05:17that's the NBA got an opportunity on
05:22Sunday took advantage of it early
05:25minutes and minutes throughout last

05:30tonight no Brandon Ingram here's
05:34Scotty jumper no and Carter with it
05:42Carter driving right now on the inside
05:45with a nice left job he thought he was
05:49going to take it up right in the lane
05:50but protected it with the shoulder and
05:53beautiful left hand forty second
05:56overall pick rookie RJ trying to stay
06:00with it and there's going to be a foul
06:02it's going to go against Toronto as
06:05we're not at that eight Sacramento at
06:14this stage Russell Westbrook he's
06:18out he's been out for the last six
06:20games now DeAndre Hunter out for the
06:24last twenty three Keegan Murray the
06:26last sixteen and DeMontis a bonus
06:28he's played in just nineteen games
06:31this season and they're thinking
06:34about the lottery here's Carter
06:37cut off stays with it and he's
06:40fouled in the act and he'll head to
06:42the free throw line good job by
06:44Carter that time given to the paint
06:47six of the eight points from
06:49Sacramento right in the paint and
06:51establishing it off the drive and a
06:53post up that's going to be the
06:55second on R.J. Barrett R.J. Barrett
07:02last night bright spot with his
07:05efficiency twenty four points seven
07:08of twelve shooting two before from
07:09three has played well in the last
07:14ten games almost twenty one points
07:16almost five rebounds and north of
07:18three assists and twelve points in
07:20the paint so he's been very
07:22productive of late back feeling
07:24better obviously will banged up at
07:26the shoulder issue but playing
07:27through it Carter in Sacramento
07:33leads by two Lawson with Pirtle
07:38Barnes Barrett and Walter Jakub
07:42Pirtle cutting was Barnes it's
07:47going to be lost and guarded by
07:48Clifford the screen step by
07:52Jacob he's rolling in the corner A.J.
07:56rises up three doesn't go into
08:00Rosen ahead to Carter he'll launch
08:03three on the weak side and last
08:06touch by a chew it's going to be
08:08Raptors basketball Jack timeout on
08:11the floor here coach Darko with the
08:12early timeout the Raptors Matty D
08:14lead by two it's ten to me trail by
08:20two ten to eight my man race busy
08:23week Matty D obviously the game
08:25Sunday here and then Tuesday night
08:28last night in Detroit tonight then on
08:31the road again from Memphis Friday
08:33and then Boston Sunday afternoon
08:35super busy week and then you come
08:37back home and two huge games against
08:39Miami next week and then the final
08:43back-to-back Miami and then at New
08:46York close out the season with
08:49Brooklyn here on a Sunday afternoon
08:50you just get a sense that they're all
08:53going to matter down the stretch for
08:55all the teams involved Mamu saves it
08:59to A.J. Lawson you're seeing more
09:02Pirtle and Mamu on the court together
09:13in the last three games to your
09:19point and because he's got the
09:22ability to step away from the
09:24basket and shoot the ball and you
09:26know shoot north to thirty eight
09:28percent from three so that gives
09:30you enough of that bill and they
09:32play high low well together they
09:34have a good knack some different
09:38combinations that Darko Ryakovich
09:41he's working with Pirtle misses the
09:46second Raynaud with the rebound he's
09:48averaging over seven rebounds in
09:51twelve points Clifford looks for
09:57DeRozan or to buy Walter DeMar eight
10:00points away from tying Dominique
10:02Wilkins for seventeen all time on the
10:06NBA scoring list and a Chua who's
10:09bounced around since his time in
10:11Toronto and with Sacramento injuries
10:15he's been able to get sustained
10:18time Jakub on the inside and Jakub
10:22Pirtle a call and it's going to go
10:25against the rookie Raynaud late
10:27whistle that time but correct call
10:29and Pirtle will shoot two and the
10:32double and getting the ball out of
10:34DeRozan's hands and beautiful job
10:36by Precious Achua get to the weak
10:38side and the tip top so Pirtle back
10:41to the foul line and the first free
10:49throw good Dillon Cardwell will check
10:52again when they first met out in
10:54Sacramento he was on a two way had
10:58thirteen rebounds and then they
11:00converted the two way to a standard
11:03NBA contract in February he was
11:06extremely active that night on the
11:09glass Malik Monk checks in for
11:11Sacramento as does Killian Hayes who
11:15was taken back in 2027 overall by
11:20Detroit breaking the pressure
11:23DeRozan in a crowd will dribble it
11:25out Raptors down by one under six
11:31minutes remaining in the first
11:32quarter Monk the corner three
11:35doesn't go Mamu Raptors trying to
11:38get out and run don't have the
11:40numbers here's Walter with it
11:43he's in his own DeRozan
11:44Mamu Kelisvili left open for three
11:46and he rattles it in I mentioned
11:48shooting off at 38 percent you get
11:50open ones like that lights out last
11:53five games Jack 13 for 24 so now 14
11:59for 25 over the last six he's in his
12:03own DeRozan
12:05the last half of the last half of
12:09Let's try out by Jacoby Walter
12:11taking a lot of numbers on the
12:14baseline.
