00:00LaBello
00:02Yesterday had 11 assists without a turnover which is really rare in the NBA. He's only done it four times
00:08now
00:10And you play as fast as he does and you try as many things as he does
00:15Turnovers are just gonna happen
00:17But he didn't have one to skew yesterday
00:20Brandon Miller
00:21Left handed off the window right through the chest of Huff
00:26Switched to the left hand
00:31That was wonderful as LaBello was yesterday 11 assist no turnovers mentioned it's the fourth time he's done that
00:37Bucksie boats did 42 times Dell is a hornet
00:43A glacial move by Jay Huff took his time
00:50Huff won a state championship playing for Voyager Academy at Durham, but that is what splashed in his eye by
00:56I'm gonna pull that two triples now from that same spot on each end of the floor
01:03Khan is tied
01:05Let's see on James 13 points
01:10Kobe Brown look for the rebound can't quite holiday
01:19Hornets want a good spurt to begin this third quarter and then just keep on keep it on got a
01:24full day off tomorrow
01:25Let's bet it getting out to Minneapolis
01:27We'll see the Timberwolves on Sunday
01:30The mellow again has Huff in front of him. Good luck
01:34LaBello to the rim
01:36Great balls of fire
01:40Oh, LaBello put it right on top of the seventh quarter
01:43Yeah, he had Huff in front of him for a split second
01:46The crossover pick it up
01:48Phil Huff gonna challenge that shot
01:50And just throws him right through the rim
01:53He actually pulled the rim down with his left hand Dell
01:56Yeah, I think it's basket interference. I was looking at it right now
02:03Guys are glazing him if you got to pull the rim down it's not even a dunk. No Bucky. They're
02:08gonna wave it off
02:11Man, and LaBello say what?
02:14Can't catch a break
02:18All right, this is a bit of a knee knocker Dell
02:21LaBello's got to hit these if LaBello doesn't miss another free-throw the rest of the season needs to go
02:25nine for nine
02:26And he would have a 90% free-throw season, so you really can't step on a crack
02:32For the rest of the campaign. All right, there's one. He needs eight in a row
02:37left hand
02:40Think he grabbed the rim just trying to slow himself down
02:47Still didn't look pretty cool
02:50Get in there LaBello
02:51Take your time
02:57It is virtually impossible to have a 90% free-throw shooting season now for LaBello
03:05The only three Hornets since 1988 that have ever shot 90% the free-throw line Kelly to Puka
03:12Matt Carroll and DJ Augustine. It is not easy. No, it's not
03:18No, you're an unbelievable shooter. You never did
03:22Thanks for reminding me
03:25You probably would have focused a little bit more if you do you can be working for the guy who's
03:28obsessed with free-throws
03:30Myles Bridges a three
03:32Myles Bridges a three
03:32Four-point play
03:33Well that possession LaBello hits a three and Bridges backs it up with a triple
03:39Hornets leading by 26. This is the largest lead of the game
03:53Siakamah scores on top of Kahn. That's so long
03:58And that spin move gets the shoulders by the defense and he can lay it in with that limb
04:02Hey Miggins!
04:09LaBello threw it on the backboard intentionally and it's going to be called for a foul going after the ball
04:15He kind of had to. He was stuck up in the air
04:21That's good creativity right there tried to throw it. It could get the angle on it. It's just
04:28Pushed Jackson out of the way trying to get to that ball. He sees things that most people don't
04:34Sometimes you just got to follow your instincts
04:43Hornets playing without most of the Abate who's got a bit of an ankle injury that considered to be too
04:48serious
04:48Ryan call better to provide a good finish today
04:52Grant Williams also not in uniform sitting out the second game of a back-to-back
04:57Queen blocked by Huff
04:59Clark better misses the return
05:04Shepard
05:04Shepard quick move pinch to the left hand cleared out
05:09For a straight line drive by Siakam
05:15Everything in a paces dude try to get a rhythm or some momentum the Hornets have something to combat it
05:2317 points that's high for either side Brandon Miller
05:28Quit Jackson leaves it for Huff
05:33Three-pointer for Huff
05:42Upplayed a Virginia graduate as part of national championship team. He's accomplished quite a bit
05:49But it all started in North Carolina
05:51Brown tries to save it. He hits it off of Kahn's thigh
06:02See on James runs to the scores table
06:05Gonna come into the game next whistle. Oh, he broke the curry roll. I saw him. He spin it up
06:10So the officials just got the ball back in bounds before you get there
06:15Shepard
06:18Rebounded by Brown
06:19Oh
06:19No, no
06:20Really
06:21I know
06:22I know
06:36The
06:36LaBelle
06:50Quick Jackson
06:55All right boys yes slow up here get organized have a good possession here
07:12Oh
07:13Shot clock down to green
07:15That's a good look with one of the shot clock. That's good organized using all that clock to get positive
07:21production
07:22second dunk for call better leads the team with 120
07:31He throws his head back lets out a scream and gets the call
07:34There they look like it's going to the left side talk better
07:38Rejects all of that right side wide open no help on the weak side and a good trip a pass
07:45by LaMelo
07:46Comparator the rise and throw it down
07:48Beats all rookies and dunks and it blocks
07:51Those are the two things he's being asked to do
07:54That was all set up because of his ball fakes to the left side got all the defense kind of
08:00shift over that way
08:00They quickly you go opposite
08:03While that right sides cleared out
08:05Con and bridges both sit
08:09Green and James come in
08:12Pacers make change Ethan Thompson into the game number 55 and what
08:28Jack clock's already done to five
08:33We Jackson okay, mr. Jackson
08:45Brandon crosses over Thompson gets to his spot can't guard that quick crossover you try to get back as a
08:52defender. He pulls up
08:56The battle wonderful instincts bats it over to Colt Brenner the battle of his head up
09:09Back up to see I shooting a good ball tonight
09:22Good test for see I'm trying to slow down Siakam
09:24Hey
09:25Oh
09:29Stays with Indiana

