00:00Another turn-over, Ananobi, Brunson, alley-oop, and Ananobi with the slam!
00:06And we talked about calling the first timeout.
00:08Cavs called the first timeout in this second half, and this is how the Knicks respond.
00:14Transition, dunks, extra effort, look, lack of communication.
00:17Here's a good contest, and then you see Carl Anthony Towns with the left.
00:23This is the best Knicks team that I've seen since my time in the league.
00:27Well-balanced, well-coached, but still trailing.
00:32Brunson, banks it home again!
00:34I mean, look where this ball hits up on the glass as Brunson comes in a little jump stop.
00:40Harden doesn't really bite on it, but that ball hits basically that top.
00:45Mitchell against McBride, knocked away by Carl Anthony Towns.
00:50Alvarado tries a three.
00:52Towns on the flush!
00:55It's another Knick avalanche!
00:57We've seen what this team is able to do in a closeout.
01:00They beat them by 50 points.
01:02So for this team to come out here...
01:05Picks it back out to Hart.
01:06Shot clock at five.
01:09Hart on the drive.
01:10Spin move, falling away.
01:11One-handed shot is good!
01:13Everything going down tonight for Josh Hart.
01:16Don't see it that often from James Harden.
01:18That was their first three of the second quarter.
01:20They were 0 for 8.
01:22Harden has bounced back nicely.
01:23He's got 8 points.
01:24Josh Hart.
01:26Spin the wall!
01:27Oh, what a spin from Hart!
01:30Knicks were down by 22 with 7.5 to play.
01:35And an Obie.
01:37Floats it over to Shamit.
01:38Shamit a three-pointer.
01:40It's good!
01:41Tie game with 40!
01:43A couple of offensive boards and it's back to 7.
01:46There's Brunson.
01:47The floater is up.
01:48Robinson throws it down.
01:51That one was close to being above the cylinder.
01:54And the third quarter comes to an end.
01:5691-82.
01:58This presentation of the Eastern Conference Finals presented by Duncan on ABC.
02:05Guys might want to time out if he scores.
02:09Brunson, three-pointer.
02:10Clutch it in!
02:13Captain Clutch has come alive!
02:15An additional defender and he caps it off with this three, which for me...
02:22Harden looking across court.
02:25Wade, his first shot of the night.
02:27Towns the rebound.
02:28Knicks look to push again.
02:29Beautiful pass.
02:31Harden, Ananobi gathers and throws it down!
02:34Now watch OG Ananobi.
02:36He just out-sprinted the entire Cavs team.
02:39He was deep in the corner.
02:40See the Knicks a little bit stagnant here.
02:43Brunson finds Bridges.
02:45Bridges with 5 on the 24.
02:47Looking double-team.
02:48Shot clock winding down.
02:49Bridges falling away.
02:51He's up.
02:51That's good!
02:52Mikael Bridges, if anything, sums up Mikael Bridges' role.
02:57It's this right here.
02:58End of the clock.
03:00Done everything you can defensively.
03:02And he just goes to this.
03:04Now he does like the lean-back jumper, but this was a little bit extreme.
03:08Barrels on him.
03:09Brunson gets inside.
03:10Kicks it out in the corner to Bridges.
03:12Shot clock at 4.
03:13Bridges looking.
03:14Shot clock at 1.
03:15Bridges puts up a 3.
03:16Puts it in!
03:17It's back to a 4-point game.
03:20A 22-4 run.
03:22And Atkinson said that Donovan has not said anything to him.
03:26But he said, I am seeing the same thing.
03:29Thank you, Lisa.
03:30Brunson, long three-pointer.
03:32He has not had many clean looks.
03:37Brunson cross-court.
03:39Schammett puts it up.
03:40Puts it in!
03:41A 9-point lead.
03:43Timeout Cavs!
03:44And Landry Schammett.
03:46Nine big points off the bench, but none bigger than that 3-point shot.
03:53Bridges gets past Harden.
03:55Finds Hart.
03:56Back up top.
03:57And an Obie.
03:58Sidestep.
03:583-pointer straight on.
03:59It's good.
04:01His first 3-pointer.
04:02Knicks back up 5.
04:04Maynard Brunson, 1-4 to start.
04:06He's had a couple of slow starts.
04:08As Towns fires up another 3 and hits another 3.
04:11Plenty of time.
04:12Is there enough defensively to get it done?
04:14And this is the time of the game where Jalen Brunson's going to go to work.
04:19He gets his basketball back.
04:20He's going to want a clear out or a screen to try to get a switch.
04:24Shot clock winding down.
04:26Brunson rips it to Schammett.
04:27Open 3 in the corner.
04:28Puts it in.
04:29Puts it in.
04:31And again, you see this baseline drive, baseline drive, and Schammett.
04:35He has a beautiful, beautiful.
04:36They're running their offense out at half court.
04:39That's how much the Knick defense is pressuring and pushing them out.
04:42Bridges, Robinson.
04:44Mitchell Robinson's come off the bench and made a huge impact already.
04:48And Mitchell Robinson, he's come in the game.
04:50He's had a steal.
04:52He's helped elevate this offense.
04:54But then that lob threat.
04:55Carl Anthony Towns isn't as much of a lob threat.
04:58But we know Mitchell Robinson is.
04:59And that's going to pull in the defense.
05:02Shot clock at 7.
05:04Brunson to Schammett.
05:055 on the 24.
05:07Tries another one.
05:08Hits another one.
05:09Landry shoved it on fire.
