00:00or in the G League now ready to jump it up and the Knicks win the opening half
00:06and Chag Pisach Sameach for those of you who are observing Passover I know my
00:15Hebrew's a little rusty over the top Ananobi I didn't know what it happened
00:23first night of Passover so welcoming our Jewish fans to the game tonight
00:29Coward takes up slack sends it can't score it and rebound to Ananobi
00:33Nicks losing last night 111 94 in Houston it was a bad offensive night for that
00:38well in fact the back games over the Grizzlies defense where the opposing team
00:41has started the game out with a dunk so the Grizzlies want to do a little bit
00:45better interior wise fortunate perimeter shots at Alvarado knocks that one down
00:51Alvarado 12 points last night getting the start because Brunson he's out of the
01:04game
01:05Spencer and Gigi Jackson against Mikel Bridges step back three by Gigi is right through
01:10making a fine three count
01:12Nicks last night they were out score 37 21 in the first quarter and it didn't get a
01:19whole lot better they shot about 43 percent to the floor
01:21they were like to slow starts I play them here lately the one thing they would like to do is
01:26get
01:27off to a better start
01:28I want that move by Gigi Jackson there on the pullback step back three and Ananobi is fouled
01:35Cedric Coward and I believe this will be a three-shot style
01:41take a look at Gigi Jackson here good defense by Bridges there they had a little stymie
01:45but reverse between the legs step back three and then on this end you see easy call there
01:52Cedric Coward the arm to the forearm
01:56so Ananobi gets three at the line
01:59and Ananobi 82 percent from the free throw line
02:03to give you an idea some context on where the Knicks are they're third in the east they're two
02:07and a half games behind Boston
02:08Knicks lead the season series but they have one more game coming up that will be at Madison Square Garden
02:14they are just one game ahead of Cleveland in fourth now if they were to end up in the current
02:193-6 matchup they'd face Toronto we'll see them at the end of this homestand
02:25Knicks have won that season series 4-0 over Toronto
02:29well and the thing is just take a look at Mike Brown there
02:31Knicks new head coach the thing for the Knicks is you might not mind
02:36dropping down to fourth and having in the second round if you should make it to the second round
02:41you would then play against the Detroit Pistons instead of playing against the Boston Celtics in that second round
02:48if things go as it should play out
02:52Omax got fouled by Ananobi
02:55so two free throws coming for Olivier Maxens Prosper who averaged 14 points per game in the month of March
03:02Ananobi takes the worst of this you see right there the knee
03:05into the sternal area as he tries to come over to help defensively
03:10one of the things you need to know about this Knicks team is that they rely very heavily on their
03:15starters
03:15bench contribution
03:16Bench contribution fairly nominal
03:18but this is the second night of a back-to-back and the Knicks are 6-6 on the second
03:23night of back-to-backs
03:27well a good thing for the Knicks you never say good but with some of these guys missing some of
03:32these back-to-backs
03:33they need to start to get others immersed onto the offensive side but also just in the game in general
03:39because
03:39a big issue for the Knicks is that they rely heavily on their starters they don't get a lot from
03:46their bench
03:47they don't play a lot of guys from their bench and so in these instances Mike Brown would like to
03:51find
03:52some guys who can be A's to the starting unit from off of the bench
03:57And Ananobi was trying to feed it and then lost the handle
04:00Couch double team six to shoot look at the double team
04:03good Javon small and can't spin
04:05blocked by Omax
04:09run out opportunity Gigi Omax down the lane banking it in
04:13to make it a one-point game Omax got the block and the finish on the other end
04:17nice of Gigi to reward him with the basket after he ran so hard after the block
04:23spoken like a point guard that award the big guy for running the floor which is the right thing to
04:28do
04:28you want him to keep playing big for you all night Barton set those screens bridges to the rim
04:34bridges only seven points last night against Houston that's about half the season average
04:44there's the other issues for the Knicks sometimes in Carl Anthony Townsend
04:48Javon small trying to reverse it got plowed
04:52into the deck by Towns and so free throws coming for Javon small
04:58to see here is
05:00reaction there by Omax to get the block initiates why don't I give it back to him
05:05and this is not an easy finish at all the contact there was still able to finish
05:09one thing you talk about with Omax maximum effort and energy every night
05:15here's a guy who signed as a two-way and the Grizzlies made it a
05:19full standard NBA contract later in the year and it has been so well deserved for him
