00:00...off the top of the broadcast, what an incredible year he's had in his rookie year.
00:04If you want to get a little more insight, I would highly recommend the Old Man and the Three podcast,
00:08originally started by JJ Reddick. He's not on it anymore, guys, because he's the coach of the Lakers.
00:13But you had Cooper Flagg, Ryan Nembhard, and you had Max Christie on it this week.
00:17Some great stories. You could see the camaraderie of those guys and get even more insight
00:22as to when Cooper Flagg became a Dallas Maverick.
00:25Well, back on March 5th, the final basket of that game was scored by Orlando's Wendell Carter, Jr.,
00:31and he scored the first basket of tonight's game.
00:33I hope that's not going to be the hardest basket before tonight.
00:38I hope that's not going to be the storyline of Wendell Carter winning it with one second to go.
00:45Nachi Marshall returns to missing the last two games due to illness, and he misses his first field goal attempt.
00:51And here's Franz Falker, who finds Paolo VanCaro on the move, and he'll play up heartily now, and pops out.
00:58I think it's important that Dallas is ready to play.
01:01This is a desperate team.
01:04Nicely done, Max Christie, three-pointer.
01:06You were saying.
01:07A very desperate team. They've lost eight out of the last ten games, and I just think they're going to
01:12come out.
01:13Jamal Mosley, head coach, has history.
01:16They want to be ready from the start, like finished by Suggs on the lead side.
01:22Well, so far, so good for Orlando.
01:24They've had three good looks, two of which have gone in, and one darn near went in.
01:28That was Jalen Suggs with the basket.
01:30Love to see Max Christie shoot his first three-pointer of the night a moment ago with confidence.
01:351 of 12 the other night, 3 of 25 from the floor in the last three games.
01:43Skip pass by VanCaro, finds Jalen Suggs, a little off-balance, then finds Desmond Fain, who has had maybe a
01:51great game in this building.
01:52Well, he wanted to be a maverick, so he has flashbacks from over at the TCU.
01:58Yep.
01:58He wants to let him know what they missed out on.
02:02He's made no secret about that.
02:04Marshall from the corner, misses it, and Suggs, good pass up ahead.
02:08Vons Wagner, the catch, he's able to elude Cooper and score a transition.
02:12Makes up a good step.
02:13Absolutely.
02:13Kind of the activity skill.
02:14Boy, what a great angle he took after catching the pass.
02:17Max Christie again.
02:18You'll love to see it.
02:24Bain on a drive.
02:25You know, one of the things before the game that Jake Kidd said about Max Christie, he goes, you know,
02:28in the past, Max wouldn't have kept shooting the ball.
02:31We need him to shoot.
02:32He went 1 for 12 the other night, and he said, look, I'm glad he kept shooting the ball.
02:37And here's Cooper shooting from the outside, and the Mavericks make their third three in the game.
02:41Two for Christie and one for Coop.
02:43And what an extraordinary pass from Najee Marshall, finding him in tight quarters.
02:48The best on this team at getting in the lane.
02:50Yes.
02:51Touching there and finding the perimeter guy.
02:54Well, Dallas has been pretty determined to take threes tonight.
02:57Five of their six-shot attempts have been threes as Franz Wagner rolls one in in the paint.
03:01Well, it's, for the Mavericks, just make it, not just take it.
03:05When they make them, they're virtually unbeatable.
03:08And now a chance for a three-point play.
03:10No.
03:11That drive by Cooper Flagg did not result in a basket, but he does draw a foul and will shoot
03:17a pair of free throws.
03:19First things first, Max Christie on the board from the perimeter.
03:22Well, so far so good for Max, squared away.
03:25Nice follow-through, Cooper getting in the action, wide open, scuffed into that three from the corner.
03:32Now it's all 15 in the sentence on the shot card.
03:35And this is not going to be a free throw situation, by the way, for Coop.
03:38It's a side out of bounds.
03:40On the first team foul of the game for the Orlando Magic.
03:44Dribble handoff to Coop.
03:46Hesitation and drives on Carter.
03:48Missed it again.
03:49Tip-out, rebound, Marshall.
03:51Marshall takes it inside.
03:53This one is going to be free throws.
03:57They have Nige back on the floor, of course.
04:00Some trouble for Orlando.
04:02Palo Banqueiro, their top scorer and rebounder, has some foul trouble here early in the game.
04:08He's got two.
04:10Marshall has 17 games and 20 points or more this year, tying the most he's had in a season in
04:16his career.
04:16Of course, he played what he did last year in his breakout season with Dallas.
04:21First year with the Mavs last year, and season number two has gone even better for Marshall.
04:26He's appeared in 72 games as of tonight, starting 45, averaging 15 and a half.
04:31Yeah, easily his best season with that 15 points a game.
04:36He's been fantastic paired up with Cooper Flagg this year.
04:40They enjoyed being on the court together.
04:42Marshall to the free throw line made of both.
04:44Tie game.
04:45Lost ball.
04:46Tristan Da Silva has gone into the game for the Magic.
04:50Push.
04:52And Orlando turns it over.
04:56Now Cooper on the perimeter.
04:57A number one pick from Duke against another number one pick from Duke.
05:01Flagg takes Banqueiro off to bounce into the paint.
05:04I'll take Cooper.
05:05Yes, me too.
05:06Well, he just worked Banqueiro in the middle of that floor.
05:09And a block shot but a foul as Banqueiro comes back to the other end to do his own work
05:14on the spin move.
05:16He draws a foul on Daniel Gafford and a trip to the free throw line.
05:21Nice reverse.
05:23And then Gaff stepping up, policing the middle.
05:27To that left hand.
05:29The lead has not caught on yet, and it's been basically a full season.
05:34Season of averaging over 20 points, six and a half rebounds, four and a half assists.
05:39Per game, a two per flag.