09:3820-point lead 554 remaining third quarter Hornets and Pacers take a look at our third quarter live same game
09:44parlay right now
09:45It's brought to you by fan tool you can see the odds for the Hornets to win this third quarter
09:49currently hit minus
09:51175 what did they need to do to make it happen?
09:53They just got to stay focused right now 20-point lead you're under six to go this quarter
09:59You can easily lose your focus lose your edge a little bit keep that sense of urgency
10:05in the rest of this quarter and then
10:07Maybe you can get some guys off the bench to play the fourth but right now he's last six minutes
10:12or so
10:12Really want to try to put this game out of reach
10:15for the Pacers
10:17Day off tomorrow Hornets gonna be in Minneapolis take on a very good Timberwolves team still with things on their
10:23plate
10:24What it's about good success in Minnesota recent years? Yeah
10:28And then it's gonna be off to Boston a final look to the regular season at the Celtics
10:33Want us to be back home briefly for a game against Detroit and then they'll finish off the regular season
10:38in New York at MSG
10:41Maybe dual lethal will be there. You don't know
10:45Camp Jones Kobe Brown obi top it Mike the Potter Ethan Thompson. That's top it a three-pointer
10:58Brandon Miller's got a team-high 19 points
11:02Xavier Tillman is gonna be at the post he's played quite a bit tonight
11:06It's been on the floor for 11 minutes now
11:12Brandon working against Potter
11:35Jack locked out of four
11:37Jack locked out of four
11:43Jack locked violation good discipline by Brandon Miller that time not that the shot clock
11:48Use him to get more aggressive right there. He knew topic and it was gonna have tough time taking that
11:53shot
11:54He jumped, but he did not draw any kind of contact to bail top it out
12:00That's just maturity right there learning
12:03Circumstances around the game and not
12:05Lady offensive guy take advantage of a short shot clock
12:09LaBella will sit goes to the bench of thirteen point seven assists and
12:14And that is interesting so they allowed
12:18Colby white to come into the game for LeBron or LaBella, but they didn't allow Taylor computer coming to the
12:23game
12:23So a quick foul is committed and now Peter can come into the game
12:29Did they commit that foul just let Peter come in as they did yeah, absolutely. Did he's that important?
12:33Give him a lot. Yeah, I don't know the 13th foul. I don't know we'll find out
12:47Brandon Miller
12:59We've got a bad streak until Thompson got free
13:04For the foul against
13:06Watch milling your screen right there Potter boxing out
13:10See I with his body that use that arm to hold him off as well. I see I've got to
13:15come over stop that drive
13:20Indiana team that went to the finals a year ago
13:23But really this season was up for grabs a bit of the finals were over because Tyrese Halliburth
13:28Blew up Achilles in game seven of the finals
13:32Pacers do immediately. He would not play at all this season
13:36Jack locks down to two
13:43How good is he feeling right now?
13:47Here Pete Elliott screaming butter Brandon says hey, don't worry about it. I got the print over here. We'll throw

