00:00:30If you see Asar Thompson, go the other way.
00:00:32Do not try to dribble around.
00:00:33I mean, we got Chippy here.
00:00:34Don't get throwing his hand up like that's not a foul.
00:00:36I taught you better than that, Dump.
00:00:39Yeah, just some careless turnovers.
00:00:41But, you know, the fight for Cleveland to get back in it.
00:00:44I mean, the one thing we do know about this series is no team is out of it.
00:00:48They will let you back in.
00:00:50So, like we said, taking care of the ball, that's the biggest story.
00:00:54Offensive rebounds.
00:00:55Whoever does that first, I feel like it's going to win.
00:00:57Yeah, this also is kind of singing the same song.
00:01:00This game five, the half did end similarly to this.
00:01:02We know what happened in that game.
00:01:04But not only do the Pistons lead at half, they're outscoring the Cavs in the paint.
00:01:07Points off turnovers, bench points, fast break points, more rebounds.
00:01:11But as you said, they are not up by as much as you would think if you hear those facts
00:01:16there.
00:01:16All right.
00:01:17A reminder.
00:01:17If the Pistons do hold on to win this game,
00:01:20we will be right back here on Sunday for a game of seven between Cleveland and Detroit here on Prime.
00:01:29All right.
00:01:30Cade is doing his best to keep Detroit's season alive.
00:01:32He's got a game-high 16 points.
00:01:35The Pistons lead the Cavs 54-51.
00:01:37The Hat presented by AT&T continues after this.
00:01:40In the nightcap of our doubleheader tonight, we've got a game six out west.
00:01:45Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves, they need a win to force a game seven against the Spurs.
00:01:50And earlier, our Cassidy Hubbard caught up with Keldon Johnson.
00:01:53It's time for Quick Connect, presented by AT&T.
00:01:58Keldon, you've talked a little bit about how you've been overthinking in these playoffs,
00:02:02but you really seem to find your rhythm in game five.
00:02:04How do you continue to build on that in this game?
00:02:06I'll just continue to stay aggressive and be myself.
00:02:08You know, my coaches and teammates, they always trust them and believe in me since day one.
00:02:12So, you know, it's my job to go out and perform and do what I do for the team.
00:02:17And it's been an emotional and physical series.
00:02:19And when you see teams testing Victor, both physically and mentally,
00:02:24what have you learned about your teammate through this process?
00:02:26We've got to just continue to have his back, continue to step up to physicality,
00:02:29meet them where they're at, continue to be smart about it.
00:02:32Of course, we don't want any dumb things to happen,
00:02:34but we've definitely got to continue to have his back.
00:02:36Longest tenured Spurs, first playoffs, one win away from the Western Conference Finals.
00:02:42How do you guys get it done tonight?
00:02:43Continue to do what we do, build on our good habits, rely on those good habits,
00:02:47and I think we'll be in great shape.
00:02:48Thanks for your time and good luck tonight.
00:02:50Thank you so much.
00:02:51You have a wonderful night.
00:02:53From one cowboy hat to another.
00:02:56Eric, you look happy.
00:02:57You look super happy there.
00:02:59Okay.
00:02:59You let Kelton borrow your hat?
00:03:01That's where we're going?
00:03:02That's great.
00:03:03I like mine better.
00:03:04Mine is cooler.
00:03:05Look nice and comfortable up there on the back, though, dude.
00:03:08Whoa, whoa.
00:03:11At the break in Cleveland.
00:03:12Look at the turnovers here to this kid.
00:03:14Look at the turnovers.
00:03:14Take this out.
00:03:15The kid was a turnover.
00:03:16The kid was a turnover.
00:03:17The kid was a turnover.
00:03:18The kid was a turnover.
00:03:18Detroit leads it by three.
00:03:20The second half is next.
00:03:24The Hound is presented by AT&T.
00:03:27Connecting changes everything.
00:03:31The way we dance and the way we make love.
00:03:39I can't stop chasing, chasing after you.
00:03:43Then watch you dance, watch you move, watch you move, yeah.
00:03:56Fun first half.
00:03:58Welcome back to the NBA playoffs presented by Google.
00:04:02We're in Cleveland where the Cavaliers are trying to close out this series, leading three games to two.
00:04:09Over the number one seed, Detroit Pistons, Kevin Harland, Candace Parker, the great Dwayne Wade, two Hall of Famers by
00:04:16my say.
00:04:17I'll begin with you, Candace.
00:04:18First half thoughts.
00:04:19Well, the first half thoughts on the Detroit side.
00:04:22I mean, they've really won all the hustle plays, which is what they have to win to bring this game
00:04:27home.
00:04:28Obviously, Cade has put the team on his back in the half court, but they've gotten contributions.
00:04:33They've used their bench 19-11, scoring from the bench, outscoring the Cavs.
00:04:38Yeah, Candace, and the Cleveland Cavaliers is all about urgency.
