00:00LaMelo, three-pointer!
00:02Realized immediately that Green was late on the switch,
00:06pulled up for another deep one.
00:08Devin Booker is fouled on the gather, not on the shot.
00:17Hornets have done a much better shot stopping Devin Booker tonight.
00:22Look at Green right there.
00:23See him not really step up.
00:25You got to step up and keep LaMelo on his left side.
00:28You don't do it, he's going to stop right behind that
00:30with the range that he has and drill a three.
00:36And we've got a timeout call.
00:41We get blood on his official timeout.
00:46And because of the official timeout, we will take a timeout as well.
00:49Back in a moment.
00:52Charlotte is challenging the previously called foul.
01:12The first timeout.

01:56Ey, dimi e te kagayu
01:58Ayu konu wa kisayu
02:40I've got the power
02:41I've got the power
02:48After review the first illegal contact is by ball to the chest of Booker
02:52The call on the floor stands
02:54This is an unsuccessful challenge
02:56Basketball is brought to you by
02:58Carolina Ford Dealers
03:00Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina
03:03North Carolina's most preferred health insurer
03:06And Sharon View Federal Credit Union
03:09With us, it's personal
03:13Well the Hornets actually called a timeout to challenge the foul call on LaMelo ball
03:18They didn't believe that he fouls Devin Booker
03:20At least it may be Devin Booker fouled LaMelo
03:22But the challenge is unsuccessful
03:24LaMelo got his hands on Devin Booker before
03:27Devin Booker hooked him or did anything
03:29Correct LaMelo's left hand to the waist of Booker
03:32And then Booker feels that contact
03:34Hooks LaMelo
03:36But that time the first guy got caught
03:40Hornets lead by 14
03:44Green
03:44Man he can spring to the cup getting
03:47Change the directions
03:48Body control
03:49Hang
03:50He's talented
03:51Athletic
03:55Con can it will try to seal Dillon Brooks
03:58And he doesn't successful it
03:59Foul called on Brooks
04:03Brooks has the distinction of being
04:05Considered one of the best
04:07Defenders in the game
04:08He's got the hard way to prove it
04:09He's made a second-team all-defensive team
04:11But twice he has led the NBA in personal fouls
04:14And four times he has been in the top four in personal fouls committed
04:19Seems like he's a better player
04:21Oh wow
04:22What are you calling here?
04:23Foul on Brandon Miller?
04:28It's the third foul on Brandon
04:31Right side of your screen
04:34Gillespie pushes LaMelo
04:37Doesn't get called
04:37And then he steps into the path
04:40Brandon Miller
04:41That's bad call
04:44Green keeps it with Phoenix
04:46Lazy pass
04:47Hooked out of
04:48Back to my Dillon Brooks point out
04:51I think he's a better player if either
04:53He gets ticked off or he gets one of his opponents ticked off
04:57Other than that he's just kind of just out there
05:02He's got seven points in 19 minutes today
05:04He probably just was chilling
05:05Had a beautiful afternoon in the lovely city of Charlotte
05:08Enjoyed himself
05:09Has no reason to get angry
05:16Devin Booker
05:17Booker has only attempted one free throw
05:20He had 15
05:21Down in Phoenix last month
05:24Three-pointer Booker
05:25He knew that was going down
05:26He's ticked
05:27He thought he got fouled on the first attempt at that possession
05:42And wave it off
05:43That ball is on the rim
05:46When Diabate touched it
05:57Oh no that's
05:58Have they seen score the goal?
06:01Yes
06:02It's going to be basket in appearance on Phoenix
06:06So score the goal most to get credited for the two
06:24And now Phoenix is calling a timeout
06:26And they get a technical
06:28So they're going to get a timeout to challenge the call
06:31But the technical is not going to go away
06:35Jordan I'm not happy with the decision to call
06:39Basket interference on his guy Iguodaro
06:42I'm pretty sure he's right
06:43But the way in which he broached the topic that got him a technical
06:46Yeah
06:47Riding the goaltending ball on the floor
06:51He said something that turned his back
06:54It was too late
06:55The official already heard it
06:58And it was a few years ago
07:05I was so impressed
07:06And they tried to tease him
07:08W Frankfurter
07:11So let's take a moment
07:13To be as strong as he did
07:14To be as strong as he did
07:18Teigo
07:26Tin
07:32Let's see, there's a nice floater bottle of Mello in front of the rim, bounces around.
