00:35arena it is the five seed the houston rockets taking on the fourth seed the la lakers 1-0 lead
00:42in the series for los angeles but that man right there the biggest story kevin durant in the lineup
00:48tonight listed as questionable game time decision so you've got two of the greatest to ever do it
00:54going head to head he and lebron tonight we check out the starting lineups brought to you by
00:59doordash no luca donchich no austin reeds obviously out indefinitely for the lakers
01:05but the big story kevin durant is back the knee contusion which kept him out of game one he is
01:12back and ready to play here for game two terry gannon along with hall of famer grant hill ashley
01:18also with us tonight obviously it changes a few things having kd back here grant it changes a lot
01:25of things kd does so much for this offensive attack but you said it best kevin durant lebron james in
01:32the postseason let's go for the fourth time and the first time it's not the nba finals they meet here
01:37tonight game two of the opening round josh tibben courtney kirkland justin van diem the officiating
01:43group we are underway in los angeles in game one the rockets took 27 more shots than the lakers and
01:52yet
01:52the lakers shot 61 percent they were so efficient offensively with the ball movement player movement
01:58and the facilitating of lebron james was stellar there in that game one luke canard also a huge game
02:05one loses this one turns it over and here comes alfred shangu on the run hachimora came over got a
02:13piece
02:13kicked out to the corner and the first shot of the game buried by jabari smith jr who had 16
02:19points in
02:20that opener and a great start great defensive possession there kevin durant with the block and
02:25then jabari smith knocking out a three look at this matchup out front kevin durant lebron james
02:32two legends mark is smart one-handed up off the glass didn't draw iron here come the rockets they
02:38want to push tonight it's all about pace and paint touches for the rockets finding some rhythm on the
02:46offensive end durant shangu inside out they go joshakogi from three-point range no second chance though
02:55taken away by james with durant on his hip lebron with the layup lebron james at 41 years of age
03:05terry
03:06playing the passing lane getting out in transition what he has done throughout his career and continuing
03:12to do it is so impressive and fun to watch it is 23rd year in the nba at the age
03:19of 41 and now matched up
03:21with the ramp and they get the switch hachimora and now picks him up high low on the time from
03:27the lost it got it back
03:28thought one of the wrong
03:31the crowd might be right right there but you see how organized houston was they ran a double team at
03:37duran
03:38they were able to make a bet marcus smart physical tossing on and what a bucket what a drive
03:44bucket in the file well it pays to be smart especially if your mark is there but marcus
03:52known for his defense and his leadership but he's head to head one-on-one against a man thompson one
03:58of
03:58the best defenders in the league and so right away paint touches from the lakers lebron in transition off that
04:06steal and mark is smart at the rim in his 12th year in the nba at oklahoma state average about
04:12nine points
04:13per game this year but have 15 in game one so tied up at five in the early going some
04:21up court pressure
04:22now on kd smoke got a piece take it away how about that defense
04:34this place is hopping by the way as it should be the way the lakers have played in the postseason
04:41they just have come out with great energy we saw the offense in game one here picking up kd full
04:48court
04:48getting on the ground diving for the loose ball and then lebron james looking like he's 21 not 41
04:57there in transition almost a three-point play opportunity but the swarming defense this laker
05:04team is playing possessed which has gotten better and better throughout the year the defense for the
05:09lakers i'm glad you said that they've improved immensely they they were 23rd in defensive rating at the
05:15all-star break since then they've jumped up to 14th so it's been a work in progress but playing their
05:22best defense when it matters most here in the postseason and lebron without luka without austin
05:29reeves out here not just taking over the scoring role but in the game one he did everything they needed
05:35every aspect of the game at different times in the game look at they're confusing they're going to run
05:41at durant every opportunity same doing hachimura got a piece a koge of group off control and body
05:48control to tap in and that's one of the challenges when you're swarming and double teaming it's making
05:53sure you block out and we know that houston was able to dominate on the glass in game one and
05:59that's
05:59where they have an advantage quick first step lebron in the lane double dribble though he's gonna argue it
