00:08the final four games of the
00:10season two at home two on the
00:12road.
00:12Warriors never leave the state
00:14of California.
00:15I love the 30 jerseys that are
00:17here but I love the fact that
00:1930 in his jersey is going to be
00:21on the floor as the Warriors
00:22take on the Kings tonight.
00:25Hello everybody Bob Fitzgerald
00:26alongside Kalena Azubuki and
00:28let's start with that the last
00:29week of the season but Steph is
00:31back.
00:31Steph is back.
00:32I'm getting excited.
00:33Listen everybody has their eyes
00:35set on that play in tournament
00:36but you have four steps to get
00:38there and that's how you look at
00:39everybody you said everybody's
00:40so happy to have step back that
00:41last game the building was
00:43shaking right the energy was off
00:45the charts and everybody's
00:47adjusting to having him back in
00:49the fray but it's an adjustment
00:51you want to make because he makes
00:52the game so much easier.
00:53So get what you want out of this
00:54game sharpen up sharpen up.
00:56Well we've talked about that
00:57play in tournament for a long
00:58time it is coming into focus a
01:00little bit.
01:02Phoenix will be seven Clippers
01:03Portland going to be eight or
01:04nine that'll be the Warriors
01:06opponent.
01:06There is one path though if the
01:08Warriors went out and the
01:10Clippers lose out they would
01:11actually host the 9 10 game.
01:13They're just looking to handle
01:14your business.
01:15You'd love to win out.
01:16But I talked about it
01:17preparation right.
01:17It's all about preparation.
01:19These last four games you want
01:20to see Steph jail with poor
01:22Zingas right.
01:23You want to see Draymond in
01:24their small lineup big lineup
01:26figure the lineups out because
01:28remember Steph still got to
01:29ramp up.
01:29Right.
01:30So is he coming off the bench.
01:31How long does that happen or
01:33as we'll figure all that out
01:34here.
01:34Yeah.
01:34Like Kalana said he reminded us
01:36on Sunday how special Steph
01:38Curry can be the greatest
01:40shooter of all time.
01:42Our BMW ultimate performer.
01:44That's a minute's restriction.
01:45Only 26 minutes.
01:47How about 29 points bringing the
01:48words from 15 down and having the
01:51building levitate.
01:52He showed me something really
01:54important because it's like OK.
01:56Do you want to miss one more
01:57game and come back against this
02:00Kings terrible defense or do you
02:02want to come back against the
02:03Houston Rockets and that amazing
02:06defense and a men times is like
02:07no I want to get bounced around
02:09and bring me a men Thompson
02:11whoever I'm going to put on a
02:12show kind of got off to a rookie
02:15start a little bit.
02:16He was a little sped up.
02:17He said it but then he saw some
02:19fall and he snapped right back
02:21into Steph Curry mode.
02:22So happy to have him back.
02:24And we get to see him play with
02:25Seth.
02:26You know on the box score it's
02:27S.E.
02:27And then S.T.
02:29St. Curry.
02:30Nice.
02:31I know that happened right.
02:32I mean it's amazing to see them
02:33play together.
02:34I know Mama Curry was there.
02:36Sonya was there.
02:36Took a lot of great pictures.
02:38It's a beautiful moment for that
02:40family.
02:40They'll look back on it fondly
02:42later.
02:42Well I tell you one thing this
02:44will be our final broadcast at
02:45home this year.
02:47Dub Nation has brought it each and
02:49every game.
02:49The home games have been fun
02:51because of you the crowd has
02:53been incredible.
02:54Steph is back.
02:55Yeah he's playing with his
02:56brother.
02:56Bring on the Kings in the final
02:58four.
02:58The final week of the season.
03:00We'll have the starting lineups
03:01and tip it off from Chase
03:02Center.
03:03Coming up next.
03:07Two games in Chase and then
03:09Sacramento and L.A. to wrap up
03:11the regular season.
03:13The Warriors know they're in the
03:149-10 game.
03:15They don't know their opponent.
03:17And depending on what the
03:18Clippers do they don't know if
03:20they're going on the road for
03:21sure.
03:22It's a long shot but sometimes
03:23long shots come in.
03:25Steph Curry has come into the
03:27building and is ready to build
03:29on that incintillating performance
03:31on Sunday.
03:32And I got to say Kay since we know
03:34both of them Steph and Seth
03:36playing together.
03:37I get a kick out of that.
03:38That was heartwarming wasn't it.
03:39Steph's lacing him up.
03:41He's ready.
03:42Steph being back.
03:43The vibe is different.
03:45The energy in the building is
03:46different.
03:47He lifts the spirits of everybody
03:49that watches him play.
03:51That joy is just contagious and
03:53palpable.
03:54And the Warriors are so happy to
03:56have him back.
03:56He makes everything better.
03:57But tonight again preparation
03:59against this young team.
04:01They're letting their young guys
04:02rock.
04:03Execution.
04:03That includes the spacing.
04:05Get on the same page with
04:06Steph Curry.
04:07He makes everything better.
04:08And then close out shorter to most
04:10of them.
04:10They're 30th when it comes to
04:11three point shooting percentage.
04:13So Devin Carter with Neek
04:14Clifford.
04:15Daquan plowed in.
04:16Precious Achua.
04:17Maxime Renault.
04:19From Sacramento.
04:20They have seven road wins.
04:22They have been dissent by
04:23injuries.
04:24Except for Renault since the
04:25All-Star break.
04:26Missing the shot there.
04:28Hey!
04:29And Draymond blocking Renault
04:31at point-flank range.
04:32Malefie Leone's rotated over
04:34the first time and Draymond had
04:35the second time.
04:36Pajemski is spilled.
04:38Pajemski and Melton.
04:39Pat Spencer.
04:40Malefie Leone's.
04:41And Draymond.
04:42They're bringing Steph off the
04:43bench for the second
04:44consecutive game.
04:45Yeah, usually he's going to
04:46play the last six minutes of
04:48each quarter.
04:49But Draymond Crean, he's been
04:52unbelievable defensively.
04:53And he was finally able to get
04:54a block.
04:55Coach Kerr was actually talking
04:56about him and his defensive
04:58prowess saying, well, a lot of
05:00the numbers, the analytics, they
05:01don't really properly quantify
05:03what he's able to do when it
05:05comes to rim protection because he
05:06breaks up plays before people get
05:08to the rim as Pajemski makes the
05:10first free throw.
05:10And I'll buttress his point by
05:11saying, how many times have we
05:12seen Draymond guarding pick and
05:13roll and they try to make a pass
05:15to the roller and he stabs at the
05:18driver and then jumps backwards
05:20and breaks up the pass so they
05:21never even get a chance to shoot
05:24at the rim.
05:24I mean, let's just be honest here.
05:26You watch a lot of games that you've
05:28played in this league.
05:29I've been calling games for three
05:30decades.
05:31If you give me the ten best
05:32defensive players in the NBA
05:34today, you're not having a list for
05:36Draymond Green's not on it.
05:37Absolutely.
05:38I mean, yes, there's analytics and
05:39stats.
05:40Just watch a guy guard one through
05:41five and he's done it at the level
05:43he has.
