00:30This series faces the winner of Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Lakers.
00:33The Thunder won game one last night.
00:36And hi everybody, Dave Pasch, Doris Burke, and George Sedano with you.
00:39A comeback for Anthony Edwards.
00:41Not many people thought he'd play in game one.
00:43Many thought he wouldn't even play in this series, but he was back.
00:46He was great.
00:47Had 11 points in the fourth quarter.
00:48He'll need to be very good again tonight.
00:50His presence in 29 points per game take a pressure off of everybody around him.
00:55Eased his way in through the first three quarters.
00:57He started the fourth brilliantly and let Julius Randle finish it off.
01:01Randle had, in the final four minutes of game one, six of the nine points for Minnesota.
01:07On the other side, Victor Weminyama struggled offensively.
01:10Needs to be better here in game two, but hard to ask for more out of him defensively.
01:14Twelve blocks the most ever in an NBA playoff game.
01:17It's only his fifth playoff game, so we'll give him a little bit of grace.
01:19But we know his impact on the defensive end is extraordinary, folks.
01:24He's going to take one step and simply erase an opportunity by the hard-driving Shannon.
01:31Look at the top of the square.
01:33He is at 11 and a half feet.
01:34How many guys can miss a steal, miss the first block of the left,
01:39still have the dexterity and body control to get it with their right?
01:43And that was not the only block.
01:45If they forayed into the paint, he sent a lot of them back.
01:50Twelve blocks.
01:51Now, his struggles on the offensive end were real.
01:54He said, listen, I've simply got to make shots.
01:57We'll give him a little bit of grace, Dave.
01:59Just playoff game number six now.
02:02Yeah, Mitch Johnson, the Spurs head coach, told us,
02:04I'm good with him taking that many threes and that many shots.
02:07We hope for more tonight.
02:08The starting five for Minnesota is the same, even though Anthony Edwards is back.
02:12He'll play about 25 minutes again tonight, but will come off the bench.
02:16Io DeSumo is back, too.
02:17He missed the last two games for the Wolves.
02:19San Antonio goes with its normal starting five as we are ready for game two.
02:27Victor Wembenyama, the unanimous defensive player of the year, the first ever.
02:33He'll need some help on the offensive end from De'Aaron Fox, who had his worst postseason game here in
02:402026.
02:41Didn't score in the first half, had just 10 points in all, and didn't make a three.
02:45And Julius Randle showed you his numbers in the fourth quarter.
02:50Nine of his 21 coming in that final quarter of game one.
03:01The game one winner and a best of seven goes on to win the series 75% of the time.
03:07That bodes very well for Minnesota.
03:09And if the Spurs don't bounce back tonight, they'll be in real trouble.
03:13Games three and four in the Twin Cities Friday and Sunday.
03:22Wembenyama will set the screen for Fox.
03:24And Fox will pull up.
03:26He missed the shot.
03:27Wembenyama bats it out.
03:28Out of bounds to Minnesota.
03:32You wonder how much more they're going to run that Fox-Wembe pick-and-roll.
03:36Didn't go to it as much as maybe people expected in that first game.
03:40Would be interested that they start their first offensive set with that.
03:45You got Castle trying to guard Randle.
03:48McDaniel stuck on the sideline.
03:50And Castle took a little shot to the face.
03:52He's fouled out of each of the last two games.
03:54They know he's going to be physical, but he can't pick up the cheap fouls.
03:58Right.
03:58Because of the caliber of offensive player and the way they're asking him to guard.
04:02Mitch Johnson said we expect him to get three or four fouls.
04:05But the cheap ones absolutely put them at a deficit.
04:09Fox keeps the drive here.
04:11And throws it out to Champagny.
04:13He lets it fly.
04:13The three no good.
04:14He missed what would have been the game-winning three with the second to go in game one.
04:23Here's McDaniels who's been sensational on both ends of the floor throughout the postseason for Minnesota.
04:29Randle spinning on DeSalle and he turns it over.
04:33Castle.
04:34And he fumbles it and turns it over as he tried to keep McDaniels from blocking it.
04:39Just tried to shield him on his hip.
04:41And he coughed it up.
04:42That is very rare that he has a defender on his back and comes away with nothing.
04:47Gives you a sense of the impact of Jaden McDaniels and the length he's got.
04:53He makes you second guess.
04:55So a turnover for San Antonio.
04:58Two for Minnesota.
04:59No points for either team.
05:00Gobert.
05:01Kicked it out.
05:02Kicked off Champagny.
05:03Three possessions.
05:04Three turnovers for Minnesota.
05:06Champagny for three.
05:08No good again.
05:09And Vignano comes soaring in for the slam.
05:16An emphatic first basket here in San Antonio for game two.
05:24Conley through the lane.
05:25Goes to the right hand.
05:26Missed the shot.
05:27Gobert puts it back up and in.
05:29He did not go for the dunk.
05:30That's big though.
05:31That was a Gortat screen to an offensive rebound.
05:34The Gortat screen was very good to Minnesota last game.
05:38Fox kicks it out.
05:39Castle takes the three.
05:40Drives into the lane.
05:41Euro steps.
05:43Missed the shot.
