00:01This team has just had their way offensively was great for all of the
00:06struggles that you talk about them having they've had zero struggles with
00:09the bridge nice and set up here yes oh max well in the losing streak they were
00:17averaging just 99 points per game there's a good chance they'll have 99
00:23before the end of this period towns one-on-one with prosper Alvarado
00:31swing corners Ananobi towns taking it away from everybody the problem is that
00:39Omax has to go and help and there's nobody to keep towns off of the
00:44offensive glass Gigi Jackson will try a three and knock it in three for three
00:49from the long line and he extends his double-figure scoring streak to a career
00:54best 21 games so many times we talk about how it's just bad intentions that Gigi
00:59plays it we're here tonight as a touch from the perimeter
01:02not as well for three tonight shot clock down to eight for towns working against
01:08prosper and Omax just battling as best he can against Carl Anthony towns but
01:18this is a beautiful set of it and the lob nice lob thrown there by Javon small with
01:26the left hand as Omax able to finish meanwhile the Grizzlies a 32nd
01:31consecutive game with double-digit threes that's a team record of the second
01:35longest action streak in the NBA five to shoot for Alvarado he casts a three it's up
01:40over in his shot clock and the Grizzlies will get it back for all that you talk
01:47about with the Knicks numbers there's only down 14 14 point game right because and
01:52they're down 14 because they have exceptional offensive numbers if this was
01:57if you're playing against regularity on the other side right but the Knicks are
02:02doing is an outlier Grizzlies are shooting 58 percent themselves
02:10Spencer shot clock down to five Omax the top of the arc three that's off and it's
02:17boarded by Ananobi so Ananobi who was flexing his wrist late in that first half
02:21he's out there and doesn't look none the worse for wear towns rumbling through the
02:26lane to a cutting Alvarado who reverses it up and in
02:29the Knicks have been cutting extremely well when Townsend had the basketball
02:34and another phenomenal cut from the timing for Alvarado's lay in powers into the
02:43paint draws a foul and he'll shoot to Josh Hart with the foul towns a triple-double
02:53not out of the question six assists eight boards 15 points leads the NBA with 52 double-doubles
03:01well the triple-double is out of out of play because of the amount of double teams
03:05he's going to continue to see and for him we say the ability to look over the top of
03:10double teams but also his teammates have done a great job of cutting to the basket
03:27just in time does he get it off before coming back down to the floor
03:32and I really feel brevin that the role that towns is playing right now for New York suits him
03:40because he can be a sidekick to Jalen Brunson he can be a primetime player but
03:47when he's got somebody else to play off of and Brunson and Towns in a pick and
03:51roller pick and top situation it's pretty good combination a definitely good
03:55combination but he's talked at length of how he's had to change his role some of
04:00this year's Alvarado just on a dead sprints able to get it back from Towns for the land
04:05but he's had to adjust his play and what his role was going to be with Mike Brown's system
04:11and so I think he can get to the basket three foul towns as they go forward they have to
04:18get
04:18more from Carlton Towns no more going to adjustments or others just find where he likes to get the
04:25basketball and continue to feed Gigi Jackson will get two here at the line first trip to the line for
04:33Gigi
04:33Grizzlies great at the line 88 percent tonight and on the verge of setting a new franchise record for
04:40free throw shooting accuracy this season he misses and now this from auto owners
04:48with the right coverage from auto owners when the unexpected happens you know you're covered that's simple human sense
04:56Gigi 74 percent from the line
05:04one of two for Jackson
05:0715 point game and 85-70
05:10his largest lead is 22
05:12Towns are going to work against Crosford
05:14Loose with it and he landed out of bounds
05:17to the Grizzlies with good defense
05:19towards Towns to do a turnover on the baseline
05:23good defense
05:25nice job by Omax to just stay on the body and down the line
05:30so that Carlton Towns never had the opportunity to turn the corner fully
05:44Tyler Ford was just questioning was it out of bounds or was it a foul
05:47no it's out of bounds and we take it out on the baseline
05:56Omax for three bango
06:00one thing you will say about this Grizzlies team they've been hit with an offensive flurry and they have not
06:05let go of the rope and they work their way back with it well
06:08because they are shooting 48 percent for three
06:12there's no quit in this basketball team that is what they have shown
06:18there's no quit in this
