NBA LIVE! Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards | December 23, 2023 | Warriors vs Wizards LIVE
Washington starting group Kyle kma is out there ginari then there’s Landry shamon then there’s Jordan p and it’s Gord in at the five and for the Warriors guard pair on the floor it’s Curry and Thompson Jonathan kaminga out there with Looney you know Brent after a few years
Of small ball a getting even smaller it’s feeling like now there is a Resurgence of the big man yeah I don’t know Kevin if that’s because last year we had three potential MVP candidates that all played a bigger position but you got to have one of those guys in
Order for you to say that we are going to accentuate the biggest player on the floor to do the things needed to get wins now here’s kozma shamet finds galinari now P it’s the three-point bom and just another weapon that Jordan pool has in his offensive Arsenal Curry pass it to Thompson here’s
Kaminga Golden State moving it around good on the bucket K now p 25 points last game kuzma outside bounce pass from [Applause] shamut and here’s P for three here’s kinari good for the basket starting off one for one with that shot well Gallow almost pushes seven feet so he comes up with the offensive rebound and put back because of his [Applause]
Size Thompson looking for an opening he feeds it to Curry six to shoot lets it go with a three one up one down two points with his first shot this game number 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 kozma very solid contribution from him as he averages over 20 points a game and they call an illegal screen here that’s going to draw a whistle every time down the floor not even close to being a legal screen yeah everybody
Saw that one that was pretty blatant there so it’s the Warriors now outside Curry Thompson outside sham it with the steel goes up throws down the Breakaway Jam well if you don’t take care of the ball fellas that’s what can happen absolutely great that makes the turnover
Even more painful and the gamble paying off outside Curry passes to Thompson shoots the three it’s rebounded by pool Wizards have gone three of four from the field to start out the game 2022 Greg a year for the Washington Wizards with some historic significance and it marks 25
Years of the Washington Wizard’s name being on an NBA jersey a cool moment for the current players who can look back on this franchise and know they part of his and already at such a young age Landry shamet considered one of those critical role pieces for a very good team Sky
Still the limit for where he can get [Applause] to and the first one [Applause] drops he hits both from the strike now you can tell he’s feeling confident right now at the line and when he’s on he can be lights out Curry outside hangs home the trifecta this is why Steph Curry is
Virtually unguardable when he’s sinking those kind of shots it just devastates you defensively kuzma outside back to pool and he goes up strong with one hand and pushes it down making the most of the screen that’s how it’s done and it’s in the perfect spot Greg freeze him up
To get all the way to the bucket really not enough help their lack of communication on the backside releases Washington with the rebound last time they met was in Washington and they did win that last game in this matchup and it seems they got the benefit of the whistle solid shot from
Gallow he knows he has a mismatch down inside sinks the shot Curry against P curry dishes to kaminga Thompson outside lock at six curry with a wide open look and another three for Golden State well Clay is going to draw that kind of attention and that’s going to open up
Opportunity P kicks to shanet kma with it he’s coming off a 19-point game against Indiana and he passed the ball so well in that game keeping everybody involved even as he was racking up all those points they should continue to get the ball inside the defense struggling to contain
Them Thompson outside it’s Curry outside that’s in coming off the assist from Thompson Curry’s got n oh they have a soft touch is one thing but to do it from 25 ft come on Stephan pass to shamut Curry against P kozma outside and it goes out of bounds that one’s off
Kozma a moment here now to see the numbers for Klay Thompson the Warriors trailing now the pass to Curry from Deep here’s Looney and he duns it down kind of a simple job for Looney out there but he’s willing to do it gets into the middle and fights for that
Board and now the latest from our reporter David aldd thanks earlier I spoke with Steven Silas he was worried about their interior defense he doesn’t want them getting gutted in the paint he told his players look they’re going to score but we’ve got to make it difficult
On them to give ourselves a chance to win guys let’s see if they can follow that advice okay David Banks and the shot is good you can tell Curry’s team just counting on him to finish the job on that play Just trusting he’ll put the dagger in kuzma finds Gord
Here’s P Five Points in the game out to kozma carries it from three-point range when you can score the ball and the defense makes adjustments your way to do that Co has to take advantage like that Curry looking it over pass to kaminga and they call the foul so he’s
Got the and one chance here to make it a three-point play so far both teams scorching the Nets you got to love it yeah made for TV game here pace is great scoring is coming in bunches and both of the teams feeling confident right now line what you guys think so far about
The offensive approach for the Warriors they’ve looked to fire as much as possible from outside the arc and so far they are hitting at a high clip so much good energy in flow tonight and that has really come out of great ball movement guys have been open and as soon
As they are they get the ball Wizards Trail by [Applause] three back to pool here’s shamet no good with the triple Warriors have gone eight of 11 in the first quarter they’ll take that percentage any night right side Curry Thompson outside Thompson is double Curry outside that’s in coming off the assist from
Thompson Thompson’s got his third assist on the night there are kns he makes it look easy tonight he’s making it look even easier so timeout called here the first for the wizard one guy who’s been getting it done so far St not sure what the defense is thinking or if they are
They continue to let him shoot that is bad defense and Washington making a change Jones has checked in warri I see some numbers here on Steph Curry the last 10 or so games he has been remarkable right around 25 points per six assists and five rebounds and it
Says a lot that when we see numbers like this from him we aren’t even shocked he he’s that good yeah we really have just grown to get used to his greatness and that’s the level for him that he’s on right now it’s three on three on the fast
Break and another three for Golden State the defense is in disbelief here triple after triple this is it back to Jones Pass to Gafford six on the shot clock looking to end the Run that one a little long Warriors leading by nine and the pass to [Applause]
Curry goes up to the stripe and the Warriors tack on two more this is as good as it gets for a first quarter in terms of shooting the basketball pass to Gaff over Looney and Looney sends it back well nice defense from Looney able to totally upset the shot because of his
Positioning getting another opportunity here to see that powerful rejection and this is how you protect and grow a lead by making a huge effort on that end of the floorer checked in for [Applause] Washington got a piece of [Applause] it and here is kaminga taking a look at
The scoring numbers right now he averages about nine points a game shot clock at six H good d by Jones and it’s kozma with the ball for Washington 11-point game feated by the p in their last game they’ll try to put that one behind them and that was a game
To forget you’d like to find some teachable moments but I think they’d like to just turn the page and move forward yeah and quick like as quick as possible that was a dismal showing especially for them at the offensive end and here’s Thompson following Kyle kma’s three and stolen by kosma here’s kissper
Kicks it out to Jones watch the screen Second Chance shot he gets it in there guys that’s just really Unstoppable he poses a ton of matchup problems for whomever he’s facing and a player opt out for Kyle kosma after this season GA probably hoping to earn himself a raid yeah and
He’s a worker looking to round out his game and take that next step as he’s just entering his prime now kissper after the Miss three from Klay Thompson floats one and the layup good by kissper and now it’s just a fourpoint warrior lead when the player gets a feel
For that floater it can really make things tough on Defenders you’re just not sure how to guard them and where your point of commitment is now here’s Jones he’s been a reliable score for him as he’s averaging up over 13 points a game and the whistle blows it’s going to be on Kyle
Kman that’s his first foul Chris Paul he’s checked in for the Warriors Warriors leading by Four Thompson outside from Deep three-point range rebounded by Gafford they’ve been beating them to a lot of those loose balls and rebounds here to start count it kman not getting bothered so to capitalizing even when guarded tight now here’s Paul he had 15 points last outter
Pass to Topson lets it go from Deep there we go now in the scoring column with that make he is one for four and I don’t care how far from the bucket he is you’ve got to have a man on him he’s just too good from Deep up top kman defended by
Kaminga hisper no good kaminga the pass to [Applause] Paul there’s 42 seconds left to play here in the first six on the shot clock here’s Thompson and that one clearly a foul gets the whistle and two shots coming up Klay Thompson is tall for a guard so you want to utilize any
Advantage you have that time height came into play it’s his first trip to the line got to what he’s been able to do at the free throw line this season how about over [Applause] 90% that free throw good from Thompson you think of Klay Thompson most people think of that three-point shot but
Really it’s klay’s ability as a two-way player on the perimeter that has been a standout talent and the Warriors making a change here Wiggins has checked in and so Thompson Nails both of them now here’s Jones Pass to KB Gafford with the ball he takes it in he doesn’t hit that
One on the wing Thompson Paul outside and the Warriors Miss again didn’t hesitate for a second to get a hand up on that deep ball yeah you got to like how he hustled to guard out on the perimeter definitely respecting the shooting ability it’s been all about Stephen Curry for the Golden State