00:04:41They've made a lot of mistakes.
00:04:43Forget the mistakes.
00:04:44Continue to play with that energy and that effort that is needed here at home to win.
00:04:48All right, moments ago, our Christina Pink caught up with Asar Thompson of the Pistons.
00:04:55All right, thanks, Kev.
00:04:57Asar, a lot of activity from you on both ends of the court.
00:04:59You even picked up a flagrant in that first half.
00:05:01How are you setting the tone with your physicality?
00:05:04Being aggressive every play on offense and defense.
00:05:06That's it, yeah.
00:05:07What do you guys need to do in the second half?
00:05:10Because the Cavs went on a run there late.
00:05:11How do you guys get some separation here?
00:05:14Keep our composure and keep doing what we were doing to start the game.
00:05:17All right, thanks so much, Asar.
00:05:19Kev?
00:05:20Christina, thank you very much.
00:05:22Here we go.
00:05:22The second half is underway.
00:05:24The top seed Pistons, 60-win season, down three games to two.
00:05:29Has it first.
00:05:31Danis Jenkins, Cunningham, 16 in the first half.
00:05:35Duren is back in stride.
00:05:38Fake, Cunningham fires and nails the three.
00:05:42And that's the poise that I'm talking about.
00:05:45He's not going to take contested shots.
00:05:48I mean, this guy.
00:05:51Hey.
00:05:52I just love the offense coming out.
00:05:54The ball movement, making the Cavs defense.
00:05:57He's done sets for three.
00:05:58Making the Cavs defense move, rotate.
00:06:02That's what you have to do in Detroit,
00:06:04making sure that they're not just able to load up.
00:06:07Mobley in, right into Harris.
00:06:09Jump ball.
00:06:10Nice defense by Tobias Harris.
00:06:15Just great defense right here by Tobias,
00:06:18making sure that he get his chest back in front.
00:06:20A lot of guys stay on the side,
00:06:21and that's when they get in trouble.
00:06:22So Tobias doing a great job of getting his chest back in front,
00:06:25getting his hands on the ball,
00:06:27and causing this opportunity right here.
00:06:29It should be noted coming in.
00:06:30Here comes Harris out of that jump ball.
00:06:32Mitchell is riding him.
00:06:36Got it.
00:06:37And that right there is a ball that the Cavs have to win.
00:06:40The ball was out there.
00:06:41Nobody went to go get it.
00:06:44Oh, caught it.
00:06:45Mitchell on the fly.
00:06:46Oh, nope.
00:06:48By the way, wiped it off.
00:06:50As he was driving,
00:06:52Cleveland in the third quarters of this series,
00:06:55plus 28,
00:06:56but down four so far in this third.
00:07:00And Don does a great job when he's driving to the basket.
00:07:03His eyes, if you watch his eyes,
00:07:04if they look like an N1,
00:07:06his eyes is always up to see how the defense is going to rotate.
00:07:10Where are their hands?
00:07:10Where are their feet placed at?
00:07:12And he takes advantage of it.
00:07:15The first four points scored by the Pistons.
00:07:17A move here by Harden.
00:07:19Got a hand at it defensively once, twice.
00:07:23Another whistle, another foul.
00:07:25And right there, Jared Allen
00:07:26and taking a book out of the Detroit Pistons.
00:07:31Attack on the offensive glass,
00:07:33getting extra possessions.
00:07:34James Harden wins this.
00:07:37Duran block,
00:07:38and then Jared Allen,
00:07:39when your big goes over to help,
00:07:40it is your job to clean up the offensive glass.
00:07:44Jared Allen at the free throw line.
00:07:46Kevin Biggs hate that.
00:07:48And they do their job
00:07:49to come over and block shots
00:07:51and be there to help
00:07:52on a guy who got beat.
00:07:53And then the guard don't do their job
00:07:55to block out.
00:07:56The bigs hate it.
00:07:57Here's what I was talking about this.
00:08:00The third quarter,
00:08:02plus 28.
00:08:05And now,
00:08:06plus three,
00:08:08Detroit,
00:08:09in this third quarter.
00:08:12So for the series,
00:08:14it's plus 25 for the Cavs
00:08:17in the third.
00:08:17Let's see what happens.
00:08:18Cunningham is in.
00:08:21And it goes out.
00:08:23Jenkins,
00:08:24on the fly,
00:08:25hits the shot.
00:08:26It's a triple.
00:08:27And there had to be conversations
00:08:28by the Pistons
00:08:29in halftime
00:08:30that they have to start
00:08:31the second half better
00:08:32to be able to give themselves a chance.
00:08:35Biden lost the ball.
00:08:36A turnover there.
00:08:37Duran,
00:08:38three on two.
00:08:39Harris on the wing.
00:08:40The collision while airborne
00:08:41into Mobley and a foul.
