GamingTranscript
01:34And it's Kaminga in at the small forward position.
01:37With the playoffs on the horizon, Richard, we're seeing some of the top teams rest their players a little bit.
01:43Yeah, you want to prevent injury, but you also want your go-to guy to have some fresh legs. Limit
01:49their minutes now. It'll pay dividends in the postseason.
01:52Now, here's Mitchell. The shot goes in. First shot, first basket.
01:57Look at that grittiness of Mitchell. He hits resistance inside and still gets through it.
02:04Back to Butler. Curry passes to MP. Into the lane. Takes the three. And the Warriors get it back. And
02:18Green gets it to go.
02:19Well, his hard work on the backboard really just has given them more opportunities to score.
02:25And now, let's send it over to our courtside reporter, Ali LaForce.
02:29Steve Kerr gave me a few minutes to catch up with him. We discussed Evan Mobley and how we wanted
02:34to defend him coming into this matchup.
02:36He said, quote, to make him settle for jumpers, we don't want him getting easy buckets or deep inside positioning.
02:42That's when you get into trouble. We'll see how good the resilience is against him tonight. Back to you guys.
02:47We appreciate it, Ali. Thank you.
02:51The Warriors have gone two or three here to start off the game. Here's Green. Count that one. Green's got
02:57his second basket of the game.
02:59Nobody has ever accused Draymond of playing soft. He goes right into the contact and still manages to convert the
03:05chance.
03:09Hunter against Kaminga. Out of bounds. Golden State takes possession.
03:18Here's Curry. They just worked San Antonio in that last game.
03:26Shing in the post. Covered by Mitchell. Here's Kaminga.
03:31Whistle blows. Basket is good. So a chance here for a three-point play.
03:35And once he got to the ten, I think he was surprised to find himself that wide open.
03:41Easy possessions like that literally are just a gift. You just dream of them. He'll gladly take those.
03:48That one misses for Kaminga.
03:51Cleveland's gone 0-2 from deep here. So timeout called here. The first for Cleveland.
03:56When you think about what makes Evan Mobley such a special talent, Richard, what comes to mind for you?
04:01Well, his defense is already outstanding for a player his age.
04:05I can see him being a Defensive Player of the Year candidate for many years to come.
04:09He is the anchor on this team.
04:33To the inside. Mitchell. That's good. And it's Garland with the assist.
04:37Whatever he lacks in size, Mitchell makes up with craftiness. It allows him to be effective inside.
04:44To the middle. Here's Green. Jared Allen grabs the miss.
04:50And he's usually able to score on that type of defense rather easily. Surprising to see him come away empty.
04:56And smothered him on that mid-range attempt.
04:59And that's how you play it. Does a good job of getting into the shooter's airspace.
05:04An assertive penetrator. Love watching Butler use that athleticism to drive and finish inside.
05:11First quarter of ball. Almost two and a half minutes in.
05:16Hunter on the wing.
05:23Nice defense from Kamingo.
05:26And here's Golden State.
05:28They've gone on a 10-2 run. Not allowing much.
05:31And it's sent back by Allen.
05:33Get that weak stuff out of here.
05:36No chance. He tries to challenge Allen again at the rim.
05:38You gotta love his hustle.
05:40Leaving the defense. No time to react.
05:43And all of a sudden, that man was just on the other end.
05:46Wow.
05:47Now, here's Schenk.
05:49Currently averaging almost six points a game.
05:52Butler, no good.
05:53And not allowing the shooter even an inch of breathing room on that one.
05:58I'm sure they'll think twice about shooting against him next time.
06:01His accuracy is on another level this quarter.
06:04Really high-quality shooting.
06:07Curry kicks to MP.
06:10Back to Curry.
06:14Pass to Schenk.
06:18Six on the shot clock.
06:21Golden State needs to get off the shot.
06:23And again, it's the Warriors missing.
06:27Loads it up there for Mobley.