Warriors he nailed it from long range in that quarter winds up with a total of four three-pointers in the period and we’ve got more and 2K sports coming your way after this break fans give it up for your warriors and hope you’ve enjoyed the broadcast so far halfway through the
First half in this one what do you guys think about the Warriors here so far coming in hot they were sharp from the perimeter right out of the gate they just couldn’t seem to know what it was that they needed to do and how to stick them from outside the defense pretty
Lost so this is how the floor looks for the Wizards starting the second they’ve got galinari he’s out there with Kyle kozma tus Jones out there with Daniel Gaffrey back to Thompson good and Paul gets the assist points for Klay Thompson I mean he could just put in difficult shots
From time to time not affected At All by the contact kma passes to Gafford he kicks to Jones High po shot doesn’t go for it and Golden State will go the other way with it and that’ll be the first of a two game road report here’s Thompson rebound by the Wizards just not
From a rhythm standpoint right now it’s really eluding him kma right side and too much time in the lane they get called for the 3sec violation Wizards making a switch here CO’s checked in Wizard Jordan Warriors leading by nine and now we’ve got some time to check in from the
Sidelines you got for us da thanks Kevin Wizard’s ownership has promised to never hit the hard reset button like we saw from teams in recent years like the Sixers but the fact remains that this is a franchise that last enjoyed a 50- win season in
1979 so for the patient Die Hard fans in the DMV seems the wait for a true Contender may take a lot longer Kevin well time will tell David thanks back to Thompson kicks it the ball just five on the clock over Jones and the Warriors Miss again well
They shouldn’t be giving that shot to anyone but they certainly shouldn’t be giving it to him that’s a big break for the defense fls one up no good he’s off to a slow start one for four so far and that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the
Foul Kyle kozma picks one up and Wiggins anticipated that one he saw the foul coming and he made sure to get that one off this is his first trip to the line tonight numbers this year at the line below 70 so when he’s getting to the line not nearly as effective as you’d
Like and the first at the line is good well if there’s one thing Greg that defines a modern NBA big man it is mobility and they’ve got to be able to move their feet and and really play in space otherwise they just can’t stay on the floor in today’s [Applause]
Game that one misses now Wiggins has showed himself over the past couple Seasons as being a great two-way player and he can still do damage on the offensive end don’t get that twisted and it’s ginari missing and his lateral quickness really allows him to stay in front of the shooter there and challenge
The shot talk about versatility on offense a lot but how about on defense and he takes pride in making an impact down there here’s Curry lays it up and Banks it in Curry’s got 18 points in the game well right now Steph is just toying with
The defense and it feels like he is the Puppeteer in this basketball game the pass tool and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line Second personal Washington shooting their third and fourth free throw attempts of the game at the line for the
Wizards Jordan P at the line for Two the first one Falls and Jordan P has stepped onto the NBA stage and not ever back down from a challenge he plays with tremendous confidence both free throws good from pool and it’s curry with the ball bringing it up for Golden State they’ve led by as many as 11 points Thompson finds
Kaminga back to Thompson and Curry has it in the corner and it’s out of bounds the Wizards will take it the other way Wizards Trail by eight kozma outside heyo yo back to Jones now P seven points in the game five to shoot and a kind roll that time off the
Rim as that one Falls Jones has got his second basket clearly defensive misc there if there’s not a body on him that’s sitting at the mid-range that’s a defensive mistake Thompson outside Golden State moving the ball around it’s Curry outside rebounded by the Wizards kma’s got four rebounds now tonight and after
That great first quarter from three-point range he has finally come back to earth curry with it Jones covering goes back up and no good now the Wizards take it the other way alinari down low kaminga on him Jones finds [Applause] Gafford Jones against Curry on loads Jones no luck no doubt he’s struggling right now from the field let’s see if he can get it going this dominga and he’s fouled pretty hard on that shot but he’s got the chance to pick up the points at the line that one
On galinari way to attack there and then create the contact the Warriors shooting their sixth and seventh free throw attempts tonight at the [Applause] line that free throw good from [Applause] [Applause] kaminga both free throws good from kaminga Wizards trailed by eight outside Jones teardrop shot count that one Jones has got
Six Golden State’s gotten a positive outcome on seven of their 14 three-pointers in this game not bad at all back to Curry [Applause] he dishes it to Thompson and the Warriors Miss again the Wizards have gone three of eight from the field since the beginning of the second quarter and when 610 Danilo
Galinari was drafted all the way back in 2008 a shooter with his size was rare well was rare now we’re seeing more and more guys able to do this but there’s certainly a ton of value and Gallows efficiency and his size and consistency on the perimeter finds Thompson Bar’s
The long range jumper he’s got 10 just so remarkable and consistent from distance is Klay Thompson here’s Jones that’s good and that evens things out for him 5050 four of eight shooting this game they’re consistently finding ways to get the ball inside and taking full advantage back to Curry knocks it [Applause] loose and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two first personal foul Washington shooting their Fifth and six free throws of the game for the Wizards tus Jones Two Shots no good on the free throw well probably
A little draft in the arena tonight he’s the last guy you expect to miss the mark by that much [Applause] absolutely and he misses the second one as well so he is 0 for two that time yeah in this quarter they’ve had the right approach driving and drawing initiating contact create opportunities get to the Line pass to kma cool with it seven points in the game five on the clock
Here’s gaffard up and in on the lay Gaff gafford’s got four this quarter yeah that’s the third bucket in a row from the paint this defense needs to clog those Lanes in the middle Golden State moving the ball around and foul on the shot he’ll shoot twox the free throw line fourth personal
Foul that one on Gallinari I tell you what he earned his money on that foul the Warriors have put up good numbers at the charity strike converting six of seven taking two shots and he knocks down the first one kissper checked in for Washington landre shamut comes in for tus [Applause]
Jones and that one goes in two from the wine that time Wizards trailed by five P kicks to kissper pool against KK p no good golden states gone one of four from three-point range in the second not a whole lot dropping out there for them he lobs up the alley
Pass and kaminga throws it down oh and the lead gets bigger on a ridiculous offensive sequence that dunk alone would have been spectacular never mind it coming at the end of an alleyoop time called here the Wizards decide to talk it open curry with a strong contribution
So far in this one well I hope this one is not to draw up a play but to think about how they’re going to defend that man he’s putting up some major numbers the Wizards have gone 6 to 12 in the second quarter right at the 50% mark from the [Applause]
Field here’s PS he’s got seven and here is kissper six to shoot the Trey here’s Gafford shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws and I like the fact that the defense is looking to protect the rim at all cost Washington shooting their seventh and eighth free throw attempts
For the game right here and team free throw numbers really about as good as you could ask for around 80% on the season [Applause] and that one [Applause] [Applause] misses [Applause] and the second free throw good Warriors leading by six Curry kicks to Thompson covered by gaffer just his
First attempt and the call will go against Jonathan kaminga Jonathan Kinga and that’ll be his third foul so far five third team [Applause] f Wizards Trail by Six now here’s P seven points in the game passes it to kozma shoots over kaminga kozma can’t get it to go Golden State’s gone one of4 from three-point range in the second not a whole lot dropping out there for them covered by gaffer on its way from Curry for two kma pulls it
In kma’s got rebound number five here tonight pass to pool Gafford with the ball guarded by Curry tries it from nine count it and the warrior lead has been cut down now to just four in the basket from Gafford it took a little bit of time but now
He’s taking the pen off the cap and putting his mark on this game back to Curry shoots over pool Curry can’t get it to go and there hasn’t been anything easy for him in this period no I haven’t seen him in in comfortable spots or at least spots
We’ve seen in this offensive set that are allowing him to settle in on the night he’s gone two for two at the strike Jordan taking two shots two shot on [Applause] the no good on that one well it’s interesting to watch him because he’s putting his body on the line to get to
The line we didn’t see this during the first quarter but he’s making up for it here cavon Looney is checked in for the Warriors Paul comes in for Thompson [Applause] and he sinks the second Warriors leading by three there’s the pass to kaminga launches a three and the three
Ball is good 11 points in the game and that gets him going here in the second after hitting two from long range in that first as to kiss Now here’s kozma passes it to Gafford over Looney the Wizards with another Miss and it’s curry with the ball bringing it up for the Warriors they’ve led by as many as 11 points I don’t think the defense does enough out there to bother him I think that one’s
All on him just a flat out Miss here’s kissper finds the hole for the second time from the floor now two for five and despite the hot start from Beyond they’ve gotten away from shooting the triple out a piece of it and how about kozma the defensive energy he showed to