06:08so jj ready in his second year took him to the playoffs won 50 games last year so two straight
06:15seasons over 50 games and you know where he went to school oh you're gonna mention it right off the
06:19bat that's what i'm saying in high school okay i'll accept that and it's the state guy with the duke
06:25guy
06:26here at the table we get through this it'll be a miracle third turnover already taken away by smart
06:32he's been so active defensively hachimura a little bit short with the three
06:38here comes kd he's going to control picked up though tough by smart elbow jumper just absolutely pure
06:45it is pure and you see why they've been running at kt in the half court get the ball out
06:50of his hands but
06:51and his size his skill set and his efficiency he gets to his spots he's automatic fifth all-time
06:58in scoring in the nba average of 26 a year or a game this year small top of the key
07:04three-pointer good
07:05step back beyond the screen
07:09for the lakers three of six in houston four of seven to start this game
07:17three of seven to start this game
07:17shangun
07:18louie achimura matched up with him lost it got it back a man thompson that dunk a roll along the
07:25baseline
07:27one and done this time
07:32lakers so efficient offensively throughout the year and in game one smart's got another one
07:42he's got nine in the game already and he's been aggressive you see him on both ends of the floor
07:47he got downhill three-point play two three-pointers so not just a defensive player smart playing great
07:55oh just holding durant there they get the switch now kd operates mid-range game something else it
08:02it really is just go either way 6 11 high release point
08:07just gets his shot whenever he wants never a bad shot always his shot
08:1217 straight seasons averaging 25 plus points per game
08:17canard who went for 27 in game one gives it up to smart not this time
08:24rocket to walk it up
08:27actually just pull it up go ahead and do that
08:31kevin durant said if you're not going to pick me up
08:34anywhere near the three-point line i'll let it go
08:38kevin durant is feeling it early
08:44that was long range and right now everything on the perimeter for la
08:48with the exception of that smart layup everything is a three-pointer here early
08:52shangun spins inside with the miss out the jump hook
08:57down dre it was really good game one he was
09:03finally gets up the court here
09:06so james isolated
09:11seven on the shot clock smith trying to stay with him and lebron lost the handle
09:18second turnover for the lakers as we get the time out here
09:21rapid pace early on to pour the lakers two-point lead here in game two for the houston rockets terry
09:27gannon back with grant hill what jumps out early in this one well that kevin durant is really good
09:33and his impact on the offense band and defense but for la right now it's been all marcus smart
09:40and he's been here complimentary player stepping up when his team needs it getting to the hole
09:45the pressure defense on kd diving on the floor and then knocking down some threes here just
09:53aggressive and engaged marcus smarts had loads of playoff experience and that experience right now
10:00is paying off key a key moves from marcus smart his 110th playoff game but how about perfect from the
10:07floor so far kevin durant three of three yeah and you see he's getting to his spots he just kind
10:11of
10:12weeds the defense so smart and we said earlier so efficient as an offensive player he's been known to come
10:19back
10:19after injury or being out and have a big game oh yes he has in paris he did that against
10:24serbia
10:26to our show terry eason off the bench how about the dunk in the finish on n thompson along the
10:31baseline
10:32does that often for the rockets working along that baseline matched up with smart now defensively
10:40and durant on lebron
10:45and i was trying to get it open across the crowd inside kick it smart again
10:51he is on fire to start the game he's got 12 already here he is on fire terry but also
10:58the team
10:58recognizing that continuing to find him the hot hand
11:04see if the rockets try to get it to kd out front draws a crack thompson inside shangun who struggled
11:11the bid gets the roll on the jumper this time and he needed that he struggled all of three in
11:16the paint
11:17thus far struggled the other night in game one and after he made that shot look his body language was
11:24like
11:24yes i needed that finally to see the ball go through the hoop ten points in the paint already for
11:29the
11:29rockets one of their keys tonight they get a w on the road canard left open elbow jumper good we
11:38know he can
11:39do that he is just playing at a high level great movement without the basketball thompson so strong and quick
11:48inside the elevation his improvement this season big time step in his game in his offensive production
11:57you see why on that last play