05:43There's Wemby again.
05:44And he doesn't dunk it this time but tips it in.
05:46He's got back-to-back flipbacks.
05:49So they wanted more pressure at the rim with Wemby.
05:52Well how about that two offensive rebounds.
05:54Two buckets.
05:58Here's Shannon who didn't play the first three games of the playoffs.
06:01But because of injuries he's had to play the last four.
06:05And he's been great as a foul is called here on Champagny.
06:08And Gobert will be at the line.
06:10Well let's watch the alien run the floor because he is coming down the floor.
06:15Full head of steam off the miss.
06:16Beats Rudy Gobert to that rebound.
06:19And then another opportunity here for a putback.
06:23Just the length and touch.
06:25So good.
06:25Gobert will be at the end of the game.
06:26Meanwhile Gobert is shooting 41 percent in the playoffs gets the first free throw.
06:31He's a career 63 percent foul shooter.
06:3553 percent in the regular season this year.
06:42The two centers have all the points here in the first two and a half minutes.
06:47Gobert misses the second free throw.
06:49The cell has got it.
06:56Gobert will be at the top.
06:57Webiniana, guarded by Gobert at the three-point line.
07:00Now box falls up and banks it home as Webiniana hits the deck.
07:05As does McDaniel.
07:34КОНЕЦ
07:54КОНЕЦ
08:06И это именно что Fox дает вам через первые четыре минуты.
08:10Есть высокая уровень.
08:12Он получил четыре, не получил в первую половину.
08:15В первую половину, один loss.
08:16Anthony Edwards готов к нам.
08:18Он будет играть 25 минут, но не начнет начинать за вторую игру.
08:22Шаннен, который начинает начинать,
08:23И это будет оба зацел.
08:28И альфа на Ранду,
08:30Альфа 35-фейт-фейт-фейт-фейт-фейт-фейт-фейт.
08:32Это первая фауа на Миннесота.
08:34Already 4 points, a couple rebounds for Wembenyama
08:37Had a triple-double in Game 1
08:39Including 12 blocks, the most in a playoff game in 50 years
08:44And what they talked about in the off day
08:47Was getting more pressure at the rim
08:49From the team, but from Wembeny
08:51So to start the game, he's had 2 offensive rebounds, 2 scores
08:54And there's his first lob of the series
08:57And a foul
08:59Already 6 points
09:01And a chance at 7, he'll go to the line
09:03So if you're a coach, you asked your team to do something
09:06And they have responded
09:08More rim pressure, better rolling
09:11Pick and roll action, Wembeny
09:13As Vassell likes to say, he says
09:15Throw it to the moon, I'll catch it
09:17Prepared for the physicality
09:19He's had 3 terrific finishes
09:22He's 22 years old, playing in his 6th ever postseason game
09:28He's the 3rd player
09:30With a triple-double, including blocks
09:32In NBA playoff history
09:36He's averaging in the playoffs
09:37About 5.5 blocks per game
09:39He averaged 3 during the regular season
09:41Which by far led the league
09:43As he became the first unanimous
09:45Defensive player of the year
09:47Shannon on the baseline
09:48The floater is good
09:49And TJ Shannon's been a revelation
09:52Offensively for Minnesota
09:53The last few games
09:54Love this level of aggression
09:56Smart floater there
09:57With Wemben looming
10:00Castle gets free
10:01And hammers it down
10:02Got passed
10:03Conley on the baseline
10:04For the easy 2
10:07So it's 12 paint points already
10:11For the San Antonio Spurs
10:13It was the thing Mitch hammered home to his team
10:16We need to get pressure on the rim
10:18First full year for 39-year-old Mitch Johnson
10:22A coach of the year candidate
10:27Shot clock inside of 10
10:28McDaniels is at a brilliant postseason
10:31Tough shot
10:32He gets at the fall
10:33And a foul
10:35Jayden McDaniels
10:36With 4 points early on
10:40So you talk about the revelation
10:42That Shannon is
10:43Well this guy's just been growing steadily
10:45Every year
10:46Jayden McDaniels
10:48Offensive arsenal
10:49Is near complete
10:51He has not shot the free ball well
10:53But going back a couple of years
10:55I remember Chris Finch saying
10:57We know he can make shots at a high level
10:59That is the only aspect of what he's done
11:02In this playoffs
11:02That hasn't worked
11:03Because he's been brilliant
