00:00Крайм 101, starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Holly Berry, streaming now on Prime.
00:10Брайвин Чунес makes the most of whatever minutes he gets in their win Wednesday over Utah.
00:15Only played 13 minutes, had 13 points and 6 boards.
00:19Great signing in the offseason for Denver.
00:22To give him a guy when Jokic is off the floor, because that's always been a problem area for Denver.
00:30And now Denver in their zone, and Bruce Brown coming up with the steal.
00:37Brown hanging, can't score.
00:39Ballin Чунес with the follow.
00:44Wow, it's great, especially with Winn-Manyama on the floor.
00:47The best way to get opportunities at the rim, to get out and transition.
00:53Harper.
00:56Defended well by Murray, out to Fox.
00:596 on the shot clock, Winn-Manyama, front iron.
01:06Nuggets trying to go on a run, with Jokic on the bench.
01:13Gordon behind the back, defended closely by Bryant.
01:16Gordon, spinning, head fake, stripped by Bryant.
01:21That's just excellent defense.
01:23Very physical by Bryant.
01:25Might have gotten away with a couple of fouls, but hey, be as physical as you can.
01:30No dip three from Harrison Barnes.
01:33I mean, what Harrison Barnes has done.
01:35This guy's played more games since the 2015-16 season than anybody in the NBA.
01:40And he's gone from being a full-time starter in all of that time and willingly come off the bench
01:46to make this work in San Antonio.
01:49If you have veterans like that, your chemistry is going to be fantastic.
01:55Whistle blows for a foul.
01:57It's going against Dylan Harper.
02:00It's going to be the second on Harper.
02:05Well, and here's the steal by Bruce Brown in the zone.
02:09Does a great job with high hands.
02:11He takes it coast to coast and misses.
02:15But Valanchunas just right there to follow, putting his head on the rim exactly where he should be.
02:23Spurs were just called for a delay of game.
02:26Harper and Fox take a seat.
02:29Vassell, castle back in for San Antonio.
02:33Brown left wide open.
02:35Can't make the San Antonio defense pay.
02:37Here comes Vassell.
02:40Well, that's designed to get that shot.
02:43They are just loading up on Jamal Murray.
02:46They're going to try to make people other than Murray and Jokic beat him.
02:52Vassell rims out.
02:54And here comes Murray.
02:55First-time All-Star this season.
02:58Having his best NBA campaign.
03:02Valanchunas backing down Wimbanyama.
03:05Showing the muscle.
03:06Swatted easily by Wimbanyama.
03:09There's a foul by Valanchunas.
03:14Yeah.
03:16I mean, Wimbanyama there, he got back down.
03:21But he's just tough to go over on.
03:25He blocked that flat-footed.
03:27And then Valanchunas, as much out of frustration as anything, just takes the foul there.
03:33Cornette back in for Wimbanyama.
03:42And Harper will check in as well as Carter Bryant takes the seat.
03:48I mean, this young core for San Antonio.
03:51Harper, Castle, Wimbanyama.
03:54I mean, they've obviously got other real good ones around them.
03:57Carter Bryant's going to be a very good player.
03:59And they've done a great job putting solid veterans around them with Fox, Harrison Barnes, and Cornette.
04:05All very unselfish guys who are letting these guys thrive.
04:11They're not getting their egos involved.
04:13And that's going to carry over to the values that they build in this organization.
04:22And this foul is going against Luke Cornette.
04:29Cassidy, talk about De'Aaron Fox and what he's meant to this team.
04:33Yeah, to your point, Stan, you know, him adjusting his game is showing up on the floor
04:38and also being recognized by the league as a finalist for Teammate of the Year.
04:41And a big reason why is his willingness to sacrifice.
04:44I mean, Mitch Johnson told us he feels Fox has been the most important piece
04:48and how all of this has come together, being willing to take a step back at times,
04:52letting Victor figure things out, let him take the wheel,
04:55and give the young guys like Harper and Castle room to grow.
04:58And Fox told us he knew exactly what he was signing up for,
05:01coming here to compete for a championship, guys.
05:04Thank you, Cass.
05:05This is Christian Brown beyond the arc.
05:07Won't go.
05:08Offensive board, Valanchunas.