05:25he can help this basketball team next season also this and there should be no question of
05:34how he can help this Grizzlies squad we always talk about them needing the size of the wing position
05:39more athleticism well he provides all of those started 20 straight games until missing the phoenix game on
05:48Monday Grizzlies losing 131 to 105 outscored 40 to 16 in the fourth quarter
05:59Alvarado directing traffic off the ball Towns backdoor cut Ananobi and he does
06:05good job timing on the cut the baseline came to double good job Ananobi Grizzlies just couldn't get
06:11back quick enough Ananobi with seven early
06:20deflected by Hart gathered in by Small works for the baseline trying to get away from Hart steps through
06:27and Omax corner three off the heel
06:30the rebound tipped into the hands of Ananobi
06:33Bridges on the run out a scoop and a score for Mikkel Bridges
06:36another one of guys though that day was like to have a consistent beat from him on the offensive end
06:44talk about consistency 633rd consecutive game play for him Howard is fouled
06:51and there are there's no other streak longer than about 175 games in terms of consecutive games played
06:58and Bridges he is there every single night he hasn't missed a game in his NBA career
07:06just you when you think of that part in this day and age for a player to play every game
07:13like his career number one just the luck of not getting injured right that's that is first and foremost
07:19because a lot of times injuries happen by happenstance you you you don't do anything to make it happen
07:25step on somebody's foot and turn an ankle and he's a defender he's a guy that's involved in plays he's
07:30not a
07:31guy that just wanders and stays on the outside doesn't get himself involved in rebounding and so it is
07:36astounding that that hasn't happened and it's also a credit to the work that he puts in during
07:43and in the offseason to keep himself ready and able to play these minutes the second longest streak
07:48is julian champenny with 178 straight heart out of the corner for three
07:58heart 41 percent from beyond the arc triple z nicks up six tyler burton has come on along with
08:04walton clay jr block and here comes alvarado back the other way
08:13bridges and the quick start that mike brown wanted is in effect right now 20 to 11.
08:21nicks got a fast start back on november the 11th at madison square garden they led it 42 30 after
08:27one quarter nicks also with 22 threes in that game burton the green bango tyler burton
08:37three from the three-point line here to start
08:46bridges with the handle alvarado omacs with the deflection burton with the save
08:52all max another good defensive play forcing to turn over tower down the lane a backhanded layoff
08:58dances and drops
08:59about that finish first again the great defense by omacs and then towers creating when that drop to the
09:08basket
09:12alvarado averaging six a game here with new york
09:18he's hurt the grizzlies in a couple of games this year with new orleans
09:21harton the elbow jumper and harton going well early he's got five
09:29this is 16 state of nine
09:33powered rhythm three
09:36rebound omacs powered locked by town picked up by hart
09:46alvarado towns
09:48towns missed the easy one but alvarado hustles the offensive rebound
09:55towns
09:57taking time out here
09:59knicks nine of 11 to start last night the knicks could not find the basket in space city 34 a
10:07game in
10:07the last two for jermaine mayshack including 37 minutes and a 14-point effort against phoenix 14
10:14more points than rob fisher has in that game yeah well he can keep that streak alive tonight too
10:21coach iselo during that time out he said we got to pick it up defensively a little bit now the
10:25grizzlies with the lineups that they have on the floor on most nights here recently they're switching
10:29one through five everybody's switching at all times he said during these last couple of sequences
10:34we've screwed up on switching and we're messing up our switches right now we've got to pick it up on
10:39that end of the floor knicks start this game nine of eleven from the field and tyler burton's going to
10:44get two at the line here on the josh hartfowl
10:47landry shamit tyler kolek and jordan clarkson into the game off the new york knick bench
10:55shamit started the first meeting between these two teams
10:58and he's coming back from some issues with his knees so he's back but having a career year nine and
11:07a half points per game i don't want this sam will be a shooter but the one guy who they
11:11will love
11:12to really be unlocked is jordan clarkson if they could get the jordan clarkson from the utah jazz
11:18with the way that he was able to come off the bench and ignite their team with his scoring ability
11:24something that they would love to be able to happen with regularity in the garden yeah clarkson a
11:29former six man of the year the first utah jazz player to earn that distinction file on mate shack