12:17I call the offensive foul.
12:21Call the foul on Jamar DeRozan.
12:24Yeah and Jacoby Walter taking it
12:26on the numbers on a baseline.
12:28It's a good challenge for the young
12:31man playing against one of the
12:34Great score, as we've seen.
12:36Here it is right here.
12:37A little late, but cuts back up.
12:40Takes it again.
12:41Nice job.
12:42Feet above the restricted area.
12:44DeRozan will check out with his second.
12:48So we got Barrett and DeRozan.
12:50The small forwards, both with two fouls.
13:00Monk, Hayes, Cardwell.
13:03And Daquan Plowden had a bowling green on the court for Sacramento.
13:09For the Raptors, Walter Shedd, Lawson, Mamou, and Colin Murray Boyles
13:14coming off of a double-double, and the Raptors turn it over.
13:19Here's Monk driving.
13:22Scooped up by Hayes.
13:26Hayes with a jumper.
13:28Doesn't go.
13:28And a foul, and it's going to go against Toronto.
13:34So, Raptors starting out slow here.
13:38And the second night of a back-to-back.
13:40And Shedd's going to pick up the foul.
13:42That's going to be his first.
13:47It doesn't matter how you win for the Raptors.
13:50You grind it out and get the W is the key.
13:53Last time the Raptors played the Kings, they were down by as much as 12 in the first half.
13:58And ended up winning that game by 13.
14:02But they were sluggish the first time they played them.
14:05They haven't seen zone yet from Sacramento.
14:08Remember the last time we were in Sacramento, Doug Christie spotted that zone.
14:12They lived in it.
14:13Yep.
14:15Plowden sends it to Hayes, works it over to Monk.
14:19Colin Murray Boyles on the ball.
14:21Here's Hayes.
14:23He struggled early in his career, shooting.
14:26Here's Monk.
14:27And that shot will roll in.
14:32Tied at 14.
14:35Barnes and Elijah Martin make their way to the table.
14:399.05 season ended yesterday in the postseason.
14:43Single elimination tournament.
14:45And Murray Boyles with the bucket.
14:48Quick as a cat.
14:49So nimble around the bucket.
15:04And a foul is going to be charged to A.J. Lawson.
15:09Monk was a key part of that team that won 48 games, signed a team-friendly extension at that time.
15:20In his ninth season, he was a lottery pick of the Charlotte Hornets and really developed in Sacramento.
15:28And the first free throw doesn't go.
15:3039% three-point shooter.
15:32His numbers are down, though.
15:33Average north of 17 points a game last year.
15:35Now he's around 12 and a half this season.
15:38But some of that, Matt, has to do with the makeup of this team as well, like the quality of
15:43shots he gets.
15:45When you're with better players, a guy like that plays off the ball and he gets a lot of open
15:49shots,
15:49particularly when you've got a guy like Sabonis in the post, who's a very good passer.
15:54Low post, mid post, high post.