12:00smart around the screen steps back thompson one-on-one with lebron just going to back him in
12:07and the spin and the foot away and that's his shot i mean he gets in the post loves to
12:14turn over that
12:15right shoulder and you cannot block it it's so much separation shooters paradise so far 64 percent for
12:22the rockets 58 for the lakers shangun eight and tough shot good defense
12:33taken away by kevin duran kd on the run bumps into canal draws the foul will go to the free
12:40throw line
12:42like a one-man fast break right there from katie but look at this here lebron has been doing this
12:50for years and trust me i've been in thompson's position there nothing you can do and then duran
12:57just gets the steel burst out in transition initiates the contact
13:03just like i said a smart score two of the best there in that highlight package you held your own
13:09but what is it like to be on that island one-on-one match up with that man it's a
13:13hopeless feeling
13:14i mean lebron james and i saw him when he was in his prime and uh but the thing with
13:20him is that
13:22he really hurts you with his passing and you know you have to make a decision as a team do
13:28you double team
13:29him when you play him straight up of course when i saw him in miami and cleveland he was so
13:35unselfish he
13:36could still stumble into 30 points every 30 or 40 without thinking about it 100 so you got subs in
13:43the game jake larabia jackson hayes for the lakers reed shepherd is in and clint capella for the rockets
13:50kd with nine in the game already
13:53and art creates space using his body he hits the little fade away in the lane and he's playing
13:59with great confidence right now not just a shooter he's a basketball player and getting a chance to
14:05showcase his skills again 27 in game one perfectly on the arc five of five with four rebounds and three
14:12assists as well shepherd who came on and played that three card role especially starting late this season
14:18durant got another one i mean just pure that pretty fade away four of four from the floor he's got
14:2811.
14:31canard quick with the trigger yeah right there clint capella is in the drop coverage great awareness
14:38canard catches decisively goals he's open off that screen and roll and he's continuing to hunt his shot
14:45how good has this been offensively lakers have made their last five shots rockets have been so good as well
14:52he said did smart get there
14:54a little bit late
15:00so smart's gonna pick up the foul that is his first tied up at 24.
15:06turned out to be a beautiful night though in los angeles as we check out the draft kings player
15:11tracker to the best ever kevin durant with his average lebron just under 21 points per game draft
15:18king's the number one sports book for live betting get in on the action download the app and use promo
15:24code dunk when you sign up katie's been pretty good so far here too oh man he has been sensational
15:32we talked earlier about the olympics he was out for three weeks came out against serbio seven of seven
15:38from the field you see right now three of three has not missed but the most important thing he's moving
15:44well getting to his spots on both ends of the floor and then of course lebron james but he these
15:50guys are
15:50combined for 13 293 career points in the postseason which is in a lot of games a lot of games
15:58a lot of
15:59bad a lot of buckets shepherd leaves it for capella good catch and control tipped up no
16:05couldn't give up eason again tari eason tried again and again finally got it to go look like an old
16:11rockets legend moses malone on that had your rebound it's there you go yeah
16:16he's in a big game the other night 16 points 10 rebounds in game one
16:24canari off to larabia and jackson hayes just in off the bench
16:30that movement offensively down to one on the shot clock got to go ajimura did not get it off goes
16:36back
16:36to the rockets great defensive possession there by houston but we talked about on the glass where houston
16:44has dominated in the regular season they did the same in game one and just relentless pursuit
16:51that's been the achilles heel and talked to j.j reddick he said we got to value the basketball
16:56we can't turn it over and we have to rebound on the defensive end six offenses rebounds already for
17:01houston none for the lakers
17:14he is playing right now at a high level but you know when you see the ball go through the
17:20hoop
17:20you've made some shots you're gonna take those kind of shots
17:24and are making pay double figures already with him at the league in three-point percentage got a foul
17:31on the screen as they tried to guard durant looks like he's backing cameron right now the way he's
17:37shooting you're gonna get as many mentions in as you can tonight aren't you oh you know i mean
17:43nc state duke you see his game one numbers they're efficient aggressive
