole, a blowout win in Boston
00:15they'll be matching up with Jason Tatum
00:17who did not play in that first game
00:19Tatum missing the first three quarters of the season
00:21with an Achilles chair
00:23alright here's the Boston Celtics lineup
00:25it's lacking a bit of color
00:26no Jaylen Brown, no Derek White
00:29so instead Peyton Pritchard, Sam Houser
00:32Jordan Walsh, Jason Tatum
00:33and Namias Tata
00:35will start for Joe Mizzoula
00:37for the locals, Charles Lee will try it out
00:39LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Concanippo
00:41Miles Bridges, Lucy Diabate
00:42these five have now started every single game
00:46of this homestand and the proof is in the pudding
00:48when these guys play together
00:49the Hornets are a tough out
00:51our tip-off presented by Planet Fitness
00:53won by the visitors, look at this
00:55just to begin our ballgame
00:57a guy wearing a 30 heaves up a long three-pointer
00:59and Sam Houser shot
01:01goes begging for this ball
01:02wow, he tested the waters early
01:04at Spectrum Center
01:06he tried to score four seconds into our game
01:08goodness
01:10for those who don't know, Sam Houser
01:12he wears number 30 in honor of Terry Porter
01:16who is from
01:17Stevens Point, Wisconsin
01:19which is Sam Houser's hometown
01:21Brandon Miller misses his first shot
01:23and another rebound for Kenippo
01:25Conn has been doing work on the boards
01:27over the last couple of games
01:28he has had 11 rebounds in back-to-back games
01:32yeah, I mean not the highest jumper
01:34but he's got a good wide body
01:36and again reads that ball coming off the rim
01:38he's not afraid to fix it up
01:40be physical
01:40on the offensive glass
01:44loose it with a touch
01:45skips it over to LaBello
01:47LaBello shaded by Walsh
01:48trying to get through a pick
01:52Walsh
01:52and a stolen pass
01:54by Peyton Pritchard
01:56LaBello kind of painted himself into a corner
02:01Celtics have went back to that game
02:03both of them have been oppressive wins
02:05they took down the Atlanta Hawks
02:07and they took down the Oklahoma City Thunder
02:09their two most recent games
02:13Conn Kinnippo!
02:14a two-ball!
02:16Houser right there knowing
02:17I've got to take the airspace away from Conn
02:20but man how quickly did he get the feet set
02:23and knock that one in
02:24today could be the day folks
02:25Conn Kinnippo is three three-pointers
02:28away from the Hornets franchise record
02:30for threes in a season
02:33the current record holder is in the building
02:35it's the great Kemba Walker
02:36he finished with 260
02:38Conn's got 257
02:41LaBello
02:44Dexie an outside shot
02:45LaBello passes Kemba
02:47by the end of the season as well
02:49LaBello currently has 235 from his corner
02:52oh wow
02:52okay Jason Tatum still
02:55supports him down
02:56the transition season season
02:59and attacks
03:00Wow Bridges misses the layup
03:02that he normally makes
03:07Celtics currently the second best record
03:09in the Eastern Conference
03:10trailing only
03:11the Detroit Pistons
03:16Tatum
03:22Tatum is one of those guys
03:23who could score anywhere
03:24on the offensive end of the floor
03:26no doubt
03:26that Achilles injury
03:28is fully healed
03:29he had lost a step
03:30caught
03:31blocked it over
03:32Kato
03:32saw Kato right there
03:34when he pulled up
03:34off the wrong leg
03:35high
03:37one-hand release
03:38up two Duke
03:39one-and-dones
03:40have all the points
03:42in our game today
03:42Kato and Kinnippo
03:44have all nine
03:45in our ballgame
03:56full head of steam for Bridges
03:58Diabate
03:59quick spin
04:00high up the window
04:02oh nice attack by Viles
04:04Moussa
04:04turns away from the defense
04:06and gets that right hand
04:07off the glass
04:08the Parisian uses the right bank
04:10yeah
04:13Walsh
04:14two feet
04:14in the paint
04:22Lovato
04:24and that goes off of Lovato's foot
04:27until we have a moment
04:28how about keys to the game
04:29brought to us by Carolina
04:30four dealers
04:31got to limit what just happened
04:32you can't turn that ball over
04:33once we've done a great job
04:34as of lately
04:35not turning it over
04:36season low five
04:37turnovers last time
04:38these two teams met
04:39because of the game left
04:40last night
04:40you can have team fortitude
04:42that's strength of mind
04:43allows one to endure
04:45pain
04:45or adversity