11:05Aside from his 3-point shooting
11:07Yeah just 2 for 20
11:08Missed the free throw
11:09Io DeSumo's in the game
11:11He's back for Minnesota
11:12After missing the last 2 games
11:13Of the cap injury
11:14Interesting that he's the first guy
11:16Off the bench
11:16Not Anthony Edwards
11:17Edwards will play
11:19About 25 minutes
11:20We're told from Chris Finch
11:21Castle driving
11:22Hangs
11:22And met by Gobert
11:24In the air
11:24As both hit the ground
11:27Gobert still down
11:29On the other end
11:29Now just gets to his speed
11:30It's 4 on 4
11:32Castle comes back
11:33Defensively to help
11:35Randle
11:35Falls away
11:36Missed the shot
11:38Spurs wanted to travel
11:39On that Julius Randle play
11:41They felt like he picked
11:42His pivot for the
11:42Harper loses it
11:44As Conley knocks it free
11:45Randle
11:46Gives it up
11:47Gobert
11:47Blocked by both
11:48Wendanyama and Johnson
11:50But a foul
11:54Very physical first
11:555 and a half minutes
11:56Of game 2
12:02We're here in San Antonio
12:04The conference semifinals
12:05Delivered by Chipotle
12:06What a start for Victor Wendanyama
12:08Mitch Johnson said
12:10We need more pressure
12:11At the rim
12:11And that's going to start
12:12With this guy
12:132 offensive rebounds
12:15He had his first lob dunk
12:17Of the series
12:18They took it completely away
12:20In game 1
12:20The Spurs have taken 11 shots
12:239 have been in the paint
12:25Wendanyama hung out on the perimeter
12:26For a good part of game 1
12:28But a different mindset for sure
12:29Tonight looking to attack
12:31Let's remember that tonight
12:32Is just his 6th playoff game
12:35In his career
12:35And he talked about
12:36Sort of expending a lot of energy
12:38In the wrong direction
12:40He was brilliant defensively
12:42But he and Fox
12:43Struggled mightily
12:45On the offensive end
12:46Hard to win a game
12:47When your 2 best players
12:48Have done that
12:49Gobert not 1 of 3
12:50At the line
12:51Anthony Edwards
12:51On the floor
12:52For the first time tonight
12:53He had 11 of his 18 points
12:55In the 4th quarter
12:56A lot of people thought
12:57He wouldn't return
12:58At all
12:59In the playoffs
13:00After injuring his left knee
13:01In game 4
13:02Of their first round series
13:03With Denver
13:04But he was back
13:05On Monday night
13:08Gobert has
13:104 points
13:11So do McDaniels
13:13And Shannon
13:13Those are the 12
13:14For Minnesota
13:15Weminyama with 7
13:16For San Antonio
13:17He kicks it out
13:18Here to Harper
13:18Extra to the corner
13:20Vassell
13:20Can't hit the 3
13:21Gobert with the rebound
13:25Minnesota
13:25Won game 1
13:271-0-4
13:271-0-2
13:28On Monday night
13:29Pull up 3
13:29And
13:30Ripped it
13:31Rebound
13:31Keldon Johnson
13:36Entry pass
13:37Weminyama
13:38Just put it up
13:40Knowing he was
13:40Getting taken
13:41To the ground
13:43Second team foul
13:45On Minnesota
13:45We look at our
13:47Star matchup
13:47Brought to you by
13:48Metro by T-Mobile
13:49The numbers from game 1
13:50For the two stars
13:51We talked about
13:52Weminyama
13:538 of the 17
13:53From 3
13:54But for Anthony Edwards
13:5518 points
13:56But 11 of those
13:58Dave
13:58Came in the 4th quarter
14:00He was brilliant
14:01To start the 4th
14:02Julius finished it
14:03With 6 down the stretch
14:05But you know
14:05He brings 29 points
14:07Per game
14:07And an enormous
14:08Presence on both
14:09Sides of the floor
14:10So as he said
14:11I take a lot
14:11Of pressure on people
14:12Good hands
14:13Read knocks it away
14:14Out of bounds
14:155 in the shot clock
14:17They said
14:18The entry pass
14:19To Weminyama
14:20And the shot attempt
14:20Came after the whistle
14:21Blue
14:22And no continuation
14:23So that's why
14:24The side out of bounds
14:28Tough angle
14:29To get it in from
14:30But when you're
14:30Throwing it
14:30The guy's 7-5
14:31It didn't look
14:32As tough
14:32Here's a 3
14:33That's way off
14:34From Weminyama
14:35He's missed 9 in a row
14:36From out there
14:42Ayo Desumu
14:43Has missed the last
14:442 games
14:45Had 43 points
14:46In game 4
14:47Against Denver
14:48Edwards 3
14:49No good
14:49And a combined
14:510 for 7
14:52For the two teams
14:52Behind the arc
14:53To start the game