17:49and look i mean j.j's had to change how they've played with both luka dacic and austin reeves out
17:57not just from their scoring but those guys were their top two ball handlers now the lakers
18:03offensive attack as we see those two on the bench they're moving the basketball they're playing with
18:08maybe greater pace everyone's getting involved and luke canard is benefiting how does that change the
18:15mindset if you are j.j reddick approaching it as a coach thompson couldn't handle it so here come the
18:22lakers on the run with james back on the floor looks one way gets it up the other then you
18:26go missed
18:27eventually a foul is going to go against houston
18:32lakers off of their defense getting out in transition and lebron james running that attack
18:40you see capella making the nice walk there at the room but then
18:47jackson hayes there for the offense rebound and now getting fouled but to your point look so much of
18:55the lakers offense was austin reeves luka dodges drag screens they were so good getting into the paint
19:02making things happen now with them hurt they've had to pivot they've had to change how their style of play
19:07and jj i think is kind of a mad scientist in a way he i think he embraces and maybe
19:13even likes the
19:14challenge of figuring out the pieces he has and how to make it work on the offensive end i'm going
19:20to
19:20say it's fun you would never choose to have luka and austin reeves out of the lineup however
19:24there is a certain challenge that that would be fun in doing it you could i think you're right
19:37not this time first miss of the night for durant
19:42kamar oh my god barely touched his hands and let it go scramble underneath blocked by shangun
19:48gonna pick up the top and this is how the lakers have had success just the hustle plays swarming on
19:56defense
19:58trusting each other staying connected and not giving up on the play i like the effort jackson hayes has been
20:06steady on the offensive glass and once again back to the free throw line and being rewarded and he's
20:11giving them that you mentioned they had not had any offensive rebounds and trying to hang in there that way
20:18canard will take a seat smart back on the floor for the lakers
20:2553 and 29 on the year for los angeles and houston 52 and 30 so separated by a game
20:32over the span of 82 games the match up here
20:39page with the free throw
20:42it's an 11-4 los angeles run
20:49they're smart matched up with kevin durant
21:00eason over larabia off the glass no
21:04what a tip by lebron leading the break james spins it up no draws the five
21:15it's on durant his second
21:18i mean just it in the open for lebron james
21:26where he has thrived throughout his career and continues just so strong fast with the basketball and
21:34really all you can do is either get out of the way or foul
21:38number one in playoff minutes points steals
21:41games is basically three and a half more seasons that he has played
21:45all those years in cleveland and miami getting to the
21:50to the finals winning losing some whatever but those long seasons but
21:55with all the mileage on that body and you had the olympics too by the way oh and the olympics
22:00those summers his sacrifice
22:10not sure what happened there
22:17can't allow that to happen if you're in there dokus team it's a big no-no on a free throw
22:23reset that clock to 2.9 that was the whistle but what a move by smart
22:30thompson nearly but a 901 to end the quarter for the lakers and they pushed the ball up the floor
22:37a little bit at the end as well the nba playoff presented by google our coverage brought to you by
22:43kia
22:47the first the lakers up by seven so you don't have luca you don't have austin reeves but you have
22:53smart and canard and and and how phenomenal have they been just aggressive
22:59hunting their shots but i like how jj reddick has altered the offense to give them an opportunity for
23:05success and they have taken full advantage aaron holiday starts this second jay sean tate as well
23:11for the rockets and brawny james out there now for the lakers so father son on the court together
23:20smith tough shot along the baseline vanderbilt one and done lakers actually look to push late in that
23:27first change the pull up knock it down from beyond the arc right there in transition tate was way off
23:36of
23:36lebron you always have to fear him getting downhill but kind of just walked right into that
23:43we point shot grant it's a 12-01 for l.a right now
23:50thompson they swing it right through the hands of smith out of bounds
23:55turn it over back to l.a houston out of swords on offense but lebron just steps right in walks
24:00right
24:01into that three-pointer and everything clicking here offensively and defensively for l.a
24:08five turnovers for houston now he's gonna whistle away from the ball
24:15and a foul jay sean tate i believe holding lebron
24:21take trying to get physical still