04:48with courage
04:49you've got to come out
04:50to forget about last night
04:51you've got a Boston
04:52self-esteem that's hungry
04:53a little short-handed
04:55those teams are dangerous
04:59Kinnippo
05:06Hauser
05:08he can stroke it
05:09he can stroke it
05:10Sam Hauser on the year
05:11now with 176 threes
05:14he shoots 38 percent
05:15from behind the arm
05:16teams one of five
05:17but that one three
05:18has been emphatic
05:19Miles never used his
05:21dominant left hand
05:22that's what he does
05:25shoulders by Hauser
05:26he's got to attack that
05:27anytime he has a live dribble
05:28on Sam Hauser
05:31Peyton Richard
05:32last year is the sixth
05:33man of the year
05:33this year he has started
05:35the large bulk of the season
05:38not shoot a particularly
05:39great ball this year
05:40Peyton Richard
05:42Peyton
05:42misses on the second chance
05:46head of the pack
05:48Kahn
05:48took his eye off the ball
05:50and oh my goodness
05:51I hope he's okay
05:53he went right into
05:56our guy Kent Smith
06:00Kent Smith
06:01Kent Smith longtime team
06:02photographer
06:03one of the hazards of the job
06:10he's really good at what he does
06:17he's really good at
06:20the first three-pointer for Peyton
06:22Pritchard
06:22first three-pointer for Peyton
06:22and the Celtics take the one-point lead
06:26too many open looks for Boston
06:28Charles Lee wants to talk things over
06:36he's really good at the
06:36spectrum center where the Hornets
06:37trail by one early against the
06:39Boston Celtics
06:40and last night postgame after that
06:42loss to the 76ers
06:43Kobe White was asked what the locker
06:45room was like
06:46and he just said hurt
06:48he did say that a lot of the players
06:50got together they talked before the
06:51coaches came in
06:52some were more vocal than others
06:54but the message was
06:55we cannot let this game what
06:57happened tonight and that hurt bleed
07:00into tonight against the Boston
07:01Celtics
07:02Kobe did go on to say that that was
07:04a great game for them
07:05he said we had to learn
07:07playoff atmosphere for sure
07:08he said we're not going to hit 26
07:10threes every single night
07:11how do we grind it out when we're
07:13struggling
07:14and guys
07:14Kent is doing just fine
07:16our camera guy just checked on
07:17he said he's doing fine

07:20yeah
07:20checked a lot of boxes with that
07:22report thank you Shannon
07:24Hornets down a point
07:26we've got a couple of changes
07:28Ryan Culprenner comes in for the first time
07:30he'll be the center
07:31also into the game
07:32Josh Green
07:34Hornets sub off
07:35Diabate and Knippel
07:36you know that report
07:37Shannon gave about
07:38Kobe telling that
07:39players get together
07:40before some coaches come in
07:41after the game
07:41that's something that's changed
07:42over the years
07:43when I was in the league
07:44coaches would come right in
07:45win or lose
07:46if you lose they're hot
07:47they're giving it to you
07:48right off the last players
07:50able to get down the lane
07:52they're coming right at you
07:53the coaches
07:54but now
07:55coaches get a chance to cool off
07:56players get a chance to meet
07:57talk about it
07:58coaches go over the game themselves
07:59then they come in
08:00and tell you what
08:01their thoughts are
08:02about the game
08:03so that's something again
08:04like a lot of other things
08:05that the NBA has totally changed
08:07number 55
08:09for Joe Mazzula
08:10first sub for Joe Mazzula
08:12he will bring in
08:13second year man
08:14Baylor Shireman
08:17Shireman's left handed
08:18he's a shooter
08:18he's had a nice year
08:20he shoots 38%
08:22from behind the arc
08:23in volume
08:23Joe Mazzula
08:27and what do we got
08:29an offensive foul
08:29on Mal Bridget
08:30how about Joe Mazzula
08:31this is a guy
08:32who is behind the bench
08:33what that means folks
08:34is you are not one of the
08:35lead assistants
08:36you were kind of behind the
08:37bench during timeouts
08:38you don't go on the floor
08:39and deal with strategy
08:41he was a behind the best
08:42assistant when Ima Yudoka
08:44was the head coach
08:45Yudoka left
08:46they needed to replace him
08:48and they chose Mazzula
08:49even though he wasn't
08:50considered to be
08:51one of the lead guys
08:54Jason Tatum was great
08:56and all Joe Mazzula
08:57has done
08:58is through his first
08:59300 games
