NBA Gametime react to Jalen Williams owns Brunson as thunder beat Knicks to clinch NBA Playoff berth

Is very in these points of the game you don’t just have to be a guy that’s just standing in front of the ball when you see a guy who’s coming off like SGA you want to shade that guy make sure the ball goes somewhere else yeah first

Mistake was letting him get the ball you see on the other end of the floor what OKC did they put Chad on the ball for a second Brunson had a layup to win the game but you could not see him because of the size that Chad had and his

Activity on the ball point is the inbounder is just as important to those plays at the end as anybody else on the basketball court yeah that they’re making plays and and they’re doing it well I mean right now the OKC Thunder they seem Unstoppable they’re right at the top of the Western Conference

They’re at the top of the West they they know who to get the ball to at the end of the game they understand their style of play yeah they don’t change up to fit other people style of play during the course of the game they come to the game

And they say this is who we are this is how we play now beat us you know there there there’s very little change up in terms of what they do they make few adjustments during the course of the game yeah they make you adjust to them

In their style of play yeah and they’re so young too which is really crazy to see they’re in the top five in their offensive efficiency and their defensive efficiency and people are saying oh do they have enough experience to go far in the postseason what do you think you D

It’s a difference when you consider your teammate a brother what I watch and when I see OKC is yeah they’re young yeah they’re inexperienced but they have a Brotherhood and they’re playing for each other and they’re playing for their brothers so when you step out on the basketball court and you’re playing for

A teammate that’s one thing but when you feel like you’re playing with your brother that’s a whole different level that they’re going to take their games to so I love the Brotherhood that they have and I think that’s going to overtake some of the inexperience and some of the things that people were

Talking about because they playing for their brothers every night yeah I agree with you too on the other side the New York Knicks they’re still third in the Eastern Conference right now how confident should they be moving forward now these last two weeks of the regular season well they should be very

Confident because they got they got two starters sitting out which is crazy I mean when you when you think of OG and you think of Randall I mean those two guys defensively in their toughness they they haven’t been there and then you got Mitchell I’m sorry they got three

Starters that’s been missing so they they got three players you know sitting in the Dugout you know if they if they get healthy and they able to join this team they’re going to be a tough team in in the East to beat yeah yeah I agree I agree definitely having health and

Having depth going into the playoffs is huge and um the moves they made with Obi and obviously getting back Randall I think that was a great move bringing OG in and obviously Rand what he does from all three levels three-pointed when he got it going get into the basket or he

Can post up so you’re definitely going to need those guys and those also guys who have switchable matchups I talk about defense everything is 990,000 pick and rolls a game you have two guys that can switch those matchups and take guys out of offense and that’s what you want

To do in the playoffs yeah the New York Knicks are trying to win they’re trying to win now but they couldn’t get it done tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder let’s send you back out to MSG here from Jay will in SGA can you walk us through that go-ahead bucket with 1.8 seconds

Left um coach Drew up a really good play uh we’ve got to it before so we all knew what was going on um I tried to just get double open um and I knew if if I screen hard enough I’d be able to get a crack

Get a catch and get a shot off that I shot many times coach dagno talks about finding different ways to win games this was a low-scoring rock fight what did it take to come out on top on this one um took grit um took fight uh took this guy being miraculous all night

Uh it took a lot of things but every night is different you never know what it’s going to look like um we’ll take our W’s we don’t take it for granted 16th comeback of double digits that leads the NBA what is it about this group that is unfazed by runs we’ve been

Here so many times I we don’t like getting down that big but we know it’s a long game um we have guys that make shots get stops um and when we stream them together we can go on runs and and do what we did tonight we got a big game

For Jay dub you got a triple double from Josh giddy this guy steps up big time tell me about the efforts of your teammates tonight tonight it won us the game uh clearly I didn’t have my best night U but that’s what the team is for

They had my back all season they had my back again tonight um but we just came in here did our job everyone stuck to the script and and we got a w UD said it it’s a Brotherhood and you just see it right there during that postgame interview but the Oklahoma City

Thunder guys now sitting solely a top of the Western Conference they deserve it they deserve it I mean ain’t nothing else to do OKC but hang out with you brother might as well hang out with your brother go to the movies go to dinner but most of the time when you have an

Older team the veterans they’re going home to their wives they’re going home to their kids they got businesses these guys are hanging out with each other spending time together after practice putting those hours in they’re having fun and they have the same amount of wins as the Denver Nuggets this season

Which is pretty crazy time to take our break Antonio Spurs 117 to 113 welcome on into the postgame show presented by KIA I’m Lauren javar that’s Isaiah Thomas that’s yonis hlam and guys you said it at the beginning UD the Golden State Warriors needed to win this game

They did what they needed to do in that second half this was a must win game and I understand that every game is a must-win game but this is a game that you really have to win against a team like San Antonio still trying to struggle to find their identity find

Their place they got a superstar that’s coming along he is a b he is him he is him he is him they got a Bonafide Superstar that’s coming along but they got four guys out yeah you got four guys out from a struggling team and you’re a

Team that needs to win every game down the stretch so I think they heard the message they got the memo they got a bunch of veteran guys they understood the importance of this game they came out the second half switched their mentality a little bit dominated but San

Antonio hung in there and made it a game yeah they definitely did the third quarter for Golden State though that’s exactly where they separated it breaking barriers powered by Shopify start selling today at shopify.com TV you look at their points 37 of them Zeke in the third quarter shooting over 50% from the

Field 50% from three but they were moving the ball well 11 assist and and in their championship ship runs and in their Heyday when they were playing good basketball you always worried about the Warriors in the third quarter and and it’s always you know Steph and clay in

The third quarter they come out lighten it up from the three-point line and when they get hot they have a way of just knocking knocking down shots knocking down threes playing well together not only playing well together you got a three-on-one situation here layup in transition they’re devastating and then

Off screen and roll they try to play a little boxing one Steph is so good with the basketball and they read each other so well they play so well together they get back door Cuts they get layups it’s not just a three-point shot that you have to be aware of because when he

Kills you with the three Draymond and he are are so in tune he hits you with the back door cut so they’re they’re capable of scoring from every area but in the third quarter historically that’s when this team has been its best and tonight they were their best again yeah they

Definit were I think the ball finds energy so I think the adjustment that they made we don’t have kaminga we don’t have a guy that’s going to get to that next level and get those lives but what we can do is we can cut you know we can

Work the offense a little bit more and just be a little bit more patient get out in transition get some Steals and make things happen so they made the adjustment in the second half it wasn’t necessarily getting to the lobs with kaminga but it was getting steals

Getting out in transition back door Cuts working the offense like I said the ball finds energy and Steph Curry has probably the most energy I don’t even know how old he is but the energy and the motor that he plays with at that age is incredible yeah I played 32 minutes

Tonight seven made threes from Steph Curry too so he’s still producing at his age but first of all there was 10 games on the Slate tonight Jared Greenberg let’s get a little crunchy with him V so l spe First Blood an enemy has been defeated double kill you have been defeated your team has destroyed the tower enemy double kill an En enemy has been Defeated double kill onlly double kill triple kill is the last a crumble an ally has been defeated you have been defeated legendary double kill triple Kill an enemy has been defeated you have defeated an enemy victory for for e the past is a dream tomorrow is a new day First Blood thre your life away all for what hey hey look up you have defeated an enemy your team has destroyed a tower an enemy has been