14:56Harper on the drive
14:57Met by 3
14:58He defenders
14:58Kicks it out
14:59Vassell will rise
15:01After he misses
15:02A 3
15:02Nas Reid
15:03Tracks down
15:04A rebound
15:05Spurs have yet
15:06To hit a 3
15:07Struggled from that
15:08Distance
15:08In game 1
15:10Edwards in the lane
15:11Lost the ball
15:12Gobert picks it up
15:13Now Desumu
15:14Driving
15:15Front-rended
15:16Gobert
15:17Missed the
15:18Followed
15:18Normally he'd take that
15:19Take a second
15:20And throw it down
15:21But you can't
15:21With Weminyama there
15:24Castle on the drive
15:25In and out
15:26And Gobert clears it
15:27He's got 5 boards
15:28Already
15:31Either team
15:32Can put it
15:32In the basket
15:33Right now
15:33Reid penetrates
15:35And scores
15:38He is such
15:39A tough cover
15:41His beat
15:42Is a little bit
15:43Different than most
15:44Castle
15:45Powers it off
15:46It wouldn't fall
15:47And a late whistle
15:48But a foul
15:49On jade mcdaniels
15:51That's his first
15:51And the 14th
15:52Pile
15:54I feel like
15:55It's different
15:56Than a lot of players
15:57He gets his three
15:57Off in a hurry
15:58If you allow him
16:00To down
16:00Hill
16:00You see that
16:01Little gather
16:01At the top
16:02Just trying to get
16:03That defender reacting
16:04And their body
16:06A little bit off balance
16:07He's got great
16:08Touch there
16:09It is amazing
16:09How much more
16:10You see teams
16:11Having to do that
16:12When Victor Weminyama
16:13Is manning the paint
16:14It is already
16:15Infected
16:16The putback
16:16Tries by Gobert
16:17And that drive
16:18Right there
16:19By Reid
16:20Our upcoming
16:21Playoff schedule
16:21Brought to you by
16:22Indeed
16:23Tomorrow on
16:23Prime Video
16:24It's game 2
16:25Detroit and Cleveland
16:26The Pistons up 1-0
16:27OKC looks to go up
16:282-0 in the Lakers
16:29This series on Friday
16:31Will shift to the
16:32Twin Cities
16:33And the Knicks up
16:342-0 now
16:35Go to Philadelphia
16:36For game 3
16:37For more
16:37Go to NBA.com
16:38Or visit the NBA app
16:40So Weminyama on the bench
16:44And Castle with the free throw
16:46He's got 4 points
16:47Spurs back up 1
16:54Edwards driving
16:55Got Castle on his hip
16:56Cornette comes over to help
17:00Now it's great for the timer
17:02Down to 8
17:03Hands off for Edwards
17:04And the 3
17:05Not even close
17:08Ahead to Johnson
17:09Looking to attack
17:12Missed a shot inside
17:13Rebound McDaniels
17:18Spurs without a field goal
17:20The last three and a half minutes
17:21Yet they have the league
17:22McDaniels will try it
17:24Another misfire from deep
17:25A foul inside though
17:28It's going to be
17:29I believe on Dylan Harper
17:32It's on Castle
17:33And he's fouled out
17:35Of each of the last two games
17:37So I think he's down low
17:39And he's just trying
17:40To meet Rudy with contact
17:41Because he knows
17:42This is going to be
17:43An offensive rebound
17:44Put back dunk
17:45He takes a pretty good shot
17:47But I was wondering
17:49Could he navigate the first
17:50Guarding Anthony Edwards
17:52Once he came in
17:53Without a foul
17:54Here's DeSumo
17:55Gets some airspace
17:56And his three
17:57Way off
17:58So Minnesota's
18:000 for 6 from 3
18:01The Spurs are 0 of 5
18:043 and a half
18:05To go in the first
18:06Minnesota leads
18:07The series 1-0
18:08Spurs by a point
18:09Johnson steps up
18:10This is a 3
18:11Edwards with the board
18:16A combined 0 for 12
18:18Between these two teams
18:19For three-point rate
18:24Edwards on the back
18:25Down on the smaller box
18:27Now falls away
18:28Can't connect
18:29Gobert underneath
18:29Rebound
18:30Missed the putback
18:31McDaniels
18:32Trying to tie up Harper
18:33And a Spurs ball
18:40Harper driving
18:41Spinning
18:42Puts up the shot
18:43And gets the bounce
18:47A lot of luminaries
18:49Here including
18:49Tim Duncan
18:50Watching the Spurs
18:51With the early
18:51Three-point lead
18:57Ingredients delivered by Chipotle
19:00We'll talk about our French connection tonight
19:03Victor Wembenyama and Rudy Gobert
19:05Have been teammates
19:06Born in France
19:08Countrymen as well
19:09But teammates on the Olympic team
19:11That won the silver medal
19:13Losing to the U.S.