09:00he's got the highest
09:01winning percentage
09:01in the history of the NBA
09:03took the head coach
09:03now sometimes
09:07tears when they really
09:08like a coach
09:09and they know he's
09:10head coach and waiting
09:11let's try to keep it
09:12behind the bench
09:13just as long as they can
09:14so other teams
09:15doesn't realize that
09:16okay
09:18coach got to be bought
09:19in as well because
09:20every coach wants to be
09:20on the front of that
09:21bench sometimes
09:23try to hide them
09:24keep with their
09:25organization as long as
09:26they can
09:28means a lot to Joe
09:29Mazzula he is a native
09:30New Englander he is
09:31from Rhode Island
09:34was only an assistant
09:35for three years
09:36three years
09:37back bench assistant
09:38before getting the
09:39opportunity of a lifetime
09:40and he has not
09:41fumbled the opportunity

10:02part about playing
10:03in the game
10:04is it physically
10:05he said no
10:06it's more about
10:06the middle side of him
10:10that's the middle
10:11fortitude right there

10:37he will always touch
10:38the center line
10:39he will do the drill
10:40in its entirety
10:41and then instead of
10:42kind of getting close
10:42and turning around
10:43he will touch that line
10:45he will look down
10:45at the center line
10:46touch it

10:49guy do that
10:50in the 11 years
10:51I've been with the Hornets
10:51and that was Marvin Williams
10:53if Sion could have a
10:54professional career
10:55like Marvin Williams
10:56that would be something
10:57to strive for
11:00Ron Harper Jr.
11:01has checked into the game
11:03two of Ron Harper's

12:25big time offensive
12:26rebound for Kata
12:27that split hands right
12:28there by Kata
12:29ricocheted that ball off
12:30the glass
12:38Hornets down five
12:39turns it over four times
12:41here in our first quarter
12:45shot blocks at four
12:47Kobe takes a strong
12:48dribble
12:51caught in between
12:52whether the
12:53sheep that was over the
12:54rim or used the backboard
12:57always go with the backboard
12:58caught in between
13:13he's going to be a shot
13:15everybody stopped playing that
13:17time good job by Josh
13:18he picks up his coverage with
13:20Pritchard you go under on the first
13:22screen over on the second but
13:23Pritchard yeah it realized everybody stopped playing Kata do exactly what's happening
13:29Kata's got the last six for Boston
13:34Kobe breaks the seal his first bucket
13:36since coming over from Chicago he's averaging 16 points per game
13:41this is his 15th game of the first time he's played the second game of a back-to-back
13:46no
13:49he has never made a three-pointer folks
13:52he is 0 for 10 in his career he's feeling his oats fires it up there
13:56that may have been the closest he's come to making one
14:00the Mias Kata come on we get a time out of the floor
14:0829 remaining here in quarter number one
14:10Hornets and Celtics finishing up a seven-game homestand
14:13take a look at our live save game parlay right now it's brought to you by FanDuel
14:17you can see how the money line and over-under lines have shifted
14:20with the Hornets currently down by five
14:22what can Hornets do Dell to get back into this one
14:24well one stop turn it over four turnovers only three Celtics points but you don't get
14:30eating off those turnovers they're fruitless possessions
14:33that's why the Celtics have taken four more shots
14:36than you have
14:37but the North have no offensive or second chance points right now
14:42that's characteristic those guys normally chase down some of those missed threes
14:46but not yet have they done so
14:48he's a big name without a uniform for Boston
14:52they get Jason Tatum back but then Vucevic is out with a finger injury
14:56you got Jaylen Brown out wearing his Atlanta Braves hat
14:59yeah
14:59what's up with that
15:01and you got Derrick White not in uniform
15:04well you talk to Jaylen Brown he's fiercely proud he's from Atlanta
15:07Marietta
15:09I'll give you that you gotta be loyal to your hometown team to a certain extent
15:13if he wears that to Fenway Park I got a problem with it
15:15or the bench in Boston
15:17I got a problem with that
15:18yeah
15:21Todd Knievel back into the game along with Moussa Diabate
15:25Celtics are going to roll with Pritchard
15:27Luca Garza
15:29his doppelganger
15:30Ugo Gonzalez
15:31Baylor Shireman
15:33and Ron Harper Jr.