06:22the foul ball as well 17 for Towns he's got 17 8 and 8 Jackson bad intentions for the rim
06:30for two
06:31same way as Carl Anthony Towns is determined to get to the rim
06:34Gigi has been determined here tonight to get to the rim also
06:39Jackson with 16 to lead the Grizzlies
06:42Towns and Bridges 17 apiece to lead the Knicks
06:49and an Obie forced to give it up
06:51Towns got by Prosper goes to the rim flares it out
06:55and Alvarado three is short but I've got a heart rather
06:58the hands can not look
07:03Prosper on the quick advance
07:09small against Towns step back three is through
07:13timeout New York
07:16and the Grizzlies with a nine at 87-78
07:20the Grizzlies 50 percent from the three-point line
07:25they shoot 35 percent for the season from three
07:30strong to the rim Gigi with 16 on the night
07:34six here early third quarter
07:36Andrew Shamit coming off the bench to replace Towns
07:41Bridges
07:43Shamit good cover up by Burton
07:45six to shoot Shamit drives
07:48Bridges casts a three
07:50boarded by Prosper
07:51they weren't going to shoot 70 for the entirety of the game
07:54so the Grizzlies keeping in touch
07:57allowing themselves this run here
07:59Burton down the lane off the glass
08:02overcooked it
08:04this ball picked up by Hart
08:05and Anobi against Walter Clayton Jr.
08:08Walter Clayton Jr.
08:09will get called for the foul
08:18right
08:20a lot of basketball
08:22is you like all basketball?
08:24you keep going
08:25not just a lot
08:28over to Rob Fisher
08:29guys, Javon Small now one for two from three here tonight
08:32the highest three-point percentage by a rookie over the last ten seasons
08:36number one on the list is Javon Small
08:39came into tonight's game 44.6 percent on the season he's one for two so that won't go down
08:45number two on the list is jason tatum in 2017-18 he shot 43.4 percent and number three on
08:51the list
08:52desmond bain when he was with the grizzlies 43.2 percent in 2020-21 but javon small boy surprisingly
09:00how he has been at the top of this list at 44.6 tomas islo even saying he's become one
09:06of the
09:06best step-back three-point shooters in the entire league this season and shooting 51 percent for
09:12three since the all-star break and you'll remember that he missed 19th game from a turf toe injury
09:18he has been spectacular
09:22burton against ananobi backs him down in the paint faces up missed it rebound tapped the round
09:27captured by heart gris is an all bench unit it's burton place ball may shack and dekey jerome
09:35well this is the lineup where we talked about in our pinnacle effective advice in the game
09:40they're going to be gang rebounding
09:58there's jalen brunson
10:02he's got a hat with his own celebration on it his three-point celebration when you're as good as
10:07jalen brunson these things these things are possible you have your own work yes
10:20jerome
10:20jerome an open three
10:24nice hustle by the grizzlies and keep it alive
10:30the first second chance points for the grizzlies tonight
10:38again partners bridge is seen right here only down eight can they get a stop at another score alvarado and
10:44adobe will try for three that's off
10:46stop and burton the rebound
10:53things came easy to the knicks in that first half and you can start to get a little complacent when
10:58that happens and a little that may have been may have prepped into this new york knicks team
11:05ball on the baseline five to shoot may shack off the bounce against alvarado alvarado knocked
11:11it away clayton shot clock violation
11:18clarkson and diawara return for the knicks
11:22well it's easy to make jump shots when you're up 20. very easy very easy and we said it
11:29it was everybody it wasn't you didn't point to one person in that first half
11:34everyone that stepped onto the floor has success shooting the basketball but for the grizzlies you give them credit because
11:41they never got down it happened but they felt like on their end we're having success too
11:46you have to slow the knicks down a little bit tyler coleck into the game
11:55he goes downhill and gets two
11:59the goal is seven to go with five feeds jerome time to attack on the other end shut down by
12:06shabbat
12:11shot clock at 10. may shack to the glass
12:17strength josh hars more times than not when he wants to be physical with a ball handler he knocks him
12:24off
12:24see the birds get a second yep they get the timeout
12:31the timeout with 16 so when they inbound they're going to have to basically throw the shot clock
12:39so the situation not as dire for new york and they just did get it across barely over to rob
12:47fisher
12:47well guys rebounding situation not as dire as it was in the first half tomas isolo telling the team
12:53during that last time out great rim protection good friction and good communication that's what's
12:58got us back in this ball game now the grizzlies were out rebounded in the first half alone
