Quote my whole life I always knew I was going to the NBA I had my life planned out I knew I’d have stardom my whole life I thought I was the star I can’t even say I’m a rock star it’s something other than that I’m something rare guys
No shortage of confidence Ally thanks for that here are the starters for Charlotte ball and rier are the guards Hayward and Bridges at the small and power forward CL and it’s Williams in a center and for Los Angeles Jared Vanderbilt out there with LeBron James then it’s D’Angelo Russell then it’s
Anthony Davis and it’s reeds in at the two over the years no team in the NBA has had more star power than the Lakers they always have at least one future Hall of Famer on the roster tip off goes to the Lakers Russell against ball here’s Reeves outside Russell six on the shot
Clock and a foul called on the way up so he’ll take two from the free throw line it’s going to be on Miles Bridges and what has made DLo a max player he puts constant pressure on the def defense you know when we talk about the Lakers you
Expect them to have a superstar ba starting with wilt in the 60s then kareim during the 70s magic dominating the 80s and more recently Shaq and Kobe LeBron and AD the biggest names flock to La that free throw no good he so talented there’s very little Russell
Can’t do it’s just about the consistency but the talent is all there and the second free throw is good well we’re at the time of the calendar when some teams go through a mid-season low what has to be done to avoid that well first of all you have to keep your
Composure you cannot panic and of course this is when a coach earns his keep motivation becomes key keeping the player is focus and making sure nobody starts coasting now here’s Bridges always a nice way to start makes his first one just taking it right to
The rim and no one was there to greet him wow that’s a defensive breakdown can’t do that against good scores and that streaking Rack Attack is the mobile one drive you’re toasting the defense and getting in close they’ll take possessions like that one all day Hayward against
James to the paint here’s Reeves yep count it it’s simple if you get open LeBron will find you the king is an incredible passer pass to Hayward back to ball Bridges outside over Vanderbilt Bridges misses can’t F the play call even though he couldn’t convert that’s a good shot Davis that
Falls nice feed that time from James you see the weight that 8s added to his frame over the years now invites content James against Hayward there’s ball with a three that one is [Applause] off here’s Reeves looking at his stats he’s putting up about 7 and 1 half per
Game the second effort not going to go that time Some solid defense from Williams boy they’d love if anyone could get a bucket yeah their offense has been grinding to a hole that one drops for him love to see that kind of activity he just makes things happen outside
Russell here’s Reeves pounded by Rosier Davis against Williams shot from 12 Second Chance effort and Davis lays it in so hard to keep ad off the glass he’s got the length the timing and the consistency of effort ball passes to Hayward and here is Williams Rose theier outside
Driving inside it’s bridges on the wing Off the Mark there with a three there was a mix up defensively left him all alone he just couldn’t hit it here’s Reeves out of bounds it’ll be Hornet’s ball Russell against ball to the inside here’s Williams laid it in with a nice
Touch off the window keeping his head up and staying patient this is what you love to see from moir as a playmaker outside Russell pass to Reeves back to Russell blocked and that one goes out of bounds last touch by ball and the fans love seeing incredible moments on defense
Like that block that’ll put some fear into the shooters and he made sure to do it early too first quarter of play and just over three and A2 minutes in here’s James and he got the whistle on the way up so he’ll be headed to the line for a
Pair he foul won’t scare Kem James off he gets assertive and takes the Shot shooting two that free throw good from James when it comes to longevity and skill no one has done it better than LeBron James he’s in a category all to himself both free throws good from James and here in the first quarter little over three and A2 minutes played that’s
Tipped here we go here’s Reeves and out of bounds Charlotte will have it hurts to see that kind of mistake coach is going to be on him about that One Charlotte trailing I swear ball with it coming off a 12-point game pass to Bridges the three rebounded by LeBron this been a rough quarter for him can’t seem to find any kind of Rhythm Davis the pass to Jane here’s Reeves and here is Vanderbilt outside Russell just five to
Shoot shoots over Bridges oh it’s blocked by Williams and they turn it over shot clock violation as the buzzer sounds now here’s Rosier well he hasn’t put up any points yet in this one Hayward against James ball outside five to shoot poke loose James with a steel
Inside and he’s going to the line for two the officials saw contact while he was going up that one on ball Shooting Two free throw is Good from Russell and both free throws good for R so it’s the Hornets now it’s a five-point game and their first look at this year’s Lakers Squad and they were shocked by this team twice last year they just didn’t play well the Lakers
Have gone only three for nine from the floor the shot by Reeves no good and he just hasn’t been able to get it going this period and you’ve seen they’ve made numerous attempts to try to get him going shows how valuable he is to this offense now here’s Davis phenomenal
Stats on a consistent basis puts up over 24 points a game and you see the team first mentality of Anthony Davis wanting to involve his teammates here’s Rosier they Trail by seven pass to Williams now here’s Hayward to stop the drop James with the block impecable timing on the rejection
You better watch out when LeBron is around yeah and you never want to let shots at The Rim go uncontested and to look at how the offensive approach has been going so far for the Lakers for me they made a point to attack inside early in the game and
It’s paid off for them a lot of solid looks in the paint yeah also you got to appreciate how unselfish they’ve been I mean the ball movement has been impressive and the assist numbers are off the chart that’s good from Bridges Christian Wood is checked in for Vanderbilt Good on both now Russell he’s been a big score for this offense averaging around 20 points a game and the Lakers call time here they put up a nice win against Sacramento last time out and I think they were prepared to face pressure D but that never materialized so they took
Advantage they came in focused and ready to play and despite facing Little Resistance they never pulled [Applause] back [Applause] W wood right Side Russell against ball here’s Davis oh it’s blocked by Williams now here’s Rosier the D’s right on him and once again Off the Mark by Charlotte I like it that’s a great battle at The Rim he just couldn’t finish the shot by Russell No Good Charlotte is gone go for four from Deep
To start this one the three from ball buries it he’s two for four in this game you don’t want to let him get into a rhythm from out there pass to Reeves down low and Davis slams it home what a beautiful play and it was great timing then the athletic finish by
80 got a piece of it and that one goes out of bounds last Touch by ball Charlotte making some changes es Washington comes in for Hayward and it’s Smith in for Rosier and here’s James coming in off 21 points in his last Outing ball against Russell that’s good his first made shot in three attempts yeah their defense is starting to wear down that’s three straight buckets at the ball passes to Bridges shot clock at six and the foul is called he missed it so he’s got a couple of free throws coming his way it’s on LeBron James And the first one at the line is good and some changes here for the Lakers aim mura has checked in for Anthony Davis reddish comes in for James and Vincent is subbed in for Russell Bridges hits them Both here’s vinent oh got Mo aim mura outside pass to reddish clock at six off with the layup so far rebounding has been a focal point for them Bridges outside tipped away to the middle here’s reddish off Target from outside Charlotte has gone one for five from
Three-point range a cold start and he lobs it up to the rim and Washington Powers it through you could just see how insn they were there that’s what it takes to pull that off time called here Los Angeles decides to talk it over looking now for some consistency just
Too many Miss shots you know this is a good time to maybe switch up your strategy a little bit you can’t keep doing what you’re doing and expect a different result [Applause] The Lakers in the lead here’s Vincent pass to Aima and there’s the call it’s going to be an illegal screen the screener was leaning a bit right there his feet may not have been planted pretty obvious call by the officials so difficult to stay Planet especially with all the motion around you annoying
Turnover now here’s Smith now quiet so far offensively searching for his first points of the game oh and there’s the whistle on the shot so two free throws for him coming Up the first one Falls and it’s tied up with that One here’s Vincent Down low and he goes strong with the one-handed Cham impressive play by cam reddish capable of throwing it down pass to Miller and here’s Bridges that one the back iron it out Los Angeles has gone 0 for three from downtown lets it fly the shot goes down very quick possession right there now it’s a four-point Los Angeles lead Charlotte has gone one for five from three-point range a cold start Smith finds
Washington the shot misses and Los Angeles the other way now pass to Vincent here’s reddish and he was fouled while in the act of shooting so he’ll take two free throws it’s going to be on Miles Bridges using his athleticism reddish fites through the foul and managed to put up the Shot shooting two No good on the free throw a versatile wing with a good overall skill set reddish has a bright future in this league and I think his peers would Agree that one’s no good they’re really not doing themselves any favors picking up this many fouls so early here’s Miller off Target with the three and for the Lakers they’re scooting right around 42% on the first pass to Aima to the inside reddish and he dunks
It down hey win in doubt run the defender off the screen and you know with a result like that we’ll see them run it again especially if the defense is going to allow you to do it have to switch on that play now a timeout called by Charlotte they couldn’t put the
Pieces together last time out losing to the Clippers yeah I think they’d like to forget that game you usually want to find some teaching moments but in this case it might be best to just destroy the tape nothing wrong with that sometimes we overanalyze things can’t be better to just let it go
Hayward he’s checked in for Charlotte Washington passes to Hayward here’s Miller to the paint here’s Smith and he makes it on the leg when they get their opportunity to punch it inside they don’t hesitate Los Angeles has gone 0 for three from downtown pass to reddish maim mura Outside back to reddish six to shoot Richards pulls it in Charlotte trailing 110 left to play in the first rebounded by the Lakers that one doesn’t drop and the Hornets going the other way now boy they need something to go to regain some confidence no question way too many empty possessions for them
Hayward Outside oh it’s stolen by AIM mura now the Lakers moving it up bearing his second of three attempts Charlotte’s GES one of six from downtown it’s a 4sec differential between the shot clock and game clock pass to Miller who’s watching him and that one goes in as he’s fouled