05:10Got it up and in.
05:11It's a little easier to go over Cornette than it is Wimbanyama.
05:16And Cornette's a great defender.
05:20Ten-point ball game.
05:22Denver with 19 bench points.
05:24Castle through contact.
05:26Can't hit.
05:26Tipped up and off.
05:28And it's out of bounds.
05:30It will stay with San Antonio.
05:34And Jokic will return for the Nuggets.
05:40Valanchunas gave him a good few minutes there, though.
05:43Things were going south in a hurry with the small lineup with Jokic on the bench.
05:49Valanchunas steadied them, and the fans give him a nice ovation coming out.
05:54That's what you need, Michael.
05:56If you're going to be great, it was exactly what Blake Griffin said.
05:59You need a lot of guys who are a star in your role.
06:03His role is more limited than what he's been used to in his career.
06:06But those were big minutes right there.
06:10Castle.
06:12Inside.
06:13Put it up.
06:14And in.
06:16Count it.
06:17And put him on the line.
06:19That was strength on strength right there.
06:24Wow.
06:25Castle is so strong.
06:31Just.
06:33Aaron Gordon just got his hand in there a little bit on the foul.
06:38But, yeah, Castle, the last time these teams got together in March,
06:42he put up a triple-double on them.
06:45So, he has had great success.
06:48He had 30 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists in that game.
06:52And he's off to a good start today.
06:57Completes the three-point play.
06:59Nine points, two assists for Stephon Castle.
07:05Gordon pushing Castle down.
07:07Gordon can't get it to go.
07:09Stays with it and puts it in.
07:11Well, look, if they're going to let Castle use his shoulder
07:16and maybe a little arm on Gordon,
07:18turn around is fair play.
07:21A little get back from A.G.
07:23Castle can't answer.
07:25Gordon made the catch.
07:285.25 to go here in the second.
07:37Gordon outside.
07:38Brown.
07:39Yes, sir!
07:40They need that.
07:42You can see how San Antonio's playing.
07:44They're basically leaving Christian Brown and Bruce Brown when he's in the game.
07:50Leaving them open.
07:52But here's Aaron Gordon said,
07:54Hi, you're going to use strength on me.
07:56I'll use it on you.
07:57Misses the first one, but gets it right back in.
08:04Hey, Coach's Association.
08:06Coaches across the league are wearing custom autism-themed Nike shoes for Autism Acceptance
08:11Month.
08:11The game-worn shoes will be autographed and auctioned by Sotheby's May 12th through the
08:1518th with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the To The Max Foundation, founded by Utah Jazz
08:20assistant coach Scott Morrison and his wife Suzanne.
08:23Visit Sotheby's.com slash To The Max Foundation to learn more.
08:28David Adelman has his on today, I believe.
08:32I got a pair last year.
08:34I was able to finagle a pair.
08:36You were able to...
08:36I have a pair at all.
08:38You know this saying, Michael, if it's free, it's me.
08:43The Nuggets in the zone, interestingly, they play Aaron Gordon in the middle of the zone and Jokic
08:49on one of the wings.
08:50Harper beats the zone with a trifecta.
08:54Hey, listen.
08:54Harper, up until February the 1st, was shooting 25% from three.
09:02Since then, 43%.
09:08Terrific ball movement from San Antonio on that possession.
09:11Well, and that's what you have to do in the zone.
09:14You've got to get the ball moving, make the zone work, work it around.
09:19Harper shoots it without hesitation.
09:22That's the confidence sky high.
09:25Brown again!
09:27Well, it's a real positive sign here that he hits a couple.
09:31They need to get him going.
09:33And if he does, this potent offense, already the best in the league, becomes nearly unstoppable.
09:40He joins Jokic in double figures with 10.
09:43Castle couldn't get it to go.
09:45Jokic, the board.
09:46Ahead to Murray.
09:49Nuggets trailing by nine.
09:52Murray was held from behind.
09:55Buckets and the foul.
09:57And Jokic is going to go to the free throw line.
10:02They may look to see if he was in a shooting motion.
10:06You see the grab there.
10:07He's not quite in a shooting motion.
10:09They may wave off this and one.
10:11Oh, yeah.