Get to that block kissper the pass to kma shamut with it Curry meets him the kick out to P lock it four it’s good from long range now just a one-point Warrior lead he’s going to punish you if you leave him open he’s more than willing to take the
Open three when he’s got it from 13 rebound by the Wizards gafford’s got six rebounds now in the game pool against Paul pass to [Applause] kissers back to pool takes a three it’s rebounded by kaminga kaminga has got six rebounds now in the game they blow the whistle just
As he gets it off that’s two points with a chance for another one at the strike defoul yeah exceptional play there to take the bomb and still get it to fall The Warriors have knocked down eight of nine free throw attempts I’d say those num pretty well and they’ve shot the
Ball well this season in terms of their attempts 81% Andrew Wiggins who’s checked in for the Warriors and the free throw no good more good work on the glass there when it’s all said and done I think rebounding might tell the story in this game Warriors leading by
Three Curry can’t get it to go time for some consideration in the passing category maybe Kevin the shot is just not on get somebody else going just one second between the shot clock and game clock now pool he’s got eight Hafford trying to break free P kicks to
Shanet the Wizards with another Miss and a close game so far through the first two quarters as we reach halftime war warriors lead by three and now let’s catch up with David Aldridge who’s standing by from the sideline all right Dave thank you David for That interview
And we’ll see you back here after the break for third quarter basketball the 2K sports halime show hello basketball fans what a pleasure it is to bring you into the 2K Studios again Ernie Johnson Shaquille O’Neal Kenny The Jet Smith what a start it was for Stephen Curry he
Had 18 points two rebounds and two assists taking a look at the Warriors Kenny what’ you think they’ve been knocking it down from three you have to give The Playmakers credit for consistently finding the open guy and then of course their Shooters have delivered if they keep it up they’re
Going to be tough to beat and over the Sha your take on the Wizards well their bench production has been a major factor guys have been ready to go when they numbers it makes the second half go a lot easier on your main guys when you can spread the minutes around in the
First half and that’ll do it for us the third quarter about to begin with Kevin Harland standing by we’ll catch you on the flip side my brother here we go make some 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 curry with a strong contribution so far in this one and and the bulk of his damage so far has come from the perimeter a lot of Threes early on yeah he keeps tracking down those spots behind the three-point line and and finding some open Opportunities second half of basketball upon us we may be in for an exciting finish based on how close of the game game that’s been so far so with Wiggins sitting on the bench here’s the group that Steve Kerr has on the floor guard pair on the floor it’s Curry and
Thompson Looney out there with Jonathan kaminga here’s Thompson and he makes good on the layup Thompson’s got 12 points in the game hard to predict when great Shooters are using a screen that time Klay Thompson did a great job of finding the open space cool the pass to
Shamut out to the right Wing the three and it’s Looney with the rebound Warriors leading by [Applause] five outside Curry here’s kaminga kma pulls it in kma’s got his seventh rebound here tonight and for those of you turning in we’re about a minute into the second half good at getting Defenders to
Compromise on the inside kma draw a foul that time this is his first free throw of the game line numbers this year at the line below 70 so when he’s getting to the line not nearly as effective as you’d like he’s off on the first there’s all these little attributes to Kyle kuzman’s
Game that you start to see show themselves he’s developing as a passer and as a rebounder I think his best basketball still ahead of him alinari he’s checked in for [Applause] Washington he hits the second from the line and a minute played as the second half gets going Curry kicks it to
Looney Golden State moving the ball around kuzma outside the Warriors Pull It [Applause] in Thompson High post 12 points for him unable to get that one now Washington takes it the other way over in the corner pool over third quart here over a minute and a half into it and that one’s good
Sham nice job by the team to set up shaman on that play and so Curry will bring it up for Golden State they lead by One knocked loose there’s kaminga usma with the defensive effort the third quarter has not started well just one of four for the lead the Warriors Pull It in kaminga got rebound number seven for him tonight Looney with it picked up by kozma and he drops in the layup off the
Glass Looney’s got his third bucket of the night kaban Looney on the inside doing a little bit of damage now kma outside a touch over two and 1/2 minutes of basketball played here in the third quarter It’s rebounded by kaminga kaminga got his eighth rebound here tonight and the shots just continue to say no in terms of falling Wizards Trail by three shamut with it nine points in the game so far and there’s the pass to kma he Nails it and we’re tied up k got 12
He seems to have just lost his touch only one for his first five here in the quarter back to Curry on deep rebound by the Wizards gafford’s got seven rebounds in the game from deep ginari and it’s Looney with the rebound Looney’s got his seventh rebound
Of the game with that last one the 15-footer good 15 points in the game Looney knows his role good at keeping the ball moving and finding the right man for the shot pass to shamut back to kozma Curry against P down to five on the shot clock and the foul called on
Cavon Looney that’s foul number two for him and Washington making a change here wizard s number zero and now let’s take a a look again at that incredible rejection and boy did he get up quick to reject that shot that’s as fundamental as defense gets alinari
Outside that doesn’t go in had a chance though to take the lead the Warriors leading Curry outside rebounded by [Applause] Gafford shamut on the wing he’s covered by Thompson yeah easy call play Thompson first personal foul third team foul and a look at how the offensive
Approach has been going here so far for the Warriors well I’ve been impressed with the ball movement all game long they’re really looking to just make that extra pass well the three-point shot has been absolutely huge for them this entire game and let’s be honest you have to
Knock down threes to win games these [Applause] days and he makes the first tus Jones he’s checked in for Jordan Co and so he hits both Warriors have gone a lackluster three of nine from the field since half time and the Warriors decide to take their first timeout [Applause]
Here time to show off your dub me Pride loud of section gets free t-shirt welome let’s hear it for your warriors D [Applause] team kaminga finds Curry and it’s good two points 20 points for Stephen Curry know if Curry is in the first second or third ring of the circus but those
Circus shots are looking pretty routine here’s Jones he scores his fifth field goal he’s taking nine shots to get those five and you got to love the big bucket in the paint and this sort of a grinded out game passes it to Thompson Golden State moving the ball
Around he kicks to kaminga lock at six almost but it rolls out Washington’s gone two of five with a three-point shot since coming out of the break here’s shamet sweet little floater Landry shamut got 13 D has been just completely helpless and turned around he’s so dangerous when he’s in this kind of
Rhythm [Applause] and he uses the glass on the layup 17 points in the game now how about how he sets his man up there runs him right into the screen and then gets the basket Jones kicks to shanet fires from the wing curry with the rebound and here’s Curry who brings it
Up for the Warriors good for basket number seven tonight on a not so Unlucky 13 shots Washington [Applause] trailer pass to [Applause] shamut and there’s the whistle illegal screen that one stings there hurts so much more to turn the ball over especially with how tight game
Is Davis the Warriors have gone at a pretty good shooting Pace they’re 6 to 13 from the field here in the third inside and the Slam by Moody and that’s a superb pass coming for curry that time to scan the floor and found the guy for a clean look kicks it to
Jones the pass to shamut that shot missing the Warriors go the other way things really clicking for at the offensive end they’re making good decisions not wasting these opportunities the assist totals Kevin just continue to grow they’re way ahead in that category ball movement has been Flawless Jones the pass to
Shamut now here’s Gafford defended by Looney and there’s the call it’s going to be 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 yeah a quick little lean like that is going to get
The ref’s attention foul call catching up on the changes for Golden State sh has checked in for Looney Andrew Wiggins comes in for Klay Thompson and it’s Paul in for Stephen Curry here’s Paul on the money with the open jumper just a great hustle play there energy and passion
This is what you play the game for time called here the Wizards decide to talk it over well Brank Chris Paul is undoubtedly one of the smartest players in the NBA and that’s why he’s been able to maintain such a high level a play for
So long as one of his teammates said he has an IQ that’s going to keep him on the floor until he’s 50 Wizards trailed by [Applause] nine here’s Jones 10 points for him and up the court come the warriors on the break the second chance effort a nice shot by
Moody Moody’s got his second basket of the night and there’s a pattern starting to take shape here they’re working in inside and getting good shots from close range covered by Wiggins Jones looking for an opening shot clock at five trying to end the the drought Gafford misses all the energy is on the
Other side right now and every Miss just makes it worse well the other team is scorching hot and they come down on this end and can’t find a way to get the Embers going pass to wigin three-pointer rebound by the Wizards gafford’s got nine rebounds now tonight here’s
Ginari laid in with a nice touch off the glass ginari has got eight points is showing some nice body control outstanding at keeping his composure and continuing to play at his speed is ginar pass to Moody Fires for three rebound Washington gafford’s got double digit rebounds now in the game