05:43That Gafford challenge at the rim as Banqueiro misses the first, you know, you'd have to really look at it
05:48to see if it was or wasn't a foul.
05:50But the one thing I'd say is Banqueiro went at the rim in a way to force the refs to
05:54make the call.
05:54That's what you want to do.
05:56And looking back at it, it looked like it was pretty close to being clean.
06:01He attacks from the perimeter as well as anybody in the league at his size.
06:08Right.
06:09Yeah, you can run offense to him.
06:11He's a talented guy.
06:13Banqueiro goes to the line a lot.
06:14Fourth in the league in three throws attempted per game.
06:16Over eight per contest.
06:18Nice.
06:18Just went one of two.
06:19Attacked by Marshall.
06:21Tristan De Silva with a rebound.
06:24Even though there's a two foul start to the game for Banqueiro, he stayed out there when De Silva went
06:31in.
06:31He went in for Wagner and obviously they're still managing Wagner's minutes.
06:34But this being the second game back for Franz Wagner for Jamal Mosley and the Orlando Magic.
06:40Just getting back, you're always going to manage guys that have been off for such a long time.
06:48Wagner missed the last 22 games and 47 of the last 51.
06:53De Silva deflection, but it still falls for Gafford.
06:55Gafford's bumps.
06:57Wendell Carter Jr. comes over to help.
06:59And when he did, he oversell overzealously, that is, bumps into Gafford.
07:04And the first foul of the game is called on Carter and the third team foul on Orlando early on.
07:11A lot of bodies done in there banging on Gaff.
07:14A lot of big bodies.
07:15Yes.
07:15Just bodies.
07:16You know, Orlando has certainly missed Wagner.
07:21Yes, no question.
07:22As a player.
07:23That 21 points is big.
07:25I think the other thing, though, they're going to have to get back as a team to their defensive weight.
07:29They've always been a good defensive team, a team that's really relied on their defense.
07:36And headed into the playoff, I think that'll be the focus.
07:39For this Orlando team.
07:41Daniel Gafford had a really nice month of March.
07:43Averaged over 15 points.
07:45Shot 71% from the floor.
07:48And his month of March, it wasn't the first game when he played Orlando,
07:52but that's where he really started going in a positive direction.
07:55Yeah.
07:55And he had a 12-point, 13-rebound game down in Orlando on March 5th, the game the Mavericks had
08:00a chance to win.
08:01Lost by one at the end.
08:03Jalen Suggs was a big part of the comeback.
08:05He just missed a pull-up that was in and out.
08:06And now here's Nimhorn on the attack.
08:09And he was going to have a go at another Zaga player Suggs.
08:12Balls out of bounds off Orlando.
08:15Lucky break.
08:17Speaking of Gafford, Mark, if you take a look at him.
08:20And he almost lost it, but it ends up going off of Orlando.
08:27Gaff made a play there.
08:28Yeah, he certainly did.
08:30And now Gafford goes out of the game, and Dwight Powell is in.
08:35Nice to see that everything's okay with Gafford.
08:37He wasn't even listed on the injury report.
08:39Remember that he fell to the floor hard late in the second quarter on Tuesday night in Milwaukee.
08:44And didn't play the rest of the game due to a right-shouldered stinger.
08:49Are those stingers?
08:52No fun.
08:53Not fun.
08:54Not at all.
08:56Way better than something structural, though, when you're falling.
08:59Step through move.
09:00Lost ball.
09:01Nimhard, there was a deflection by Orlando.
09:03And Nimhard's attempt to keep it in play is sealed by Desmond Bain.
09:08De Silva run off the three-point line.
09:10Now he's got it back.
09:11Show and go by Tristan De Silva, the second-year forward from Colorado, and a nice drive and finish.
09:17Straight line after the move.
09:18He was wide open.
09:20And a very nifty move.
09:27Drive to the basket.
09:28Najee Marshall.
09:30First main field goal for Marshall in the game tonight.
09:33A little giddy-up in there.
09:34Who's better at that than Marshall?
09:37Not many.
09:37He really attacks the rim extremely well.
09:41At a good size, too.
09:43Now, Banqueiro.
09:44He bulldozes his way to the basket.
09:46Strong move.
09:47I mean, really strong lower body when you talk Banqueiro.
09:53First basket.
09:54He's got three assists in the game.
09:55Now, Koop with a floater inside.
09:57Comes up short.
10:01Orlando has a chance to take the lead.
10:04As we're at the midpoint of the first quarter.
10:06Here's Banqueiro.
10:07Finishes and a foul.
10:09Koop is shot.
10:12Foul on Koop is his first.
10:13Banqueiro can complete a three-point play when we come back after the first time out of the game.
10:21He did not win Western Conference Rookie of the Month.
10:25Instead, those honors went to Maxime Renaud of the Sacramento Kings.
10:30Congrats to him.
10:31But, unfortunately, despite the outstanding numbers for Koop in the month of March.
10:36Well, he has bigger plans, of course, than Rookie of the Month.
10:42He's won it.
10:43He has three times this year.
10:45Yep.
10:46Spread the wealth, right?
10:48That's what people say.
10:51Brandon Williams is in, so is Clay Thompson.
10:54Orlando playing a little match-up zone right now.
10:56Oh, and the zone buster, of course, is the three-point shooter from the corner, Clay Thompson.
11:01That one rims out.
11:02Jamal Cain, who's been in the rotation as of late, just had his two-way contract converted less than two
11:09weeks ago.
11:14Jalen sucks with the drive and the pull-up and the basket.
11:18Played last time.
11:19I had, like, four or five threes the last time these two teams hooked up.
11:25Including a three with about 30 seconds to go.
11:27They made a one-point game.
11:31There it is.
11:32Step on the sideline.
11:35That dreaded sideline will start shifting on you.
11:38Here's Chris Middleton subbing in for Coop.