05:44At that time, the Jets have got a
05:46hand out of him with no good hands.
05:47Flips it in and draws the foul.
05:49So I said, the Kings are letting
05:51their young guys rock.
05:53Maxine Renaud is definitely one
05:54who's at since All-Star break.
05:5617 a game and shooting almost 60
05:59percent from the field.
06:01And it's a lot of this pick and
06:02rolls, but he can score at pretty
06:04much all three levels.
06:05The pod's got a piece of that one,
06:06but he has quick reaction time.
06:09So he got to the ball.
06:10He flipped it up quick.
06:11He's got great touch inside.
06:14Even eventually maybe later on his
06:15career could be a prolific three
06:16point shooter, but he's got great
06:18post game, great back to the
06:20basket game.
06:20Average, he's the only player in
06:22college basketball.
06:23The average 20, 10, four year
06:25Stanford player, that last season
06:28of his his senior year.
06:30On that pass, we've got to stay
06:32away from them.
06:33So that's been, the Warriors did a
06:34great job not turning it over
06:36against Houston.
06:37I was about to say that.
06:37And it's going to be against
06:38Houston as they make no miss one.
06:42So you don't have Porzingis
06:44tonight.
06:44You're not going to have Richard
06:45tonight or Guy Santos.
06:47The Warriors, you have to get
06:49healthy for this play-in.
06:51You do have a back-to-back
06:52Lakers-Kings coming up.
06:55So we're keeping an eye.
06:56Especially Guy has a pelvic
06:58injury trying to work through.
07:01Malafi, we talked about that
07:02right hand passing out to
07:04Pajewski missing for the baseline.
07:06I talked to Malafi, he was
07:07before this game.
07:08He was like, it's still much
07:09better.
07:10It sounds like we had a great
07:11time when you shoot
07:11street those left-handed.
07:13We went crazy when you made
07:14ways like it.
07:14I was happy to make one.
07:16Demi Carter kicking it out.
07:19I think literally he's taking it out.
07:21Renaud, you see the moves there.
07:23I told you that.
07:24I mean, Renaud was quoted.
07:25He said, I do think I'm the best big
07:26in the rookie class.
07:27He stood on.
07:28He's taken 42nd in the draft.
07:31It's hard to argue.
07:32Yeah.
07:33Pat Spencer from deep.
07:36Okay.
07:36Lee Clifford got out there but
07:38he wasn't phased by it.
07:39That's the thing.
07:40Everybody's got to stay there.
07:41I'm obviously with Steph
07:42out of the game.
07:43But even when Steph returns
07:45and Pat Spencer kind of just
07:46stopped at no man's land as
07:48two guys hesitating.
07:49We're about to go with the
07:50roller there.
07:53Rodney with Ben and the
07:54Warriors came.
07:56He went in to Pachewa
07:57flipping it up and out.
07:58That's a pretty good defense.
07:59And you see Malafi Leones.
08:01He's like Guy Santos was a
08:03couple years ago.
08:03Like every loose ball.
08:05Energizer Bunny.
08:06Great defender.
08:08He's got a nose for the ball.
08:10That fade away.
08:11So Spencer's going to have a
08:12career best in everything this
08:14year.
08:14Games played and points and
08:16shooting and the whole bin.
08:17Couldn't be happier for him.
08:18And he saw him.
08:19Precious and Shua.
08:20He's like, I see food.
08:21I gotta eat.
08:22What happened?
08:24I didn't go through Renaud
08:25with this addition to Kings.
08:28Carter down the lane.
08:29Game on challenge and
08:30Carter floats at home.
08:32And then Carter was the
08:3313th pick in 2024.
08:35Remember last time we played
08:36this team, I compared him to
08:37Derek White.
08:38Yeah.
08:38Even Projevsky like a
08:39secondary ball handler.
08:41Combo guard.
08:42Another one whose dad
08:43played in the league.
08:47Rock at seven.
08:51Rock at four for Projevsky.
08:54Little contact.
08:55And they didn't get any love.
08:58Lots have been doing that
08:59though.
08:59Career best free throw shooting
09:01and definitely getting to the
09:02line a lot more in the last
09:03month and a half.
09:05Carter does draw the foul here.
09:07That's the two defenders
09:08staying with King there.
09:13You got Doug Christie.
09:14I said he's letting the young
09:16guys continue to play.
09:17I think they might be third
09:18in the league when it comes to
09:20average minutes by rookies.
09:23Well, given this draft, the
09:25Kings are going to get a
09:26cornerstone in this draft.
09:28Because they're going to pick
09:28in the top four.
09:33This is a free throw there.
09:35Demi Lovato's it's not that
09:36deep to her live at Chase
09:37on Monday, May 11th.
09:39All the tickets available at
09:41ChaseCenter.com as Charles
09:42Bassey checks in.
09:44I like him.
09:44So he's a Nigerian descent.
09:46Just like me.
09:47He's actually born in Lagos.
09:48And you saw him the other
09:49night when he had some good
09:51rolls to the basket.
09:52He's got some good hands.
09:53Could run the floor really
09:54well.
09:54Pretty good rim protection.
09:55He's got seven three
09:57wingspan.
09:57So that definitely helped.
09:58He's like, I was so surprised
10:00I was that wide open playing
10:01with Steph Curry.
10:02You saw him kind of hesitate
10:03there when he rolled the
10:04basket.
10:04His defense stayed with Steph.
10:05He had a nice little
10:06shovel pass to Draymond in the
10:07fourth quarter.
10:08Yeah.
10:10We talked about Draymond
10:11playing with the two-seven.
10:13Majemski out of the corner.
10:15Pod's hitting the three.
10:16He's got a little flare
10:17screen there kind of.
10:18And Clifford realized
10:19that late the pass was low
10:21and he was unfazed by that.
10:23Majemski only warrior to
10:24play in every game.
10:26I think that's a point of
10:27five for Brandon.
10:32Jua got the moves there.
10:33Draymond with the rebound.
10:34And even that last little
10:35bump from Draymond Green.
10:36First of all, he moved his
10:37feet so he's still there.
10:38That last little bump made
10:39it much tougher for
10:40Itchewa.
10:41Massey back to Pat Spencer
10:43and then blocked out of
10:45bounds.
10:45It'll still be warrior ball.
10:46If you're watching that
10:47last game, it's the first
10:49time we've gotten to talk
10:50about that Rockets game.
10:52It was such an amazing
10:52game.
10:53But that last play, the last
10:54clicker, right?
10:55Steph comes off and Draymond
10:57was wanting to pull
10:57Pajemski over to get
10:59Steph to go against
11:00Shengun.
11:02Pajemski didn't like the
11:03space on that, but that's
11:04a click you had.
11:05That's a preparation
11:05clip, right?
11:06You can watch it.
11:07You can talk it out if
11:07Pajemski misses a three.
11:09GC to the rebound.
11:10So if they're ever in
11:11that position again,
11:11you get Steph Curry
11:13knocking down a three.
11:14The one thing about that
11:16though, the Rockets new
11:17Steph is going to shoot
11:18the ball.
11:19For sure.
11:19And they're going to have
11:20three guys on him.