10:12He initially counted it.
10:15And now they are going to take a look at it.
10:17And I think you're right.
10:19That was under review to see if the upward shooting motion on the shot had begun prior to the illegal
10:23contact.
10:24And I don't think Jokic would be shooting, right?
10:27How many team fouls do we have?
10:29That's only the fourth San Antonio team foul.
10:31So I think this would just be side out.
10:37So it'll go from being, and we'll get confirmation from Josh Tiffin momentarily.
10:42Oh, there's no question.
10:43It'll go from an and one opportunity to just a side out for the Nuggets.
10:47Side out, no points.
10:54They'll take a quick look at this.
10:55I think they'll, I really think they could speed these up if they just asked us, you know?
11:02I mean, we're usually right on top of it.
11:04And I've been known throughout all my years in the league as someone who cares deeply about helping the officials.
11:11I used to try as a coach all the time.
11:13And it's amazing how often they will refuse your help.
11:19I just never got it.
11:22Well, you have a great rapport with everybody.
11:24You know, Josh Tiffin and Freya Costa and Nate Green came over to say hello and reach him before the
11:29ballgame.
11:29So I can see, I see the relationship.
11:31It's amazing how much better the referees have gotten since I've been here.
11:35The motion had begun at the time of the illegal contact.
11:38The basket is good.
11:39It'll be one free throw for Jokic for the continuation playoff to make or miss.
11:43That's why they didn't come to the table, Stan.
11:45Wow.
11:47I'm with you on this one.
11:49The jersey grab.
11:50Yeah, I, that was a hard one for me to understand, but really doesn't matter what I think.
11:58Jokic still, like, I don't know what he's supposed to say.
12:03So, the foul was not on the jersey grab of Murray, but the illegal contact with Jokic, and at that
12:09point, the shooting motion
12:12was already underway for Jamal Murray.
12:18And it's a three-point play opportunity and a two-possession game.
12:22I mean, it's really unbelievable to give Denver a lot of credit, their resilience, because it really seems, even sitting
12:30here, Michael,
12:30like San Antonio has dominated this game, and it's a six-point game.
12:34Their largest lead has been 13, Keldon Johnson, no, stays with it.
12:40Jokic took another shot, this time to the throat.
12:47You've got to get the ball in bounds, guys, and get it up the floor.
12:51They called another timeout.
12:53David Adelman incensed.
12:57Wow.
13:03Well, top to the throat area, Jokic hitting the deck once again.
13:08Scary upset here, feeling like their star, Nikola Jokic, is getting beaten up without calls.
13:15That one was certainly a foul, not a flagrant.
13:17This, this is not a foul.
13:20This is after the play.
13:21He goes down, grabs his throat.
13:24He wasn't hitting the throat area.
13:26Somebody should tell him the Academy Awards already happened this year.
13:32He's going to have to wait until next year to get one of those.
13:35I love Nikola Jokic, but that was just an acting job.
13:40But now, of course, he's going to get this call.
13:42And if you're San Antonio, you have to be real smart.
13:46You see Mitch Johnson laughing a little bit.
13:49You know anything close on the next call after the reaction of the crowd and the benches that Jokic is
13:56going to get the call.
13:57So your technique has to be great.
14:00Jokic baited the officials.
14:02Didn't get the call down there, but he got in here.
14:06And the Nuggets during that timeout are working the officials during the break.
14:11This is the foul call here.
14:14And it went against Keldon Johnson.
14:16Jokic missed in the first free throw.
14:20He has 12 points, 3 boards, 3 assists in 14 minutes.
14:26The bigs not really matching up against each other now.
14:30You saw Kelvin Johnson on Jokic.
14:33Now the Nuggets play in this zone.
14:35It's now Christian Brown trying to keep Jokic off the glass.
14:41Fox couldn't get that to go.
14:42Last touch by Johnson.
14:44Another opportunity for Denver to cut into this San Antonio lead.
14:49It's the Spurs 62, the Nuggets 55.
14:52So Kelvin Johnson with the assignment here so that Wimbenyama can just roam.
14:59Now he switches on to Jokic.
15:02Here's the matchup.
15:04Jokic turns inside, blocked by Wimbenyama.