19:14In the 2024 Olympics
19:16Victor Wembenyama is the newly minted defensive player of the year
19:22And Rudy Gobert has won the award four different times
19:26And Rudy Gobert and Victor Wembenyama's relationship goes way back nearly a decade at this point
19:31Wembenyama has been a mentee for Gobert
19:35When asked about familiarity being an advantage
19:38Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson told us
19:40He believes it comes with the game within the game
19:43Understanding each other's tendencies
19:45Now Wolves head coach Chris Finch told us
19:47Rudy
19:48He's amped up to play against Wembeny
19:49Gobert and Finch
19:51Met before the series
19:52To discuss strategy
19:53On how to play against Victor
19:55And then Rudy
19:55Addressed the team
19:57On how to play against Wembenyama
19:59Filling in his teammates
20:00So we'll see who has the edge tonight
20:02In game two
20:02Dave and DB
20:03And George you mentioned they met
20:05Almost a decade ago
20:06Wembenyama was 13 at the time
20:08And Gobert was 24
20:10Wembenyama was 5'11
20:12Three years later they met again
20:14Wembenyama was as tall as Gobert
20:16He had gained over a foot
20:18In three years
20:20Gobert's 7'1
20:22Terrence Shannon picked up his second foul
20:24So penalty situation
20:26And Fox at the line
20:26They're starting to stretch his minutes out Dave
20:2939 minutes 52 seconds
20:33So almost crossing the 40 minute threshold
20:35They normally run Wembeny
20:37In five to six minute clips
20:39Watch his fatigue level
20:40And lift him
20:42Tonight his first stint
20:44Went for eight minutes
20:49Spurs are 5 of 5 at the line
20:51They have a five point lead
20:52Edwards 0 for 4 to start the game
20:54And now 0 for 5
20:55Missing the 10-footer
20:57Haven't loved all of his shots
20:58In the last game
21:00He let it come to them
21:02Before imposing his will
21:04It's five shots
21:06Where it feels like
21:07The Ant-Man
21:07Is a little antsy
21:09To make an impact
21:11Fox went for the steal
21:13And it was last touched by Reid
21:16He disagrees with a call
21:17But it did look like
21:18After the deflection
21:19It hit Reid's hand last
21:22And for Chris Finch
21:25One of the things that this team is about
21:27Is getting downhill
21:28Getting to their drive game
21:30Getting the defense reacting to them
21:33Like they need to get to that
21:35They have five turnovers
21:37In just six baskets
21:38Fox penetrates
21:40Works through the lane
21:41And blocked by DeSumo
21:42Then last touched by Fox
21:43Out of bounds
21:44First block of the game
21:45For either team
21:46And it's by a guard
21:47Ayo DeSumo
21:49So you see Fox
21:50Tries to lift the defender
21:52DeSumo stays on his feet
21:54Makes a nice defensive play
21:56Both teams shooting
21:5835% or worse here
21:59In the first quarter
22:00P.J. Shannon loves it up
22:02And Gobert couldn't collect it
22:05And here comes San Antonio
22:06In transition
22:07With 90 seconds to play
22:08In the first quarter
22:14Harper going to work on Shannon
22:16He's got to be careful
22:17He's got two fouls
22:18Harper spins
22:19Well defended
22:20And rebound Reid
22:22Minnesota being very disciplined
22:25With their box outs
22:26Through the first 11 minutes
22:30Entry to Gobert
22:31Kicks it out
22:32Reid will drive
22:34Miss the floater
22:36Keldon Johnson has the board
22:39This is a terrible shooting
22:41Opening quarter for both teams
22:4327% now for Minnesota
22:4533% for San Antonio
22:48Timer at 10
22:49As Harper drives
22:50Spins
22:51Double
22:51Dibs it up
22:52Cornette
22:52And he puts it in
22:55All eight of their field goals
22:57Are in the paint
22:58San Antonio
22:59They're 0 for 6 from 3
23:01Which drops them
23:02To 24%
23:04It's the question
23:05You have
23:06Do they have consistent
23:07Shot making
23:09Knocked out of bounds
23:11It'll stay with
23:12Minnesota
23:12Cornette
23:13Coming up
23:14Big on both ends
23:15Of the floor here
23:16In for Wimbanyama
23:17Yeah he only played
23:18Eight minutes
23:19A season low
23:20For him in the last game
23:21As they stretch out
23:22The minutes
23:23But a very capable
23:24Backup big
23:25Obviously
23:31Edwards
23:32Trying to get free
23:33Good screen by Gobert
23:34And the 3 is down
23:35As Edwards barks
23:36At the Spurs bench
23:37His first points
23:39Of the game
23:40Rudy's screening ability
23:42He got in his
23:43First open three
23:44Tonight
23:44And missed it
23:45But there's a lot
23:46Of subtle things
23:47Rudy does
23:48To get his
23:49Teammates open
23:50Six second difference
23:52In the clocks
23:53Fox on the drive
23:56Timers down to four
23:58Fox will bring it out
23:59Try a three
23:59Around and down
24:01For De'Aaron Fox
24:03Nine points
24:05In the first quarter
24:06He had ten
24:06Win the entire game
24:08On Monday
24:09DeSuma with two
24:10Seconds left
24:11Gets it
24:11Fought by Johnson
24:12And the quarter
24:13Comes to an end
24:17The Spurs
24:18Really stepping up
