New Orleans PELICANS vs Sacramento KINGS – NBA 2K24
One butterflies or is it just me no I’m I’m right there with you partner it the anticipation has been brewing for months nothing like opening night now let’s take a look at the starters for New Orleans sharing the wing spots it’s Jones and Ingram underneath in the post
It’s Williamson and Bon junis and it’s McCullum in at the point guard now Jones Harrison Barnes missing on the three here’s Ingram that’s in coming off the assist from McCullum you just love how reliable he is night in and night out his offense is there sabonis kicks to Fox and he’s good
On the three ball and that quick shot by Fox is something you know he has worked on religiously nice finish Allen JIS trying to free himself up here’s dwarte it’s up a three and another three for Sacramento and you really can’t fault the defense that’s how you’re supposed to guard against the
Three-point shot good D just better oh now here’s McCullum Ingram here’s valent chunis and there’s two points working on the glass paying off that timeo physicality from valent Tunis on the glass securing the ball and sending it right back sabonis the pass to Barnes now here’s [Applause] Fox and Jones pulls it down I’ll tell you what I think he thought that was going in I sure did pass to Ingram from 18 ft away good looking silky smooth there I like watching Brandon Ingram use the mid-range area last stting for second Sacramento they won that game
Against the Raptors Barnes sets a screen for sabonis he dishes it to Barnes deep two from Murray task it is good the assist from Barnes the Pelicans have gone three of five shooting the ball so far pass to Ingram and barn sends it back here’s Murray and that’ll be two
Free throws coming up officials on the call with the foul boy doesn’t Mike Brown GA deserve a lot of credit for the king’s recent success he’s been terrific I mean bringing that Championship pedigree from Golden State Brown went to the finals as the head coach in Cleveland and one of
The best people in the league as well first one Falls for there is no question Greg this Pelicans roster has the talent to at least be a playoff Contender every year and no doubt a contender their problem has been staying healthy they have a big three but Ingram
And Williamson didn’t play in half the games during that 2223 campaign and so Murray Nails both of them and last season Greg the Kings clenched their first Pacific Division title in 20 years and they repeated as division champs back in 02 and 03 something they’re hoping to achieve
Again this year as the Kings build off of their breakout season Williamson finds Ingram Ingram can’t get that one to fall Sacramento leading by four sabonis the pass to Fox back to [Applause] sabonis solid play on the low block and that one’s good they’ve wasted no time settling into their offense right side
Jones passes to McCullum Ingram outside launches it and it’s Sacramento with the rebound I mean all period it’s been a struggle for him scoring the [Applause] ball outside sabonis balls knocked loose and stolen by Williamson first quarter play and just over 3 and 1/2 minutes in second shot opportunity and he sinks
The layup what energy from Zion on the offensive glass saving the play and finishing it himself barns screen on valent junis sabonis the pass to Barnes another three for Sacramento and they don’t want to get in a habit of giving him open looks from three first quarter still but not who
You want to leave open now here’s Jones nothing on the board here’s Ingram can’t hit that one good d by Barnes he’s had a tough time getting it going and he’s put this team by behind the eightball sabonis against valent junis sabonis the pass tote and here’s Barnes
For three does not find the basket his second Miss he’s now one for three they need a bucket in a big way here to regain some confidence Jones sets the pick from McCullum and it goes down two points now here’s Fox [Applause] over McCullum it’s rebounded by New Orleans
They traveled to Sacramento last time they faced the Kings and came away with a win and really brought an impressive physicality to that matchup drawing a ton of fouls and of course went on to win it they forced the issue and made the defense hack them to death last game
I’m sure they’ll try to mirror that same attack in this one and so Murray with it he brings it up for the Kings leading by five again the Miss by the Kings you’re not going to see that bar often plenty of space but he just let’s face it he
Whiffs on that and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here Harrison Barnes picks one up each year Brandon becomes a little more assertive at the offensive end and we know he has the talent and a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for the king
They came out firing from Deep it’s always good for a team’s confidence when you can start a game that hot and it seems they’ve also put an emphasis on moving the ball working to rotate around the defense and find those quality looks the first one Falls with continued hard
Work Brandon Ingram in my opinion has the talent and size and skill to be a top 10 player in this league [Applause] Gold free throws good for Ingram we’ve seen him put a lot of pressure on the defense and then cash in at the line here’s the pass to
Orte in the corner it’s sabonis offt Target from three-point range Pelicans Trail by three loads from 13 and it’s in there taking full advantage of the space he can find McCullum pulls right up pass toward pass to [Applause] sabonis uses the glass to finish the layup sabonis has got his second bucket
Of the night even with the contest sabonis Powers through refusing to be denied here’s McCullum dwte grabs the board Kings leading Now by [Applause] three outside Fox sabonis with the bucket yeah instinctively too Fox there looking to be a ball mover a facilitator and that’s one reason why his team is
Playing well now here’s McCullum he had a 12-point outing in their last game against the clipp and it wasn’t just the points he brought hustle he brought energy and he brought it on the glass he’s hot this quarter getting the shots he wants and he’s delivering and there’s a foul it’s on CJ