00:08:44Forcing the issue,
00:08:45not getting a chance
00:08:46to set the defense.
00:08:48Pistons by 10.
00:08:49Mobley,
00:08:50second foul.
00:08:50You see right here,
00:08:52Asar setting that up screen.
00:08:53If they're going to play off of him,
00:08:55you get the ball
00:08:56and a dribble handoff
00:08:57to your shooters
00:08:57and let them rock.
00:08:58And then Tobias Harris
00:08:59getting on the board
00:09:01earlier with the transition layup.
00:09:03Feeling good.
00:09:04Capitalizing off
00:09:05of another
00:09:05James Harden turnover.
00:09:07He has six
00:09:09already
00:09:10tonight.
00:09:11He does, Ken.
00:09:12He's had six turnovers.
00:09:13And speaking to
00:09:16Coach Atkinson early,
00:09:18he talked about
00:09:18his,
00:09:19the way he coaches
00:09:20and he said
00:09:21he loves to let guys
00:09:22take risks.
00:09:23He said he's one of those coaches
00:09:24that do not
00:09:25get on guys
00:09:26about turnovers.
00:09:27He wants them
00:09:28to be aggressive.
00:09:28He wants them
00:09:29to be themselves.
00:09:30He puts the,
00:09:31the onus on them.
00:09:32And so right now,
00:09:33James Harden
00:09:34has to take the onus
00:09:34on himself.
00:09:35He has six turnovers.
00:09:37He's had a lot
00:09:37of high turnover games
00:09:38in this playoffs
00:09:40to understand
00:09:41the importance
00:09:41of each possession.
00:09:4410-point game.
00:09:4610-point game
00:09:46right now.
00:09:47Here is Harden
00:09:47in closeout games
00:09:48in his career.
00:09:50James Harden
00:09:51tonight
00:09:51is playing
00:09:52in his 186th
00:09:54career playoff game.
00:09:56That's 15th all time.
00:09:58But in closeout games,
00:10:00and that's what he's in
00:10:00right now,
00:10:01a 2-4 record.
00:10:04Harris will be
00:10:05at the line.
00:10:06The free throw shooting,
00:10:08Pistons 7 of 12.
00:10:09And the Cavs,
00:10:119 of 14.
00:10:13I think it's unfortunate,
00:10:15but also fortunately,
00:10:17James Harden
00:10:18will be talked about
00:10:20and discussed
00:10:21about what he does
00:10:22in this moment,
00:10:23in game six moments,
00:10:25and then hopefully
00:10:25possibly through
00:10:26the Pistons game
00:10:26seven moments.
00:10:28These are the moments
00:10:28that the greats
00:10:29have told to rise
00:10:30and be greater
00:10:31than everyone else.
00:10:32And so we want to
00:10:32see James rise
00:10:33to the level
00:10:34that we've seen
00:10:35James for so many years
00:10:36and other,
00:10:37and certain moments
00:10:38throughout his career.
00:10:4010-1 in this quarter.
00:10:42Detroit.
00:10:44Mobley on top.
00:10:47And Harris will defend.
00:10:50Evan Mobley
00:10:51fouled as he fires.
00:10:53And right there,
00:10:54you're seeing
00:10:56the way the Cavs
00:10:57are unlocking
00:10:58Evan Mobley,
00:10:59how they've done
00:10:59this season.
00:11:00You saw Donovan Mitchell
00:11:01set an on-ball screen
00:11:03for a handling Mobley
00:11:05to come off
00:11:06and make a play.
00:11:10Cleveland began
00:11:11the game
00:11:13at the line
00:11:146-6.
00:11:15They have gone
00:11:16since 4-9.
00:11:18Upcoming playoff
00:11:19schedule.
00:11:19Possibilities,
00:11:21Eastern Conference
00:11:22finals game one.
00:11:23Should the Cavs win,
00:11:24they'll play the Knicks
00:11:25at the Garden
00:11:26on ABC.
00:11:27or if a game 7
00:11:29is necessary,
00:11:31back in Detroit,
00:11:33Cavs and Pistons,
00:11:34that will be on prime.
00:11:36And a game 7
00:11:36if necessary,
00:11:37Minnesota,
00:11:38San Antonio
00:11:39on NBC.
00:11:41And Sunday,
00:11:42the possibilities
00:11:45in the playoffs.
00:11:47Asar Thompson.
00:11:51Cunningham's got 19.
00:11:53It's Thompson
00:11:54with the ball,
00:11:55Jenkins with the shot,
00:11:561-5,
00:11:57steers his way
00:11:58into the paint.
00:12:00The biggest lead
00:12:01for the Pistons
00:12:02tonight.
00:12:03And different guys
00:12:04are stepping up
00:12:05at different moments.
00:12:06We saw
00:12:06Karis LeBert
00:12:07had his moment.
00:12:08Duncan Robinson
00:12:08had his moment.
