00:00Простбег Center in San Antonio
00:02Chicago Bulls in town to take on
00:04the San Antonio Spurs Nick
00:07Booker Rodney Mott and Daniel
00:09Scott your officiating crew
00:11tonight as the Spurs again come
00:13in two and a half games out of
00:15first place in the West and you
00:18come here to San Antonio coach
00:20you feel it the culture the
00:21presence this franchise what it's
00:23been well this is what the city
00:25is all about there is no football
00:27franchise there's no baseball
00:28team for the fans to go watch
00:30they watch the Spurs they live and
00:32die for the Spurs they appreciate
00:34their players and the players feel
00:37the same way about the people that
00:39support them second matchup of the
00:41season between these two but you
00:43got to go all the way back to
00:44November on November 10th when
00:46Bulls were actually up much of
00:48that game Spurs came back and won
00:50it by four snapped the six game
00:53winning streak for the Bulls much
00:56different looking team for
00:57Chicago with all that movement at the
01:00trade deadline and it is the Spurs
01:02who control the opening tap
01:03officials got to make sure he throws
01:04it high enough for women otherwise
01:06it's cheating them he's up there
01:08exactly quick turnover here comes
01:10Jones trail strong move at the hoop I
01:13have watched Trey Jones plate now
01:15probably four times this season and
01:17he has been simply spectacular
01:19shooting the basketball sixth year man
01:21out of Duke and maybe an underrated
01:23player on that Bulls team so you have a
01:25Selle trying to match up here it is at
01:27this end when Ben Yonah make it up look
01:30easy and the Bulls will have to make a
01:32decision if Wemby is posting up will
01:35they allow him to play one-on-one or
01:38will they come and try to get the ball
01:39out of his hands
01:41Jones had the screen didn't use it
01:43I took the Coro has started as of late
01:46for the Bulls
01:47whistle and a foul defensively on
01:50De'Aaron Fox and that's his first
01:52let's watch the ball goes into the low
01:54close right now you have some people
01:56kind of halving it not coming hard
01:58just reaching in you see
02:00bazellas try and help but the size
02:02advantage they're hoping the big thing
02:04will be the physicalness against
02:06Wemby everybody tries to play him
02:08physically I mean you know you can look
02:10at it as a coach you know it how many
02:12different ways you can try to defend
02:14him but he's got a number of different
02:16ways he can beat you know because what
02:18Mitch will do is a head coach will take
02:21him off the block and play him on the
02:23perimeter where he can make three point
02:25shot he can put it on the floor takes
02:27on one dribble to reach the rack so he
02:30beats you a lot of different ways seven
02:33foot four in his third year out of
02:35France and in many ways just touching
02:39the surface of what he's going to
02:41become anyone you talk to in the
02:43organization said this guy is all
02:45about winning all about team and go
02:48back to all-star weekend he was upset
02:50mad when his team lost those first two
02:53games you gotta love that in all-star
02:55weekend so free throw on it to one
02:59point edge for the Bulls coming in on
03:01the road last of a four-game road trip
03:03for Chicago in a span of six days
03:06Julian Champagne gives it to Wembe
03:08Yamaha fade away off the heel Josh
03:11Giddey the fifth year player out of
03:13Australia who's leading the way with
03:14Boozelis but part of that young girl
03:16straight to the hoop right past Wembe a
03:19great move by Bozelis showed it he got
03:22Wembe up in the air and then went full
03:24speed to the rack and finished it with a
03:26dunk quick timeout take it San Antonio
03:29Mitch Johnson says I don't like the way
03:30this one started and maybe send a
03:34message on the sideline especially
03:36defensively as Boozelis second-year
03:39man with a dunk history of this
03:43franchise and the NBA David Robinson in
03:46attendance tonight wearing the Spurs
03:47shirt wait a minute let me get this
03:49straight David Robinson Tim Duncan
03:52Victor Wembe and Yama five NBA
03:54championships so far something's going on
03:57pretty good Dearon Fox add his name to the
04:00list for the bucket that time down yet
04:03it's quite quite a history that they
04:04built and culture here in San Antonio
04:07and think about the beginning of the
04:10city this is a team that didn't make the
04:11playoffs hasn't made it in a while they
04:14knew they'd be good but with this young
04:15core and a superstar maybe surpassed your