07:37Look at Arro, gets away with a push.
07:40Prior to the call on the floor, there is a technical foul.
07:44After review, the ball is illegally touched first by Charlotte's Diabate.
07:49The ruling on the floor is a successful challenge as the call is being overturned to basket interference.
07:55They will get their timeout back and have a second challenge later in the game.
08:01Our weird impression of the technical foul had been called.
08:05What we're looking at here, it says the technical was on Jalen Green, which I don't believe is correct.
08:12But if it is indeed on Jalen Green, that's the second technical foul on Jalen Green.
08:20He's still on the floor.
08:30I think that's just a procedural thing, but the scoreboard is indicating that the technical foul was on Green.
08:36I thought it was going to be on Otten.
08:37Yeah, I think it is.
08:42So the Hornets make the technical free throw, and they lead by 10.
08:54All right, we're ready to go here.
08:56It's going to be Green, Booker, Brooks, Gillespie, and Iguodaro.
09:06Gillespie.
09:07Oh, great help by LaMelo on the green drive.
09:15Got back to his man, made it give it up, and then finished the possession with a rebound.
09:21And last touched by Phoenix, 13 seconds on the shot clock.
09:28That guy right there is a different man on the defensive end of the floor since the All-Star break.
09:36Brandon Miller never quite got there.
09:43Ryan Koch-Brenner is the center with Giavante City.
09:47Giavante's been dealing with a little blood on his hands.
09:49Brooks, three-pointer, Dylan Brooks.
09:55Brooks gets a lot of open threes in the offense for the Phoenix Suns.
10:04To the rim!
10:06Another alley-off ball to Bridget.
10:09Boy, that's good execution right there.
10:11Continue to put Gillespie in action.
10:14Great at this match.
10:15Bridget's showing off on that one.
10:17Back to back three, Dylan Brooks.
10:20Quick six for Dylan, the villain.
10:25Hornets lead, but only by six.
10:26They were up by 14 not that long ago.
10:31Miles Bridget's!
10:33Couple of ducks, couple of threes!
10:35The first half, it was Brandon Miller and Booker.
10:39Now it's Miles Bridget's and Brooks with a little chin music.
10:43It's the best Miles' shot in a while.
10:44He has made three out of five three-pointers.
10:49Booker.
10:51Igodaro!
10:59Phoenix 42 and 34.
11:01This comes the season after they went 36 and 46.
11:06Big-time turnaround after making the Kevin Durant trade.
11:09Last year this time everyone's wondering what they were going to do for the future. It was saddled the rents
11:14contract the Bradley Beals contract
11:17They have turned it around and have reason for optimism
11:24This two-man game Bob Bridges gets out of that double team that let's screen real quickly
11:28The fellow one of the best lob throwers in the association
11:33Look at that look away pass right here. Bouncy three Bob Bridges good rotation good release. He's got something to
11:40say
11:40to Dylan Brooks
11:44For it's leading the ball up by seven Brandon Miller sit see on James replaces him
11:51Lamello darts into the paint
11:58Way

14:54middle of the city
14:55You got a numbers event that middle screen roll is working
14:59Because the court is spread the middle is wide open

15:27Michigan State influence in both the front office the coaching staff and the roster for the Phoenix Sun
15:36The fouls are gonna be called on Colby white
15:43I was talking to the team please before the game
15:45Miles Bridges considers the team to be a mentor team was the point guard on a national championship team

16:46one
16:46The other two should just be elementary
16:4986 percent of his career at the free throw line
16:55Point it's lead by 11 great Williams back into the game grand heading superb first half
17:0511 minutes eight points three rebounds for the local the pride of Providence day
17:14Not to be confused with Providence
17:16School to produce and plug Davis. That's right. So the day on there
17:21Devon Booker up in he's having a night
17:27Booker's got
17:33Again the middle screen and this time it doesn't work past deflected away
17:42Royce O'Neal
17:45Comes over to set the screen for Booker
17:52Back with a ramp and feel along with Booker. They said a lot of those shots. Yes, sir. They did
17:57all those guys really good the mid-range game
18:05Kobe
18:12This one's not over yet by any stretch of the imagination
18:15Two minutes remaining third quarter nine point game
18:18Good look for Goodwin
18:21That's it
18:23Hope better first man on the floor. I just sat on Goodwin a good one still down
18:29On it
18:29But what takes advantage
18:31Chance for a three-point play
18:38That's hustle. That's winning basketball golf printer
18:42On the floor 50 50 balls coach talked about it for the game. You got to get all of those.