It’ll be three points if he converts the free throw [Applause] there’s 10 seconds left to play in the first quarter pass to Wood so it’ll be two free throws he was fouled in the act of shooting Shooting two that free throw Misses and he’s good on the second [Applause] and that does it for the first quarter Lakers ahead they’re up by four let’s take a quick break and then it’s on to the second quarter after This hope you’ve enjoyed the broadcast so far halfway through the first half in this one and from what we’ve seen from the Lakers what’s your take so far defensively their gambles are paying off jumping passing Lanes and pressuring ball handlers and you can’t cause those mistakes unless you’re willing to gamble
So far they’ve rolled the dice and it’s paid off you know for most players being a starter has value but Grant some Elite teams have been elevated by great players who have accepted a reserve role and it’s really special ba when you have that players who are willing to
Sacrifice for the greater good of the team putting winning first at all costs you think about it through the years monel job with the Spurs Andre guadala and Golden State it really can Galvanize a team and lead to winning championships Davis out there with Jared Vanderbilt then there’s LeBron James then it’s
D’Angelo Russell and it’s Reeves in a two guard that’s the group for the Lakers to kick off the second quarter Free throw drops for Williams and so he hits both and the Lakers with possession here after this one they’re off to Dallas to take on the Mavericks that’ll be the first of a five game tour around the league pass to Vanderbilt it’s James on the wing guarded by Hayward here’s
Vanderbilt that one rolls around and rims out and for the Hornets they’re shooting around 35% from the field so far Baseline jumper Davis with a rebound Davis has got five rebounds tonight and we played through the first minute here in the second pass to Reeves and there’s the rejection oh poked
Away here’s the [Applause] break James outside here’s Davis pounded by ball and finished off by Davis we haven’t seen many buckets like that one these teams have struggled to dial in their shooting you have to give credit to the defenses protecting the rim closing out hard this one’s been a grind
Now here’s Paul he’s got five award for three miles Bridges checked in for Hayward the Lakers have gotten nothing to go out of five attempts so far this quarter outside Russell pass to Vanderbilt Davis against Williams shot clock at six look here’s James offensive board
Davis yep that one goes Davis has got 10 the contact there can’t stop ad his size helps him get to his shot Bridges outside pass to Rosier three-pointer no good and they’re doing strong work on the glass A plus five Advantage for them there’s Reeves and he’s now three for eight
After that one they’re just taking what the defense gives them and right now that’s the interior going all in that was the 2K Drive well worth a second look yeah staying with it and looking to expand this margin cardino takes like that will certainly help time called
Here the Hornets decide to talk it over and now that they have some time time to get a little bit of rest it’s time for these players to regroup while hydrating themselves with some Gatorade looking to gain a boost of energy as they continue to play in this game and staying
Hydrated is the only Surefire way to do it an athlete’s body doesn’t have the same power and stamina without proper hydration these guys will be sure to use this timeout wisely [Applause] [Applause] Second quarter play almost three minutes gone here ball passes to Bridges the three all no good their strong work at it has been evident on the glass really getting after it in being and out of bounds the Hornets will take it three minutes of action thus far in the second pass to
Rosier shoots off the step back here’s Richards and stolen by Vanderbilt here’s Reeves he’s got six James with the ball sinks that one from the post they’re really settling into a nice Rhythm now starting to gain the upper hand they’re playing well they’re building momentum this is how they can
Turn a small lead into a big one now here’s ball he’s got five back to Bridges left side Williams five on the clock three-pointer Ros here rebound by the Lakers Davis has got eight rebounds in the game pass to James over Williams here’s Vanderbilt the rebound by
Bridges bridges has got five rebounds in the Game and here’s ball guarded by Russell for Three Bridges it’s good and the assist that time from ball Bridges just got nine his three-point shot looks so pure the defense allowing him to get comfortable out There Bridges against James here’s Reeves six points for him here’s Russell Richards pulled pulls it in Charlotte has gone one to four from three-point land here in the second here’s ball LeBron with the rebound James has got four rebounds in the game inside the basket drops and he gets
Fouled on the shot one free throw coming his way that’s great offense LeBron does it over and over again whether it be for himself or for one of his teammates behind the lanes behind the lanes one Shot the Hornets have gone one for six in the second quarter not great ball finds Bridges back to Ball He shoots it Richards great positioning on the footb he really gets in perfect position for the follow just a terrific read James outside this one for three out of bounds as Los Angeles keeps possession and the Hornets making a change here Washington’s checked in Charlotte on D trailing by
Eight Russell with a ball six on the shot clock over Williams the shot by Russell no good hard to create space in that mid-range area he would have been better passing that off Roser Outside pass to Bridges from Deep rebounded by the Lakers Vanderbilt’s got four rebounds now I’ll tell you what they’ve been aggressive and they’ve been physical and the layup is good off the glass Russell’s got seven points and they’re really working in the paint now now here’s Rosier now Bridges over James misses off the left iron he’s had a tough time getting it going and he’s put this team behind the eightball goes back up oh and he got fouled on his way up he’ll head to the line to shoot two Shooting two First free throw is good so it’s both teams making substitutions Here t misses so he splits the free throws he’s in attack mode drawing contact now getting to the line something he didn’t do at all in the first quarter Smith outside rebounded by the Lakers and right now they’re plus eight in the rebounding category that’s helping them run away with
This the shot off that time and Charlotte going the other way now they’re off to battle the Trailblazers after this one as they’ll be playing at Mota Center that’ll be game five for them as they near the end of a six-game trip now here’s Washington he’s averaging about six points per
Game up top Smith hey yo yo right here right here and count that two points and a chance for one more at the line unreal play to take on the contact and get it to go and the Lakers making a change here reddish is checked in Gordon Hayward he’s checked in for Charlotte and that one misses Los Angeles has gone 0 for two from outside in the second quarter and again no good by the Lakers Charlotte trailing that’s a foul he wanted to avoid and he definitely doesn’t want to pick up his third before the Half Smith outside and misses it off the right side of the rim woo that’s just a case of bad defense and even worse offense here’s reddish oh it’s blocked by Williams and it goes out of bounds last Touch by Williams time called here Los Angeles decides to talk it over [Applause] [Applause] oh [Applause] here’s Vincent the 15-footer is good and the Lakers lead by 11 you really have to question the defensive effort on that possession they are getting bued tonight with plays like that one allowing too much space for a good shooter here’s Miller he’s been productive averaging
Just over seven points a game Hayward outside clock at six Charlotte needs to get one up in a hurry the three ball Charlotte gets it back Williams perfect night so far two for two have to take care of the defensive boards better than that reason why lack of focus lack
Of communication which led to Second Chance points now here’s reddish Haim mura outside out to the right [Applause] wing out to Wood puts it [Applause] up going the other Way Charlotte has gone just one of six from the perimeter here in the second Smith against saimura pass to Williams Some solid D from wood this is the shot you want right at The Rim he just could deliver the offensive rebound and the basket by aim mura aima’s got his first
Basket and I love how they’re working much harder on the glass this quarter and drumming up more Second Chance opportunities Back to Hayward lets it Fly tries again and it’s Williams with the bucket inside Williams has got a credit their discipline they’ve been working for high percentage shots outside reddish wood against Williams three-pointer conect from downtown he’s got seven it’s just executing at a high level I mean taking what the defense
Allows and putting in the work the reason why they’ve stayed aggressive and they have not L up this entire night and at this point I wouldn’t expect them to here’s Miller shot from the top of the key maimura with a rebound they really have a commanding lead not just in
Points but in rebounds as well reddish misses having a shaky time from the floor but his teammates have been picking up the Slack wood against drives to the hoop pass to Williams and so he draws the foul headed to the line to shoot to pair Christian Wood picks one Up the first free throw is Good and he Mak both free throws Los Angeles has gone one for three from downtown here in the second pass wood and wood with the stuff slams it down with two hands man they’re really getting aggressive now Washington with the ball aimira covering reddish against Hayward 36 seconds left to play in the first half reddish misses well the Hornet shooting just 31% in today’s game not great Smith outside back to Hayward the three is up sinks the tray hayward’s got his first bucket of the game and he’s on the board for three not the guy you want
To let Catch Fire Heyward better be first on your mind pass to Wood Some solid defense from Williams that’s going up against a defense that knows your Tendencies and so it’s the Los Angeles Lakers with a nine-point push it at the end of the quarter and
It’s all due to their ability to own the paint they’ve been dominant down low we’ll be back in a moment and now the 2K sports halftime show hey welcome back to 2K Sports Ernie Johnson alongside Shaquille O’Neal and the Jet Kenny Smith let’s get to it a competitive matchup for the Lakers
In the first quarter they had a four-point Advantage at the end of the period they ended the second with a solid nine-point lead a nice show of force by them and taking a look at the Lakers sha what you think they’re in good shape thanks to the work they’re
Doing on the glass their effort has been excellent numbers are too but I don’t see those numbers dropping off they’re going to keep doing the Dirty Work in the second half Kenny what was your Takeaway on Charlotte they couldn’t get anything from Beyond obviously plenty of
Bad stot but they couldn’t even hit wide open on they need to regroup I’m telling you regroup with some kind of Rhythm and get off pace and that’ll do it for our halftime report stay tuned for the the second half about to get underway and we played through the first