They’ve been looking out of sink offensively yeah that their offense has ground to a [Applause] stand the putback controls the rebound and puts it back up in you know we talk about it all the time guys those Second Chance buckets always the result of that extra effort and here is
Moody here’s Paul ginari with the rebound ginar has got four rebounds now tonight they’ve been able to have some team success in this game despite what’s been an awful shooting night for him now here’s Wright nothing yet on the scoreboard for him fires the three offensive rebound Gafford good for
Another field goal number five in the night Five for 10 shooting and boy have they been hitting the backboard in this game or what kind of surprising it’s such a tight game back to [Applause] Wiggins 141 left the play here on the third gets the three-pointer to fall and the
Warriors lead by eight just a little confusion among the D as to who was supposed to be on it covered by Wiggins right inside pass to Gafford the Wizards working the ball around now poked away shot on the way Jones no luck Warriors leading by Eight there’s 57 seconds left in the third quarter that one Falls Moody’s got six and matador defense that’s one of the easiest shots he is ever going to see yeah feels like Christmas right now just gift drafting points alinari out side and the call on the shot it sends him to the
Line when you’re defending Gallow you have to be careful because he is exceptional at drawing the defense into him when he’s shooting the Wizards up made nine free throws in the game 14 attempts and free throw good from ginari and one of the problems in the first half that
Shoty work at the free throw line they needed to fix that and they’ve been much improved since the break and Washington making a change here kma’s checked in both good from the line that time makes it pretty tough on the defense who you going to pick to send to the free throw
Line and he’s hitting the free throws right now form looks good from the line and there are the Warriors now with another bucket anytime CP3 gets inside the three-point line or especially inside the top of the key he’s in the immediate threat the pass to kma pass to G up the
Three and the rebound goes to the Warriors Wiggins left side and the last shot at the buzzer doesn’t go in for him and so it’s the Golden State Warriors with a 10 point lead some Breathing Room heading into the break they’re ping the ball inside and that’s where they’ve
Gotten their best production tonight and we’ll be back with you shortly and let’s go back to a terrific pass that we’re calling tonight our State Farm assist of the game and he he may not be known as a pass first guy playing out of the two
Guard spot but he shows here that he can Dole out an assist or two when he needs to even though the position is called shooting guard passing part of your responsibilities in today’s game fourth quarter of action is upon us thanks as always for joining us fourth
Quarter on the court for the Wizards they’ve got Daniel Gafford Jordan p is out there with Landry shamet then there’s Kyle [Applause] kozman now here’s Looney covered by Gaff balls knocked loose and that’s out of bounds Golden State will retain possession Domingas come in for Andrew Wigan for your Warrior Jonathan [Applause]
MinGa curry curry curry cool against [Applause] Curry six on the shot clock that one no no good and I wouldn’t put it past them guys who eventually start hitting those given what he did in the first half and it’s jamut missing Warriors leading by [Applause] 10 steps back and shoots Washington with the
Rebound 60 seconds off the clock here in the fourth hits the jump hook shamon’s got it back down to single digits for the Wizards Curry kicks to Thompson passes to kaminga here’s Curry guarded by P and it’s Stephen Curry with a free Curry Curry’s got 23 having a lot of trouble
Stopping the three-point [Applause] shot final quarter of play about a minute and a half off the clock into it and cont back on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here and P playing aggressive on the inside just forcing the defense to come at him shooting for Washington Jordan P two [Applause]
[Applause] shots first free throw is good and they are making it look easy at the free throw line here in the second half Paz checked in for Washington all free throws good from pool just about one and A2 minutes gone by here in the fourth curry with the bounce pass [Applause] From Deep rebound Washington gafford’s got rebound number 13 for him here Tonight pool against Curry cool no good Warriors leading by nine here’s Thompson goes to the reverse layup and CS it in they are just killing them on the interior pass to shamut Beyond The Ark down goes basket number six for him this game he’s taken 12 shots and made half
Of them and that stroke from three from shamut right now looks beautiful scoring it well right now they get it back here’s kaminga and the rejection by Gafford ABIA the pass to Sham and here is co the pass to kma kept alive he hangs in there and
Cashes in on the second chance points and those Second Chance points really become almost like bonus points when you can get them Curry kicks to [Applause] Thompson guarded by kma back to Thompson sham it with the steel all alone goes up high for the two-handed dunk that’s a
Stomach punch guys turn it over and give him a free run to the bucket oh you’re so right no question who has the momentum now execution with Pace that’s a bad turnover that simply was telegraphed yeah they’re going to have a nice little run here Thompson outside and stolen by
Kozma to take the lead connects from three-point range and the Wizards lead by one and we’ll get a look at how the hustle stat game has been going for Washington I like their defense tonight and we don’t talk about that side of the ball enough but you can really change a game when
You get a bunch of steals and get out in transition War feel like another part of tonight’s game has been the hustle the hustle points getting up and down getting Second Chances getting transition opportunities they’ve been fantastic in that area with a short break in the action gives us a chance
Now to send it over to David Aldridge thanks Kevin well Steve Kerr talk to his team during the break not happy with the way this game is going he said you’re getting used out there on the perimeter inside the ark are doing some good things but outside we’re a disaster
Tighten it up de we’ll see if they can close out on their shoes a little more effectively okay David much appreciated and it’s jamut missing that’s the only kind of Defense that’s going to cut the mustard here tonight you got to stay on top of a guy like
That who can play at such a high level offensively and the whistle blows it’s going to be on Kyle kma and that’ll be his third foul so [Applause] far [Applause] pass Tooney outside Curry and again it’s the Warriors missing Washington’s gone two for two from three-point L to start the fourth [Applause]
Quarter po up top guarded by kirry and that one good now it’s a three-point Wizards lead well if it ain’t broke don’t fix it they keep getting it in the paint and continue to score consistently back to Curry to the inside now Looney will it go Thompson fouled in the
AC of shooting gets the bucket anyway so a three-point play chance for him I like how Klay right now is hitting the boards helping out the rest of of his teammates and that’s good timing on the jump Frank we know that Klay Thompson had 941 days between NBA games because of those
Injuries but he was using that experience away for good and Clay announcing with that his family Foundation would have a 941 day initiative programs to help workers who have suffered career setbacks Thompson helping others with their comeback for Washington they’ve gotten more than 58% of their attempts to go
Down for them in the fourth quarter they’re seven of 12 passes it to [Applause] [Applause] TMA back to shamet here’s the three and it’s Looney with the rebound Looney’s got nine rebounds in the game getting it done wasted no time on that one points in the game and great intensity here down the stretch he’s not one to shrink in the moment well take a
Look at him locked in right now in this moment wants the ball in his hands and feels real comfortable with the shot he’s [Applause] taking two free throws coming up and they call the shooting has great size and with that frame comes great responsibility that time he took the
Foul at the line for two fre throw good [Applause] guzma [Applause] and both free throws good for kozma Golden State’s gone into a funk from downtown in the fourth only one of their five three-pointers has found the bottom of the bucket pass to Curry back to [Applause]
Thompson four on the shot clock no problems knocking that one down and the Warriors lead by three is it possible his sweet touch is getting sweeter guys Washington calls timeout the short rest very important and one of the benefits at this part of the game is getting on
The same page with your team while having the chance to hydrate with gatoring replenish your energy for the late game Push And now let’s present our New Balance player of the game it’s a take charge brand of basketball he’s been playing tonight his point total tells you all you need to know about just how good he’s been and and once he got going their game plan really became simple
Just get him the ball alinari he’s checked in for [Applause] AIA Curry against P here’s shamet three-pointers Off the Mark Warriors leading by three a shot by Thompson and no one’s around off Target with his three cool on the wing guarded by Curry cool no good Warriors shooting well they’re at
45% with the floater the shot no good now the Wizards take it the other way they get to take on the Blazers at Portland after this one match up Falls in the middle game of this three- game trip a defense so concerned with shamet and his shot making ability he makes the
Play that time guarded by kman Curry way outside rebounded by Gafford gafford’s got his 16th rebound on the night 13 ft away he’s off on that one the Warriors shooting in the fourth quarter not pretty down around 29% Looney with the bucket nice job by Klay Thompson just taking a step back
Team needed a play he made it and there’s the vast to shamut now here is ganar here’s kma and that one swishes right in and that’s 19 points for Kyle kozma and obviously his momentum from the last game has carried over here tonight yeah and the coach pretty smart
For zoning in on him and giving him opportunities to stay with that confident play and fe’s the bucket from kaminga and really as the three-pointers keep dropping you get the sense that the frustration is mounting for the defense Co the pass to shamet stolen by Thompson and up the