06:29An emphatic alley-oop jam.
06:32It must be nice to have a seven-footer like Mobley.
06:35You can just throw pretty much anything out there, and he'll go get it.
06:39MP dishes to Curry.
06:43Back to Schenk.
06:46Outside Curry.
06:52And again, it's the Warriors missing.
06:55And here's Hunter.
06:57He'll bring it up for Cleveland.
06:58Last time they met in Cleveland.
07:00Yeah, for that loss, you can credit their defense, or lack thereof.
07:05Too many breakdowns on that end of the floor.
07:07Some of it was solid shooting from their opponent, but they didn't have any teeth with their defense.
07:13Need to be more active than they were.
07:15Pick works well there.
07:16Not much resistance from the deep.
07:19Yeah, that just comes down to a lack of effort.
07:21The defender has to do a better job fighting through the screen.
07:24And he's not going to miss that sort of an opportunity from deep.
07:28And the Warriors decide to take their first time out here.
07:31Their last game, a win against San Antonio.
07:34Looking to carry that into this one.
07:36They shot the lights out from deep.
07:38Really stretched out the defense in that one.
07:41Tough to keep the consistency from deep, but they did it last time.
07:45A chance now to check out the race for Rookie of the Year.
07:49Always exciting to see the promise of the youngsters.
07:51A season under the belts.
07:53Who took the league by storm?
07:55You look at MP all season long.
07:58He has proven again and again that he is the cream of the crop.
08:01He's in the top spot right now, and the hardware could be his.
08:05And there's no more deserving candidate.
08:07Any other outcome than him lifting that Rookie of the Year trophy.
08:11And I'd be shocked.
08:12Yeah, at this point, he has separated himself from the pack.
08:16I don't know what more he could have done this year.
08:18It's been one amazing performance after another.
08:21And Mitchell gets it to go.
08:24Just focusing on the task at hand.
08:27That's all you can do.
08:28Yeah, when the game is up for grabs like this one has been,
08:31it's all about the attention to detail.
08:34Now, here's Sheen.
08:38Still scoreless.
08:41Well, they're passing to MP.
08:47And wrestling for it there, but no one has possession.
08:50We'll have a jump ball.
08:59And it's the Cavaliers with the ball.
09:01And here's Cleveland.
09:03They're on a 15-6 run.
09:05And joining us now by phone is insider Shams Charania with some news.
09:11Shams, give it to us.
09:12Thanks, guys.
09:13Well, it's been a remarkable comeback story for Lonzo Ball.
09:16He became the first player ever to undergo cartilage replacement surgery on his left knee.
09:22Now, with a rollout of winning team in Cleveland,
09:25this is a great situation for a player whose IQ for the game is as good as ever.
09:30A cagey veteran.
09:32Okay, thank you, Shams.
09:34Just five on the clock.
09:36Kaminga finds Curry.
09:38Steps back and shoots.
09:39No good on the shot.
09:40Usually, he's a master in the middie, but not that time.
09:45Here's Hunter.
09:46Sinks that one from the post.
09:48Hunter's got his second bucket of the night.
09:50With a number of moves and shots to choose from, Hunter is scary.
09:56Nice bucket there.
09:59Here's Butler.
10:00Mobley with the block.
10:05Kaminga against Hunter.
10:07That one misses.
10:09Nice defense from Kaminga.
10:14MP against Mobley.
10:16They get the rebound.
10:18Outside, Kaminga.
10:23And here's Shing.
10:24No scoring in this one.
10:28Here's Butler.
10:29And it's sent back by Allen.
10:32Allen with the range and the length to block shots anywhere on the floor.
10:36Oh, he just punches that one down with a fury.
10:39And he rubs it in a little deeper with the hanging finish.
10:42Now a timeout called by Golden State.
10:45When it comes to DeAndre Hunter, how would you prepare for him, Richard,
10:49if you were coaching against him?