Half plenty of basketball left in this one a fantastic game from Anthony Davis in this one and he was a beast on the offensive glass in that first half how can they slow him down basketball 101 you’ve got got to put a body on him unfortunately that’s a fundamental that’s gone by the
Wayside and we’ve got third quarter basketball here two quarters in the books Charlotte trailing on the court for Charlotte roier out on the wing with Hayward then it’s miles Bridges then it’s ball and it’s Williams in at the Five Spot and ball with a basket the
Assist by roier balls got eight woo he got a clean clean look and he makes the defense pay for disrespecting him now here’s Russell James outside pass to Reeves six to shoot and he can’t answer back the three-pointer offline up top Bridges harded by vanderville and he gets the bucket he’s got 11 and let’s take another look at that exceptional Drive thanks to mobile one and the way he’s been able to protect
The ball from the defense is really incredible he makes it look so easy Russ with the ball about a minute played here in the second half now Vanderbilt he’s guarded by Bridges vanderville against Bridges and down it goes two points James has got his second basket of the
Game attacking the heart of the defense LeBron doing his work inside the paint ball passes to Hayward over James o a clear foul there on the Miss shot so he’ll get a pair at the line Shooting Two that free throw good from Hayward and what I appreciate about Gordon is he’s a fighter working his way back from that devastating leg injury in 2017 still a solid contributor both free throws good from Hayward the Lakers in the lead to the paint here’s Davis oh it’s
Blocked by Williams out of bounds as Los Angeles keeps possession it’s time to take a glance again at that superb blck yeah obviously he had the shot well anticipated able to shut it down with authority 90 seconds into the second half now that one Falls give him eight points now I
Mean they’ve been Relentless just keep getting shots at The Rim ball with it Russell covering come down low and ball gets it to go terrific game plan coming out of halftime a perfect three for three from the field for three James Paul with the rebound for Charlotte they’ve gone three of three in
This second half Hayward to pass to roier and he got the whistle on the way up so he’ll be headed to the line for a pair the defense tries to stop roier inside but he just goes for the shot with Reckless abandon he wasn’t getting shut down
Take a break take a break two shot that free throw good from roier and when you look at roier such a fantastic score a gear shifting talented guard who continues to improve Both free throws good from roier Los Angeles has gone 0 for two from outside here on the third outside Russell here’s Reeves pounded by Rosier back to Russell and stolen by Williams this for the tie and it’s Bridges laying it in bridges has got 13 now and coming out of halftime coach
Said they wanted to start fast how’s four for four Russell the pass to James and the layup is good James has got four points this quarter keeping Pace here that’s an excellent move inside and he lobs it up and he lays in the alley pass oh what a pass those two
Read each other really well looks like a play they’ve definitely run in practice outside Russell pass to Reeves James outside here’s Reeves by Rosier here’s Davis Williams grabs the board Williams has got rebound number 10 tonight with that last one it’s Hayward on the wing Five Points in the game and he was camped in the lane there he gets a 3-sec call Richards
Is checked in for Charlotte now a timeout called by the Lakers looking now for some consistency just too many missed shots you know this is a good time to maybe switch up your strategy a little bit you can’t keep doing what you’re doing and expect a different Result The Lakers have gone three of seven here in this third quarter James finds Russell and here is Vanderbilt right side Russell and yep it’s good Russell’s got nine points the inside the paint Russell stays so Nimble helping him get such a high percentage look Bridges passes to Williams here’s
Rosier here’s Richards guarded by vanderville oh they get a hand on it and wrestling forth there but no one has possession we’ll have a jump ball so it’s the Lakers now the Lakers have gone four of eight in the third James outside outside Russell hander buil inside Williams defending
And this is exactly how Russell does solid assist numbers I mean just great delivery on that play Bridges Outside Russell against the Ball and they get it back all of ‘s 76 wing span coming into play allowed him to block it away and it’s the Lakers on the break here’s Reeves ped by Rosier back to James PES and shoots it’s rebounded by Charlotte Williams has got 11 rebounds in the
Game they need something good to happen here yeah they’ve gone way too long without a score row here outside shot clock at Six the Lakers with a rebound Vanderbilt’s got his seventh rebound here tonight now Russell he’s got nine James passes to Davis the shots good on the assist by James James has got four assists now tonight he’s given a great lift to this offense tonight very very efficient now here’s Williams 10 points for
Him ball outside Williams against Davis Rosier outside a shot to stop the Drone Davis with a rebound Davis has got double digit rebounds now in the game you want to talk about ugly this team is losing partly because he hasn’t drained a shot all night here’s Reeves give him eight pass to
Davis oh that bucket gives him his seventh field goal in 12 tries wow defensively for some reason they’ve come out flat here in the second half now a timeout called by Charlotte coach definitely wants to talk about their interior defense which has not been impressive it’s a matter of want to
Helping out contesting shots you have to want to make the effort Washington’s checked in for Williams the Hornets have gone five for nine from the floor in the third quarter ball passes to roier Pass to Bridges they need this that one’s wide left yeah he’s kicking himself no Defenders to be found in that mid-range area James can’t get it to go Charlotte has gone one of two shooting from the perimeter since halftime down low here’s Richards and he caught that pass in full
Stride on his way to the big slam not just swinging the ball around the the perimeter aggressive move inside James outside misses the three for Charlotte they’ve gotten six of 11 attempts to fall so far in the third three-pointer Bridges the put back controls the
Rebound and the put back and now just a four-point Laker lead just an absolute force on the glass he was not going to be denied Russell against the ball now here’s Russell he’s covered closely and he’s going to the line for two the officials saw contact while he
Was going up that one on b a chance to catch up on some numbers here the scoring breakdown for the Lakers I think they’ve looked to dump it down low as often as possible and so far they’ve been super successful using this attack and we also got to talk about the number
Of points they’ve scored in transition just jumping all over the opposition in this regard and he makes a first aim mura has checked in for Los Angeles he does not get the second one the Hornets have gone seven of 13 in the second Half Smith outside pass to Miller now ball here’s Richards guarded by Wood down to five on the shot clock there’s ball with a three he Nails it that’s his fifth makeing 11 tries all about converting your opportunities he just hit his second three of this half thirdd of the night James outside back to Russell the shot from 20 ft out and there’s the call on Ru Aura that’s his first foul Vincent checked in for Russell for Charlotte they’ve gotten eight of 14 attempts to go in the second half so far now here’s ball defense right on him that one’s good this game is all even
Balls got 10 points in just the second half this is the consistency he was looking for in the first half just took him a while to heat up back to Vincent O Plenty of contact on that shot officials call the foul and he’ll take two free throws now PJ Washington picks
One up everyone in the building saw the obvious contact and guys let’s get your take on the hustle stats for the Hornets what I love and the coaching staff has to love is the defense they’ve really brought the energy with all these blocks we’ve seen in this one they’re also finding a
Lot of points tonight off a transition play running the floor and using the fast break to beat the defense and he drops the first the Hornets making a switch here hayward’s checked in so he hits one of two from the strike you know he wanted to knock down all his
Shots at the line but he still did enough to put them in front oh and he got fouled on his way up he’ll head to the line to shoot two two shots out two shooting two ties it up and his next one could give him the lead
And now they lead as the free throw drops in for him money from the stripe he does a great job night in and night out back to Von up and over Smith and again no good by the Lakers the battle of the boards has been something to watch making sure
Of it with a two- hand slam ba yeah I don’t blame him with the score this tight you cannot take a chance here back to James the three is up Hornet with the rebound at some point when you recognize someone’s this out of rhythm you have to shift to something
Else a nice shot by Richards this run has been fueled by their Matador defense offensively it’s been a struggle for him yeah they need to string together some shots to have any kind of Chance 4 three it’s haed in by Hayward here’s Charlotte some momentum a 15-2 run Underway pass the ball lets it Go kept alive here’s Richards it goes again his six basket and seven tries they have laned on him all quarter and it has worked to perfection here’s Vincent covered by Smith doesn’t go for him and Charlotte going the other way now here’s Miller rejected by James and
He gets it back another shot and that one hits the back iron he really can’t buy a bucket but his teammates have his back that one’s good for two nine points in the game beautiful location on the pass as usual LED his man Perfectly aim mura against Hayward the three Smith rebounded by LeBron James he’s got five rebounds in the game pass to Vincent and we’re going to have a jump ball you two and so it’s the Lakers with it wood right side here’s vinsent covered by Smith and denied he sends it right off the glass Reeves is checked in for the Lakers D’Angelo Russell comes in for Vincent and a change for the Hornets
Bridges is checked in and it’s the Hornets ball they’re on a 17 to four run ball left side the Baseline J that one a little long lamelo ball getting it done for the Hornets moving the Rock and looking for a shot it’s clear he’s in a good Rhythm
We’ll be right back with you shortly let’s hear what Steve Clifford was going over with the team that was all decision making great job with the Personnel we didn’t get spread out and we ran down to rebound those are ones we going to get we got to get those long Le
Out and Steve Clifford emphasizing hustle especially with respect to the boards well teams are addicted to long range shooting nowadays that leads to a ton of long rebounds if you don’t pick those up it puts you at a real disadvantage and with three quarters behind us we’ll start the fourth in what
Is still anybody’s ball game they’ve got D’Angelo Russell Christian Wood out there with Anthony Davis then there’s LeBron James and it’s Reeves in a the shooting guard Nat who’s in the game for the Lakers two shots relx on the first free throw is Good from Russell Williams is checked in for Charlotte and both free throws good for Russell the Hornets with the lead haward outside pass to Rosier Smith outside three-pointer rebound collected by Anthony Davis Davis has got the glass covered here