Court come the warriors on the break Thompson with the ball that one doesn’t drop Wizards trailed by four and Stephen Curry with the foul that will get him his fourth foul of the game third and you can see he just didn’t get squared up with his [Applause] feet P the pass to kma
Now shamut there’s the triple gets it to go from Beyond the AR shamon’s got a pair of Threes here in the fourth quarter for the [Applause] Wizards Curry against P shoots it up Curry gets the bucket Curry’s got five points now in the quarter he’s a guy that lives for a big
Moment like that great focus and courage in the clutch deflects the pass stolen by Thompson and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up Kay takes that foul and still getting his shot off at the line for the dubs Klay Thompson two [Applause] shots first one Falls [Applause] [Applause]
For both shots good from the strike right Wizards Trail by five P kicks to kozma alinari on the Wing Fades and the rebound goes to the Warriors they’ve led by as many as 11 points Curry outside rebound by the Wizards Kos got 11 rebounds in the game ginari up top two minutes remaining in the game two minutes back to kuzma just find the shoot it’s rebounded
By kaminga Warriors leading by five to the right side and the rejection by Gafford they get it back alinari trying to get open Domingo and they finally get it to go a full night’s work on the boards in one trip down the floor 131 left in the fourth quarter
Here’s P enari treding to get open and P gets it to go wow and that’s a big splash from P the Warriors shooting in a decent 44% clip here here’s Curry but teardrop falls in Curry’s got N Point now in just the second half when the
Player gets a feel for that floater it can really make things tough on Defenders you’re just not sure how to guard them and where your point of commitment is and so it looks like the Wizards will retain possession here Washington [Applause] ball one seven left in the fourth
Quarter and the basket is good kma’s got nine points now in the quarter and kozma coming alive with that bucket in the clutch step back shot again Golden State and kind of par for the course here right coming through with a solid offensive game to help them get this
Lead Washington calls timeout they’re trailing by seven there’s 53 seconds left in the fourth quarter [Applause] and one more time let’s hear it for your warriors dun Team get up and make some noise once again for your warriors D team here he goes Co no good they’re in good position here to ride it out well certainly if they just play smart this game’s over some nice passing by Golden Stadium here’s kaminga count it number five from the four this
Game he’s now five of 11 and once they smelled blood in the water you could see the Killer Instinct take over yeah up until that point a competitive game but once they broke through that barrier it was all them complete control now there’s some easy offense there keep
Finding looks in that area and their shooting percentages tonight are going to be off the charts nice shot by Thompson impressive job by the players coaches and don’t discount the impact of these fans awesome to see their output tonight trying to urge their team on and that can always help that that home
Advantage of home fans getting you going fully on display here nice delivery there you can’t hesitate when a man comes free on the perimeter he got it went right right into the shot so we see the Warriors get the win here they didn’t make it easy on
Themselves or their F but in the end everyone satisfied I mean there were some times that that momentum shifted and and and especially early on but let’s give this group a lot of credit for that stiven in terms of finishing out in well Grant we’ve seen the NBA evolve
Quite a bit since your playing days how do you think you’d be used in today’s game versus when you played well ba with the spacing in today’s game and my ability to slash to the rim I think I would still be able to get to the basket
Dominate in the mid-range but I’d be shooting way more threes and I would see more minutes playing as a small ball power forward as well so a look at our starters for the Wizards we’ve got Danilo galinari Landry Shaman is out there with Jordan P then it’s Daniel
Gafford and it’s kozma in at the small forward position now here’s [Applause] Looney on the wing Thompson Pass to Curry launches a three yes and a nice assist from Thompson such a quick release as soon as the ball touches his hands it’s gone kma Outside here’s galinari he’s watched by kaminga [Applause] sham it no good just enough resistance to force them Miss barely that’s one he’ll generally Make outside Curry here’s kuminga rebound Washington not that time but that’s a shot that he’s going to make more often times than not here’s p and the bucket is good and we talk about the importance of Versatility he’s really got it all on the offensive [Applause] end and here’s kaminga for three hits
The trifecta and that’s what they want to do get him open looks early for Washington they’ve gone one for three so far kma [Applause] outside here in the first quarter with about two minutes gone by here’s shamet the three-pointer Off the Mark the Warriors have gone two of three from the
Floor takes a three another three for Golden State he can really stroke it from Deep you have to keep better tabs on him pass to galinari kuzma outside shoots over kaminga it’s kozma with the Miss just haven’t found their their offensive footing yet only managing the sync one
Of their first five shots well entering the NBA can be a difficult Challenge and age can add to that challenge Jonathan kaminga was just 19 years old when he stepped onto an NBA court being so young for his draft class kaminga has done well in the league Richard what I like
Is how he’s capitalized on his minutes any chance he gets the shine he works hard to make the most of it that’s the kind of dedication that is in valuable in a young guy that free throw misses the former home of the Warriors Richard Oakland
What was it like to play over in the East Bay listen it was a lot more fun when I was playing in a Warriors uniform versus playing against them those crowds are insane maybe the loudest in the NBA although the Boston fans might have a little bit of something to say about
That but I must say this new building is gorgeous he hits the second from the line you know the Wizards really came up short last season on the defensive end they consistently struggle to get stops which makes it twice as hard to win games now here’s P an effective score
For them scoring around 21 and half points a game kma the pass to P shoots over Curry oh and again unable to change momentum here just wonder how the Wizards can remedy their defensive weaknesses from last year Well ba mindset is a big part of it they just need to have better
Focus on pressuring the ball handlers and making sure shots are getting well contested ideal way to start the game come out of the gate and knock down all but one of your first five shots left side galinari Pass to kozma four on the clock excellent D there from kuminga Fantastic defense giving full effort Looney with the ball K picks him up here’s Curry Two Shots two makes off to a good start and what’s working here each guy is willing to make the next pass now a timeout called by Washington
They’re moving on after a tough loss they took at the hands of the Pacers it was frankly embarrassing I was shocked by their disorganization and I think they were too well we’ll see how they respond after that weak performance it should tell us a lot about their character as a team And a look here at the shooters doing the most damage from long range this season fifth best playay Thompson well the shooting percentage he’s cultivated from Deep range is so impressive his three-point shot is about as good as you can hope for pass to shaman kma for three Looney grabs a miss and
Here are the Warriors now a 14-2 run over the last pit they’ve shown so much energy right from the start particularly on the offensive end They Came Out Swinging really set in the tone on offense and the opposition has not been able to respond pass to kozma 43 and he’s now
One for four after that one good fundamental basketball from K there there he works hard to find those shots and support his team Thompson outside to me to me another three for Golden State this has been just a Dreadful start for them defensively not good at all here’s [Applause]
Shaman pass to kozma for Three Fires in the triple kma kma’s got his second bucket of the night and this is just fun these teams are trading threes back and forth this is today’s NBA hey we see this kind of exchange more often than not now here’s Curry Five Points in the
Game oh galinari with a [Applause] steal P with a ball here’s shamut looking for his first basket still in this one jacks up a three the Warriors Pull It in kaming has got four rebounds Now Thompson with it P picks him up Curry the basket’s good off the assist from
Thompson Thompson’s got three assists tonight pass to Shaman here’s Gafford now here’s P he’s covered by Curry now kozma Fires for three buries it from three kma kma’s got nine points you give a shooter of his caliber that much time to seam it up oh yeah you’re done Thompson Outside now here’s Looney the kick out Curry there’s the triple another three for Golden State he’s going off this quarter a huge reason why this team is on top pool against Curry cool the pass to Gafford it’s stolen by Curry The rebound by the Wizards kozma with the ball nine points in the game to the middle here’s galinari count the bucket coming off a perfectly placed pass and this has been the book on galinari play him physical don’t give him space but you see how he’s adjusted to that back to Curry
Pass to kaminga just five on the clock let’s go with a three that shot no good and Washington the other way now last time they met in Washington well in this last matchup they captured the win in large part because their backups provided a lot of the scoring punch and you can
Tell how important having depth is for them sometimes it’s the difference between a win and a loss golden stayed with the ball they lead by 11 here’s Thompson Gafford grabs the Miss Washington has gone three of six shooting from Beyond The Arc and a miss there with a chance to
Cut the lead to single digits here’s Thompson lays it up and Banks it in Thompson’s got his second basket of the game and this defense needs to turn the screws and ramp up the intensity they’re looking a little loose out there right now Washington calls timeout and we
Think back to 2015 Grand Klay Thompson with the best quarter in league history oh ba 37 points from him in one quarter setting an NBA record clay 13 for 13 from the field and 9 for9 from Deep taking only four dribbles the entire time only Klay Thompson guys
