00:17visit from the King LeBron James and the Lakers are in town to take on the kid Cooper Flagg and
00:24the Mavs on NBC's folks think about Flagg's game and his future stags are for the crew
00:31chief put it up in the air what's the carry lane
00:37LaRavia will draw the defense on flag right where he left off on Friday night
00:43against Orlando Hachimura secured it for LA canard on the acceleration towards the basket to the corner
00:52for Rui Hachimura it's the first three of the night yeah that's the pass Luke canard to the corner for
00:58Rui
00:58knocking down the open three you see a bunch of zone here for the Lakers one would have
01:04that crispy out of the corner 40% three-point shooter do you think the other
01:10guys are thinking I've got to look for my shot or knowing those two guys dreams and
01:15Dodgers are out and flag hits his second field goal and his gaffer 27 years old third game after
01:22he missed a couple of an injury that's the part of Cooper Flagg's game in the 51-point performance
01:27Friday LeBron's got Christie got to take matters into his own hands he's done that it's on the two
01:35he just took it took a ride to the basket quickly back the other way with the
01:42acceleration by Najee Marshall
01:45he sees another opening goes to the basket and has scored two field goals in a row
01:50that is part of the problem with those injuries guys who had to fall in their
01:55hands a lot for this Laker team so brought nice pass to canard one more Hachimura
02:01this turnaround's good Hachimura it was a foul that should have been called on a
02:06Cooper Flagg driver was not Cooper complaining got a tee Jason Kidd got a tee as James knocks
02:12it down from the outside LeBron quickly we know the ten that are out many of those guys are packed
02:20as Marshall this they are ready to let's in it it's like they can see the bigger picture even
02:26going through these typical circumstances
02:32three-pointer goes to Jared Vanderbilt eighth-year man out of Kentucky right
02:37calf injury wasn't sure if we're gonna see him need everybody who can go right now
02:41for the Lakers flag again what a quarter Cooper flag with a dozen of the Dallas 21 and
02:51the Lakers bench we got you mellow Tracy let me come out here and take some shots
02:58that was off the rim and in for three for Bagley the injuries aside they got
03:05cleaned out for the thunder they did and but they've been playing so well and it's
03:10given the Laker fans believe as Marshall gets to the mid-range and knocks it down
03:15flag switching direct
03:17uh-oh great line for the basket and one
03:21no disrespect to he or his old Duke roommate Conn Kinnifel who's been Austin Charlotte it's a
03:27tough call this year Hachimura staying hot first Laker in double digits he has 10
03:33oh keep shooting over 50 percent
03:37little open gym feel for this opening quarter yes and if you're an open gym I always want to
03:41player like Cooper flag on my team oh yeah my goodness
03:50speaking of cruising it's going at it again got it again 19 point first quarter for Cooper
03:58IBSP as well he is falling he scored the last seven Bronny James is in and going to the basket

04:13Kinnar Dirk look competitive spirit of Cooper flag a true baller with the will to win and after the
04:19game in the postgame press conference guys he said scoring 51 it's gonna mean something next year you watch
04:25the father's son minutes here with Bronny and LeBron on the four together
04:29LeBron missed the pass to his son for Lakhinis over James for the finish for the bulldog final seconds here
04:39shot clock is off
04:40LeBron leaves it Jackson Hayes finishes at the basket still time final five Najee Marshall has it
04:49trying to find Klay Thompson four three
04:56Frenchy Miller and Noah Eagle have game two of our doubleheader it's the return of Steph Curry to the lineup
05:02LeBron turning the ball over too much here in this first half
05:05wild finish goes
05:07with all the money you have the right texture to it you can tell he plays some point guard growing
05:11up as well
05:11Colby Bufkin everybody gets the minutes right now he missed play does not
05:16Thompson at the three Ashley Shomity with you at American Airlines Center downtown Dallas the Mavs
05:24trying to avoid going 30 games under 500 on the season but nobody's look so sorry for you
05:30but yeah still gonna go
05:32people still compete to win
05:34Florida shoot flag stepping back to three
05:40Nate's partly you don't have time to take a minute for yourself as are you serious play on the back
05:46cut to the basket
05:48Good pass by Williams good cut by clay, but JJ and I were in a situation with the Clippers
05:52we lost our two best players in a five-minute span in the playoffs with Blake Griffin and Chris Paul
05:58against Portland
05:58they had to try to figure it out remember that too yes the Dallas team shooting nearly 60% in
06:05this first half
06:07Hayes inside