24:19The intensity
24:19On the defensive end
24:21Here tonight
24:21In the opening quarter
24:26So Anthony Edwards
24:27A rough start
24:28To this one
24:29Missed a lot
24:30Of his shots
24:30Gets this three
24:31To go
24:32Gonna have a little
24:33Thing or two
24:34To say
24:35To the bench
24:36I'm back
24:36He told them
24:37The last game
24:38But you talked
24:39About it
24:39The Spurs
24:40Defense
24:40Absolutely
24:41More physical
24:42More locked in
24:45Stellar
24:50The T-Wolves
24:51Rudy you and
24:52Victor have gone
24:52At it here
24:53Toe to toe
24:54What can you tell us
24:55About that matchup
24:55For you right now
24:57It's great
24:58It's great
24:58You know
24:58They brought
25:00The physicality
25:00So we gotta
25:02Match that
25:02How does your
25:03Familiarity with him
25:04Help you in these
25:05Contests
25:07I mean he's
25:08A unique player
25:09So you just
25:10Gotta compete
25:11Just gotta compete
25:12And try to
25:13Try to make him
25:14Work for everything
25:14He gets
25:15Rudy good luck
25:15Thank you so much
25:16Thank you
25:16Dave DB
25:17George he's had
25:18A very good postseason
25:19Gobert
25:19And he's already
25:20Got six rebounds
25:21In this game
25:21To go with four points
25:23That number 27
25:25Is his draft position
25:26He is a prideful
25:28Guy Dave
25:30McDaniels in the lane
25:31This guy
25:33I mean he's able
25:35To navigate
25:35To the spots
25:36He wants
25:37He's got
25:37Incredible size
25:39If that three ball
25:40Ever starts falling
25:41This postseason
25:42For Jaden McDaniels
25:43Look out
25:43He's two for 21
25:45In the playoffs
25:46From deep
25:46Wembenyama
25:47Back on the floor
25:48Put his head down
25:50Now drives on Randall
25:51And the layup
25:52Is good
25:52Boy how easy
25:53Did he make that look
25:54Once he got deep
25:57Nine points
25:58For Wembenyama
25:58Nine for Fox
25:59And the lead
26:00Back to seven
26:00For San Antonio
26:01Trying to even
26:02Series at one apiece
26:04For going back
26:05To Minneapolis
26:05On Friday
26:07Traveling violation
26:08On McDaniels
26:08Another
26:09Wolves turnover
26:10Their seventh
26:11So Rudy's off the floor
26:12Julius moves to the five
26:13They don't mind this
26:14Because they want
26:15To bring a level
26:15Of physicality
26:16He's trying to use
26:17That six nine
26:17250 pound frame
26:19To knock
26:20Wembe off his spots
26:21But if you ever
26:22Watch Victor Wembenyama
26:23Warm up
26:24His assistant coaches
26:25Beat the absolute
26:26Bejesus out of him
26:27To prepare him
26:28For moments
26:29Exactly like that
26:30That's a nice little
26:31Move with a finger roll
26:32And he
26:32You know
26:33George talked about
26:34The relationship
26:34With Gobert
26:35He talked a lot
26:36With Gobert
26:36About how to
26:37Go through strength
26:39Training
26:39And all the
26:41Things you do
26:41With your body
26:42To try to prepare
26:43Yourself for NBA
26:44Regular season
26:44And playoff games
26:45And this is part
26:46Of the work put in
26:47They know that
26:48There's a level
26:48Of physicality
26:49The body types
26:50Put on him
26:50Are going to be
26:51Different
26:51Every single
26:52Possession at times
26:53And you've got
26:54To be willing
26:55To absorb it
26:55Play through it
26:56Don't worry
26:57About a whistle
26:58Or no whistle
26:59Just keep competing
27:02Ball is out of bounds
27:03Last touch
27:04By San Antonio
27:07Anthony Edwards
27:07On the bench
27:08To start the second quarter
27:10McDaniels driving again
27:11Falling away
27:12Can't get the bounce
27:13When Vignano
27:14With his fourth rebound
27:23Entry
27:23Wembe
27:24Spins past McDaniels
27:25Missed the first time
27:26But not the second
27:27He's got 11
27:28To pace
27:29And he's all scored
27:34No blocks yet
27:36For Wembe
27:36Yama
27:36But five rebounds
27:3711 points
27:38And now he closes
27:39Out on Reed
27:40But he drains
27:41A three
27:42He's got
27:43Nas and Julius
27:44On the floor
27:45This at times
27:45Can be challenging
27:46For Minnesota
27:47Defensively
27:48They commit a foul
27:49There
27:49In semi-transition
27:51Second foul
27:52On McDaniels
27:54So this time
27:55On the post
27:56It's Jaden McDaniels
27:57Who is an excellent
27:58Defensive player
27:59But that's a
28:00Complete mismatch
28:01And then
28:02Because of the
28:03Lineup here
28:04Wembe is forced
28:05To guard
28:06Nas on the perimeter
28:07And Nas makes him
28:09Play
28:10Both of Reed's
28:11Baskets have come
28:12With Wembe
28:13Yama challenging
28:14The shots
28:14Keldon Johnson
28:15Misses the first
28:16Free throw
28:18Johnson the sixth
28:19Man of the year
28:19The first Spurs
28:21Since Manu
28:21Ginobili
28:22But his game
28:23One
28:23Eleven point
28:24Performance
28:25Was his first
28:25Game in double
28:26Figures in the
28:27Playoffs
28:27They need more
28:28Scoring
28:29From Johnson
28:30If
28:31They're going to
28:32Contend for a title
28:34They're the two
28:34Seed in the west