11:21That's what I'm saying.
11:21But you get to talk it out,
11:23right?
11:24You watch the film and you
11:25figure out what you want
11:25to do in that situation.
11:27Absolutely.
11:27So when it happens again
11:27in the playing tournament,
11:28you're better prepared.
11:30Woo!
11:32Look it out.
11:34That three rainbowed in.
11:37Daquan Ploudon, the Warriors
11:39did like him.
11:40He's super bouncy.
11:41Known for how athletic he is.
11:43Five years of pulling green.
11:45He's undrafted.
11:46And he doesn't shoot it flat.
11:47He keeps on high.
11:49He gets that three ball up there.
11:50He gets the two-to-one.
11:51That's his thing.
11:51The rim is twice the diameter
11:52of the ball.
11:54Off of Bajemski's hands.
11:56Levin Carter's got a freebie.
11:57He'll dunk it down.
11:59We're just trying to make sure
12:01you take care of it.
12:02We talked about the spacing.
12:04All those things like
12:05the Warriors have shown
12:06they can take care of the ball.
12:08You got to keep doing it.
12:09Uh-oh.
12:09Steve going to use a timeout.
12:11624 remaining in the first.
12:14Wait when he looks down the bench.
12:15There's a guy who wears 30
12:16that's come down when I say curry
12:18because the Kaiser Permanente
12:20teamwork in action.
12:21Steph and Seth got to play together
12:23as teammates for the first time ever.
12:26They played against each other
12:27obviously in the NBA.
12:28Steph said it reminded me of
12:29Charlotte Christian my senior year
12:31and his sophomore year.
12:33I'm happy for Adonald Foyle.
12:3531 jersey is making shots.
12:38Come on, dude.
12:39There's no reason for that.
12:40Uncalled for.
12:41Our Chipotle real difference makers.
12:43In terms of brothers,
12:44this is the scoring list.
12:45Yeah.
12:46And I tell you the Gasol brothers
12:48before Steph and Seth are done.
12:51That's big.
12:51I don't know if they get to
12:52Neek and Gerald Wilkins.
12:53Yeah.
12:54Gerald Wilkins was solid as well.
12:57I remember him guarding
12:59Michael Jordan.
13:00Trying to be the Jordan stopper.
13:01Jordan wasn't having it.
13:02But this is special.
13:03Can you imagine strategizing
13:05with your brother before an NBA game
13:07and you know you're about to
13:08take the court together.
13:09I just know spacing wise you got
13:12two of the best three-point shooters
13:13ever.
13:14Great shooters.
13:15And Seth was like,
13:15I'm just trying to make his job easier.
13:17Seth dropped it out for Bassey.
13:19He lays it up and in.
13:20Seth Curry can play basketball by the way.
13:23You saw how much the Kings respected him.
13:26Two defenders went with him
13:27and he made the right pass.
13:28He's not just a shooter.
13:29He can be a playmaker.
13:33I was just working on Steph up top.
13:36He's making Renaud the roller.
13:38Time off!
13:39Go!
13:41Go!
13:42Go!
13:45Go!
13:48Go!
13:48Go!
13:49Go!
13:51Musik,
13:54The 3...
13:54I was gonna say,
13:55I love that Seth and
13:56Steph came in the game
13:57and the Kings are probably going
13:58to run his play for Steph.
14:00But a play for Seth to playیں.
14:02Now this is a guy who can beat you
14:03by himself sometimes
14:04Malik Monk.
14:05He's one of those
14:06Mike- MILLEIGH SCORERS
14:07like can really go nuts.
14:09Lyle.
14:11Threw는équ W Вид
14:12by Clippers
14:17You know how good that defense could be
14:22So step on the left side and set on the right side
14:27Ricochet rebound
14:33She was gonna get extra active
14:39Spencer's defender with other guy. I'd like his mentality just trying to stay aggressive at this
14:43That's one of the things that Steph said after that last game against the Rockies
14:47Like the last thing I wanted to happen was everybody just start looking for me and trying to force it
14:51to me
14:51And you're just watching no he wants everybody to stay aggressive and decisive because you got it
14:57You're still not gonna have Moses movie. You're still not gonna have Jimmy
15:00So get the ball inside G Santos and pods are more confident players speaking to Jimmy who loves soccer
15:09The FIFA World Cup lights up to the US Mexico and Canada
15:14Experience every goal every celebration exclusively in Espanol on Telemundo
15:21We obviously a big Neymar fan and of course definitely knows a lot about soccer when you're talking to him
15:27about that sport messy
15:28I see ya
15:30Just going with the soccer calls
15:32football
15:34That's that was your sport growing up and London then we tried to hold our pressure
15:37Yeah, we try to hold our breath as long as we could say in gold
15:41That's better missing the fadeaway. All right GP to a pad of taking two shots get a chart. I want
15:46to hurry to choose
15:47Let's get it after that
15:49How the curry play either either
15:59I'm going to see the all-star break
16:00He has scored at just an elite level as a roller. He's so versatile. He can short roll and hit
16:05that push out there
16:0610 points in the paint already
16:09Losing it out of bounds, but still warrior ball. I'm gonna see D'Anthony Melton have a good game
16:13This is Maxime Renault. Just put him in the role a little handoff here
16:18He's working with Malik Monk gets turned around but two defenders including Bassey stays with Malik Monk as he's so
16:24dynamic and
16:26You get Renault a little push shot
16:28McDermott checking in
16:30Cardwell
16:32Oh, Cardwell denied Bassey
16:34And Cardwell is bouncy there
16:36And then
16:37The lob over throw
16:39Bassey thought he was fouled on that play, but the Warriors still come out okay
16:43Well two defenders went with Steph there
16:46That's he couldn't get another opportunity
16:48And Cardwell's got that closing speed. He's pretty athletic for a big
16:55Gary set the screen did the Zaza between the legs and then followed that in and he just rolled it
17:00And he did the Zaza between the legs and just went straight to the basket and no one's boxing out
17:04He was so focused on Steph
17:05Dermott can hit threes and bunches, but missing there
17:09And Dermott lost the handoff
17:13Sacramento the one-point lead
17:16The thing
17:16Everybody expects that step stop to go in he's like
17:19I'm gonna run the back to just the kids I tell you that Spencer that little lean back
17:24I
17:25Mean it could even be a good rap song if you thought about it. Yeah, yeah, they did do that
17:37You want to play as a shooter
17:4129% you wanted shooting outside not getting inside I said one of the keys close out short two guys
17:47He's got a lot of speed step got double team air with TV to save them
17:50to beautiful
17:53It worked out just like there was no deflection
17:55The two defenders stayed with step two guys are out of the play the other guy has to rotate over
17:59and
18:00McDermott was that guy and throw it up high
18:03And throw it up high
18:04Deflection
18:06That's spent to the steal
18:08This step on the lead spot
18:11Melton's denied by McDermott
18:14Somehow found step on the other side bottom the three
18:17That's a good find right there
18:20That works step is running back
18:22The
18:24Dubnation voice their approval
18:27Rubbing that knee
18:28It's the new normal he's figured out how to manage it gives
18:31His friend a little smile there
18:33Just chuck it out there
18:3530's got to be out there somewhere almost from that hash no problem
18:39And brought to you by mercury insurance
18:42Got kalena up in a small plane to get that footage of the top of chase center got it back
18:47To join me on the broadcast with the warriors leading by four barely in time now
18:52We were chatting about charles bassey when he was down at santa cruz
18:55He was averaging 20 and 11 in 20 games, but then the boston celtic signed him
19:00Because if you're in the g-league
19:02Any team can get you did a couple 10 days warriors waited for that to expire and then re-signed
19:08him
19:09But you know when he was with san antonio and philly
19:12This is a bouncy big
19:14He was only 25 that I think is different than any of the other warrior bigs
19:19He's had some experience
19:20He's actually got real good vision when he's rolling his basket too
19:23You can have him in pick and roll
19:25He's knocking down that mid-range jumper
19:27He's really worked on that
19:28There's a guy that's bounced around don't leave for a little bit here
19:31But he wants to stick here with the Kings that killian Hayes is always been able to defend and run
19:37a team
19:38He was a seventh pick in 2020, but shooting sub 30% that's been the knock on him is the
19:44jumper
19:44That Spencer was tonight
19:46Oh, it's so he can really protect him
19:48Leek Mott
19:49Nice finish
19:51Hardwell's coming here and had a big impact
19:53It's tough to score against him inside
19:57Raymond back in
19:58Got to get a little creative inside now
20:00A little more crafty jump into his body
20:02Throw some pump stakes in there
20:07Get used to step in back
20:10Raymond on open three
20:11Rattle that out
20:14It's an adjustment, but it's a great adjustment
20:16It's an adjustment you want to have to make
20:18He makes anything easier once they get in rhythm
20:20Yeah, for Draymond GP too, it's like breathing
20:22For Malafy Leones, he's like
20:24Is that Steph Curry on there?
