1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Devin Booker stays clutch. LaMelo Ball's first start is overshadowed

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: by his teammate and Atlanta fans. If you come at

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: the King, you best not miss It. Was an entertaining

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: nine game night in the Association. Let's go, I'm tas

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: Malice and this is what you need to know in

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: the NBA. For Tuesday, February second, Phoenix Suns Dallas Mavericks.

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: What a game. The MAVs were so desperate for a

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: victory having lost five in a row, and their defense

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: was playing like it, scraping and clawing their way to

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: a two point lead. Twenty four seconds left on the clock.

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: Chris Paul had the ball for the Phoenix Suns. The

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: Wizard had a masterful game, but he couldn't tie it

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: on a layup attempt that he just bleues wide open,

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: looking good for Dallas, but DeAndre Ayton comes up with

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: the offensive rebound. He's tied up, so it's a jump

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: ball that Kristaps Porzingis wins, but it's knocked out of

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: bounds off Dallas, so Phoenix has another chance. Q Devin Booker.

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: Now Chris Paul has the ball, He's being guarded by

19
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: Maxicley but very very well. But here comes Devin Booker,

20
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: such a clutch player, coming around to screen, gets the

21
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: ball beyond the three point line, just to two to

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: tie a three to win. He rises up over Josh

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: Richardson's great defense and it goes down. Devin Booker, what

24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: a huge shot. He had fifteen points in the fourth quarter.

25
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: His head coach, Monty Williams was riding him hard despite

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: him coming back from a hamstring injury. He had missed

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: four straight games and Monty Williams was not supposed to

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: play him as many minutes as he did, but he

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: needed every single second. Devin Booker twenty four points overall,

30
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: and he must be in that conversation one shot to

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: win the game? Who you got? Because he has hit

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: five go ahead shots in the final five seconds of

33
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: a game since he entered the league. Only Russell Westbrook

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: has made more during that time. Thanks to ESPN Stats

35
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: and Info for that one. But as our man John

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: Schumann points out on NBA dot Com, Westbrook's percentages not

37
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: so good on those shots. He has just had a

38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity. So who's in that conversation, Devin Booker,

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard Of course, you'd think Luca would be in

40
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: that conversation, but he hasn't been shooting the ball that well.

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: He had twenty five points in this one. Josh Richardson

42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: tripped in with twenty four in a game that oh,

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: the MAVs thought they had. Chris Paul though thirty four

44
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: in this one. Luca will face Trey Young on Wednesday

45
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: night in Atlanta. Always a highly anticipated game two guys

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: that were traded for each other during the twenty eighteen draft.

47
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: And let's talk about Trey Young because he and the

48
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks hosted the Lakers on Monday night. Always a

49
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: highly anticipated game for me as an Atlantan level watching

50
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: the Purple and Gold come to town. But Trey was

51
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: having a great night setting up his teammates. Has the

52
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: Lakers forced him to do that. He had sixteen assists

53
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: in this one, although he had seven turnovers. But when

54
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: a fan angered Lebron James, it was over for the Hawks.

55
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: Lebron loves to be motivated by opposing fans. It was

56
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: on this very road trip a Calv's executive egged him

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: on and he had a fantastic finish to that game

58
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. So when a couple started yelling some things

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: his way, and the lady was pointing her finger very

60
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: forcefully at Lebron. Well, James talked to the referee, The

61
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: refs ejected the couple, and Lebron ended the game a

62
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: little bit later on a tear. It was kind of

63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: reminiscent of way back in eight it was Chris Bosh's

64
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: girlfriend standing up pointing his finger her finger when she

65
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: was he was with the Toronto Raptors. That let Lebron's

66
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: viuse and so did this. It was close down the stretch.

67
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Lebron liked that final one to twelve. He had nine points,

68
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,119
Speaker 1: including a three from a couple steps beyond the line.

69
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Good night. Lebron ends the Lakers road trip with a victory,

70
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: a five to two road trip for LA when all

71
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden done hornet's heat. LaMelo Ball made his

72
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: first start for Charlotte because of Terry Rozier's injury, but

73
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: it was another Hornet who also got additional playing time

74
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: that stole the show. It looked like it was Jimmy

75
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: Butler's night, though eight straight in the fourth quarter, as

76
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: he was telling his team quite forcefully to give him

77
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: the basketball as much as possible. Jimmy had twenty five

78
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: in his second game back for the Heat, Miami up

79
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: ten four minutes remaining. Q Maleik Monk, the eleventh overall pick,

