07:24it was his shot to make
07:26the
07:26Sonics with the ball and a four-point deficit he set himself up on that one by
07:35going with the crossover everybody expects moves like that from him but
07:39that doesn't mean they're any easier to stop
07:42Jackson can't get the buzzer beater to fall we're at the end of one the score
07:4712 to 10
08:03rod you couldn't have asked for a better shooting display from these two
08:06teams could you well you could but you probably wouldn't get it man both of
08:10these teams were in the zone and just nailing their shots I'm curious as to
08:14how long they can keep this up
08:21the shot clock is at five releases Carter 13 feet out no good you can see the
08:27Divas off its game just a little bit but still managed to leave no daylight between
08:31him and the basket there's the entry path to the paint it's blocked that's how you
08:39send the message to the offense the Sonics were the last ones to get a piece of it
08:43before it went out of bounds
08:53Oakley will inbound this one
08:55don't get smoke
08:58come on get topside

09:54go
09:54go
09:55it's a five-point game
09:59the Sonics score only a three-pointer separates the teams
10:03let me talk about Patrick Ewing
10:05he is a true warrior in the NBA
10:08he competes to the very end and plays through pain
10:11he's gonna be a vital part of the Sonics front line
10:13and he's gonna be their best low post option
10:16this is the scoring machine out there
10:19now
10:19got the most points shown for the first team
10:21Bob Pee is stepping it up
10:22way to play above the rim
10:25Lewis
10:26will inbound this one
10:28it's a five-point game
10:31play a tight offense
10:32first lead

10:36no doubt about it
10:37defense will keep it close to having the shifts
10:40he gets the first of two
10:49he gets them both
10:53Davis throws it in

11:21only a minute thirty-four remaining
11:24it's passed inside
11:25takes it back out
11:26it's up
11:27it's back ironing out
11:29if you like basketball
11:30and of course you do
11:31you have to like a defense like this
11:33even when they're just a little wobbly
11:35they can still shut out a player of his caliber
11:37beautiful slam
11:39he drops it in the bucket with an exclamation point
11:41a minute twelve remaining
11:44take em take em
11:48break
11:49the Raptors can't connect and still trail by one
11:51one point separating the teams
11:53he gets them both
11:55he's on fire Rod
11:56he sure is
11:57Bob
11:58got to keep hitting the hot guy the rock
11:59that's what you need to do to keep winning
12:01the Raptors
12:02have it
12:03and are down by three
12:06pick em up
12:06pick em up
12:10the Sonics are hit with their first illegal defense
12:13is a warning
12:18Oakley inbounds the ball
12:22give it up
12:24the clock winds down to six
12:28fires
12:30Carter
12:31this is the tough shot
12:33twenty eight on the clock
12:37keep rising the ball
12:41they push it inside
12:43Ewing
12:44backs it out
12:45solid screen
12:48there's the entry pass to the paint
12:49with the drop
12:51Baker
12:52almost gets it to fall
12:53and he'll go to the line to shoot two
12:56that's the worst kind of foul Bob
12:57the one you could have totally avoided
12:59and when a guy goes up like that
13:00you've got to maintain control
13:02because it's way too easy to misjudge it
13:04and end up just hacking the guy
13:06he sinks the second
13:08Davis will inbound this one
13:09eight on the clock
13:16shoots
13:17Carter
13:17took the tight shot
13:18and couldn't connect
13:19he was up there on the glass
13:21and came away from the defensive rebound
13:23that's good Hogan
13:23the clock runs out
13:25and we're heading to the half
13:26the score
13:2723
13:28to 19
13:31such behavior
13:33could cause
13:33serious injury
13:34and firefighters
13:35will be ejected
13:36and are
13:37subject to
13:38arrest
13:54there's a pretty big discrepancy
13:55in the shooting percentages here
13:57well I think what caused the difference here is tempo
13:59when you establish the tempo of the game
14:01you get into rhythm offensively
14:03and things just start to fall for you
14:04in the paint
14:05Thomas Williamson
14:07picks it up and in
14:13Thomas Williamson
14:15Lewis throws it in
14:18the Sonics bring it up court
14:20and are up a deuce
14:21they push it inside
14:25Baker gets the jumper
14:27tough matchup
14:28but he got to be a little off guard