20:25No, he did
20:25We get used to that space
20:27It's a monk
20:28I said he could score in bunches
20:31So he comes right off the bench and hits his first couple
20:33He sees Malafy Leones on who's 6'10
20:35Who can move
20:36He's got lateral quickness
20:37But he's able to score that one
20:39Get separation
20:39Malafy
20:40Don't jump in the air
20:41You jump in the air in the NBA
20:42It's a turnover
20:43This is why I keep your dribble alive there
20:45Working with Steph
20:46Saw two guys there
20:47But they're going to rotate over
20:48Because they're guarding it a certain way
20:50That's their scouting report
20:51They're keeping two a step
20:52So Malik Mott
20:53Missed that three
20:55He owns the roller again
20:58Knocked that bounce
20:59Waters will take that
21:00It looked like he got fouled
21:02El Cardwell came in hot
21:04And he was barely able to
21:06Stay in bounds long enough to throw it away
21:09And Kings have been called for one foul
21:11In the whole first quarter
21:12That's pretty good if you're the road team
21:14They're getting super active here
21:16He's keeping it close
21:18Trying to play spoiler
21:20Steph and Seth both in
21:23Draymond at point-blank range
21:25Remember I said they only had one foul
21:26And Cardwell won't get the other one
21:29Draymond just kind of snuck behind him there
21:32And
21:33Warrior out-of-bounds plays have been fun this year
21:35Well there's just a lot of reads too
21:37And a lot of times you have all the action happening on one side
21:40Draymond realized Cardwell is asleep
21:42So you can just sneak behind him
21:44A couple free throws coming your way
21:46Courtesy of Waymo
22:04When's the last time you're in a Waymo?
22:07A few weeks ago we enjoyed it my wife and I
22:09Took my kids to the house of primary for dinner
22:12Okay, and we took away Mo back and forth
22:14Yeah, it was very cool
22:16We went to STK and all that they've been better
22:18Yeah
22:19Enjoy it. You can set the rib and central school institutions
22:22You can set the move in there such a music
22:26Three now finally owns with the rebound
22:29Miss Joe Betts. He was a long time warrior season
22:31Check it over
22:35Family still running it though is Steph missed that three
22:38I think we're gonna go to Miller and Lux tonight here
22:41Oh my God
22:42That should be fun
22:42Just sleeping on hundreds?
22:45No
22:46About a five second game shot with cock difference
22:49Get more Kentucky NIL money looking around
22:51We just like, you know, frequenting some of the restaurants around here
22:55Killian Hayes
22:56In and out and on fire
22:58Four seconds to work with
22:59Steph to Seth
23:01Hit back into a three
23:03And out front iron and that'll do it for the first
23:07So the Dubs hit four threes
23:09Sacramento shoots 50% though
23:12Maxine Reneau
23:13We were talking about his game
23:14He's got seven
23:15Pat Spencer has seven
23:17To lead the Warriors
23:19And it's a one point game after the first 12 minutes
23:27Chop item of the game
23:29And the new Dubs hat from 47 Brands save 30%
23:33On the snow wash corduroy hat
23:35There it is
23:36At shop.warriors.com
23:37We're bringing corduroy back
23:40IOTG 30
23:40We're bringing 30 back
23:42Of course
23:43That's the main thing
23:44Well, I just like Pat Spencer's mentality
23:47The way he's come out here
23:48And I've said the Warriors are trying to sharpen up
23:51He's going look
23:52I'm trying to sharpen up
23:53Every part of my game
23:54And he's been sharp
23:55Getting to the mid range
23:56The pull up game
23:57He's been a threat out there
23:59The Anthony Melton with GP2
24:01Pat Spencer
24:02Pajemski
24:03And Charles Bassi
24:05Shot clock at 9
24:07Not working on McDermott
24:09From the elbow
24:09And rim that out
24:11And he Clifford with the rebound
24:14Clifford and Cardwell
24:17Killian Hayes
24:18McDermott and Malik Monk
24:21See how well you know your sky report
24:24Know who you wanna let shoot threes
24:25Close out short desert guys
24:27Gonna see these same two teams on Friday
24:29Up in Sacramento
24:32Go for the runner
24:33Go for the runner
24:33Rimming it out
24:33And Bassi will inhale rebounds
24:35That's what he does
24:36He said the 20 games in Santa Cruz
24:38Average of 20 points on 11 boards
24:39He's got a really high motive
24:42To do it
24:42No mouth back
24:43Come back
24:43Back at the GP2
24:45To go
24:49The Kings
24:50Moving nicely defensively
24:51Shot clock to five
24:55D'Anthony getting in the lane and flipping in, we're on the foul.
24:59I said I wanted to see D'Anthony melt and see some go in.
25:03Attacking the paint is a great way to do it.
25:05Get on the board there.
25:06The 25th opponent points in the paint, come off of that screen.
25:09You get the switch.
25:11Malik Monk is in front of you.
25:12Go to work.
25:13Don't mess around with it.
25:14That thumb had taken away some of D'Anthony's offensive confidence.
25:18It has to.
25:19So to see those points, he didn't take a lot of shots against Houston, only two of four.
25:24But he's averaging 12 a game.
25:25And in a playoff or play in, you're going to need to be a double-digit scorer.
25:29It's just hard to think the way you normally do.