15:07Jokic got it back and scores.
15:09Jokic is unbelievable.
15:11He goes over the right shoulder, shoots at the left hand.
15:14He gets it back, just calmly up with the right hand.
15:1714 points.
15:18That was the only shot he'd missed.
15:20Castle!
15:22Double clutch put it through.
15:24How about his strength to be able to finish inside?
15:29He's in double figures with 11.
15:31Murray couldn't find the angle.
15:33Wimbenyama comes out of there with it.
15:34Quickly ahead to Castle.
15:36To Johnson with the lay.
15:41Spurs right on the floor.
15:43Extend the lead to nine.
15:48Passes third assist without a turnover.
15:51Jokic foul.
15:59And here it is.
16:00Great job on the break.
16:02Fox throwing it ahead.
16:06And then Jokic here.
16:07He has Wimbenyama.
16:09Wimbenyama stays in the play.
16:10Great block.
16:11But he gets it right back.
16:13That pass with Fox throwing it ahead.
16:15That's a little bit of the unselfishness Cassidy was talking about.
16:20He gets nothing on that play that goes on the stat sheet.
16:24Won't help him negotiate his next contract.
16:27But he throws it ahead.
16:29Stay tuned for the half.
16:31Presented by AT&T with Taylor Rooks.
16:34Blake Griffin.
16:35Dirk Nowitzki.
16:35And Udonis has them.
16:37They'll have a lot to break down after the first 24 minutes of game action in this one.
16:43Taylor Rooks, the absolute iron person of our operation here at Amazon.
16:50The rest of us all get some days off.
16:52You don't get many.
16:53But the rest of us all get some days off.
16:56Taylor Rooks never gets a day off.
16:58Day in and day out.
16:59Here's Castle.
17:00Going to work.
17:01Good defense by Johnson.
17:04Hardaway.
17:04Racing the other way.
17:06Hardaway.
17:07Can't get it to drop.
17:09Approaching two minutes to go in the second.
17:14Fox.
17:15Dangerous handle.
17:16Got it to Vassell.
17:18No.
17:20And they've cooled off a little from three.
17:23Only two for seven in this quarter.
17:26Long range three.
17:27Johnson off the mark.
17:31Denver only two for six in the quarter.
17:33After both teams shot it well in the first quarter.
17:37Johnson couldn't find a way to put it in.
17:39And a late whistle.
17:41This is going against Jokic.
17:43It'll be his second foul.
17:53Hit him in the head.
17:55With his upper arm there.
17:57Good call.
17:57By Ray Acosta.
17:59Referees having a rough day today.
18:02The tough one.
18:03When the intensity ramps up.
18:04And the games become more meaningful.
18:07This is good for the refs too.
18:09Getting ready for the playoff.
18:10Everything comes under more scrutiny.
18:13And the players emotions are high.
18:15You're going to deal with a lot more complaints.
18:18I never did.
18:20But most coaches and players.
18:23It ramps up.
18:25I always appreciated the job they were doing.
18:29I'm sure they would back that up.
18:32Of course.
18:33Kilda Johnson is the longest tenured spur.
18:37He's been there through the ups and downs.
18:40And back to the ups.
18:4368-59.
18:44You know with Keldon Johnson too.
18:46We talk a lot about the MVP race.
18:48Which obviously is of great interest.
18:50But that six man of a new race is going to be tough.
18:53Gordon with the finish off the feed from Jokic.
18:58Fourth assist from Jokic.
19:02Fox.
19:04Pull up J.
19:06Won't go.
19:0765 seconds to go in the first half.
19:12Hardaway for three.
19:13Front iron won't go.
19:15And bodies on the floor.
19:18And we'll keep it here.
19:22Victor with Benyama called for the foul.
19:25Crowd loves it.
19:26It's his third.
19:27This is the best passing big man ever.
19:31Making that delivery to Aaron Gordon.
19:34Whose career has taken off here in Denver.
19:40He gets hit from behind.
19:42He might have gotten away with throwing Keldon Johnson off though.
19:46Jokic might have to get to that position.
19:50Jokic drawing his fifth foul of the first half.
19:57When Benyama with 13 points, nine rebounds, four assists.