15:56You get a lot more clean looks.
15:58And you're going to shoot a better percentage and score more.
16:00His minutes down as well, right around 22.
16:04That one batted around off of the miss by Barnes.
16:10Malik Monk with it.
16:12Achua sets the screen and rolls.
16:15Cardwell backing in.
16:16Hard to move.
16:17Murray Boyles, a double comes in the post.
16:20And by leaving Achua, you sound the dunk in and the dunk.
16:25Cardwell's active.
16:26Offensive rebounder and shot blocker.
16:31Murray Boyles underneath.
16:33Lefty to lefty.
16:34Mamu to CMV.
16:37Hooking him up on the baseline.
16:39Martin pressure on the ball.
16:44Hayes over to Monk.
16:45The three.
16:46There it is.
16:47I mean, he's got a beautiful shooting stroke.
16:49He gets time to set his feet.
16:52Lights out.
16:53Really worked on that throughout his career.
16:56Scotty on the drive.
16:57Mamu with another three.
16:59Too strong.
17:00And taken by Sacramento.
17:05And a three ball is good.
17:08Yeah, you got to go on him.
17:09Quick release.
17:10Doing a great job handling the rocket transition.
17:13Get rid of it.
17:14Nine points off of the bench, Jack.
17:22Come back, come back, come back.
17:26Murray Boyles at corner three.
17:29Now, you made this point the other day.
17:32Sometimes these corner shooters get too buried along the baseline.
17:36And you're not shooting at the right angle for that corner shot.
17:40And the backboard kind of gets in the way of your trajectory there.
17:45But, uh, and one opportunity for the Kings.
17:48Give them credit.
17:49The road speed that he gets to in this game.
17:51Matt and Jack saying that he has this corporate knowledge of how he's able to digest the game
17:55and adjust when he needs to, and that is invaluable for young guys in the locker room who look up
18:00to him.
18:01His 17th season, 36 years of age, the ninth pick by Brian Colangelo back in 2009.
18:09Mattie D, we both love Double D a ton.
18:14It's okay to break Dominique's record tonight, but definitely not Oscar's.
18:19That would get him the 50-plus, so we don't want that tonight.
18:24But he'll be getting Oscar in the next few games.
18:27Yes, he will.
18:28Here's Elijah Martin with an air ball.
18:31Hurdle, the putback doesn't go.
18:33It's a 9-0 run by Sacramento.
18:39The cut by a chew-up and a foul.
18:46DeMar DeRozan, one of the all-time greats, not only as a player, but as a person.
18:53Gentlemen.
18:54You always love to spend time with him when you see him.
19:00And he, as Caleb mentioned, his work ethic second to none.
19:06There were so many nights early in his career, and he still does the same thing.
19:10Now, the game would end.
19:12He'd go up to the practice gym here on the third floor, and he'd be there to the wee hours
19:18of the morning working on his game.
19:20He's a gym rat.
19:21Yeah, he has a passion for basketball.
19:23Love affair for the sport, no doubt about it.
19:25And, you know, the proof is in the pudding, he's going to be one of the all-time leading scorers
19:30in NBA history because of it.
19:31And there's no doubt, not only Kyle Lowry, but him, they will both be Hall of Famous sometime.
19:39Here's R.J. Barrett.
19:41Number 7 will be in the rafters, and I would think one day number 10 will be in the rafters,
19:46joining Vince Carter.
19:47No doubt, bolted him.
19:48And they were just two integral pieces to the turnaround of the Toronto Raptors, getting to the Eastern Conference Finals
20:00together.
20:02We have a coach's challenge.
20:06Yes.
20:07I mean, I'm working the NCAA Final Four on Saturday in a championship game on Monday for TSN.
20:14Why can't the college basketball replays be done so quickly?
20:18Like, you know, and I think they don't have a replay center.
20:21But even so, I mean, come on, man, you just made a call.
20:25Look at it.
20:26It shouldn't take three hours to make a call.
20:28Figure it out, one or the other.
20:29Well, we could go deep into NCAA basketball, and I love it, as you know.