04:20expectations for them it's getting knocks
04:22down to three yeah well they're not
04:24completely young and that's what you
04:26have to remember the guys like Kelvin
04:28Johnson who have been here in the
04:29seventh year how about getting the
04:31Aaron Fox that was a great deal put him
04:34online Harrison Barnes is still around so
04:36veteran guys to give guidance and
04:39leadership Castle Dylan Harper that
04:43that younger part of this team the
04:45Bulls by the way have started perfect
04:47three of three you make it three of four
04:49cleared by Wimby the cell on the run
04:54looking for space as the Bulls get back
04:56defensively castle has been so good in
04:59that connection and the foul you have a
05:01cell a down low on the bump would you
05:03like to be a guard we just throw it
05:05throw it up close to the room if it's
05:07around the rim heels gonna find it and
05:09probably finish it anywhere quite a
05:13target
05:15but they have done that so often this
05:18season sideline out of bounds 10 on the
05:22shot clock another example of when we
05:25build with his back to the basket
05:26couldn't make it but a little backup by
05:29Wimby he felt the pressure taking away
05:31the topside cuts we went back door the
05:34coral thought about it realized there was
05:36number one go to get picked his pocket
05:38Fox on the move swatted away by Giddy out
05:43of bounds
05:48so the four-point lead for the Bulls if
05:51we check out the Draft Kings and that
05:53Spurs obviously the favorite heavy
05:55favorite here at home
05:59you know what Chicago one of the beating
06:01Houston a couple games ago we see Wimby
06:03right there shoot it up over the top
06:05knocking down the mid-range jumper I was
06:08saying when Chicago upset Houston the
06:10other night they shot 50 from the floor 51
06:13from the three-point line and over 80%
06:16from the free-throw line that's a recipe
06:18for success Champagne hauls in the rebound
06:21gives it up to Victor Devin Bissell been in the
06:25starting lineup throughout try to work
06:28that screen with Wimby thought about the
06:30three for a moment good defense you have a
06:33to sell you that time five on the shot clock
06:39castle lost it to Jones Champagne not the
06:43first not the second but the third try up
06:46and in
06:46not allowed to play by yourself in this
06:49game
06:49throw off the glass go get it yourself
06:52throw it off again
06:53when that layup great work Jones to a Coral and
06:58the cut to the basket the Coral averages
07:02about nine points per game but more than
07:05that in the last couple of weeks about
07:0613-point shooting over 50 percent Champagne got the
07:18he's a pretty good shooter remember that he
07:20gave it up so that when we could finish
07:22it off at the rim when before of eight
07:25he's got eight in the game already never
07:28sell he was with the Knicks earlier in
07:29this season able to use the basket as a
07:32defender yes he did that rim protected
07:34it so when we didn't come across and get
07:36it
07:40castle up top whistle and a foul
07:45the spurs to the free throw line let's
07:48take a look when you drive the lane you
07:50have a choice you have a clear look at
07:52the baskets you have a big man named
07:56one by Yama to throw it up to one
07:58assist or you want a bucket so castle to
08:02the free throw line that lies spread again
08:04by the way DraftKings the number one
08:06sportsbook for live betting to get in on
08:08the action download the app and use
08:09promo code dump when you sign up
08:17Colin Sexton in off the bench for the
08:21Bulls seventh-year man out of Alabama
08:23came over in that trade in Charlotte in
08:26February they made seven moves right
08:29around the trade deadline after roster
08:32revamped to sell us with the miss to sell
08:36on the wrong trying to beat getting to
08:38the bucket
08:41the coral picks up when B got the height
08:44advantage pretty good defense that time
08:46and you see both teams played a very fast
08:49pace they want to get down the floor get a
08:51shot up and there's a seal taking away
08:53the cell up and under on the refers to
09:07to the spurs take the lead here in the
09:11first sexting cross-court giddy deep
09:14corner three no and you're right this
09:17thing's gone up and down or try to at
09:19least both teams want to push that pace
09:23Stephon castle such a big part of this
09:25lineup the box fights his way no but
09:30that's what he does yeah he's a fighter
09:32all the time he fights to get in the
09:34paint to get scores who fight you on the
09:36glass for an offensive rebound he's just a