20:01Jokic now with 18 points, four boards, and four assists.
20:06First meeting of the regular season between these two MVP candidates.
20:12And they are not disappointed.
20:16Johnson wants three.
20:18Won't go.
20:19Wimbenyama opens the board.
20:20Wimbenyama's spinning.
20:22Stripped by Johnson.
20:23Who saves it.
20:26Nuggets off to the races.
20:27Gordon downhill.
20:29Leaves it for Jokic.
20:30Jokic takes his time.
20:32Blocked by Wimbenyama.
20:34Wimbenyama on the floor.
20:35Lost the handle.
20:36Foul is called.
20:40It's going to be three on Jokic also now.
20:45So both big guys are going to be saddled with three fouls going into halftime.
20:53Proud reacted after seeing the replay on the Jumbotron.
20:57David Adelman says we're going to challenge this.
21:00I think they'll win this.
21:01I don't think there was a foul by Jokic.
21:03Great block.
21:04But Jokic had nothing to do with this.
21:07He went down on his own.
21:09That'll just be a turnover.
21:11His acting job almost as good as Jokic's.
21:14We'll have to.
21:14Not only are they contending for MVP.
21:17These two stars are contending for the Academy Awards.
21:25Now, Wimbeny, it did look like he hit the back of his head on the floor when he tripped,
21:29as you said.
21:30It looked like on his own two feet.
21:34After securing the ball, we'll take another look at it.
21:36But as you said, at the moment, three fouls on both big men.
21:42And they didn't agree with us on the last review.
21:44So, Wimbenyama's laughing.
21:47He knows.
21:48Like, that's what I'm saying.
21:49He's laughing about, I think, the acting job he did.
21:58Tremendous action in these first two quarters.
22:00Here's another look, coach.
22:01I mean, Jokic made every move he could, and it didn't matter.
22:05I mean.
22:05Yeah, he just tripped on the plant.
22:12And Wimbenyama already with three blocks today to go with his 13 points and 11 rebounds.
22:19Have a look at the angle.
22:20Yeah, he went down right there.
22:21I don't know if he stepped on Gordon's foot, and then you see the back of his head hit the
22:25floor there.
22:27And it did look like Gordon's foot was in the vicinity.
22:33So, there's a possibility that it could be a successful challenge, and it won't go against Jokic, but on Gordon,
22:39if they feel like they, yeah, there's a look at it.
22:43Upon review, it's a foot-to-foot trip by Gordon that causes Wimbenyama to stumble.
22:48So, the play is being interchanged from a foul on Jokic to a foul on Aaron Gordon, which makes it
22:53a successful challenge.
22:54So, Denver does retain this timeout, and they will have one further challenge.
22:58It will be Wimbenyama shooting two for the penalty to resume play.
23:01And the crowd didn't like that.
23:03And Aaron Gordon is upset, but still a successful challenge.
23:09So, two important things there.
23:11They keep their challenge.
23:13They don't lose the timeout.
23:15And really, three things, and the most important, Jokic has only two fouls instead of three.
23:23Proud bowing, but that's a win.
23:26It is a win.
23:27It is a win.
23:33Wimbenyama now nine for ten at the free throw line in this first half.
23:39And look at these numbers.
23:40First three seasons, players to average at least 20 points, 10 boards, and three blocks.
23:45The dream, the admiral, and zone.
23:48Yeah, not a bad group to be affiliated with.
23:53And he gets both at the line.
23:55He's 10 for 11 at the charity stripe.
24:00Spurs by seven.
24:06Gordon, outside.
24:08Cam Johnson flicks the wrist.
24:10Can't hit.
24:11Loose ball foul is going the other way.
24:14And Jokic wants another challenge.
24:18Wow, what is going on here?
24:21This is a tough day for the referees.
24:24And this is overturned.
24:25And Jokic comes in and calls it on Keldon Johnson on the push.
24:39The crowd expressing their feelings as the three-time MVP steps to the line.
24:45Yes, they are expressing their feelings.
24:47Cam Johnson's got to make that corner three, though.
24:50Especially today, Wimbenyama's guarding Cam Johnson because they do not want to pick up another foul.