Mullum that is his first foul of The Game Malik monk he’s checked in for fox and a change for the Pelicans Trey Murphy’s checked in for Zion Williamson monk kicks to Barnes good ball movement here by the Kings Marie finds a bonus Ingram with ited Now by Barnes here’s Valen chunis and that’s
Good a nice job in the glass as they pick up two on the second nothing and he’s pretty Relentless inside valent Tunis gets after it down low it might not always look pretty but he makes the most of his chances in the paint and a fast break now for the Pelicans here’s
McCulla and two free throws coming up unable to get that one to go with all the contact that one on monk really the right plate defensively if you can’t block force them to the line New Orleans shooting their third and fourth free throw shots of the night shooting
Two and it’s tied up with that one CJ McCullum is the kind of player any team would love to have he does so many things well and they now lead as the free throw drops for him the Kings have gone seven to 13 just over 50% from the floor some good
Looks M call him against [Applause] Monk sabonis Is screen on Ingram here’s Barnes the 10-footer finds the target Barnes has got five now silky smooth Jay from Barnes the defense was on him but he just uses his pitcher perfect form and outstanding reach to get the job done now here’s McCullen
Eight points for him and plenty of contact on the shot so two free throws coming up and the Sacramento Kings get called for the foul I tell you what he earned his money on that foul this is his second trip to the free throw line and going back to his numbers from just
A season ago he was knocking it down at a 77% clip take a break take a break two shots and the first one drops Kevin herder he’s checked in for the Kings Mitchell comes in for dwar J and the Pelicans making a change here as well Alvarado’s checked
In and so McCullum Nails both of them for Sacramento they’ve gone eight of 14 from the field in the first quarter pass to sabonis and Jose Alvarado is going to pick up the foul that’s his first foul Daniels he’s checked in for CJ McCollum got a piece of Alvarado with the
Steel whle blows bucket is good and he’ll have a chance at the line to make it a three-point play and taking a quick look here at the hustle stats for the Pelicans for me they’re turning defense into offense creating opportunities by taking the ball away great effort and also how
About the way they decimated the opposition on the offensive glass getting an impressive number of Second Chance points free throw good Alvarado here’s Mitchell and the pass to hder here’s Murr puts up a deep three sinks it what range from outside wow Murray’s got seven points nice look from Kevin intelligent and unselfish
Pass to Daniels he feeds it to valenines well time pass and he goes straight to the bucket for the layup he’s got six and they’ve done well at taking advantage of some late defensive rotations and getting the ball in the paint Mitchell kicks to [Applause] monk pass to
Sabonis over Valen junis and the Kings check on two [Applause] more and Ingram has got the ball here for the New Orleans Pelicans passes it to Alvarado there’s a good screen for the three and it’s Sacramento with the rebound and they have a narrow edge here in rebounding early on and you
Wonder what kind of a role that’s going to play moving forward and Trey Murphy gets the whistle that time that’s his first foul and some changes here for the Kings javil McGee checked in for sabonis Trey lyes comes in for Murray and dear and fox subin for Mitchell the Pelicans also changing
It up an comes in for jonis Valen junis and Zion Williamson subbed in for Brandon Ingram 153 left in the first Fox feeling it out a bit just five on the clock back to herder and trying for the go-ahead basket it doesn’t go in now elverado on the wing
Daniels NS a screen out of bound Sacramento will take possession a moment now to see the numbers for herder he had a strong showing last season averaged about 15 points a game three assists and three rebounds yeah he’s been making the right decisions and and letting the game
Come to him solid Play All Around he’s not trying to take over necessarily he’s just taking what the defense allows and contributing to the calls now here’s monk he picked up 15 points in their last against Toronto and it was not a Onan show that was the best
Part he had just as good a game with his passing as he did with his score Williamson the pass to Daniels Nance a screen on lions Daniels dishes to Nance Williamson with it now guarded by Monk and he’s fouled pretty hard on that shot but he’s got the chance to pick up
The points at the line the Pelicans have gone a perfect seven of seven from the line tonight shooting [Applause] two he misses the free throw yeah a lot of whistles here early as well as foul trouble starting to be an issue [Applause] Sho and the second free throw good the Kings
Trailing outside Fox it’s blocked just doing the job on the backboard throws down the Breakaway jam and a hard finish there guys yeah and only one hand needed for that one the pass to monk back to [Applause] Fox McGee sets the pick for Fox he lobs
Up the L you pass and it’s McGee with the jam and you just have to have an appreciation how under control Fox plays I like watching him work the ball through the D in that pick and roll and it’s Williamson [Applause] missing wles with it hasn’t made one yet
And it’s out of bounds to the Pelicans you got to love strong defense especially when it comes in the form of harsh rejections wow and guys that is lock down defense at its finest going right at the shot and enable to knock it away CJ McCullum he’s feeling it tonight
And has been the driving force for New Orleans he got into double digits for the quarter with 10 points total don’t go anywhere we’ll be right back is and this has been a fairly close game through the first quarter and we’ll see what happens here in the second and