On defense the Warriors it’s a 13-point [Applause] game here’s kford and right now he’s currently putting up 6 and A2 points per game first team [Applause] foul knocked loose it’s stolen by Looney in transition here come the Warriors and the Slam dunp by Thompson so far they’re
Owning both ends of the floor we’ll see if they can keep this going they came out and bum rushed them huge difference in activity level from both teams tonight the screener was leaning a bit right there his feet may not have been planted pretty obvious call by the
Officials look guys get away with this all the time but on this occasion he got caught pass to Thompson outside kaminga Looney with the [Applause] ball Gafford grabs the Miss they’re playing with a lot of energy tonight we can see that in their dominance on the glass here’s
Kford now here’s Jones a Dependable player on offense giving them over 13 a game and there’s the call it’s going to be an illegal screen and that’s two awful trips in a row resulting in turnovers Chris Paul he’s checked in for the Warriors AIA he’s checked in for [Applause]
Washington and the Warriors with possession the lead lead is 15 a tough loss coming against the Lakers in their last game played I really didn’t see much of an edge from them a little more intensity could have gone a long way yeah you hate to be critical but that’s
Part of our job you have to call it the way we see it that night they were flat here’s ABIA right now averaging five and a half a game Looney grabs a [Applause] Miss to the inside finga Washington with a rebound here’s ABIA he’s watched by kuminga pass to Jones to end the drought doesn’t go and he’s 0 for one from the floor and the Warriors with possession 15-point [Applause] game heyo now Paul from Deep nice start for him
Sinking his first shot they’ve really built this lead on the back of their perimeter game we’ll see if they can keep this pace not sure they can win it by relying on just the three here’s obia now quiet so far offensively searching for his first points of the game and
It’s 69 Denny ABIA with great size for a wing yeah ba can you combine that with his motor too I mean he’s already excellent Defender with the versatility to cover inside and out and let’s take a moment here to get your take guys on the scoring so far for the
Warriors first one Falls for him and with their title last season the Warriors now with seven in franchise history no no longer tied with the bulls they are alone in ranked third all [Applause] time and so he makes both from the line and the Warriors still have a long way
To go to surpass the Celtics and the Lakers for total championships each with 17 but their ambition from the top down is to do exactly that they want to be in their own words the greatest organization on Earth definitely playing the long game outside Jones and there’s the whistle illegal
Screen is the call you can get away with one once in a while but it looked like he wasn’t completely set on that pick you got to blow the whistle when it’s that obvious great call there by the official a remarkable defensive play the replay showing once again the tenacity
On that end yeah just some terrific effort there and you know the whole team will get an energy boost off a block like that one now the warriors with it they’re on a 12 to4 run Paul passes to Looney 55 seconds left in the opening quarter foul number zero first personal
Foul second team foul [Applause] 52 seconds left in the first here’s Paul and so he draws the foul headed to the line to shoot a pair all right here’s a tip for the defense this avoid sending Chris Paul to the line at all cuse because he will
Punish you if you do at the line for two no good on that one the thing I love about Chris Paul is that he is so focused on making his teammates better every team would love to have a floor General like that and he sinks the second
There’s 47 seconds left in the first quarter outside Jones three-pointer kaminga pulls it in kinga’s got five rebounds tonight right side [Applause] Paul rebound by the Wizards gafford’s got his fifth Rebound in this one here’s Jones the shot comes out nice D from Paul and stolen by Jones on the
Break and here’s kissper from the ark knocks Down The Long J three-pointer 7 seconds left in the first here’s Paul no good misses at the buzzer Stephen Curry getting it done for the Warriors he put together 10 points in the quarter more 2K action in just a
Moment here we go make some noise War great to have you with us second quarter of basketball this game has not exactly been neck and neck but plenty of time left in this one boy for the Warriors this has been the game they’ve wanted to have well it seems like they went in
Looking to do damage from long range and they face Little Resistance their points came almost exclusively from Beyond The Arc and as this game continues that should open up the floor for the rest of their offense and so in the game for Washington tus Jones is out there with
Jordan P then there’s Kyle kozma then it’s Daniel Gafford and here’s Thompson for three rebounded by kozma and the defense dodged one right there not the guy you want to leave open Jones in the post he’s watched by kuminga so it’ll be two free throws he was fouled in the act shooting second
Foul it’s going to be on Jonathan kaminga well that was clearly a foul since entering the league in 2015 tus Jones has proven to be as reliable As It Gets A multi-talented guard who plays to his [Applause] [Applause] strengths and he can’t get the the first one and what you appreciate about Jones is how under contr control he is Richard he’s never in a rush it’s what allows the game to come so naturally to him he’s skilled at keeping things very simple solid at setting the pace for
Himself and his Squad Curry he’s checked in for [Applause] Paul and the second free throw is good Golden State has gone six of eight from the three-point line in this matchup and here’s Curry 26 points for him last game against the Lakers and a big part of that was his aggressiveness
Drawing contact and get to the line great teamwork and great timing oh spectacular Play back to cool just five to shoot the Wizards need to get off a shot here and the dunk by gaer and although he’s undersized his position his vertical yeah that’ll clean up a few mistakes back to Curry Looney up top he’s guarded by Gafford over to the left wing driving to the basket nice work defensively meeting him up top and forcing the Miss pass to p and that one goes in as he’s fouled it’ll be three points if he converts the free throw when we talk about guys who broke out during the 2021 22 season
Jordan pool might be at the top of that list going from a nice rotation player to a legit NBA scorer free throw good P talking about Jordan P his confidence never wer Richard no remember P shot 33% his rookie season lots of people kind of wrode him off but
Jordan’s always believed in his game took advantage of the injuries to Clay step grabbing those extra shots Washington’s gone four of nine so far from the perimeter we’re now about 2 minutes into the second quarter pass to P he’s off on that one and it’s the Warriors taking it the other way earlier
In the game they led by 19 it’ll be the front end of a two- game Road Trip kozma against kaminga inside and Gafford with the block P against Curry P outside pulls it and again Washington no good yeah you have to knock those down open shots
Inside the arc are rare in this lead Curry passes to [Applause] kaminga and about three minutes played now in the second quarter on the Wing Jones defended by Thompson to the paint and he takes that one up and Powers it through now that’s how you use the screen right there and it leads
To a thunderous finish that was nice yeah you like the pick to set up the open shot but when it leads to a Doug okay even better you’ll take it now here’s Curry 10 points for him and the Warriors Miss again here’s Jones and the layup is good off
The glass yeah he was able to sneak into the rim not enough room to get just like an easy [Applause] layup back to Curry Looney High post working on Gafford they get the rebound Looney passes to kaminga oh plenty of contact on that shot officials call the foul and
He’ll take two free throws now it’s going to go on Jordan pool and every team those games where you just don’t have it why does that happen I think first of all 82 games It’s a Grind of a season you factor in traveling injuries players out for different reasons you’re going
To have moments like this where it just doesn’t happen you know what you do you learn from it you move on and you get ready for the next night and that one misses and Grant you played on a Sun’s team whose training staff was renowned is that still a differentiator
Between teams or has everybody caught up and on the same level now you know ba I think everyone’s caught up you know 15 years ago the sun’s training staff was ahead of their time but now teams are all much more sophisticated they understand injury prevention rest recovery really aiding the players and I
Think adding years for players in the back end of their careers for Washington they’ve gone four for six here in the second floats one up Jones’s shot is good Jones has got five points now this quarter just so successful getting the ball inside and finding those great
Looks and the Warriors call time here and from the sideline let’s catch up with allly well guys the NBA expanding its footprint through video games Commissioner Adam Silver said quote There’s an opportunity to Capt a new kind of fan who isn’t currently watching our games but enjoys playing NBA 2K by
Learning about the players and the teams they’re more likely to engage in the live product Brian yeah it goes hand in hand Ally [Applause] thanks Wiggins outside back to Curry clock at six Golden State needs to get off a shot Wiggins from long range and it’s good assisting on the play was Curry Curry’s got four assists now tonight pool outside Curry against [Applause] Jones and he was camped in the lane there he gets a 3se second call we’ve seen more than a few miscues from them tonight and if they want to come back in this game look they got to clean up those mistakes Jackson Davis golden state has
Gone one of two from deep in the second quarter outside Curry down low here’s kuminga oh an amazing finish with a hand right in his face kinga’s got five points in the quarter P the pass to kozma and here’s Gafford here’s Jones add that to his
Line now three for six and force feeding the ball inside I mean no reason to go away from what’s working Wiggins outside pass to kaminga now here’s Thompson over P again the Warriors score he has been a key factor for them offensively scoring with consistency P with a ball here’s galinari kma outside Jones against Curry here’s Gafford gets it to go that makes him two for three in this game very little resistance around
