00:30Hello everyone, I'm Bob Steele and with me is Rod West.
00:33Before we get rolling, let's go courtside for the player introductions.
00:37And now, ladies and gentlemen, could I please draw your attention courtside for the starting lineups.
00:42At the guard position, Corral Brandon.
00:47At the other guard position, Chauncey Phillips.
00:53At forward, Wally Zerbiak.
00:59Also at forward, Kevin Garnett.
01:04At the center position, Bratislav Nesterovich.
01:10Introducing the head coach.
01:15And now, the starting lineups for your Phoenix Suns.
01:20At guard.
01:22In his seventh gear.
01:24From the University of California.
01:25Standing 6'4".
01:27Number 32.
01:29Jason Gibbs.
01:32Also at guard.
01:34In his eighth gear.
01:36From Memphis.
01:37Standing 6'7".
01:39Number 1.
01:41Anthony Hardaway.
01:45At forward.
01:47In his 12th gear.
01:49From UConn.
01:51Standing 6'10".
01:53Number 30.
01:54Clifford Robinson.
01:59At the other forward position.
02:02In his ninth gear.
02:03Out of North Carolina State.
02:05Standing 6'10".
02:07Number 24.
02:12Alcubriana.
02:13At center.
02:15In his 14th gear.
02:18Out of Yale.
02:19Standing 6'11".
02:20Number 14.
02:22Chris Dudley.
02:29Introducing the head coach.
02:38The T-Wolves get the opening tip to start the game.
02:45It's loose.
02:47It's stolen.
02:49It's knocked away.
02:51There's the steal.
02:54It's passed inside.
02:56Brandon puts the first points on the board.
02:59Surprising little effort from the D on that one.
03:01And he drops it in for two.
03:05Ball, ball, ball.
03:09Hey, switch, switch.
03:10With the drive.
03:12Kidd backs it back out.
03:15The shot clock shows five.
03:21Misses the jump shot.
03:22First team foul.
03:23Kidd gets fouled and was really close to getting the three-point opportunity.
03:28He'll go to the line for two instead.
03:31He can't get the first.
03:39He sinks for the second.
03:43Garnett throws it in.
03:49See the ball.
03:58Drives.
03:58They get it down low.
04:03Garnett gets the jumper.
04:05You have to be able to play better defense than that.
04:07If you expect to stop a sharpshooter like him from draining it, you've got to step it up.
04:18Dudley, this is it from the right block.
04:27There's the entry pass to the paint.
04:29There's the steal.
04:37Kidd, perfect from the top of the key.
04:39He can make that shot in his sleep.
04:42I love watching this guy shoot.
04:44Take him baseline, baseline.
04:52Go, go.
04:53In the paint.
04:56Dudley picks up his first rebound of the game.
05:07Go, go.
05:09Go, go.
05:11Go, go.
05:12Driving in.
05:12The shot pops is in five.
05:14Hardaway thunders it through the net.
05:16He is such a terrific ball handler, Bob.
05:19What a quick spin move that stopped the defense cold.
05:21Then he got his shot.
05:22You can't coach that.
05:23That's a talent.
05:25We got the ball.
05:33Go, G.
05:38Part away is Whistle for reaching in.
05:40Close, but too much contact.
05:47Serbiak will inbound this one.
05:50With the drive.
05:52They thread it underneath.
05:53The shot clock shows five.
05:55Shoots.
05:57Brandon misses the wide open shot.
06:00Well, I tell you what.
06:01They dodged the bullet right there.
06:02The three was wide open, but they're lucky that one didn't go in.
06:05Who's got ball?
06:06I got ball.
06:13Come on.
06:16Break in.
06:17This is the layup.
06:20Basket, basket.
06:23They pass it underneath.
06:24Second.
06:25Dudley gets Whistle for blocking.
06:26Hands hurt personally.
06:34He gets it to fall.
06:39Dudley inbounds the ball.
06:41Two-point differential between the teams.
06:43Fight around it.
06:52You got him now.
06:55Clock down to six.
06:57Releases.
06:58Robinson nails his first three-pointer of the game.
07:01The defense, believe it or not, Bob, had the advantage on that one.
07:04They just played it wrong, and it cost them three points.
07:07One point separating the teams.
07:12They thread it underneath.
07:14They push it inside.
07:16Get balls.
07:17We have a tight game here.
07:18It's nice.
07:19Basket there to keep it close early on.
07:21You don't want to let this game get away from you early.
07:24Okay, let's hold him up here, D.
07:32Shot.
07:33Shot.
07:34The ball's loose.
07:35The Suns track it down and get control.
07:39Puts it up.