13:0221 to six they're off being out rebounded here in this third quarter just six to five
13:09well how about this hustle though i mean i mean the entire procession yeah walter clayton takes the
13:14bump on top he didn't get the call but the ball now comes off the rim he jumps for it
13:19first this is
13:20the hustle to get it now burton is going for the basketball said this grizzlies team never quits
13:26and they have not quit here tonight yeah the effort has been outstanding after getting blitzed in
13:33the first quarter coleck
13:39rebound out of bounds grizzlies ball
13:41down eight look at the stops the dicks only have 11 points is it 11 points here in his third
13:49quarter
13:49after putting up 48 in the first quarter and 31 in the second slowly coming down partner that
13:55elevator has come from the penthouse quickly uh-huh yeah dicks thought they were on cruise control
14:03the grizzlies said we're not done here yet clayton against hart under four remaining in the third
14:12may shack rolls plate drives a euro step off the back iron rebound ananobi they're getting stops
14:22what was the fastest to keep the pressure on the knicks ananobi driving missing mayshack the rebound
14:30and everything that came so easily offensively for new york that's been totally flipped here in the third quarter
14:36to roll
14:38yeah boy
14:39draws a foul and dekey jerome to the line for two and a lot of it is because of the
14:44physicality
14:45of mayshack
14:46oh i'm sitting here i'm looking over and i say mike brown just has to continue to have these running
14:52conversations with the officials know that tells you the grizzlies getting underneath the skin
14:57of this new york knicks team as they continue to try to make this comeback because i can tell you
15:03in the
15:03first half there wasn't a lot of running conversations going on for it from that end of the floor right
15:09so jerome gets two at the line off of tyler kolek foul
15:16and these have not led in this game they're shooting 53 percent from the floor 44 percent from three
15:24and they have scored 22 points off of 13 nick turnovers
15:34and the nicks on the season one of the more ball secure teams in the league fewer than 14 turnovers
15:40per game
15:41and that those numbers were flipped the first time you've seen matched up another turnover
15:47there for new york knicks and as he said the grizzlies continue to get themselves closer more mistakes
15:55being made by this big team now they're really missing jalen brunson
16:00gg jackson back on the floor along with cam spencer so it's jackson spencer clayton ball and mayshack
16:07brunson sitting out with an ankle injury tonight i don't think if you're in new york knicks you would
16:11say having to play against this grizzlies team a nice move here as they're presently put together
16:17you think you should be okay without jalen brunson ball for three bango a dama ball makes it a one
16:24possession game 90 to 87
16:29shaman a three-point make and a foul
16:36backbreaker there's
16:37fans started to get a little bit loud to see the drive
16:42the kick out the ball knocks down the second three of this basketball game but right back at
16:48your colic well he does pushes the ball extremely well you see on the contest there
16:54it's too close by mayshack three point a four point play opportunity for shannon it was an 18 to 5
17:01run
17:01until the make by shannon nicks this year 13 of 17 and four point chances the 18 chances the most
17:11of
17:11any nba team but
17:15up over and out of bounds and we need a long pole mop right now
17:24this will be a longer pole partner when i play this is this is sustainable
17:35mop handles that they use now you see zach edy he didn't he would need him up
17:39he might need he could just stand up he's gonna head his hand up there
17:46i'll tell you this much though mike brown so worried he goes back to the big on the floor
17:53to try to settle things down spencer for three
17:56he says a shack offensive rebound may check in a crowd and call for a travel
18:02a little bit a little bit of a shuffle of defeat after he got the offensive rebound
18:09with the work that he put forth there to even come up with the rebound was huge but going back
18:14to huck 40
18:16here he brought him in earlier in that first half first half he was a problem with his size
18:22mostly off of the glass and rolling to the basket
18:29shannon a baseline drive clarkson also along the baseline mid-range no but shannon offensive rebound
18:37and anobia three that's off shannon another offensive rebound
18:43he had two guys try to not allow huck 40 to get to the balls allowing the guards to get
18:49rebounds
18:49is finally a payoff there he says the difference that huck 40 is made in this game has been huge
18:5616 to
18:58the advantage and second chance points for the next
19:02and now shannon is steel
19:07ananobi shannon spencer fly by clarkson offensive rebound the rebounding story is massive clarkson