11:41Number 20, Chris Middleton.
11:44Chris Middleton appearing in his 24th game since joining the Mavericks in an early February three-way trade between the
11:51Mavs, Washington Wizards, and Charlotte Hornets.
11:55So, now you're down to Najee Marshall as the lone starter on the floor for the Mavs with four different
12:00players in the game off the bench.
12:03De Silva on the movers.
12:06Wanted to go back to Cain, but Dallas prevented that from happening.
12:10They faked it.
12:11Carter just turns the corner and drives hard to the basket and draws a foul.
12:15The 4-53 left to the first.
12:16Force the officials to make that call.
12:19That was a well-out call.
12:20A lot of times, all you have to do is be aggressive.
12:23That's what Carter does against Dwight Fowl.
12:26And Dwight out of position, gets called for the foul.
12:29And being physical and aggressive, that's in the DNA of Orlando.
12:33They draw the second most fouls in the league and take the most free throws per game of any team
12:39in the NBA, over 27 per contest.
12:42They have three so far tonight with two more coming right now for Wendell Carter Jr. here in the first.
12:51Hey Mavs fans, DraftKings Pick 6 is now available in Texas.
12:55You can make picks live once games have tipped off.
12:58Download the DraftKings Pick 6 app now and sign up with code Mavs.
13:03Carter had 14 points and 6 boards against Atlanta on Wednesday.
13:08Deemed that the Magic lost 130 to 101.
13:13Their last two losses have been by 29 points to Atlanta and by 52 points to Toronto.
13:23Hey, not playing well down the stretch, man.
13:26They need to turn that around.
13:28For three.
13:28Blake Thompson, yes sir.
13:29Ends at 8-0 Orlando run and brings Dallas back to within two.
13:33We've talked to the shooting wheel down the stretch.
13:38He is 40% on threes in games he's played off the bench this season.
13:43And has set a Maverick record for most threes made in a season playing off the bench.
13:49177 made as of now.
13:52Two chances missed in deep for Orlando and attack mode Brandon Williams.
13:56It's no good.
13:57Offensive rebound to White Powell.
13:59Middleton joins the play now to even things up at 5v5 and it's Suggs with a steal.
14:06Suggs in the passing lane, looks off the defense, finds Jamal Kane for a three-pointer.
14:13You gotta jump back in that zone.
14:15You're liking it.
14:17Boy, that live ball turnover sure did hurt the Mavs.
14:21Jalen Suggs doesn't have enough games to play.
14:23Otherwise, he'd be in the top five in the league and steals.
14:26And it's one of those no-dip threes there by Klay Thompson.
14:29Caught it up high and kept it there.
14:30Shot and missed.
14:31Ready to play.
14:32Oh, no.
14:32Tristan Da Silva going for the dunk.
14:35And he was fouled.
14:36You're going to go, go, I always say, certainly went strong, man.
14:41Orlando trying to get out and transition, pushing the ball at the Mavericks defense.
14:48You will get to the line and benefit from that.
14:53Well, post-All-Star break, Tristan Da Silva's averaging 13 points per game, 48 from the floor percentage-wise, 40
14:59% on three.
15:01He manned the full spot that Franz Wagner was missing during his long absence due to a left ankle sprain,
15:09at least for some portion of the time that Wagner has been out due to that ankle injury.
15:14Yeah, it's a blessing sometimes to a team when somebody gets hurt.
15:17You don't wish that on anyone.
15:19But it gives other guys an opportunity to gain valuable experiences, if you would, for the future.
15:28And Da Silva has done that.
15:30Four-year college player in Boulder at Colorado.
15:34And year two has seen an improvement across the board from season one.
15:38Javon Carter and Goga Batase have gone in.
15:41Jed Howard went a little bit ago for the Magic as well.
15:44And John Polakidis has stepped in for the map.
15:47And here's a steal by Carter, but it comes back into the hands of Polakidis.
15:51And one-break shooter to another on the pass.
15:54Polakidis to Klay Thompson.
15:56That's a good find.
15:57It's a great find.
15:57I was just here thinking, do you think Polakidis ever thought he'd get an assist to Klay Thompson
16:01as he was coming up?
16:02Cool.
16:03Eighth game for John Polakidis.
16:06Now he had 40 friends, family, and guests at the game in Milwaukee on Tuesday night, that is, because he's
16:14from Chicago, Naperville, Illinois.
16:16And then his family.
16:18His dad's down here for the weekend to watch these games.
16:20Is that right?
16:20Yeah, John's dad is down here.
16:22Here's Klay cutting off the ball, catching and scoring.
16:27Klay's probably surprised as heck to get an easy bucket like that.
16:33He's provided some needed offense off the bench for the Mavs, leading Dallas with eight points.
16:38Goga Batase, offensive rebound after a runner was missed by Tristan Da Silva.
16:42And they're trying to deny Carter.
16:45He ends up coming away with the catch.
16:47Now a screening roll on the side.
16:49Batase screens.
16:50Carter shoots and hits.
16:51Good screen.
16:53Used well by Carter.
16:55Orlando looks very sharp offensively this first quarter.
17:02Big screen foul.
17:03Tops and a pass.
17:05And a foul's been called.
17:08Foul on Javon Carter.
17:10There's a tie-out on the floor with 2.08 left in the first quarter.
17:13Matching up seven.
17:18Correction, the foul's on number eight.
17:23Number 12 in the Raptors as of January 2018.
17:28Here is a wrap-around, a gaffer for the slam dunk.
17:31Brandon Williams making a very Derek Harper-like assist pass.
17:36I don't know about that, but that was an excellent attack by Williams.
17:39Creating an easy opportunity inside.
17:42Well, man, you got your flowers from the crowd.
17:44For those, obviously, who are watching at home and didn't see it at the timeout.
17:47Standing O from the crowd here at the American Airlines Center.