07:41Jason Kidd is out of money.
07:42A very long three-pointer.
07:45Vesterovich throws it in.
07:47The T-Wolves bring it up court and are two back.
07:52Close quick.
07:57They work it in.
08:00Vesterovich gets the bucket, and that's his seventh point tonight.
08:03Bob, that matchup was all in favor for the defense, but they did take advantage of the situation.
08:08Two points.
08:09We've got a tie ball game here.
08:11Not too loose.
08:12Not too loose.
08:19You got it.
08:20The clock winds down to six.
08:25Fires.
08:26Break.
08:27Robinson will not finish that fast break off.
08:32There's the horn, and at the end of one, it's 11 to 11.
08:51Gugliata will inbound this one.
08:54Ball, ball, ball.
08:56Ball, ball, ball.
08:56Let's go.
09:02Let's go loose.
09:04Get out of here, baby.
09:06You can't overlook the way a block and help pump up your team.
09:09Gets everybody energized.
09:10Ball, ball.
09:11Here comes the double team.
09:16Drives.
09:17Ball, ball, ball.
09:24Releases.
09:25The T-Wolves score, and they're now up two.
09:27That goes down low next time.
09:28Robinson inbounds the ball.
09:30Two-point differential between the teams.
09:33He's doubled up.
09:35Gets past him.
09:36I believe with a run-in stop.
09:38If you're going to the hole, you better go strong if you get it right there.
09:42Nice double.
09:43Nice job.
09:44Nice job.
09:44Serbian throws it in.
09:47We've got a tie ball game here.
09:50They get it down low.
09:52They're inside.
09:53Swin' Ant dribbles back out.
09:55Picks his pocket.
10:00Come on, get back.
10:01Sit him down.
10:07We can do it.
10:08There's the entry pass to the paint.
10:11Hardaway can't sink the jumper.
10:13We're in the open, man.
10:16Driving in.
10:17With the drive.
10:19Serbian takes in the layup.
10:21Good.
10:21The basket is good.
10:22Pressure the shot.
10:23Guglietta will inbound this one.
10:25Two-point differential between the teams.
10:33The Suns in drop it in that time and continue to trail by Duke.
10:37Dudley pitches it off the ground.
10:39He's in.
10:39He's not the guy you want shooting that shot, but he got it to fall anyway.
10:43We've got a tie ball game here.
10:45They get it down low.
10:57In low.
10:58Dudley gets his sixth point of the game.
11:01Smart way to handle a guy who's in here facing.
11:03Just move to one side and before he can react, drop the hammer down.
11:07The T-Wolves bring it up court and are two back.
11:10They pass it underneath.
11:15Nice job.
11:21Okay, we're T-Wolves.
11:22They work it in.
11:25You should go out.
11:29See the ball.
11:30See the ball.
11:33Brandon kisses it off the glass and in.
11:36He's set himself up on that one by going with the crossover.
11:39Everybody expects moves like that from him, but that doesn't mean they're any easier to stop.
11:47You're the man.
11:48You're the man.
11:51Two minutes.
11:52Seven seconds to shoot.
11:54It's passed inside.
12:00Down to a minute 47.
12:10That's a move.
12:16He went for the ball, but got armed.
12:19Easy call for the ref.
12:21Garnett inbounds the ball.
12:27The shot clock is at five.
12:31It's up.
12:33It takes a bad bounce and goes out of bounds.
12:39Robinson throws it in.
12:40Hold tight, dude.
12:43Take him.
12:44Take him.
12:47Two balls.
12:50They spread it underneath.
12:51Drives.
12:53The pace in the first quarter is carrying over into the second quarter.
12:56Looks like it sure has, Bob.
12:58Neither team is lit up at all.
12:59This is a very tight basketball.
13:0158 on the clock.
13:04They get it down low.
13:06They're inside.
13:07They're inside.
13:08Take it down low.
13:1148 on the clock.
13:14It's knocked away.
13:16Picks his pocket.
13:17The clock shows 41.
13:19Driving in.
13:21Brandon.
13:22Banks in the layup.
13:22Good.
13:23He did a great job eluding the defense there.
13:26He is so, so good at maintaining ball control while executing the spin.
13:30That's the way to play the game.
13:32The clock shows 31.
13:34Fall, fall, fall.
13:41The shot clock shows five.
13:43Now five, three, two, one.
13:46Puts it up.
13:48Good stop.
13:49Good stop.
13:50We're down to 12 seconds.
13:57Score, score.
13:58The T-Rolls.
14:00Score.
14:00And they're now up to 12.
14:02Dudley will inbound this one.