19:17will get two at the line the grizzlies being out rebounded 31 to 14
19:2215 and 15 to 5 in offensive rebounds that's the difference in the game here in this third quarter
19:30the grizzlies got themselves back in because they did a good job on the back boys not giving up multiple
19:36possessions but his last two the the knicks able to have multiple possessions within possession clarkson's
19:43first trip to the line tonight 82 from the strike
19:51small coward and prosper into the game for the grizzlies with 117 remaining here in the third
20:05no denying the fight in this grizzlies basketball team we just
20:09every night we come here to the gym and the morning said okay who's going to be playing
20:14and then we say who's playing then you start to say okay who we're playing against
20:17you see who you're playing against then the game gets played it started you say
20:22these guys are just assistant just meeting one another they have those group centers but they still go
20:27out on a nightly basis and make it hard for their opponents right
20:31gd jackson off the glass won't go rebound ananobi
20:38kolek pushing
20:43ananobi well short ananobi over three from three final minute third quarter
20:50towers for three
20:53cedric tower drops in a triple his first of the game 13
20:57percent the seven-point game grisly's did get it within three
21:01and a loud ball out on the floor
21:10called on javon small and the grisly's over the limit
21:16oh max good job pushing the ball it's
21:20so imperative for this brisly's team to be able to get stops and run outs because
21:25that's when they'll have the advantage to use quickness
21:29over size
21:32the first free throw
21:40tomas iclo making his points to tyler ford
21:44and mikhail bridges
21:46who's going to check in for the knicks
21:50so that's one thing that tomas says look the standard's the standard
21:53we want high effort all the time i don't care who we are or are not able to put on
21:58the floor
21:59You got to bring it every night
22:03Say a little bit for these guys
22:06Selfishly you want to break it every night because every one of these guys have something to prove
22:13Small try to face up prosper
22:16Got to get away from Shabbat themes into him banks. No
22:24Shot clock goes dark nix by nine
22:36Go like with nine and seven feeds off the bench
22:39Lock at five at four
22:41Kolek drives and it's slotted by Gigi Jackson with one second remaining in the corner
22:51Gigi Jackson said get that out of here
22:59The bridge is looking back to the Nick bench for play instructions. Kolek to throw it in from the corner
23:06And Karl-anthony towns will come in with one second remaining in the period
23:14Gives you a another screener, but it also gives you size and probably run some tight wheel action
23:19Where you run one guys will run off the town's maybe a second guy will run off get a double
23:26screen
23:26We get town going back to the ball
23:29They go back door and shaman a wedgie at the horn
23:37We got a lot of first wedgie at the horn
23:43We have a night courtside stance by Ross wood
23:47And Rob Fisher our Robin Hood sideline reporter just down the way
23:51Well, not aggressive but a Grizzlies reason why they're hanging around forcing 14 turnovers for 25 points as Alvarado
23:59misses that three
24:00I'm 40 coming over the top of tower for the offensive rebound and it'll be off the reload. No according
24:07kept the missile eyes
24:08And the Grizzlies have to play defense multiple times through the shot clock and Bridges pays it off with a
24:14three
24:17Biggest hug 40 right now is a problem with his physicality
24:22The problem is you got to call the foul when this ends and every time that he just barrels in
24:27To Omax on the offensive rebound you can't you got to at least allow Omax the opportunity to stand
24:32He's just literally running straight through his body every single time
24:40Howard called for the traveling turnover
24:46Bridges an open three
24:49And Ananobi there to clean it up
24:5223 second chance points for the next to start the period with Ananobi Bridges Alvarado
24:57Polic and huck 40
25:00She's ever starting lineup from tonight on the floor small
25:06Spencer three
25:09Rebound Bridges and he's fouled on the outlet pass
25:16As he's begging for a challenge
25:21See how many guys have to go to hug 40 you got almost three guys
25:25Yeah, Javon small trying to box out
25:28And Ananobi just not enough and the Grizz is going to challenge his foul on to the Cedric Coward
25:33If Jersey were successful with their first challenge, so they are entitled to a second they're exercising that
25:41Imminent possession to the Grizzlies and so they got it with the first 24 down 104 90
25:50And the point here for the Grizz is partner the one and try to get have offense on this end
25:55is
25:56Ojan only with the block and the run out by Alvarado
26:00opportunity to get a shot
26:02Bridges along the baseline stolen by small
26:07step back three got it! Javon Small makes it 104.93.