18:47Oh, this team
18:49Conk Renner gets the ball delivers some punishment. Kobe says I got it from here the hair flip body foul
18:55Look at that body control
18:57That's why he leaves all high schoolers at North Carolina put the ball in the hole
19:02It is so obvious with that style of his the way he can score with his instincts his nose for
19:07the goal
19:08It's no surprise to me that he's the all-time leading scorer in North Carolina high school history
19:13Guy's incredible
19:15And he gets you to free close not missing a chance for a three-point play
19:20That is the ninth three-point play he has had since joining the Hornets nine three-point place in 17
19:27games
19:34Locked away
19:37The activity by the two rookies there see on
19:41Steers the bright to the path of caught Brenner branded with a shift that caught says none of them get
19:47that one out
19:48We'll take it out on the baseline three blocks two ducks for caught Brenner
19:57Allen is passed to Iguodaro and a foul
20:09It's gonna be side out of bounds would probably hope that Iguodaro would shoot free throws. He is not good
20:14there at all
20:15forty-five percent
20:20Confident will come back in for the final buck 28 of our third quarter. He replaces Brandon Miller
20:32Allen
20:44Knipples hit a pair of three-pointers this time run off the line and he's fouled by Gillespie
20:50So caught free throws for the first time tonight good attack right there by Todd
20:55No hesitation on the move get you let's be on the move with a live dribble spin lower that ball
21:02It but low the defenders hands come up to get a foul
21:0786% as a free thrower
21:09Here's a message from CPI security
21:13Luke walk us through that replay these two came in hot attacking the rim, but they don't see the coverage
21:18blocked blocked and blocked
21:21CPI security your best defense
21:24You look at Khan you can tell he spends a lot of time in the gym
21:27You look at Grayson Allen
21:29You can tell he spends a lot of time
21:31Hanging out in the Sun
21:34Look at that was he in like Barbados last week
21:45That wouldn't even a two-for-one shot
21:50He thought he was fouled stays with the Hornets
21:53Khan was fouled and he caught
21:59He splashes a three
22:01And he is tied Kemba for the Hornets all-time single season record
22:07260 Kemba Walker knows
22:10A lot of activity in the paint
22:12After that ball was released by Khan
22:15We're going to clean that up
22:16Thought he got fouled right there
22:18Air ball layup
22:19That doesn't happen
22:20Grant says don't worry
22:21Take three instead of two
22:24Look in the middle there
22:26Wow
22:26Look at that form right there
22:31My goodness that's pretty
22:38It was Grayson Allen and Lucy Diabate who were tangled up
22:42Grayson L is never going to get the benefit of the doubt
22:48Hornets up by 17
22:54Got to finish up this quarter right
22:57Shot clock's down at two
22:59Allen pushes off
23:02And hit a shot
23:03Oh my goodness
23:04He gave a forearm shiver to Grant Williams
23:10Oh my goodness
23:13Oh my goodness
23:15Oh my goodness
23:21Couple of tough pills to swallow
23:24Watch this one right here
23:25I mean yeah
23:28Slight extension step back
23:30That's that one through the Kobe
23:32Oh wow
23:33What?
23:38Hornets up by 15
23:40It's all in the rear view mirror
23:44The less beat finds Allen
23:47Hornets catch a break
23:48It's a meat on the bone
23:50Grant
23:53Oh!
23:55Good golly
23:56That would have brought the house down
24:00But
24:01What a third quarter
24:03For the home team
24:04The sharp ethic
24:06Get on the screen
24:07Tie you
24:08He's obviously going to pass Kevin before long
24:12Five regular season games remaining for the Hornets
24:15After tonight
24:16So that record is going to explode
24:19Nice play after the timeout
24:21Brayson Allen finds himself open
24:22But he missed an open three-pointer
24:26Hornets are going to roll with
24:27Knipple
24:28White
24:29James
24:30Williams
24:30And Giapate
24:33Devin Booker not on the floor right now for Phoenix
24:36Size advantage Grant Williams
24:42And Grant keeps it
24:46And Grant keeps it
24:47And we've got a tie
24:47Oh this would be interesting
24:51Royce O'Neal and Grant Williams
24:54What do you got?