14:14Taylor Peter left it short, but potters there to clean it up
14:20This kid Taylor Peters supposed to have a wonderful vertical jump. He's a two-time state champion tonight. I jump.
14:26Oh down in Arkansas

14:55Xavier Tillman's gonna come out
14:58Hornets are gonna play small for the final 311 of this third quarter seemingly Pat Connaughton on the floor
15:06The tallest Hornet is Brandon Miller. He's trying to work against Mike the Potter. He's got some muscle
15:12Yeah, the switch got branded behind Potter. Nothing you do about that. You just sacrifice that to this Lee
15:20Potter listed at 6 9 to 50

16:31House to be a boxer. I won't want to do it Smith

16:35Rhode Island or something like that
16:37for mom
16:40We've got a timeout on the floor
16:42The Hornets led by Pat Connaughton
16:46Up by 16 back in a moment
16:49Third quarter Hornets up by 16 they've led almost the entire ball game are discovered the best brought to you
16:56by the fresh market
16:57Let's my constant apple closely followed by the middle ball Brandon Miller and others
17:02Dell the Hornets are leading the NBA in three-pointers made and they've got a wide margin on the second
17:08-place club that has two curries on it
17:10The Warriors are fifty three points below. Yeah, just like my golf game about the fourth hole separation
17:17Begins with my fellow players or it's
17:20Separating themselves from everybody else that's shooting a three ball. They've been doing it very well all season long
17:26Stay with us the end of the third quarter for the fast break for them a truest
17:29Shannon and Walker will do their thing to Kobe white at the line
17:33Hey, just handed this note by a step man to the stars bumping over. Oh, yeah
17:37We're talking about the Hornets leading the world in three-point shooting with all the threes they've made this Indiana
17:42Pacers team
17:43One time let the NBA threes made in the 8182 season Dell. Okay in the 8182 season they led the
17:50entire NBA threes made
17:53With one hundred and three what one hundred and three made three-pointer for the team high
17:58That's an 82 game season folks
18:01Don boozy
18:02Let the league or let the team the threes that year he made 73 of the 103 the second most
18:08prolific
18:09Three-point shooter on the league leader Indiana Pacer team and anybody to was Billy Knight who poured in nine
18:16three-pointers
18:17In 82 games. Oh
18:21Wow, oh good golly. How slow was that game?
18:28Tremendous
18:30That's Kelsey occupant left hand also on that team that shooting threes George McGinnis Hall of Famer
18:35Louie or Jerry's season Johnny Davis and Herb Williams her I spoke the cigar with it before
18:43Back to the iron fist by miles rich
18:46Open topic
18:56The old fireballer had the right foot out of out
19:01You can't fault the hustle
19:04Five on the floor for the Hornets right now all the 50 50 balls going their way
19:10Del I remember years ago, and I clearly that was not the NBA levels
19:13But the thinking used to be don't dribble a loose ball grab it and then go that's just not a
19:19thing anymore. No, it's not a thing
19:23Grab it on while you're on the dribble on the moon
19:28And you got deep bits and scramble boat somebody should be open or you can start a break
19:32I
19:34Concan it both 21 minutes 13 points. He has made two out of five from behind your
19:40Canipple white bridges green and Connaughton finishing up the quarter for the Hornets
19:53Stated fouls and splashes a three second of the evening
19:59Hornets can play good defense get a rebound and still have some meat on the bone
20:05Kobe Brown especially you ever seen Kobe Brown play
20:08No doubt
20:11Late time for your Hornets shot clock is off
20:25Kobe
20:26Oh
20:29What do you do dead leg banker?
20:33to end the quarter and stop.
20:36There's a little bit of hesitation.
20:37There's a little bit of in-and-out dribble.
20:39There was some hair flying.
20:41You don't know where he's going exactly.
20:42Wow.
20:43There's the hezi.
20:44There's the hair flying.
20:45There's the body contact.
20:46There's the dead leg.
20:48There's the banker.
20:49And there's the bucket.
20:54Well, the Hornets have found that that 30-point mark,
20:58they're going to do it every single quarter tonight.
21:00They've already got 100 points.
21:02They leave Indiana by 18.
21:05A win will get the Hornets to 42 wins,
21:07and they will have ensured a winning record.
21:11With Bill Curry, Janet Spake, Walker Male.
21:15I'm Eric Collins.
21:16The Hornets have already made 23-pointers.
21:18It has become such a habitual thing.
21:20We don't even make a big deal out of it.
21:2223-pointers is a big number.
21:25It's definitely a big number.