26:13The thing about it what makes it so good partner is how low he is to the ground and how
26:17hard the first step as if he's going to the basket.
26:21It makes a defender retreat, an illegal screen on Ananobi.
26:24The defender retreats and then he has to step back.
26:27That creates even more space. Watch the step forward and then the step back is what creates space.
26:32Even with a big cannot get back to contest. Javon Small feeling it from the arc.
26:39That's a three over a legit seven-footer an aerial hunting.
26:44Spencer with a middie. Got it!
26:51Spencer's second bucket of the night.
26:54Again the Grizz is making a little bit of a push here.
27:00Bridges. And a foul called on Cedric Coward on the drive by Bridges.
27:04Not shooting. First foul on the Grizzies here in the fourth.
27:08Coward's third.
27:10Ken especially gets himself into the painted area.
27:12A little pump fake gets Hunk Portie to go back to Ole Max.
27:16That allows him to get the shot off.
27:25Kolek on the throwback and Alvarado nearly lost it.
27:32Ananobi finally hits a three.
27:34He had it over four.
27:37Ananobi a chance for a double-double.
27:39Nine boards to go along with 13 points.
27:42Spencer got fouled by Kolek.
27:46And that'll be three free throws for the best free throw shooter in the league at 94%.
27:54Step back in.
27:58Steps on that foot and comes down from the three-point shot.
28:01And again it's just the Grizzlies creating opportunities for themselves.
28:07On this offensive end and on the defensive side.
28:10It's a matter of just continuing to fight and battle.
28:14And can you grab the long rebounds.
28:16We know the ones that may fall around the basket.
28:18May be tougher with the bigs.
28:20But the ones that come off a little bit further.
28:22Can they track those down.
28:24But a big issue as we saw in the last replay.
28:27Sometimes it's taking two guys to box out one.
28:29Which makes it that much harder.
28:31Cam will get one more.
28:33How about this.
28:34Knicks were seven of ten from three in the first half.
28:36They are three for 15 here in the second half.
28:41Landry Schammett back into the game.
28:43He said there had to be some tight regression to the mean.
28:46But the thing that had to happen though was when that did happen.
28:50The Grizzlies had to have themselves in a position to take advantage of it.
28:54And so that's what they have continued to do.
28:57They shot well in the first half.
28:58They continue to shoot it well here in the second half.
29:01Spencer three for three from the line.
29:08And the question for Mike Brown is when do you come back with Towns.
29:12But my court is giving them good minutes.
29:14Alvarado driving and quoting for two.
29:17They really done a good job with Billy.
29:19Throwing it to the big.
29:20And the speed run off of the big.
29:22Not a hand dribble hands off.
29:23Just a hand back to the guard running at full speed.
29:29Spencer drives.
29:30Got by Hunt.
29:31Forty.
29:31Ten to shoot.
29:33G.G. Jackson against Alvarado.
29:35Takes him into the paint.
29:36And goes to the rim for two.
29:38G.G. Jackson finishing.
29:40Here we talk about the dunks.
29:42But not just dunking.
29:43Getting to the front of the rim.
29:45The layup bag.
29:46That he has.
29:48Has been tremendous.
29:49Seven of ten from the floor.
29:51And a foul on the pass off.
29:56Tom Devon Small.
29:57That'll be his second.
29:59This is with the seven footer Cummins.
30:01Able to change to the left hand.
30:03And finishes.
30:04Going to the middle.
30:06But changes to the left.
30:07And still able to finish.
30:09So he has been absolutely impressive.
30:15Towns waits his time.
30:1817-9 with seven feeds for Carl Anthony Towns.
30:22Alvarado.
30:22Runner.
30:23No.
30:24And a loose ball foul.
30:25Huck courting.
30:30Lucas Williamson who was signed to the ten day contract.
30:33Yesterday.
30:34Into the game.
30:35Battling there.
30:36And Huck 40 comes right over the top.
30:38Good job by Williamson.
30:40Just to get the body in front of him.
30:43Hey Williamson's a Chicago kid.
30:44He's not going to take anything from anybody.
30:53Lomax screens Ananobi.
30:55Coward.
30:56Tough chance.
30:57Supported by Alvarado.
31:02And Nobi nearly lost.