11:35but this year clarkson is shooting just 34 from three and he's averaging only nine points per game very
11:42un-clarkson like numbers adama ball is in for the grizzlies grizzlies an all bench unit
11:48burton clayton ball may shack and dekey jerome still by may shack
11:59wait a step back three bango
12:03well you talked about walter clayton i thought the game against phoenix 11 and seven dimes in 30 minutes
12:09might have been one of his better performances since joining members i thought his best all-around game and
12:14and and it wasn't just the numbers it was this presence on the floor that you could feel when he
12:20was out there clarkson was trying to feed the post they've got the mismatch
12:26it's at topside colic the three tyler coleck in the second season out of marquette
12:35this team just feels comfortable from the three-point line against the grizzly ball
12:40can't knock down that corner three coleck with the rebound
12:45it's the next team 37 percent from three that's fourth best in the nba
12:50they don't rely heavily on the three but when they shoot it they shoot it well
12:55and may shack and towns tie up that'll be a foul on may shack that will be number two on
13:03him but
13:04here's walter clayton a step back three you notice the mismatch for carl anthony towns drove him back
13:11and is able to step back to cleanse himself for that three
13:18towns and you see may shack tying him up
13:21the elbow on the move to the basket but the one thing i say is you have small guys
13:30defending big guys but these are big guys defending big guys those aren't your elbows
13:36aren't in the same place on the body as opposed to when it's young guys so on a regular move
13:41for a big
13:42guy small guys heads right elbow level yeah where if there was another big it would be more chest level
13:49right so the grizzlies had to do a good job of you defending don't stick your head too close
13:55keep your head back yeah here's what i'm telling you hey back yes protect yourself at all times body
14:00head back okay got it got it ariel huck porty about to check in for the new york knicks
14:14downs 86 percent from the free throw line had his best shooting month in the month of march
14:20just under 56 percent from the floor knicks went 10 and 6 in the month of march
14:28the lead is eight they've led it by as many as nine and they are 10 of 12 from the
14:33floor
14:38shot clock down to five plate sets up perched angle three shot down another one tyler burton
14:45two for two from the long line and he's shooting 32 percent in his tenure with the grizzlies after a
14:51very slow start he had this slow short slow start a couple games but since finding the range he had
14:58been on point nice back door cut good deep as a lot of grizzlies is not enough to be able
15:04to get the stop
15:05nicks out scoring the grizzlies 12-4 in the painted area jerome a little floater
15:12and it's boarded by town
15:21town's first rebound of the game and he's going to rumble his way to the rim for two and a
15:25chance
15:26for three he leads the knicks in and one opportunities and conversions he also leads the nba an offensive
15:34fouls committed just going to throw that in there yeah well here the screen set grizzlies don't do a
15:40good job of talking out the screen situation and you see the hit to the top of the head easy
15:46and one for cat
15:48and burton picks up the foul towns back to the free throw line
15:55yours is deeper just has not been able to slow down the knicks offense at all here
16:00the starters and the knicks are 12 or 14 from the field 404 from the three-point line and six
16:08of six
16:09from the free throw line so all of what went wrong last night has been right it has been fixed
16:15ball corner
16:16three rebound run down by shabbat but then he loses it out of bounds this is a nick team that
16:24averages 29 and a
16:25half points in first quarters and that's with jalen brunson second leading first quarter score
16:29at a little more than nine a game or nine per first quarter
16:35so hukporti into the game and towns goes to the bench
16:40hukporti's been playing in west westchester along with the knicks averaging 19 a game
16:47there's rick brunson this is the coach for the knicks under jalen brunson
16:54form an mba one guard walter clayton got by shabbat burton will try again this this time
17:02loose ball to the floor picked up by hukporti and nearly stolen by burton
17:07it'll be nick ball at the timeout on the floor 244 for the first paul nicks 86 is us okay
17:17so shout
17:18out to everybody in japan i thought you know what i thought tonight was going to be a light night
17:26maybe not have the same but because you told me that i'm ready to bring it jordan clarkson's ready
17:32to bring it out of the timeout the knicks have been bringing it since the ball was thrown up and
17:37the grissy's defense is going to find a way to slow them down and offensive foul dekey jerome
17:43he caught clarkson with the elbow
