02:30All right, Cassidy, countdown to tip-off continues.
02:32We've got the Los Angeles Lakers
02:35and a desperate Houston Rockets squad
02:38for game three.
02:40We'll come back with starting lineups
02:41and then get it started
02:42from Houston after this
02:44on Prime.
02:53You're watching a special presentation
02:55of the NBA on Prime.
03:03I am the noise.
03:05It is playing all time.
03:06The noise is happening.
03:08I can be the enemy?
03:09Or your friend.
03:10We have to do that on the five times.
03:12Sorry.
03:14Second guess.
03:14Finish your mindset.
03:16We have a plan.
03:18Do you run from or run to?
03:20Lakers, Rockets, game three.
03:25What a sequence.
03:26We got up.
03:29Do the noise.
03:36We welcome you to the NBA Playoffs
03:39presented by Google
03:40with first-round coverage on Prime
03:42presented by Lilly.
03:44Joining you tonight
03:45from H-Town,
03:47game three of the Lakers
03:48and the Rockets,
03:50Los Angeles,
03:50with a 2-0 lead
03:52in this best-of-seven
03:53first-round series.
03:58Check out the starting lineups.
04:01Lakers the four-seed,
04:02Rockets the five-seed
04:04in the West for L.A.
04:05Smart,
04:06Kennard,
04:07James,
04:08Hachimura,
04:09and Aiton.
04:12Meanwhile,
04:12for Houston,
04:13changes with no Kevin Durant
04:15out with an ankle injury.
04:17Smith,
04:18Reed Shepard
04:19getting the start
04:19with Shangoon Thompson
04:21and Tari Eason
04:22is in the starting lineup
04:24instead of
04:24Josh Okoge.
04:28Emei Udoka.
04:30What's the key?
04:31Got to start making shots.
04:33They did not do that
04:34in either of the first
04:35two games
04:36against
04:36J.J. Redick
04:38and the Lakers.
04:38No, and especially
04:39in game two.
04:41Two for 15
04:42on wide open threes.
04:45That won't get it done.
04:46What has changed
04:48defensively
04:48from what you've noticed
04:49with L.A.?
04:51Well, look,
04:52Marcus Smart
04:53back and healthy.
04:54At the point of attack
04:56defensively,
04:58and then the two big guys,
04:59DeAndre Aiton
05:00and Jackson Hayes,
05:01have done a tremendous job
05:03so far
05:04against Shin Goon.
05:05The Lakers are 45-1 all time
05:09when leading two games to none
05:10in a best-of-seven series.
05:12That's what they've got here.
05:13A 2-0 lead over Houston.
05:15The Rockets were outstanding
05:16at home this season,
05:1730-11.
05:19But they're going to have to do it
05:20once again
05:21without Kevin Durant.
05:22He missed game one
05:23with a knee injury
05:24out tonight
05:24with an ankle injury
05:25that he suffered
05:26in the fourth quarter
05:28of game two.
05:29Our officiating crew tonight,
05:31Zach Zarba,
05:32Ray Acosta,
05:33and Trey Maddox.
05:39The Lakers
05:40got a 1-0-1-94 victory
05:43in game two
05:44over Houston.
05:47Stellar defense
05:48against Durant.
05:49A lot of double teams,
05:50a lot of blitzing.
05:51It frustrated him.
05:53Obviously,
05:53now it's going to be
05:54a different philosophy
05:55without KD in the lineup.
05:56Yeah,
05:56it'll be more like
05:57game one.
05:59But they've held
05:59this Rockets team
06:01eighth most efficient
06:02offense in the league
06:03during the year
06:04to under 100 points
06:05each game.
06:07Other notable things,
06:08this has been
06:10the slowest pace
06:11first round series.
06:14We are set to go.
06:18Houston trying to claim
06:20its first win of the series.
06:21The Lakers control the tip.
06:23Playing without Luka Doncic
06:25and without Austin Reyes.
06:26Reeves getting closer though.
06:29James had a vintage
06:30performance in game two.
06:32He finds Hachimorak
06:33who knocks down
06:34a triple to open play.
06:36Wow,
06:36the fifth best
06:37three-point shooter
06:38in the league
06:39during the year.
06:40He's now six for 11
06:41for three in the series.
06:46Thompson one-on-one
06:47with Spartan.
06:48Give it up.
06:49Shepard swing it.
06:51Thompson not looking
06:52to take the three
06:53but Shepard will.
06:54And connects.
06:54A good sign there.
06:57He's five for 17
06:59for three coming in.
07:02Six for 24
07:03from McClellan.
07:04So to pick that first one
07:05and go down
07:06could be a win for the Rock.
07:08He was 0 of 4
07:09from the field
07:09in game two
07:10in just 11 minutes.
07:12LeBron Jones
07:13got a three.
07:14Straight away, Trey.
07:15Well, the Lakers
07:17have been,
07:17they're low volume
07:19but they have been
07:20the best three-point shooting team
07:21in the playoffs thus far.
07:26Lakers shot it at 46%
07:28from three-point range
07:29in game two.
07:30Changu,
07:30they show two bodies
07:31at him.
07:33So they're going to double
07:34every post up
07:34coming from the baseline side.
07:36Changu,
07:37swing it,
07:38Smith,
07:43and a good sign for Houston
07:46that they're making them.
07:47They shot 24%
07:49from three-point range
07:50in game two.
07:52Canton's trying to spin on
07:53Eason,
07:54screen set by Smart.