31:03Alvarado on the fly.
31:06And Ananobi.
31:07And a blocking foul on Coward.
31:13And Tomas Isilow is going to get teed up here.
31:22And the Grizzlies cannot challenge because they defuse both of their challenges.
31:27And Fumas Isilow and Brandon Adair.
31:33Not a meeting of the minds.
31:34And there's the push by Ananobi.
31:37And you look at that.
31:38And it's a clear offensive foul.
31:40But.
31:41I'm going to tell you what I like Barton.
31:44I don't care if it was wrong.
31:46I just like the fact that Coach Isilow got upset.
31:50Yep.
31:51Hot under the collar.
31:55It's hard.
31:56And what these guys would love from him at this moment is they have fought.
32:02And they have fought.
32:03And they continue to fight.
32:04And it's nice to see your head coach also fighting for you.
32:08Got to stand up for your players.
32:14It's also a fourth foul on Cedric Coward.
32:17That's three point possession.
32:24Four gone by here in the fourth.
32:26Double digit lead New York.
32:28Small stepping through and scoring.
32:31Wow.
32:32I'll tell you Barton.
32:33He is.
32:34I went through this earlier.
32:35Small guys being scorers now.
32:37Not facilitators.
32:39Biggers being facilitators.
32:40And we're seeing Small be a scorer.
32:43And Anobi had been open for.
32:46He's hit his last two three tries.
32:49And it's 115-102.
32:52Small bottled up on the sideline.
32:56It's out of bounds.
32:57Towns leading his case.
33:00And Mike Brown, is he going to challenge?
33:02Nope.
33:03He's looking to the back bench.
33:09Grizzlies put the ball in play.
33:12No challenge from New York.
33:15Crossford driving on Towns.
33:22No buzz and energy though here in the building.
33:25With the way that the Grizzlies have batted.
33:27And Anobi.
33:28Driving but missing.
33:35Gigi crossing over.
33:37And hitting!
33:40Gigi with 20.
33:449-20 point game of the season for Gigi Jackson.
33:48What hasn't he done?
33:50He seemed to step back threes.
33:52Mid-range.
33:55With a body foul here.
33:59Against Williamson.
34:00Defending.
34:01But here Gigi Jackson.
34:02Goes to move.
34:04Fields though he feels the contact.
34:05But does a good job of continuing to finish the play.
34:10And knock down the shot.
34:1320 points on 11 shots for Gigi tonight.
34:17Ball, Jerome, Mayshack into the game.
34:216-42 remaining.
34:26Towns guarded by Mayshack.
34:28Oh good job Coward.
34:30Said two on one to the rim.
34:32Finger rolls it in.
34:34And the foul.
34:38How about this Grizzlies squad?
34:40They refuse to go away.
34:43Great help defense here at Coward.
34:45Cesar Coward is able to get it.
34:47And not just come up with the steal.
34:48But recognize the smaller defender.
34:51Trying to get back in Alvarado.
34:53And takes it right to him.
34:54And one opportunity.
34:56Alvarado his second foul.
34:58Sad nice bounce back game.
35:00Limited to seven.
35:02Monday against Phoenix.
35:03On one of seven shooting.
35:05He's got 15 tonight.
35:08But can't convert to three point play.
35:10His first miss from the line.
35:16Grizzlies just keep coming.
35:24Bridges got the step.
35:26Got the dunk.
35:27Bridges on the blow by.
35:2924 for Bridges.
35:41Mayshack would tend to shoot as we hit the midway point of the third.
35:45Nice give back.
35:47And Towns fouls.
35:59Fourth team foul.
36:01Both teams with four.
36:04And Mayshack will go to the line for the first time tonight.
36:08Jemai just 59% from the line.
36:17And you see the mask he's wearing.
36:19The nasal fracture like you point out Brevin.
36:21He's been guarding Biggs.
36:23His nose is at elbow level for a seven footer.
36:27The thing about him though is.
36:29He didn't back down.
36:31No.
36:31Every night he goes out on the floor and they put this line up out.
36:35And they're like you guard the center.
36:37He's like okay.
36:37And he goes out there.
36:39He makes life hard.
36:40On these opposing centers.
36:42And they'll go back to Howard.
36:43He's at Tennessee.
36:44They play it against Purdue.
36:46He guarded Zach Eadie.
36:47I know that is a big thing.