09:39tough-minded hard-nosed young man the
09:42seller here comes Wendy wasn't even in the
09:45picture initially
09:48castle big step in the lane Fox on the
09:52follow-up timeout taking Billy down
09:54I thought Billy Donovan might say that
09:56when we had one hand on the rim and
09:58blocked the shot with the other hand he
10:00might have might have challenged it the
10:04defense at one end leading to the
10:06offense and the work on the offensive
10:08glass for this first point leads to
10:12Billy Donovan called the timeout to talk
10:14things over here's what we were talking
10:16about all the trade deadline moves I mean
10:18that's a lot of production you're giving
10:20up sending elsewhere and on the right is
10:22who they've picked up and by the way news
10:25from today bulls wave Jaden ivy for
10:27conduct both detrimental to the team
10:30earlier today ivy made anti-lgbtq comments
10:34on social media regarding the NBA
10:36recognizing Clydemont so he had been shut
10:40down because the injury already rehabbed his
10:42playing just four games for the Bulls but
10:46as a coach and you're Billy Donovan you're
10:48trying to deal with all those new faces
10:50midway through the season and if you
10:53remember four names on top they are
10:55pretty darn good players that were here
10:58in Chicago that are helping another team
11:00right now a coral with the three over
11:03Keldon Johnson who just checked in along
11:05with Luke Cornett for the Spurs that was
11:07one of the problems that they said were to
11:09call was in Cleveland he did not make
11:12enough of those perimeter shots to make
11:14him effective as a small forward but he got
11:16better shooting about 33 percent beyond
11:19the arc so far this season knocked out
11:22with nine on the shot clock stays at this
11:24end but for the Bulls not only all those
11:27moves midway through the season now you
11:29think about the end of the year and
11:30they've been eliminated from the playoffs
11:32already they've got a lot of decisions to
11:35make they got their own first-round pick
11:36they have a lot of free agents and they're
11:39going to have a lot of money to be able to
11:41use so this is kind of like a tryout for
11:44are you going to be a bull in the future
11:46based on what they do in these last ten
11:49games eight games remaining and a bucket
11:51at this end so Sexton buries that one to
11:56go up by three and Billy Donovan a big
11:59part of that and has been committed to the
12:03bulls bench and both management of Philly
12:05Donovan's an outstanding coach and
12:07nowhere along the way in his career
12:10have you ever heard players complain
12:12about Billy Donovan not say anything
12:14other than positive things about him
12:16he's got a way of communicating they
12:18believe in them he's an excellent coach
12:20and he wins wherever he goes
12:22Harper just checked in
12:24and reaches his body beautiful move body
12:26control for the rookie out of Rutgers
12:33he's zealous Boston for a moment
12:38penetration kick Miller from the deep
12:41corner no over Cornette here come the
12:44Spurs
12:48out to Harper yep left-hander got it
12:52that's what he could do he could people
12:54underestimated how good a three-point
12:56shooter he is particularly in the middle of
12:58the floor loves to come down and pop that
13:01one it's 53rd three of the year Sexton
13:04with the miss Johnson just bounces right off
13:08of Miller
13:08do not get in my way or you will bounce
13:11off of me and I will clear a pass to the
13:14basket I mean just bounced him right out
13:16of the way and the Spurs at home on a
13:197-0 run
13:2214 13 left in the first here but a
13:25reminder Peacock NBA Monday continuing
13:27with the Pistons and the Thunder
13:29tonight streaming live on Peacock so
13:32in just about an hour or so good lineup
13:35tonight in the NBA as we wind down this
13:37regular season approaching the playoffs
13:39Mike Patrick Williams in off the bench
13:44for the Bulls really only have say nine
13:49players who are available nearly half the
13:53roster injured oil shut it down for the
13:55season because of injuries Miller with
13:57the follow-off the Sexton miss let's
14:00remember Miller what job is so he's not
14:03able to play was played the center
14:04position for him over in that trade with
14:10Minnesota one of those on that list we
14:12just showed you Harrison Barnes just
14:14checks in
14:16one of those veterans that helped give
14:18leadership and they put them on the
14:19bench for a while so look we have to
14:21play some of these other guys will play
14:23him very well don't worry about it