17:50Which I would expect nothing less, of course.
17:55And...
17:59Jamal was very excited tonight whenever I told him that it was your bobblehead night tonight.
18:05It was very fun.
18:08It's awesome.
18:09You know what I mean?
18:10But I don't know what to expect about a bobblehead.
18:13I have my own personal bobblehead right here.
18:16Well, it's a wonderful thing.
18:18And this whole year, of course, the 45th anniversary season.
18:21It's special.
18:22Guess what?
18:23Five years from now, 50th anniversary season, it's going to be even more special.
18:27There will be many, many remembrances, of course, during that season.
18:31But that's for them.
18:33There still is going to be a bobblehead night when the Mavs play their regular season finale
18:38against the Chicago Bulls.
18:39And that will be the Reunion Arena, the Reunion Rowdies bobblehead.
18:43Tell you what, that'll be special in itself.
18:47Have you guys seen it?
18:48Does the arena shake like an earthquake or something?
18:50How does an arena bobblehead work?
18:51People are just going to have to find out on April the 12th, man.
18:54I'll tell you.
18:55I can't...
18:56I'm assuming you're going to be here.
18:58Oh, look at that.
18:59There we go.
19:00I appreciate you two brothers.
19:02Been with you all for a long time.
19:0416 years on this broadcast, man.
19:06And it has been fantastic.
19:08There we go.
19:09We love it, Derek Harper, man.
19:12I tell you what, man.
19:13Counterfeit, because there's hair on this bobblehead.
19:16I don't know.
19:17That makes it a collectible.
19:19I might protest that bobblehead.
19:22I've had the great thrill of working with a lot of great people and partners as analysts.
19:27And Brad Davis on radio.
19:29And Bob Ortegal.
19:30And, you know, Rolando's done some games over the years as well.
19:34And I'm not going to lie, man.
19:36There's been many a pinch-myself moment.
19:39First time I sat next to you.
19:40First time I sat next to Brad.
19:42Because Skin and I, you know, when you grow up watching guys and all of a sudden we're sitting here
19:46talking ball.
19:47And you're doing a really good job of pretending to be interested in what I have to say about basketball.
19:50Well, I appreciate that.
19:52Well, I appreciate that.
19:53Well, I appreciate that.
19:53Thank you very much.
19:53I appreciate it.
19:55Well, everybody has their own perspective on it.
19:59You know what I mean?
20:00You can have an opinion about basketball just because you play.
20:04I don't mean you're the only one that knows.
20:07Here's a lot for Bataze from Wagner and Bataze unable to make the catch and the ball's out of bounds.
20:13I can tell.
20:14I can see smoke's coming out of Skin's ears.
20:16Yeah.
20:16You know what?
20:17No, you just gave me a memory.
20:18You were talking about moments with Harp.
20:20One of my favorite moments just in life is standing next to this guy when we had the Dirk Ceremony
20:27as Brandon Lynch goes all the way and kicks it out and just standing next to Harp, sitting next to
20:32you right here watching Dirk Ceremony and seeing the reverence you had for that Harp and the way you felt
20:37about that, I was like, I can't believe how special this is.
20:41I always say, man, anything that comes your way, you deserve, that's outstanding.
20:46Yeah.
20:47Everything coming Brandon Williams' way.
20:48He deserves it.
20:49Yeah, he deserves it.
20:51He's one of the quickest guys to the rim in the league right now.
20:54Nice finish inside.
20:56Blair Will.
20:59Wagner, three or four from the floor.
21:01He's got a half dozen points.
21:02Orlando up by five.
21:04Middleton trying to chop two points off that advantage.
21:07And misses on the pull-up jumper.
21:10He's trying to figure out why did I have to go out there and clap my hands.
21:14They want to see you in here.
21:15Oh, they want to see you.
21:17I'm trying to save steps, man.
21:21How hard it is to get up and go out there.
21:23Hey, Siri, save me steps.
21:27Middleton lost it in the lane, and now it's Desmond Bain holding on to it.
21:31Not going to be able to take it down to the last shot, but pretty close with a three-ish
21:37second differential.
21:40High-screen roll, and Bain draws a foul.
21:45He is so good at that, Bain's, that is, to take a look at.
21:49He will come it up with a steal, getting in the open court.
21:52And he just has the savvy and quickness.
21:56And I think he got a little help from the defender on that ball going in as well.
22:02He's been so consistent since Christmas.
22:0536 games, 32 of them in double figures.
22:08But two-thirds of the time, 23 out of the 36 games, you can pencil them in through between 12
22:15and 18 points.
22:17There hasn't been a huge variance, and certainly when you do look at variance, it's been a whole lot more
22:23games of exceeding 18 points,
22:25and it's been falling short of 12 points.
22:28Matter of fact, one of the reasons he fell short of 12 points in the game was he got hurt
22:31five minutes into that game on the road against a wall.
22:39And here he is attacking, eight seconds is a ton of time for Brandon Williams to go coast-to-coast.
22:44He drives inside, his shot went off the other side of the rim.
22:47Desmond Bain headed back the other way, got away in attempts, and that's the end of the court.
22:52I think the Mavs are fortunate to just be down, what, seven points, six points, the way Orlando shot the
23:00basketball.
23:01Come on!
23:04Memarge with it, Cooper's back in.
23:07Play, Gafford, and Polakidis complete the line-up.
23:10Catch on the move, flinging up a shot as Cooper Black.
23:13Good presence that time.
23:16Knowing that the contact was headed his blaze.
23:19That was nicely done, that was a flag fling, and in it goes.
23:23And Skin rightly said, uh-oh, because Desmond Bain ripped it out to the corner and was wide open.
23:29He's one of those excellent corner three-point shooters.
23:33Millen's within 10 feet of him next concerning.
23:38For the year, Desmond Bain, 39% on threes.