Before we move on what do you guys think about what we’ve seen so far from New Orleans I mean offensively I thought they did a good job of protecting the ball and defensively boy were they disrupted winning the turnover battle here early on and you see that reflected
In the score New Orleans in the lead backourt pair is fox and monk Trey ly out there with Kevin herder and it’s mgee in at the five spot that’s the five to begin the second quarter for the Kings now here’s Fox Brian Williamson unable to get his last shot to
Go over alberado two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul and we hear so much about young players and veteran players Steve but when do you feel a player becomes a veteran is it after a year two like in your opinion what is it you know Kevin
It it differs for a lot of different reasons but I think for myself when you get that second contract you feel like you belong in the league um I think when you get over seven years in the league that’s kind of cut off to be seven years
Or more you’re definitely a vet and I really love Fox’s game he’s got a ton of room to grow but boy does he play with intensity that one drops he ties it up and so it’s Williamson who brings up the ball for the New Orleans Pelicans they
Can look forward to San Francisco after this game and a match up against Golden State that will be their second of this five-game road trip and the three ball is good and the Pelicans lead by three this is how lethal Murphy can be from downtown and why defenses must guard him tighter mcus
Screen box inside the line they get it again it’s deflected second quarter of basketball about one minute played so far here’s Williamson it’s blocked and here is Fox his last outing he had 24 points here’s monk shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws and monk is an interesting player
A combo guard with fantastic scoring potential quick on both ends of the floor the Kings have been solid at the line so far four for four and he knocks down the first one and he makes the first but misses the second and they’re getting to the line a
Lot in this quarter guys and it hasn’t been by accident out that bucket in and no time at all Daniels has got the lead up to five now for the Pelicans timeout is called First of the game for Sacramento and with an update from the sidelines let’s check in with David
Aldridge thank you guys Zion Williamson is a force to be reckoned with but coach Willie Green said he’s just scratching the surface he’s going to continue to get better over and over again he’s making the right play Kevin all right da [Applause] thanks [Applause] he [Applause]
And a moment here to look at the numbers for monk how he did last season last season he averaged 13 points a game four assists and two rebounds and to have a knockdown shooter like that coming off the bench a great asset for any coach for sure things can get stagnant without
That spark plug he always seems to supply points for them in Bunches just about a minute and a half has gone by here in the second poke loose five on the clock outside Fox here’s McGee Pelicans pull it in and it’s elverado in the corner Williamson kicks to Daniels Williamson a screen on Fox Daniels passes to Williamson and the dunk by
Williamson understands how to use pick and rolls Zion doing a great job in these sets and here in the second second quarter of action with a hir under 2 and 1/2 minutes played so far this is the shot you want to get him an open look
From rign and first time out of the game called for New Orleans and coaches looking to seize every Advantage maximize every possession critical part of the game you have to be flexible you have to be able to adjust what you’re doing come and some changes here for the Kings
Harrison Barnes comes in for Javale McGee and Chris DZ subbed in for Kevin herder Jones checked in for the Pelicans Mum comes in for Jose Alvarado here’s Jones still without a basket and so the ball’s out of bounds monk touched it last they say second quarter of play with almost three minutes
Gone Jones kicks to Williamson New Orleans moving the ball around just five to shoot and a wide open look for McCullum a shots good on the assist by Nance contributes in all categories McCullum filling up the stat sheet watching monk against Jones Pass tote back to
Fox and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up it’s going to be on Zion Williamson and we talk about Fox’s speed but he also has length he’s a factor there in the paint the king shooting their seventh and eighth free throw attempts for the game right here
The first free throw is good and didn’t have a single free throw in that first quarter but he started to play with a little bit more of an edge to his game here in the second Fox hits them both here’s McCullum he’s got [Applause] 13 and stolen by Barnes pass to [Applause]
Monk the kick out to Fox trains it from Beyond The Ark fox has got 10 points and fox must continue to work on that shot when he’s knocking it down from there boy the D is in trouble now here’s McCullum Williamson with a screen for McCullum trying to answer back but that
Three is Off the Mark here’s tte and the call on the shot that sends him to the line first trip to the free throw line for him in this one and the first one at the line is [Applause] good and it’s tied up with that one New Orleans gone three of four with
The long range bombs here in the second quarter monk against Jones passes it to n back to Jones kicks it out to Williamson hits it from three-point range seven points in the game terrific setup for Zion getting the ball when he’s already well positioned now here’s Monk and there’s the pass DTE
Shot clock at five buk for three it’s rebounded by New Orleans Williamson’s got five rebounds tonight outside Jones misses the three the Kings Trail by three pass to monk the Trey Lin NS comes up with the rebound New Orleans has gone four six from long range in the second quarter solid