14:25eventually you'll be back yeah what's
14:28starting the first half of the season
14:30at an injury miss in time comes off the
14:32bench now Cornette clears it here come the
14:35Spurs on the run again Johnson searching
14:43Harper over to Fox over Jones was little late
14:46didn't draw iron that time you talk about a
14:48Harrison Barnes though I think it's even
14:50more important with a team the the one
14:53thing you can look at and say to the
14:54Spurs have a chance to win a
14:55championship absolutely but this unit
14:58has not been there and gone through
15:00that well we see Miller to you know
15:02top of the circle and locks down that
15:04lefty jumper though you're right you
15:05talk about experience you don't know
15:07about the playoff pressure will the
15:09young guys be able to go through can
15:11you go through four rounds to win a
15:13championship by the way this is a
15:16pretty good pickup for net getting in
15:18rebound block shots he can make the
15:20shot Johnny up more well that was
15:24something that Stefan Castle told me this
15:26morning guys he said when you have
15:27someone like Harrison Barnes in your
15:29locker room I'm constantly asking
15:31questions talking through winning
15:32habits he said it is so invaluable when
15:36you can have those discussions it helps me
15:38every day Sexton kicks it back out
15:43the bulls four of nine from three point
15:46range inside this time for net with the
15:48clear Spurs have struggled a bit from
15:50beyond the arc one of five so far Fox
15:53trying to change that no still cold out
15:57there Chicago will take that all the
15:59times if they're cold from the three
16:00point line a long rebound will come off
16:02those long threes you get out in
16:04transition Jones off the glass and in
16:06nifty move inside in the paint
16:08Trey Jones is feeling really good about his
16:10offensive game so the Bulls have answered
16:13that 7-0 run with a 7-0 run of their
16:16own as the Spurs are shooting just under
16:18thirty-nine percent from the floor so
16:20far
16:22for net after little Gibson Johnson now
16:25that Spurs basketball drive the ball
16:27get the paint make a play either spray it
16:30drop rough to someone else or score
16:32yourself
16:37Jones around the screen gonna let it go
16:39yeah I got another one Trey Jones
16:45Harper
16:47that last step making it look easy
16:49they make me pay right away a great
16:51example of the pace they play out it
16:53came out of the net they took it out of
16:54bounds through it it pass up the court
16:56basket Jones been aggressive
16:59offensively here Johnson trying to stay
17:04with a coro looking for help backdoor
17:08baseline Jones for on the shot clock got
17:11to go Miller loses it scramble shot clock
17:17violation see a lot of hands in there for
17:20San Antonio knock on balls free to when
17:25Benyama comes back on the floor after
17:27getting a rest ten quick points for him
17:29in this one to go along with five
17:31rebounds early
17:41I'm gonna have to talk to him about I I think
17:43actually you need to offer some fashion
17:45advice I believe so
17:48Harper over Miller no still cold from
17:50beyond the arc
17:53tipped out stays here with San Antonio
17:57Johnson do zealous fighting for that
17:59rebound
18:02and you know what when we can wear
18:03whatever he wants to wear yeah okay
18:05don't get me wrong well I'm not upset
18:07with you okay
18:10here in Fox over to Johnson Kelvin got
18:14rattles at home over to zealous obviously
18:17one of the leaders for the sixth man of
18:20the year what happened an outstanding
18:21season really shooting the ball well
18:23this season got to be the favorite at
18:26this point you would think these guys
18:28making arguments but you would think so
18:30Bulls by the way started this game 52
18:33percent from the floor Jones trying to add
18:36to that nope
18:39and Wendy with the heave that'll do it
18:42here in the first been a good one both
18:45teams looking to go up and down
18:47Bulls coming in trying to hold it
18:50together pull off the upset off of
18:52losing three in a row and San Antonio
18:55trying to keep it going as we just
18:57getting started here in San Antonio
19:02and are here in San Antonio and the
19:04the Spurs up by one as we are on the verge
19:07of starting the second and check out this
19:09off the court report from John well Terry
19:12the Spurs have fantastic culture and
19:15that is evidenced by what happened ten
19:17nights ago here in San Antonio just
19:19twenty four hours after the Spurs
19:21clinched a playoff spot they were there
19:23for their teammate 15 year NBA that