24:55Yeah
25:01The thinking man's jump ball
25:02Yeah it is
25:05Somebody's trying to create advance right now
25:07I got Grant
25:08I like Grant
25:09Quick off his feet
25:15Both men 6-6
25:18Look at that Grant Williams
25:21And it's going to go
25:23Iguodaro
25:24Got the ball out there to hit the window
25:26It's a 2 for Sion James
25:28You see Sion right there
25:30Getting the tip ball
25:31That turn on the Jets
25:33Get the angle of Grayson Allen
25:35Put it on the glass
25:37I think Jerry can get to see it
25:39I'm not sure they have
25:40I'm not sure that was going in
25:43Hornets had the ball
25:43Up by 17
25:45This is the largest lead of the night
25:47Knit ball
25:48Off the window
25:49It is
25:50See him protect that ball
25:51From the reach around
25:53Extend it out
25:54Softly off the glass
25:56Coast to coast
25:58John's having another one of his patented
26:0050 40 90 games
26:0350% for the field
26:05Over 40% from behind the arc
26:07And perfect at the line
26:09He's done that a lot this year
26:11Actually leads everyone in the NBA
26:13In that category
26:14Still
26:15This is going to be a 4-on-3
26:19Now even straight
26:24Offensive rebound
26:29And a loose ball
26:30Foul called on Diabate
26:34Oh
26:35Oh Moose is like
26:36Man I didn't need to do that
26:38That ball came hard off the rim
26:41See right there
26:42Going back toward the other one
26:43Oh
26:43Bet right there
26:44A lot of this game is getting chippy
26:49The horns got to make sure
26:50They got to lead now
26:51They got to keep their emotions in check
26:54The veteran
26:55Royce O'Neal
26:57He's over 200 made three-pointers on the year
27:00So just like the Hornets
27:02The Suns
27:03With two guys with 203
27:04Royce O'Neal
27:06And Colin Gillespie
27:09Both those guys
27:1040% of the year
27:14And a foul
27:16That people saw in the upper deck
27:17The Hornets got
27:19They got to keep their head about them
27:21Right now
27:21You got a lot of frustrated guys
27:23On the floor
27:24For the Phoenix Suns right now
27:26And we got a couple of them on the bench
27:27Brooks
27:28You know he gets back in
27:3016 point lead
27:32Lot of game left
27:33Keep your emotions in check
27:36Play through all that physicality
27:40Talk about Dylan Brooks
27:41Keeping things in check
27:42He has to
27:43He's already got 16 technical fouls
27:47Here's a message from Truist
27:50Leaders in banking
27:52Unwavering in care
27:54Truist
27:55Learn how knowledge and care can work for you
28:0116 is the
28:02Lot of technicals that you start missing games in the NBA
28:05We saw that with Luka Doncic earlier this week
28:12Gillespie Allen
28:13O'Neal
28:14Iguodaro
28:15In green
28:16This is Gillespie
28:21Kobe can't quite save it
28:29As good as the Suns have been this year
28:31They're eight games over 500 Dell
28:32They have lost seven of their last ten
28:35So they're lipping right now
28:37As they get ready for the postseason
28:39They're currently seventh in the Western Conference
28:41It's gotta be cause for concern even though
28:45Seven
28:46You get two home games
28:47If you lose the first one
28:52Three-pointer
28:54Three-pointer
28:55He's got 12
29:01Allen was a freshman on the 2015 Duke team
29:04They've won the national championship
29:11Hornets reset
29:17Gillies
29:18Kahn
29:19Alright
29:23And Grant is fouled
29:25That saves what would've been easy two
29:28That's good job the Hornets
29:30Using the shot clock
29:31And the aggressive defense to their advantage
29:38Gamble by the defense
29:39Knowing the shot clocks running down
29:40I want to take a bad shot
29:43You make one extra pass con gets a good look, but now you're in scramble mode as a defensive unit
29:48grants able to get an offensive board
29:51Here's a message of Planet Fitness
29:55One thing Planet Fitness members have in common they're all strong. That's right. We're all strong on this planet Planet
30:03Fitness
30:03I
30:05See on it's gonna sit for a spell one more free throw cover for Grant Williams
30:08They'll just look at the score sheet
30:11Big story in the game between the Suns and the Hornets out of the desert a month ago was Devin
30:16Booker
30:1615 for 15 at the free throw line. Yeah, he's attempted one free throw tonight and as a club
30:24Phoenix is attempted only six that tells me the horns they're locked in man
30:28Tell you what they can make adjustments from one
30:31Beating to the next
30:33and
30:34Get it done at home. I mean to keep Devin Booker off the line only one free throw
30:41Phoenix, obviously they count
30:43Offensive foul right there. They can't hold them
30:45There's a big offensive weapon before the Hornets young guys as a whole
30:50To be able to guard Devin Booker make the burn every one of his 22 points were out
30:55Hang it the free throw line tells you that they could make adjustments
30:58They can realize what coaches want to do in the game plan and they go out and execute it
31:04That would bode well for a playoff series
31:08What it's up by 17
31:10You gotta go believe nine minutes
31:18Go be putting off kind of pressure on the rear drawing the host of the pictures that caught Brenner right
31:23in his weight
31:27Dillon Brooks Devin Booker and ahead to the scores table another block by clock better, but Mark Williams there to
31:33put it in
31:44I
31:45Great roll
31:55That's well IQ of Grant you're gonna shot that three ball early, but doesn't need it right now
32:00Use a little bit of clock and find a hot guy talk better
32:04Green not still this sex triple. He's now tied Devin Booker for tops of the game 22
32:12So pot had been tied briefly to Kevin Walker for the franchise all-time record is three for the season.