24:27they still battle down on the block oh grab his arm right there oh and a swing to get through
24:34that
24:34screen for james the switch with shangun lebron says i'll just pull up again from right here
24:43you might not want to upset that man
24:47but right now this lineup how do you manufacture points i think shindu is going to have to be
24:53aggressive figure out a way to get some baskets on the offensive end
24:59smith long range in and out tipped up lebron as the game has gotten a little chippy right now
25:08they were just arm wrestling down below lebron getting into it with tape
25:13now he side a lot of grabbing and holding and did like that arm bar that swim swim move as
25:22you said
25:22and then iso he hit a shot there earlier gets his rhythm and connects so the first fall of the
25:30game on
25:31lebron james houston started the game 10 of 16 from the floor now two of their last 12 as smith
25:38rattles
25:39at home and they needed that big time you should have not a high volume three-point shooting team
25:44it ended a 15-0 run they take it away again they're in a holiday spots up nope
25:51kibana walking
25:56dictating case right now the lakers as well they really are just getting what they've won on
26:00the offensive end either in transition or on making his making it work
26:08fathered his son brawny had it blocked
26:12thompson on the run right past the radio vanderbilt on the reach
26:16how about the effort of vanderbilt to get back in the play
26:24not give up anything free and i thought la ravia got his arm
26:28the vanderbilt all ball you know in the playoffs you gotta always assume that there's going to be a
26:36foul go up strong but once again that play embodied the lakers effort and intensity here in this first
26:43half yandre eight and back on the floor hayes takes a seat sets the screen for james on the spin
26:50vanderbilt in the corner line drive shot no
26:56the rockets early in the game were able to get up and down and push the pace a little bit
27:00not as of late
27:01the rockets they don't want a lot of action it's a lot of iso and one-on-one players
27:07shingu makes them play but makes them pay for it but it's tough because this lakers defense they're so good
27:15and connect staying connected helping each other and that iso ball very difficult against this attack
27:22squeeze and roll it's swatted away at aftop by smith into the second row right there smith coming all
27:29the way from the corner there to help out and ayton i would have liked that ayton is winning there
27:35and
27:35tried to dunk it not finesse it there how about the help and the height there on that plot
27:42shabari smith not just a shooter market smart back on the floor for brawny james
27:50three on the shot clock screen and roll eight and tried to do exactly what you just said
27:55smith got a piece of it i think he heard me he may have
28:03in and out take the miss loose ball foul is going to go against the lakers i don't know about
28:09that
28:10mark is smart hand inside position was blocking out shigun looks like shigun tried to jump in the air
28:19and smart fall for the foul
28:26yeah i i don't know he had his hands up used his body his backside to kind of how you're
28:34taught to block
28:34out i mean that's how i was taught yeah so smart second foul here comes luke kinnard back on the
28:42floor for jj reddick you know i thought l.a might challenge that right there but jj ready chose not
28:49to
28:52shane good he's got a couple of buckets tonight inside but has had to work really hard for them
28:59to get the lead
29:00holiday looks up four on the shot clock one-on-one with smart gonna pull up nope eight and high
29:05into the air lost it tate eventually smith and lebron the box out
29:15so the lakers up by eight went on that 15-0 run to get the lead
29:23off balance james the three out of bounds back to houston
29:30nothing right now in the paint where houston
29:33really likes to dominate lakers defense is making houston shoot from the three-point line
29:4127 38 overall so hot to start the cold as of lake you know as two rockets run into each
29:50other and not
29:50each other down and lebron late to walk into the play
30:01iso for smart kicks it hachimura
30:04off the assist from marco smart that was his great recognition from smart he has the size
30:12advantage against holiday just gets into the bank weak side fell asleep
30:17rui achimura who had 116 threes on the season
30:23smith no contact on the rebound foul's going to go against the rockets who have
30:30their last five they missed from the floor they've gone cold
30:366.58 left here in the second quarter and the lakers with the double figure lead up by 11 over
30:42Houston as we send it over to ashley chalmity yeah guys and i'm talking about luke canard he
30:46dropped 27 in game one went five for five from the three he already has 10 points in tonight's game
30:51but he has been doing this since high school luke canard grew up in franklin ohio and his