19:25this mock beyond bow beyond bow has given
19:28back to his native Congo several times and
19:32this was the latest project the changing
19:34lives building futures gala which
19:36showcase 60 paintings by students ages
19:3912 to 18 from the title international
19:41school in Goma Congo allowed for kids
19:46artwork to be on display and then cause
19:48this friendly competition Kelvin Johnson
19:51bidding $15,000 and winning an auction
19:54for a painting of Muhammad Ali dear
19:57and Fox and Dylan Harper going for it
19:59going at it in the auction bidding and
20:02when this mock was asked about this by
20:03the media the last week he said this
20:05is who we are I sent one group text
20:08message about this outing I didn't
20:09know how many of my teammates would
20:10show up almost all of them were there
20:12and as a result thousands of dollars
20:15were raised for the underprivileged in
20:17Bionbo's homeland hey John that's so
20:20great on so many different levels
20:21Bionbo with the charity work obviously
20:24but it says a lot about this team that
20:27they immediately respond like that you
20:29talk about family atmosphere that's
20:31what the Spurs have always been about
20:33and are about now not dealing am on
20:37the floor for the Bulls now just
20:38checked in and Williams on the miss I
20:43know this stat is going to really
20:45really get you excited but here for the
20:47season the Spurs are the number one
20:49team in point differential at the end
20:52of the first quarter they've led by one
20:54at the end of this first quarter they
20:56are averaging plus 3.9 almost four
20:59points to end the first quarter I
21:01cannot contain my side I don't think
21:04if that abounds it'll be Bulls
21:06basketball but it is a mindset right
21:08and I have more to tell you at
21:10halftime so okay I'm waiting I got one
21:13good for you they've taken nine more
21:15shots in the game and some strength of
21:17eleven to two the edge and second
21:19chance point so far more field goal
21:21to tell three you have a chance to get
21:23more buckets killing and let's it go
21:26come in right in off the bench when
21:29Benyama is ninth rebound turnover at the
21:32other end because of the excellent job
21:35hustle by Williams to get a piece of that
21:37who's jealous didn't have a block but
21:39may have had a change certainly
21:40thinking about Wendy right there and
21:42that's the thing coach he can be on the
21:44weak side and he changes the shot well
21:46he plays the entire court where every
21:49stand he plays the whole court Barnes
21:51tipped up second time up and good
21:54Harrison Barnes one of the things
21:55Billy Donovan told us before the game
21:57is we're small we're small out there you
22:00see it right there Williams contact
22:05no call and getting who's just one of
22:08two he's got three points in the game
22:10little quiet so far for Josh coming off
22:14a big game in the last way no when be
22:18with the long arms just tipped it to
22:21himself double figures he's got a
22:24double double already points and rebound
22:30Williams trying to stay with him on the
22:31ISO well they got off the lane line at
22:34least fades away bulls come up with the
22:40rebound and because they had him push
22:42off the lane line nobody came to double
22:44team they just gambled on the fact that
22:47they could take away his airspace and
22:49have him miss a shot blocked by
22:51Wendy that's a second no chance to get
22:54that one up off the glass in there no
22:56he's upset with himself that after he
22:58blocked it it hit his hand that went
23:00out of bounds watch this I mean he
23:04didn't even go for it in the
23:05beginning and then it's like he said
23:06all right now we'll get the bottom I
23:08might as well yeah bulls 0 for 5 here
23:11in the second quarter as they just
23:13trailed by a point after one all
23:17those numbers I just said the double
23:18double by the way 10 points 10 rebounds
23:20for Wemby all in eight minutes
23:24okay

23:35Spurs save it
23:39Carter Bryant no the good young player
23:42off the bench lost it on the baseline
23:44gives it right to Miller
23:50Bryant a rookie out of Arizona in his
23:52first year really learning the league
23:54but making contributions for the Spurs
23:59Giddy operates spins contact no call
24:03got the bucket on the roll yeah Giddy
24:05thought he was hit across the arm was
24:07looking for that opportunity go to the
24:08foul line Giddy coming off a big game
24:10against Memphis a couple of nights ago
24:12had a triple double always having a
24:14very good season for Chicago and tied