00:12:09Now Jenkins
00:12:10aggressive
00:12:11to start
00:12:11this second half.
00:12:13Here's Harden.
00:12:15He'll dawdle
00:12:15then drive
00:12:16and fire on Harris
00:12:17and a foul
00:12:18on Harris,
00:12:19number 4.
00:12:20He's picked up
00:12:21two quick ones
00:12:22here in the third.
00:12:22And the Cavs
00:12:24electing
00:12:24to play off
00:12:25of Asar Thompson.
00:12:26What does Asar Thompson
00:12:27do?
00:12:28He gives a dribble
00:12:29handoff
00:12:30and gets Jenkins
00:12:31going downhill.
00:12:32You gotta respect
00:12:33the jump shot,
00:12:34but right here,
00:12:36Jared Allen
00:12:37a little late
00:12:38on the contest.
00:12:41Jenkins is one
00:12:42of those players
00:12:43that you love
00:12:44to play with
00:12:44because he walks
00:12:46around with a chip
00:12:47on his shoulder.
00:12:48He's a guy
00:12:49that was overlooked
00:12:49possibly his entire life,
00:12:51but definitely
00:12:52when it came
00:12:52to the draft time
00:12:53and so he does
00:12:54not forget
00:12:55and he plays
00:12:56with that kind
00:12:56of force
00:12:57every time
00:12:58he has the ball
00:12:59and he has
00:12:59his opportunity.
00:13:00Harris will leave.
00:13:01Lavert is in.
00:13:03In a couple threes
00:13:05with eight points
00:13:06in his 13

00:13:23on Jared Allen
00:13:23clawing his way
00:13:24inside!
00:13:25And then Thompson
00:13:26parachutes him!
00:13:30Time out
00:13:31Cleveland.
00:13:34It was close
00:13:35at the half.

00:13:39it has expanded

00:14:20Points in the paint.
00:14:21Pistons
00:14:22are plus 14 points.
00:14:24Diving inside Allen.
00:14:25It's a rebound
00:14:27by Thompson.
00:14:28He's got seven boards
00:14:30filling every category.
00:14:32It's the Kareem
00:14:33Cunningham.
00:14:34Rebound inside.
00:14:36Out of bounds.
00:14:38It is off
00:14:39of Cleveland.
00:14:41And the Cavs
00:14:41have to find a way
00:14:42to stop the bleeding.
00:14:43The Pistons
00:14:45righting the wrong
00:14:46in this series.
00:14:47Starting off this quarter
00:14:4814-4 scoring
00:14:50in a third quarter.
00:14:51They have struggled
00:14:52out of the gate in
00:14:53time and time again.
00:14:55Just looking at
00:14:55the stat sheet,
00:14:56everybody who's
00:14:57touched this court
00:14:58for the Cleveland Cavaliers
00:14:59have a negative
00:15:00next two.
00:15:01They're plus minus.
00:15:02And we look at Detroit.
00:15:03There's only one player
00:15:04in Tobias Harris
00:15:04that has it.
00:15:05It's a negative one.
00:15:06And so,
00:15:06the impact
00:15:07that is being made
00:15:08from the Pistons
00:15:09from everybody
00:15:10who steps on their court
00:15:11has been shown.
00:15:12Here comes James Harden.
00:15:14Laverte in the way.
00:15:15They're gouging his way
00:15:17into that Piston defense
00:15:19and get the two.
00:15:20And I love that
00:15:21James Harden is okay
00:15:22taking that
00:15:23mid-range jump shot.
00:15:24If that's what
00:15:25Detroit is going to give you,
00:15:27he's got to take it
00:15:28to get things going
00:15:29on the offensive end.
00:15:30Cleveland have not scored
00:15:31from the floor
00:15:32in four and a half minutes.
00:15:34It's Laverte.
00:15:35The hesitation,
00:15:36the jam,
00:15:37the feed,
00:15:37shot clock at seven.
00:15:39Danis Jenkins
00:15:40setting into Harden.
00:15:43Rebound Mobley.
00:15:51Pitcher's got 13.
00:15:54Cunningham had it
00:15:55and ricochets away.
00:15:56It's off the Piston defense.
00:15:58And it's those moments
00:15:59that James Harden
00:16:01thrives in right here.
00:16:03He understands
00:16:04the Cavs
00:16:05got to get on the board.
00:16:06They got to get their
00:16:07offense going
00:16:08so they can set
00:16:08their defense.
00:16:14You've got to keep
00:16:15working the game,
00:16:16Ken,
00:16:16is yes,
00:16:17they're not playing
00:16:18well at Donnie Levin
00:16:18right now,
00:16:19but the Cavs
00:16:20cannot play hero
00:16:21basketball.
00:16:21Continue to keep
00:16:22playing together,
00:16:23moving the ball around.
00:16:25And Mitchell
00:16:25could not find
00:16:26the handle
00:16:27after he was open
00:16:29and free to fire.