07:56Attack mode,
07:57floated,
07:58Hachimura.
08:00Nice move on the baseline.
08:01He draws the foul.
08:05So LeBron involved
08:08in all facets.
08:10Wow, I mean,
08:11we've seen this guy
08:12just dominate this league
08:14for years.
08:15Gets the assist
08:17and then
08:18they don't even
08:19come out and guard
08:20in total confusion
08:21wide open.
08:23That's not a great
08:24three-point shooting year
08:25but that's a warm-up shot.
08:27foul has called
08:28on Jabari Smith.
08:30LeBron is now
08:31in his 19th
08:33career playoffs.
08:35That ties
08:37Stockton and Malone
08:38in the last six games
08:39without Doncic and Reeves.
08:41He's been asked
08:42to do a little bit
08:42more offensively
08:43just based on the circumstance
08:45and he has delivered.
08:46Yeah, which is,
08:47you know,
08:48you're a little surprised
08:49by because he's not used
08:49to having to be
08:50the number one guy.
08:51No, no.
08:52He's only scored
08:5343,000 points
08:55in his career
08:57in 8,300
08:59in the playoffs.
09:00Sheppard
09:01gets to the hoop.
09:03And the Rockets
09:04going for up
09:058-7
09:05after Hachimura
09:06split a pair.
09:08Well, they need
09:08that kind of offense
09:09out of Reed Sheppard
09:10tonight.
09:12Hachimura
09:12with the catch.
09:14He's got
09:14a height advantage.
09:16Pump from Shenjul.
09:19They'll go
09:20ball reversal
09:21with Aiden
09:21getting a touch
09:22six to shoot.
09:24Shoes against Smith.
09:25Chuck Rock
09:25winding down.
09:26James tried to
09:27dish it.
09:28It bounced off
09:28Shen Goon.
09:30And it's going to be
09:31a kickball.
09:33Shen Goon thought
09:34he got it
09:34with his hand first.
09:39Had a conversation
09:40with Zach Zarba
09:41and...
09:42Nope,
09:42he got it
09:42with his leg.
09:43Zach was
09:44correct.
09:46As Zach
09:47usually is.
09:48He's made
09:49to shoot
09:49smart
09:49with a ball
09:50of feet.
09:50Hachimura
09:51spins
09:53and scores.
09:54Hachimura
09:55has just been
09:55so good
09:56for them
09:58offensively
09:58all year long
09:59and especially
10:00he had 41
10:02strikes during
10:03the year.
10:04He was even
10:04more efficient
10:05than he was
10:06coming off today.
10:07He's got six
10:08at L.A.'s nine
10:09point.
10:10Shen Goon.
10:10Spin.
10:11Oh, that was
10:13Misty.
10:14Went around
10:14Aiden
10:15with the extension.
10:17Well, that's good.
10:18I mean, he's been
10:19getting...
10:20When he gets the ball
10:21up top,
10:22they play him
10:23one-on-one
10:24but he hasn't been
10:25able to convert.
10:26Open look.
10:27Hachimura
10:28nails it.
10:31Think anybody's
10:32going to miss
10:33a three tonight?
10:34No.
10:35Is anybody
10:36going to miss
10:36a shot?
10:37Both teams
10:38are four
10:39and four
10:39from the field.
10:42Well, the
10:42defensive end.
10:43There you go.
10:43You fall.
10:44You teams.
10:44Well, that was you.
10:45Okay.
10:46Thompson
10:46off the offensive
10:47rebound
10:48following the
10:49Shepard miss.
10:50And the step
10:51in by Smart.
10:52Just the
10:53effort level
10:54of Smart
10:55is contagious.
10:56So this is
10:57where Shin Goon
10:57gets one-on-one
10:58opportunities.
10:59He thought
11:00he fended
11:01him off
11:02with the arm
11:02but really
11:03that's a
11:04little wide
11:04open.
11:05The fifth best
11:06three-point shooter
11:07in the league.
11:07You cannot
11:08leave him open.
11:09Shepard using
11:10the screen.
11:11They give Thompson
11:11the jumper
11:12and it rims out.
11:13Good rebound
11:14there by Smith.
11:15And another
11:16reload for the
11:17Rockets.
11:18Smith over
11:18James.
11:19Too strong.
11:20Thompson keeps
11:21on the line
11:21but it's claimed
11:22by Smart.
11:22That is what
11:24the Rockets do
11:25and they've had
11:26a tremendous
11:27advantage in this
11:28series in
11:29shot of tennis.
11:30Luke Kennard.
11:31Man, he is
11:33locked and loaded.
11:35Wow.
11:36He is playing
11:37the best basketball
11:38of his career.
11:39The first two
11:40games of the
11:41playoffs,
11:42the two
11:42highest scoring
11:43games of his
11:44playoffs career.
11:4615-10 lead
11:47for the Lakers.
11:48Shepard crosses
11:48over.
11:49He draws a crowd.
11:51Smith is open.
11:52Bottom.
11:5815-13 lead for L.A.
12:01Hot shooting for the
12:02Lakers.
12:025-5.
12:03Now 6-6 on a
12:05special delivery.
12:06Aiden to
12:07Hachimura.
12:08Very good pass.
12:09Hachimura did a
12:10great job.
12:11He's being
12:11guarded by
12:12Reed Shepard.
12:13Seals him down
12:14low.
12:14No ball pressure
12:15on Aiden at all.
12:16Shepard with no
12:17hesitation.