10:51Well, Hunter's wingspan will really wake you up on defense,
10:54but it's his catch-and-shoot game that everyone needs to...
11:00And what do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for the Cavaliers?
11:03Well, so far, their long-range shooting has been the story.
11:08Doing damage from deep.
11:10And also, guys, they're out-muscling their opponent.
11:12The points in the paint are piling up because of that aggressiveness.
11:16Butler is the four, and Green operates as the small ball center.
11:20Curry is out there with MP.
11:22And it's Moody in at the three spot.
11:25That's the group for the Golden State Warriors to start the second quarter.
11:29The wide-open look here for Garland.
11:31Good on the three-point shot.
11:33Garland's got six.
11:35A consistent threat from outside.
11:37Garland looks to fire whenever he can get open from there.
11:40Stolen by Mitchell.
11:42One-on-one here.
11:43Here's Hunter.
11:44And a lot of contact on that one, so he'll shoot two here.
11:47They get Stephen Curry.
11:48The Cavaliers shooting their seventh and eighth attempts at the foul line tonight.
11:52First free throw is good.
11:53And when it comes to team-building, G.A.,
11:56there's been a debate about whether the two-star or three-star approach is more effective.
12:01Kevin, for me, I think it comes down to fit more than anything.
12:05It doesn't matter how many stars you have if they don't mesh.
12:08And if they're not comfortable in the role that's carved out for them on that respective team.
12:17Lock at six.
12:20MP kicks to Curry.
12:22Releases.
12:23Good.
12:24And it's MP picking up the assist.
12:28MP's got his fourth assist with that last one here tonight.
12:31And now let's swing it over to Allie LaForce on the sideline.
12:35Thanks.
12:35Well, MP in their last game against the Spurs ended up having a lot of troubles.
12:39He picked up a few points.
12:41And plus, he nabbed a couple boards.
12:42He could never get into a rhythm shooting the ball.
12:45He'll try to get back on track tonight.
12:47Back to you.
12:48Good work as always, Allie.
12:50We thank you.
12:51And you know, even the best players have weak games, guys.
12:55And I think we saw that pretty clearly.
12:57Yeah, and the question now becomes, you know, can you bounce back?
13:00Will he be able to put that game behind him?
13:02And I don't expect him to dwell on the pass of anything.
13:05He'll use that performance as motivation for tonight's game.
13:12MP dishes to Butler.
13:14Pass to Shing.
13:17And Curry has it in the corner.
13:21And the three off target.
13:23And the great shooters know when they've got enough opening to go for the three.
13:28I didn't think it was a bad choice on that position.
13:30And Mobley throws it down.
13:33What an elite athlete Mobley is getting off the ground effortlessly for the throwdown.
13:40MP passes to Curry.
13:42Good, another from three.
13:45And all season long, he's been nothing but money from beyond the arc.
13:50You're right.
13:50He's been nothing short of amazing for him as he edges closer to third most three-pointers in a single
13:57season.
13:58Timeout called Cleveland.
14:00They couldn't put the pieces together, losing the last matchup with the Lakers.
14:04Yeah, I mean, on the road, their defense was just overrun.
14:09Couldn't match the intensity of the opponent.
14:12And it cost them.
14:13Yeah, if you allow a team to shoot such a high percentage in their own building,
14:18you're going to have a big hill to climb.
14:22Allen finds Hunter.
14:26And it goes down two points.
14:28And they're forcing the ball inside, and it's working like a charm.
14:34Curry passes to MP.
14:37Back to Curry.
14:41Curry on the wing.
14:43Pass to Moody.
14:46Here's Scheng.
14:48And he banks in the layup.
14:49And they've repeatedly throwed inside in the first half, guys.
14:54And it's paid off.
14:55The Cavaliers leading by 13.
14:58Now here's Allen.
15:02Here's Hunter.
15:03And that one clearly a foul.
15:05Gets the whistle and two shots coming up.
15:07Now a look at the stats for Jimmy Butler.