24:17for second in the league in terms of
24:19triple doubles this year Harrison Barnes
24:22got the height advantage and a whistle
24:29and a foul I believe I'm doing it it is his
24:40first and the team's first
24:46Barnes in and out as we check out the
24:49upcoming national TV schedule NBC

25:07important to both of those teams
25:09Clippers trying to stay in that eighth
25:11position or get to seven if they can
25:13cut into the three-game lead that
25:15Phoenix has over him but meanwhile
25:17Portland would like to move up into
25:19that eighth spot pretty amazing what
25:21the Clippers have done number six and
25:23twenty-one I had three other games
25:25early on and and like what they're
25:27over 500 Ty Lou the head coach said we
25:31could be back over 500 again and
25:33everybody raised their eyebrows yeah said
25:36what killing it over flying quick
25:41trigger that time no you have a silly
25:43fight somebody for the rebound in out
25:48gave it right back to Barnes when
25:50beyond the plate leading it that a
25:55different version of Magic Johnson
25:57just a little bit bigger leading the
26:00break big Webby just just a little
26:02bigger never sell a thought twice
26:08because so did Miller Sexton short
26:12when the halls in another rebound spurs
26:19dominant in the paint and Penny with a
26:21nice little floater off the glass and in
26:23twenty-six to fourteen that edge in the
26:27paint for the Spurs Miller quickly to
26:31the dunk before when we could get there
26:33yeah if you could throw it down with
26:34two hands before when we recovers
26:36that's a good thing second-year man
26:40averaging just under ten a game this
26:42year and forced into action for the
26:45Bulls when being changed hands off the
26:48glass no starts the break for the Bulls
26:52block by Castle what a block what a
26:57pass what a gun put a fast break
27:01sometimes when you're last in
27:02transition defense you're first on the
27:04fast break when we were twelve in the
27:09game as Miller lets it go got it just
27:12beyond the three point line and San
27:15Antonio takes the time out Bulls

28:15president for a lot of years by the
28:17way out of Owens Castle threw it away
28:19so Bulls take control Leonard Miller
28:22big off the bench by the ways and
28:24double figures with 10 already for
28:27Chicago going back to work now on
28:30Cornette as Wemby sits getting from
28:33the corner got it this time he's got eight
28:36in the game I tell you all these areas
28:38of like effort effort things rebound
28:41San Antonio 24 14 points in the paint
28:44San Antonio 28 16 second chance point
28:4813 to fast break point center San Antonio
28:51is dominating it all except it's the
28:53three-point line for Chicago that's
28:56making the difference and keeping this
28:57game close like it is champagne got one
29:00at the other and he is their leading
29:01three-point shooter this year Sexton
29:04little bit strong to the bowl seven of
29:07twenty from beyond the arc so far
29:10Spurs have gotten it up and down the
29:12floor though fast break points out
29:15scoring the Bulls by eight getting the
29:18rebound off the miss here comes Chicago
29:22quick change of pace got it to Miller
29:25off the glass Sexton back to Miller on
29:30the cut the roll this is the time you
29:33could take advantage of going to the
29:35rim because when they catch a little
29:37bit of a break not that corner can't
29:39block shots but he's not as active as
29:41when Miller over his average he's got
29:4412 in the game already the hassle had
29:46plenty of times squared up knocked it
29:48down he's coming off a triple-double
29:53against the Bucks a couple of nights
29:54ago Giddy got hit we'll go to the
30:01free-throw line champagne I believe
30:05called on the reach no the cell called
30:11for the file
30:17the court and off the court the last
30:20three seasons coach so I guess
30:23opponents realize that when he's off
30:25the court he can't block the shot from
30:27the bench so the realization it's a
30:29good advantage of it and they're all
30:31going to the rim right away with the
30:33basketball I mean the Bulls certainly
30:36more aggressive driving in the paint
30:38without him in there the last couple
30:40of possessions Harper comes back on
30:44the floor for the Spurs but giddy who
30:50averages about seventeen points per
30:52game they're leading scorer leading
30:53rebounder leading assist man second
30:56and three pointers throughout the
30:57year this is the second and has been
31:05really good despite all of the turnover
31:08roster wise can't be easy to handle as
31:10player forget about being a coach