12:18The track down
12:19by Shang-Goon.
12:20Shepard's got
12:21the green light
12:22and it's rebounded
12:23by Aiden.
12:30Rockets are
12:305-10 in the
12:32field.
12:32The Lakers
12:32are 6-6.
12:34Aiden stumbles
12:35and missed it
12:36on the interior.
12:38Thompson
12:39is going to
12:39do it himself.
12:40Strip to the
12:41ball and a
12:41foul.
12:42Cunard
12:42reaching in.
12:46There it is.
12:47No ball pressure.
12:48Nice pass.
12:49by Aiden.
12:50Great seal by
12:52Hachimura.
12:53He's already
12:54in double
12:5550s.

13:27We still have
13:27another game
13:28to come tonight

13:30visiting Portland
13:31for game three.
13:32That's your
13:32where he started
13:33outside of the game
13:33a piece.
13:33It's a great night
13:34for NBA fans
13:37and being able
13:37to watch
13:38two playoff games
13:39at once.
13:41That's heaven
13:41for NBA fans.
13:43Thompson at the
13:44free throw line
13:45where he shot it
13:46at 78%
13:48this season.
13:49Offensive numbers,
13:50major improvement
13:52from year one
13:53to year two
13:54to year three.
13:55Defense is always
13:55a state.
13:56Yeah, and he's
13:57an all-defensive guy
13:58and led the NBA
14:00in minutes played
14:01this year
14:022,953 minutes.
14:06LaRavia in the game
14:07for Los Angeles.
14:09So a change
14:10from JJ Redick
14:12on the floor.
14:13LaRavia gets to work.
14:14Wow!
14:16Reverse goes in
14:17for LaRavia!
14:19But there was
14:20contact with Shangoon
14:22and it's going
14:23the other way.
14:24Wow!
14:25They waved it off.
14:26Houston first possession
14:28of zone tonight
14:29and LaRavia drives
14:32the baseline
14:32and just extends
14:34that left arm
14:35into Shangoon.
14:37Good call
14:37by Ray Acosta.
14:41So the Lakers
14:43up by three.
14:46That is the second
14:47turnover for LA.
14:50Shangoon on a handoff
14:51for Smith.
14:52Long strides.
14:54Keep it up, Shangoon.
14:55Booking parties with Aiden.
14:57Kick it to Eason.
14:58Eason trying to get
14:59involved offensively
15:00and he does
15:01with the land.
15:03Houston had a big game
15:05and not misses shot
15:06from the floor.
15:08Canard.
15:10Off the heel.
15:12Smith with the board.
15:13Houston trying
15:14to take the lead.
15:19Shangoon out
15:20on the perimeter.
15:21Touching Mora
15:22takes it.
15:23Shangoon.
15:24Ball fake.
15:24Lays it in.
15:26Puts the foul.
15:27I love that.
15:29I think we talked
15:30to Ime Odoka
15:32before the game
15:33and I asked him,
15:34it seemed to me
15:35in the first two games,
15:36Shangoon had not
15:38used his shot fake
15:39after the dribble
15:41as much as normal.
15:43It's a great weapon
15:44for him.
15:45Ime Odoka
15:46thinking he just
15:47had missed so many
15:49shots.
15:50Cassidy?
15:51Yeah, and Shangoon
15:52was honest about
15:53why he struggled.
15:54He said he was rushing
15:55shots, trying to score
15:56before the Lakers
15:57double team arrived.
15:58He said it was
15:59roadblocks in his brain.
16:01Ime, you see on the other
16:02side that Shangoon
16:03was a little too hesitant,
16:04needed to attack quicker
16:05when the advantage
16:06was there.
16:07And then Thompson
16:08told me that Shangoon
16:09does so much offensively
16:10that sometimes he
16:11overthinks it
16:12and has too many options.
16:13But right now,
16:14he's playing freely, guys.
16:16Back on the offense,
16:17vote for L.A.
16:18LeBron James
16:19gets into the teeth
16:20of the defense
16:21for the deuce.
16:22A great putt,
16:24a nice pass
16:25from Luke Kennard
16:26who is proving
16:26in this series
16:27that he's far more
16:28than a three-point shooter.
16:30Shangoon loads it up,
16:32can't hit the three.
16:33James taps it over
16:34to Kennard.
16:37Head on a swivel.
16:39Pull him.
16:40Aiden, no.
16:41Cut the lob by James.
16:43LaRavia's there.
16:44Kennard fires.
16:46Aiden got there
16:48but couldn't convert
16:49on the interior
16:50and it's knocked
16:50out of bounds.
16:51Last touch by Houston.
16:52Well, Houston can't
16:54afford that.
16:54They cannot afford
16:56to have the Lakers
16:58beating them on the glass.
17:00And a change now
17:02for both teams.
17:04Shangoon sits.
17:05Clint Capella
17:07who is back
17:08in his second stint
17:09with Houston.
17:10Former Atlanta Hawks
17:11as well.
17:12Out there on the floor
17:13at Josh Akogi
17:15in for the first time
17:16for Houston.
17:18Jackson Hayes
17:19for L.A.
17:19And the bluff
17:20by Smith.
17:21Foul is called.
17:22Kennard was upset
17:23that he didn't get
17:24the call right away.
17:25Eventually,
17:26Trey Maddox
17:27blew the whistle.
17:29and that's two
17:30on Jabari Smith
17:31here early in the game.
17:34And they could have
17:35gotten Easton
17:36initially on the
17:37chop down.