Tonight that’s 11 boards for him out to James Wood against Hayward wood passes to James six on the shot clock Davis down low he’s against bridges that one goes in the offensive IQ ad possesses is special smart and knowing how to get himself going Hayward against it’s James fires from the
Line Hayward shot is off trying to finish out the game strong you have to recognize who has the hot hand and get him the ball to take the lead the shot by Reeves no good The Hornet shooting only 38% from the floor not great Smith no good the Lakers
Trail here’s Reeves oh the go-ahead bucket no Good rose here outside pass to Hayward Beyond The Ark and Reeves pulls it down the Lakers have gone one of four since the fourth quarter began James passes to Russell and a foul called on the way up so he’ll take two from the free throw Line that one drops he ties it up and the Lakers making a change here Vanderbilt’s checked in and that one Falls that puts him up one point in the game now two minutes gone by here in the fourth the Hornets have got none of their shots to go in this final quarter
0 for four back to Smith Davis against Williams he gets it in there and the Hornets lead by one neither team able to take a hold of this game yeah it’s a been a tight one numerous lead changes very Competitive an open look for Russell the Lakers with another Miss Charlotte has gone 0 for three here in the fourth releases Smith no good I mean he’s trying to shoot his way out of what’s becoming a prolonged cold streak you know to me this is when you want to
Focus on creating for others give someone else a chance it’s called a teammate here’s Reeves pass to Russell now here’s Vanderbilt he’s guarded by Bridges and he was fouled while in the act of shooting so he’ll take two free throws it’s going to be on Miles Bridges two shot the free throw dropped for Vanderbilt And vanderville drops some both Charlotte calls timeout you got to like what Anthony Davis has done in this game the man has has been Relentless scoring inside attacking the rim every chance he gets their defense has been powerless to stop him we’ll see what adjustments they make coming out of this timeout Time now to hear from our reporter Ali leforce hey guys well here’s a summary of what Steve Clifford went over with his team during the break he told them he likes what he’s seeing inside saying quote stay on the attack getting to the rim is working for us right now attack
Until they stop us guys appreciate the report Ally he’s kind of lost his way this period having a hard time getting anything to go down pass to Reeves James with the ball left side Davis and he’ll draw the foul he’ll head to the line for two got to be careful
How you guard Davis given his size he uses it to absorb Contact first one Falls for him you know there so many things ad can do on the floor to help help your team Win both free throws good from Davis hey when you start locking it down at the line good things tend to happen Smith outside back to Hayward here’s Bridges unable to get that one good d by vanderbelt here the Lakers with the ball they’ve outscored him 10 to2 during this run Davis oh he
Pipes it nine for 14 and showing no let up I mean it’s amazing to watch ad at his size dance with The Rock and create space for his shot Smith finds Rosier Davis against Williams it’s Hayward on the Wing looking to get it going rebounded by the Lakers Davis has got 14 rebounds tonight going after it the struggle is real he’s been way off with his shot all evening long coaches loving the ball movement outstanding trible drive and that replay was brought to you by mobile one making an impact I
Love the aggression playing on that front and looking to expand their lead Ro pass to Smith and here’s Bridges Red by vanderville to the middle here’s Rosier and the shots good this guy is a fighter roier just a Workhorse who enjoys scoring on the aggressive coverage now
Los Angeles with it they’re on a 14 to four run pass to Russell here’s Reeves pounded by Rosier here’s Reeves Davis with it the three from Russell Hornets with the rebound hayward’s got six rebounds in the game so it’ll be two free throws he was fouled in the act of shooting love to
See Gordon Hayward shake things up and get busy down side the defense really doesn’t know what to do when he’s down there other than Hack him shooting Two and he knocks down the first one they’re doing some good work at the line this Half both free throws good from Hayward here are the Lakers now they’re on a 14 to6 Run the three from Russell Hornet with the rebound okay that’s frustrating you work hard to get these open looks you know he likeed that one back roier the pass to Bridges just five on the clock rier from outside sends it home from three-point land and this game is tied up now
Training his first three of the game no doubt hoping to build up a little momentum from outside pass to Reeves outside Russell fires from deep and finished off by Davis oh ad needs is solid inside positioning once he has this he’s clear for takeoff Hayward the pass to Smith back to Hayward Smith Outside to take the lead that shot is off and the Lakers will go the other way with it this has been a close game in a lot of ways but they do have an edge on the board and Davis slams it home with a shot like that ad has completely redefined what we
Expect out of a power forward Charlotte has gone just one of six from downtown in this final quarter roier from outside James with the rebound James has got rebound number eight here already in the game 16 ft out nice D from Bridges Charlotte tring and it’s Bridges with the jam oh
Save that for the dunk contest that flush was so extra whether or not this game is close he’s the same guy focused on finishing firm at The Rim o a great look there brought to you by the AT&T 5G slam can Russell finds James Davis with it Williams defending
Davis the pass to Russell and stolen by Williams here’s Smith no good excellent D there from Davis I don’t know how many shots he’s missed this quarter but they’re going to have to find offense from someone else talk about making halftime adjustments you love what they’re doing with him now offensively they’re searching for a way
To score yeah buckets have been very tough to come by it’s Williams High post Davis on him roier the pass to Hayward to the inside and Williams punches it home as 68 you love the skill level of Hayward very comfortable at the controls and so it’s the Lakers with it three-point
Lead pass to Reeves now James ooh stolen by Smith tries to break his ice hey the Slam by Hayward very effective off the bounce Gordon Hayward doesn’t care who’s in his Way outside Russell pass to Vanderbilt James outside Russell with the ball lets it go from Deep the rebound by Bridges bridges has got nine rebounds now it’s Hayward on the wing Davis against Smith now here’s Rosier oh no good had a chance to take the
Lead to the middle and Davis slams it at home they needed that bucket the aggression of ad when he senses a big moment not something you can teach Charlotte calls timeout he recognized his players were fatigued and needed time to catch their [Applause] breath And now let’s take a look at the New Balance player of the game lamelo ball can you say vintage wow this was a vintage performance I mean so much of the game is about the three ball today but his focus is going hard into the paint and doing damage from inside the
Hornets making a switch here balls checked in here’s Rosier ball outside pass to Williams six to shoot back to ball to tie it up the shot no good and the Lakers will go the other way with it they held a 12-point lead earlier James outside here’s r Lees pounded by Rosier
Oh he took a hard foul on the shot so he’ll head to the line to shoot a pair Terry Rosier picks one Up he misses the free throw he hits the second from the line and here’s Ball from 8 ft away drops it in Ball’s got 19 points and this is just typical of him always making an impact at crucial moments in the game it’s the fourth quarter and it’s a close game you want to get the ball to someone one you
Can rely on one of the League’s great competitors the second LeBron catches the ball you can see he’s looking to rise to the occasion now here’s ball can’t hit from in close it’s a one-on-one situation and Davis gets it to go on the assist by James and now it’s a six-point
Laker lead and how about that transition opportunity for Anthony Davis has the long strides to eat up ground in a hurry ball against Russell outside for roier let’s go with a three LeBron with the rebound James has got double digit rebounds now in the game rustle against the ball oh and
There’s the whistle on the shot so two free throws for him coming up So the first one drops and that makes it a seven-point lead and he hits both free throws here and it’s an eight-point ball game The Hornet shooting about 32% during this four Rosier outside Russell against ball and there’s a whistle he’ll head to the line to shoot two
Take a break take a break Two Shots first free throw is good and that narrows the Gap to seven and a ball Nails both of them those are big free throws now they need some defensive stops James with the ball and he’ll draw the foul he’ll head
To the line for two that one on Hayward great scores have this ability let LeBron get that close that’s two points or a trip to the line He gets the first and that makes it a seven-point lead so he goes two for two at the line and it’s an eight-point ball game here are the Hornets with the ball here’s ball oh not wasting any time and taking the shot and hitting it and
He was dominant in their last outing and the same thing here tonight he is in a terrific grve right now here’s here’s the thing he’s a guy who will go on hot streaks for you over a number of [Applause] games good on the first and that makes it a seven-point [Applause]
Lead second one is good getting both at the line and it’s an eight-point ball game at this point it just feels like it’s over they couldn’t make enough plays when it mattered interesting game though in terms of some of the matchups and he’ll take a trip to the line for
Two clearly got fouled on that shot shooting two oh the first of two no good [Applause] Heartbreaker and the second of two is good and that narrows the Gap to seven 26 seconds left in the final quarter just let the clock run out hey it’s time to celebrate pass to James vanderbild inside he’s guarded by Bridges Vanderbilt no good and here’s Rosier reporter Bridges it doesn’t go for
Him and so it’s the Lakers with the w boy they didn’t make it easy on their fans or themselves but at the end of the day everyone on their side is happy yeah happy indeed the momentum shifted away from them a few times especially early on but give these guys credit for
Sticking with the game plan and finishing the job all right Allie’s ready to go she’s courtside and a big issue for teams Greg this time of year keeping players healthy for the Long Haul coaches we’re seeing starting to adjust rotations keeping an eye on guys minutes and Kevin it’s such a long
Season the teams have to keep the key players fresh it’s not a strategy everyone loves but it’s a necessary concern in today’s NBA so let’s take a look at the Charlotte starting lineup the guard pair B B and roier up of the forward spots it’s Hayward and bridges
And it’s Williams at the five spot I IQ pass by LeBron he reads the floor and gets it to the open shooter and so the Los Angeles Lakers get the first points of the ball game Williams finds award outside ball and it’s off from three-point range and here’s James he’ll bring it up