25:31I heard my brothers, the Warriors are in zone now.
25:33And Doug McDermott is your zone buster.
25:35Yeah, don't leave him in the corner.
25:38You got to make sure Warriors are in that 1-3-1 so he's kind of found the weak spot.
25:42McDermott's a 40% three-point shooter, but doing it for a dozen years.
25:46He's your one guy on a team that's 30th when it comes to 3.
25:48What a good three-point shooting team, yes.
25:51Understatement of the broadcast.
25:53Now see Cohen's own number.
25:55Carvon moves nicely.
25:56I like him.
25:57Shot clock at three.
25:59Wojemski sidestep three.
26:01Good patience, and it pays off.
26:03He knew exactly how much time he had.
26:05And Hayes was running at him.
26:07That's an awkward closeout.
26:08Left his feet.
26:09A little sidestep.
26:11Made it look easier than it is.
26:12You always hear Steve Kerr talk about spacing.
26:14Wojemski was spaced out nicely there.
26:16And GP2, great play.
26:18He's sold out for that.
26:19I believe Muckles is going to get it dunked.
26:21Cut back door, and GP2 is ready for that pass.
26:26If you can't keep your body in between him and the basket, you better bring that effort like GP2 did.
26:30No one deflected out of bounds.
26:32And that's the spacing we're talking about, too, right?
26:34Three guys kind of all in the same area.
26:37You're trying to operate in there.
26:39But this is a sidestep.
26:41Look at that closeout.
26:41And Pat Spencer did a great job.
26:42He knew how much time Pojemski was going to have, too.
26:45So you break the paint.
26:46You get the reaction from Hayes.
26:47Now he's got to get back out.
26:49Pods knew what to do with it.
26:51Got clock at five.
26:52Oh, look at Fousey.
26:55God, that hole.
26:57He's got big hands.
26:59Amazing hands.
27:00They only have one hand on that ball.
27:03It's amazing.
27:04The first one in line is Pat Spencer.
27:06Pick Malik Bunk's pocket.
27:08Melton running.
27:08Melton attacking.
27:10Melton finishing.
27:11This is great for DeAnthony Melton right now.
27:13And GP2 had McDermott hemmed up for just enough time to get Melton some momentum going to the rim.
27:20Massie moved his feet.
27:21Clifford couldn't get by him.
27:23Three A's.
27:25Finding Clifford.
27:26Good find in the corner.
27:28And they're driving home that three.
27:30You see Cardwell on the weak side there.
27:31The pin in screen.
27:33That defender couldn't close out like he wanted to.
27:36Melton's right.
27:37This is a team that does not make threes at a high rate.
27:39The Warriors give it away.
27:41And here's Sacramento four of eight.
27:43And they don't defend very well.
27:44But you kind of got to throw their defensive numbers out.
27:47Because it's just a bunch of young players in there.
27:49Haven't played much together.
27:50But you get the little float game going.
27:53And then look at you see how GP2 had McDermott hemmed up there for just enough time to get DeAnthony
28:00Melton going.
28:00Now Cardwell, he has the highest rookie block total and the highest rookie rebound total.
28:07So, I mean, I like him.
28:09Oh, yeah.
28:12Carter banked that home.
28:13Now it's kind of a four-time screen from Cardwell that time just to give Carter some space in there.
28:18Get around one guy.
28:19Then he's got the other guy covered.
28:22Kind of had him in jail inside.
28:26How many of those had a play?
28:27Yeah, a five-year college player in the SEC at Auburn.
28:32Valify Leone's again that right hand kind of shooting at the last resort there.
28:37That pass over Cardwell.
28:39That would have been a dunk.
28:41Leone's told me it definitely feels better.
28:43So, I'll be able to shoot with it at times tonight.
28:45So, you saw him go to that right hand there on that tough little push shot.
28:50Valify's going to defend.
28:51He's going to rebound.
28:52He's going to do a lot of good things.
28:53And he's clearly going to play if at all possible as Bassey gets inside.
28:56He's got to beat his shot.
28:57Charles Bassey's eight, along with Pajewski's eight, leading the Warriors.
29:00Yeah, he's worked on his game, man.
29:02And there's a reason why he's averaging 20 and 11, 20 games, like you said, in the G League.
29:07He's got that touch inside.
29:08And again, being able to short roll, you expect someone else to rotate over.
29:13Carter wanted to get a bump, did not, and it's out of bounds to the Warriors.
29:16The Warriors can just keep going, picking rolls.
29:19And have that be their go-to play.
29:21Obviously, we know about the Warriors' split action.
29:24And obviously, Porzingis is not playing in this game.
29:26But you saw some of the creativity it can have when it comes to the bigs working on the perimeter.
29:32They can set a pin down.
29:33The pods rolls around him and sets a screen.
29:35You can curl the basket on there.
29:37There's all kinds of things you can do.
29:38The other day, good news that Al Warford is playing three-on-three.
29:42Hopefully, get Al back.
29:43He's trying to get to the play.
29:45He's just trying to get as healthy as he can right now.
29:47He's not about the missing one.
29:48But he got fouled.
29:49Well fouled.
29:50It's the right idea.
29:51Get to the rim.
29:53As soon as you see your guy gets clipped just a little bit, and you have a lane, and there's
29:58no big there to really deal with here at the rim.
30:02They're occupied elsewhere, so you can get all the way to the rim.
30:04Now, we've said this the last month or so, but when you have a Horford, Porzingis, Quinton Post, now Bassey,
30:12and then Draymond can just play free safety, I like that.
30:16That's a new role or a fun role for Draymond.
30:19He hasn't had since he had Bogut behind him.
30:21You got some size there.
30:23You can deal with the Clippers or the Blazers, whoever ends up at that nine spot that you have to
30:28deal with.
30:29Well, the teams have some size.
30:31It's the Blazers.
30:32You know about Clingon, and you know about the way they beat the Warriors three out of four times.
30:37They play so fast, they get down building, Jim.
30:40I did so much.
30:42One of two for Melton on the other end.
30:46Where is Dougie McBuckett?
30:48That's who he does threes.
30:49And the Dermott hitting another three.
30:51But the Blazers took the Nuggets to the brink.
30:54They did last night.
30:54Did you watch it?
30:55That was a great game.
30:56It was a good game.
30:56Those are 1.30s, no teams.
30:59Oh, my God.
31:00Oh, my God.
31:01Oh, my God.
31:02I'm on fire on the baseline.
31:04Set it up.
31:05Melton, everything is coming along for D'Anthony right now.
31:08There we go.
31:09So he's got that tape on that thumb.
31:11And we've seen it before.
31:12The tape looks a little different.
31:13Maybe he's a little more comfortable with it, but it's basically a baseline drive, baseline grip.
31:17Simple play.
31:18Yeah, he's got an eye.
31:19He's got to feel good.
31:21But this is that three.
31:22Basie with the rebound.
31:23Basie that time was a drop coverage.
31:25I believe that was what they worked on.
31:27That was the coverage they wanted to go with.
31:30So now D'Anthony Melton is like, hey, I am officially on.
31:34Give me the ball.
31:34I got 12 in the corner.
31:36Yeah, his ball faking now.