06:09Hayes has some fast feet right there, but didn't get called for it got the basket to go
06:17and three knocked down by Chris Middleton
06:21it's moved but off the mark Luke canard the rebound canard is the starting line tonight for the lakers
06:29jump
06:32his break teeth gonna be when I miss to keep fire
06:40that was a great shot this is when flag was still in the amateur circuit
06:44at the basket to throw down he's got 14
06:49and he's still got those hops too
06:52even as he catches up with the next gen
06:57it's right on the tube I wasn't dunking like that either so he could wear his own shirt
07:00Christy lost it
07:01the other way here goes LeBron again
07:06he's got space here for three if he wants it
07:08he makes it
07:10James eight of nine from the field he has scored or assisted on the last 17 starts tonight
07:17south bay lakers
07:20LeBron on the floor for the moment where we have tomorrow
07:23it's that one and it's a nine-point deficit
07:33good stuff for the finish
07:37he has to get some coach of the year consideration right but what he's doing down here in Detroit
07:41no doubt
07:43canard inside a lefty
07:46for two
07:51flat
07:52right field goal he has 26 points
07:56denied inside
07:58off his hand he keeps it
07:59takes it
08:00takes it
08:02he said he doesn't like twos he likes threes
08:05minimal 500 attempts
08:08take it away
08:10Hachimura
08:11James Brennan in the middle
08:14for the lakers
08:22canard is on triple double watch now he's got nine points a career-high 11 rebounds
08:28and seven assists in the game so far and that's why i think the mid-range is so important he's
08:33not
08:33shooting his races outside as christy's knocks down the outside shot with that mid-range shot from three
08:39113 of 232 larabia kept that left foot down found eight
08:45rolled it in to the andre with the basket finally you've got to know i can still shoot from out
08:51here
08:51let's trust my work you know just call me and say forget it
08:54let's hope for canard leaves it
08:59down to a two-point game washington tries three
09:08lead is five
09:12lebron is 24 flag is 28
09:15two stars showing up here on sunday night basketball
09:19eight inside
09:21couple of field goals now for deandre in this third quarter and i talked to deandre before the game
09:26actually played with him in phoenix my last year and he said i got lebron and my
09:31being a point guard out there good shot
09:34the bank is closed with america he knows he'll need to be a big part of what's going on
09:40going on at the rim
09:44i'd be engaged with that right why not
09:47and it bounces to nazi marshall
09:50mention eight and former number one overall pick
09:54among those guys who look to for more
09:57as this laker team needs more options
09:59washington knocks down another outside shot
10:03second three for him he has eight
10:10eight having a quarter here
10:12and that's what the lakers are going to need different guys to carry them certain quarters
10:16and right now they're figuring out how they're going to have to play goal four
10:24we've returned to the relaxed defense portion we returned and i can check in the game
10:29huh
10:33lebron a lot
10:37with an effort by larabia lebron tried
10:40instead on the other end it's a dunk
10:43the basket credited uh marvis bagley it's a 6-0 map run
10:47we accept the lead to 10 and eight finishes at the rim one more time
10:52one thing that's been on full display is we know luke canard to be an unbelievable
10:56knockdown shooter but he's a playmaker as well and it's been on full display today and that was
11:01assist number 10 so he's got a triple double and flag comes to the basket and scores
11:07that's what you came in for we passed dinner at the table they just said you're three times six
11:11man of the year because you can fill it up like few in the history of the league when you
11:15came off the
11:15bench step back to maravia banks three five and a half to go here's the matchup flag on lebron now
11:22the
11:22switch flag goes gets and one given 34 points just will give people pause who went from flag is the
11:32favorite to knipple as the face jackson hayes off the window gets it back to a single and he's still
11:38finding ways to get it done play thompson in the game flag to the bench corner three now down
11:44back full of heaters

11:5540 from deep for the season before that one
12:00the two going to take for middleton
12:04lebron's back on the bench he and ronnie played 39 seconds together in this third quarter
12:10the cut jandermilk the finish and james has assist number eight all the night and you see the
12:16adjustment the lakers made from the beginning lebron was running point when they first came in
12:21now lebron's really only bring the ball up if he gets it in transition now he's going below
12:2515 feet near where he can dominate his clay
12:32hard cut lebron was cut off by middleton somehow and then one with hayes inside