For the Lakers it’s a three-point game this game coming on the heels of their win against the Kings well it helps when your opponent makes that many mistakes I thought that was the story of the game it definitely made things easier for them when the other team is just handing
You the ball back got to make him pay for it and he likes to get in a rhythm early nice triple ball to pass to roier Williams kicks the ball again ball missing Los Angeles has gone two of two from three-point range here in the first Quarter Davis the pass to James ball against Russell on the wing Davis just five on the clock good and it’s Russell picking up the assist the ball movement on this run has been fantastic fastic and is a big part of why they’ve been able to get these good looks and you love seeing
That great mobile one drive a second time and putting that pressure on the rim that’s what it’s all about threatening with that attack now here’s ball he had a 12-point outing in their last game against the Clippers they need this Williams shot is off I thought he had that all sewn up but somehow the defense just threw him off they get it again the shots good from Vanderbilt out out to a hot start four makes and five shots to begin this
Ball game a big shot here to get this offense going too many empty possessions right now they need a basket and now the first timeout called here for the Hornets last game matched up with the Clippers a tough loss there well in that one you could pretty much see the
Writing on the wall their performance was lackluster at best yeah I just didn’t see any fire from them to want to get it back that’s just one of those games you throw away in the trash and try and forget about it If you’re just tuning in we’ve played about two and a half minutes here in the first ball the pass to ball against Russ to stop the drought and ball puts it in and they can breathe a little easier on their Force shot they finally hit the target there’s the pass to
Reeds it’s James to off the key pass to Reeves and here’s Russell just for to shoot the shot no good excellent D there from ball outside Williams on the wing roier outside ball lets it go from 11 good work there as it goes balls got his second bucket
Tonight and I love balls awareness when the mid-range Jay is available he is more than happy to take it James picks to Russell down low here’s Reeves good and it’s Russell picking up the assist Reeves has got five now and their offense already in a flow some Stellar
Shooting to jump out to this lead a moment now to hear from our sideline reporter Hall of Famer David Al David well we were able to talk with Steve Clifford he said a primary concern is to prevent those easy three-point looks from outside he said closing out hard on
The shooters is going to be the key if they don’t bother the shooters he said it’s going to be a very long four quarters back to you Kevin thanks David devising a strategy could take away that three-point shot here’s Lebron after Terry rosier’s basket and another three
For the Lakers and I like when Russell plays with pace and that was a good shot in Rhythm and that can get him going ball the pass to roier here is Hayward takes a three Anthony Davis with the [Applause] rebound on the wing James back to Davis lots of room it’s rebounded by Charlotte not that time but that’s a shot that he’s going to make more often times than not shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws taking third overall in 2020 lamelo ball is a unique
Player like his brother Lonzo very tall at the point at 66 and he’d much rather pass it than shoot it and guys let’s get your take on the scoring breakdown for the Lakers And the first one Drops call hits him both no surprise there he’s about as automatic as a gets from the stripe I hope I didn’t Jinx him James the best to Rees LeBron against award outside Davis for the three good and the assist goes to LeBron D is got fan great outside shooting really fueling this run Charlotte calls timeout and team strategies closely guarded one aspect of the game the f aren’t always privy to and we see it so often one little tweak
To the game plan and everything falls into place for a Team All [Applause] [Applause] yeah here’s ball he has six Hayward outside passes it to roier puts it up from 12 that’s good on the jump shot and we continue to see Rosier taking on more responsibility offensively nice finish inside Lebron outside there’s Russell with the three a shot missing now Charlotte takes it the other
Way ball kicks to roier back to ball Heyward looking over the floor and James pulls it down well some trips you get the shot you want it just doesn’t fall I’d go back to him in that area on the floor offensive rebound Davis tries again here’s Vanderbilt and finally they hit
One defensively they’ve been a step slow here to start and so it’s Paul with it he brings it up for the Charlotte Hornets trailing by 10 pass to Hayward and Jared Vanderbilt gets the whistle that time that’s his first foul this game is always changing and and
There are feds there are it’s cyclical RJ in so many ways here we have the last four MVP winners all 611 or toing and a lot of people think it’s a game of 66 six seven guys yes that’s true and I’m glad that it’s starting to come back you
Know why because I had to go against Shaq and Tim Duncan and David Robinson my first two times in the finals and everyone’s like you’re 0 and2 it’s like I had to go against those giants I’m glad to see that Giants are back in dominating the game yeah clearly the big
Men are not extinct nope and he makes that one and now a 12-point Laker lead excellent allaround performance so far hence the big lead they got off to such a hot start and that can keep you energized throughout the whole game now here’s ball he has six Washington passes the
Ball and Davis sends it back too much this too much that too much length from ad get that out of Here LeBron against Bridges and there’s the pass to Reeds out to Russell on the [Applause] clock uses the glass to finish the layup Russell’s got his second basket of the night they should continue to get the ball in side the defense struggling to contain them Bridges outside pass to
Williams it’s good he scores that’s his first basket after missing his first two attempts now one for three I I love the fact that bridges does a little bit of everything including passing the ball pass to [Applause] reeds back to Russell jacks up a three the three-pointer is Right On Target
Russell’s got a couple of Threes now in the first for the Lakers I I like their focus coming in terrific execution so far couldn’t come up with a much better start than this they just have to keep it going Bridges misses uhuh team’s rebounding is a great measure of its
Energy and theirs has been terrific here in the first quarter and the ball goes out of bounds last Touch by James and some changes here for the Hornets Nick Richards he’s checked in for Williams Miller comes in for oir and Smith subbed in for ball and now let’s take a look
Again at that incredible rejection and big defensive plays like that will help them stay in control of this One Hornets Trail by 15 Miller kicks to Smith back to Miller six to shoot Washington that’s for two off the left rim and out Los Angeles leading by 15 right wing here’s Vincent James outside oh good with the triple Charlotte has gone 0 four from three-point land to start out looking cold from
Outside pass to Bridges back to Smith shoots Charlotte again missing normally he drains [Applause] that defended by bridges over Miller and LeBron James gets it to go James has got seven points in the game you know it’s got to be tough to win when you give the other
Team second and third opportunities to score the ball Bridges passes to Richards kicks to Smith over Vincent he can’t hit that time and the Lakers will go the other way with it getting their first look of the Season at this Hornets team and with this match up being an East versus West Affair
It’ll be the first of only two meetings between the teams as a player these ones are fun you get to match up with guys you rarely see now here’s Bridges he’s gotten some minutes but nothing on the board yet just good at drawing fouls Bridges plays well in traffic and
Through the contact the Hornets shooting their third and fourth free throw shots of the night yeah looking over their percentage on the season I think they will be thrilled with the number in terms of their free throw percentage 79 and that one Falls for Bridges I tell you Bridges you see the athleticism the improving skill set and the instincts are coming along radish he’s checked in for Los Angeles he’s perfect from the line This Time 116 left in the first quarter of the game inside here’s wood a good finish at the rack off the slick fiet and the Lakers lead by 17 really seizing the momentum of this game but doing it with a methodical approach they
Haven they are just playing to their strengths and building this lead out well how to fight here’s bridg gets the three-pointer to fall to stay connected to him on the perimeter able to himself whatever the defense tosses at Curry against Brunson here’s reddish and the pass toim
Mur the layup misses boy surprise team missed that the defense just good enough to prevent that bucket here’s wood here’s Curry Tooney it’s Trail by 14 6 seconds separating the shot in game clocks Miller surveying the floor pass to Bridges five to shoot over Vincent Bridges misses from Deep three Point range and
The last second attempt doesn’t fall D’Angelo Russell getting it done for the Los Angeles Lakers he notched eight points in the quarter and has that terrific basketball Instinct on display and we’ll be right back after this and so far through one quarter it’s been a lopsided game we’ll see if that
Changes here in the second and for the Lakers this has been the game they wanted to have what we saw in that first quarter they won their matchups defensively making it as difficult as possible for the offense to find clean looks great stuff Hornet Trail by 14 we’ve got
D’Angelo Russell reddish out there with Hatchy mura then there’s Davis that’s the group for the Lakers to start the second quarter Miller no l and so it’s Davis he’ll bring the ball up for the Lakers 17 points was their biggest margin they can look forward to the American Airline Center after this
Game they’ll match up against Dallas they hit the road with that the first of a five-game run roier he’s checked in for Charlotte ball comes in for smith here’s ball [Applause] that’s good for his third bucket now three for six from the field he’s really a smart offensive player you have to
Respect Ball’s strong sense for when to take that jumper that was the 2K drive as that move deserves another look and no quit just keep playing the right way stay aggressive and try to battle back now here’s reddish he’s still scoreless so far in this one here’s
Davis the rebound by lamelo ball Hornets Trail by 12 second quarter of basketball about one minute played so far and it’s in there and he’s doing everything he can offensively to lift them out of this hole but I’m not sure his hot shooting can do it alone now here’s
Reddish shot clock at five from 13 that’s [Applause] tipped we about a minute and a half into the second quarter now ball the bounce Pass Hayward outside fires the three and it’s Anthony Davis with the rebound Davis has got his seventh rebound here tonight kcks it to reddish we’re now about 2 minutes into the second quarter Russell against ball back to Hatchy Mur shoots over Washington here’s Davis and a lot of contact on that one
So he’ll shoot two here it’s going to go on Gordon Hayward Davis definitely wants to be better from here he knows that he can improve on his percentage from the line hey Richard for a while teams went smaller uh they became quicker now we’re seeing some teams go big playing two