30:57teammate jackson hayes grew up in cincinnati just a little bit a ways and said man luke was the man
31:02in
31:02high school he said he would watch him drop 50 points multiple times he's obviously been a shooter
31:07his whole life i asked earlier today just about his kind of newer role here on the lakers especially
31:12with teammates luke and austin reeves out and he said look i mean i'm really embracing uh being
31:17able to do a lot more than just be a shooter but he said it's really just about being a
31:21basketball
31:21player what got me here in the first place playing the right way being aggressive playing within
31:25the flow of the game and not trying to force anything just be under control but he said
31:29it is surreal wearing the purple and gold being in this iconic building i mean obviously he was here
31:34in la with the clippers but there's just something different he said about being a laker that deadline
31:38trade with atlanta comes over and yeah it it is all the other things as well though that he's doing
31:44besides just the shooting i know that's the main threat grant achimura with the missus well he's been a
31:50great shooter has led the nba in three-point percentage three of the last five years but there's more to
31:55his
31:55game and he's had a chance to unleash it here in the postseason koge gonna create give it up to
32:01shepherd
32:02floater in and out out of bounds it'll stay here with houston and that was actually a really good
32:08offensive possession there ball movement player movement shepherd just couldn't convert that floater
32:16gotta get shift this defense that likes to really help in the paint gotta figure something out they are now
32:23two of 14 in this quarter
32:27so the struggles continue offensively hesitation move along the baseline there's an example from kenard
32:34luke has the force looking like a jedi out there just getting and doing whatever he wants that was good
32:42by surprise there 12 in the game for kenard capella looks for some outlet smith matched up with kenard
32:52shepherd who started the last game and most down the stretch for them
32:55too long a shot clock they gotta go
33:00great defensive possession forcing houston into a tough contested off balance three they've had too many of
33:07those possessions offensively
33:11down the course hello
33:19smith the answer at the other end
33:27i know it's the playoffs this crowd's been into it but they just exploded took it to another level off
33:33that
33:34jump down here and that was impressive from derrick deandre aiden this play in this
33:39playoffs has been spectacular but smart just continues to make an impact
33:47four or five beyond the arc he's got 17 in the game marcus smart
33:55five fifteen the lakers here at home as we check out our at&t connected camp
34:02right there just a beautiful pass and the finish here by
34:13and then smart once again going into that timeout knocking down a three but he has been
34:21incredible he and kenard have really been the difference here in this game on both ends it looks
34:27like a heck of a lot of fun to be a part of that lakers offense right now yeah
34:31amen thompson you're going to go to the free throw line
34:34multi-file on jake laravia
34:37and they're just playing more like they just every there's a sense of urgency for the lakers on
34:43defense they're playing defense paranoid and then on offense the movement and the pace in the half
34:51court offense man so hard to stop so thompson with the free throws we check out our draft kings player
34:59tracker and durant and lebron fun to track those two tonight two of the best to ever do it draft
35:05king's number one sports book for live betting get in on the action download the app and use promo code
35:11dunk when you sign up so lebron gets a rest durant out there but he he's four or five from
35:17the floor
35:18but those were early and and really gone to a much lately little nakers doing a good job of double
35:24teaming getting the ball out of his hands and making others make plays
35:29laravia just kind of threw it to shangun that time
35:36it's just a casual pass by laravia right there you can't give the rockets any life whatsoever
35:48value in the basketball that's what j.j reddick emphasized in our meeting lakers did turn it over
35:5420 times in game one like the 24 points the miss by eight shepard's gonna pull up in on the
36:00yard
36:02durant in the ring good
36:05now surprise shepherd didn't pass it back obviously you had durant and smith crashing the glass able to
36:11get that rebound but you see now houston sort of finding some momentum and they're doing it with their
36:17defense kd with 13 in the game shangun trying to stay with smart hesitates
36:23take it away again shangun got a piece of it three turnovers in a row for los angeles that's their
36:29seventh overall plompson big step to create space no
36:37shepherd took it away another turnover