21:27I mean, especially when teams know this is their M.O.
21:30They try to take it away.
21:31Let's see.
21:32I'm going to have his first three of the night.
21:35Teams come in here facing the horse.
21:37No, you have to guard it three ball.
21:40But time and time again, they have good ball movement,
21:43and they share it.
21:46Put pressure on the defense right there.
21:48They just create a double-team.
21:49Look at that ball movement.
21:52Still time on the shot block.
21:54Bridges has Huff in the crosshairs.
22:00Siakam, Shepard, Jones, Thompson, and Huff.
22:06Indiana really fit team with all the injuries.
22:13Huff.
22:14Huff in 11 minutes off the bench, seven points.
22:22croater! One,
22:22two, two! One,
22:25two, three! One,
22:27two, three! One,
22:28two, three! One,
22:29two! What about?
22:33Casually puts
22:34him in- Second screen by
22:36Taulkbritter after the flair scream out the niple
22:39gets LaMelo on the run. Shows you his skill
22:43set, flipping it over, huff.
22:50I see him warming up with a basketball. He's kicking it to himself when he warms up.
22:56I guarantee he was soccer back by himself.
22:59Oh, yeah.
23:03Puck better.
23:04Backed it out.
23:04Extra possession for the Hornets.
23:10Bridges straight out look.
23:13Wonderful team basketball.
23:15Scoring the ball and a foul.
23:18This could be the rare two-headed four-point play.
23:22Huff just lost his composure right there.
23:28He's missing so many shots at getting boards.
23:32Collington takes his time.
23:34And there's Bridges lining the seams up wide open.
23:38Huff throws Kalkbrenner to the floor.
23:41Kalkbrenner shooting the best free throw of his professional career.
23:45He's made 11 in a row.
23:47Make it 12.
23:48Softly through like a gentleman.
23:51It's a four-point play for the Hornets.
23:53The lead is back up to 19.
23:56Hornets have led by as many as 26.
24:02No, they didn't realize it.
24:03But yesterday against Phoenix, the Hornets won by 20 again.
24:06Yeah.
24:07The Hornets, whenever they win, they win by at least 20.
24:11It's crazy the margin of victory that the Hornets have had.
24:14This entire year, when they win, it's by a bunch.
24:19Five.
24:20This game may be shaping up to be one of those as well.
24:23Five on four for the Hornets.
24:24Siakam slowed his feet.
24:26But a steal by Jones.
24:28And Siakam.
24:29Oh, goodness.
24:30And this Sutton's cherry-ticket pays off.
24:32Never came across half-court.
24:35LaMelo wants that ball back.
24:37Unforced turnover.
24:38He had bridges right to the right of him.
24:47The medal is pushed.
24:49That'll be the second foul by Indiana here in our fourth quarter.
24:54Haven't had a lot of free throws in our game.
24:56Hornets have shot 13.
24:58Just eight free throws taken for Indiana.
25:13How quickly did he stop, change direction, get the one leg down, leave the other one in the air and
25:20splash another triple.
25:21He's got five three-pointers.
25:23Brandon's got four.
25:25Siakam's got four.
25:26Siakam's got four.
25:27Siakam's showing off now.
25:28He's got all nine pacer points in the fourth quarter.
25:40Kahn.
25:42Off the window like a gentleman.
25:45That little dead-league action.
25:47That was a tough angle too to get that banker down.
25:50Blocked away.
25:51It's better get another one.
25:56Upwinner had four blocks last night.
25:58He's headed the same direction here tonight.
26:05Oh
26:05Pop better bats it out of bounds
26:11Now comp renter has played phenomenally tonight getting the start
26:14for moose to the abate but it would be nice to move the back of the short pants on Sunday
26:19for the Hornets have to deal
26:20With Rudy Gobert Minnesota Dibberwolves yellow soreness and that ankle you don't want to force things in the back-to
26:27-back scenario
26:29No corporate it could match up with Huff
26:33So let loose to get a little rest extra rest here rely on your bench
26:42Check it with Shannon yeah talking a little bit more about Ryan cock runner yesterday at halftime
26:46Josh Longstaff told me that cock runner was a game changer in that first half last night
26:51Such a connection with Kobe white, but I did ask coach Lee about Ryan cock runner
26:55He told me his consistency has been getting better and better his instincts better and better
27:00He said physically the next step. It's not just about the weight room
27:04It's about technique as well because this is the first time in his basketball career
27:07He's faced athleticism like he does every single night, so that's the next step just technique in terms of cock
27:12runner
27:13Cock runner first man on the floor
27:16Ripped away by kid a ball help by see on James right there force that turnover
27:21What is playing with three rookies on the floor?