Shooting kicks it to McCullum pass to Williamson and here’s Jones looking for nans and he gets it there lets it go from Deep wow came this close to a four-point play he’ll head to the line for three free throws Harrison Barnes picks one up he’s getting his first free throw attempt of
The right now 76% from the line a season agoot three shots that free throw no good you can tell herb Jones is an ambitious young player looking to add to his game and evolve so he can do more for his team the Kings making a switch here Murray is
Checked in and New Orleans also making a change Bon junis is checked in good on the second free throw [Applause] the Kings Trail by four Barnes passes to Fox and the rejection by valent junis valent junis he’s got that long Wings span you saw it right there on that play Down
Low fires the three knocks down the three ball he’s got six his second make from Beyond The Arc this quarter after hitting none in the first Fox against McCullum Sacramento again missing he’s kind of lost his way this period having a hard time getting anything to go down
And Barnes sends it back and that’s out of bounds New Orleans will retain possession Sacramento making some changes sabonis he’s checked in for ly and monks subbed in for dearon Fox Ingram he’s checked in for the Pelicans and so it’s New Orleans with it it’s good and that’s just his third make in
10 shots an off game for him oh great ball movement [Applause] there Barnes sets a screen for sabonis passes it to Barnes Murray looking around Murray sets a screen for monk four on the shot CL that’s it and the Pelican lead is cut down now to just six points
With that basket for Murray and Murray makes that catch and shoot jumper look much easier than it actually is the three from McCullum here’s Valen chunis goes up and lays it nice and easy Allen junis has got eight points how about the perseverance there the extra effort on that offensive glass
Now the pass dwarte and the call is going to be yes yes it is an illegal screen and let’s look at the numbers here for Brandon Ingram great showing for him last season checking in at about 24 points per six assists and five rebounds but to have a scorer like him
Consistently deliver you points makes such a big difference for a team because he gives you someone to build your offense around you can count on his nightly production now here’s Jones nine points last game out Ingram some nice passing here by New Orleans McCullum against monk kept alive and the truth is this
League would have been much bigger had he shot better Barnes kicks to sabonis pass dorte launches a three that’s a Miss he’s made one and missed one last outing for the Pelicans it was a loss to the Clippers here’s McCullum again Mulla missing and there hasn’t been anything easy for him in
This period and you see they’ve made numerous attempts to try to get him going shows how valuable he is to this offense now here’s monk Barnes sets a screen for monk the kick out to Barnes a three-pointer Off the Mark Pelicans leading by eight a colum up top he’s got 13 from
Deep rebound by the Kings RJ has got four rebounds in this game and one of the best Shooters in the league he just flies under the radar though Trey Murphy reason why G his shot mechanics there is no wasted motion the release is quick so he can hit contested jumpers all day here’s
McCullum the Kings getting the bucket inside here’s Valen chunis nice D from sabonis the Kings Trail by six barns the screen sabonis the pass to Barnes and there’s the three second call this one on the defense the Kings have gone nine of 10 from the line so making the most of
Their chances yeah and 79% from the line as a team a season ago pretty reliable in that regard Sacramento making a switch here Fox is checked in and New Orleans also making a change Zion Williamson’s checked in for Trey Murphy and so here’s Sacramento Barnes kicks to Fox Five to
Shoot Barnes screen on MC three-pointer Fox drills it from outside fox has got a couple of three-pointers in the second for the king Barnes against Ingram fires the three burries it from three-point range Ingram’s got 11 points big moments Brandon Ingram with a chance to make a splash and does and let’s head
Over to the sideline and catch up with David Aldridge thank you Kevin the Pelicans have a a lot of weapons offensively but there seem to be enough touches to go around coach Willie Green said there’s a trust Factor all those guys they go out and trust each other it
Might be one guy’s night in this game and there might be someone else in the next game they always just want to make the right play Kevin yep thanks da good stuff McCullum kicks to Ingram outside Jones Pass to McCullen Allen junis with a screen on Fox the three from McCullum Barnes grabs
The Miss Barnes has got four rebounds now tonight dishes the [Applause] fox outside sabonis pass to Barnes good and it’s sabonis with the assist that time sabonis has got his third assist on the night 11 left to play in the first half the pass to Ingram that’ss in for his fifth field
Goal of the game makes him five for 12 so far a wiry guy with great body control Ingram can adjust in the face of good defense Barnes sets a scream for sabonis there’s the dish to Barnes pass to Fox Murray left side shot clock at six monk with the ball now defended by
Williamson that ties the game Murray’s got eight here in the quarter that’s number two for him from long range in the quarter his third overall and so McCullum will bring it up for the New Orleans Pelicans pass to Ingram yep that one goes Ingram’s got 15
And not a great start for him in the first but he’s quickly starting to turn it around 5-second differential between the shot clock in the game clock to the right side hey right here passes to Murray the kick out to Barnes Barnes screen on molum three-pointer Fox rebounded by Valen
Junis Valen junis has got six rebounds now in the game the three from mullum doesn’t go that time Brandon Ingram he’s been the guy making things happen for the New Orleans Pelicans he finishes with nine points in the quarter the D is having all sorts of problems with him