20:34I have family that are coaches.
20:37Here's Monk.
20:38They're the only league in the world that plays two halves.
20:43Yeah.
20:44They don't play four quarters.
20:46And the shot clock's got to go to 24.
20:51Here's R.J. Barrett.
20:54And Barrett with the bucket.
20:56He's been so good, as you mentioned, since the All-Star break, averaging 20 points a night.
21:01Doesn't Saka play half?
21:03Still.
21:03Well, I'm basketball.
21:05Oh, I'm talking basketball.
21:07Oh, you're talking just basketball.
21:07Yeah, I was just talking basketball.
21:09Only basketball league in the world.
21:12Yeah, okay.
21:12Got it.
21:15All right.
21:15I mean, high school, they play quarters.
21:17I'm just paying, you know, just so you know, I'm paying attention.
21:19Well, you are.
21:20I appreciate that.
21:21You're up on the soapbox, and I'm paying attention to you.
21:23You're all over TFC, and you used to be a season ticket holder.
21:27I was.
21:29And this is Barnes.
21:31There's Barrett cutting through.
21:36Five-point game.
21:39My wife's heartbroken.
21:41You know, Italy didn't qualify for the World Cup.
21:43Look at Roberto right next to you.
21:45All the Paissons.
21:46They're all upset.
21:47I feel you paying.
21:49Ireland didn't make it.
21:49I don't know.
22:05And Sacramento by five at the end of the opening quarter, Jack.
22:09All right.
22:09Well, remember I mentioned it the last time the Raptors played, the Kings, a 15-8 in five
22:15offensive rebounds for the Sacramento Kings.
22:18And eight second chance points as well.
22:20And Raptors have made one-three in Sacramento, too.
22:25So when I see it, a great shooting exhibition here tonight.
22:28Both teams trying to punch it inside.
22:31As I mentioned, teams shoot nearly 50% against Sacramento.
22:36The shots are going to be there.
22:37You just need to make them.
22:38Here's Monk.
22:41Monk effective in his six minutes in the first quarter.
22:46Caldwell, another offensive rebound.
22:48Second chance opportunity.
22:50Nice take that time by Ploudman.
22:53And we talked about it earlier.
22:55Mahmoud streaking right to the basket.
22:58Lays it up and in.
23:01Well, this group of Scottie B, Mahmoud, and Pirtle, they've been effective together when they've played.
23:08They've been outstanding.
23:12Ploud in the three-ball.
23:14Their third made three.
23:16And the Raptors down now, 32-24.
23:21Nice back-to-back plays from him.
23:22The drive and training the jimmy.
23:25Barrett, working, spinning, cut off in the length of Clifford, takes it away.
23:34Clifford, Doug McDermott, the three doesn't go.
23:38His father recently retiring as a head coach at Creighton University.
23:44Greg McDermott, one of the great all-time college basketball coaches.
23:49And a phenomenal offensive coach.
23:53Tremendous teacher, lots of success over the years.
23:57And congratulations to him.
24:02Here's Clifford getting to the bucket.
24:04And it's a ten-point lead.
24:06And Jarcoe with the timeout.
24:08And the Raptors sluggish on a back-to-back here and a must-win for Toronto.
24:1418th, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting to the Max Foundation,
24:19a non-profit funded by Utah Jazz assistant coach Scott Morrison and his wife Suzanne,
24:26which creates meaningful access and experiences for autistic individuals and their families.
24:33Visit Sotheby's.com slash to the Max Foundation to learn more.
24:38Wonderful cause.
24:39And after that timeout, Raptors were expecting it.
24:42We saw it the last time the two teams played.
24:45There's the kicks right there.
24:48Sacramento went zone, right?
24:49We saw this the last time they played.
24:51Here we go with the zone.
24:5317-6 run since the Raptors led.
24:56And Walter breaks it with the three.
24:59Way to get him out of it, right?
25:00You make a few jimmies and hit that middle of the zone and inside-out action.
25:07You get some good opportunities.