17:49well i think the knicks are responding to their fan base thinking the sky is falling because they've
17:55lost three in a row now their offense has not been good the last three games but it's really good
18:00tonight
18:02they they definitely realize that they're going to have to have the offense event come around in
18:09some way shape or form if they're going to make a run in the eastern conference which has become
18:14very very tight in terms of contenders
18:20hukporti misses get his own and he'll go to the free throw line
18:31hukporti will have a night off with mitchell robinson not playing now mitchell robinson an elite level
18:39offensive rebounder hukporti 75 from the free throw line he makes and now this from terminates
18:56the other thing too that this knicks team wants to get corrected they have the biggest difference
19:01between their home win percentage and road win percentage the 27 to 9 at the garden they're just 20 and
19:0819 away from msg
19:12but the hiring of mike brown
19:14i mean mike brown's been successful pretty much everywhere he's been
19:19clayton for three
19:21what do you know you want to worry about it the experience
19:24which he has because there are very few that has the experience that he had with multiple teams
19:30being successful bob hukporti finally gathers it in and then banks it in
19:37there's some games and some some situations where the size is just too much hukporti's size a little
19:44blush for the grizzlies camp spencer's back in knocked down a three camp spencer fourth best
19:50three-point shooter by percentage in the nba and having one of the very best seasons
19:56getting the start tonight but as a bench player hukporti and one
20:03hukporti the 58th overall pick of the 2024 nba draft out of germany
20:11nice finish here but you don't stand over a six foot three point guard like you just did something
20:18i mean you 7-1 however tall he is you should be able to finish over a guard that is
20:25then at the at
20:25the basket trying to stop him he didn't even dunk he just laid it in yeah hukporti with seven his
20:33career high is 12. he did that at washington earlier this season spencer flares it out
20:40mayshank comes topside and walter playton jr travels with the basketball second turnover for the grizzlies
20:52i also get the sense that this knicks team knowing that they were not going to have jalen brunson
20:56tonight said okay everybody's got to do a little bit more tonight
20:59i think they also realize it's a different level in playing against the houston rockets yes
21:06because they played against last night
21:11kolek driving
21:14shabit finds an open clarkson little ball fake and a flip that falls for jory clarkson
21:21i can say another thing about the bridges back quarter you go back to the 40 16 deficit in the
21:28last game 45 given up here so far now they had 42 in the first quarter back in november
21:39spencer driving clayton's three is through
21:47he continues to shoot it well two of three from him from a three-point line
21:53three seconds remaining in the period shabit for three it's through it is a 48 point quarter
21:59that is the 21st nick quarter of 40 or more points that's third most in the nba denver's recorded 22
22:08san antonio has recorded 21 and the knicks have now tied them with their 21st 40 point quarter
22:17i've been doing this a long time brev i've never seen a team shoot 81 percent in a quarter
22:22highest single quarter points conceded in grizzlies franchise history back on february 20th of 2025
22:30they conceded 50 at indiana it's the most ever in franchise history allowed in a first quarter
22:36and the most points allowed in a quarter in a home game a gg jackson three is through now the
22:43grizzies are seven of 14 from three they've only made two shots that were not three point makes
22:48the thing is you will look up and say you get 30 in the first quarter you'll feel good
22:52about their offense the problem is they could not feel good about their defense at all
22:59and anobie bridges coleck huck 40 and the awara in for the first time tonight
23:08huck 40 on a back pound and a punch out rebound picked up by spent uh by uh powered and
23:15he's on the
23:16floor with spencer small prosper and jackson and javon drawing the foul from ariel huck 40
23:30first look at mohammed diawara as well let's uh it won't be our first look it's one of many from
23:36rob fisher well you were talking about it coach not being happy with the defense and that was
23:39certainly the case during that last time out and it made it very clear that he wasn't happy with the
23:43defense one of the biggest things just too easy around the basket for the new york knicks at this
23:48point 22 paint points for the knicks in that first quarter of their 48 points and 17 of 21 from
23:54the field
23:5581. uh those are numbers that are just staggering grizzlies but conversely just four pain points on
24:01the other end yeah total domination by the knicks to this point they've had lulls offensively so the