14:04Puts it up.
14:06T-Rolls.
14:06The shot.
14:07The last ones to get a piece of it before it went out of bounds.
14:11Garnett inbound.
14:12The clock runs out.
14:14And we're heading to the house.
14:15The score.
14:1621 to 19.
14:18NBA is hosting day and overnight camps for all skill levels ages 18 to 17.
14:25Improve your game.
14:26Have fun, meet new friends, and meet NBA players.
14:31Stop by the fan assistance table to pick up a free brochure.
14:44Looking at the quarter shooting percentage, there's a pretty big difference between the two teams.
14:48Bob, I attribute that to one team being a bit more patient than the other.
14:52When you're more patient in your offense, you take higher percentage.
14:55He's on it with a flush.
14:58Beautiful offensive effort right there.
14:59He looks very confident as he drove through the hole for the air assault.
15:03We've got a tie ball game here.
15:06It's blocked.
15:07Score just blocked.
15:09That's a good example of how you play defense in the NBA.
15:12Kidd, kisses it off the glass to win.
15:15Pirouette looks a little fancy, but it can really flummox the defense, Bob.
15:18He gave him the space he needed to get the shot.
15:22Two-point differential between the teams.
15:25There's the entry pass to the team.
15:30Now, that's how you play the game.
15:32You've got to love how he just slices through the D's weak spot.
15:35No fear.
15:35No fear at all.
15:37We've got a tie ball game here.
15:38Let's go.
15:41Hardaway can't connect from 12 feet.
15:45Take him baseline.
15:47Baseline.
15:51He got love.
15:57Seven on the shot clock.
15:59Yo, keep it outside.
16:00The Suns touched it last right before it went out of bounds.
16:04Little miscommunication on that one.
16:06Pass went a little wide on.
16:07Serbiak throws it in.
16:09He's drawn the double team.
16:10Locked.
16:11Done a denial, Bobby.
16:12He's got that hand up there and sent it back down.
16:15Great job.
16:16That was some effective half-court defense there, Bob.
16:19By the time the offense had a second chance, the shot clock had expired.
16:23They push it inside.
16:24Dudley.
16:25Courses eighth-point of the game.
16:26See, that's why you can't let up on any player in this league.
16:30Even the worst shooter can make the short shot go in if you give him enough room.
16:34The T-Wolves bring it up court and are two back.
16:41Close quick.
16:44Drive.
16:45Oh, he's Erbiak.
16:46Stuff's not one home.
16:47Oh, he's Erbiak.
16:48That's a nifty little combo that kept the D at bay.
16:50They weren't expecting the crossover.
16:52You could tell.
16:53We've got a tie ball game here.
16:55I got ball.
16:55In the paint.
17:07The T-Wolves bring it up court and are two back.
17:10Brandon makes it in the layup.
17:12They're making him look better than he is on the low post.
17:15They should have been able to shut that play down.
17:17We've got a tie ball game here.
17:21With the drive.
17:22Hardaway takes it back out instead.
17:30The shot clock is at five.
17:37Dudley took the tough shot and couldn't connect.
17:39He out-battled everyone else down there.
17:42Big defensive rebound.
17:43He's doubled up.
17:45Great shot.
17:46And these guys are putting on a clinic.
17:49As you can see, they're really shooting well.
17:51Bob, they are just on tonight.
17:52Simple as that.
17:55Kidd feels his 12-point with a bucket there.
17:58Beautiful move to get the deuce.
17:59I love watching this guy operate down low.
18:02We've got a tie ball game here.
18:03Give it up.
18:04Give it up.
18:10They pass it underneath.
18:11It's loose.
18:12Stolen.
18:18Work it.
18:19Work it.
18:20It's passed inside.
18:22Robinson misses the jump shot.
18:24Break.
18:25Break.
18:25This is the layup.
18:27Even numbers.
18:29It's two on two.
18:34Cut.
18:35Cut.
18:40Seven seconds to shoot.
18:42It's knocked away.
18:44Picks his pocket.
18:49Go, go.
18:51It's good.
18:52And he's leaning his team on.
18:53Just look at those numbers.
18:55He's taking over the job of Deer.
18:56Here, he's getting the job done.
18:58The T-Wolves.
19:00Bring it up court in our two-backs.
19:01Come on.
19:08Driving in.
19:10Brandon gets it off the last hit.
19:12Good.
19:13Such a terrific ball handler, Bob.
19:15What a quick spin move that stopped the defense cold.
19:17Then he got his shot.
19:18You can't coach that.
19:19That's talent.
19:28Take it.
19:28Take it.
19:30Seven on the shot clock.