23:42His career number is about 41%.
23:44That's too much time, too much space, you name it.
23:47He's not going to miss many of those as you take a look at his numbers.
23:52Since February 1st.
23:54Set from the three-point line.
23:58He and Kevin Durant, the only players in the NBA since Feb 1,
24:02will be averaging over 20 points per game, 50% shooting from the floor,
24:06and 40% shooting from the three-point line.
24:08Very, very impressive.
24:11Two misses, and a blockout inside amongst the tree.
24:14It's nicely done by Javon Carter.
24:17Proviso East High School.
24:19From Maywood, Illinois, in the Chicago area.
24:21Pull-up three made by Wendell Carter, Jr.
24:23He did a good job gathering himself and stepping into that shot.
24:29That wasn't just some little catch-and-cheek thing.
24:31He just proved as a three-point shooter.
24:35Catch here by Nimhart.
24:36Any further probe into the paint was denied by Jamal Cain.
24:40Now they've got Klay shooting a three over Cain.
24:43Yes, Sutter!
24:44Wow.
24:46Klay's cooking tonight.
24:4910-36 left in the second quarter.
24:51With an eight-point lead as we play early in the second quarter with the game.
24:56Moses got to be happy with what he's seeing.
24:58Yes.
24:59Early in this game, they've had their struggles of late.
25:01We just talked about earlier.
25:03You did, Mark.
25:04Yep.
25:05So, trying to get off this bat.
25:07And, of course, you know, we got Moses back, that's for sure.
25:10We love Jamal his time with the Mavericks as an offensive coach for six seasons.
25:14And then moving on to Orlando as the head coach.
25:17And he's turned things around there.
25:1941-41 last year, but 47-35 the season prior to that.
25:25They had high hopes going into this year.
25:27And, you know, they're in the play-in situation.
25:29And could get out of it, Skip.
25:31For sure.
25:31They just got to, like, get some momentum going.
25:35Daniel Gafford, low clock in the paint, missed a shot.
25:38He doesn't seem concerned.
25:39I spoke with him a little bit before the game.
25:42And he talked about it being part of the process.
25:46You know, he talked about the injury.
25:49So, he's confident about his team, which he should be.
25:54Of course.
25:55He's the second-best player.
25:59Desmond Bain just connected on a three-pointer.
26:01Orlando leads, swells to 11.
26:0411 points is the total that Klay Thompson has.
26:07Desmond Bain staying right with me.
26:09But he's still got a three-to-way.
26:10Thanks for the Gafford screen.
26:12He nails it.
26:13Wow.
26:14He doesn't see the bucket a lot of times.
26:16He just pops that wrist.
26:19That muscle memory is going to go.
26:20Serious thing.
26:23Wendell Carter, Jr., in exchange with Jamal Kane.
26:26And Kane on the hard drive to the basket and draws a foul with 9.06 left in the second
26:31quarter.
26:32And the foul on Dallas, their first of the quarter.
26:35Barely, rarely saw that basket, but to your point, muscle memory, the flick of the wrist.
26:42And when Klay goes on a heater, it's like a spiritual experience.
26:46Watch what he can do.
26:49It is something else.
26:515 of 7 from the floor.
26:524 of 6 on 3.
26:5414 points so far in the game.
26:56Klay Thompson.
26:58He's got two milestones that he can accomplish before the end of the year.
27:03Another season of 200 three-pointers.
27:05He's six away.
27:07And he's got an excellent chance before the conclusion of the year to move into the top 100 in the
27:13history of the NBA and point score.
27:17Promotional item for next year.
27:19Hear me out.
27:20Uh-oh.
27:20Virtual reality three goggles where you put them on here at the arena and you can see what Klay sees.
27:27Okay.
27:28Right?
27:28Wouldn't that be fun?
27:29I've heard of worse ideas.
27:30I'm not good at all.
27:31Thank you, man.
27:32I'm an idea, man.
27:34Here's Nimar.
27:34He scores through contact.
27:40How much longer is Klay playing?
27:42Oh, he's got a lot.
27:43And a lesson reported on this couple a few games ago.
27:46He said he's got more things.
27:48And he's not putting them on blast what they are.
27:51But he said he's got more things he wants to accomplish before the end of his career.
27:55Oh, I thought Harper's talking about tonight like a more or less like 30 minutes or something.
28:00Yeah, right.
28:00Pull up Cooper.
28:01Yes, sir.
28:02I like him inside right there.
28:04He's using his body, bumping off the defense.
28:07But you know when you're an old, I've experienced one.
28:10I don't even call it play.
28:11Oh, he's mature.
28:12Yeah, very mature.
28:13But sure player, the minute you have a couple of bad games, people have you retired.
28:18Right.
28:19You know that.
28:19All of a sudden, the tweets start coming in.
28:21Oh, he's washed.
28:22He's washed.
28:23Here we go.
28:25In and out.
28:26But tap it back in that direction.
28:29Powell, get it back to him.
28:30There you go.
28:31Swing pass.
28:32Klay drives.
28:32Slams.
28:33Cooper.
28:35He's going to attack mode.
28:38Well, all that attention Klay is drawing certainly opens things up for the baseline drive.
28:43And the jam by Cooper.
28:45That was fun.
28:47On the move to Silva.
28:49Tough attempt with the left.
28:50A strip of Wendell Carter, Jr.
28:53And he's going back up for the shot.
28:54And here's the drive to jam.
28:56Oh, man.
28:59The explosion.
29:01So good off too hard.
29:03There he is.
29:04Look at that.
29:06I'm like, would you hang it in the loop?
29:07Yeah.
29:08Just not in the room for the break in.
29:09What he's thinking.
29:12Oh, boy.
29:14Not there.
29:15What they trying to smear jelly on the Mona Lisa or something?
29:18You're doing something crazy.