15:10He's gone two for two at the line so far.
15:21The free throw drops for Hunter.
15:22And they have yet to miss a shot from the line here this quarter.
15:34And both free throws good for Hunter.
15:36And when players get into a little extracurricular conversation with opponents,
15:41RJ, do you think officials are a little too quick to hit them with a double tee?
15:45No, that's just officials trying to get control of the game,
15:49giving both players a warning.
15:50That's all a technical is, is a warning, because we don't have both players have been warned.
15:56We have both players have technicals.
16:01Garland, that's for two.
16:03Got it.
16:03And he's now three for five from the field.
16:07Here's Curry.
16:09Nine points in the game so far.
16:11Pass to Scheng.
16:15And here is Butler.
16:19Moody, the pass to MP.
16:25Back to Moody.
16:28Shoots the three.
16:31It's rebounded by Cleveland.
16:33Mobley's got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight.
16:36Allen trying to break free.
16:37And Mitchell gets it to go.
16:40And he's made his mark on offense especially.
16:43They've got to be thankful he's on their squad.
16:48MP kicks to Butler.
16:51Down low.
16:55Green dishes to MP.
16:58Outside Curry.
17:00Over Garland.
17:02No good off the back of the rim.
17:05It's Garland with the ball for the Cavaliers.
17:07Here's Mitchell.
17:08That drops and it comes off an assist from Garland.
17:12Garland's got his eighth assist in the game.
17:15Timeout called the Warriors.
17:18Things not going their way.
17:19And he wants to just try to talk this one over.
17:22Good timeout if you ask me.
17:24They have the momentum.
17:26And Coach wants to find...
17:39And so a pretty lopsided game through the first half.
17:43Cavaliers on top.
17:44They lead by 18.
17:46It's the NBA on 2K Sports from San Francisco.
18:07Well, we've got a second half of basketball for you.
18:09We think it's going to be pretty good.
18:11A big comeback, though, is needed for this game to be competitive.
18:13And it probably has to happen quickly.
18:16It's been one outstanding game from Donovan Mitchell.
18:19You just love the patience in that first half.
18:22Waited until he got the look that he wanted.
18:25You love guys who can get their shots within the flow of the offense.
18:29Checking out the group for Kenny Atkinson to start the second half.
18:33The big men on the floor for him, Mobley and Allen.
18:36The highly skilled guard pair of Garland and Mitchell.
18:39And it's Hunter in it, the three, the small forward.
18:42And that one's good, Mitchell.
18:44Mitchell, everyone knows Mitchell wants to take it to that basket.
18:47So the pull-up is so effective.
18:52MP passes to Butler.
18:58Kicks it out to MP.
19:01Back to Butler.
19:05Here's the three.
19:08Cavaliers with the rebound.
19:09And the well is running dry for him right now.
19:13Nothing falling.
19:14Yeah, and the risk now is that he gets inside his own head.
19:18Time to take deep breaths in through the nose, out through the mouth, and let the game come to you.
19:23Making it look so easy.
19:26The 6'11", Allen, just hops up and finishes it perfectly.
19:29Curry.
19:30Good.
19:31And it's MP picking up the assist.
19:34MP's got assist number seven for him tonight.
19:37The Cavaliers leading by 19 points.
19:40Mitchell, this is to Garland.
19:47Pass to Hunter from outside the arc.
19:50Cleveland with a fresh shot clock.
19:53Second shot opportunity.
19:54And Mitchell with the layup.
19:56Mitchell's got 24 points.
19:58A nice start to the second half.
20:00They've made three out of their first four shots coming out of the break.
20:03Butler finds MP.
20:12Back to Butler.
20:15Over Mitchell.
20:17That one wide left.
20:19Well, some trips you get the shot you want, it just doesn't fall.
20:22I'd go back to him in that area on the floor.
20:25Just no chance there for the defense.
20:27Major size disadvantage.
20:29He's got no business trying to stop that slam.