15:35this is a motley punch right now
15:37see if the Hornets can make hay
15:38I got my Braves hat yesterday at my grandson's t-ball game on
15:43you have a Braves hat?
15:45yeah I do
15:45okay
15:46got a Boston hat too
15:48yeah
15:48yeah
15:50Kobe White
15:52off the quick pass by Sien and throw him in a rhythm
15:55no doubt
15:55that's a tough shot
15:57all the way across the floor
15:58you get anxious
15:59when you see that ball coming at you
16:00the defense knows
16:02they're going to close out on you
16:03so you may try to pull the trigger a little quickly
16:05but not the veteran
16:06Kobe White
16:08wanted to make three three-pointers
16:10Harper gets loose inside
16:15this communication on that switch right there
16:17Harper
16:18he's got good genes in his blood
16:21realizes that
16:22he cuts the back door
16:27oh nice pass
16:28Josh Green
16:29gets it to Diaponte
16:37drive by Josh
16:41wrap around a couple of Celtics right there
16:44Garza
16:45he's going to make Moussa
16:46earn two the hard way
16:50so Moussa to the line
16:51to the first free throws in the game for either side
16:55here's a message to Truest

17:02Truest
17:05learn how knowledge and care can work for you
17:10hey look at this
17:11Liam McNeely
17:12he's going to get some first quarter minutes
17:17and we've got a lane violation on Harper
17:21it was the pressure that Liam McNeely kind of applied
17:23Harper felt like he needed to box them out hard
17:26and he got in the lane too early
17:31it's good to see Liam back out there
17:33late first round pick Liam McNeely
17:35he's got it
17:36he's got it
17:37it's been a lot of time of last couple of months

18:52well McNeely commits the foul
18:54and that stops the clock
18:55and it allows the Hornets to sub him out

18:59so Myles Bridges and Josh Green

19:11Bridges really good

34:40ДИНАМИЧНАЯ МУЗЫКА
35:06Again, Richard goes one-on-one.
35:09No way.
35:11Offensive foul.
35:12Offensive foul on Richard.
35:19Richard's looking at the tablet,
35:21asking if the coaching staff will challenge.
35:24They will not.
35:26He's saying, I stepped on his foot, or he stepped on my foot,
35:29one or the other.
35:30Oh, he stepped on the Miller's foot right there.
35:38Yeah, I think the Hornets got a wayward one.
35:43Oh, the window for challenging.
35:47So we move on.
35:50Ryan Kalkbender comes into the game.
35:53Jason Tatum comes back into the game.
35:57Shireman leaves for Boston.
36:01Yabate leaves for the Hornets.
36:03Jason Tatum, so far in our ballgame, he has played 12 minutes.
36:07He's got 60 points.
36:19This time gets the whistle when he wanted.
36:21They called a foul on Hauser.
36:23It's good offense right there.
36:24You know, the Celtics are going to switch.
36:28You run that play all the way through
36:30until you get the switch and the mismatch,
36:32and that is Bridges on Hauser.
36:40Seventieth game of the year for Miles Bridges.
36:44Here's a message to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.
36:48We're making health care costs more transparent for all,
36:51starting with you.
36:56Josh Green comes back in.
36:59Miles had that suspension when he got into dust-up with Detroit.
37:03Besides that, he has been available all season long for Charles Lee.
37:09Hornets training staff, tip of the cap.
37:11They've done a really good job of getting guys ready to play
37:14for the large chunk of the season.
37:17Get guys back from injuries.
37:19He's having him.
37:21Jason Tatum.
37:25He's such a smart player.