24:10grizzies just put up a a battle and fight force a miss the issue is when they force the miss
24:16can they
24:17get a clean defensive rebound so they can run coleck misses the three hot 40 offensive rebound quick flip out
24:23two we won and only going out of bounds the grizzlies the highest field goal percentage allowed in a quarter
24:3187 and a half percent and that's happened three times the last time was 2010 against new orleans
24:42gie jackson off the bounce tuck 40 with the block
24:49record brock the ball yeah brandon adair pointed the wrong way this should be grizzly ball
24:57Oh
25:08Really partner honestly
25:10This little one off with Gigi's younger that after that we look at that
25:13Yeah, it was black line of 40, but it may have such Gigi on the way out if you ran
25:17under there was right in the first place
25:18In any event six to shoot Spencer driving offensive foul
25:25Spencer the offensive foul
25:29This is right on right there. Yeah and bridges veteran move clamps down to make sure the official season
25:46Bridges foul and it goes
25:52Camp Spencer picks up another foul
25:54Well, the issue is once with the Grizz especially with this backcourt when they have to switch the switch inside
26:01Still had Javon small trying to defend on the interior you have cam trying to get back to a bigger
26:06player on the move
26:07And so it just puts them in a bad position
26:11Defensively to try to slow down this extremely hot New York Knicks offense
26:19They just converged the three-point play if he won 34 the count
26:27Spencer drop-off
26:30Prosper couldn't finish but drew the file from a 40
26:33It'll be his second foul and free throws coming for Omax
26:38Nice little drop pass here and then good job Omax
26:41Attacking the body of huck 40 not going away from him so he can use his length and size to
26:47try to get a block attempt
26:50Omax shoots two at the line
26:54Seventy-six percent from the stripe on the season
27:01And the Grizzlies
27:03Now ten of eleven from the free throw line. Knicks are a perfect ten of ten three for shooting and
27:07that's been a problem for either team, but
27:10Mike Brown prepping like you said history of success wherever he's gone. He's been really really good and
27:17Again another mysterious
27:19Firing by the Sacramento Kings for a guy who really knows how to coach yeah, and the thing for Mike
27:24Brown
27:25I think he the other thing is he'll know how to deal with adversity so and this big team has
27:30been through adversity already this season
27:31So there's you like to have a guy who's there is the other one there goes down easily inside for
27:39Kola getting to the pain of there you like to have a guy that's sitting at the end of it
27:43who can handle all situations for your players
27:48Devon small splitter is good
27:52We're talking about the Knicks in the three-game losing streak all losses by double digits held to under 105
27:58points in their last five games on the road
28:02And there's Mohamed Dio Wara played in Paris for sure lay basket
28:12International flavor here for this New York's big team on the floor man. Yeah, but 40s it from Germany
28:19And now a run out and Dio Wara with another bucket the Grizzlies will take a timeout here
28:285738 haven't happened at ease partner slash project
28:32All right, Zach Myers from shinedown local hero big Grizzlies fan
28:37And he is in the building tonight
28:42It's one thing when you talk to people around the league they say they love coming to FedEx Forum because
28:46of the musical scene around here
28:49Of course you got the house band here Lucas Williamson out of Loyola of Chicago
28:53And the G League is in for the first time and he missed that last shot and Mikkel Bridges and
28:59man
28:59The Knicks six of sevens from three and they're still shooting
29:0379% from the floor so a lot of time partner when you talk about guys being hot you're talking
29:07about individuals that are being hot nice move here by D.D. Jesse
29:11For this first two quarters and three and a half minutes. We're talking about an entire team
29:19Continuing to be hot. Yes
29:21Bridges is five for five for example. He has 13 wrap around towns back in patting his rebounding stats trying
29:28to fight his way free puts it up and in
29:33So it's town bridges collect Shabbat and the awara for the Knicks
29:41Bridges defending small gets picked off Gigi working the baseline against towns for two
29:49Jackson doing a great job being able to finish going to the basket
29:54And Colic is tripped
29:57I'm going to call this on Cedric Coward
30:01Cowards second foul was the second foul of the period
30:05Here by Gigi Jackson to be able to avoid the defender
30:10change the angle of the shot
30:12We'll still be able to finish going against six-time all-star and Karl-Anthony towns
30:17A good start for D.C. Go four or five for him on the floor
30:22Perfect on the three-point line
30:25Good defense by Ole Max
30:27Ole Max to knock away