24:56And so, he ends up, as Wimbenyama comes to help, he's wide open in the corner.
25:02You've got to be able to exploit that.
25:10Cam Johnson made his first one.
25:12He's missed three in a row.
25:17Jokic, eighth in the NBA in scoring.
25:21First in rebounds.
25:23First in assists.
25:24He has 20 first-half points.
25:27And the Spurs now can hold for the final shot of the second quarter.
25:35Jokic guarding Kelvin Johnson, also Aaron Gordon on Wimbenyama.
25:44Fox on the drive.
25:47Fox rises.
25:48And got the bounce at the horn.
25:53Eight first-half points for De'Aaron Fox.
25:57And the Spurs head to the locker room up seventh.
26:02Cassidy talked about how unselfish De'Aaron Fox has been, but he can still go get you a bucket when
26:09you need one.
26:11A heavyweight showdown between two of the best in the West, two of the best in the league.
26:17Stay tuned for The Half, presented by AT&T, after these messages.
26:25Tony calls.
26:27Hey.
26:28Safe to say I'm the biggest, the largest.
26:31Been escaping us because it's my mama's dating in my parlance.
26:34Regardless, my daddy told me to keep the heat even when I'm in fours.
26:37I'm heartless.
26:46Getting ready for third-quarter action here in Denver.
26:49Great first two quarters here at Ball Arena.
26:51Moments ago, our Cassidy Hubbard caught up with Devin Vassell.
26:58Devin, you set the tone early with your three threes at a fast-paced first, but that second was a
27:03grime.
27:04What was talked about about the intensity needed to close this one out?
27:07Yeah, I mean, they're a great team with a great coach.
27:09We got to control the pace.
27:11The more we can get stops and get on transition, we're going to be doing good.
27:14And look, this has been a physical game, and with both Wemby and Jokic dealing with three fouls,
27:19how does that impact how you guys are going to focus on defense going forward?
27:23Vic just got to be smart, and we got to keep attacking Jokic, keep putting him in actions.
27:27Thanks for your time.
27:27Good luck.
27:28Thank you, Cass.
27:29Well, going in, we knew this would be a high-level matchup.
27:33Michael Grady, Stan Van Gundy here, and Coach, to this point, it has not disappointed.
27:36Not at all, and the Stars haven't disappointed.
27:39They've both been tremendous.
27:40It's time now for our rewarding performance.
27:43A look at that, presented by Capital One.
27:46Here are the Stars, matched up head-to-head.
27:49Jokic trying to play a little bully ball.
27:52Wemby and Jama with the block, but Jokic gets it back and puts it in.
27:56But then here, he couldn't get it over the top of Wemby and Jama.
28:01These two guys going at each other.
28:04Physical game.
28:06Keldon Johnson pushes Jokic into Wemby and Jama.
28:09Wemby and Jama gets Jokic in the face.
28:12Everybody upset at the referees.
28:15This feels like a playoff game.
28:17Yes.
28:18The teams, the coaches, the crowd, everybody's starting to ratchet up that intensity, getting
28:25ready for the postseason.
28:26He said it.
28:27This is quite the tune-up.
28:28Spurs second in the West, trying to chase OKC for that number one seed.
28:34Nuggets looking up at the Lakers, trying to get that three spot.
28:38Two longest active win streaks in the NBA.
28:41Spurs 11 in a row.
28:42Nuggets seven in a row.
28:44Third quarter, underway.
28:47Murray dribbling into a crowd, got it to Jokic.
28:52Jokic won't go.
28:53His first attempt outside the paint.
28:59Jokic asking for a foul call there.
29:02Thought, but still talking to Josh Tiven.
29:05And we see again to start to have Jokic on Julian Champagny.
29:12Castle, that won't go.
29:14Offensive board, Wimby couldn't put it in.
29:16Pass up ahead.
29:18Brown with a flush.
29:23Champagny did a terrific job trying to contest there.
29:26Ran into the cameraman.
29:28And here are the Spurs the other way.
29:30Five-point ball game.
29:32Castle spinning, winning.
29:36Well, the Spurs have been at, in the first half, with 74% shots taken in the first 10 seconds.
29:4433% if they got to the last 14 seconds.
29:48That was a nice quick attack there.