37:26You can see Bridges when he feels that screen coming up top.
37:31Run up into Tatum and take the airspace away.
37:35Fight over the screen, but that gives Tatum the step right there.
37:38Then he feels Bridges trying to catch up,
37:40create a little bit of contact, and get a whistle.
37:44Third foul on Miles Bridges.
37:46He'll have to come out of the game.
37:47He's replaced by Kobe White.
37:53Now the Boston Celtics look like geniuses
37:55when they took Jason Tatum in the 2017 draft.
38:00Everyone knew they got a keeper.
38:02But folks, he was the third pick.
38:05Who remembers that Markel Fultz went number one,
38:07and Lonzo Ball went number two.
38:10Oh my goodness.
38:11That's how you become a great team.
38:13Yeah.
38:14When Jason Tatum slips to three.
38:17LaMelo.
38:20He'll stay with the Hornets.
38:25And a foul going for the rebound.
38:27It's going to go against number 11, Ryan Calkbrenner.
38:37See Calkbrenner right there, shoving the back,
38:41just trying to get to the offensive glass, steal some points.
38:43He's going to go against Pritchard to the line.
38:45Well, he fouls Pritchard, and because of the bonus,
38:48Pritchard will shoot two.
38:49He has made 24 consecutive free throws.
38:5324.
38:55A lot of great shooters in the history of the Celtics still,
38:57who is the all-time leader in consecutive free throws made in Boston Celtics history.
39:01Come on, Dennis Johnson.
39:04You had a chance to go Larry Bird, Danny, and Ray Allen, and you go DJ.
39:10That's not right, huh?
39:11Ray Allen.
39:12Ray Allen made 72 in a row.
39:14He broke Larry Bird's record at 71 in a row.
39:17That's a number.
39:18Yeah.
39:1972 in a row for Ray Allen.
39:22That was touched on the way up by Catum.
39:24Ball finds Calkbrenner.
39:26Let's do it for the block.
39:27Calkbrenner next to all this guy on the floor.
39:29Keeps that ball above his head, doesn't bring it down.
39:33How about this for Ray Allen?
39:35Catum, nope.
39:36He made 72 in a row.
39:38He missed one, and then made 57 more in a row.
39:40He went 129 for 130 at one point.
39:44Hey.
39:45Hey.
39:46Hey.
39:50Hey.
39:51He couldn't overlap with Ray and Milwaukee.
39:53Yeah.
39:54One year, huh?
39:54Yeah.
39:55And that was the year you led the league in three-point shooting.
39:57Yes, sir.
39:58So you were a better shooter than a guy who made 129 of 130 free throws.
40:03That year it certainly was.
40:04Yeah, we had Vinnie Del Negro.
40:06The Wisconsin Dels.
40:07Oh.
40:07Del Curry, Vinnie Del Negro.
40:10One of both those guys probably still owe me some cash for shooting games.
40:15And a traveling call on Kobe White.
40:19Timeout.
40:21We've got a timeout at the floor.
40:24Hornets trailing the Celtics.
40:262.52 remaining second quarter.
40:32Productive homestand has been for the Hornets.
40:34Nothing to sell out here at Spectrum Center.
40:36The Hornets so far through the first six games have won five.
40:39Only lost one up against it right now.
40:42Down 17 against the Boston Celtics.
40:44After tonight's game, the Hornets will be on the road for just one.
40:47A real quickie in Brooklyn against the Nets who are limping.
40:52And then they'll open back here for a pair.
40:55We're getting down to crunch time.
40:57This is game number 75 for the Hornets.
41:00With last night's loss.
41:01If they had won, the Hornets would have been a seventh in Eastern Conference.
41:04Because they lost it now in 10th.
41:07That's how tight it is.
41:08It's going to be that way for the rest of the games in the regular season.
41:12Tighter than a second coat of paint.
41:15Hornets had the basketball.
41:16No damage done.
41:19LaMelo, trying to get started.
41:20There you go.
41:21LaMelo breaks the seal.
41:23Had been over six.
41:26Late transition.
41:27Everybody into the paint.
41:29Uses that Culp Renner screen.
41:30Nice soft runner.
41:32Gets him on the boards.
41:34Pritchard finds Hauser.
41:36Now Walsh with a touch.