Sometimes three seven Footers in the lineup it’s amazing shoot yeah there’s always a pendulum swing once it goes too small then all of a sudden the pendulum swings back and now everyone is looking for size but you have to have size that can also stretch the floor because teams
Need guys that can rebound that’s what they’re looking for and the Hornets making a change here Williams is checked In and the second free throw [Applause] good Hornets Trail by 11 Hayward outside back to ball no one near him and Charlotte again with the bucket it really exemplifies who Hayward is a team player someone who enjoys spotting his open teammate here’s Reeds he has five Rell feeling it out of bit reddish
Finds Russell here’s Davis down to five on the shot clock excellent D there from Williams and imagine how good they’ll look if he can start to chip in a bit more offensively and they recover It here’s Hayward two free throws coming up and they call the shooting F putting defenders in tough spots is a trait of hayward’s game I mean he gets his man on the back foot and forces him to either foul or give up the easy one first trip to the free throw line for
Him in this one free throw good from Hayward and what you love about Hayward the all-around ability scores facilitates rebounds and does so with consistency LeBron’s checked in for Cameron redish Hayward hits them both so timeout called here the first four Los Angeles adjustments are a part of the game and
The coach sees something he doesn’t like here yeah this is a good opportunity to get your group together and make sure everyone is on the same page here in the second quarter about three minutes played Russell passes to Reeves back to Russell and here is Vanderbilt to the
Paint trying to get open his Davis and that one’s good Russell Russell got 10 with a gentle touch inside Russell really improving as a finisher and now in the final year of his contract D’Angelo Russell trying to get back to that Allstar level and the promise that got him that last four-year
Deal and after a lackluster performance in last year’s playoff Russell has making up to do yeah and the efficiency has been a problem if you’re a player who’s primary value is at the offensive end you can’t just be a volume score First free throw is good they’ve hit every one of their free throws here in the second quarter very important when you’re trailing that’s also good so he hits both free throws Lakers leading by Seven LeBron kicks to Russell to the inside here’s Davis and the rebound goes to the horn hor this game is finished they’ll be off to Portland taking on the Trail Blazers and they’re playing through a string of road games that will be game five of the
Six on the road look the defense was locked in on him there they know how dangerous he can be and they guarded him perfectly passes it to Russell fires it up more for nine from the floor with that Mi he’s cooled down a little bit after draining those two three-pointers
In the first quarter award finds ball Charlotte moving it around to the middle and Davis sends it back and it’s out of bounds the Hornets able to retain possession [Applause] here clock at four ball the pass to Richards can’t get it to fall and it’s Russell with the ball
He’ll bring it up for Los Angeles 17 points was their biggest Margin kicks it out to James and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line now nobody spends more time in the paint than LeBron James he knows he’s going to get the contact and he still goes in there this is his first chance
At the line tonight take a break and the free throws have been dropping for him at a rate of about 77% on the season that one is off I think everybody knows how good LeBron James is but the thing that makes it remarkable is the longevity of his talent and he is still
Leading the way for his Team and he’s good on the second and they’re really getting more points at the free throw line here in the second quarter pass to ro here back to Hayward Russell against ball unloads and once again Off the Mark by Charlotte a good job by him on the glass
Here tonight plus eight in that department and let’s head over to the sideline and catch up with David aldri thanks very much the Lakers are of course one of the league story franch es Magic Johnson was asked recently if they have the best alltime collection of players he says it’s not even close
Outside of Bill we have all the dominant closers Kobe Jerry LeBron now worthy come on now it’s just too many Lakers Kevin back to you he’s got a point David and we thank you for your report here’s Russell following the basket by lamelo Bal James
No good and here’s sh they’re on a 12 to four run Hayward can hit Los Angeles leading by six Reeves the pass to LeBron no good and he’s three of six from the floor Charlotte’s gone 0 or two from Deep here in the center oir for three the offensive
Rebound Richards great D that time from Davis Los Angeles has gone five of 10 from down down tonight 50% exactly and out of bounds as the Hornets gain possession a classic breakdown with the ball sending it right out of bounds and giving the defense a freeb and Los
Angeles with some changes Christian Wood comes in for Anthony Davis and it’s Gabe Vincent in for D’Angelo Russell Bridges he’s checked in for the Hornets Smith comes in for ball and that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the foul and rosier’s not one to be afraid
To take things into his own hands he’ll get inside and get physical when he has to even if it means taking on the Contact two shots last on the first first one Falls for him you know and every year it just seems like roier gets better you see his Drive the hunger the desire to keep improving Miller’s checked in for Charlotte and that’s good as he hits both of his shots Lakers leading by four the pass dares here’s Vincent nothing yet on the scoreboard for him and the call will be against Gabe Vincent that’s his first foul yeah way to get there first and be willing to absorb the contact and so here’s
Charlotte their defense has only allowed four points in the quarter Bridges passes to Williams he gets that one they’re consistently finding ways to get the ball inside and taking full advantage and he’s got his first chance at the line here and up to this point on
The season he set a pace of right around 73% when he gets to the Line shooting one and that one Falls for Williams the Lakers in the lead pass to Rees here’s Vincent covered by Smith here’s James look at that play right there wow the fact that LeBron James can still do that at 100 years old like it’s a travesty that he never particip ated in
The D contest and a look at the mobile one drive driving right into your living room he’s been a huge factor in this game and drives like that show how valuable he is on the floor roier against LeBron six on the shot Clock that’s a two from Smith the Lakers with the rebound chaines has got his fourth Rebound with that last one here tonight I wonder what the score would be if they weren’t controlling the backboard here’s Reeds he’s got five LeBron passes to Wood over Williams wood can’t hit it’s picked
Off here’s Vincent defended by Bridges they get a hand on it passes it to vanderville Lays it up and Banks it in rer got six and guys they continue to put a lot of pressure on the interior Defenders with their work down low roier with the ball 24o outing in their last game against the Clippers in Los Angeles and even while he was piling
Up all those points he still found a way to create chances for his teammates the assists just kept on coming here’s Vincent following the three by Charlotte pass to James here’s Vincent back to James the pass to Wood here’s Vincent covered by Smith James no good slow going for him this
Quarter the defense putting up a good fight Bridges kicks to Smith there’s Miller with the three and James pulls it down LeBron’s got his fifth rebound right now in the game Vincent a second chance effort and the call on the shot it sends him to the
Line that’s on mil bridges yeah good job to take it right right at the D the Lakers have made two and missed two at the line tonight take a break take a break two shots and the first one at the line is good Washington’s checked in for the Hornets so he gets him both now Smith he had a 15-point outing in their last game against the Clippers in Los Angeles Williams passes to Miller now here is Smith Vanderbilt with the rebound Lakers leading by four now here is hchi muray he had 10 points in the win against the kings in
Sacramento and he gets the whistle for the 3 second call Los Angeles making a switch here Rish is checked in waret trail by four TI tight one 58 left now here in the second to the paint hey yo right here here’s Williams Pander with the rebound Vanderbilt got his seventh rebound here
Tonight Vincent the pass to reddish pass to Vincent from downtown finally gets one to fall he’s now one for five with his first mate HCK works well there not much resistance from the deep yeah that just comes down to a lack of effort the defender has to do a
Better job fighting through the screen now here is Smith his scoring has been there on a regular basis he’s averaging more than 14 points a game covered by Miller kicks it to reddish just find to shoot goes up at the strike that one off the back iron and out Hornets Trail by
Seven Miller inside that one goes count it Miller’s got his second basket of the night Los Angeles has gone one of four from three-point range in the second not a whole lot dropping out there for them passes to R shoots over Bridges they get it back and the dunk by
Haim mura and his coaches and teammates love that they want Haim Moore getting after it more on that offensive glass now here is Miller he has five 8sec difference between the shot clock and the game clock here’s Williams whistle blows bucket is good and he’ll have a chance
At the line to make it a three-point play and boy has he picked it up since the start of the second his shots now starting to fall and this is his second trip to the line Tonight and that one Falls for Williams 16 seconds left from the first half of the Game here’s Vincent he has five here’s wood and that one clearly a foul gets the whistle and two shots coming up such a difficult assignment wood can create some serious matchup problem the Lakers have gone four of six so far from the line missing a couple Take a break take a break two Shots free throw good wood with the size and athleticism and the potential that he showed at the college level it was mindblowing that Christian would when Undrafted no good on the second free Throw Miller outside and that shot was up in time but doesn’t go in and a close game so far through the first two quarters as we reach halftime Lakers ahead leading by five and we’ll be back right after halftime to get the third quarter underway it’s the 2K sports halime
Show hey everybody tremendous first half glad to have you back Ernie Johnson Shaquille O’Neal Kenny The Jet Smith it’s the Lakers out on top at halftime they have a five-point lead Kenny how’ you see it you have to recognize their bench play sometimes we Overlook the second unit but tonight they’ve been the
Key the coaching staff has got to be loving this getting that extra boost is huge Shaq let’s get your Insight on Charlotte fellas just a total lack of effort of the boys I’m not getting Tech I never really do this is all about har if they were better in that area
They’d probably be winning this game I’m just saying and that’s a wrap with the third quarter approaching we now send you back to Kevin and the crew we’ve got second half action for you and if the next couple quarters are similar to the first this one could go