29:18We're doing that.
29:19And we're doing that.
29:21Here is Carter with a tough shot.
29:24Offensive rebound by Da Silva.
29:26Back cut by Banquero.
29:28Steal Dallas.
29:29Cooper in the open court.
29:31And we like that.
29:32And he draws a ton of attention.
29:35Deflected kick out pass to Najee Marshall.
29:37And things slow up on this transition chance.
29:41Drive.
29:42Dish.
29:43And Marshall for three from Flagg.
29:46But getting his sickle in the net.
29:48He just puts the ball down.
29:50Attacks the defense in front of you.
29:52And moves it to an open shot.
29:54Marshall steps in two.
29:55Great pass, too.
29:57Easy to catch and release.
30:01Against two defenders.
30:03Van Carroll.
30:03They forced the ball out of his hands.
30:06Suggs with a skip back three.
30:07Wide left.
30:11Max Christie made a couple of early threes.
30:13He secured the defensive rebound.
30:16Four starters.
30:17And then Powell off the bench.
30:19On the floor right now.
30:20And Cooper through.
30:21Contacts!
30:23Good focus.
30:24Yeah.
30:24He thought he drew it.
30:28Kept his head right on the rim.
30:30Let it hit!
30:31Cooper is a hooper.
30:33As he throws that shot in.
30:34And he had already ascended in to double figures tonight.
30:37And now has 13.
30:41At the free throw line.
30:43Given up by Vancaro.
30:44Then given up by Carter.
30:45Way short on the three-point attempt for Carter.
30:48Javon Carter after the pass of Wendell Carter Jr.
30:52Dinhard directing traffic.
30:54And the pass through traffic is deflected out of bounds.
30:59Call is Mavs ball here.
31:01Took the bump.
31:03Back right through the contact.
31:04B-Rail!
31:06B-Rail!
31:10Oh!
31:11Oh!
31:20Oh!
31:22Now we're going to have a challenge.
31:24So the call on the floor first was Dallas ball.
31:27Then Orlando ball in the out-of-bounds call.
31:30And this call is going to be challenged by Jay Kidd.
31:34With exactly six minutes gone by and six left in the court.
31:38The encore ruling was Orlando ball.
31:40And Dallas has called timeout to challenge the play.
31:44Still charged the timeout due to a mandatory situation.
31:47However, they have one more time.
31:48They really did.
31:49Because he could have easily stuck his hand out there.
31:51Instead, he moves it.
31:53Because I think he realized that it wasn't.
31:5515 seconds on the shot clock.
31:57He moved it in the Matrix-like fashion.
32:02Let's go now!
32:04Is that the blue pill?
32:06Anybody?
32:08Here's Brandon Williams for three.
32:11And a rebound for Vankero.
32:13You're going to watch out.
32:16You're going to watch out.
32:20Vankero going to drop it off in the lane.
32:22Jump hook by Wendell Carter Jr.
32:31That's the midpoint of the second quarter.
32:34Maverick's not too long ago were down double figures down by 11.
32:38They got a shot to tie the game.
32:39But they get a three-point basket or three-point play.
32:41They have an offensive rebound by Powell.
32:44And here's the potential three-point basket.
32:46This thing's tied.
32:4811-point deficit.
32:50A race quickly.
32:51Back on level terms at 53-0.
32:54You get a couple to go.
32:56Early to gain confidence.
32:58And Christie kind of looked back.
32:59He's stepping into his three.
33:01He was confident.
33:01And off the top of my head, that's five second-chance points that Dwight Powell has created.
33:06Mr. De Silva connecting on a three-pointer to answer.
33:09They need that.
33:14De Silva, as I mentioned earlier, a 40% three-pointer post.
33:17That's our break.
33:18Brandon Williams, great move.
33:19It draws the foul on the aforementioned De Silva.
33:23He can go left to right.
33:25It's one thing to go right to left.
33:27But he went left to right.
33:30And that was spectacular.
33:33Got to put him on the line.
33:35He's one of those dudes, man, that has so much in his game.
33:41For sure.
33:41And we saw that kill a crossover there.
33:44And it earns him a trip to the line.
33:45With 4.47 left in the second quarter, Williams for the year, 79% on the freeway.
34:06Had 18 points Tuesday in Milwaukee.
34:09Averaging 13 per game this year.
34:16Came together for him late last season due to opportunity because of so many injuries.
34:22Two-week contract converted to a standard deal.
34:27And Williams has been a fixture in the rotation this year.
34:3060-0 games, 22 minutes a game.
34:32We played so well last year.
34:37I think they were forced to give him a contract because somebody was going to the way he played at
34:50the end of the year.
34:51Yeah, he'd be on somebody else's team right now.
34:54Last year was B. Will's year to prove that I'm done with this G League thing.
34:59I told you when you go down there and show out.
35:01Yeah.
35:02They send you right back.
35:0329 points a game.
35:04Yeah.
35:04The best lesson in that ever, of course, was J.J. Barea, who went to the Fort Worth Flyers and
35:09dropped 41 and 43.
35:11And he's back with the big club very, very shortly.
35:15Well, that night after the game.
35:17Just drive on over from Fort Worth.
35:18He's out on the bench at the end of the game.
35:20Oh, man.
35:21At the end of the Mavs game.
35:21At the end of the Mavs game.
35:22Oh, J.J.
35:25Well, typically, it's Carter putting people on the line.
35:29He's tied with a league lead in most fouls committed.
35:32But Wendell Carter Jr. has made four out of four free throws tonight and shares the lead among starting players
35:38for the Magic in scoring with 11.
35:40They have 12 off the bench from Tristan De Silva to lead Alton.
35:45Marshall attack mode.
35:46Back to the right hand to shoot.
35:48After the left-hand dribble penetration.
35:50Oh, Williams.
35:50He saves it in.
35:51Hustles after it.