30:28Small great look ahead to Williamson for two
30:31Lucas Williams inside to a 10-day
30:34Started the season with the Memphis Hustle then he was traded to the Windy City Bulls
30:38He's averaging seven a game in G League competition this year
30:43Ripping pass there by Javon Small
30:45Threading the needle
30:48Colec driving
30:49Shamit swings it bridges it had the hot hand finally misses one to Colec an offensive rebound
30:57Towns
30:58Barreling his way inside and a foul on Gigi Jackson
31:01Now that would look more like an elbow prone here by Karl-Anthony Town
31:10Chris is going to challenge the other the defensive foul ball
31:21He's called timeout to challenge Eric Lewis John Butler and Sheree Mitchell so offensive foul on Karl-Anthony Towns
31:30That is his second foul of the game
31:33Alvarado back in the game a coward three off the back iron and it's boarded by Towns
31:39It's going to a little bit of a zone here coming out of that timeout
31:45The Grizzly able to handle Towns with this lineup on the floor the double-teamed man, but
31:51Cover up Sam and Andrews on a ribbon because the players are so much smaller towns
31:56Even though the devil is there. He just looks right over the top of everything
32:04Coward got by Hart for two
32:08You look at the players the Grizzlies have available and
32:13Omax is the tallest of six seven
32:16Along with Tyler Burton
32:18You don't have Taylor Hendricks tonight
32:20He's six nine they give you a little bit more size and now pick up by Mayshaq
32:26He's a little bit more size and now we're trying to save on the sideline the Grizzlies turn it over
32:30and then the Knicks turn it over
32:36See here, but you see I'm saying look he's just looking over the top you see he sees everything
32:40They don't they're not a big deterrent there. And so
32:44Shaman has an easy one at the front of the rim
32:48Nick's already 32 paint points
32:53Coward for two of the baseline
32:56Have to rely on said here offensively
33:00But it was
33:01Howard with eight G.D. Jackson 10 and she's on the bench at the moment
33:08How the drop-off
33:11No bridges bridges with 15 on the night. He's already topped his average
33:23Ball will try a three and knock it in a Dama ball
33:27Santa Clara by way of Lamar France
33:31Alvarado feeling extra past sham its three is through
33:36Nick's seven of nine from beyond the arch
33:40Just amazing office we are seeing from the inside outside wherever
33:46The next have scoring opportunities. They're making them and then even on the defensive end
33:52Force and turn over now part to steal six Grizzlies miss Q of the night
33:59And they say Shaq another knock away
34:03To Rose at the ball
34:06Working baseline
34:09They shank to three to my make Jack and a big timeout
34:13This is that whittled it down from 22 to 15 with four and 40 remaining in the first half
34:20May sack playing both ends of the floor my may shack coming off the bench
34:28And dropped in the three that's the FedEx power moves
34:32Sometimes part of great defense turns into great offense because initially it was a great defense of
34:39That stopped Gigi from being able to make the move to get to the basket that was forced to to
34:45even
34:46Go between the leagues to the step back
34:55So Brevin I respect your opinion about point guard play what can Alvarado add to this Knicks team as they
35:00go into the playoffs
35:01He gives them speed and tenacity at that point guard position the guy that can get into the paint as
35:06you saw right there
35:07And then he can create shot opportunities for others while still being able to knock down threes
35:13Which this Grizzlies team saw firsthand when we played him when he was with the New Orleans Pelicans this season
35:19And so the one thing that he brings you is a another guy off of the bench that can create
35:25a shot for someone get a shot for himself
35:27But he can change the pace of the game for the New York Knicks
35:31Alvarado and two games against the Grizzlies with the Pelicans average seventeen and a half shot fifty two percent
35:37Including nine of nineteen from a three-point line Grizzlies do not like facing him
35:41I remember the one game this year
35:43He's single-handedly in one quarter
35:44Saves the game from seeing you like no one was in the building
35:48He's like nice move here by playing it seemed like the building was sold out. Yeah
35:53He brings the energy. He's a native of the Bronx. So he's back in familiar territory
35:58Shamit on a cut guarded by ball
36:01Shamit misses
36:03Mike Brown wants a foul ball yells Tyler Ford
36:07Trolls yeah, yeah, it's rolling
36:12She called the monster. Yes
36:16Forceful, but not over the top
36:19Shot clock down to five Burton
36:22Rebound to Ananobi
36:28Perimeter they'll be able to slow them
36:32The Knicks have dominated in the paint by a score of thirty-four to sixteen
36:37Not a Knicks team that
36:39Scores heavily in the paint
36:42And Alvarado going to the reverse
36:45Change the pace how quickly he was able to get to the rim to finish