25:08Made more threes in any Raptor in the month of March 30.
25:12Here's Monk with a deep three.
25:13In and out.
25:15On the glass.
25:16And it's Scottie with a rebound.
25:19Scottie into the front court.
25:20Finds RJ.
25:22Off the mark.
25:23On the glass.
25:24Colin Murray boils.
25:26Scottie puts it on the deck.
25:28Scottie on a kick.
25:29RJ the three from Mississauga.
25:33Again, you get great shot opportunities off the offensive boards.
25:37No set blockout responsibilities in that zone.
25:41Throw it back out and you get the clean threes.
25:44Murray boils inside position on Caldwell.
25:47Shed.
25:48Scottie.
25:50Sends it to Murray boils.
25:52Blocked.
25:53And a jump ball is called.
25:56Well, the Raptors, though, doing a great job with the energy on the glass.
26:00Again, against that zone, Colin Murray boils.
26:03He's got those quick hops.
26:05And then Scottie B throwing it back out.
26:07RJ Barrett.
26:09Putting it on a platter for a teammate.
26:12Beautifully done.
26:13Jump ball coming up.
26:19Controlled by Sacramento.
26:21Atlanta's up on Orlando.
26:2391-65, Jeff.
26:25Halftime Boston.
26:2780-57 in Miami.
26:30And Philadelphia up 20 with 10 and a half to go in the fourth in Washington.
26:35New York.
26:37They're up 20 in Memphis.
26:42Raptors need to take care of business here tonight any which way against Sacramento.
26:47Maddie D, happy April Fools today.
26:50I totally forgot.
26:52You did?
26:53And I bet nobody play an April Fools joke on me today whatsoever.
26:58Yesterday felt like April Fools' day to me.
27:02But not today.
27:04Not today, but it was early.
27:07Yesterday there was a lot of foolishness, but today seems pretty level.
27:1334-31.
27:158.58 to go.
27:18Second quarter action.
27:20Scottie B at the line.
27:24And that one rolls off of the iron.
27:27Renault saves it to Walter, and there's RJ Barrett.
27:31No fooling him right there.
27:33A little flush.
27:359-0 run.
27:37Since that timeout, Maddie D at 9-0 run.
27:44Renault in a turnover at Scottie.
27:46Raptors with numbers.
27:48Murray Boyles!
27:49Get out of the way!
27:51The two-handed slam!
27:53Hello!
27:56Scottie B dropping a diamond at Colin Murray Boyles!
28:01Look at this right here.
28:02Throwing it down with bullets!
28:04Two-handed!
28:05That's what I'm talking about!
28:07So just sprinkling in the trap here and there.
28:10Take it, get teams off guard.
28:12We saw Orlando.
28:13They blitzed him a few times.
28:15The other day, I didn't know what was coming.
28:17And here it is again.
28:20Clifford in the corner.
28:22McDermott.
28:23And Doug McDermott knocks it down.
28:26Well, he's got a great shooting stroke.
28:28North of 41%, particularly from that corner.
28:31And talking about pressure defense, what an incredible comeback win for UConn over Duke.
28:38RJ counted in the foul.
28:40Speaking of Duke.
28:41Duke guy himself.
28:42RJ Barrett finishing it off.
28:49RJ Barrett.
28:50And a nice little, excuse me, screen in there by Scottie Bonds.
28:55Giving RJ Barrett a little real estate to work with.
28:59Raynaud picks up his third.
29:02And RJ to the line.
29:04And the thing that's so impressive about RJ Barrett, we've talked about it often,
29:09he is relentless getting in the paint.
29:13And he can operate from inside there.
29:16So, when you're looking for buckets, his ability to cut, get out and run, attack the rim,
29:25and then from three-point range, right around 34%.
29:29But he's 35% from his career.
29:34And it was 12 in the paint tonight, Matthew.
29:35And I mentioned it.
29:36Last 10-plus games, he's averaging 12 points in the paint tonight.
29:44Raptors lead by one.
29:46Walter working with Colin Murray-Boyles and a foul on Caldwell.