31:38Let it fly.
31:39What the?
31:40What shooting issue?
31:42Warrior lead at 7, and the Kings take time.
31:45Basketball and NBC Sports Bay Area is brought to you by the Bay Area BFW Centers.
31:52Anthony Melton, his last double-figure scoring game was against Brooklyn, but he's got 12 in the quarter, 4 of
31:595.
31:59And Kalina Azubuki said, hey, let's get Melton some buckets and get him feeling good offensively.
32:05I didn't know you could speak things into existence like that.
32:07I try.
32:07I try.
32:08After tonight and then the Laker game, we will be streaming the Warriors on the go with the NBC Sports
32:14app, brought to you by Toyota as the Warriors finish the season at SAC and at the Clippers.
32:19For D'Anthony Melton, any hand issue is the worst.
32:23I remember I'm in the G League and I messed up my pinky finger.
32:26You know, you can see it how it is right now.
32:29This one is still pretty big.
32:31Every time I caught the flag, my whole hand was stinging.
32:34As I couldn't think about anything else.
32:35So D'Anthony Melton, I feel for him, man.
32:38But credit to him that he's still been out there trying to play.
32:41He's like, if at all possible, I want to run.
32:43I'm going to be there for my teammates.
32:44And it's just great to see him have some success here.
32:47Defensively and toughness-wise and pairing with Steph, he is ideal in a lot of ways.
32:52And we see what he's like when he's amazing.
32:54He's got his legs back on and he's smiling.
32:56Okay, Plowden knocking down another three.
32:58It's three of three on threes.
33:00The team that is 30th in the NBA in three-point shooting is six of 11.
33:05Well, he's 33% for three players.
33:07Three of three, maybe he can't make it anymore.
33:09Okay.
33:10I'm just throwing stuff out there.
33:12Mathematically, it'd be likely to start to miss.
33:14I'm with you.
33:15The Jemsky out of the corner.
33:16I'll fire him there.
33:17And Renaud with the rebound.
33:19We got Steph back in here in the last six minutes.
33:22See if you can have some more momentum going into halftime.
33:25See, Draymond there, they trick harder than you get a layup.
33:27It doesn't get any stats for that.
33:29Then he just contested Plowden for his first miss.
33:32That's what I'm saying.
33:32If you're wondering if Draymond Green is an all-defensive player, watch that last sequence.
33:37His GP2 pays it up.
33:39Draymond won't get any stats for the two things he did.
33:41But he stopped the layup, contested a three, and the Warriors got a layup because of it.
33:45He sees play before play, and he's cool, not getting stats for it at times, too.
33:51No notices at coaches and opponents and teammates.
33:55Need Clifford missing that three.
33:57Rebound battle for Jemsky.
33:58Draymond on the box, out on the chew-up.
34:00Warriors are okay if the Kings want to keep firing.
34:02Just be there in the vicinity if you can.
34:06Steph, everybody jumps at him.
34:08Tic-tac-toe, GP2 to finish it off.
34:10Draymond's a great candidate to roll after he sets a screen on Steph, too.
34:14I mean, you just make the play, and you expect, again, the rotation to happen.
34:19Renault got over there.
34:20GP2's going to react to that.
34:26Clifford wants the roller and a chew-up.
34:28The rotation for Jemsky is.
34:30Knocked it out of bounds.
34:32That's the defense moving on a straight.
34:34Yep.
34:34We saw it happen on the other side.
34:36Two defenders stay with the ball that time for Jemsky's alert, too.
34:38Okay, how hard is this?
34:40Carter, I've got a layup.
34:41Draymond says no.
34:42Yeah, I'm going to stop that.
34:43I found an open three-point shooter.
34:45Wait, who's out there?
34:46Draymond again.
34:47From under the basket, he had to rotate.
34:49I mean, you get Renault knocking down another one of these little jump hooks there.
34:53But Draymond, that's what I'm saying.
34:55There's no stat there.
34:55He just changed someone's mind.
34:57There's no way to quantify that.
34:58And then he gets out and contests and gets no stat for that.
35:01He didn't get a stat for this.
35:02As he missed that three.
35:04I wanted it to go in.
35:05That's that.
35:06Warrior lead at six.
35:13Under the back, well, good cut by Clifford.
35:17Well, that's the best time to cut.
35:18Just to bail your teammate out, you get a deflection there.
35:21I was laughing.
35:22Draymond had me crying laughing.
35:24Have you seen Anthony Davis' foul play movie?
35:26Or a foul play show?
35:28I've seen all the promos.
35:28It's basically like, it's basically like.
35:30It's a prank show, right?
35:31It's like Axton Kutcher's punk back in the day.
35:33Draymond, they got him so bad.
35:36And then Anthony Davis at the end and LeBron James at the end came in there.
35:39They were all crying and laughing.
35:41It was, it was so good.
35:42But yeah, they got Draymond pretty good.
35:46GP2 held on that role.
35:48Yeah, he was a good man.
35:49Good sport on that one.
35:50That's a pretty good show.
35:51It's interesting.
35:52You ever see the punked episode where the Axton Kutcher got Justin Timberlake?
35:57Of course.
35:57Oh, my God.
35:57Did you see, did you see the one where they got Allen Iverson?
36:01No.
36:01Yeah, it was outside of club.
36:02They made it to seem like Allen Iverson couldn't get in.
36:05And then, yeah, at the end, yeah, it was, because they always had, I think it was Shaq.
36:08I think maybe Shaq was in on it with Ashley, because they always have an NBA player,
36:13one of the friends of whoever they're punking to be on, be in on the joke.
36:16Well, we should tell some people that you're going to see Brandon Pogeski do something a little interesting
36:21in this broadcast that Kalina Zabuki was completely responsible for.
36:26Yes, we had a little friendly competition.
36:28Yeah, that's our little tease for later in the broadcast.
36:31He paid off.
36:32Did we ever say what I was going to have to do?
36:34Well, so just a back story.
36:36You will see the payoff, but Brandon went to Santa Clara, Kalina went to Kentucky.
36:41They played each other in the NCAA tournament.
36:43I told him that I was hoping that they were going to win, that Santa Clara was going to win,
36:46because I would have had to wear a Pogeski wig.
36:49Pogeski wig with the headband and a Santa Clara jersey.
36:53And his jersey.
36:53And I had my hand on the Amazon Prime trigger to buy this stack.
36:58Curry hits a three and drops the foul.
37:01So an opportunity for a four-point play.
37:06Unbelievable.
37:08Just working without the ball, sometimes because they know he's always going to get two defenders on.
37:13But let him work without the ball.
37:15Now the Warriors are in the bonus here.
37:16But working without the ball, you get a little screen from GP2.
37:20And Carter sees like, oh, no, that's going to get an open shot.
37:23And you did a little too much.
37:25Count them out.
37:26One, two, three, four.
37:28You know what that's about.
37:30Staff with a four-point play.
37:33So Seth has hit a three.
37:35Steph has hit a three.
37:37And this is the Warriors' biggest lead.
37:44So that was a two?
37:47The count of it was the 40.
37:50The Cliford.
37:51I'm going to sort that out at the next stoppage.