00:16:30It's a turnover.
00:16:32It's another one
00:16:33for the Cavs.
00:16:3516 in the game.
00:16:36And the Cavs
00:16:37just look out of whack
00:16:38on the offensive end
00:16:39in terms of passing,
00:16:41cutting,
00:16:42things like that.
00:16:43They've got to get
00:16:43some fluidity
00:16:44to their offense
00:16:45and loosen things up.
00:16:46Cleveland has won
00:16:47three consecutive games
00:16:49in this series.
00:16:51Duren will twirl
00:16:52pry his way
00:16:54into the paint.
00:16:55It's retrieved
00:16:56by Harden.
00:16:58I don't mind
00:16:59that last turnover
00:17:00by the Cavs.
00:17:00that was executing
00:17:02unfortunately
00:17:04as Mowgli goes down.
00:17:07The other way
00:17:08and LeVert
00:17:09ahead for Thompson.
00:17:11He blew a tire,
00:17:13the ball out of bounds,
00:17:14a turnover
00:17:15for the Pistons.
00:17:18And both teams
00:17:20just not able
00:17:21to capitalize
00:17:21on what seems
00:17:23like some
00:17:24gimmies
00:17:24in transition.
00:17:27Those are passes
00:17:28that you want back.
00:17:30if you're Detroit
00:17:31and trying to extend
00:17:33this lead.
00:17:34Schroeder has come in
00:17:35for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
00:17:38Merrill has come in.
00:17:39Mitchell and Mobley
00:17:40are out.
00:17:43Jenkins on Schroeder.
00:17:52Allen, shot clock at seven.
00:17:55Spruce in the corner
00:17:56and three.
00:17:57Rebound Duren.
00:17:58He has played well tonight.
00:18:00Another rebound,
00:18:01seven of them.
00:18:05The way the Cavs
00:18:06get back in this game
00:18:06is not just on
00:18:07offensively floor.
00:18:08It's down on this end
00:18:09right here.
00:18:09This one will get
00:18:10the crowd back
00:18:11in this game
00:18:11as a couple
00:18:13of ball flops
00:18:14is something
00:18:14that's happening.
00:18:16Jordan holding
00:18:17on to his knee
00:18:17as well.
00:18:18Slow to get off
00:18:19the other lane.
00:18:20Spruce knocked away.
00:18:21Thompson erases.
00:18:22Are you kidding me?
00:18:23Thompson erases
00:18:24that shot.
00:18:25Are you kidding me?
00:18:27My goodness.
00:18:28From behind.
00:18:29King and Martin.
00:18:30That's what
00:18:31that reminds me of.
00:18:32That looks like
00:18:33King and Martin.
00:18:34Does he have
00:18:37something in his shoes?
00:18:38Watch how he jumps up
00:18:39and pauses.
00:18:41He could have
00:18:42grabbed it out of the air.
00:18:44Meanwhile,
00:18:46Duren has gone
00:18:47to the bench.
00:18:50And he was slow
00:18:51to get up.
00:18:52Staggered to the
00:18:53piston bench.
00:18:54They're looking at him.
00:18:56Paul Reed has come in.
00:18:58He has played
00:18:59a solid playoff
00:19:00so far.
00:19:02It's Merrill.
00:19:03Here's a whistle.
00:19:03They're getting tangled up.
00:19:06And Asar Thompson
00:19:07a vet move
00:19:09showing his hands
00:19:11for James Harden
00:19:12wanting to
00:19:14be in the fight
00:19:15with the arms
00:19:16but right here
00:19:16you see Duren
00:19:17going in
00:19:18rolling in his ankle.
00:19:20Oh my goodness.
00:19:24Robinson has come in.
00:19:25Thompson is checked out.
00:19:27Halfway through the third.
00:19:29Cleveland leads
00:19:30this series
00:19:30three games to two
00:19:31trying to close it out.
00:19:32Cutting at three.
00:19:35It's a rebound
00:19:37by Harden.
00:19:40He'll toggle his way
00:19:42down court.
00:19:44The bump into Levert
00:19:45and the foul
00:19:46on Paris Levert.
00:19:47his second penalty situation.
00:19:51That's what you want
00:19:51to see with James Harden.
00:19:52You like when he's
00:19:53playing downhill
00:19:54when he's in that
00:19:56aggressive attack.
00:19:57I'm going to score
00:19:58mindset
00:19:59and not in the
00:20:00passive mindset
00:20:01that has led to
00:20:02him having six turnovers
00:20:04seven turnovers
00:20:04now tonight.
00:20:05That's the
00:20:05James Harden
00:20:06that the Cavs need
00:20:07especially right now
00:20:08to get back in this game
00:20:09play downhill.
00:20:10Well you talk about
00:20:11the Cavs being in the
00:20:12bonus early.
00:20:13This should light up
00:20:14the paint.