Down to the last possession man we’re seeing a tremendous game from lamelo ball no problems fighting his way to the rim in this one a lot of points in close and you love that mindset he has going at The Rim he hasn’t settled for anything and he’s been the aggressor all game
Long and in that first half we saw a pretty tight battle we’ll soon find out what sort of adjustments were discussed during the half tipping off the second half here’s Steve Clifford’s five roir on the wing along with Hayward Williams is out there with Bridges and it’s ball in at the one
Spot and that kind of stifling effort on defense needs another look sharp instincts on D there just timing when to rise up and SWAT that one [Applause] away Los Angeles leading by five here’s Russell and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here and although he’s still a new kid on the Block he’s very crafty and Russell does a great job of just frustrating the defense there the Lakers
Have gone five of eight from the charity strip here tonight and team free throw numbers really about as good as you could ask for around 80% on the season the first one [Applause] Falls so one for two that time at the Strike Hayward against trussle right side ball LeBron against roir over James and it’s roir missing he is singlehandedly dropping the temperature in here with that cold Street yeah right now he’s just in his own head not much you can do to try and push through it now here is Russell five on the
Clock Los Angeles keeps it going the new 14se second shot clock and bears a whistle that goes on Terry roier that’s his first [Applause] foul Here in this third quarter just over a minute Play here’s James and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two at the free throw line and LeBron used to getting hit this is the level of attention this man attracts from the deep he shot two free throws in the game made one and missed one free throw good [Applause] James
And so he hits both and so it’s ball who brings the ball up for the Hornets eight-point game puts it up from 12 and the shot is long and and they have built their advantage on the scoreboard here by doing all the little things Vanderbilt Bridges with some nice defense Hornets Trail by
Eight and here is roier he’s got six back to ball takes the three it’s all in by LeBron James has got his six rebound on the night is it possible to rest too much because he hasn’t been able to get to a Groove since coming back in got that one to go
Okay now one for four to start the second half some tough offensive sets they want to turn it around yeah right now you just need a bucket to get some momentum heward the bounce pass ticked away it’s stolen by [Applause] Davis down low and it’s Davis with the
Jam when the brow gets up you better get out the way there’s not many people with that length and that athleticism ball kicks to Williams pass to roier well we’re into the third quarter just over two and 1/2 minutes play bridges for three get it Williams dishes to Bridges the pass to
Hayward shot clock get three over James Hayward can’t hit and that is a textbook example of how to defend your Rim this is why he’s out there in situations like this he stands tall to prevent points here’s Davis and they have their chances two offensive rebounds but they still come up at
The Hayward on the wing pass to roier looking to and the run that shot off and the Lakers going the other way now 17 points was their biggest margin James against ball the second effort and it’s Davis laying it in out Davis has got 10 points in the game they’ve shown some strength
In the paint today their work on the boards has been impressive Charlotte calls timeout definitely not pleased with with their rebounding at the defensive end the number of putbacks they’ve allowed has been terrible I’m sure that’s what he’s going to address during this timeout Christian Woods checked in for Los Angeles in the third quarter with just over three and a half minutes off the clock here’s ball and Davis sends it back and for the ball out of bounds Davis touched it last Hornets Trail by 14 inside oh a nice defensive play to
Disrupt the Aly ball going up Court out of bounds Charlotte takes possession Charlotte’s gotten off to a very slow start from three-point range in the second half they’re 0 for four ball against Russell ball with the bucket coming off a big game his confidence couldn’t be
Higher and coach knows it when it ain’t broke leave it alone until someone stops him just let him roll that was a second look at our Mobile One Drive amazing control on display there is no let up in this man he is doing everything in his power to keep this game close offensive
Rebound wood and finished off by wood it’s plays like these why wood has been given so much more opportunity his motor just never stops Running roier with the ball he’s got six passes it to Bridges lock at six the Hornets need to get a shot off here and the three off Target shocking that he just brick that one the defense got real lucky there LeBron passes to Russell from Deep here’s wood and finished off by
Wood well Woods reach and vertical is an effective combination he gets up over the defense so easily roir for three that falls nice feed that time from ball roers have got nine points nice ball movement there delivered the pass right on time outside Russell here’s reees knock down the
Three ball he’s got eight and an eye for an eyee both teams working to stretch the floor this is today’s NBA hey we see this kind of exchange more often than not now here’s Hayward he averages more than 12 points a game that’s some Dependable production Bridges
Outside triying to answer back but that three is Off the Mark he’s just basically a body out there right now nothing else the team is struggling and he hasn’t been able to help them out at all throw it high and watch Davis fly wow here’s time out he’s got 18
Charlotte calls timeout you look at James what a contribution well he’s been destroying them inside and they need a timeout to figure out an answer or a prayer if there is One [Applause] Both teams will make substitutions so it’s the Hornets now they Trail by 18 and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up I tell you what he earned his money on that foul this is his first free throw of the game shooting two that free throw good from Washington That one is no good Los Angeles leading by 17 Davis the pass to James Lakers passing it around and it’s slammed in by Davis uhoh everything is going ad’s way he is in the that zone and scoring at a terrific Pace now here’s B he’s got 18 Rell against Smith back to
Ball and again the Hornets missing and they had some boxed coverage that turned into no coverage outs it up for Davis the alley PL very well done as strong and offensive pres St you’ll find ad presents more problems than his opponent has answers to it here’s Richards still
Getting warmed up offensively no scoring hit from him that one drops for him no settling for an outside shot there they went right to the hoop LA’s gone one of four in three-point shots here in the third pass to LeBron Davis with it now the pass to
Wood from down in the low post it goes Woods got six points in the quarter yeah the chemistry has been terrific really impressed with their offensive execution now Bal he’s had his share of big nights at the offensive end that’s for sure his scoring average is at 18 points a game
Shot clock at six charity smart shot Anthony Davis grabs the Miss and he’s really trying to get them back into it but the results just have not been there and finish Dr by wood I love Davis’s ability to read the floor he’s improving his ability to create for others and it’s Smith with
The ball he brings it up for the Charlotte Hornets in the corner it’s Hayward shoots the three it’s hauled in by Los Angeles Woods got his fifth rebound right now in the game and he’s fouled pretty hard on that shot but he’s got the chance to pick up
The points at the line lamelo ball picks one up and what do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for Los Angeles two shots on the first and he knocks down the first one and they didn’t shoot it very well from the line in the first half but they’ve
Gotten much better since halftime and it’s helped them to secure the lead looking at who’s out there now for the Lakers Hatcher is checked in for Anthony Davis reddish comes in for LeBron and Vincent subed in for Russell and a switcher also for Charlotte Miller’s checked in for
Ball both good from the line that time good job bringing that free throw percentage up here in the second half doing a great job at the line they’ve been struggling here on offense yeah bit of a dry spell for sure Hayward outside lock at
Six and the call is going to be yes yes it is an illegal screen when a pick like that is questionable and creates that much of an advantage for the offense you have to blow the whistle you got to blow the whistle when it’s that obvious great call there by the official here’s
Vincent they lead by the biggest margin of the game 25 to the inside 7 foot shot and it’s finished off inside by reddish reddish has got his first basket of the night not a lot of resistance on the inside and they’re taking full advantage Miller outside and the officials calling for a
3se second violation oh costly error there we’ll see how they rebound from that miscue well they don’t have time to dwell on that they just need to learn from their mistakes and move forward next play Los Angeles has gone outside a lot tonight 17 times in fact seven of
17 here’s Vincent covered by Smith Vincent the pass to Wood pass to Vincent goes back up and it’s off the back rim no good and for the Hornets they’re shooting a pretty pretty sorry 29% from the floor here here’s Miller and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here that one goes on Wood take a break take a break two Shots that free throw good from Miller both free throws good for Miller Los Angeles has gone one of four in three-point shots here in the third here’s Vincent covered by Smith Vincent misses well he better buy his teammates dinner tonight cuz they covered him for what has been a terrible absolute terrible shooting to SP it’s
Almost as if there’s a lid on the hoop for him right now he still hasn’t gotten one to fall in the quarter covered by Smith passes it to Wood now Hatchy M four on the shot clock over Washington misses off the left eyon AI M’s gone one of four so
Far here’s Miller and he could not get that one to go lot of contact and he’ll go to the line for Two take a break take a break two shots that free throw good from Miller Vander builds checked in for Vincent the Hornets also with a sub Martins checked in that one Falls so he hits both of them 112 left to play here in the third pass to haty
Mura and there’s the pass to vanderville now here’s reddish not a lot of room with the second effort and the layups good off the glass reddish has got four points the quarter I’m sorry that’s poor defense down low again it’s been a mismatch thus far in the
Paint now here is Smith he’s got five and looks like the illegal pick was set yep that’s right that’ll get their attention uh beyond the Leaning you could see his feet weren’t set on that screen easy call look guys get away with this all the time but on this occasion
He got caught looking at who’s out there now for the hor Bridges comes in for Washington and Terry rier subbed in for Cody Martin and the call on the shot that sends him to the line the Lakers have made 10 of their 14 tries at the free throw line in the
Game two two No good on the free throw and he sinks the second here’s Smith Five Points in the game we’ve got a 9-second difference between the shot clock and the game clock Miller dishes to Bridges now here’s roier guarded by reddish Bridges no one around him hits it from three-point range Bridges has