17:38Yeah,
17:38I'm not so sure
17:40if I was Emei
17:40with Doka,
17:41I wouldn't have
17:41challenged that.
17:42Even if it went,
17:45you didn't have
17:46win the challenge.
17:47He wouldn't win the challenge.
17:49He would just go
17:50on the other guy
17:51Smith and
17:52Pilton down for them.
17:56Kennard is a money
17:58free throw shooter
17:59at 91%.
18:00You mentioned
18:01the scoring numbers.
18:0327 points in game 1.
18:0523 points in game 2.
18:07It's the highest
18:07scoring playoff game
18:10is 2019
18:12when he went for 21.
18:14So without Reeves,
18:15without Dodgers,
18:15which J.J. Redick
18:16has done,
18:17and this iteration
18:18of the Lakers
18:19has been highly
18:21efficient and effective
18:22on offense.
18:23And with that 2019
18:24that he was playing
18:25for the Pistons
18:27without a play.
18:30The tip-in goes
18:31and Capella got in there
18:33after the Smith miss.
18:34But it's the second-best
18:35perfect offensive rebound
18:37in the league
18:39and Smith just
18:40picked up his third foul.
18:41That is a rough one
18:43now for Houston.
18:44And Smith's
18:45going to get a technical
18:46as well.
18:46Had something to say
18:47to Ray Acosta.
18:50So add insult
18:51to injuries.
18:52Head to the bench
18:52with the three fouls
18:54and now the technical
18:55on top of it.
18:58Well, that was just
18:59a bad foul there
19:00by Smith.
19:05One, we're tied at 21.
19:08Smith is going to be
19:10on that bench
19:10for an extended period
19:12of time.
19:14And right now
19:15the Rockets
19:16have to go
19:18a little deeper
19:19with Dorian Finney-Smith,
19:20the former Laker.
19:22And Finney-Smith's
19:23first appearance
19:24of this series.
19:27The Lakers
19:27have seven field goals.
19:29They have seven assists.
19:30Smart.
19:31D-9
19:32by Thompson.
19:36Well,
19:37Mitch Thompson,
19:38you said it earlier.
19:39Ryan,
19:40just an outstanding
19:41defender.
19:42If
19:44Victor Wimbanyama
19:45were not in the league
19:46or didn't make it
19:47to the 65th game,
19:48he would have been
19:50my defensive player
19:51to you.
19:51Lakers retained
19:53possession.
19:53Hayes attacks
19:54and flips it in.
19:56Again,
19:57what they're getting
19:57from the center spot
19:59right now
19:59between the combination
20:00of Hayes
20:00and Hayes
20:01has been
20:02just an added bonus.
20:05Thompson misses
20:06on the floater
20:06and he's going
20:07to the creeper line.
20:08Hayes has always
20:09had this great
20:09agility and ability
20:11to adjust
20:12when he catches
20:13those short hole
20:14passes.
20:16Outstanding
20:16finish there.
20:19Made over 75%
20:21of his attempts
20:22on the year.
20:25Amen Thompson
20:26going to the
20:26free throw line
20:27after Jackson Hayes
20:29picked up the
20:30personal 416
20:31to go
20:32in a high-scoring
20:34opening quarter.
20:37Time to check out
20:38our live update
20:38presented by
20:39FanDuel.
20:40Current odds
20:40Houston minus
20:42three and a half
20:43over under
20:43215.
20:47Second free throw
20:48here for
20:49Amen Thompson.
20:53time to check out
20:54Grew up in
20:55San Leandro,
20:57California
20:57before playing
20:58his high school
20:59ball in Florida
21:00with his twin brother
21:02and then eventually
21:04for overtime
21:05a week before
21:06making their move
21:08to the NBA.
21:08I've gone
21:09for both
21:10Thompson
21:10twins on my first team
21:12all defense this year.
21:14Smart
21:14gets it up
21:15and Hayes
21:16throws it down
21:17and the foul.
21:19And Amen Thompson
21:21telling Clint Capella
21:22that he didn't need
21:24to come on this
21:25and he didn't.
21:26I mean,
21:27Amen Thompson
21:28has this played,
21:29watched this
21:30perfectly well.
21:32Now,
21:33Capella's a shot blocker
21:34but he overcommitted
21:35there
21:36and allowed
21:37the drop off
21:38to Hayes
21:38who's already
21:39got five points.
21:42Smart
21:42has three assists
21:45and again
21:46just tracking
21:46the field goals
21:48and assists.
21:49Every field goal
21:50they've made
21:51has had an assist
21:52attached to it.
21:53Nine and nine.
21:55Hayes diving
21:55on the floor.
21:57Hayes grabbing
21:57and Shepard
21:58digging for it
21:59and Hayes
22:00saves it for Kinnard.
22:01Whip it to the corner.
22:02Hachimura
22:03got a three.
22:05Tremendous sequence
22:06for L.A.
22:07Oh,
22:07incredible play
22:08by Jackson Hayes
22:10but Reed Shepard
22:11has to realize
22:12now that's become
22:13what a lot of people
22:14have started
22:15to do to him
22:16is blitz.
22:17He has not handled it
22:19well
22:19and they're trying
22:20to force turnovers
22:21on him.
22:22Kinnard in transition.
22:23Trailer is smart.
22:25Smart
22:26goes behind the back.
22:27That one was up
22:28for grabs.
22:28Hayes again
22:29finds himself
22:30in a tie-up
22:31situation
22:32and this time
22:33it is a jump ball.