37:56Roger down the lane, lobbing it up.
37:58Unable to be gotten in by a two.
38:00And Greymon cleans it up.
38:07Yeah, that was a three steps.
38:08Two for four.
38:12Pajewski dropping in at three.
38:15So Pajewski's got 11.
38:17Melton's got 12.
38:18And a lot of guys are getting healthy and building some confidence right now.
38:21Out to you by Wendy's.
38:23Baconate late.
38:24Hit him, Wendy's for a Baconator made fresh for you.
38:26Open till midnight or later.
38:29Don't you hate when TV guys tease something and it never happens?
38:33We're going to pay it off.
38:35There it is.
38:35Our Ford plays of the day pregame.
38:38There it is.
38:39The Ozabuki, Kentucky jersey.
38:42It looks so good on it.
38:43For bragging rights of the loss of the NCAA tournament.
38:46There I am.
38:47And, of course, you've got a video in for posterity.
38:49Of course.
38:50I've got to make sure.
38:51Listen, it was the best pregame workout he's ever had.
38:54He looked so much more bouncy and spry.
38:56Shots were just going in.
38:58He automatically was in that flow state as soon as he put the jersey on.
39:01And now look at him.
39:02He's playing extremely well.
39:04He's got 11 points already.
39:05I was like, don't be surprised if you play well.
39:07It just kind of happens when you put that on.
39:08He put the Ozabuki jersey on.
39:10He's taking the most shots on the team.
39:12It's like you and Kentucky.
39:14It's that effect.
39:14You get aggressive, man.
39:15You get active out there.
39:17Double team in the steel now for Seth, who's out there with his brother.
39:20Oh, no one-handed passes.
39:22That becomes the Warriors' fifth turnover.
39:25And the chew-up was he finally traveled.
39:28Hey, give Pat Spencer credit for running back there and just making it tough on it.
39:33He had to make a move, maybe a move he didn't think he was going to have to make.
39:36Doug Christie's like, no, this can't be.
39:38Warriors have 13 points off the eight Kings turnovers.
39:42That was a tornado move with no dribbling.
39:45And so I think Mitchell Orban was like, I'm going to call travel this.
39:48Sometimes those tornadoes can be problems.
39:51But Steph's going to bring it up now.
39:53Stay aggressive if you're the Warriors.
39:54Again, you're in the bonus the rest of the way.
39:59Doug Christie is going to get a tee here.
40:03So let's finish the NCAA tournament.
40:05Congrats to Michigan for their transfer title.
40:09Man.
40:09NIL built.
40:10Seriously, right?
40:11Four starters that weren't there.
40:14So Steph will shoot the technical.
40:16But these are the alma maters and the results in the Warrior family.
40:19Dream on Green is not going to be happy about Michigan winning.
40:23There it is at the bottom, Podemski.
40:24That first round game and then the Azubuki jersey that he had to wear.
40:28Listen, we got the only win that mattered.
40:31We lost the next game.
40:32But hey, listen, we got the W.
40:34So Curry hits the technical free throw.
40:37Kits.
40:38And you cycle that shot clock to 14.
40:40Look at Steph.
40:41He's hitting his head.
40:42By the way, he's going to auction off basically all the shoes he's worn.
40:46He's got 70-plus shoes.
40:47And it's going to benefit his foundation, the Eat, Learn, Play Foundation,
40:50all the wonderful work he's done with that foundation.
40:52And a lot of those are kind of one and done.
40:54That's what I'm saying.
40:55It's genius, man.
40:57Eat, Learn, Play.
40:58He and Ayesha do a great job with that.
41:01Steph, tough shot out of the corner.
41:03And a three.
41:04Found it again.
41:05Another 4.5 opportunity.
41:09The Game Breaker.
41:10This should have counted for five.
41:12Come on.
41:13The degree of difficulty here is insane.
41:16The Game Breaker is back.
41:19Ploward is just chasing him all over the place.
41:22He's looking.
41:22He's got a back door.
41:24He's getting held.
41:25Does not matter.
41:27He just plays through all of this with so much grace.
41:30And I was talking about this.
41:31That last game against Houston, he's going to be like,
41:34you know what, I'm going to sit out one more game.
41:36Houston's defense is really good.
41:37The Kings defense is not so great.
41:39I'm going to sit out one more game.
41:41And then Thompson has touched the play against these.
41:42He's like, no.
41:43I want to go against that.
41:44I want to get bounced around.
41:46It was a tough test.
41:47He passed it with flying colors.
41:48He's got the crotch hitting his name here again.
41:51He's lifted everybody's spirits.
41:53So Melvin went for 12.
41:55Steph's gone for 12.
41:56And a little Curry flurry.
41:58And the Warriors opening things up to 16 points.
42:02Delia Hayes, I'll tell you what.
42:03Good for him working on that shot.
42:06Yeah, he's had to work on every part of the game.
42:0825% from there for three-point racing.
42:10He's still given that.
42:14Yeah, when you're going to be in the, you know, top five pick,
42:17and you're looking for a place in the league,
42:20did not work out in Detroit.
42:23Killian Hayes fouling Pat Spencer.
42:25That's so smart for Pat Spencer because he's sitting out there just waiting.
42:28The Warriors are running their floppy action where you get the baseline screens.
42:31It was basically Steph Curry and Seth Curry running the baseline trying to get open.
42:35And the Kings actually covered it well, but there was some space in the middle.
42:38So Pat's like, you know what, let me just take my clock.
42:40So educate the floppy actions because they flop sides of the court.
42:45Basically, right?
42:46Yeah.
42:46You basically give the shooters a choice which way they want to go.
42:49You can run the baseline, come off those little pin-down screens there.
42:53And the defenders, give them credit, they did a good job.
42:56Fight over the top.
42:56Find a way to get around it.
42:58A lot of times you're going to lock and trail and stay onto the body of those shooters.
43:01So the ball handler, it's their job to make sure they don't turn the ball over.
43:04And if they don't find anything they like, be aggressive.
43:07You be the attacker.
43:08Pat Spencer misses the first free throw there.
43:10Warriors 8 of 11 from the line.
43:12The Kings are 2 of 5.
43:14And I'm sure Pat Spencer knew they were in the bonus even though it was on the shot.
43:18Pat Spencer dropping in the second free throw.
43:21He's got a good balance scoring for the Doves.
43:24This is a good preparation game so far.
43:26That's what the week is about.
43:28You know, the process, Steve Kirsten, not necessarily the results of the four games,
43:32but there's the process.
43:34Bob misses there and Basie.
43:36But I'll tell you, if Dallas were to lose or to beat the Clippers tonight.
43:40True.
43:40And then the Clippers have OKC at Portland and the Warriors.
43:44It's a tough finish for them.
43:45Yeah, that's not.
43:48And the Clippers know that.
43:49They're going to try to take care of Dallas, but Cooper Flagg's at 50 and 45.
43:53Seth Curry off that guy.
43:56And Basie, he knocked over multiple Kings.
43:59And Steph, if they would have left that guy, Steph made the three ball of the crowd.
44:03And it sounded there a little bit.