29:50And the youngsters, nice passing that time inside.
29:54Jacoby-Walter.
29:56Walter's made a few nifty plays right here.
29:59The crossover brings two to the ball.
30:02Beautifully done.
30:03And then Colin Murray-Boyles taking it strong to the rack.
30:07But nice job.
30:08He had a nice little hesitation dribble earlier.
30:10Hooking up Pirtle on transition.
30:12The crossover bringing the big to him, to LeBron.
30:17Nice passing in the tight quarters.
30:20First good for Murray-Boyles as we send it over to Kayla Gray.
30:24Thank you so much, guys.
30:25Well, yeah, Murray-Boyles playing, of course, through the hand.
30:27And I asked him just how annoying it is.
30:30He said it is.
30:30He said it is annoying.
30:32It's actually really aggravating to just work through that but to still be out there and do what I do.
30:36I said, are there ways in which you're feeling like you need to compensate?
30:39He says, I try not to.
30:41I try to lean into my game.
30:43Defensively, obviously, that's my focus.
30:45So, I'm not trying to tear too far away from what I am doing because I know that that's what
30:50we're going to need to lean on later on, guys.
30:54He's just a great pick by Bobby Webster in the front office.
31:00Yeah, no doubt.
31:00He's got the makings of a playoff.
31:04There's a delay of game warning in Sacramento.
31:09Carter was still wrapped up with the knees and the ankle.
31:1316-3 run and a foul on Jacoby.
31:18And that's going to be his first, Jack.
31:21First team foul of the quarter.
31:23Sacramento's already got four but I'm okay with that.
31:26The ball pressure.
31:27He's trying to set the tone for his defense at the point of attack.
31:33Colin Murray Boyles guarding DeRozan.
31:37Not a switch.
31:39Mamu now.
31:40DeMar rises up.
31:42Shot doesn't go and batted out.
31:45Carter controls.
31:46Denied on the inside.
31:50Barrett off at a running.
31:51Walter corner three.
31:54Good.
31:55Love it.

34:07getting into that next gear the alarm
34:09clock went off after the sluggish start
34:12on the back-to-back after Detroit last
34:14night they're playing their game now
34:15they're hooping they've outscored them
34:18here in the second quarter twenty three to
34:25ten AJ Watson in Mamou Murray boils shed and
34:29Walter DeRozan turns the corner up top
34:33Caldwell nice play out of the time out
34:37by coach Christie beautifully done by

35:21bicycle to work amazing I don't think
35:25today you ride your bike a little
35:27chilly today
35:31so coach's challenge
35:36Cardwell ended up on the
35:42deck
35:47Sacramento using this challenge
35:50Jimmy Matt what are they challenging
35:52like
35:54oh I see oh I see it okay I didn't see
35:57that on the first one thank you
36:00see it again
36:03it is ruled that there's no ward off on
36:05the plate therefore this is an
36:06unsuccessful challenge
36:08we will shoot two shots
36:09and Sacramento is charged a timeout
36:13and they will not have another
36:15challenge so the foul on Cardwell
36:20that's his second
36:23undrafted 24 year old rookie out of
36:25Auburn
36:27you can see more and more players
36:30enter the NBA a little bit older with
36:34all that NIL money
36:36out there Jack
36:38well particularly if you're not a
36:40guaranteed first rounder particularly
36:42play for Bruce Pearl at Auburn so
36:45he definitely
36:46you get a pay cut
36:47connect the trust me is two-way
36:50it was a lot less than what he was
36:53making last year down in Auburn
36:55Alabama
37:10Bruce now a TV personality
37:13has a lot to say
37:16and Auburn headed to the final four of the NIT
37:19which will also be held in Indianapolis
37:25Murray Boyles as it doesn't
37:28on the inside and a foul with 6 15 to go
37:35and the foul is going to be charged to Colin Murray Boyles
37:38look the bench for Sacramento has been terrific tonight 22 points
37:43but the Raptor bench
37:45between Colin Murray Boyles and Mamu they have combined for 17 so they've been very effective when we talked about
37:52that chemistry those two have
37:58Devin Carter father Anthony Carter
38:03spent time in his final season in the NBA with the Toronto Raptors 24 games
38:09he's in Denver New York and then Toronto in his final year