05:11He loves that perfect reload going to his left.
05:13He's missed a number of those in this series.
05:15As again, Mitchell Robinson, same action.
05:18Caps 5 for 14.
05:20Knicks already getting the best of both worlds.
05:23We've seen the perimeter.
05:24Picks up Brunson.
05:25Brunson brilliant in that fourth quarter.
05:29Drives, gets past Harden, gets inside.
05:31The floater is up and good.
05:33Jalen Brunson once again.
05:35And it's a four-point nick lead.
05:37They're hunting out what they want on that offensive end.
05:41Brunson leading the way with 38.
05:45Schroes trying to pressure some contact.
05:47Hart races up the floor.
05:49Kicks it out Alvarado.
05:50Off the bounce.
05:51Floater is good.
05:53Jose Alvarado, New York City native, acquired midseason.
05:57Schroeder's going to try a three.
05:59Can't get it to fall.
06:04This awful three-point shooting from both teams.
06:06A spin move from Hart and the banker.
06:12Hart looking for Towns.
06:14Tyson on him, but again, Mobley in the vicinity.
06:17Hart fakes.
06:18Hart drives.
06:19This goes reverse.
06:20A little English off the glass.
06:21And see, look, that hesitation right there.
06:24Because they don't want to leave Josh Hart after he hit the amount of threes coming off a career playoff
06:30high.
06:31Now Mobley goes for the bite.
06:33And then Josh Hart does a great job using the other side of the rim to finish.
06:37Those fingertips are almost good.
06:39That swing over creates a two-on-one.
06:41It's not even a true advantage.
06:42It's just moving the basketball side-to-side created that advantage.
06:46Towns has Harden on him.
06:47Takes him off the dribble.
06:48Goes right at Allen.
06:49Layup is good as he crashes to the floor.
06:51What I'm talking about right here.
06:53That's his sweet spot.
06:55Aggressive around the shot blocker.
06:58Towns has Harden on him.
06:59Mobley looking to help.
07:01Mobley gets into the paint.
07:03Towns looking.
07:04Turns.
07:05Off one foot.
07:06Gets it to go.
07:07Harden in game one.
07:08Out of the perimeter against certain guards.
07:09Difficult.
07:10He's very strong down there.
07:12Does not give any ground.
07:13But with nothing else there for Carl Anthony Towns.
07:16Landry Shammett getting some early action here in the first.
07:21Brunson drives on Struess.
07:23Towns very offensive-oriented.
07:25Looking for a shot.
07:26Sidestep.
07:27Lambie banks it home.
07:28He's in double figures now.
07:31Carl Anthony Towns off to a great start.
07:33Very aggressive.
07:34Nice patience right there to go around.
07:37They are not necessarily like a great transition team.
07:40But they have been getting the ball out quick.
07:42And now Landry Shammett showing the entire bag.
07:45You want to close out to me?
07:46Landry Shammett didn't even know what his role would be in this series coming into it.
07:51He created a role for him.
07:56Brunson fakes.
07:57Drives.
07:57Gets inside.
07:58Lambie banks it home.
07:59And this is the largest lead of the game.
08:02Again, they're showing a crowd.
08:04He wants to get to that left hand.
08:07And that's just a tough shot.
08:08You've got to give credit to the offensive team.
08:10You've got to give credit to the offensive players.
08:12I don't know if he made defensive, all defensive second team.
08:15But it's his offense that has really skyrocketed this year.
08:18Knicks, by the way, kept saying he was robbed.
08:20He should have been on the first team.
08:21Shammett with the steal.
08:22Shammett feeds on Anobi with the flush.
08:27The New York Knicks defensive pressure has been a huge story in this series.
08:32Once again, out on the run.
08:35Lawrence taking just two shots already in nine minutes.
08:38Drives on Brunson.
08:39Gets inside.
08:40Blocked by Robinson.
08:41Out to Tyson.
08:42Merrill tries a three-pointer.
08:44That misses.
08:45Ball knocked loose.
08:46Tyson trying to hustle.
08:47This attack from James Harden.
08:48You get the smaller defender on you.
08:50You go up, and that is just an impressive block.
08:53That's that backline defense that Brunson does a good job of not fouling.
08:58Knicks, meanwhile, excellent on the road in the playoffs.
09:01They are four and one.
09:03Carl Anthony Towns.
09:05His first shot goes down a three-pointer.
09:07Brunson and Mitchell.
09:08There comes the double team.
09:10Brunson looking.
09:10Finds Clarkson.
09:11Shot clock at four.
09:12Back to Brunson.
09:13On the drive.
09:15Throws it up.
09:15And Robinson with the flush.
09:17That trap moves the basketball.
09:19But then the Cavs allow him to get it back, where he can now turn the corner, get into the
09:24lane.
09:25Really puts Evan Mobley in a tough spot.
09:27He wants to step up.
09:28With another floater.
09:29That's what he killed the Cavaliers with down the stretch of the game.
09:33Ananobi.
09:34Cross court to Towns.
09:36Towns a three-pointer.
09:37And a hot start.
09:38Back to back buckets and a steal.
09:40And it's five-nothings.
09:44Brunson drives on hard.
09:45He kicks it out.
09:45Ananobi fakes.
09:47Ananobi drives.
09:48Goes inside.
09:48Stops.
09:49Banks at home.
09:50And then you're getting contributions.
09:53OG being aggressive.
09:56Starting to look like his normal self.
09:59And you're always going to need somebody to show.
10:01Gracias.