29:52Gordon will take the midi and hit.
29:56Gordon's limping a little bit.
29:58He's been dealing with that calf.
30:03And there's a foul.
30:05Murray seen his limping teammate.
30:11And this is in transition.
30:15Jokic always looking to outlet the ball deep.
30:22And then here he comes down.
30:23I didn't really see what happened, but he grabbed his knee after that.
30:28This is Champagny.
30:29Good from deep.
30:31Another assist for Victor Wimbanyama, his fifth of the game.
30:38Gordon appears okay now.
30:40Backing down the smaller box.
30:42Wimby over there to help.
30:44Pass to a cutting brown.
30:46Yeah, that pass would have normally been a layup.
30:49Yep, yep, that was a nevermind.
30:51Gordon over to Jokic at the elbow.
30:53High arcing J is pure.
30:57These two guys are just unbelievable.
31:02Champagny on the drive this time.
31:05Blocked by Jokic.
31:06He's a rim protector too.
31:09Johnson outside.
31:11Gordon for three.
31:12Cash!
31:23Defense to offense for the Nuggets.
31:26Three-point ball game here in Mile High.
31:29NBA on prime.
31:30Presented by Mercedes-Benz.
31:33Well, the Nuggets have had Jokic on Champagny.
31:37Decides to try to attack him on the dribble.
31:39Great block.
31:40And then defense into offense.
31:44Aaron Gordon with his first three of the day.
31:50Top teams in the West.
31:54OKC.
31:55They've been turning it up.
31:56They've won 21 of the last 24.
31:59The Spurs have won 27 of 29, including 11 in a row.
32:02The Lakers.
32:03You just saw them the other night.
32:05Luka injury concerning.
32:07But they had been playing good basketball ahead of that matchup with OKC the other night.
32:12And the Nuggets, winners of their last seven.
32:18Wimby tried to skip pass and Champagny tried to toe the sideline and make the catch.
32:24Couldn't do so.
32:26Nuggets ball.
32:27This is the closest this game has been since it was 38-36.
32:31It's only the sixth San Antonio turnover.
32:34Only four for Denver.
32:40Yoke it's staring down Wimby Nyama on the move in the lane.
32:46Puts it up and in.
32:48Well, Wimby Nyama, great defender over the top.
32:52But Yoke it's just getting very deep on those post-ups.
32:55He's able to back him in deep consistently.
33:007-0 run for Denver.
33:04Fox going to close out by Brown.
33:06Fox on the drive.
33:08Out to Bassell.
33:09Wimby Nyama penetrating.
33:11Step through.
33:12Wimby with the lane.
33:15Nuggets bench wanted to travel.
33:26This is Brown.
33:28Corner three.
33:29Won't drop.
33:30Rebound secured by Fox.
33:32They're literally giving in that corner three.
33:36Fox no.
33:37Slapped out of there by Gordon.
33:39It's Bassell with it.
33:41Champagny.
33:42Boom.
33:44Champagny's been huge for this team.
33:46Replaced Harrison Barnes in the starting lineup.
33:49He's just a great shooter.
33:52Doesn't make any mistakes.
33:54And knows who he is.
33:56Doesn't try to do a lot of things he can't do.
33:58Nuggets got to within one.
34:00Five straight for the Spurs.
34:03Bassell the board.
34:04They'll try to add to their six-point advantage.
34:08Bassell.
34:10Out to Wimby Nyama.
34:13Wimby Nyama fading away.
34:15Well off the mark.
34:16Gordon the board.
34:18Jokic to Johnson for three.
34:21Yes, sir.
34:23That's great transition basketball by Denver.
34:27Jokic just got the ball and passed it.
34:30No dribble.
34:31His fifth assist of the night.
34:33Wimby Nyama with the answer.
34:39Back and forth we go.
34:41A 20-piece for Victor Wimby Nyama.
34:44To go with 11 boards and five assists.
34:51It's the best game I've seen in a long time, Michael.
34:55Jokic now.
34:57Shadowed by Wimby Nyama.
34:59Tossed out.
35:00Johnson is lonely beyond the arc.
35:02Can't get it to go.
35:03And the rebound on the floor.
35:06Secured by Murray.