22:35Well,
22:35Jackson Hayes
22:36should have followed
22:37back to the rim
22:38but this effort
22:39is just tremendous
22:40and then
22:42Luke Kinnard
22:42gets it out
22:43quick decision
22:45his second assist
22:46of the night.
22:47I'm sorry
22:48his third assist
22:49of the night.
22:50And now
22:51Hayes is going
22:52to jump it up
22:53with Dorian
22:54Finney-Smith.
22:55Jackson Hayes
22:56is a seven-footer
22:57but he is
22:58the first guy
22:59on the floor
23:00and we've seen it
23:01now on two occasions
23:02giving up his body.
23:03Well,
23:04this is what it takes
23:05to win
23:05big games.
23:09And the Rockets
23:10control it
23:12with Aaron Holiday
23:13now in the game
23:14for Houston.
23:16Shangoon is back in.
23:17Finney-Smith
23:19trying to bank
23:19that one in
23:20from three-point territory.
23:21I'm not sure
23:22I'm not sure
23:22he tried to.
23:23Okay,
23:23I want to
23:24rephrase it.
23:26Take away the try.
23:27Smart connects
23:30on a long ball.
23:32He made five threes
23:34in game two.
23:35That's a goal
23:36of one for five.
23:38And now it's a
23:39nine-nothing run.
23:4132-23 lead
23:43for L.A.
23:44They're six of eight
23:45from three-point territory.
23:47Okoge
23:48trying to force
23:48the action.
23:49Smack away
23:50by Smart.
23:54The Lakers
23:55are really
23:56humming right now.
23:58Kinnard
23:58puts it up
23:59and thrown down
24:01by Hayes!
24:03Everything
24:03is working!
24:05Look,
24:06Kinnard
24:07just put it up
24:08for grabs
24:08and Jackson Hayes
24:10did the rest
24:11with a crank.
24:12Jackson Hayes
24:13hesitated
24:14a long time
24:14and then decided,
24:16oh,
24:16there's nobody
24:16guarding me.
24:17Maybe I should
24:18run for the rim.
24:20Major
24:21highlight
24:21for Los Angeles.
24:23They are on
24:24a hefty run
24:25here in the first.
24:31Double-digit lead
24:32over the Rockets.
24:33Welcome back,
24:33everybody.
24:34I'm Eagle,
24:34Stan Van Gundy,
24:35Cassidy Hubbard,
24:36the rest of our
24:36NBA on Prime crew.
24:37Let's talk
24:37defensive strategies
24:38here, Stan.
24:39When you're coaching
24:40in the playoffs,
24:41what do you do?
24:42Do you vary it up?
24:43Do you switch it up
24:44based on the fact
24:45that you're playing
24:45the same opponent
24:46over and over again?
24:47Well,
24:47you have a lot
24:47of different plans
24:48coming into the series.
24:49Plan A,
24:50Plan B,
24:51Plan C.
24:52Great players
24:52make you go
24:53maybe to Plan Z.
24:55For the Lakers,
24:56though,
24:56it's been two
24:57different plans.
24:58With Durant,
24:59without Durant,
25:01and we have,
25:02right now,
25:02the Rockets
25:03have not made them
25:04adjust from their
25:06Game 1 plan.
25:07If you want to
25:08dive deeper into this
25:09or any NBA
25:10playoff topic,
25:11ask AI voting.
25:12Google search.
25:13And Gerwin lays it in.
25:14Plus the foul.
25:15the question
25:16when did the foul
25:18take place?
25:23So it is a push
25:25counted.
25:28And they're going to
25:29give it to Laravia,
25:31not to Jackson Hayes.
25:33So that's number two
25:34on Laravia.
25:36Well,
25:36Laravia trying to fight
25:38to keep the Rockets
25:40off of the glass there.
25:42Trying to keep
25:43Tarry Eason off.
25:45They've already
25:46got five offensive rebounds,
25:48only seven defensive rebounds
25:50for the Lakers.
25:52It's been the Lakers
25:53maybe only problem,
25:55and now they get
25:56another foul
25:57on the offensive glass
25:59here
25:59on the free throw.
26:03So the Lakers
26:05has had it rolling.
26:07You get
26:08a bucket for Shang-Goon.
26:10A foul
26:11away from Shang-Goon
26:13on Laravia
26:14sending Eason
26:15to the free throw line
26:16and now
26:16Shang-Goon is going
26:18to the strike
26:20after another foul
26:22is called
26:22against L.A.
26:30It's one shot
26:31because the free throw
26:32was already counted.
26:35Had the free throw
26:36been missed,
26:37it would have been
26:38two shots.
26:40Shang-Goon steps in.
26:42Two on one.
26:43Shang-Goon couldn't finish.
26:45Eason does.
26:46He's stuck with it
26:48as Shang-Goon
26:48tried to do it himself.
26:51And a delay
26:52of game warning.
26:55against Houston.
26:57But they cut it to five.
27:01Moments ago
27:02they were down by 11.
27:05Arabia handling it.
27:06Holiday
27:07trying to harass him.
27:09Under two minutes
27:10to go
27:10in this opening quarter.
27:12Little bump
27:13on Laravia.
27:14Holiday holds his ground.
27:16The cutter is canard
27:17and he flips it up.
27:18Comes up short.
27:20Up ahead.
27:21Thompson
27:22give it up.
27:23Holiday
27:23way off.