44:05Yeah, I mean, Cooper Flagg is on his rookie of the year campaign.
44:09He's trying to finish strong.
44:10Things were kind of leaning towards Con Caniple there.
44:12And then you said it 50 and 45 back-to-back.
44:16So he's like, yo, I got something to say.
44:18They might just have to go co-MVP.
44:20No, no, no, no.
44:21They might.
44:22No, no, no.
44:23No, you know, people put the votes in.
44:25Pick a rookie of the year.
44:27I mean, if it ends up.
44:28Resurrection of Charlotte, if you want to do that.
44:30If it ends up tied, what are you going to do?
44:34Colleen Hayes with me now.
44:35Colleen Hayes doing some scoring.
44:38Got nine.
44:44Step in, out, around Renault.
44:46Flipping it up and in.
44:47Come on.
44:48With the left hand.
44:50Curry's got 14.
44:52It's still dangerous here to step alone if you're a big.
44:56Maxey's Roto found out that the hard way.
45:00Lane Hayes cycling it out to Achulich.
45:02I clock at nine.
45:04Final 51 seconds of the half, but a foul off the ball.
45:08I think the kids, think about the bigs for the future there.
45:14You talk about Renault and then Cardwell, those two guys growing together.
45:18Well, so what's better and better?
45:20Seth is saying is, you should challenge this because McDermott was just locking up Seth's arm.
45:26He was.
45:26I mean, and you know, they would win this challenge, by the way.
45:29He basically pulled Seth's arm to hit his face with it.
45:33Yeah, they would win this challenge.
45:38Well, they're not letting the Warriors challenge.
45:42They're saying it's too late, but they would have won this because McDermott, all he did was hold on to
45:46Curry's arm.
45:47And Seth did what you're supposed to do.
45:49Remember I talked about locking and trailing the cheaters?
45:51He stayed on his body.
45:52He had his hand out there.
45:53And Coach Kerr actually talked about that when it comes to trying to play defensively.
45:58You allow the offensive player to do this.
46:01As soon as they see your hand out, they hook it like that.
46:04And then there's nothing Seth Curry can do.
46:06Watch McDermott right there.
46:07He just pulled his hand to hit his own face.
46:11Yeah, he's holding on to his arm.
46:14That'd be interesting if you were two free throws every time you did that.
46:17Just find a defender and lock his arm, and that's a foul, apparently, on somebody.
46:22That's why it's so hard to play defense in this league.
46:25The offensive player is smart and savvy.
46:28Staff did three.
46:31Bassi playing volleyball on the glass.
46:33Kick out to Pat Spencer on the ricochet, and bottoms the three.
46:37Kind of trows Bassi with all that extra effort.
46:40Might as well give him an assist there.
46:45About a six-second game shot clock difference, winding down the half.
46:51Chua holding up top.
46:53We'll take a run at Bassi here.
46:57I think behind McDermott.
47:00Let's just see Chua with a baby hook.
47:02Nice move.
47:03Seven seconds to work with.
47:05Shot clock off.
47:06Two men jump and step again.
47:08We see a lot of this.
47:09Finds Pat Spencer.
47:12And that couldn't get the shot off.
47:14The half will expire.
47:16All in all, a pretty good half.
47:17Only five turnovers in that half.
47:19He'll take that.
47:20Well, he won the second quarter by 14.
47:22Because Steph played a lot of the second quarter, basically.
47:24But D'Anthony Melton really got going offensively, and that was nice to see.
47:29Oh, yeah.
47:31Is that Melton with 12 points on four of five shooting?
47:34And he is going to put the headset on.
47:37And D'Anthony, we're so pleased offensively that you were rolling.
47:41We know you're playing with that thumb bothering you.
47:44But confidence-wise, it had to feel good to see if you go down.
47:48Man, most definitely.
47:49My team just keep telling me, keep shooting, man.
47:51Just keep shooting.
47:52So I'm just trying to come out here and just find my rhythm.
47:54Just, you know, keep moving forward.
47:56And as you're staying aggressive, you also had the four assists.
47:59So tell me about your playmaking and what you're seeing out there defensively.
48:02Just trying to keep the ball moving.
48:03Keep the music going.
48:05You know, especially with Steph out there, you know, we just want to keep the flow.
48:08And, you know, he likes the randomness.
48:09So sometimes you get put in spots where, you know, you've got to make a play, and I think that's
48:13what it's going to do.
48:14Steve has said you're a great pair with Steph Curry.
48:17How fun is it to see 30 next to you?
48:19Man, it's just so fun and it's just so unpredictable.
48:22And it's just, you get stuck watching sometimes, you know, his greatness.
48:25So that's all I can say about him.
48:27Dean, thanks for stopping, man.
48:28We appreciate it.
48:29Nice first half.
48:29Man, thank you.
48:30D'Anthony Melton with a dozen.
48:32Steph had 14.
48:34Warriors put four players in double figures.
48:37They built the 13-point lead at the break.
48:39Glenn and I will be back to Chase Center.
48:41Warrior Halftime Live, presented by Jack in the Box, is on the way.
48:48Toyota, class-leading MPG and more hybrid models than any other brand.
48:54Toyota, let's go places.
48:58At halftime with the Warriors leading by 13, we knew when Steph came back,
49:02it would all be about his shooting and scoring and having a superstar.
49:06But in the Houston game, 31 assists, only 11 turnovers.
49:10Tonight, 16 assists, only five turnovers.
49:13Kay, Curry's back, but they're taking better care of the ball.
49:15That's huge.
49:16I think the Warriors would be okay with having a repeat performance in the second half.
49:20You see the rapport is still there when it comes to Draymond Green and Steph Curry,
49:24the handouts there, GP2 and Steph Curry.
49:26But it's not just watch Steph work.
49:29Right.
49:29Everybody is still moving.
49:30The spacing is right.
49:31That's why the turnovers are down.
49:32Guys are staying aggressive, cutting when they need to.
49:35Pat Spencer had a great first half.
49:36You want to see more of that.
49:38Yeah.
49:38And Draymond Green defensively, you're getting to where they're going to select the all-defense team.
49:43Man, we're finding visual evidence of just watching a generational defensive player play at such a high level
49:50to the point where this guy's going to show you in the Bukis' big-time bifocals.
49:54Brought to you by your Bay Area Chevy dealers.
49:56Tell me about Draymond's D.
49:58One of the things he does so well is help and recover, even in tight spaces.
50:03Look at Renault here.
50:04We've seen this guy work all half, right?
50:07And he's got great touch.
50:08Help and get back to him.
50:09You make the driver pass the ball, Clifford, and you get back and you block the shot so easily.
50:15And that is easy rim protection for him.
50:18And then watch this.
50:19GP2, this is what I was talking about.
50:20He's got Doug McDermott just hemmed up.
50:23And because he had him hemmed up, now Doug McDermott can't really get to D'Anthony Melton in time
50:28for him really to stop Melton's momentum here and then freeze it here.
50:33Steph has been fighting plowed the whole time.
50:35He's going to come down in here, flare out this way.
50:39Draymond, the telepathic communication, he's going to set that screen there.
50:43And the screener's defender is not going to be able to offer the help in time.