38:18Carter gets both in a six point game
38:256 0 5 to go here shed
38:29A.J. corner three doesn't go
38:32and Cardwell with the rebound good set up by shed though hit the paint went opposite clean look
38:42Clifford over to DeRozan
38:45in the corner a two of the three and he nails it
38:50that's just a Jewish shooting a little bit north the 31 percent from behind the arc
38:55shot down with a whole lot of confidence
38:58was a free agent this
39:01offseason had an invite to training camp with Miami got
39:06let go
39:08and then picked up by Sacramento
39:11after the season started
39:13nice set up that time DeMar DeRozan that's his third assist of the night
39:18folks in Miami familiar with Precious obviously
39:22started there in Toronto and New York
39:30Carter in the paint
39:33and batted out by Cardwell picked up by Achua
39:38Cardwell
39:41shovel pass over to Clifford Clifford driving
39:45and able to bank it in nice response right now from the Kings a 7 0 run 90 deep
39:50cut it to 147 46
39:55under five minutes remaining here in the first half late tip tonight
40:02you get to see everything happen in front of you around the league
40:08Cardwell with the rebound over to Carter
40:14Carter the three for the lead and it doesn't go and Lawson is there
40:19good block out that time by Jacoby Walter and traffic
40:23Pirtle deep post position and gets hammered again there's that beautiful
40:29chemistry between Mamu and Pirtle the high low
40:33throws it in there and Pirtle's got good hands
40:36gathers gets hacked till shoot two but
40:39Mamu great recognition
40:42they're on the same wavelength beautifully fed to him and
40:49earns to
40:50Paul George with 39 tonight for Philadelphia
40:55they lead 146 124 and they're healthy and that's uh no Embiid tonight
41:03but Maxi with 28
41:07and then Atlanta you got Oubre back as well so you got you know you're starting to get some of
41:12your top
41:12and guys back consistently
41:15and for Orlando another tough night tonight
41:18did Wagner play he was supposed to play tonight Franz Wagner yes 20 minutes 12 points
41:24Russell in a foul he's going to be on barns
41:27he's a really good player unfortunately for him he's had a bunch of injuries this year
41:32Nikhil Alexander Walker tonight 30 points what a great year he's had
41:37he really has and what a great get you know I mean everyone talks about the Timberwolves they miss him
41:44yeah
41:45it's interesting the other night Alvin now we're talking about
41:49most improved players of the year he would be right up there he'd be up there Jalen Duren up there
41:55with Detroit yeah Nikhil Alexander Walker
41:5910 for 15 well you're right from the field and look you play with a great player like Edwards
42:06you got Randall who needs his touches and it's hard to kind of express yourself as much now
42:12with that team a kid like a Dyson Daniels he's very willing passer so he can be the number two
42:17option
42:18on that team many nights
42:20Hurd Oaks spins around nice work and you know they get a guy like CJ McCollum even though he's an
42:26older
42:26player he's a smart heady good player and their chemistry just clicked and addition by subtraction in
42:34my opinion terms of the trade they made Atlanta's gonna win tonight they're currently in fifth
42:40here's DeRozan with a jumper and Jamar 0 for 5 from the field perhaps do have that tiebreaker though
42:47and Achua with Atlanta 4-0 16 second chance points the turnover
42:56and Sacramento takes the lead and a timeout by Darko Ryakovich
43:0352 to 50 well the Sacramento Kings are with halftime the Knicks trying to chase the Celtics
43:10well at least we know what Detroit's doing yeah they're taking care of business congratulations
43:15to coach Bickerstaff what a great season they've had and you know what he did a really good job in
43:21Cleveland sometimes in coaching you just run out of time but uh so glad he got that opportunity in
43:28Detroit he's proven himself shot doesn't go for RJ Barrett it was great last night seeing JB Bickerstaff and
43:36Dwayne Casey former Raptor coach here's DeRozan spins around Carter in the corner Clifford the three