Right back after this this [Applause] [Applause] break all [Applause] [Applause] on hello everybody we all like close games and tonight’s matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans does not disappoint what a game huh how would you guys analyze that first half since that’s what you’re here to do the only
Thing saaks been analyzing this first half is the buffet table he hasn’t paid attention to this game how many oatmeal raisin cookies are there how many chocolate chips you have all of those stats I bet come on Kenny be serious nobody eats anything just raisins it was
Seven snicker doodles hey uh the raisins can be okay if you know if you just want to be a regular guy here we go again and now let’s talk about those Pelicans this game has been extremely competitive obviously the bench gave them a big lip to credit the front
Office for loading up on scorers you can never have too many of them yeah trying to defend them you really don’t know who to take away and that’s a halftime wrap let’s get back to the second half with the call by Kevin Harland and the crew and after a fairly even first
Couple of quarters the second half could turn out to be a great one as both teams try to gain an edge Brandon Ingram has been Sensational man he’s been running wild on him through that first half absolute Dynamite on offense this is his challenge to continue to dominate to
Help them try to close strong here in the second half so the Pelican five right now Ingram at the three with Williamson playing the four in the back court it’s McCullum and Jones and it’s Valen junis in at the five down low now here’s McCullum following the Miss shot by dear and foxs
Ingram passes to Williamson here’s McCullum and it’s denied by Fox mie finds Barnes three-pointer Fox Pelicans with the rebound still trying to shoot his way out of this funk but if it doesn’t come within the floor of the offense the whole team suffers Jo and that one clearly a foul gets the whistle
And two shots coming up that’s on Keegan bur and Jones doesn’t fear anyone which is why he gets these calls he’s got free throw attempts number four and five here and that one Falls for Jones and so Jones Nails both of them about one minute played here in the second half Fox against
McCullen that one’s good the New Orleans lead is cut down to just two points with the bucket from Fox and boy he’s really in a Groove dominant performance last game same thing this time out here’s the thing he’s a guy who will go on hot streaks for you over a number of games
Now a timeout called by New Orleans [Applause] [Applause] for let’s pause to take a look at the teams that were tops in field goal percentage last season the kings in second hard to shoot the ball any better than they did I mean they weren’t the best in the
League but man they were right there mullum right side here’s the floater and he lays it up and in mollen’s got 15 what touch on the floater CJ is tough to guard when he gets this going screen by sabonis the shot no good by dwarte only
One for four in this half sometimes it’s execution sometimes the shots just don’t go down it’s McCullum on the wing guarded by box to the inside Jones kicks to Ingram clock at four over Barnes and it’s Ingram missing the Kings Trail by four Barnes passes DTE now
Sabonis it’s good now he’s shooting six for seven nice jumper there once sabonis gets some breathing room to shoot he rarely passes it up the pass to Ingram Valen junis dishes to Ingram and Barnes sends it back sabonis the pass to Fox Barnes sets a screen for FOX NOW here’s
Barnes back to Fox basket is good the assist from barn now that’s 17 points for dearen Fox the Pelicans have gone only one of six in the field in the third quarter not how they pitched the half stared feeds it to Ingram that one goes counted 17 points
For Brandon Ingram hitting only one of five this quarter he’s in a little bit of a slump but it looks like he’s trying to shoot his way out of it timeout called by the Kings Brandon Ingram with a strong contribution so far in this one
You have to make it harder for him to score deny the ball even double whatever it takes to force someone else to beat you and here’s a look at the stats for Williamson last season he played outstanding he was around 26 points a game last year seven rebounds and four
Assists and the phrase stats don’t lie absolutely applies here he’s been a monster on the court for this team he’s versatile he’s prolific there really isn’t much a defense do once he catches fire here’s bars seven points in the game right tied fox pass to
Orte a miss that time would have put him up and so it’s Williamson with it he brings it up for the Pelicans their defense has only allowed six points in the second half and the dunk by Williamson well well that is why we call CJ a combo guard he can score
With the best but he also can [Applause] facilitate sabonis feeling it out of bit outside Fox again the Miss by the Kings this is the guy who had three threes in the first half since then still waiting on number four McCullen kicks to Ingram Williamson in the post nine points in
The game so far and there’s the call on Zion Williamson and that’ll be his third foul so far and we have to take another glance at that powerful rejection and in a close game blocks like that are so clutch and that could be a real Difference Maker here tonight the Kings Trail by
Four now Fox he’s got 17 pass to sabonis double team sabonis Murray outside down to five on the shot clock offensive rebound the kick out to Fox here’s dwarte defended by Jones drills the three-pointer that’s a high percentage look when the D doesn’t fight over the screen reason why it takes
Extra energy to do it you have to trust your defensive rotations but it’s worth it now here’s Jones and there’s the call it’s going to be an illegal screening and here’s a look at what’s coming up for the Kings on Tuesday they’ll head out on the road to face the
Pistons in Detroit and then on Wednesday they’ll be matching up against Gordon Hayward and the Charlotte Hornets sabonis with the ball he’s got 12 passes it to Barnes he kicks to Fox barns screen on McCullum that doesn’t go in had a chance though to take the lead Williamson the pass to