00:20:15This should light up
00:20:16and unlock the drive.
00:20:17They should not settle.
00:20:19They can get to the
00:20:20free throw line
00:20:20if Detroit's not
00:20:22disciplined.
00:20:22That creeps in for Harden
00:20:24on June 5th.
00:20:25Masters of the Universe

00:20:57this young guy
00:20:57can get back in his game
00:20:59after that rode ankle.
00:21:00It's Schroeder

00:26:20and a foul
00:26:21with three and a half
00:26:22on the shot clock
00:26:23and 3-0-5
00:26:24in the third
00:26:26well just going back
00:26:28to this last
00:26:28drive by Merrill
00:26:30good ball movement
00:26:31by the Cleveland Cavaliers
00:26:33on this three ball
00:26:34right here
00:26:35to get him in rhythm
00:26:36and then right here
00:26:36on the drive
00:26:37Jared Allen
00:26:38doing a great job
00:26:39of silding Reed
00:26:40lead off and allow Merrill
00:26:41to get down the hill
00:26:42and get a layup
00:26:44sometimes when you get
00:26:45scored on
00:26:46at your position
00:26:47you want to come back
00:26:48and be aggressive
00:26:49at the other end
00:26:50you saw that Merrill
00:26:51got mad
00:26:51when Duncan Robinson
00:26:53scored
00:27:02in this lineup right here
00:27:04when James Harden
00:27:05goes to the bench
00:27:06and this is the
00:27:06Donovan Mitchell lineup
00:27:07this is the lineup
00:27:08early in the game
00:27:09where they didn't
00:27:10get much out of
00:27:11they had a lot
00:27:11of turnovers
00:27:12Donovan didn't have
00:27:13the ball in his hand
00:27:15as much as needed
00:27:16let's see how
00:27:16these minutes now
00:27:18as they close this
00:27:18quarter out
00:27:19with Don leading
00:27:20the charge
00:27:21let's see how
00:27:21these minutes are
00:27:22well there's no
00:27:22Asar Thompson
00:27:23on this defensive
00:27:25Pistons team
00:27:27so I expect the ball
00:27:28to be in Donovan
00:27:29Mitchell's hands
00:27:30oh yeah
00:27:30and for him to make
00:27:31plays
00:27:32Marcus Jasser is in
00:27:34with Lavert
00:27:35Cunningham
00:27:36Reed and Robinson
00:27:37the Pistons
00:27:38five
00:27:38when you got
00:27:40another guy
00:27:40that's balled
00:27:41down there
00:27:41like James
00:27:42and he takes you
00:27:42off the ball
00:27:43a lot of times
00:27:44these are the moments
00:27:45right here
00:27:45for like a Don
00:27:46where you excited
00:27:47to be able to be
00:27:48offensively aggressive
00:27:52it's out of bounds
00:27:53it's Cleveland's ball
00:27:55and Donovan Mitchell
00:27:56cannot settle
00:27:57for jump shots
00:27:58anytime he gets
00:27:59to the paint
00:27:59if he gets fouled
00:28:01regardless of
00:28:01on the shot
00:28:02or not
00:28:02he's going
00:28:03to the free throw
00:28:03line
00:28:04Cavs cannot settle
00:28:08Mowry free
00:28:09rebounds
00:28:11Kroos
00:28:12shooter free
00:28:14rebound
00:28:15Pistons
00:28:16and Lavert
00:28:20Kroos the other way
00:28:22and Cunningham
00:28:24on top
00:28:27K directed traffic
00:28:29trying to get
00:28:29the matchup
00:28:30that he won
00:28:30with Merrill
00:28:31he knows he can't
00:28:32guard on one-on-one
00:28:33he's going to barge
00:28:35his way into the paint
00:28:36he kicks it out
00:28:38it's a
00:28:38look at three
00:28:40rebound by Reed
00:28:41back to Robinson
00:28:42triple
00:28:43called
00:28:45big time
00:28:46triple
00:28:47and that's what
00:28:48Detroit missed
00:28:49in game five
00:28:50with Duncan Robinson
00:28:51out with injury
00:28:52is those baskets
00:28:54right there
00:28:56defense on Schroeder
00:28:57who's down
00:28:59and the whistle
00:29:02he'll get up
00:29:05so much credit
00:29:06goes to Reed
00:29:07kept the ball
00:29:09active and alive
00:29:10on that last
00:29:10possession
00:29:11that led
00:29:11to Duncan Robinson
00:29:13getting that three
00:29:14and then on the other
00:29:14end just being active
00:29:15as well
00:29:16just giving his team
00:29:17extra possessions
00:29:18we got a guy
00:29:19coming off the bench
00:29:20that's bringing this
00:29:20kind of energy
00:29:21to your team
00:29:22I think that's the
00:29:23reason why on the road
00:29:24you feel confident
00:29:25that you can get it
00:29:26up
00:29:26look at Reed
00:29:27hard to the hole
00:29:28and that's the
00:29:29activity that Detroit
00:29:30needs