28:35Minnesota the
28:36Sixth seed
28:36Johnson one of two
28:38And the Spurs
28:38Back in front
28:39By seven
28:40Edwards back
28:41On the floor
28:42For the Wolves
28:43With Carter Bryant
28:44The rookie
28:45Who did not play
28:45In game one
28:46Because of a foot
28:47Injury defending
28:48Randall fouled
28:49By Johnson
28:51And that's his second
28:53There's Carter Bryant
28:55In the basketball game
28:56And I think he is
28:57Big in this way
28:58The size and strength
29:01And lateral speed
29:02There are some
29:03Difficult matchups
29:04Physically with
29:05Julius
29:05And Anthony Edwards
29:07Obviously
29:07Carter Bryant
29:08Gives them another
29:09Body
29:10In that circumstance
29:13Randall doubled
29:14And turns it over
29:15Harrison Barnes
29:16Getting some minutes
29:17Here in the second quarter
29:19Eight turnovers
29:21By Minnesota
29:25Castle driving
29:26Gets deep
29:27McDaniels has to be
29:28Careful
29:28And he picks up
29:29His third foul
29:32Smart attack
29:33By Castle
29:34The second year
29:35Pro out of UConn
29:38Second team foul
29:39On the Wolves
29:39Can't put yourself
29:41In this deficit
29:41Right
29:42You're too important
29:43To your basketball
29:43Team
29:44Stephon
29:45Excellent recognition
29:46We've talked about
29:47His foul trouble
29:48Now you've got to
29:49Come in
29:49With Jalen Clark
29:51To replace
29:51Jaden McDaniels
29:53And Jalen's an
29:54Excellent defensive player
29:55He's not giving you
29:56What Jaden has
29:57Offensively
29:59Saturday before
30:00The Thunder and Lakers
30:01Game 3 at 830
30:02Eastern on ABC
30:03Ernie, Kenny, Charles
30:04And Shaq tip off
30:05Coverage at 8
30:05They'll be back at
30:0611 Eastern
30:07For inside the NBA
30:08To break it down
30:09Shaq getting the night
30:10Off tonight
30:10Draymond Green
30:11In for
30:12Shaquille O'Neal
30:13We'll catch up
30:14With those guys
30:15At halftime
30:15We'll look back
30:16On the Knicks
30:17Game 2 victory
30:18And also the first half
30:19Here in San Antonio
30:23Castle 4-4
30:24At the foul line
30:25In the game
30:25He has 6 points
30:27San Antonio
30:28With its largest
30:29Lead at 9
30:31Despite miserable
30:33Shooting for Minnesota
30:34And foul trouble
30:35For McDaniels
30:36Only trailing by 9
30:382.5
30:38Into the second
30:39Conley's 3
30:40Around it out
30:41Rebound
30:41Wembenyama
30:45Castle
30:45Looking to go
30:46Downhill
30:46At Edwards
30:47Fouled
30:48And goes back
30:49To the line
30:49First foul
30:50And Edwards
30:51Well he's
30:51Putting a ton
30:52Of pressure
30:52On them
30:53With his ability
30:53And willingness
30:54To keep
30:55Trying to
30:56Touch the paint
30:59Castle
31:00And Harper
31:00All year
31:01Have been able
31:02To navigate
31:02Their way
31:03Into the paint
31:04That's where
31:05They both thrive
31:06He's got a maturity
31:08And a physicality
31:09To what he brings
31:12His three point shot
31:13People question
31:14Coming in
31:15To the NBA
31:16Was under 30%
31:17Last year
31:18This year
31:1933%
31:20But in the playoffs
31:20He's looked like
31:21A different guy
31:22Shooting in the mid
31:2240s
31:23From three
31:24But think about
31:25What he's done
31:25Defensively
31:26Dave
31:26I mean
31:27Opponents
31:27Are shooting
31:2732%
31:29When he is
31:30The guy
31:31Is the primary
31:31Defender
31:32So he's
31:32Playing at a high
31:33Level
31:33Goal games
31:35He's just
31:35Number four pick
31:36A year ago
31:36Out of UConn
31:37Sorry about it
31:37He's just
31:38Got to stay
31:38Out of foul trouble
31:39He touched
31:39On it
31:40Early
31:41Yep
31:41Six fouls
31:42Each of the
31:42Last two games
31:43Had five
31:44The game
31:44Before that
31:47Wolves ball
31:47Down 11
31:48Just 22 points
31:49For minnesota
31:50Randall
31:51Hesitates
31:51Fires
31:52And swishes
31:53It through
31:53His first
31:54Points
31:55Of the night
31:56Tough shot
31:57Too
32:04So clark
32:05Defending
32:05Castle
32:08And castle
32:09Drives on him
32:09And
32:10Call for the
32:11Offensive foul
32:14And that's
32:15Two
32:15On castle
32:17That's going to
32:18Get to Aaron
32:19Fox
32:19Up and off
32:20The bench
32:20Is this
32:21Mitch Johnson
32:22Recognizing
32:23He's got two
32:23It can't be
32:24Three
32:25Here in the
32:25First
32:29There's a level
32:30Physicality
32:30From both
32:31Guys
32:31And this
32:33Is him
32:33Trying to
32:34Contend with
32:35Jurious
32:35How about
32:35To touch
32:36Julius
32:37On that

44:23Invited
44:23To
44:24The
44:24Block
44:24Party
44:24And
44:24Yes
44:25Mr.
44:25Wimbanyama
44:26We
44:26Know
44:56When
44:58That will kickstart him
44:59Tell you what
45:00He has been talking
45:01Not only every time he makes a shot
45:04But he has been so demonstrative on the sideline
45:07Like the intensity is pouring often but you have to trust the game's process
45:12This is as you said a totally different minnesota team in terms of approach than we saw in game one
45:20Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!