27:41They've allowed these young guys to flourish. Absolutely. It's up everybody's game everybody's level of expectation
27:49everybody's level of professionalism everybody's level of wanting to be coached hard
27:56Everybody's level of shooting the ball from deep
28:01Hornets have made 23 three-pointers as a team Jones misses from up close
28:10Knipple
28:12Lays it up and in
28:14And in the end it needs a timeout. They are limping right now
28:23Hornets are having their way on both ends of the floor throw con can if whoa but look back nobody's
28:29around
28:30That's a warm-up layup. We're in the fourth quarter

30:26Of the 16 back-to-back games that they play
30:29Pascal Siakam he gives no quarter. He's got 28

31:02Break that streak three ball for top-end
31:06This is a lot of
31:08Earlier in the season you said guys out
31:10Sometimes they come back better free throw shooters. I think you come back a better three-point shooter
31:22Oh
31:22Taylor Peter leaves it for top-end
31:26He knew the cockpit was lurking
31:36I was hoping for a whistle

34:54I'm trying to think of a disappointment this year. I can't
35:11Turn the ankle inside
35:17We'll see that often. I think Siakam's night is done
35:23Oh
35:23Hats off to Pascal Siakam and finishes with a hard-earned curry
35:2830 points in 34 minutes
35:32Pacers have a damn tomorrow to play on sunday in cleveland you can bet your bottom dollar that he will

35:53Josh Green
36:00Round by Jackson and Charles Lee says you know what that's not the way we're gonna play
36:05We're not gonna finish off the game this way we're gonna finish it off the way that the hornets normally
36:09do
36:09So 331 remaining in the fourth quarter it's a hornets timeout
36:14You know why I feel like skiing some damn fools
36:16It's time for all our time
36:17Our game Hornets up by 20
36:19Remember they won by 20 points last night against the phoenix suns
36:23Hornets will have a well-deserved day off tomorrow
36:26They will take on julius randall rudy gobert anthony edwards and the minnesota timberwolves in minneapolis
36:36It'll be the hornets last game good regular season up in the central time zone
36:41So the start time is seven o'clock local we'll get it started lifting the lid at 6 30 eastern
36:48time

38:45Or if he gets a breathing room if Dallas could pick themselves up and take down Orlando
38:52Orlando there a box of chocolates right now, you know what you're gonna get. Yeah, that's right early in that
38:57game
38:58And those up by seven
39:04That's school board watch it
39:06Miami is off. That's the other team that the Hornets are paying close attention to no game from Miami tonight
39:15Thinking about scenarios as we play the final week and a half of the regular season
39:20The Hornets have won the regular season matchup against Orlando
39:24So if they were tied with just Orlando the Hornets get the benefit of the doubt, right?
39:28The opposite is true with Miami the Heat won the season series against the Hornets so Cornets and Heat are
39:33tied
39:34It's advantage Miami
39:36Buzz City your Charlotte Hornets host the Detroit Pistons on Friday April 10th
39:41It will be the final regular season contest of the year at Spectrum Center