00:29:31they move the ball
00:29:32your post player
00:29:33rolls and gets
00:29:34out of screens
00:29:35fast and good
00:29:36things happen
00:29:376-0 Pistons run

00:29:49off the Pistons
00:29:51Cleveland's ball
00:29:52well we talk about
00:29:53plus minus
00:29:53throw it around a lot
00:29:55but Paul Reed
00:29:56a plus 21
00:29:57on the court
00:29:57a lot of it
00:29:58has to do
00:29:58with those extra
00:30:00efforts
00:30:00the best time
00:30:01off of an
00:30:01offensive rebound
00:30:02is a three
00:30:03and then Paul Reed
00:30:03getting out of
00:30:04screens
00:30:04rolling
00:30:05and allowing
00:30:06your shooters

00:39:37James Harden
00:39:38to his right
00:39:38they don't want

00:39:39when he does
00:39:40obviously we know
00:39:41the history of that
00:39:42but going to his right

00:48:24by Jared Allen
00:48:25on that play
00:48:27but Asar Thompson
00:48:28has had his
00:48:30fingerprints
00:48:31all over this game
00:48:32from the standpoint
00:48:33of hustle plays
00:48:34extra possessions
00:48:36and just
00:48:37wreaking havoc

00:48:44and Asar Thompson
00:48:46is fouled
00:48:46out of the game
00:48:49I like that
00:48:50Asar went over
00:48:51to the sideline
00:48:51and the coach
00:48:52had the iPad
00:48:52to show him
00:48:53what he did wrong
00:48:55hopefully he takes that
00:48:56and understands that
00:48:57yes he can be aggressive
00:48:59but at certain moments
00:49:00where he has to
00:49:00not let up
00:49:01on aggression
00:49:02Candace
00:49:02but he has to be
00:49:03a little smart
00:49:04in these moments
00:49:04understanding how
00:49:05important he is
00:49:06especially to close
00:49:07without games

00:53:45for game
00:53:46seven

00:53:52our scene
00:53:53of game
00:53:54six
00:53:54with the
00:53:54NBA
00:53:55on prime
00:53:58they were ready
00:54:00after they had won
00:54:00three consecutive
00:54:02games
00:54:02the Cavaliers
00:54:04had strung
00:54:05together
00:54:05three straight wins
00:54:06after falling behind
00:54:08early in this series
00:54:09two games to none
00:54:10but again
00:54:11with the Pistons
00:54:12backs against the wall
00:54:14they have come out
00:54:15answered
00:54:15and answered
00:54:16on the road
00:54:17in a very tough
00:54:18environment
00:54:18well the Pistons
00:54:20were able to win
00:54:21crucial minutes
00:54:21they were able
00:54:23to close quarters
00:54:23they were able
00:54:25to get their
00:54:25main guys rest
00:54:26while their bench
00:54:28extended leads
00:54:29they didn't just
00:54:30stay in leads
00:54:31and I also want
00:54:32to talk about
00:54:32the contribution
00:54:34of Duncan Robinson
00:54:35coming in
00:54:35having a shooter
00:54:37on the floor
00:54:37makes everything easier
00:54:39and the paint
00:54:39is unlocked
00:54:40obviously
00:54:41beyond the arc
00:54:42was unlocked
00:54:42with him being
00:54:43on the court
00:54:44but gosh
00:54:44it was a top to bottom
00:54:46effort for the Pistons
00:54:46it was
00:54:47and listen
00:54:48losing is never fun
00:54:49but your body language
00:54:51towards each other
00:54:52will tell you a lot
00:54:53this Cleveland Cavaliers
00:54:54team has to do
00:54:55one thing right now
00:54:56let's stay connected
00:54:58the loss today
00:54:59will have no impact
00:55:00on game 7
00:55:02if they have habits
00:55:03that they can fall back on
00:55:05throughout the year
00:55:06and so right now
00:55:07you're already preparing
00:55:08for what you need to do
00:55:10and what you have to bring
00:55:11when it comes to
00:55:13going to Detroit
00:55:14and coming out of there
00:55:15in a tough environment
00:55:16to win a ball game
00:55:17Keon Ellis is in the game
00:55:19with Thomas Bryant
00:55:20they've also got
00:55:21Tyrese Proctor
00:55:23Craig Porter
00:55:25all in there
00:55:26right now
00:55:26for
00:55:27the Cleveland Cavaliers
00:55:31Kevin the noise
00:55:32the noise
00:55:33will be loud
00:55:34around the Cleveland Cavaliers
00:55:35when it comes
00:55:36to the voices
00:55:37that will talk about
00:55:38the game of basketball
00:55:39it will be loud
00:55:39talking about Donovan
00:55:40going 6 for 20
00:55:42and James going
00:55:436 for 13
00:55:44with 8 turnovers
00:55:45the noise will be loud
00:55:45you have to put