27:26Canard
27:27looking for the angle.
27:29And he's got it.
27:30Canard
27:31goes to the right hand.
27:33Well, canard,
27:34we've already seen it.
27:35Four assists.
27:36Not shooting
27:37great tonight.
27:38This guy's a lot more
27:39than a three-point shooter.
27:41Shang-Goon
27:42string music on a three.
27:43And that's big for the Rockets.
27:46Since the 1st of December,
27:49this guy's shot 25% from three
27:51after getting off to a great start
27:53in the season.
27:55So to see him getting going offensively
27:57is a major plus for the Rockets.
28:00Hachimura rises up
28:02and gets the bounce.
28:04Wow.
28:06Number 16 points
28:07on 6 of 6
28:08from the field
28:09in the opening quarter.
28:10That's incredible.
28:1338-32,
28:14L.A.
28:14We're down to 45 seconds
28:16to play.
28:17Shang-Goon
28:18has scored 11
28:19to lead Houston.
28:21Looking for an opening
28:22and then taken away
28:23by Hachimura.
28:25Canard forcing the action.
28:27Beautiful move
28:28but he couldn't finish
28:29with the twister
28:30and he's injured.
28:33He's got hit
28:34in a sensitive area.
28:35Holliday put it down low.
28:37Smart
28:38had it knocked away
28:39and he was fouled
28:40and I think you're right
28:42about Canard.
28:43And that's going to be
28:44a transition take foul
28:46on Houston.
28:50with 23.4
28:52on the clock.
28:59Dorian Finney-Smith
29:01picks it up.
29:02Canard is
29:03okay enough
29:05to shoot the free throw.
29:06And you know,
29:07the ball is the great heel.
29:09Yes.
29:10Let's check out
29:10the upcoming playoff schedule.
29:12Peacock tomorrow
29:13has Detroit
29:14at Orlando

29:34LeBron James
29:35back in.
29:36Lakers up by 7.
29:39Shot clock is turned off.
29:40Final moments
29:41of this opening quarter.
29:42Lot of offense.
29:44Houston has not cracked
29:45100
29:46yet in this series.
29:49Smart.
29:50They switch.
29:53Now it's Shepard on James.
29:55Finney-Smith
29:55with the help.
29:56Hachimura
29:57swim.
29:57Canard
29:58beats the buzzer
30:00but it doesn't go.
30:01It bounces off
30:02at the horn.
30:06Rui Hachimura
30:0916 points
30:10a career high
30:11in any quarter
30:12for him.
30:13The Lakers
30:14shoot 64%.
30:1614 assists
30:18in the opening quarter.
30:19You're watching
30:19the NBA playoffs.
30:20Presented by
30:23Bill Walton's
30:24legacy continues
30:25to live on
30:26through NBA Green.
30:27Today is Arbor Day
30:28and NBA Green
30:29is teaming up
30:30with the Arbor Day
30:30Foundation
30:31to plant
30:31three trees
30:32for every
30:33three-pointer
30:34made today.
30:36The first 32 trees
30:37will be planted
30:38in Bill Walton's
30:39honor.
30:40Bill was such
30:40a strong supporter
30:41of the league's
30:42environmental efforts
30:43having played
30:44an integral role
30:45in multiple
30:46NBA Green campaigns
30:47over the years
30:48and we certainly
30:49miss the big fellow
30:51Bill Walton.
30:52Absolutely.
30:53Is he a great
30:53three-point shooter?
30:54No.
30:55No, I don't believe so.
30:57Do you know
30:57his career numbers?
30:58We did look him up
30:59before
31:00and Bill didn't
31:01make one.
31:02He was so proud.
31:04But he tried
31:05four.
31:07Now that's a three
31:08for Smith.
31:09Playing with three
31:10fouls, he hits
31:12the top of the
31:13key three.
31:14Well, he made
31:15a joke up.
31:16Went back
31:17with his starting
31:17lineup.
31:18He's gotten so
31:19little off his bench
31:20in these games.
31:21They were the lowest
31:21scoring bench
31:22in the league
31:24all season.
31:25But in this
31:26series so far,
31:28if you take
31:29Tully, he sent out
31:30which tonight
31:31he's a starter.
31:32The rest of that
31:33bench is three
31:34for 27
31:36and 0 for 11
31:37from three.
31:38The tip-in
31:39by Vanderbilt
31:40who is now
31:41in the game
31:42with Ronnie James.
31:43That is the
31:44first non-assist
31:46field goal
31:46of the night
31:47for Los Angeles.
31:4915 shots made,
31:5114 assists.
31:52Ronnie James
31:54has started
31:55the second quarter
31:56now in all three
31:57games of this
31:59series.
32:00Doesn't play
32:01wrong, at least
32:02odds it in the first
32:03two, but gives him
32:04a few minutes here
32:05at the start of the
32:06second.
32:07Off the Houston
32:07turnover, Lakers up
32:09by six early stages,
32:11second quarter.
32:12James to James.
32:14LeBron against
32:16Eason.
32:17Jab, jumper,
32:19draws the foul.
32:20I mean,
32:21Terry Eason had to
32:21know that was
32:22coming.
32:22You can't have
32:23your hand out
32:24there over the
32:26ball on a guy
32:27like LeBron James.
32:28I mean, this is
32:29just, and he just
32:30leaves it there.
32:31It's not in and
32:32out.
32:33And that's just
32:34too easy for a guy
32:35as experienced
32:36and as smart
32:37as LeBron James.