41:40Jocklock goes down and they just give it to Pritchard
41:42and they do something.
41:43A, A, A, what?
41:46Culp Renner knew it was coming.
41:48And if the Culp shot won violation, wouldn't it fall?
41:51Culp Renner knew he could block that shot.
41:55That gave him plenty of time that I could block it, keep it in play.
42:00He goes, I can get that fingertip on it.
42:04Let's Pritchard run it down, though, and he has no time to get a shot off.
42:08Final two minutes of our first half.
42:12LaMelo.
42:14His first three-pointer now.
42:16Another head-hunting screen by number 11.
42:20Freeze LaMelo up going right that time.
42:23Four triple.
42:25Orders down by 19 at one point.
42:27Now only down by 12.
42:29Yeah, just chisel your way back into the state.
42:34Tatum took it to the 7-1 Culp Renner.
42:37Stitted the left arm high off the window.
42:42He has passed Larry Hughes.
42:44He's the best ever come out of St. Louis.
42:45Yes, he has.
42:53Hornets win the bonus.
42:55So even though LaMelo is fouled 38 feet away from the Culp, he'll have free throws.
43:02LaMelo's got a really good chance to finish the season as a 90% free throw shooter.
43:07He's currently at 89%.
43:11Hornets have only had three 90% free throw shooters in the history of this franchise dating back to 1988.
43:17Want to take a crack at it, though?
43:21Oh, wow.
43:21In a season.
43:24You played with one of them.
43:27You galt with another.
43:28And you called the other one's game.
43:31Oh, my.
43:32One had a perm.
43:35Chipuca.
43:35Yeah.
43:40The other one, let's see, you galt with, has said, and you seek to, as recently as this year.
43:46Matt Carroll.
43:46Matt Carroll, 90%.
43:48So bad on the golf course this week.
43:51There you go.
43:51Yeah.
43:52And the other one, judging by his name, you'd imagine he likes music.
43:59Spinner.
44:02Oh, he's a DJ.
44:04Augustine.
44:04DJ Augustine.
44:05There you go.
44:06DJ Augustine.
44:07Killer.
44:09Oh, Sam Hauser's at the free throw line.
44:12This is the first time he's shot a free throw in a month and a half.
44:18Oh, my goodness.
44:19I didn't think we were going to see it.
44:21Wow.
44:21Last time he shot a free throw was February 27th.
44:25It's at a 15-game window.
44:26In the history of the NBA, dating back to 1947,
44:29no one shoots free throws more infrequently than this man.
44:32And that basketball almost went in and it remembered who shot it,
44:35said, I can't go in for this one.
44:38He had made 11 in a row,
44:39but then he had to take that all the way back to, like, November when the streak started.
44:42He never goes through the free throw line.
44:44We just saw a full-leaf blubber.
44:50LaMelo.
44:54No foul.
44:56Final man out of our second quarter.
45:02Houser, a little bit confused,
45:03being at the free throw line,
45:04trying to get his bearings again.
45:09And a foul underneath.
45:11The knee is Keita.
45:12He's their version of Moussa Diabate.
45:15He's fouled and will shoot free throws.
45:17And those two guys know their role.
45:20Screen.
45:22Be connected with that ball at the top of the floor.
45:25DHOs.
45:26And carve out space on the offensive glass.
45:30They have good awareness of when their teammates are going to take shots.
45:33They don't carve it out too early.
45:44He's going to play the final 47 seconds of our first half.
45:48He replaces LaMelo.
45:51LaMelo's got three fouls.
45:52So Myles Bridges and LaMelo,
45:53both with three fouls here in our first half.
45:57LaMelo's just starting to find the range.
45:58He had the Hornets' last seven points.
46:07Hornets' it trailed by as many as 19.
46:22Brandon relocates.
46:26Look what I found.
46:28Diabate an offensive rebound.
46:42And Boston can hold for the final possession.
46:48Bridges is a killer in these circumstances.
46:51Hornets know it.
46:52They make him give it up.
46:54And Hauser doesn't get anything on goal.
46:57Good job of knowing the scouting court and the tendencies
47:00and what Bridges wanted to do.
47:03made him play against two guys in a crowd
47:06that gave it up to a guy that doesn't do anything off the drip.
