1
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: Utah Philly the versus the East best did not disappoint.

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard stays cool under all conditions. How does the

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: guy do it? Iron Man Lebron finally sits a game

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: and TJ McConnell goes after the single game steals record.

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: It was a wild night in the Association, a ten

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: game night. So let's get to it. I'm tas Mellis,

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: and this is what you need to know in the NBA.

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: Let's get to the games because that's what matters. That's

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: what matters. Let's remember that seventy six ers Utah one

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: versus one. The Jazz were in control of this game

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: most of the way, doing what they do every single night.

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: Their three point shooting is something to watch. You know

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: it's coming, but it's hard to stop. Donovan Mitchell gets

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: enough penetration, Rudy Gobert draws enough attention in the lane,

15
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: and then they just whip it around. Joe Angles Boy

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: and mcdonovitch, Mike Conley all raining down threes. Every time

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: Philly would draw close, Utah would hit another one. It's

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: just unfair playing against them. They take the most and

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 1: make the most threes. They're the best in the NBA,

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: but early in the fourth it was a three from

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: an unlikely sixer that sparked a run. Dwight Howard hit

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: just the thirteen three of his seventeen year career. Dwight said,

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: you're going to be unprecedented. Well, so am I. Dwight

24
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: scored six straight, had a big block he was handling

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: the ball, and somehow Philly gained ground going on an

26
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: eleven zero run with zero starters on the floor, and

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: it stayed tight until the end of the fourth. With

28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: Philly down three, Joel Embiid looked up at the scoreboard

29
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: and said, oh, I'm inside the arc. Now let me

30
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: dribble out. He hit a real tough three hand in

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: his face to send it to overtime. Big men do

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: it all. Embiid doing whatever Philly needs him to do,

33
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: and in overtime that's when Donovan Mitchell had had enough

34
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: with the officiating, getting one t as Embiid was happy

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: to point out to the stripes and then he was

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: ejected after a second technical foul entertaining game between two heavyweights,

37
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: and Beiid had forty versus Rudy Gobert. Mitchell had thirty

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: three points himself, James Harden had a triple double in

39
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: his first return to Houston after nine seasons there and

40
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: a very rocky departure from the Rockets earlier this season.

41
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: But this was an anti climactic game. It was an

42
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: easy win for Brooklyn, easy trip dub for James Harden,

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: anti climactic because the Rockets just can't win a game.

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: They've lost thirteen in a row. They have been injured,

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: although they did get one of their guys back, Victor

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Oladipo returned. He had thirty three points, but it took

47
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: him twenty five shots to get there. He turned down

48
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: two years and forty five million dollars recently. Really, that's

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: a shocker. This game was on ESPN. I'm sure ESPN

50
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: wanted to flex this baby for Philly, Utah. Why don't

51
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: we get more flexing happening, and guys just broadcasted from home,

52
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: just used the other team's camera angles. I don't know.

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: I would like to flex the dunk contest and get

54
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: Zach Levine in there. Levine pregame with a ridiculous dunk

55
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: in the layup line. Last year, he did something really

56
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: similar in practice a day before a dunk contest. He

57
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: wasn't going in with a beauty dunks, just showing off

58
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: what he could do. Either way, the Bulls handled the Pelicans.

59
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: They weren't ready for Wendell Carter's offensive rebounding prowess. They

60
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: weren't ready to play defense. Wendell Carter had seven offensive

61
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: rebounds in this one. Zach Levine had thirty six points

62
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: as he heads into his first All Star Game appearance.

63
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: Congrats to Zach Levine. This was crazy. Mere hours after

64
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: the No Dunk's crew took a mailbag question about how

65
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: the last quadruple double was twenty seven years ago and

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: how it's harder to get ten steals than ten blocks,

67
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: and the NBA record for steals in a game is eleven. Well,

68
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: the Pacers TJ McConnell win out there and had nine

69
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: steals in the first half versus Cleveland. That's a record

70
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: for a half and he was coming off the bench,

71
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: so he had nine going into the second half, just

72
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: needed two to tie the record. Start him in the

73
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: third quarter, Nate Yorkrin, let's make history. Well Nate didn't,

74
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: and TJ only got one more. He did, however, get

75
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: the rare triple double with steals sixteen points, thirteen assists,

76
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: ten rips off the bench, and a perfect shooting night.

77
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: You're perfect, just the way you are TJ YouTube. Nate

78
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: Lebron set out his first game of the season. He

79
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: didn't play versus the Sacramento Kings, taking care of several

80
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: little injuries and sorenesses. Give him a break. He's thirty

81
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: six years old doing what no player has ever done

82
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: before at his age. Actually, no break. He still will

83
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: be participating in the All Star Game Sunday in Atlanta,

84
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: but it will be a quick one in and out.

85
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: Only one day of work, fewer festivities. Actually, one part

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: of Atlanta extended its serving hours to four a m.

87
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: This weekend parties will be had. The Kings held on

88
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: to b to La. Their head coach Luke Walton can

89
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: breathe a sigh of relief after he was rumored to

90
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: be on the hot seat. Recently, they've won two of three. Actually,

91
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: he has one more game versus Portland Thursday. You never

92
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: know what can happen with the Kings. Speaking of Portland,

93
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: they will also be on a back to back after

94
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: they defeated the Warriors on Wednesday. It was dame time

95
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: late as he lost the ball but then hit a

96
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: step back over Kent Basmore and Cooley went back on

97
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: d where he took a charge from Draymond Green's shorts

98
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: to win the game. And if you haven't read the

99
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: article about the tragedy that Lillard has gone through over

100
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: the last eighteen months on the Athletic by Jason Quick,

101
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: which is just out, head on over to the Athletic

102
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: dot com slash no dunks for a subscription. If you

103
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: don't have one, read it fast quick, Jason Quick. It's

104
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: a great, great piece on what Lillard has gone through.

105
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: And he continued used to ball out, it's ridiculous what

106
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: he's doing. The Atlanta Hawks came back from nineteen to

107
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: beat Orlando. Orlando just struggled to score late without so

108
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: much of their roster. No Aeron Gord, no mark el Foltz,

109
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: no Cole Anthony add no Evan fourn oh Fournier to

110
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: the guys who were out in this one. Although Dwayne

111
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: Bacon was cooking for a brief moment a little flash fry.

112
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: I can't make a Bacon comment when I see that name.

113
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: I just can't help myself. Atlanta outscored Orlanto by fifteen

114
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: in the fourth, and they feel good going into the

115
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: break where all star partying is definitely not happening. No,

116
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: no partying in Atlanta. If you had Tony Snanal lalal,

117
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: what the bars are cooking? What am I doing here?

118
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: The Raptors didn't have much of their coaching staff or

119
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: several of their players in a loss to the Pistons.

120
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Seven NBA players have tested positive recently, as Shan Sharani reported,

121
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: and many of them are on the Toronto Raptors roster.

122
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: The break is coming at a good time for them.

123
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: The Pistons Wayne Allington, he hit eight threes and scored

124
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: twenty five points, tying a career high. And there are

125
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: twenty one days before the trade deadline. Someone's got a

126
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: trade for him. Somebody, anybody, Boston, Okay, see Dallas In

127
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: the last game of the Wednesday night schedule here, the

128
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: final score was eighty seven to seventy eight. I hate

129
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: the low scoring in today's game. It's despicable. No Luka

130
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: Doncic for the mask because he has a lingering back injury. Okay,

131
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: that makes sense that they couldn't put up more than

132
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: eighty seven points. Not sure what Okac's excuse was. However,

133
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: that's it for me. Make sure you check out Happy