32:39Not as smart
32:40defensive play
32:41by Terry Eason.
32:42Something struck
32:43you leading into
32:44this game with
32:44LeBron James
32:45going through
32:46the numbers.
32:47For many years,
32:48he was the
32:48youngest player
32:49to ever do
32:50fill-in-the-blank.
32:52Almost anything, yes.
32:53And now,
32:54he is the oldest
32:55player to do
32:56fill-in-the-blank.
32:58I know,
32:58it's incredible.
32:59I said this.
33:00We can argue
33:02forever
33:03on who the best
33:04player in NBA
33:04history is,
33:05but I do not
33:07think there's
33:07even an argument
33:08over who's
33:09had the best
33:10career
33:11in NBA history.
33:13I mean,
33:13LeBron James
33:14is the leading
33:15all-time scorer
33:16by 5,000 points.
33:19Smith just made
33:20a three
33:20and makes another.
33:24Jabari Smith,
33:25Jr.
33:26Bullseye.
33:27He is
33:28four of four
33:29from downtown.
33:30Well,
33:30it's good for them.
33:31They are
33:31six for 13
33:33now from three
33:33after shooting
33:3429%
33:36from three
33:37in the first
33:38two games
33:38of the series.
33:39Arabia
33:40is swatted
33:41by Thompson.
33:42Thompson leading
33:43the break
33:44for Houston.
33:46Trailer is
33:47Shingun.
33:47He's going to
33:48take it at
33:48Aiton.
33:49Kick.
33:50Eason.
33:52Overcooked it.
33:53Rebounded by
33:54James.
33:56Laravia running.
33:57And now
33:58wait for his
33:59teammates to make
33:59their way down
34:00the floor.
34:00James,
34:01no look.
34:02Laravia rolls
34:03to the rim
34:03for the bucket
34:04on the inside.
34:08He got bumped
34:09down to the floor.
34:11And a foul
34:12called on
34:13Bronny James
34:14on the perimeter.
34:17On James.
34:18You know,
34:19he guys scored
34:20over 43,000
34:21points
34:22and another
34:238,300
34:24in the playoffs.
34:24That's not even
34:25the best thing
34:26that he does.
34:26This,
34:27in my opinion,
34:28is LeBron James'
34:29best skill.
34:30He's as good
34:31a passer
34:32as we have
34:32ever seen
34:33in this league.
34:3745-38
34:38Los Angeles.
34:40Shingu.
34:41Nice feed.
34:42Thompson couldn't
34:43finish but a foul.
34:44Well,
34:45Shingu,
34:45the great passer
34:46and
34:48a bin
34:49Thompson
34:50really knows
34:51how to work
34:52the baseline.
34:53Second in the
34:54lead on the season
34:55in dunks.
34:57Great offensive
34:59rebounder.
35:00Just a fantastic
35:01player behind the defense.
35:02Lakers right now
35:04leading the points
35:05in the paint category.

35:18two blocks now for
35:21Amen Thompson.
35:24As he hits on a pair
35:26and Shingu
35:28ends up on the deck
35:29and that's a loose
35:30ball foul.
35:33And the Lakers
35:34are all making
35:35the flop
35:35and they're
35:37looking to the
35:37bench to
35:39challenge.
35:41JJ Redick does not
35:42look like he is
35:43going to challenge.
35:46So they're going to
35:47get DeAndre Aiton
35:49on the foul.
35:51That was just
35:52following a free throw
35:54trying to battle
35:55for position.
35:57Aiton's done an
35:58excellent job
35:58defensively against
35:59Shinn doing that
36:00combination of
36:01Aiton and Hayes.
36:02The buy-in level
36:04has been very high
36:05from what JJ Redick
36:06needs out of them.
36:07And JJ Redick
36:08very upset
36:09on that call
36:10but there now
36:12you don't jump in
36:13as hard
36:14and they give up
36:14the free throw rebound
36:16to a Min Thompson
36:17who's the best
36:18offensive rebounding
36:19non-center
36:20in the NBA.
36:23Shepard peeks
36:24at the clock
36:24winding down
36:25Shepard has to
36:26hoist
36:26Vanderbilt gets a
36:28piece
36:28and it's a
36:29shot clock violation.
36:35The Lakers
36:36up by five
36:37just about
36:38three minutes
36:38gone by
36:39in this second
36:40quarter.
36:42Shepard is
36:42one of five
36:43from downtown.
36:45Full zone
36:46here from
36:47the Rockets.
36:53swing it.
36:54James
36:55seven to shoot
36:55defended by
36:57Thompson.
36:58LeBron now
36:59with three
36:59with two
37:00James off
37:01bell.
37:02Oh!
37:02What an angle
37:03from the king!
37:05That's just ridiculous.
37:0947 to 40.
37:12His teammates
37:13did nothing
37:14to help him
37:15now.
37:15Lefty on an
37:16island with the
37:17blades of finger
37:18and you have to make
37:18a very different
37:19both side.
37:20Shepard shows it.
37:23Smith.
37:26Off the miss
37:27Thompson, the
37:27offensive rebound.
37:28Shangoon doesn't
37:30take it from the
37:30outside.
37:31He's just drives
37:31it to the paint.
37:32Swings it.
37:33Shepard.
37:34He needs to see
37:35one go down.
37:35That one doesn't.
37:37And a foul
37:38called off the
37:38offensive rebound.
37:40Easton got hacked.
37:42I mean, this is
37:44incredible.