32:17He now has the record all to himself
32:28As wonderful and offensive players kobe whitey's the shot looks really good. I would call him a pure shooter. I
32:35Don't agree with that. Look at that movement right there
32:38By Khan if he stays where he's at yeah, he catches the ball, but the defender knows where he is
32:43by moving
32:44The defender loses it just enough for him to get a good look good find there by Grant
32:50Yeah, you're right
32:52Kobe's a good shooter not a great shooter
32:55He's a great score
33:02Jalen green having a really good game tonight on the offensive end
33:06I thought it was just a great score. Not a good grief. Not really a great shooter
33:13White's called renter pinniple Williams Brandon Miller playing together
33:19And we've got a foul close to half court
33:24Either side in and are close to the boat. That's just the third team foul for Phoenix. Give the foul
33:29to Devin Booker
33:35He's going to try to go on a one last run here
33:38Lawrence got to make sure they keep the momentum on their side
33:42That foul right there by Devin Booker was just a statement foul. He just ran push con down today. We're
33:47not done quite yet
34:08That was the design move by green to put the ball in front of him that he would run down
34:12the ball
34:13It's just a little bit too far in front of him
34:16Oh
34:17White's got 19 off the pine
34:19Look at him right here back up
34:21Back against the green
34:23Smile on his face guys and I said even the competitor in you doesn't mind that khan's going to take
34:29that from you
34:29And he said absolutely not he said I love that kid
34:32He is the best and he's the best to do it
34:35He told me records are meant to be broken and he is so glad that it is khan knipple that
34:39did it
34:40I did ask him but I said hey if you guys went shot for shot from the perimeter when you
34:44were in your prime
34:44Who would win he goes khan no question he said that kid is special and he's still a rookie
34:49I agree
34:51Janet thank you excellent stuff
34:53Well kemba learned
34:55What it's like and how you should act when you pass the franchise icon in the category
34:59From a partner del curry del he is the guy who broke your franchise all-time scoring record
35:06Clearly saw how you handle it. He's doing the same thing
35:09Kimba feels just like I did when he broke my record man you want quality
35:14Oh
35:16Blocked by Mark Williams and Mark's chirping at a quality high character guys
35:23Mark Lee open mark blocks a dunk and get this dunk on the other end in his return to charlotte
35:32Get off the bench
35:38He's in that zone coming out of that timeout
35:43Offensive rebound
35:44Seah scores the goal with a foul
35:48So seah didn't get his dunk but he gets his revenge three-point opportunity
35:52And a nice dunk earlier in the game didn't get that one but
35:55Let him carve out some space here
35:58Not settling on the
36:00Offensive end on the perimeter when that shot goes up get to the front of the rim see what happens
36:05he gets it
36:06Chance for an old-fashioned three-point play those muscles are not just for show. No, that's a functional strength
36:14He has played in every single game this year 77 for 77
36:22How to become just a
36:24Hornet rookie to ever play all 82
36:29Believe it or not the last Hornet rookie to play all 82 is known as a guy who's kind of
36:33a fragile
36:34cody zeller
36:36He's the last one to do it
36:39The other Hornets to play all 82 is rookies
36:42You got baron davis boom dizzle. Yeah, we've never missed a game. No way. Yeah, Larry Johnson Kendall gill
36:49George
36:51Herman was just her victory
36:53Herman read there
36:54Now we should give a shout out to kemba kemba played in every game, but it was a lockdown short
37:04season along 66 games on a sling
37:07If there had been 82 we to play it all with all of them like a gentleman
37:11He actually is the last corner to play all leading to his last season as a hornet remember those knees
37:16were not great
37:17But he play all 82
37:21Oh
37:21Grayson Allen
37:24Dance here in the building remember him from his college days
37:33Who would have a better chance of getting a free beer here in charlotte grayson allen or dylan brooks
37:39Grayson Allen
37:42Some people have to beat for them you go to the wrong spot. Yeah tar heel fans
37:46moving out so
37:54the
37:55big stand in his zone trying to put a wrinkle in the defense
37:58And it's another one!