31:12Cornette off the dish
31:15it's a small team and but you're
31:18correct it really isn't he's been very
31:20very good consistently even with the
31:22turnover and personnel remember it's a
31:24system that he's a large part of why
31:27they play the way they do of coming back
31:29at your fast attacking quickly
31:31because she's so good at it
31:39the situation is yes we've got some
31:43guys who are auditioning for
31:44positions going forward but he told
31:47his guys you can't just show up each
31:50day thinking about yourself if you're
31:52gonna earn your spot and if you're
31:54going to show what you're capable of
31:56we've got to play team basketball
32:00so castle hits two in a row from long
32:02range but Harper just bailed them out
32:05you have a celly fading away deep on
32:08the three there when you talked about
32:10the playoffs and this San Antonio
32:11team if castle make shots like that
32:15then they're going to be so dangerous
32:18that's the one thing people who
32:20challenges his ability to make shots
32:23from the perimeter he is so good at
32:25getting to the paint that's what he
32:27wants to do getting the paint
32:28overpower his defender he starts
32:30making perimeter shots you've got a
32:32real headache because then what do you
32:35do said his last two is two for two
32:38from beyond the arc tonight that's yet
32:41another threat for San Antonio the
32:44challenge and you talk to Mitch
32:45Johnson I mean all coaches worry about
32:47everything but he said I don't have a
32:50foundation to change things in the
32:54minds of my guys and say the playoffs
32:57are different you're not going to be
32:58able to get away with this or that
33:00come playoff time because they
33:01haven't been there a couple out but
33:04don't get me wrong but overall this
33:06first team it's exactly you know I
33:10mean it's accurate because you don't
33:11have playoff experience until you get
33:13to the playoffs then when you start to
33:15get to the playoffs on a regular basis
33:17you pick up those games of experience
33:22castle in the way this time different
33:24side of its game offense and that's
33:26where he wants to get to and that's
33:27where he's so comfortable and over
33:29powers most of the guards that play
33:31against them double figures with 11 so
33:34far and that lead up day Trey Jones
33:39back on the floor going to work who
33:40sell us also back out there five on the
33:45shot clock tray up and under Harper
33:47slots it starts the break for San
33:50Antonio stopped along the baseline
33:57swing it castle not this time here
34:02comes a coral modest booth sell us using
34:09the screen they get the switch inside
34:14out Williams as they recover he traveled
34:17out walking violation gives it back to the
34:20spurs number one of the things that
34:25Billy Donovan mentioned to us the
34:27turnovers have been a problem for them
34:29if this team is going to grow and
34:32develop they've got to reduce the
34:34number of turnovers so they get
34:35possessions and can shoot the
34:37basketball right now there's six field
34:40bowl attempts behind San Antonio in this
34:43game the cell from Wembe tipped up foul on
34:48the rebound says I was shooting I was
34:54tipping it go to the line get a break in
34:56the action PGA Tourism town this week

35:39American Express at the half I'm at
35:41three Evan Turner John karate in the
35:44studio breaking it all down Billy
35:46Donovan speech at halftime is going
35:48to be about guys shooting 40% is not
35:50going to get it done against this
35:53person just 16 or 40 they started out
35:56the game making shots now all of a
35:58sudden they've gone cold cold second
36:02quarter for the Bulls so far here
36:03comes Jones at 5 of 19 since they
36:06started 11 inch of 21 Miller who's
36:09he's been really good over Wimby the
36:12outstretched arm continues to be hot
36:15six of seven in the game
36:24Stephon castle the cell tried to get
36:27the log they got it off the deflection
36:30it's as easy it's going to do it all
36:32night as you said they tried to lob it
36:35got deflected by one of the bull players
36:37his hands got up there but then it
36:39landed in Wimby's hand took a detour to
36:42get there but eventually it did
36:44Williams with the miss here comes
36:46Johnson on the run who sell us no
36:49call tipped up there is on the rebound
36:53Okoro with the foul his second times
36:58things just fall in your hands there's
37:00the deflection Dr. Sully except it
37:03winds up going to Wimby
37:07watch this web becomes challenges just
37:10misses it Miller gets it up over the