McCullum back to Williamson now the pass to Ingram six on the shot clock that’s tipped Fox with the [Applause] steel over in the corner Barnes good and a nice assist from Fox Barnes has got 10 when Barnes has space to fire from Deep you usually just assume is going in very
Dangerous from outside Williamson [Applause] outside alen junis sets a screen for Williamson he takes it in and he goes big with the dunk right over Keegan Murray with the reputation of a highlight re dunker Zion always ready to put on a show awesome display of athleticism captured by your
AT&T 5G slam Camp Kings have gone 5 of 12 from the field since the third quarter got underway Fox passes to sabonis and the rebound goes to the Pelicans Allen junis has got the glass covered here tonight 11 boards for him pass to McCullum now Ingram covered by Barnes
Fader on the way rebound by Murray very surprising he gets the ball where he wants it in a decent matchup and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line vs is just such a tough cover he has the ability to play both forward position positions the Kings have shot
10 of 11 at the line nice work so far for them take a break take a break Two Shots first free throw is good Malik monk he’s checked in for the Kings Trey Murphy’s checked in for for New [Applause] Orleans and that one goes in two from the line that time the Pelicans
Trail and here’s McCullum 15 points in the game Ingram outside that’s in coming off the assist from mullum mccullum’s got six assists here tonight McCullum against monk pass to dwarte here’s Barnes that’s good he’s five for nine guys his consistency in terms of shooting has really helped them seize control McCullum against
Monk passes it to [Applause] Jones rocket six kicks to Valen Junes new orans needs to get off a shot takes a three rejected by Murray nice anticipation for Murray so good at getting position there to block the shot and there’s here’s the pass to sabonis and the shot goes in and now a
Four-point Sacramento lead excellent move to score the basketball despite a weak pickit now here’s Jones he’s guarded closely here’s McCullum 11 ft out and he hits it mccullum’s got 17 now this is why you have to stay attached to CJ McCullum he can bury it from anywhere on on the floor here’s
Sabonis and he could not get that one to go lot of contact and he’ll go to the line for [Applause] two and a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for the Kings they are making it rain from the three-point L right now and the coaching
Staff continues to encourage them to let it fly and their passing has been great as well ball movement is key in getting good looks and they’ve had that down tonight no good on the free throw and with sabonis as his minutes have increased so has his production the
Future is bright for this young man Trey ly checked in for Murray and New Orleans also making a change AR n is checked in for valent [Applause] Junes and he sinks the second Pelicans Trail by three molum outside Ingram outside that falls nice feed that time from McCullum McCullen’s got his seventh
Assist in the game the Kings have gone seven for 16 the second half from the field shooting a bit under 50% miles a screen on Jones puts it up from 12 pass to sabonis Barnes outside five on the [Applause] clock here’s tte and that one is good T has got
10 New Orleans gone 0 of two from Deep to start things here in the second half he McCullum against monk McCullum kicks to Jones it’s McCullum on the wing 17 points in the game six to shoot with the shot Sacramento grabs the miss it can be a little disheartening when you do
Everything right and Come Away with nothing monk the pass to sabonis double team sabonis and the foul on Larry Nance Jr that is his first foul of the game Kevin herder he’s checked in for Sacramento Mitchell comes in for dwarte the Pelicans also changing it up tyon
Daniels checked in for Herbert Jones and it’s Jose Alvarado in for McCullum and it’s the Kings with the ball it’s a three-point game ly sets a screen for Mitchell and it’s wyles in the corner just five on the clock out for three drops in the tray eight points
For him their ability again to stretch the floor particularly in this second half this was obviously a focal point coming out of the break looks smart when the shots are going down a good look there and he didn’t waste it his second three of the game wildes a screen on
N sabonis kicks to WS and he can’t answer back the three-pointer offline now the feed to Daniels comes up empty down low Kings leading Now by three to the paint ripped away Alvarado with it now defended by Mitchell here’s Nance and it’s tonight when you watch Kevin herder he plays hard at the
Defensive end that was an effort block they get it back and Ingram is got the ball here for the Pelicans shoots from the elbow they get the rebound and he hits it and gets hacked on the play a three-point possibility if he can convert the free
Throw and the D getting out work there on the putb can’t let that happen for some reason blocking out has become a lost art and that’s the result you’ll get first trip to the free throw line for him tonight here’s what Sacramento is going with right now
Jail McGee checked in for sabonis and it’s foxen for Mitchell Zion Williamson’s checked in for the [Applause] Pelicans that one drops he ties it up Sacramento’s gone three of seven from three-point range here in quarter number [Applause] three now here’s monk he’s covered by Daniels monk no one around him nice jump
Shot good monks got five points in the quarter and that’s a high percentage look when the D doesn’t fight over the screen reason why it takes extra energy to do it you have to trust your defensive rotations but it’s worth it Kings shooting pretty good tonight at [Applause] 48% the kick out to
Fox McGee sets the pick for Fox and it’s off from three-point range New Orleans has gone one of four in three-point shots here in the third as to Alvarado out to the right wing and again New Orleans has no up and we just finished the third quarter and