35:08Jokic to Brown for three.
35:11Bottoms.
35:13And it's literally just shooting practice for Christian Brown.
35:17No one is guarding him in the corners.
35:20He's able to come through with that one.
35:23He's now three for eight on the day, which that'll play.
35:29One possession game.
35:31Castle to Wimby Nyama.
35:32And they're going to wave off the basket.
35:35Fouled on the floor by Christian Brown.
35:39Here's Wimby Nyama.
35:41Great screen there.
35:43Gets him wide open.
35:45And then going to the basket.
35:48Should have been a travel.
35:49But, okay, it wasn't.
35:50So, we'll count it.
35:51And then Jokic here, just getting too deep, takes his time up over the top.
35:5924 for Jokic, 20 for Wimby Nyama.
36:06Wimby Nyama, five assists.
36:08Jokic, six assists.
36:12Castle.
36:13Through contact.
36:14Castle.
36:16Wow.
36:16Buckets.
36:17And the foul.
36:19Wow.
36:21This guy is just so strong.
36:30What a finish there.
36:33This guy's come so far, even since last year when he had a great rookie year.
36:39But just so much better decision maker.
36:43He's only had one turnover today to go with four assists and 15 points.
36:47Playing at a high level.
36:49They bring Harper into the game.
36:52I mean, they...
36:53This roster is loaded.
36:57There's really no holes in this roster.
36:59Plenty of playmaking.
37:01Plenty of shooting now as these guys have improved.
37:04Obviously, great size.
37:08They play both ends of the floor.
37:11Murray can't get it to drop.
37:15Harper with the handle.
37:18Over to Castle.
37:20Hits the accelerator and lays it in.
37:22Wow.
37:26Just a burst of speed from Stephon Castle, who has 18.
37:33And is guarding Jamal Murray.
37:35And Murray only has 10 points on the day and has not been to the free throw line.
37:39Last time these two teams played, he was 15 for 15 at the free throw line.
37:45Brown.
37:47Won't go that time.
37:48Vassell got up for the board.
37:50Harper running the floor with the handle.
37:53Over to Vassell.
37:54Vassell flicks the wrist.
37:55Left it short.
37:59Hardaway.
38:00Outside to Murray.
38:02And good close out there by Johnson.
38:05Murray got by him.
38:06Outside to Jokic for three.
38:08No.
38:14Under five to go in the third quarter.
38:16Spurs 90.
38:18Nuggets 82.
38:25Cornette.
38:26Hand off to Vassell.
38:28Vassell.
38:29Outside.
38:30Good look for Johnson.
38:32Won't go.
38:33Tap over to Vassell.
38:34Vassell missed the leg.
38:37Jokic ahead.
38:38Stolen by Harper.
38:39Whistle blows.
38:40And a foul is called.
38:43Nate Green all over it.
38:44And it's going against Stephon Kassel.
38:51Third foul on Kassel, who picked up two quick fouls in the first quarter.
39:00Yeah, foul on Kassel.
39:03Jokic wanted a transition take foul.
39:06But clearly, Kassel was trying to strip him of the ball.
39:09Good call by Nate Green.
39:11Nate Green, by the way, was our Summer League point guard back in the day.
39:16Nate Green was a very good player at Indiana State.
39:20Played in the NBA Summer League for a couple of years.
39:23And a very good player.
39:27Johnson picks up his dribble in the lane.
39:29Finds Jokic.
39:30Left it short.
39:30Cornette clears it for San Antonio.
39:34Spurs trying to go back up by double figures.
39:41Harper working around traffic.
39:44Outside Johnson will try again.
39:46And it won't drop once again.
39:48Johnson pushing it ahead for Denver.
39:51Hardaway to Murray.
39:53Three-ball, noon.
40:02Denver five for 17 from three since that first quarter.
40:07They've had great looks.
40:09I mean, those are wide-open looks.
40:13Foul is called on Bruce Brown.
40:17Yeah, that's going to be his second.
40:24Fourth team foul on the Nuggets.
40:28Goal, boys.
40:30No.
40:30Aye.
40:31Aye.
40:31No, Liverpool.
40:32No.
40:32Just been coming.
40:33No.
40:34No.