15:31in rebounds
15:32great positioning
15:33he knows just where to be
15:34for the board
15:35he's running but there's too bad
15:37Peyton makes him the layup
15:38good
15:39a perfectly executed crossover
15:41leaves the D out of the picture
15:42setting up a perfect shot

20:34drives
20:36Payton just picked up number 21 with that bucket.
20:39Now he's got a medal in the driver's seat too, Bobby.
20:42If they can keep executing at both ends of the court, they'll cruise for an easy win.
20:48Hey, switch, switch!
20:55Seven seconds to shoot.
20:57Rebound!
21:03Carter misses the jump shot.
21:04Even numbers. Two on two.
21:09Here comes the double team.
21:18It's knocked away.
21:19The Sonics managed to scoop it up.
21:25What a denial, Bobby.
21:27Got that hand up there and sit it.
21:28Good game.
21:29Great game.
21:30Great game.
21:30With the thunder jam.
21:32If you go into the hole, you better go strong and he did it right there.
21:36Nice dunk.
21:37The Sonics with a nine-point advantage and the ball.
21:49They work it in.
21:50The clock winds down to six.
21:52It's good.
21:53And they've been out shooting their opposition pretty handily.
21:56They've got the rhythm, Bob, and they are just playing confident and the shots are falling for them.
21:59A minute thirteen on the game clock.
22:02Break.
22:03Here's the break.
22:04Here's the break.
22:04Jackson botches the layup.
22:06Way to play the boards and to come away with the aggressive defensive rebound.
22:09We're fixing the puck in.
22:16Let's put it in, guys.
22:17Come on.
22:19The ball move sends that one down with a goal.
22:22He got left behind when he made that gorgeous crossover move.
22:25After that, it was his shot to make.
22:32Ewing will inbound this one.
22:34The Sonics with a nine-point advantage and the ball.
22:44Take it.
22:45Take it to the rack.
22:48Shoots.
22:49Payton.
22:50This is the jump shot.
22:56Yes!
22:57And he scores it.
22:58He knows it too, Bob.
22:59He's asking for the ball every time he goes down to it.
23:03Jackson.
23:03We'll wrap him up.
23:04That will be an intentional foul.
23:06Smart.
23:07They had to do something to stop the clock.
23:09Jackson.
23:10We'll get hit with the intentional foul.
23:12But Sam had to take the foul, Bob.
23:14For sure.
23:15Had to stop the clock.
23:16Pretty savvy play overall, though.
23:23He gets them both.
23:28Oakley inbounds the ball.
23:31Just 24 seconds left.
23:34Come on!
23:34Pick him up!
23:35Pick him up!
23:37They pass it underneath.
23:39Great shot!
23:40But this team is not going quite here.
23:42They're really fighting back here.
23:44Fight back on the track.
23:45Jump, dart, go.
23:46Fire, meet.
23:47These guys just won't give up.
23:48They needed to take that foul.
23:51He's shut down the clock for just a little while.
23:53It buys him a little breathing room time-wise.
23:59He gets them both.
24:03Oakley frozen in.
24:05There's 13 seconds left.
24:09Cut, cut.
24:17It's blocked.
24:18Got him under the table right there.
24:20That's the first game.
24:21First to go, Coach Pratt.
24:23That was a hack that was gone on purpose.
24:25Two shots.
24:27That's it!
24:27That's it! That's it!
24:38He gets them both.
24:42Oakley inbounds the ball.
24:44The Raptors can't get the three to fall after the nice inbound pass.
24:48There's the one.
24:48And the game is in the books.
24:50The final score.
24:5146 to 35.
24:53The Jordan 4-5.
24:55The N.
24:55The, the, the, the, the, the it.