80
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: fourth season out of Kentucky, hasn't found his way, but

81
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: he brought the Hornets back in this one. He hit

82
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: the game tying three to send this thing to overtime

83
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: and he finished with a career high thirty six off

84
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: the bench. Nine threes for Malik Monk, the mesh was

85
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: just loving his shooting in Miami. It's almost like it

86
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: was eating it up. It was scrumptious. It was all

87
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: I heard on the broadcast. DeVante Graham also a real

88
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: important six threes for Charlotte. He had twenty four Hornets

89
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: beat Miami. As for Ball, he did have a decent night,

90
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: but he picked up silly fouls to put him in

91
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: foul trouble. This is the line you can probably expect

92
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: from the Melow ball going forward. Three of eleven, fourteen points,

93
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: seven assists, five boards, three turnovers, and you just know

94
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: the critics are coming for him if he continues to

95
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: be a starter, He's just going to be evaluated differently

96
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: than he was when he was coming off the bench

97
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: Rockets thunder. The Rockets destroyed OKC in the first quarter,

98
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: scoring forty eight points. All you could say is wow,

99
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: well Oladipo would for the Rockets led a roster that

100
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: had ten guys who hit threes on this night. I

101
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have to make some room for Christian

102
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Wood in the All Star Game. I know it's going

103
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: to be tough for him to make it, but how

104
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: can you deny this team that is now above five

105
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: hundred a roster spot in the All Star Game. This

106
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: is great stuff? Also great stuff, And speaking of awards,

107
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: give Grizzlies Taylor Jenkins Coach of the Year. Right now.

108
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: The Grizzlies have overcome injuries to their best players and

109
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: they have started at nine to six. Memphis blew out

110
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: the Spurs, giving them seven straight wins. Wow. It was

111
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: the fifth straight game the Grizzlies have had at least

112
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: five players in double figures. Gorgy Jangs scored nineteen, Brandon

113
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: Clark had eighteen, Kyle Anderson and de Anthony Melton added seventeen,

114
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: and jaw Only had thirteen to go with eight assists.

115
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: How impressive is that Ja has missed eight games this season,

116
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: Jaron Jackson Junior and Justin Swinzel haven't even played a minute.

117
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: Jonas Valoncunas is out and that's why it's astonishing. They

118
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: bullied the Spurs for a sixty two to thirty two

119
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: advantage in the paint to sweep the baseball double header.

120
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah out of here, San Antonio King's Pelicans. Most pelicans

121
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: are fall too lodge to be preyed upon by foxes,

122
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: but there's one fox that can outweait the large brooding bird.

123
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: This unique fox species, called the d'ern, waits for the

124
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: bigger bird to tire and then pounces. The waiting period

125
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: is approximately thirty six minutes, and then the d aran

126
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: follows that up with twelve minutes of relentless pressure, which

127
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: finally breaks the bird. The d eran will hit the

128
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: pelican sometimes called the zion, with smooth gliding maneuvers, which

129
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: may result in seventeen pelicans lesions in those twelve minutes.

130
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: Those lesions are also known as points. Before you know it,

131
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: the d eran fox will have made thirty eight points

132
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: and the pelican must retire for the evening. Three more

133
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: games to catch you up on Blazer's Bucks, Bucks hitting

134
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: threes after two teams death simated them with the three ball.

135
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: They hit twenty one of them from several guys in

136
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: a route over Portland. I can't imagine coach Mike Budenholzer

137
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: being any happier. Ten of his players hitting threes and

138
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: none from the two time ragning MVP. Well, that's budball

139
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: at its finest. It's similar to what happened earlier this

140
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: year when the Bucks set the NBA record of twenty

141
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: nine mad threes in a game when twelve of their

142
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: players hit a three pointer and none were from giannistat

143
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: To Kumbo, Timberwolves Calves. Colin Sexton, well, he tweaked his

144
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: ankle on Sunday, so there was a worry that he

145
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to play the next night. Uh huh.

146
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: Back at it again, scoring twenty six in a win

147
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: over Minnesota. Jared Allen added twenty three points, eighteen boards,

148
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: and five blocks in what will hopefully be a showing

149
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: of the Cavs future at point guard and center. Last

150
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: game Knicks Bowls, Chicago's lowry marketing, coming off a thirty

151
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: one point night, delivered another thirty spot, including six threes.

152
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: Zach Lavine had seventeen of his twenty one in the

153
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: second half to give the Knicks their fifth loss in

154
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: six games. Although it seems like these teams are just

155
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: destined to have the same record this season, Nicks are