00:55:46your blue blockers on
00:55:47you have to put
00:55:49you have to put
00:55:50something in your ears
00:55:50and don't listen
00:55:51to any of that
00:55:52only thing that matters
00:55:54is those individuals
00:55:55that's in that locker room
00:55:56and your family
00:55:57is the only thing
00:55:57that's going to get you
00:55:58through this
00:55:59and get you to the place
00:56:00where you feel good
00:56:01to come out
00:56:02to try to go
00:56:02and get a win
00:56:03in the hospital
00:56:04surviving in Detroit
00:56:06the Cavs have only won
00:56:07one game on the road
00:56:09in the playoffs
00:56:10lead 3
00:56:12which ties this
00:56:14one up
00:56:14and a pretty bow
00:56:15for the Pistons
00:56:16I agree D-Wade
00:56:18but I think that
00:56:19there's got to be
00:56:19some accountability
00:56:20right
00:56:21like you have to
00:56:21look yourself in the mirror
00:56:22and understand
00:56:23that there were
00:56:23so many plays
00:56:25where it was a 50-50 ball
00:56:27and Detroit
00:56:28came up with the ball
00:56:29those are things
00:56:30in a game 7 scenario
00:56:31or in a closeout game scenario
00:56:33that you have to win
00:56:35and as leaders of this team
00:56:37James Harden
00:56:38and Donovan Mitchell
00:56:39have to set the tone
00:56:40whether it's the extra effort
00:56:42whether it's
00:56:43fighting over screens
00:56:44and showing that effort
00:56:45on the defensive end
00:56:46to be able to come out on top
00:56:48in a hostile Detroit arena
00:56:51Chaz Lanier is checked in
00:56:53and never said
00:56:54it was going to be easy
00:56:55to be able to reach
00:56:57their dreams
00:56:57and the dream for this team
00:56:58is to obviously
00:56:59get to the
00:57:00Eastern Conference Finals
00:57:01and move on to the Finals
00:57:02don't want to say
00:57:02it was going to be easy
00:57:03and so here it goes
00:57:04like you said
00:57:05you do got to
00:57:06take accountability
00:57:07collectively
00:57:08and individually
00:57:09but it don't
00:57:10suppose to be easy
00:57:11and you're trying
00:57:11to accomplish something
00:57:12that everybody
00:57:13in this league
00:57:14wants to accomplish
00:57:15it's going to be hard
00:57:16and you have to now
00:57:17go on the road
00:57:17and you got to
00:57:18look at yourself
00:57:19and see if you are
00:57:20who you say you are
00:57:22how about the center
00:57:23position tonight
00:57:24for the Pistons
00:57:25between
00:57:26Reed and his 17 points
00:57:28and Duren
00:57:29and his 15
00:57:29a combined
00:57:3032 points
00:57:33and they had
00:57:34a combined
00:57:3417 rebounds
00:57:36the center position
00:57:37held him steady
00:57:40Reed's 17
00:57:41a new playoff
00:57:42career high
00:57:43in his 45th
00:57:46playoff game
00:57:47Cade Cunningham
00:57:49struggled in the
00:57:50second half
00:57:50but he does finish
00:57:52with 21
00:57:55and Naquan Tomlin
00:57:57is at the line
00:57:58well you think
00:57:59about the efficiency
00:57:59as well
00:58:00year two
00:58:01and Reed and Duren
00:58:03who have split minutes
00:58:04at times
00:58:05played together
00:58:06but 14 of 19
00:58:09from the field
00:58:10they made things
00:58:11easy
00:58:12they've gotten
00:58:12out of screens
00:58:13they were aggressive
00:58:14and that unlocked
00:58:16Detroit's half court
00:58:17offense
00:58:18I agree
00:58:18and Cade
00:58:19obviously
00:58:19as we look at it
00:58:20now he's 7 for 19
00:58:21but you're looking
00:58:22at the entire team
00:58:23Cade did not need
00:58:24to have his best
00:58:25performance tonight
00:58:26but what he did do
00:58:27is he did start
00:58:28the game
00:58:28and lead this team
00:58:29early on
00:58:30with his offense
00:58:31in the beginning
00:58:31of this game
00:58:32and then from there
00:58:33the confidence
00:58:34that his teammates
00:58:35had
00:58:35they knew
00:58:35that their star
00:58:36was in the building
00:58:37with them tonight
00:58:37and they went out
00:58:38and they finished it
00:58:40the Pistons shot 52%
00:58:42from the floor
00:58:43and they were plus 12
00:58:45in three point shooting
00:58:48they had eight more
00:58:50points off turnovers
00:58:51they had seven more
00:58:52second chance points
00:58:54and now we got a little
00:58:55shoving here on the side