38:00Fourth dunk of the night for Miles!
38:04Just a matter of time before LaMelo Ball
38:07carves out a play against the zone.
38:11Green back to the iron.
38:15Going to go under five minutes to play.
38:18Super important game for the Hornets.
38:21Got a game tomorrow in this building
38:23against Rick Carlisle's Indiana Pacers.
38:32LaMelo!
38:34Stinky leg!
38:35Locked away by Mark Williams.
38:37Miles!
38:38Goal!
38:39Huff diddly-D!
38:41Oh, that's the kind of second half
38:43it has been for the Hornets
38:45pretty much since the first quarter.
38:50Brooks dreaming of a foul that never came.
38:55And that may be all she wrote.
38:57Yeah, Flowers.
38:58But Bloom's almost off the rose
39:00for Phoenix.
39:03Hornets up by 21.
39:14Mark Williams ahead of the pack.
39:19Wingspan of a condor.
39:22Let's step one away anytime soon.
39:23That is a man who is long.
39:28Longer than War and Peace.
39:38Cough better rolls.
39:39Pass deflected back out to LaBello.
39:45And another block this time.
39:47It was Green who took it away.
39:51We've had a lot of blocked shots.
39:53A lot of dunks.
39:54Look at Bridges right here.
39:57Zone getting behind the defense.
39:59Booker says,
40:00somebody jump with him.
40:01I can't.
40:02That's my guy.
40:03Should be covering that area.
40:04And then,
40:06just happenstance.
40:07You get a 50-50 ball.
40:09You're all over the corner.
40:11And you bottom your fourth triple of the night.
40:14Oh, Bridges leads Horton's 25 tonight.
40:19Concaneple's going to come back in for the final 339.
40:22Two Duke Blue Devils leave for Phoenix.
40:25Mark Williams, Grayson Allen.
40:27LaBello leaves and actually unbuttons the shorts a little bit.
40:31He may be done for the night.
40:33Hornets up by 19.
40:40Kigodaro.
40:42Wasn't expecting the pass.
40:45He turned and saw Cian James,
40:48all those biceps.
40:49Man, I'm going to shoot this quick.
40:54Hornets going to take on Indiana in this building tomorrow.
40:57That's actually the second to last,
40:59the penultimate home game for the Hornets
41:01during the regular season.
41:04After the game tomorrow,
41:05Hornets are going to go on the road
41:06and take on both Minnesota and Boston.
41:09Come back for a quickie against Detroit
41:11and then in New York,
41:13MSG to take on the Knicks
41:14and that'll do it for the regular season.
41:17Yeah, man, it went by fast.
41:21For those of you out there in Chilliwack,
41:23the Hornets are guaranteed in the postseason.
41:25They're guaranteed of at least playing in the play,
41:27but still dreaming bigger dreams than that.
41:29Most conferences are pretty much teams guaranteed to play in.
41:33No matter who's going where.
41:36Hornets needed to win this one.
41:38Easter Conference standings to play right now.
41:40They're tighter than two coats of paint.
41:42Hornets with a win.
41:43They'll stay at eight with a loss.
41:45They would have fallen down to 10.
41:47Yeltsin!
41:48Final 252 when we come back.
41:53Miss matches in the paint.
41:54He took care of that as well.
41:57It's like...
41:58Big Sun's waving the flag.
42:00Yes, they have.
42:02Jamari Bouye comes into the game.
42:04He was number 17.