35:52But De Silva's the one who ends up picking it up from Orlando.
35:57Indeed, yeah.
35:59Don't let Desmond Bain get a good look.
36:03Mancaro a little reluctant to take an outside shot.
36:07He's got one of nine on threes in his last three games.
36:10And hasn't been shooting the ball well in a period over the last three.
36:13But Wendell Carter catches deep in the paint and elevates and detonates.
36:17That was such a smart play.
36:19The offense got stuck.
36:20Yeah.
36:21And Carter just stepped into the inside.
36:24Sealed his guy.
36:26And ended up with a dunk.
36:28Well, after Dallas tied it at 53 all, Orlando has scored seven in a row.
36:33Yeah, it's about responding to runs in this league.
36:39Empty possession there for Dallas.
36:41Middleton missed, but Bain lost it on a spin dribble.
36:44Suggs back as the last line of defense makes a play.
36:48He's had seven steals in the last two games.
36:51I love Suggs and Bain in the backcourt together.
36:58Good job there defensively.
37:01And there's another defensive play.
37:07Orlando just needs Jalen Suggs to stay healthy.
37:10Yeah.
37:11He's only had one year in his career where he's played more than 60 games.
37:15Two years ago, Suggs played 75, and he was all defensive second team.
37:21Cooper, an offensive rebound.
37:24Cross-court pass.
37:26Coop finds Marshall.
37:31He's doing some board work there with a couple of offensive rebounds.
37:37Oh, oh, Van Hattet, didn't know what to do with it.
37:40What do you do?
37:41You shoot it.
37:42Shoot.
37:42Let it go.
37:43Get it.
37:43I mean, you're, you're, that's about a 27-footer.
37:46You got to really text everybody and tell him you let it go.
37:49Yeah, man.
37:51You guys see me on the broadcast last night.
37:54There's been Bain shooting three.
37:56Suggs going after the rebound with the match playing.
37:59Attack mode.
38:00Brandon Williams ball poked away.
38:01There's Suggs again.
38:03Always.
38:04Can't chase it down before it goes out of bounds.
38:11Wow.
38:12Pursuit.
38:13Not giving up.
38:14And then almost getting to it before it went out of bounds.
38:17Those football players, or ex-football players, they play hard.
38:22Suggs has a little background as a football guy.
38:27Down the lane, Williams, explosive thrust to the basket.
38:31Ball's knocked out of bounds.
38:33B-Will does get the foul call as well.
38:37Carter's called for the foul.
38:38There's a lot of deliberation going on with four.
38:42Okay, here we go.
38:45It is a shooting foul.
38:47Team foul-wise, Orlando just three in the quarter.
38:51Mavs have two.
38:53B-Will went to the free throw line earlier in the quarter and had an over.
38:58Hoping to fare better here on this trip with 237 left in the second.
39:04And trying to stop this 7-0 Orlando run after the Mavericks had fought back to tie the game.
39:09Around here, we don't say the Mavs, we say us.
39:12Season tickets aren't just tickets.
39:13They're your spot on the team because we don't rent moments.
39:16We own seasons.
39:18So lock in your 20-26-27 season tickets now at Mavs.com slash season tickets and take your position.
39:29Two for two for Brandon Williams.
39:36Williams 0 for 2 on the line earlier in the quarter.
39:38The only missed free throws in the game for Dallas.
39:40They're 8 of 10.
39:41But Orlando, the best in the business at getting to the free throw line.
39:44They're 13 of 15 tonight.
39:46Cooper with the rebound after Vancaro missed.
39:49That was a good control.
39:51Spin cycle, but he missed it at the rim.
39:54And then tipped out of bounds by Dallas.
39:56I was so impressed with how the Mavericks converged on the defensive end and still got the rebound
40:00and then got out in transition like this.
40:02Great instinct by Cooper Flagg there.
40:06Again, started left and able to go back right.
40:09That's special.
40:14Missed some shots around the rim that we're accustomed to seeing make this year.
40:18But 6 of 11 from the floor.
40:20And 13 points for Cooper as that 3 goes in from the corner for Vancaro.
40:28Back up to an 8-point Orlando lead.
40:30Good defense by Suggs.
40:31The screen from Gafford finally helps the cause.
40:33Then Bain with a steal against Max Christie.
40:37Got to take care of that basketball.
40:40There's some good backcourt defense being played tonight by the Magic.
40:45And there's some frontcourt defense played by Dallas.
40:47Gafford took it away from Carter.
40:49Pass ahead by Williams.
40:51Stolen by Bain.
40:53And then at the rim, Gafford back to defend.
40:56And he fouls Vancaro.
40:59Both teams now at 7 turnovers in the game.
41:03Oh, that's what I was looking for.
41:06Yep.
41:07Giving it away too easy as you take a look at the foul by Gaff.
41:12Against Carter on the inside.
41:17Second, he threw it.
41:18That would be a little bit like, oh, I didn't see him.
41:22Got to see him, though.
41:23Got to see him.
41:26Native of Seattle.
41:28One and done season at Duke.
41:30And then the number one pick in the 2022 draft, Palo Vancaro.
41:37He's a top 20 scorer and rebounder.
41:41Barely cracking the top 20, but in the top 20, nonetheless,
41:44in both of those departments.
41:4522.4 points per game.
41:4719, 8.3 rebounds a game.
41:5018.
41:520-2 on the line for Palo Vancaro.
41:56He's thinking about size.
41:58One and five tonight.
42:00No.
42:01He's thinking about how good the flag is.
42:03Here's Brandon Williams.
42:07They're staying on the floor.
42:10Is it bonish yet?
42:11No, not yet.
42:12They're going to check this out, though.
42:17They are checking.
42:21Bain is called for the foul.
42:24First in the last two minutes on Orlando.
42:28Let's see what Justin Van Dyne's got to say here.