Got five capable of scorching you from the perimeter when Bridges has a great look he takes advantage and he drops in the layup off the glass big miscommunication on defense he recognizes it and quickly takes advantage yeah they got to do a much better job of putting a little bit
Of pressure on him on his way to the hoop roier for three offt Target with that shot and so it’s the Los Angeles Lakers holding a very comfortable 25-point lead as the quarter comes to a close their defense has been active and effective we’ve got more in store for you right after This and a chance right now to show you our State Farm assist of the game and the definition of teamwork right there guys I mean what great communication between them and what a beautiful feed serving it up on a platter that is a beautiful dish and two teammates on the same page Woo and as we head into the fourth we’ll see if there’s a comeback in the works or if it’s more of the same from the first three quarters torian Prince is up there with ruy hachimura then it’s Jackson hay then it’s Cameron reddish that’s the Laker five launches it it’s
Rebounded by Charlotte Bridges has got five rebounds tonight Miller that’s for two and no good that time so Los Angeles will take it the other way on and for coach’s challenges the refs review their own calls it’s a little like grading your own test maybe Greg
Give that job to the review center you you definitely risk a confirmation bias and everyone wants to be right it does seem like some call stand that probably could be reversed and look he’s not the best athlete but he’s able to create the space he needs to operate pass to Hayes Prince against
Bridges Prince up top six on the shot clock lets it go with a three Fades and shoots yep that one goes in there continuing to show activity on the offensive glass Second Chance buckets have been huge Miller outside pass to madok here’s Naji knocks it loose and pushing it up here’s Los
Angeles and Hayes throws it down that’s a double Landing guys that’s right a great defensive play then the impa stuff once he poked it away you knew what was on his mind now here’s m it up Jones with the bounce pass and there’s the whistle illegal screen yeah they’re starting to go in
The wrong direction in terms of turnovers it’s slowly becoming a problem so an almost entirely new group in now for Charlotte and so it’s Heim mura who brings up the ball for the Lakers a great fourth quarter just giving up two points there’s Russell with the three
Hayward grabs the board oh man for whatever reason he can’t get it going from three and he’s pretty good from there as you go back and look at the last few seasons RJ it seems like team success has largely been predicated on health do you feel like that has always
Been the case I don’t remember there being as many injuries early in my career even with guys that were playing all 82 games but you’re right recently we’ve seen a lot of key injuries and look this is my theory before players used to get away from the game a little
Bit take a couple of months off now players are staying in shape 247 like they never take a break and I think that’s why we might be seeing players break down a little bit more yes or no answer too many games at 82 in the regular season should we less than them
Don’t you ever ask me that question give me 82 I’d rather you bump it to 83 just to remove all doubt take a break take a break two shots and he makes the first and some changes here for the Lakers Gabriel’s checked in and Vincent subbed in for D’Angelo Russell Washington’s checked in
For the Hornets Cody Martin comes in for Bridges And that one goes in two from the line that time so it’s the Lakers now here we pass to Reeds here’s Gabriel and we’re about 3 minutes into the fourth quarter to the left wing here’s Haim mura will not go this is off the front
IR it hasn’t been his best game but his team is still doing just enough to be up Hayward finds roier outside ball the pass to Washington Charlotte no good that time either power to to figure out how he doesn’t knock that one down no defender in sight over to the
Wing here’s Vincent covered by Martin here’s haty Mur four on the clock here’s Vincent here’s Davis and there’s two points working on the glass paying off that time Davis is got 12 points in just the second half outside Martin roir up top and Davis sends it back here’s Reeves roier defending pass
To Gabriel lets it go from deep and that one Falls coming off of davis’ feed Davis has got three assists now in this one coats have gone one of five from the the field here in the fourth a lot of Misses just the one m and Hayward at the
Stuff and there’s one aspect of the game lamelo’s not going to ignore keeping his teammates involved and the offense working as a unit here’s Vincent and it’s aim Murray in the corner fls it up for Davis and it’s Davis with the JB and the definition of teamwork right
There on that alley and great what about the Finish bringing it down with some yeah ball no good and the defense was all over him once he got in close didn’t want him to get too comfortable that one Falls 22 points for Davis boy you have to be impressed with the offensive
Production they have got it firing on all cylinders they’ve had great execution and what stands out is that they’re just taking what the defense gives them not forcing anything here’s ball following the basket by Anthony Davis And here is ball shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws last season of course Marcus Smart on the defensive player of the year you know Greg it’s rird to see a guard win it should perimeter players get more consideration from this point
On it’s tough keev I I do think they should and I think the the numbers though tend to favor the rim protectors but it’s only right to recognize great defense at every position especially in an age of position basketball the first free throw is good Jones checked in for Gordon Hayward ball hits them both here’s Vincent to the wing on the left passes it to Rees here’s Gabriel down low and that one’s good haimura and this has been a great job of just getting into the middle of that defense and really scoring effectively from the paint and good that time and
When it comes to moving the ball lamelo is unreal can make any pass in the book pass to Reeds here’s Vincent he’s covered by ball Vincent the pass to Davis Martin against haty m and Jones sends it back and here’s the fast break Paul leading the Way outside Martin the pass to roier back to Martin outside ball count it from 12 BS got four points in the quarter I tell you what what a good thing that he showed up today because without him this thing would already be over here’s Vincent he’s covered by ball
Vincent the pass to Gabriel shoots over Washington Davis it’s good on the footb in the second half we seen him refocus his shooting much fewer wasted possessions outside Martin pass to Jones roier for for three that one no good and the Lakers will go the other way with it inside here’s Reeves roier
Defending hachimura against Jones Davis kicks to Hatchi mura hats in there Davis with the assist Davis has got his fourth assist with that last one here tonight the hornets have gone four of 10 here in the final period at the time to go cold passes it to
Roier looking to get back on track here two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul that one on Davis shooting two and he makes the first and some changes here for the Hornets Miller’s checked in for roir and it’s madon in for ball he hits one then misses the second attempt from the free throw line RJ I remember it clearly when LeBron James joined the Lakers back in
2018 yeah I remember it too because everyone kept asking me where he was going I didn’t know but this is year five for LeBron in LA and obviously even with that 2020 title this town they ask for more and three of these years have been Rocky two of the Times missing the
Postseason in a first round exit the first one of bronze career yeah LeBron is not used to that at all is he not playing in the postseason NOP two the first one Falls he free throws good from reddish Charlotte’s betting off to an 0 for two start from downtown here in the fourth
Quarter Martin against Prince outside Martin back to Miller over reddish Miller no up let’s just say his subpar shooting is just one reason why they are trailing in this ball game Vincent misses B Hornet shooting The Pedestrian 36 % in the fourth quarter the offense not doing their best work of late here’s
Madon basket counts madan’s got four points this quarter well we’ve seen that movie a few times haven’t we an easy bucket in the paint pass to reddish here’s Vincent he dishes it to Prince there’s the pass to Vincent down to five on the shot clock and they’ll get another chance yet
Another possession they’ve managed to hold on to they are really in control on offense carries it from three-point range brish has got nine points now in just the second half yet no question who’s been the aggressor on the offensive glass madon passes to Martin and here is madon here’s
Washington misses off the right ey smart accurate passes Greg are really paying off for them at the moment and also good off ball movement everyone is paying attention and looking to create the best shot for the team now here’s reddish back to Prince three-pointer here’s Gabriel LS it up
Off the glass there he is beasting on the glass converting the opportunity trying to put this game away always giving Max effort on on the glass taking everything they’ll give him here is Miller 158 left to play in the final quarter Martin against Prince they grabed their own
Miss and the basket by Jones he’s got a knack for those putbacks so you have to be aware of that defensively get a body on him here’s Vincent passed to reddish Prince with it here’s Gabriel to the right side here’s Vincent kept alive yeah just nice hustle
There that work gets them the extra possession to the middle second shot opportunity and it’s finished off inside by reddish reddish has got seven points here in this quarter and so it’s going to end up in the record books as a blowout a dominating performance for Los Angeles it was a standout performance
Across the board I mean it was like watching a cat play with a mouse they were able to do more or less whatever they want it so looking at the season total this will be their 17th win and so they’ll take the first first game of the
Season series a team they’ll only see twice they’re certainly happy to start it off with a win the one player that really stands out of course in this one it was a dazzling game for Anthony Davis the work he put in on the glass help shape this game never taking a play off
And closing out a number of possessions and credit the whole team it was a focused concerted effort to put this one away and it felt like they just flipped the switch to go on that run and seal the game saving their best basketball for the end always smart now here is
Martin back to Jones Martin finds Jones and they call the foul so a chance at the line for one more coming up I like the intention the focus finding a way to make it work inside mind the lanes mind the lanes one Shot 17 seconds left in the fourth quarter of this one here’s Vincent so it’s Los Angeles winning this one easy they ped on tonight dominant showing in front of the crowd that love every minute of it and you know this game could really be a defining one for what they can do when they are playing at their best I mean being here at home
No doubt helps and the execution was Flawless thank you for joining us that’ll do it for now this is Kevin Harland saying thank you for watching so long everyone for