45:22Hearing two minutes to go in the first half it's a 16 point san antonio lead
45:27Shannon attacks goes right at cornet and it falls off the rim
45:32Johnson with the board and quick outlet the cell pulls up for three to stroke at the fall of jam
45:38by harper
45:43And you had shannon and julius randall lagging behind defensively so a numbered advantage in transition
45:52Edwards three no good rebound harper and a quick outlet castle nobody down floor for minnesota
45:58Another easy two for the spurs
46:03It's a 20 point game
46:05And you quick shoot it if you're anthony edwards again i feel like he's pressing
46:12Highland almost went into the backcourt and turned it over again
46:18Highland sidestep jump shot no good one and done again for minnesota two possessions in a row where one player
46:25for minnesota touched the basketball and a shot went up twice in a row
46:31harper gets a throw
46:36The spurs are blowing it open here late in the first half
46:43Will there be a response for minnesota
46:469-0 run
46:49Another minnesota turnover that's 10
46:54The spurs giving right back with 49.8 on the clock so look at the putback by harper a couple
47:02of slow
47:02lagging behind minnesota players you've touched on this this entire match their speed and minnesota's unwillingness or inability
47:12To get back and then you start feeling good if you're harper because you've touched the paint you've scored on
47:17a putback look at that three it's pretty good
47:21dylan harper 20 year old rookie out of rutgers the number two pick in the draft behind rookie of the
47:26year cooper flag
47:28And his shooting numbers have skyrocketed from about the middle of the regular season until now
47:36Reed saves it he's doubled shot clock down to 10
47:41Randall into a double team got caught in the air
47:45Edward sees the shot clock it's down to three they'll double him and take it away
47:49Now the cell challenged by reed but the cell with the slam
47:58It's a running dunk fest for san antonio
48:05About a half second difference in the clocks at the end of the second quarter
48:13Edwards and a foul on the drive
48:18As edwards will go to the line for the first time tonight san antonio's taken 16 free throws
48:23only seven for minnesota
48:26and
48:27It's because minnesota's not attacking
48:29like we've seen in previous games
48:31Now give give again san antonio credit the aggressive trapping at the top of the floor
48:39Forcing them into a lot of mistakes and a lot of patience by minnesota
48:45You know absorb the pressure make a good pass out of it
48:48Halftime presented by hyundai ernie penny charles dream on green in the studio
48:53Refiles of keldin johnson would love to get those guys thoughts on the effort from the wolves
48:58five seconds to go in the half the cell drives with three stops pops
49:03and no good as the buzzer sounds
49:08The lowest scoring half this season for minnesota
49:11playoffs or regular season just 35 points they trail by 24 as the spurs look to even the series
49:21three players in double figures for san antonio led by victor wambinyama with 14 no players in double figures for
49:29the t-wolves
49:30stay tuned for halftime presented by hyundai ernie kenny charles draymond after these messages
49:40This will be a class presented by google here in san antonio for the conference semis delivered by chipotle
49:46san antonio trying to even this western conference semifinal series in one game apiece
49:51leads by 24 as we get ready for the third quarter first half stats brought to you by ford
49:58the aaron fox and victor wambinyama both struggled offensively in game one but not
50:03in game two excellent first pass from both guys dave pasch door spurt george sadano
50:07nice response by the spurs team after what we saw in game one
50:11consider that the vast majority of this group
50:13is playing their fifth or sixth playoff game in their career and they were under enormous pressure
50:19here at home not to go down oh two so yes it was about fox and wemby leading the way
50:24but the fact
50:25of the matter is what a collective inspired response we saw it in the first round they lose game two
50:32at
50:32home victor wambinyama gets a concussion they go to portland under man beat the blazers in game three
50:38get down by 17 at halftime in game four respond and win that game and then close out the blazers
50:44in five
50:49nobody scored in double figures for minnesota in that first half as shannon misses a three it was
50:54the fewest point total fewest assists in worst three-point shooting of any first half this season
51:00for minnesota when banyama hangs missed the shot rebound gobert
51:10conley who did not have a field goal hits mcdaniels who got in foul trouble when he went out of
51:15the game
51:15in the lead balloon he picked up his third foul with about five minutes to go and the lead went
51:21from 14 to 24 castle wide open can't hit the three see if the process for minnesota is a little
51:31bit better and a little bit more reflective of what they did in game one offensive foul is called
51:38tom gobert that's his second personal game three is friday night in minnesota game four
51:45also in the twin cities on sunday the series tied at one apiece winner to play either okc or the
51:51lakers
51:51oklahoma city took a one nothing lead over la last night
51:59when banyama puts it on the floor there's foul on gobert two quick ones on rudy gobert this one
52:06will be a side out of bounds check in with george guys after game one victor wimbanyama lamented how he
52:11performed offensively he said he was doing unnecessary things in that game he was very
52:17perimeter perimeter oriented in that game you may remember that felt like a precursor to tonight's
52:21performance and him being more aggressive after an 11-point performance in game one well tonight he
52:26had 11 points in the first nine minutes of the game and he was particularly aggressive in the pain
52:32he scored 10 points in the first half on five of six shooting dave and db yeah oh for eight