43:49and a five-point lead so the response from the 19 win team the Sacramento Kings it's an 18 to
43:585 run
43:59Scotty on the back down and it doesn't go they have dominated the glass they are plus 11
44:12Chua no but on the put back yes the pressures of Chua has played a great game 12 points 12
44:20rebounds
44:21the old double-double from the former Raptor
44:28Chua active and look a guy like a Chua doesn't have a contract for next year so he's playing for
44:34his
44:34professional life so whether it be Sacramento or somewhere else yeah you know he wants to be on
44:41a roster next year side screen a roll DeRozan misses but poor block outs by Toronto and
44:50that's just too easy and Colin Murray boils and Walter check in and RJ misses the first 72 percent
45:00from the foul line since the all-star break and this is not an excuse this is a reality you
45:05know
45:05you don't have a Brandon Ingram tonight or Emmanuel quickly changes things a little bit but if you look at
45:13the number of players Sacramento is missing there's no excuses here you're at home you're playing for
45:18something they're playing out the string let's go we've got to bring it think about last night
45:24Detroit they had a 9 30 eastern time and I don't get that and OKC they got back at four
45:34in the morning
45:37came out of one led wire to wire to Rosen that spills out Walter gets it to shed
45:45and I agree with you on that scheduling for every team this year just and I don't know is it
45:50the NBA cup is it
45:54the process that they use now
45:58but it used to be a rhythm more to the season and we talked to a lot of teams around
46:04the league and
46:06the some of the trips a lot of teams just kind of shake their head at
46:11about the same time and cisscrossing time zones and
46:15remember Memphis came we're going to see Memphis Friday Memphis came here to play on a Sunday
46:20one game and went back and played Detroit the next day and that's not an easy no trip for them
46:28time zone differential as well
46:33Toronto will have fun in Memphis
46:35without me.
46:37Silky O'Sullivan's Peabody Toronto
46:42one field goal over the last five
46:45plus minutes and one for six
46:48Philadelphia they win tonight 153
46:52131 and at the start of the day a
46:57game back of the Toronto Raptors
46:59and Achua just stays with it all you
47:03gotta do is just throw it up there for
47:04Achua and he's he's playing active
47:06playing a great game 14 16 points 15
47:10boards plus 16 second chance points
47:16shed the three big shot they needed it
47:20good job by shed you know he struggled
47:24with his shooting this year but he's a
47:27tough kid he's tough-minded he's not a
47:29great we'll take that shot he'll make
47:32that play 59 55 four point game
47:39cloud is turning the corner here's a
47:42shoe of fading he's having a night
47:4418 and 15 against his former team once
47:49you let a guy get going on the glass
47:51you know that that basket looks like
47:54the the ocean right and now he's got
47:57he's got the confidence going the
47:58mojo RJ Barrett and he is fouled 30
48:05point eight seconds left here in the
48:08first half and the Raptors down by
48:10six precious right here they went a
48:15little bit screen a roll and drive
48:18it down the lane and rushes and
48:21chew it just going to work that
48:24time on RJ Barrett about an eight
48:28second shot clock game clock
48:29differential so an opportunity for
48:31the Raptors here to potentially
48:34score a point or two and get
48:36another possession before the
48:37half ends but precious has clearly
48:40been the player of the game so far
48:42between the two teams he's got
48:44eleven points ten rebounds six of
48:46those offensive rebounds here in
48:49the second quarter Barry gets a
48:52second free throw to be sure to
48:54join us next for at the half
48:56presented by subway Nikki Kia and
49:01Leo in studio five point lead
49:09Rosen on to turn the corner on
49:12Barnes on a switch Walter with
49:14them tomorrow on the inside kicks
49:18it they'll swing it Carter sidestep
49:22three and it doesn't go for
49:24four seconds three seconds lead
49:26past Jacoby he'll let it fly and
49:30it doesn't go Raptors down five
49:34well