37:44I mean, he just
37:45had to get one up
37:46because his teammates
37:47didn't help him.
37:48Nobody moved
37:48without the ball.
37:50Nobody set a
37:51screen.
37:54But he knocks
37:55it in.
37:57It's not the first
37:58tough shot of his
37:59career that he has
38:00made.
38:01The Rockets doing,
38:02again, the one
38:03thing they have done
38:04very, very well
38:06in this series.
38:08They're dominating
38:09on the offensive
38:10last 10.
38:11offensive rebounds
38:12to nine defensive
38:14rebounds for L.A.
38:18And so they have
38:18four more field goal
38:21attempts and one more
38:22free throw attempt.
38:24Easton gets a clean
38:24look and it's rebounded
38:26by Vanderbilt.
38:28For Capella back in,
38:29Jayshan takes
38:30seeing his first
38:31action of the night.
38:32Tick takes in
38:33defensively against
38:34LeBron.
38:35James, kick,
38:36corner, Vanderbilt
38:37off the rim.
38:39Popped up in the air
38:40by Moravia,
38:41claimed by Vanderbilt.
38:42Jake Moravia doing a
38:43great job getting the
38:45Lakers some extra
38:46possessions here.
38:47The jumper goes,
38:49Brody James,
38:51bullseye.
38:58The Rockets have missed their
39:00last five shots.
39:01The Lakers take a 10-point
39:03advantage.
39:03Shepard dribbling through
39:05traffic,
39:05takes it all the way,
39:06missed it with the left
39:07hand.
39:09L.A. on the move.
39:10Up top.
39:12Brody James from his third.
39:20My dad never threw me
39:22alive.
39:23Never.
39:23Not once.
39:25Still hasn't happened.
39:28I don't think it's going
39:29to.
39:29He's 90 now and I haven't
39:32been able to leave the
39:33floor in a long time.
39:35Shepard drains it from
39:36long range.
39:43The Rockets go back in
39:45their zone again.
39:46Kirsten of course playing
39:48without Fred Van Vliet.
39:49Torn ACL.
39:50He's missed the entire
39:51season.
39:52LeBron James with the
39:55jump shot.
39:55Off-balance delivery.
39:57He's making ridiculous
39:59shots while contorting his
40:02body.
40:03Shepard, the looper,
40:04doesn't go.
40:05Vanderbilt couldn't grab
40:06it.
40:06James trying to get it.
40:08Brody gets a hand on it
40:09and it's out of bounds
40:10off of Houston.
40:15Just load up the
40:17highlights right now for
40:18L.A.
40:21Father to son.
40:24A playoff moment to be
40:27remembered.
40:28And oh yeah, dad can
40:30still do that.
40:33Pretty good stuff for the
40:34Los Angeles Lakers who lead
40:36the Rockets 54-43 in the
40:38second.
40:41Welcome back to first round
40:42coverage on Prime presented
40:44by Lilly.
40:45We are here in Houston.
40:47The Lakers now in front 55-43.
40:49They have added a point to the
40:51Lakers total.
40:52LeBron James, that jump shot
40:53was called a two-pointer on the
40:56floor during live action.
40:58They took a look, changed it
41:01to a three-pointer.
41:02The James family is six of six.
41:06Pops is four of four.
41:09Son is two of two.
41:11LeBron is on the stint of the
41:13series as Brad gets it laid out.
41:16On the stint of the series and
41:18his first two hoops of the
41:19series.
41:21LeBron James is now five of five
41:23from the field.
41:24He's got 14 points in 13
41:26minutes to go along with four
41:29assists and three rebounds.
41:31And this is the largest lead of
41:32the night for L.A.
41:33A foul out front on James.
41:39So we'll continue to keep these
41:41numbers for you.
41:42Well, I like that.
41:43They've combined for 8,355 points.
41:46That's right.
41:46And it's kind of like the
41:47Henry Aaron, Tommy Aaron
41:49baseball trivia.
41:51Most home runs for a pair of
41:52brothers.
41:53I guarantee you there's not a
41:55father-son duo who has scored
41:58more points in the NBA than
41:59these two.
41:59They'd love to go out on a
42:01limb, Stan.
42:01I think you're right.
42:03And you notice it.
42:04Houston has gone small.
42:06No center in the game.
42:07Shingun on the bench.
42:09Capella on the bench.
42:10Tate operating as the center,
42:13even though there's three guys
42:15out there taller than him for
42:17Houston.
42:18Stan, the Lakers shot 64% in
42:20the first quarter.
42:21You figure, okay, how are they
42:22going to keep that up?
42:23Yeah, they didn't.
42:24They actually upped it to 70%
42:27in the second quarter.
42:3057.4.
42:32Houston back in the zone.
42:34Smart flip.
42:35Big finish.
42:37Jackson Hayes with a power jam.
42:41They are playing a lot of guys
42:43out of position in that zone.
42:45No idea what the assignments
42:48were for Jade in the middle.
42:50The steps through by Thompson.
42:52He couldn't finish it.
42:53And Hayes looking to get it
42:55ahead.
42:57The Lakers up by 15.
43:01Houston shooting at 39%.
43:05Out of bounds as Hachimura
43:07grabbed it.
43:08He was on that sideline.
43:10Sean Tate here steps up to stop
43:13the ball.
43:14Vinny Smith doesn't pull in.
43:16The Lakers are on that sideline.
43:16We tamam.
43:16I will never round took care
43:16See you next time.