20:32Just get out of the way.
20:33Time out called the Warriors.
20:35So, Richard, let's give him some credit.
20:37Jared Allen has turned himself into a more complete player, wouldn't you say?
20:41Yeah, he's not just a floor spacer, but he does everything else at an elite level.
20:46Very efficient.
20:47Doesn't make a ton of mistakes that will beat you.
20:50And let's quickly check in on the season's top rookie rebounders so far.
20:55You look at MP.
20:57A terrific rebounder.
20:58Fifth overall.
20:59And, you know, rebounding was a skill that I thought would translate to the NBA for him.
21:05We knew he could board with the best of them, and he has not disappointed.
21:11Back to Curry.
21:14Pass to Jing.
21:19Over in the corner, Kaminga.
21:22Green breaking loose.
21:24And one step ahead of the defense with that solid screen.
21:28And then, Greg, the monster dunk to finish it off.
21:32Oh, great chemistry on display.
21:34He understood where to put the screen in order to free up his teammate.
21:38And they call the foul, so a chance at the line for one more coming up.
21:42So we'll see Darius Garland go to the free throw line here.
21:46They get Stephen Curry.
21:48And, G.A., you think about high-skill-level offensive players.
21:52Darius Garland near the very top of that list.
21:54Well, the son of an NBA point guard in Winston Garland,
21:58Darius has been preparing for this level his entire life.
22:02And his offensive package is as polished as anyone.
22:10Darius Garland feeling it out a little bit.
22:12Mitchell wide open.
22:14Hits it from three-point range.
22:16Mitchell's got eight points in the quarter.
22:18And really, as the three-pointers keep dropping,
22:21you get the sense that the frustration is mounting for the defense.
22:26We're now joined by our sideline reporter, Allie LaForce.
22:29Allie, it's all yours.
22:30Hey, guys.
22:32Jared Allen has an inquisitive nature.
22:34Whether it's cooking, gardening, reading, or basketball, he's a sponge.
22:38Allen said, quote,
22:39I love going through life, seeing things and learning about it, no matter what it is.
22:43It's just trying to improve my skill set in anything and enjoy it.
22:47Back to you.
22:48He's got that curiosity.
22:50Allie, as always, we appreciate your reporting.
22:53Allen's shot is off.
22:54Yeah, and that was lining up to be a huge alley-oop, but they just couldn't quite connect.
23:00Just go to show how tight your timing needs to be on this kind of play.
23:05And again, it's the Warriors missing.
23:08An even three-on-three break.
23:09And Mitchell launches it from deep.
23:12Cans it from downtown.
23:14Mitchell's got 11 points here in just the second half.
23:18Curry finds MP.
23:20And there's Stephen Curry on the assist by MP.
23:25MP's got 10 assists here tonight.
23:27So active.
23:31Harland with it.
23:3211 points in the game.
23:34And that one's good.
23:35Mitchell.
23:36The defense a step slow, and you can see the result.
23:41Curry passes to MP.
23:43Back to Curry.
23:47Lays it up and in on a nice reverse.
23:50Curry's got 17 now.
23:52The defense not putting up any fight on the inside.
23:56They've allowed 10 straight points in the paint.
24:01Cleveland moving the ball around.
24:04Hunter, no good.
24:05Well, they'll be happy with that look, even though it didn't fall.
24:10Tough to watch those miss.
24:11I'm sure they'll convert the next chance.
24:14For three, Mitchell.
24:16It's rebounded by Kaminga.
24:19Kaminga's got four rebounds now tonight.
24:22Outside Butler.
24:23Pass to Shing.
24:25Back to Butler.
24:30Kaminga against Garland.
24:32Kaminga kicks to MP.
24:36Back to Kaminga.
24:38Back to Kaminga.
24:38And the shot clock expires.
24:4024-second violation.
24:42Looking here at some numbers for Jimmy Butler.
24:44Since the All-Star break, he has been superb.