We’ve got a tight ball game here Kings ahead they lead by a bucket we’re going to step aside for just a second but join us right back here for the start of the fourth quarter next and while we can now let’s take a look at today’s State Farm assist of the game
And the definition of teamwork right there guys I mean what great communication between them and and what a beautiful feed fundamental basketball keep your eyes up keep the ball moving you’re going to keep the defense on his heels and I know I speak for all of us
When I say I can’t wait to see what kind of finish awaits us here in the fourth quarter backourt pair is fox and monk Kevin herder is out there with lons and it’s McGee in at the pivot spot Manning the middle so that’s a five in the game
For Sacramento basket is good he’ll get a chance for one more at the line so it’ll be Larry Nance shooting it’s on javil McGee [Applause] and that one misses here’s Fox herder passes to monk shot clock at six it’s deflected how about the block from Murphy in the
Right place at the right time here’s Alvarado good in the assist goes to Williamson and the Pelicans lead by two and a breakdown here guys the hustle stats for the Pelicans it’s easy for me look at their defensive effort all game the block total shows their commitment
To contesting shots and just a great job converting those Second Chance points as well they’re having a great night getting those second and third shot opportunities let’s check in with our reporter David Aldridge hey guys during the break listened in to Mike Brown he told the players you guys are too
Talented to be playing this Lac aicle push the ball up the floor get out on the break and get to the fast break guys will see if they can get it done thank you David outside Fox and stolen by Williamson here’s Alvarado a strong finish under heavy pressure all over that’s their
Third straight make off an assist the Kings Trail by four just about one and A2 minutes gone by here in the fourth ly kicks to monk back to LY Sacramento moving it around just five to shoot back from outside and the rebound goes to the Pelicans Nance has got his fourth
Rebound in this one Williams in a screen on herder shoots the three and it’s Sacramento with the rebound K got his fourth Rebound with that last one here tonight so frustrating when you can’t get anything to go down as you’re trying to help your team finish the job McGee and once again
Off the Mark by Sacramento Pelicans leading by four here’s Williamson it’s rebounded by dearon fox fox has got four rebounds in this [Applause] game for those just joining us fourth quarter here we’re just over two and a half minutes into it they could use a bucket and it’s
Blocked and he recovers it he shoot again and the layup good by McGee the Pelicans have on three of six in the field so far in the fourth quarter timeout called here the Pelicans decide to talk it over and he could tell his guys were dragging a little bit
Calling time out to kind of let him catch their [Applause] breath Maurice checked in for javel McGee and a change for the Pelicans Bon junis is checked in Kings on D and we’re about three minutes into the fourth quarter there’s Williamson with the three good for his six make and it
Dozen attempts shooting 50% with that basket gives Zion credit the D was fine but he just beats them with better offense passes it to Monk and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two at the free throw [Applause] line shooting two free throw drops for Monk [Applause] both shots good from the
Strike pans leading by three the pass to Valen junis back to alberado Fox with the [Applause] steal here’s herder oh good on that one New Orleans gone one to two from three-point range here in the fourth Williamson outside and the dunk by Williamson that’s about as tough as a finish you’ll
See but when you’re up against someone as strong as Zion contact doesn’t face him now here’s [Applause] Monk and it’s Daniels with the rebound and you can see the defender afraid to kind of get in his way A lot of times when he’s on his way to the basket but
On that one they were there what I like about Murphy he generates offense in a number of ways [Applause] and he makes the first it’s pretty clear where Trey Murphy II thiri has focused his development his range shooting he knows a guy who can knock it down will
Always have value in this league here’s what Sacramento is going with right now sabonis he’s checked in for Trey ly Barnes comes in for Kevin herder and Chris DZ subbed in for Monk and good on the second so he makes him both the Kings Trail by seven outside Fox sabonis sets the pick
For Fox the offensive rebound the kick out to Barnes that BS nice feed that time from sabonis sabonis has got four assists now tonight and so it’s McCullum with it he brings it up for the New Orleans Pelicans they’ve allowed just seven points here in the fourth quarter great
Look but Off the Mark and Mark that one down right there it’s going to be a long time until we see him miss another one like that sabonis finds Barnes McCullum against sabonis back from out side another three for Sacramento love the floor awareness from simonis capable of finding his guys when
They are wide open and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line yeah how about the body control on that one narrowly misses getting the Deuce [Applause] the free throw drops for valent chunis and one difference this half is that when they get to the line they’re converting and the Pelicans making a change here Williamson’s checked in and he can’t hit the second well they should be looking at a three-point lead
Hopefully for them that Miss won’t cost them Murray against valent junis Murray the pass to orte Fox with it five to shoot sabonis is screen on molum packed from outside and another three for Sacramento yeah this looks like a pregame shoot around with all the threes they’re
Allow pass to Ingram and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two Harrison Barnes picks one up tough inside Ingram’s got a lot of moves he can beat you with [Applause] the first free throw is good both free throws good for