42:34Possible flagrant?
42:37The ruling on the floor is a defensive foul on Bain.
42:39The plays under review.
42:40The secret meets the criteria for a flagrant foul.
42:43Oh, wow.
42:46I mean, okay.
42:51This gives everybody, gives the vendors more time to get the popcorn ready at halftime.
42:57Chance to listen to Dead or Alive since you've got 80s music.
43:00We do have a little safety dance a second to go.
43:03Okay, so everyone's clear.
43:05The foul's out fun.
43:06It's not on the driver to the basket, Brandon Williams.
43:09It's this play right here with Bain and Gafford.
43:12It's been a physical last couple of minutes for Gafford, by the way.
43:15That makes more sense then.
43:17Yes.
43:17Yeah.
43:18Because I was thinking it was there.
43:23He's just kind of checking the screener as he rolls right there.
43:29I don't think it's a flagrant, but, you know, it's a force.
43:42124 to go, second quarter on this review for a possible flagrant.
43:47You know.
43:48Desmond Bain of the Orlando Magic.
43:50And this is one of those eye of the beholder deals, you know.
43:53There might be some people that think.
43:55What do you mean?
43:56Like, I could see it's not clear cut.
43:58Okay.
43:59It's not, hey, this is definitively that.
44:02See what he's doing.
44:03See what he's doing.
44:04I'm not doing anything.
44:05I just haven't tried to get you to explain yourself.
44:07Yes.
44:07He didn't know what you were saying.
44:08I could see one ref thinking it's a flagrant and one thinking, ah, it's just normal basketball play.
44:13And then you have, like, okay, well, you know, that's the way it is on a judgment.
44:18What's wrong, man?
44:20What's wrong, man?
44:20What's wrong, man?
44:21Here we go.
44:22After review, Bain winds up with his shoulder and delivers unnecessary contact with his shoulder
44:28into Gaffer.
44:29Therefore, the play's been upgraded to a flagrant foul penalty one.
44:32Gaffer will shoot two free throws and play will resume with Dallas ball on the sideline with
44:3724 seconds on the shot clock.
44:40Like, when I watch that play, it doesn't strike me as flagrant, but obviously they disagree.
44:44Yeah, I would concur with you on that.
44:46You agree with that?
44:47So, and especially from that angle.
44:51Like, I didn't think that the, I would love to get a further explanation about this.
44:56I didn't think that the arm extension away from the body at the end, I don't know if that's
45:00what they're saying is the wind-up part of it or not, but that did look to me like a
45:05wind-up
45:05at the end.
45:05Look, the Mavs will take the call.
45:08Yeah.
45:09And they'll gladly take the two free throws and the ball here.
45:12I'll say what you're not saying.
45:14It was a bad call.
45:15It surprised me.
45:16I'll put it that way.
45:18They miss him sometimes, plain and simple.
45:2168% on free throws for Gaffer this year.
45:25It's been dropping, unfortunately, as of late, after he spent a big chunk of the year in the
45:30high, mid-to-high 70s percentage-wise from the foul line.
45:35The free throw percentage may be dropping, but the scoring average is going up because
45:40of the scoring average for Gafford of over 16 points per game since March 5th, which, by
45:48the way, it was a game against the Orlando Magic when Dallas lost on the road by one.
45:5324-second shot clock.
45:55Let's get to it.
45:56Point is up!
45:57One of two on the line for Daniel Gafford, and the Mavericks with possession because
46:01of the flagrant.
46:03Wait.
46:04And I think this is a double foul.
46:06I think they just called a double foul.
46:08Okay.
46:11Gafford and Bain.
46:12There's a lot going on.
46:17We have double fouls.
46:21Personal fouls, no team fouls.
46:23Justin Van Dyne just came over to the table to clarify that.
46:27Well, that's three for Gafford, so he needs to stay out of foul trouble here the next minute
46:31and a half.
46:36They keep running the same play, and Bain keeps going right into Gaff.
46:43Ball to Cooper.
46:45Wears up, hesitates, drives, and misses.
46:47No call?
46:48Down on the floor, and the save-in by Bain ended up going off Cooper.
46:55And they call that off-the-ball stuff.
46:57Don't call this.
46:58Yeah.
46:59What?
46:59In and out hesitation.
47:02All right, here's the team.
47:03He takes it in.
47:03Here we go.
47:04A lot of contact.
47:07He'll get that call.
47:09Next year, moving forward.
47:10Yes.
47:12Oh, Gaff has four now.
47:14That's not good.
47:15No.
47:18And that's going to obviously end his first half at 12 minutes played.
47:24Now, Marvin Bagley's still out with left shoulder impingement, and the Mavs are making sure
47:29they're going to be able to use Musa Cissi appropriately between now and the end of the season, meaning that
47:36they can't suit him up for every game.
47:38He only has three more games on his 50 games of eligibility on his two-way contract remaining.
47:45So, he's not active tonight.
47:47So, that's going to be a lot on the shoulders of power for the rest of the game, because you
47:53don't have P.J. Washington to play, and it's a small ball five, because he's out with illness.
47:58The only thing else is, it's something that the Mavericks are, has gotten used to this year, somebody being out.
48:06Because Dallas is fifth in the league in manned games lost due to injury and illness issues, 336 games lost.
48:17Wendell Carter Jr., 15 points.
48:20He leads Orlando and scores.
48:23No player on the game has more points than Carter tonight.
48:27Hey!
48:28Well, Thompson has 14 for Dallas, 13.
48:30Tough shot!
48:31Wow.
48:31That was tough!
48:33Difficult finish.
48:35Hello, Wendell, for Brandon Williams.
48:37You have to know when to use Wendell.
48:39There was the perfect time there after the attack.
48:44And there's an attack by Kalen Suggs.
48:47Who has played extremely well?
48:49Let's go back.