36:56Jerome lost it out of bounds. It will be New York basketball
37:03So I play a nice job here and I saw fake is able to step through the defenders to get
37:08all the way to the basket now steps up
37:10Oh
37:12Talk about town stepping up
37:14He drops her right hand is a hammer on the Grizzlies
37:17pounds with eleven
37:20Ball quarter three
37:24Hey Shaq offensive rebound among the trees lost it in traffic picked up by Alvarado
37:36Back to nineteen for New York
37:43Hardly to shoot
37:46Towns
37:48Back-to-back dunks by towns and the Grizzlies will take it right now
37:55Towns and the Knicks having their way tonight 40 paint points for the Knicks they average forty-seven a game
38:04New York doing what good teams do taking advantage of the
38:10shortcomings of
38:11Toronto is at home tonight, and they are leading Sacramento forty-seven thirty-nine midway through the second quarter
38:19And Philadelphia blowing out Washington one thirty eight one twenty four Atlanta doing likewise to Orlando
38:26That's one oh two eighty one early fourth quarter in Atlanta
38:32Yeah, and something's going right in Atlanta
38:34Just got it clear the room clear the air and that's what they did they're locking me Shaq the three
38:45Marks here in quarter number two
38:47They also have some really good players the keel Alexander Walker
38:52But nominal even yeah, you got two guys that are legitimate most improved candidates
38:58And Jalen Johnson with all the triple doubles second most in the league knocked away by Jerome
39:07Alexander Walker by the way 27 tonight for Atlanta
39:11Finishing at the rim
39:16I don't think anyone saw I think it could have been better with Atlanta, but I don't think anyone saw
39:22it be better like this and another turn over for the Knicks
39:26Throw the steal off the bad pass. Worth thought about the pull-up three
39:30And Alvarado working
39:33And Alvarado working
39:37And Grizzy's trying to look at Maysack Maysack going to the floor
39:42And Anobi shaking his right hand he's in a bit of distress and slow to get up
39:48Grabbing his right wrist
39:52Had the agree to throw a euro step for two and a chance for green
39:58The defense showing up here the latter stages of the second quarter three straight steals
40:05lot of Grizzlies look at the strength and Maysack hands while on the floor still able to secure the basketball
40:13Deke turns down the three that he'll get a three-point opportunity the old-fashioned way eight turnovers for the
40:20Knicks here in the period and the Grizzlies since the all-star break have been leading the NBA in forced
40:25turnovers at 17 a game seven steals for the Grizzlies they average nine per game to give you some context
40:34this they understood it had to defend in a different way with these lineups that they put on the floor
40:43they were going to have to do a little more gambling and we've seen games where the gambling has allowed
40:47the opponents to get to the free throw line but successful with it here late
40:54nine to shoot Alvarado out of the corner Bridges weak side rebound Towns
41:04fights Bridges and Bridges is fouled and Towns Brevin has been particularly impressive five assists here in the first half
41:12and almost six there
41:16he's done a good job when the double teams have come he stayed under control but what the other thing
41:22that has happened is his teammates have put themselves in position for easy scores and so we've seen a number
41:27of cuts from out of the weak side corner that have provided supported them with baskets but the other thing
41:34is any kickouts so if guys do die then they always had a guy replacing on the perimeter for a
41:40kickout
41:41grand repair not playing tonight two-way transfer
41:46yeah and Obie they're looking at that right wrist
41:49last thing they want is any type of late season injury
41:55now how about this the Grizzlies you talk about total accuracy 50 40 90 Grizzlies are 50 45 85
42:03the Knicks are 71 70 and 100
42:08you said you hadn't heard the first quarter number those are again
42:11yeah board numbers yeah that you don't normally hear in an NBA game unless you're playing 2k with some of
42:17these really good
42:19shot clock is dark
42:23plate and Alvarado and that will be the 15 file on the Knicks so the Grizzlies will get free throws
42:29here with four points remaining
42:35Alvarado and Tyler Ford not quite seeing eye to eye on that last one
42:45Walter Clayton Jr. will go to the free throw line
43:01good look at Alvarado out of Georgia Tech
43:04it's fifth season
43:07and smile good conversation yeah Tyler Ford will communicate with you
43:12I think every official will
43:14yeah they really have worked on their communication skills
43:16yeah as long as your tone is one of respect
43:20they understand that this is a basketball game so
43:21it may be a little bit elevated because it's
43:24we're in a competitive zone but
43:26these people in respect it will be alright
43:27Bridges don't let them advance the ball to half court
43:314.2