36:56it's an 8-0 rocket run and so smart laravia is trying to be physical with durant getting his
37:02space on the catch but durant someone with his talent has seen every possible defense you can imagine
37:09nice little attack of a closeout get to his spot
37:13little bump there low and
37:16you said it best a little one right now but it started because of the defense yep four
37:20turnovers in a row leading to this spurt as we close out this half for the rockets
37:26second foul on laravia so emio doka in his third year remember he took the celtics to
37:33finals one year there and they're winning six
37:37to nine oh houston run
37:42durant matched up right on the elbow with lebron quick pass to smart
37:49dangerous time right now for the lakers right now houston getting some momentum down 15
37:55they're gonna push here going into half thompson spins starry eason knocks down the jumper
38:02it's a three and the lead down to three quick timeout taken by jj reddick
38:10sunday night baseball is on peacock and nbcsn this week mike trout the angels heading to kansas city
38:17take on the royals american league showdown in kc on sunday night baseball live on peacock and
38:25nbcsn so the lakers went on a 15-0 run and now houston on a 12-0 run of their
38:32own
38:32playoff both teams that four or five matchup we've seen it time and time again in the postseason
38:41so evenly matched every possession matters i thought that jake laravia
38:46errant has really sparked this run by the rockets and now houston feeling good and the turnovers
38:53that they've created including the good offense
38:57thompson really good defender stayed with luke canard now switch
39:02thompson on lebron back down to the baseline
39:07one on the shot clock gotta go
39:10thompson may have got peace see this rockets defense ramping up
39:17kd got fouled on the shot hanchi mora got him on the elbow
39:27operating in space on the move kevin durant one of the best to ever do it just great handles at
39:336 11
39:34three length and talk about three-point shooting that he has
39:39made his mark in this league in the mid-range
39:45got the first as we check out the nba playoffs presented by google and national tv schedule on
39:50espn magic pistons and then the suns and the thunder thursday on prime video nicks hawks calves raptors
39:58nuggets timberwolves some more on these games please go nba.com or visit the nba app
40:04how about i mean how great are the playoffs and the unpredictability as well the magic with detroit
40:09what we saw with the sixers tonight what we saw with the blazers obviously wimby was harder than
40:16that game but you're right i mean this anything can happen the best time of the year we got the
40:21best
40:21seed in the house it's a pretty good one right here canard pd may have changed that shot a little
40:28bit
40:29offensive rebound hayes corner achimura elevated on the three
40:36how about that pass from hayes going up for an alley-oop the presence of mind to find the open
40:43corner three rory achimura who played 42 minutes in game one
40:48hayes just denied chengun
41:06the crowd noise grows lebron just backs in times in and a late whistle did they get kb they did
41:15that's three
41:22and that is his third and just a smart play by lebron in the post katie
41:29kind of came late as lebron got into the paint
41:33and lebron just went right into his body
41:37on that jump shot attempt so seeking contact the king
41:42right here katie comes and he just goes right into his body as he sees katie coming at him
41:47because kevin durant saying look i i was there he created the contact he did he did and that's just
41:53smart understanding how the games are called understanding how teams will guard him
42:01now katie with those three has to be cautious
42:05so lebron with 14 in the game go along with the six rebounds a couple of assists as well
42:10oh
42:14that's a good way to stop the rant vanderbilt just ran right into it
42:24all right they're trying to get through that screen and be physical but a little too physical
42:30because now they're in the bonus he gets to get to the line and shoot two
42:39i love that he's arguing that it's gamesmanship
42:44he argued that he's gamesmanship you know that sometimes as a defender you you don't mind
42:50giving up a foul being physical just want to send a message to a player later in the game
42:58i don't think it phases the rant but
43:00i understand the intent it's spoken like someone who's done it a few times yeah i play kobe here
43:06sometimes he just had to take a foul on let him know you're there you know oh
43:10how about the numbers on kevin durant here in the first half seven of seven from the free throw line
43:18and 20 in the game
43:22never a doubt that he was going to come back in a big way here
43:26very early in the game James fans
43:28whistle on the rebound and a foul
43:31gonna go against the lakers
43:38well we talked about his impact and how kevin durant is the key to houston's offense and