The rim right now that’s the fifth straight bucket they’ve given up in the paint Thompson outside the three from Curry Gafford grabs the Miss gafford’s got six rebounds in the game and after connecting twice from deep in the first quarter he hasn’t been able to drain another here in the second and he’s
Really an assertive offensive presence kma shows no mercy when attacking the defense kma line for [Applause] two and the first one at the line is good and they seem to have taken a more headone approach this quarter and is getting them to the free throw line no good on the second free throw
Golden state has gotten 21 points so far from three-point L they’re seven of 10 and they’re going to count that bucket and they’ll send him to the line it could be a three-point play it’s going to be Thompson shooting foul it’s going to go on Jordan P Jordan second personal foul second team foul at the line for the dubs playay Thompson one shot one of the greatest Shooters we’ve ever seen Thompson is also a proven winner and champion pool outside back to Jones now Gafford 14 points for him last game against Indiana and can we talk
About the best part his defense his shot blocking was simply on another level in that one back to Wiggins all sorts of time and the Warriors tack on two more he’s so effective from the mid-range when wigin senses an opportunity to score from there he doesn’t hesitate at
All Jones the pass to galinari and the officials whistle a foul on the shot the bucket is good and he’ll go to the line third person foul and they’re in a better flow this quarter offensively and their shooting percentage is steadily Rising as a result shamut he’s checked in for [Applause]
Curry with it he’s got 10 Thompson outside Wiggins from long range the basket’s good off the assist from Thompson Thompson’s got four assists in the game and after a scoreless first quarter he’s finding his offense here’s Shaman well he hasn’t scored yet but I’m sure that’ll change here’s kuzma uses
The glass to finish the layup it was a rough start for them scoring the ball but they look like now they’re really finding their rhythm in flow Curry finds Thompson pass to Wiggins Thompson outside six to shoot from the high post Second Chance shot no luck they battled on the glass
But they couldn’t knock it down on the Wing Jones and just wasn’t able to set up in time first personal foul 15 foul at the line for the Wizards tus Jones taking two shots and he drops the first showing more aggression here in the second quarter he’s seeking contact and working himself
To the line and the Warriors making a switch here Hall’s checked [Applause] in Jones hits them [Applause] both golden state is gone two of four from the perimeter in the second so far Wiggins outside pass to Thompson outside Paul kaminga with it he’s covered by galinari oh power down with both
Handso defensively he can’t afford to let him get to the rim that easily well that might be why their deficit is what it is right now yeah it’s going to take better Rim protection than that if they’re going to climb out of this hole now here’s Kozo he’s got 12 good good
Woo pass to Paul over Gafford stolen by Gafford and here’s the fast break here’s kuzma good that’s his fifth bucket in nine attempts it’s just one of those nights where he’s been very good but his team is losing and that’s just an odd feeling right side kaminga banked it in
Off the glass kinga’s got seven now in this quarter heating up in the second quarter he looks locked and loaded pass to [Applause] shamon now here’s kozma he’s coming off a 19-point game against Indiana and let’s not forget about the assist his playmaking was critical for this team four on the
Clock the shot off that time so Golden State will take it the other way kaminga finds Paul and stolen by Jones to the inside Gafford and the dunk by Gafford and that’s what happens when you don’t take care of the ball hey that makes the turnover hurt even more we
Know mistakes lead to breaks that’s just textbook right there and for Washington they’re shooting 47% on this one looking efficient it was good to see Andrew Wiggins make his first Allstar team team in 2022 for a player with such a great career it was long overdue and for the Warriors they’re
Shooting around 53% a nice number and it’s good fought through contact hit the shot and will go to the line well Wiggins didn’t just get an All-Star selection in 2022 Richard he was picked as a starter and that’s saying something for a man who isn’t always the focal point of his
Team’s offense doesn’t need to be the main guy he wants to be the glue that holds the team together the Wizards making a switch here kisser checked in 124 left in the second [Applause] quarter here’s shamut well he hasn’t put up any points yet in this [Applause] one here’s [Applause]
Kford here’s Gafford the third shot of The Possession finally Falls for him gafford’s got eight points in the quarter o he’s on a bit of a heater now he hasn’t missed one this quarter yet Wiggins outside over kisser and the shot’s good by Wiggins Wiggins has got 10 points in
The game this quarter has been all his I suggest they keep the ball in his hands back to Jones Pass to Kissper here’s shaman five on the clock Jones with the ball over Paul they get it back Jones misses and they’re plus five on the boards after that [Applause] rebound no luck on that [Applause] one oh he got it up in time but it wouldn’t fall for him and so we’ve
Reached the end of the first half of play the warriors on top up by 15 and we’ll be right back after halftime to get the third quarter underway and now the 2K sports halftime show hey again everybody I’m Ernie Johnson Shaq is here Kenny’s here you’re watching the NBA halftime show on 2K
Sports Jonathan kaminga led the way in the first half he had 16 points three assists and eight rebounds he came in with something to prove tonight after having a very tough outing in their last game taking a look at the Warriors Kenny what’ you think they score very
Effectively with the exception of ball movement and play calling they were able to exploit multiple weaknesses in the defense they’ve got to feel good about running out to a huge lead sha what was your Takeaway on Washington just bad interior defense from them through other half they’re getting push
Around allowing easy looks that’s the kind of D I love to face so I’ve had at least 30 by now [Applause] guys and that’ll do it for our halftime report stay tuned for the second half about to get underway time to get up and make and after a very lopsided first half we’ll
See if things play out a little more evenly in the second you look at Jonathan k MinGa what a contribution here yeah they’ve done an amazing job of creating room to operate for him and then of course executing I like how they came into this one with the game plan
And they’re just going out and executing it terrific job and with a big gap on the scoreboard the second half begins with very different goals for these teams one side trying to mount a comeback one side trying to protect their lead Curry and Thompson pair up at the one of the two
Jonathan Kingz out there with Andrew Wiggins and that’s the group for Steve Kerr as we begin the second half and that’s how you defend he wasn’t showing any Mercy with that swap yeah I love that they maintain the defensive energy even when they’re behind and the Wizards shooting just 42%
So far in the game kozma outside back to pool wide open doesn’t go for him and Golden State will come the other way earlier in the game they led by 19 and making the extra pass wigin teammates appreciate his willingness to get it to them when they’re uncovered pass to
Shaman and here is kuzma right side galinari carries it down low galinari has got his third basket on the night right there nice ball movement there that’s how you break down the defense Thompson outside second half Rolling Along about a minute played here offensive board Wiggins oh and there’s the whistle on
The shot so two free throws for him coming up yeah the first overall pick in 2014 Andrew Wiggins has carved out a nice career as a scoring Wing Drew Wiggins two shots and he makes a [Applause] [Applause] first [Applause] no good on the second so he hits one of
Two the Wizards on offense they Trail by 16 they’ll be off to Portland for a meeting with the Trailblazers after this one that’ll be their second of three games total on this road trip Thompson against P pass to Kevin takes the three sends it home from three-point land and what kind
Of defense was that you can’t give up wide open threes like that what are you Doing now Thompson he shoots connects the jumper drops Thompson’s got 15 points because of his footworking fundamentals Thompson always looks on balance and does a great job of squaring his shoulders back to p and he got the whistle on the way up so he’ll be headed to the line for a
Pair person foul first team foul shooting for Washington Jordan P two shots free throw good P kaminga he’s checked in for [Applause] [Applause] Wiggins and both free throws good for pool now he’s perfectly comfortable doing work at the line the Warriors have got two of three from the floor third
Quarter and here’s Curry 10 points for him kaminga down low working on Gafford it’s scooped up and the basket by Looney I’ll tell you what they’ve rebounded the ball tremendously well kuzma outside pass to Shaman from behind the Ark on Target from range Shaman’s gotten the second bucket a nice start to the
Second half they’ve made three out of their first four shots coming out of the break here’s Looney he’s guarded by Gafford and play stops a whistle there on what looks like an illegal screen you’re not going to fool the officials too often on an illegal screen that’s a
Very avoidable turnover you got to focus on the details the Wizards have gotten three or four shots to fall so far in the third here’s shamut defended by [Applause] Thompson Pass to P puts up a three and again Washington with a triple when you let a team knock down that many threes
You know you’re likely to be on the wrong side of a run oh there’s the alley throw it down on the LW wo I just love that alley slam PA defense disorganized defense pays P the pass to galinari and the officials will call the illegal screen here he’s been pretty careless with the
Ball four turnovers is a stat you do not want next to your name just over three and A2 minutes through the Third Curry against P lets it go from Deep gets the three ball to go he’s got nine just great awareness from Curry so good at reading the floor and finding his open teammates pass to shamon kuzma outside 13 ft out the reflected they really have a commanding