42:05Also into the game 14.
42:06Colby Brea.
42:08This is Ryan Dunn.
42:10Number 0.
42:11That's played quite a bit.
42:12Doesn't play right now.
42:13It's out of the rotation.
42:15Also into the game another blue do-devil.
42:17Come on.
42:19Mawash.
42:19He's number 10.
42:21He was taken 10th back in the June draft, 2025.
42:25He played with Khan and Cooper Flagg in Durham.
42:31Miles Bridges is done.
42:33Hornets will bring Trey Mann into the game for the first time.
42:36Josh Allen.
42:37Sorry, Josh Green comes in.
42:40Grant Williams, Caulk Brenner, and Seon James
42:42is going to finish up the game together for the Hornets.
42:56They'll paint the picture.
42:58Hornets are going to have a quick turnaround.
42:59They've got a game against Indiana.
43:01What would you do?
43:02You just win a ball game.
43:03You play your normal 32 minutes,
43:05and then you've got a game tomorrow, an important one.
43:08What are you thinking about mentally?
43:09What are you doing physically to get ready for tomorrow's game?
43:11You don't change anything from what you've done all season long
43:14of back-to-backs, especially home back-to-backs.
43:18A lot of guys will get a stretch, maybe massage,
43:20a little workout after this game, a good meal,
43:23and go home and practice that same routine.
43:25Now, you won't have to shoot around tomorrow,
43:27but you've seen Indiana enough this year to know what you can expect.
43:32Maybe you can tweak the game plan a little bit.
43:34Coaches will stay involved in communication with the players,
43:38but it's a quick turnaround.
43:39Mentally, you're going to have to be locked in early in that game
43:44as you're playing arrested in the other patients' team.
43:49The team that's obviously going nowhere to play in postseason,
43:53so they're playing with house money right now.
43:55You don't know who's going to show up and play,
43:56but you know they're going to play hard
43:58because they know they only have a certain amount of games left.
44:01You're going to watch out for this group.
44:04Pat Connick comes in.
44:08Veterans, you look at the minutes for the stars here.
44:12Caniple 32, Brazos 27,
44:14Yabate 24, Miller 31,
44:16and LaBello only 25 minutes.
44:19Those are minutes that you should be able to recover from quickly.
44:29And the Hornets kept pushing on in the fourth quarter.
44:30Grant Williams had to bat it towards the rip.
44:36There was some doubt.
44:38In the first quarter, the Suns raced out to a lead.
44:40They're up by 10 at one point.
44:42They had 41 points at the end of the first quarter.
44:45They led by eight.
44:46But the second quarter, the worst turn,
44:48everything continued as the third,
44:50and the Hornets kept pushing on in the fourth quarter.
45:01Louis keeps it.
45:03Freya did get it off the top.
45:05Jacklock violation.
45:07Hornets on the year.
45:09For those who haven't paid that close attention,
45:11they have really excelled.
45:13Second games of back-to-backs.
45:14They have played 15 sets of back-to-back games,
45:18consecutive nights.
45:19Out of the second game,
45:21they have won 10 of the 15.
45:22That is hard to do in the NBA.
45:24No doubt.
45:25Especially, like I said,
45:27lack of rest,
45:28lack of game preparation
45:31as far as the game plan you want to put in.
45:34It's a lot of whiteboard chalk,
45:36some video,
45:37but really nothing you can go over on the floor
45:40like you would for a shoot around.
45:44Then another block shot by Colt Brenner.
45:49This win is going to give the Hornets 41 wins on the year.
45:52They'll be back to five games over 500.
45:55And would assure the Hornets of not having a losing season.
45:58Oh.
46:00It's a team that a year ago won 19 games.
46:04So already a 22-win turnaround.
46:09Oh, nice job with the left-hand Trey man.
46:13A really tough shot.
46:16That's the only shot he could get off
46:19the amount of time that he had.
46:24model watch.
46:29I'll watch from South Sudan.
46:31Raised in Uganda.
46:34Was discovered at a Luolte camp over in Africa.
46:39He is tall.
46:407'1", 250.
46:44Congratulations to your Hornets 41 wins on the year 41 and 36 they will remain in eighth place in the
46:52Eastern Conference with a full
46:55You can tell the players do the importance of this game
46:59What it meant as far as staying in eighth spot their scoreboard they're standing watching right now

47:07Sets you up for tomorrow