36:49But these Biggs are a lot more mobile.
36:51Moving around the floor.
36:52And being physical.
36:54Guarding Towns at the moment.
36:5610 to shoot.
37:02Shamit.
37:04Driving against Williamson.
37:05Alvarado to beat the shot clock.
37:08No.
37:08Rebound tap.
37:10And an OB offensive rebound.
37:12Shamit.
37:13Driving.
37:14Bridges for three.
37:16Got none.
37:17Giroux the rebound.
37:19Giroux on a push.
37:21Howard.
37:22A fly by.
37:23Will attack the rim.
37:24Blocked by Towns.
37:29Bridges.
37:30And Alvarado.
37:32A clean look from three.
37:35And the loose ball foul on Cedric Coward.
37:38That's five on him.
37:44And the Grizzlies over the limit.
37:46Some good blockers.
37:48Bridges.
37:49Yeah.
37:49Bridges.
37:49The basketball.
37:52And then on this other end it's just a matter of, again, just doing the best that you can to
37:56keep the bigger body in Towns away from the ball.
38:00Pounds three for three from the line tonight.
38:13And you wonder, you just wonder if last night in Houston taken a wee bit of a toll on the
38:21Knicks.
38:23No, I'm going to tell you we're taking a toll on the Knicks to the Memphis Grizzlies.
38:26It's not last night's basketball game.
38:28Last night's basketball game was over way before it started.
38:31This basketball game here tonight is all because of this Grizzlies team didn't quit when they threw haymakers in that
38:39first half.
38:40And because of it, it has forced them to expend more energy than they thought they would have to at
38:46this juncture of the basketball game.
38:48Just as the Grizzlies did to Boston.
38:49Same to the same thing, whereas they're going to, they're forcing you to have to win the game.
38:54Not giving it to you at any way.
38:59Walter Clayton Jr. floating.
39:01Nope.
39:02Rebound to Alvarado.
39:03Grizzlies with Burton, Clayton, Ball, Mayshack, and Deacon Giroux.
39:08But the Knicks, here we are almost four and a half remaining, and they've got four of their five starters
39:14on the floor.
39:17They have all their starters on the floor, and the Grizzlies, we always talk about the amount of ten-day
39:22guys, second many.
39:23Guys are just learning one another.
39:25These are the regulars.
39:28And the Grizzlies will take one of their two remaining timeouts.
39:3312-point lead.
39:35And Anobi with 17-9 here in the fourth quarter.
39:40Performance by him.
39:42The reason why, he's our international paper player of the game.
39:47420 remaining.
39:51Mayshack sets the screen.
39:54Giroux passed on the three.
39:56Mayshack, eight to shoot, in the paint.
39:59Diki, a three, too strong.
40:02And the rebound to Alvarado.
40:11Rizzi's offense a very healthy 121.5 offensive rating.
40:16But the Knicks even better at 134.
40:18And the Knicks building a big early lead up by as many as 22.
40:22And weathering the storm, Alvarado with a make.
40:25Rizzi's got it within three in the third quarter.
40:28But could not get over the hump.
40:31Well, this is another instance where, you know, late in fourth quarters.
40:35The Grizzlies are trying to get execution for guys who are just playing with another.
40:41But you're playing against teams who have been executing and playing together all season long.
40:47Yeah, the Grizzlies are basically playing against a pretty healthy Knick team.
40:52With the exception of Mitchell Robinson and Jalen Brunson.
40:56Now, they're key pieces, obviously.
40:58But, you know, McKell Bridges is really good.
41:01And Townsend is the six-time all-star.
41:02Alvarado a miss.
41:04Offensive rebound.
41:05Ananobi.
41:06Wow.
41:09Ananobi in the fourth quarter.
41:12He's got 14 of his 22 here in the fourth quarter.
41:20Oh, wow!
41:21Giroux with a run down block.
41:27And a three by ball.
41:30One-twenty-five, one-eleven.
41:33That one play right there encapsulates the Grizzlies effort.
41:38Yeah, that could have been an easy runaway.
41:40The score is what it is.
41:41But Dickey Giroux hustled to come up with that block.
41:45Oh, good!
41:46Oh, good!
41:46Oh, good!
41:46Oh, good!
41:46Oh, good!
41:46Oh, good!
41:46Oh, good!
41:46Oh, good!
41:48Here's these 10 spielts, 4 blocks.