Ingram Sacramento’s gone beyond the arc seven times here in the fourth and been successful three times and for a player of his size Fox not afraid to take some contact to get to the line he’ll do at every chance he gets shooting two he’s off on the first SC
He can’t make the second free throw either Miss and both the Pelicans have gone five for nine from the field in the final quarter so far Williamson finds McCullum back to Williamson and the dunk by Williamson punishing Slam by Zion this is what you get for giving him a look at the rim
Left side Fox and once again Off the Mark by Sacramento Williamson with it now guarded by Murray and he’ll shoot free throws here clearly fouled on that shot that time the [Applause] whistleblowing [Applause] and he knocks down the first one certainly goes to the line a lot a spot
Where Williamson would like to become more efficient [Applause] and both free throws good for Williamson the Kings Trail by five outside Fox he can’t hit that time good te by McCullum the Pelicans have gotten into a pretty good Groove going six and 10 here in the final Quarter New Orleans moving the ball
Around Jones the pass to Ingram Ingram drawing the double team and there’s Valen junis on the assist from Ingram that gives him a double double in this one 11 points and 13 [Applause] rebounds now here’s sabonis Barnes screen on valent Tunis sabonis finds Barnes outside Fox Murray sets a screen for Fox stolen
By McCullum and a fast break now for the Pelicans here’s Williamson and Williamson throws it down this is how dangerous a score Zion is outstanding at putting his team on his back Barnes sets a screen for sabonis outside Fox La screen on McCullum six on the shot clock knocked
Loose drives to the hoop and McCullum with the slam what UPS from CJ on the drive carrying him right up to the [Applause] rim Fox against McCullum yep it goes in and the Pelican lead is kept down now to just nine in the bucket from Fox and how
About the terrific use of the cross over there to just throw the defender off balance now here’s Jones molum outside this one for three they get it back Valen chunis the Jonas valent chunis the big fella dominating in the paint and here’s Fox he’ll bring it up for the Sacramento Kings at the
Conclusion of this game they’re off to Detroit where they’ll face the Pistons that sets off a five-game tour for them over to the left wing the shot no good by dwarte and here’s New Orleans now they’re on a 15 to5 [Applause] run Fox against Mulla again Mulla missing the Kings Trail by
11 here he goes dwarte it’s rebounded by New Orleans Allen junis has got rebound number 15 here tonight fouled on the shot and picks up up two points so one free throw coming up terrific concentration and body control Zion showing why he was chosen number one [Applause] overall free throw no good for
Williamson and for Sacramento their shooting has been Dreadful at L around 28% here in the fourth Fox against Valen junis and there’s the basket whistle blows and a chance for a three-point play going to the line for one and sometimes Fox just can’t be contained I mean he plays with
So much heart and passion and terrific scoring even when he gets bodied up timeout called by the Kings [Applause] and the free throw no good pans leading by 11 here’s Jones fouled in the AC of shooting gets the bucket anyway so a three-point play chance for him and
Doing a really good job here of pounding it inside in the second half sound strategy with the [Applause] lead and Sacramento has possession they Trail by 14 Fox the bounce pass Marie finds Barnes poked away Barnes screen on Jones qute passes to Barnes shot clock at five Sacramento needs to get off a shot to the wing on the left for three Murray six for six he’s yet to miss from
The field yeah coming down the stretch they’ve become riant upon their perimeter game you know when you’re reigning threes you can stack up points in a hurry but it can go the other way as well and that one’s good Ingram I mean excellent positioning by Ingram
He’s right there to keep the play alive and finish it strong here’s Fox and the rejection by valent junis think burn some clock if they want to and get a little breather as well pass to Ingram hey yo right here Ingram drawing the double team shoots and it’s Sacramento with the rebound now
Fox lets it go from the wing Sayan Williamson grabs the Miss Pelicans leading by 13 and and so only one team answered the Bell tonight guys not a monster blow out by any means but still double digit victory for the Pelicans great generous ball movement tonight a
Thing of beauty yeah a remarkable team effort they got everyone involved and it’ll go down as their first official win of the new year and you know guys what a nice performance it was for Zion Williamson what was impressive to me it felt like he made an impact in so many
Areas some of the effort won’t show up in the stat sheet but I noticed it [Applause] the first one Falls and it’s a completely new group on the floor for the Kings the Pelicans also changing it up ny’s checked in for Jonas Valen junas Trey Murphy comes in for ingrin and
Dyson Daniels subbed in for Herbert [Applause] Jones and so he’s able to get one of two here’s Sacramento now it’s a 14-point game monk against McCullum [Applause] come on 3se second difference between shot clock and game clock they just blocked out the noise kept on grinding and this is their reward and guess what it’s
Going to be a fun flight home total team effort big win on the road monk for three Pelicans Pull It in McCullum with the ball so we see New Orleans taking the W here a resounding victory for them and Greg in enemy territory no less that’s exactly right but with the way they
Controlled the game and and just completely took the crowd out of it that’s how to get it done on the road well folks that’s going to do it for now for Greg Anthony Steve Smith and David Aldridge this is Kevin Harland saying thanks for watching as New Balance