40:30Same state that produced Mike Conley
40:33He's like oh, yeah, yeah
40:35Yeah
40:48And that will be the Hornets final basket of the night if the Hornets can get a stop here the
40:53Hornets will have yet another 20-point win
40:56They have been common
40:58Hey
40:59Potter with the Misfire and Dell the Hornets are gonna do it. Yeah, the Hornets are gonna have a 20
41:05-point win for the
41:07Time this season that is a franchise record
41:1120-point wins
41:14The previous record good going almost half
41:18And we still have four more games remaining, you know
41:2314 to get nothing to do to play the right way
41:28Keep your hammer down keep your foot on the gas when you have a double-digit lead
41:32And it also tells you know double-digit lead gonna empty the bench these guys are deep little unit out
41:38on the floor right now
41:39That's a deep smart team
41:41time to see Trey go to work see on so
41:44All that has to be the ingredient to win that many games by 20 or more
41:49Well like back-to-back days here at Uptown the Hornets beat Phoenix by 20 they beat Indiana by 21
41:58That's what you do. It's called taking care of business in the month of April the Hornets are primed
42:05For their postseason experience
42:10Beat the good teams don't let the bad team surprise you
42:13That's the Hornets formula now doesn't work on the road day off tomorrow. The Hornets are gonna take on the
42:19Timberwolves on Sunday
42:20The Hornets game
42:23Shannon's fake is looking for a customary interview
42:26And she's got a whole smorgasbord of options. They're a bunch of partners who played well tonight
42:31Certainly does one two three four five six guys at double figures
42:36A ton of threes may come in three bridges had three mill of four mill of five
42:44See on that board
42:46I'm thinking it's either gonna be LaBelle or Brandon
42:50Oh Shannon playing hard to get what's it gonna be?
42:56It's not gonna be a little I'm thinking that well
43:04Left I see Brandon on the floor that guy. Yeah, okay, Brandon. Who's he talking to?
43:10Train man. Oh, I'm heart like a friend of the program
43:18It is gonna be branded we're told
43:22Brandon is
43:24Changing pleasantries now he will stride across the floor
43:30With the swagger of a NASCAR veteran he will roll past the pride of Hickory Nick Boland Austin Dillon
43:37One of the best ever come out of Hickory
43:40And now he's ready to go Brandon Miller towel around the shoulder job
43:45Well done standing by with Shannon good things come to those who weigh Brandon
43:48This was your final back-to-back of the season you guys are 11 and 5 in the second nights
43:54of back-to-back
43:55I know that takes a lot with the starting five, but that also takes a lot from the bench
43:59What about how seamlessly you guys work together the entire unit no matter who's on the floor?
44:04Oh, yeah, I think that just shows our you know our bond
44:07You know up on and off the court, you know, we had a long summer here in charlotte
44:12So it just you know, it does nothing but make us make us better and stronger
44:15LaMelo does so many things at a high level
44:17I want to ask you about his passing because it has been spot on what does he do differently than
44:23anybody else?
44:25You know, he's been a playmaker my whole entire career
44:28I think that's one of his
44:29I know strengths, you know, he's always going to be able to play make, you know
44:34He draws a lot of attention just from you know, who he is
44:36You know, so teams got to you know respect the step back threes
44:40So that just opened up all his his entire his entire game
44:43So him being a playmaker for us is what's been as what's been getting us through
44:47I know every single second you guys are on the court right now is all about preparing for the postseason
44:52When you have a game like this where you're out front the majority what can you take away?
44:56Oh, I think just the focus. I think you know, we know we have to win a game like this
45:00I think the focus and the attention to detail has to you know, be a big part in this game
45:04And I think we executed at a good level tonight
45:07Congratulations, Brandon. Thank you
45:11Shannon, thank you, Brandon. Thank you. Job well done for everyone in the Hornets organization
45:16A quick two-game home stand Dale and the Hornets sweep games away from phoenix and indiana

45:27fall where they may