24:48He's right around 17 points a night.
24:50Four assists.
25:15Four rebounds.
25:16But you look at all that, and really it doesn't give you the entire picture of his impact defensively.
25:22Just in general, numbers don't tell the whole story with defense.
25:26Guys like him, you have to watch to understand his impact.
25:30Shots good by Green.
25:32Six points for him.
25:33And they're beginning to just flat-out fall apart defensively right now.
25:37Especially on the interior.
25:41Here's Mitchell.
25:43And then Mitchell with the dunk.
25:45And this is what we've come to expect from Mitchell.
25:48He is just a monster offensively.
25:53Curry with the bounce pass.
25:55Butler kicks to Curry.
26:00MP passes to Curry.
26:01Curry trains it from beyond the arc.
26:04Curry's got 20.
26:05And he's clearly led the way offensively.
26:08The question is, can they ride him and get back into it?
26:14Pass to Mobley.
26:18And contact on the shot.
26:19So he'll be shooting free throws here.
26:22One look at Evan Mobley.
26:24And you can see he is built for this position.
26:27The height.
26:27The length.
26:28He's got all the physical gifts that a power forward could ask for.
26:31It's his first trip to the line.
26:33And he's there at 71 from the line this season.
26:36Probably below where you'd like to see him.
26:39And some changes here for the Warriors.
26:41Quinton Post is check-in for Draymond Green.
26:43Moses Moody comes in for Kaminga.
26:46And it's Brandon Pajemski in for Curry.
26:50And then for Cleveland.
26:51Dean Wade.
26:52He's checked in for Allen.
26:54Max Bruce comes in for DeAndre Hunter.
26:56And Ball subbed in for Garland.
26:59Right side.
27:00Butler.
27:05Pass to Pajemski.
27:06Here's Scheng.
27:10Here's Post.
27:11Wade is covering.
27:13And Post gets it to go.
27:19And here's Ball.
27:20He'll bring it up for the Cavaliers.
27:22Now Mobley.
27:25And the layup's good off the glass.
27:28Mobley's got nine points.
27:29And you can see the strength right there.
27:32Mobley knows he can score through the contact.
27:35And another assist.
27:37That makes 15 assists.
27:39He's been one step ahead of the defense all game long.
27:47Mitchell outside.
27:49And it's Wade.
27:51That time on the assist by Mitchell.
27:53Wade's got his first two points.
27:55Big miscommunication on defense.
27:58He recognizes it and quickly takes advantage.
28:02Yeah, they're going to do a much better job of putting a little bit of pressure on him on his
28:05way to the hoop.
28:06Love to see him inside passing like this.
28:09As well as guys being on the same page.
28:14Pass to Struis.
28:17Back to Wade.
28:21And the officials call him for a three-second violation.
28:26Heald's checked in for MP.
28:33Golden State's gone into a slump here from three-point range.
28:36Shooting just one of five here in the third.
28:43Mobley against Butler.
28:47And the foul called on Donovan Mitchell.
28:49That is his first foul of the game.
29:17Warriors trail by 20.
29:19So with Butler sitting on the bench.
29:21Here's the group that Steve Kerr has on the floor.
29:24Kaminga steps in at the four with Green sliding up to center.
29:29MP is out there with Curry.
29:31And it's Pajemski in at the three.
29:37Now Cleveland shooting it really well.
29:3954% from the floor.
29:41Garland dishes the ball.
29:45Drives to the hoop.
29:47Nice defense from Kaminga.
29:50The Warriors shooting 49% on the game.
29:53They'll take that.
29:54Curry finds MP.
29:58Pajemski on the wing.
30:01Outside Curry.
30:04Four on the shot clock.
30:07Pajemski on the wing.
30:10No good with the triple.
30:12The Cavaliers leading by 20.
30:14And the Cavaliers pushing it up now.
30:16Struis' shot is good.
30:18On offense ball is a catalyst.
30:21He knows how to move things around and get people quality shots.