37:13top produce and here's the thing he was
37:15like eight to ten feet away from it and
37:17almost got it that's scary double digit
37:24lead for the Spurs Miller on the reach
37:29and I don't want to lessen the effect that
37:32San Antonio's defense has had on
37:35Chicago's shooting they started out hot
37:37then Mitch Johnson called the time out
37:40the defense picked up its intensity and
37:42now all of a sudden they've got Chicago
37:44shooting 17 for 42 just 40 percent
37:52and the chance in here the MVP chance
37:58and SGA I know and others but hard to
38:02argue with this man being right there
38:06for that award this team does have 56
38:09wins right now that's pretty good that
38:10yes and he pointed that out when asked
38:14it wasn't him talking before being asked
38:16but he pointed that out and the
38:18defensive side of it factoring in and
38:21the success of the team this year too
38:27big first half for that man 18 points
38:3211 rebounds and a couple of blocks and
38:34how many changed shots so far
38:38he's zealous Miller has been the bright
38:44spot off the bench offensively five on
38:46the shot clock Trey Jones kicking it back
38:50still hot in and out almost in again
38:53and he didn't have to rush that one it
38:56might have got in but he saw Webby
38:57coming at him and the reach as Castle
39:02pressed the issue again Okoro picks up
39:05another one five team fouls they'll go to
39:08the free throw line in the way so
39:17Castle a 73 percent free throw sure do
39:20you think about all the different
39:21things he does he was the rookie of
39:24the year now in his second year
39:26buddy Yukon the defense no question
39:30about it we saw him with the threes
39:32if he can add that consistently to his
39:35game but he also leads him in assists
39:36over seven a game and one of the
39:40hardest working players they have with
39:41this on their team comes before
39:44practice stays after practice not that
39:47people have a whole lot of practices
39:48down days anymore but once in a while
39:51there's a practice 13 five and four for
39:54for Castle who's zealous Miller thought
40:04about challenging but no under a minute
40:09to go here in the second two on the
40:12shot clock Miller left wide open it
40:16halfway down how did that stay out
40:23Johnson they just make you pay to
40:26when be off the dribble find that a
40:28teammate under the basket for the
40:30assist 8-0 run for the Spurs it's
40:34been that type of game back and forth
40:35a game of runs Bulls answered that
40:387-0 run initially you could
40:41understand why to beat this first you
40:44have to have an excellent perimeter
40:46shooting night against them because
40:47you get the scourge so many times from
40:50trying to take it into the paint from
40:52trying to attack the rim because of
40:55Victor Wemba Joplin Harper second
40:58they had a foul to give but that lead
41:01just like that up to 16 you have a
41:07to sell it as the Bulls are six of 24
41:09in this second quarter knocked out
41:14going to stay here 3.9 at the strong
41:21start offensively and here's have
41:24just gone cold in the second quarter
41:27Jones high off the glass and in Trey
41:30Jones think about what your thought
41:33process must be you go into the rack
41:36and you're saying Victor is somewhere
41:37how high do I have to shoot it above
41:40the square I might not see it but I've
41:42got to get it high off the glass and
41:44he closes out their possession with a
41:47three a coral trying to close out the
41:50half of the bucket talk about high in
41:52the air and that'll do it when
41:57Benyama 21 points 12 rebounds in 15
42:01minutes here in the first half and the
42:03big man teeing it up moves over one
42:06dribble to the left gets himself in
42:08rhythm you see the follow-through he
42:10knocks it down bucket for Wemba Yama
42:12big time second quarter for San
42:15Antonio here at home 64 to 47 over the
42:20Bulls as we send it over to John here
42:26with Stephon Castle Steph you held them
42:29to seven of 26 from the floor in the
42:32second quarter what you guys do
42:34defensively that led to success we're
42:36trying to keep Vic low keep them from
42:38getting rhythm catching through threes and
42:40then playing in transition and making
42:41them play against our half court when
42:43Victor Wemba Yama is doing everything
42:45that you just watched in the first 24
42:47minutes what can you say I think when
42:50he's playing like that we're we're a
42:52very high-level team and we're pretty
42:53hard to beat Stephon Castle thanks
42:56yes sir here we go yeah big first half

43:03Wemba and rolling here in the second