19:35Shoots.
19:36Let's go, team.
19:36Pick it up.
19:37Robinson.
19:38This is the tough shot.
19:41Look at it.
19:42Look at the other side.
19:53Fires.
19:54Brandon.
19:55This is the jump shot.
19:56He is putting the defense through their paces.
19:59They were very fortunate to stop him there.
20:01We're at the end of three with the score.
20:0331 to 31.
20:17Here's the graphic with the scoring breakdown, Rod.
20:19Well, pretty even overall for the scoring.
20:21It's who takes control here in the fourth quarter
20:23is who's going to come away with the win.
20:26It's stolen.
20:33You can do it.
20:35They pass it underneath.
20:41Cut.
20:42Seven seconds to shoot.
20:44It's stolen.
20:46It's stolen.
20:46It's stolen.
20:48It's stolen.
20:49It's stolen.
20:57He's yours.
20:58He's yours.
21:02Puts it up.
21:04Serbiak.
21:04This is from way back.
21:10Hey, switch, switch.
21:20Close out right.
21:23There's the entry pass to the paint.
21:26Drops in his 16th point of the game.
21:28Oh, sweet shot.
21:30He got to be a little off guard.
21:31Nailed the easy two.
21:33Great shot.
21:34Two-point differential between the teams.
21:40Drives.
21:40I'll take you.
21:41I'll take you again.
21:42Phillips.
21:43Watches the layup.
21:44Way to play the boards and to come away with the aggressive defensive rebound.
21:48Blakely, no fouls.
21:49Here comes the double team.
21:56Let's go, team.
21:56Pick it up.
21:58Dudley took the tough shot and couldn't connect.
22:03With the drive.
22:04Blakely, Blakely, no fouls.
22:06No fouls.
22:10It's up.
22:11The Sarabets can't sink the jumper.
22:14Although his execution was a little shaky, he still prevents the two.
22:19Go, go.
22:20Go, go.
22:23Releases.
22:25Hardaway, too long on the shot.
22:27The Suns were the last ones to get a piece of it before it went out of bounds.
22:32Barnett.
22:32Inbounds the ball.
22:33Basket, basket.
22:37They're inside.
22:39Unbelievable.
22:40He's in the middle.
22:41That's where you've got the hot hand.
22:43Give him the run.
22:44Watch him score.
22:45Simple as that.
22:47We've got a tie ball game here.
22:51He's doubled up.
22:53Blakely, no fouls.
22:54They get it down low.
22:55It's blocked.
22:56Nice block there.
22:58Terrific defensive stop.
23:00The shot clock shows five.
23:01You got him.
23:01You got him.
23:04It's up.
23:05Bad shot.
23:06Guglietta can't sink the jumper.
23:09The T-Wolves touched it last right before it went out of bounds.
23:12That one got away from him and it cost him the possession.
23:15Robinson throws it in.
23:19Driving in.
23:22He's got the most points so far for his team, Bob.
23:25He is stepping it up.
23:27The T-Wolves bring it up court and are two back.
23:30Garnett gets the basket, but that's only six points for me.
23:34Garnett gets the basket, but that's only six points for me.
23:34No reason you can't add a little style with your substance.
23:38We've got a tie ball game here.
23:40We've got a tie ball game here.
23:41They thread it underneath.
23:43Robinson scores, but we'll get to see a bit more from him.
23:46He's got only five.
23:47Serbiak will inbound this one.
23:50The T-Wolves bring it up court and are two back.
23:57Garnett gets the basket, but that's only six points for him.
24:00Beautiful move to get the deuce.
24:02I love watching this guy operate down low.
24:04We've got a tie ball game here.
24:15With the drop.
24:17Hardaway takes the basket, but he's eliminated only four points so far.
24:21Penny Hardaway went to Phoenix and got himself a fresh start.
24:24Teaming up with Jason Kidd in the back court allows him to play the two spot,
24:27which he prefers and he plays well at.
24:30Seventy, six ticks left.
24:34There's the entry pass to the paint.
24:36Shoots.
24:37Right, right.
24:38Looking at him, he seems a bit rattled by it.
24:41He doesn't have his usual touch today.
24:43Sixty-two seconds left.
24:46He's drawn the double team.
24:50Ball, ball.
24:53The shot clock is at five.
24:55Five, four, three, two, three, two, one.
24:59Comes back out.
25:00Fires.
25:01Robinson.
25:02This is the tough shot.
25:03You've heard it a million times.
25:04Rebounding is all about desire.
25:06And he had the most desire on that play.
25:12Garnett dominating inside.
25:14He pulls down.
25:15Another rebound.