30:26Kaminga kicks to Curry.
30:31MP against Struis.
30:33Pass to Green.
30:35Here's Curry with the three.
30:37Trains the three-pointer.
30:38Curry's got 14 points now in the second half.
30:41This is his second three this half.
30:43He's getting even more bold at that arc.
30:48Garland.
30:48That's for two.
30:50The Warriors pull it in.
30:52Curry's got his fourth rebound in this one.
30:55But Chemski's shot is good.
30:57His shot has been on point from the opening tip.
31:01He's pretty much kept them in the game.
31:03Inside.
31:04Struis.
31:05And that one is stuffed right through.
31:07Yeah, he's shown terrific control of the pace and the rhythm of this offense.
31:14He's locked in with his teammates right now.
31:17Setting guys up in perfect position.
31:19And there's Green on the assist by MP.
31:23And Braymond is smart at knowing when to shoot the ball.
31:26Especially when he's got strong position inside.
31:30Garland the pass to ball.
31:34Yep, it counts.
31:35At point blank range.
31:37Oh, yeah, yeah.
31:38You're not missing from there.
31:40Warriors trail by 19.
31:43Pass to Pajemski.
31:47Shing with it.
31:48Now guarded by ball.
31:52Knocked loose.
31:55Five to shoot.
31:57Right wing.
31:57Here's Kuminga.
31:59Off the mark there with a three-point shot.
32:02This is the definition of forcing it.
32:04He's trying to get himself going.
32:06But taking tough shots just won't do it.
32:09Man, have they been effective at getting the ball inside.
32:15Curry dishes to MP.
32:20You know, G.A., one great thing about the NBA.
32:23Well, there are many things.
32:24But one great thing is that there's always new talent coming through the ranks.
32:28Yeah, I mean, the future is bright.
32:31And, Kevin, I really like this year's draft class.
32:34Man, we just continue to add exciting young talent to the mix.
32:42That's good from Stephen Curry.
32:45Think about the impact that Steph has had on this game.
32:48Him and his team have changed the way the game is played.
32:52They have ushered in the three-point error.
32:54That is not a guy you want to allow open looks for range.
32:58Lucky for the defense, he just couldn't get it to go.
33:00MP outside.
33:07Pass to Kaminga.
33:11MP dishes to Green.
33:13And there's the bucket from Kaminga.
33:16Nice timing on the pass from Green.
33:18Finding the open guy with ease.
33:22Garland, that's for two.
33:24And Cleveland again with the bucket.
33:28Warriors trail by 17.
33:31Curry passes to MP.
33:36Back to Curry.
33:39No good on the triple.
33:42And here's ball.
33:43He'll bring it up for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
33:46To the paint.
33:46Hunter kicks to Garland.
33:48He scores his sixth bucket from the floor with that one.
33:51He's shot the ball 11 times.
33:53When you give Garland these looks, oh, he's going to find ways to capitalize.
33:57But I love his aggressiveness.
33:59Just a textbook lead pass right there.
34:02Putting it right where it needed to be.
34:06Ball.
34:06The pass to Struis.
34:11Pass to Allen.
34:13The shot.
34:14No good.
34:14Great tee that time from Green.
34:16It hasn't been his best game, but his team is still doing just enough to be up.
34:22MP kicks to Kaminga.
34:24Back to Shing.
34:26Trying to find Green.
34:27He's got it now.
34:28And it's sent back by Allen.
34:31Well, Allen has been blocking shots and denying posters his entire career.
34:39Now ball.
34:43Allen finds Garland.
34:46A three-pointer off the mark.
34:47The D has to respect his range.
34:50He made two in the first half, and he's capable of dreaming even more here in the second.
34:54Here's Green.
34:55And it's sent back by Allen.
34:58And the Cavaliers pushing it up now.
35:04Back to Garland.
35:06And so it's going to be a three-second violation out there on the defense.