41:52And Ananobi, a three.
41:54It's good.
41:55And a triple-double for Carl Anthony Towns.
41:59The fourth of his career and second as a New York Knicks.
42:03And Ananobi has owned the fourth quarter tonight.
42:0817 of his 25 in the fourth Ananobi four for five from three here in the fourth period but
42:17Diki Jarreau with the amazing rundown block one of the denials one of the few denials for
42:23Ananobi here in the fourth and it led to this three here by Ball his third three of the basketball
42:30game
42:34the ball that is a career-high 11 for him and Carl Anthony Towns without Brunson Moore was asked
42:42Moore was delivered 18 11 and 11 Towns averages three assists per game 11 tonight in his basketball
42:51game he was going to be double teamed and when he was double teamed he did a great job of
42:57finding
42:57his teammates the other thing was when rebounding was available he rebounded this is a game in which
43:04you could go out and try to flex your muscle and do too much but he didn't do too much
43:11he stayed within
43:12the team's framework and because he stayed within the framework he's able to come up with this triple
43:17double here tonight Ananobi also with the double double his third of the season
43:21but he's a big reason pounds is why this Knicks team 27 second chance points and they are plus 30
43:32on the glass
43:36the worst biggest rebounds differential the brisley franchise has ever had minus 29 when the team
43:45was located in Vancouver I make a part here in Memphis in 2018 Gigi Jackson stepped back three
43:56and a loose ball foul New York the Grizzlies were minus 29 October of 2018 at Indiana
44:13both teams over the limit so Cam will shoot two here tonight's game produced by Scott Zachary
44:18directed by Tom Hewitt Brian Wright with graphics Joe Balmo stripping and clipping the replays
44:24Grisley's gotten down early 48-30 after one quarter continued to battle back got it within three in the third
44:30quarter
44:33and just too much OG Ananobi yeah in the fourth quarter fourth quarter
44:38we talked about him not being able to find the side of a barn
44:45and fourth quarter barn doors were open
44:52yeah Ananobi six of nine here in the fourth quarter
44:57this partner if you look at the end of this game they are finishing the game but they're starting line
45:02up
45:03is it on the basketball court right except no choice Josh Hart you got
45:09and champ it out there for Sam it is a no a regular in a lineup it has started this
45:14seems right back Shamit started the game at Madison Square Garden
45:23for the Knicks it'll be a six straight win over the Grizzlies Cleveland coming in here on fan appreciation night
45:32also a six game winning streak over the Grizzlies this will be the seventh wire to wire win for the
45:38Knicks this season
45:43we said in a pinnacle effective advice of the game game rebound mentality the Grizzlies are going to need it
45:50because not just with the size of Carl Anthony Towns but how well their guards do a good job of
45:56rebounding also
46:00the right hand sling 20-point triple doubles for Towns
46:09crosser for three Spencer battling offensive rebound on the baseline to a cutting
46:16transfer for the emphatic dog
46:19what's that hand on that I think the hand might have put either the rim on the net as he
46:24was coming down
46:25and he's got some tape on that right wrist that kept him out of the last game
46:33and Alvarado losing out of bounds
46:41see here this Cam keeping it alive and then no looking
46:47I never had that problem part with my hands hurting on the rim
46:51no
46:53maybe get caught in the net every now and then slapping the backboard but never on the rim
46:57oh Max again at the rim and he's fouled
47:01well
47:02the players high level of effort Tomas Isilio that last defensive possession he's up off the bench he's coaching
47:09they're going to play a full 48 doesn't matter who's on the other side of the floor what the score
47:13is
47:13that is why they have had themselves in basketball games because they continue to battle and
47:20it's the only way that all of these guys their mentalities have to be that way from the entirety of
47:27your career when you have an opportunity to get on the floor you go out there and battle
47:32good knock away here I said almost come on with a steal shot clock is off
47:37the Knicks will end their three game losing streak overall and all three of the previous losses were on the
47:43road
47:45so for the third consecutive season the Knicks sweep the season series
47:50And the Grizzlies set a franchise low with just 20 rebounds tonight.
47:57Well, great effort by the Grizzlies.
47:59As I said, they fell down early, 48-30, trailed by 22.
48:05Got it within three in the third quarter, but too much OG Ananobi-Layton
48:10and a triple-double for Carl Anthony Town.