35:10And a moment now to look at the scoring approach in terms of where the points are coming from here
35:15for the Cavaliers.
35:16Oh, they've been punishing the...
35:26On defense, Cleveland.
35:28A 16-point lead to the middle.
35:30It's stolen by Allen.
35:32And now the Cavaliers.
35:34Fast break.
35:3516 feet away.
35:36And there's Garland.
35:37That's good on the assist by Allen.
35:40Shaping up to be a nice night from Garland.
35:42And his offensive energy right now, the team should be pretty excited.
35:49Garland against M.P.
35:52Butler passes to M.P.
35:57Shot clock at five.
35:59Back to Butler.
36:03Rebounded by Allen.
36:04The Cavaliers leading by 18.
36:07Here's Mitchell.
36:08And it's Mitchell with the jam.
36:10This is a huge night for Mitchell.
36:13And all he really does is score.
36:15Golden State's gone a disappointing 2-6 on three-point attempts here in the fourth.
36:22M.P.
36:22Kicks to the butt.
36:27Shing in the post.
36:29Guarded by Garland.
36:32Curry on the wing.
36:34It's up a three.
36:35Connects again from distance.
36:38And his incredible shooting season continues.
36:41Oh, up the history charts.
36:43He climbs G.A.
36:44Now tied for third all-time for threes in a season.
36:48Absolutely amazing.
36:52Near the three-point line.
36:53It's Mitchell.
36:54Cleveland gets it back.
36:55And staying with the play, Allen.
36:58And the Cavaliers lead by 19.
37:01Sending it back with authority.
37:03Allen is so good at doing the dirty work.
37:06And Shing picks up the foul.
37:08That is his first foul of the game.
37:11Yeah, really good defensive play to cut him off there and square up.
37:15And Cleveland making a change here.
37:17Hunter's checked in.
37:21Garland, the pass to Hunter.
37:24Another possession.
37:26Another assist.
37:27Dishing it all over the place in this one.
37:30He's tallying them up in bunches.
37:33Come on, shoot!
37:35Shing with it.
37:36Guarded by Hunter.
37:38Kaminga dishes to MP.
37:42It's rebounded by Cleveland.
37:45Mitchell's got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight.
37:48And again, another assist.
37:50Another possession.
37:52Another assist.
37:53You know, Greg, he's sharing the ball well.
37:55Hitting his guys in their spots.
37:57Curry kicks to MP.
37:59Back to Curry.
38:01Outside Butler.
38:05MP against Mitchell.
38:08Kaminga the pass to MP.
38:11Back to Kaminga.
38:15Count that bucket.
38:17Kaminga's got nine points in the quarter.
38:19Yes, and with this one winding down, it's obvious to everyone who watched it.
38:24Just a total mismatch and a true show of strength for Cleveland.
38:29And the big difference here was accuracy from three-point range.
38:32And once they started sinking shots, it really stretched out to be and created other opportunities.
38:39And any time they got space, they seemed to just knock down another triple.
38:43And so checking out their season record, this game will become their 45th win.
38:47No doubt they came in very motivated to win this one and finish the season series at a game apiece.
38:54And one of the key components to this victory, if not the biggest, was the incredible performance for Donovan Mitchell.
39:00He did a great job following his team's game plan and not rushing anything on offense, which allowed him to
39:07catch fire.
39:08That one is off.
39:17So we see the Cavaliers taking the win here.
39:19This one was over well before the final buzzer.
39:22The fans were waiting for something to get excited about, Greg, but they never got it.
39:27They sure didn't.
39:27I mean, they just rolled to this win.
39:30They made it look really easy.
39:32What an efficient performance at both ends.
39:35Well, folks, that's going to do it for now.
39:37Along with Greg Anthony, Richard Jefferson, and Allie LaForce, this is Kevin Harlan.
39:43Thank you so much for watching tonight's presentation.
39:46See you later.
40:01See you later.
40:13See you later.
40:13See you later.