Lead not just in points but in rebounds as well and that one’s good Thompson they just look so overwhelmed inside that’s why they continue to get attacked now a timeout call by Washington things just aren’t going their way he clearly wants to talk it over good timeout if
You ask me they have the momentum and coach wants to find a way to try and stop him for your warriors [Applause] P against Curry back to p and the call is going to be yes on illegal screen the screener was leaning a bit right there his feet may not have
Been planted pretty obvious call by the officials look guys get away with this all the time but on this occasion he got caught the Warriors have gotten six of eight shots to go and looking good since the break Thompson finds Curry inside rebound by the Wizards kma’s got
His sixth rebound on the Night Pool [Applause] outside pass to kozma finds it again six for 12 and remaining assertive strong finish for kuzma he knows when to get aggressive and fights his way to the basket back to Curry here’s kuminga nice D from Gafford for Washington they’ve got gotten five of seven attempts in the third
Quarter Looney against p and there it is for him bu’s got seven points for the quarter golden state has gone one of two shooting from the perimeter since halftime here’s the three and the three-pointer goes and the Warriors lead by 15 and now with two three-pointers in each half
He’s really doing his all to help his team out from Deep pass to galinari [Applause] and the rebound goes to the Warriors earlier in the game they led by 19 here’s kuminga Gafford grabs the Miss gafford’s got 10 rebounds here tonight so active he’s covered by
Curry and he makes it on the layup okay when you let someone with this height get this close it’s going to be nearly impossible to stop especially when he has that big of an advantage in this category now here’s Curry 10 points for him to the [Applause]
Paint and he’s going to the line for two the officials saw contact while he was going up Daniel Gafford picks one up no debate there he got hammered a chance to catch up on some numbers here the scoring breakdown for the Warriors first free throw is good Moody checked
In for the Warriors and the Wizards making a change here as well rights checked in for galinari [Applause] and he makes both free throws Washington has gotten all three from downtown so far in the second half right outside to the middle the kick out to [Applause]
Pool five to shoot and there is the whistle that’ll go on Kavon Looney that’s foul number two for him and the warrior is making a switch here Hall’s checked in for your warriors chis Paul on defense the Warriors the lead is [Applause] 15 six on the shot clock and here’s
Wright from the AR kaminga pulls it in golden state has gone two of three from outside so far in the third [Applause] quarter Back to Paul second shot opportunity and he was fouled in the act of shooting opportunity for a three-point play here even though Paul is one of the smallest guys out there he is one of the toughest his toughness and his tenacity are unmatched charit checks in for Looney
And a change for the Wizards Jones is checked in at the line for one [Applause] [Applause] the free throw is off from Paul the Wizards have gotten seven of their first 11 attempts to go in this half and keeping us updated from the sideline Alli leforce well guys
Commissioner silver is open to change he said quote we’re not beholding to Pure tradition We Care a lot about it but all the factors I think about when we talk about changing the rules I’m less concerned about that we should live in the present be respectful of those
Records but also be willing to adjust when it makes sense all right thanks Al Washington calls timeout you look at Jonathan Kinga what a contribution here okay I’m going to take you guys inside the Huddle all right the message from coach is simple stop in 15 [Applause] one more time domination makes noise for the Warriors Junior Jam Squad Paul against Jones and he’s going for the lob ooh the de touch on the lob just a perfect pass and some pretty slick body control on the finish too man that’s butter pass to Moody fires from
Deep Second Chance effort no good on the shot and Washington the other way now to the inside Gafford and the D by gaffard and he’s now got the double double ba the oneand dug just looks so fluid and absolutely even smooth when he’s powering at home like [Applause]
That pass to Moody the three is up sinks the tray booody got himself on the board with a three there backto back threes making their defense work on the perimeter a bit back to Jones knocks it Loose here’s Moody hounded by Wright now Paul 11 points in the game shett shot is
Off pass to right over Moody and Washington again with the bucket pick works well there but the defense left a lot to be desired yeah that just comes down to a lack of effort the defender has to do a better job fighting through the screen now here’s charage here’s Paul two minutes
Remaining in the third 2 minutes shot clock at five pass to char yes and it’s Paul with the assist that time and the Warriors lead by 19 great recognition of the mismatch abusing the smaller Defender Porter guy Gafford against charge Gafford in the post 10 points for him and no good here’s Moody
A minute 22 left in the third quarter two points that one goes and just totally Relentless only increasing the intensity level always plays hard until the final whistle no matter what the situation is now here’s Jones he’s got 11 right [Applause] outside takes it into the teeth of the D
And converts the layup right’s gotten four this quarter that’s 10 straight points they’ve given up in the painted area huh another three for Golden State and this is how he shines he’s a big part of their floor space yeah and you got to know where he is at all times especially
When he’s roaming around the perimeter ready to fire now here’s right good he hits the jumper right got six points Z and they’ve been moving the ball really well tonight good things come to those who take good shots Jones against Paul oh and makes it with the kiss 13 points in the game look you got to appreciate the cleverness of Paul skilled at fending off Defenders and
Finding ways to score all the way through and so it’s the Golden State Warriors with a commanding 22-point lead going into the break it hasn’t taken them too many shots to get their points they’re wi and it’s time now to bring you our State Farm assist to the game you know
I’m kind of stoked this was a choice because I love this pass a remarkable find he put his court Vision on full display that wasn’t a better pass in the game almost like he had a six sense well there may not be a lot of drama down the stretch as we head into
The fourth quarter but stranger things have happened on the court right now for the Wizards they’ve got Landry shamut Daniel Gafford is out there with Danilo galinari then it’s Jordan p pass to Shaman three-pointer connects from downtown you can’t lose a shooter like him on the court the ball will find its
Way to him and he will drill a three each time on the wing Thompson the kick out to Wiggins this one for three the rebound by the [Applause] Wizards galinari with it and the shot count boun he’s fouled and it’s a chance for a three-point play kaminga he’s checked in for the
Warriors gisser checked in for Washington and the free throw no good the Warriors shooting is around 55% so far Wiggins outside pass to Thompson and here is kaminga kissper grabs a Miss here’s shamut Klay Thompson pulls down the board Thompson’s got rebound number five here tonight Wiggins no good for Washington
They’ve gone two of three to open the fourth quarter here’s shamet and he drops in the layup off the glass shamit got 11 points here in the second half and after being held scoreless in the first half he’s starting to turn it on pass to Wiggins back to
Curry Looney with the ball it’s Wiggins on the wing inside and it’s Thompson that time on the assist by Wiggins Thompson’s got 19 points those high percentage looks are easy for Thompson he’s just got the touch for inside shots now galinari [Applause] here’s Shaman back to galinari shot clock at
Six no good on the three the Warriors have gone one to four since the fourth quarter [Applause] began Thompson against P pass to kaminga there’s the three rebound Washington gafford’s got 12 rebounds here tonight Big Time effort yeah no triples for him here in the second half one fell in the first though
Can he turn it up puts it up from 17 that one a little long golden state is gone 0 for three here on the fourth Thompson left side oh you can tell he’s feeling it now 10 of 14 from the field when Thompson gets hot it
Fuels his whole team and right now they are looking good and we’re about 3 minutes to the fourth now ginari inside he’s watched by kuminga the basket drops and he gets fouled on the shot one free throw coming his way time and time again the creating good looks from close range shooting for
Washington Danilo galinari one shot [Applause] that’s good from galinari the Warriors have gotten only two of six attempts to drop in the fourth back to Curry Wiggins outside [Applause] shoots from 12 and again it’s Golden State good at keeping the game simple when Curry sees the mid-range J open up
He rises up with confidence pool outside pass to Gafford now P six on the shot clock the three is up and that basket makes it five for 10 steady production so far after some misses in the first he’s making up for it Now Wiggins passes to kaminga to the paint Curry finds Looney back to Curry puts it up from [Applause] 12 the shot won’t fall and Washington the other way now galinari with and Looney picks him up [Applause] defensively Co against Thompson and that one’s good P P’s got five points now
This quarter and he’s coming off a huge performance in his confidence couldn’t be any higher and his coach knows that too when it ain’t broke leave it alone until someone stops him just let him roll now a timeout called by Golden State you know what time it is T-shirt time Make some noise
Let’s check in with our reporter Alli leforce during that break coach Steve Kerr had some advice for the team he likes what he’s seeing but he cautioned his players we are not far enough ahead to assume anything momentum can shift in a heartbeat we have to be diligent and
We have to be smart great work Ally thanks Wiggins outside fires the three galinari pulls it in galinari has got five rebounds in the game and he got a couple to fall from long distance in the first half but still looking for that number three Golden State foul
Stepen her ping a foul third team foul at the line for the Wizards Jordan P taking two shots [Applause] the first one [Applause] [Applause] Falls and both free throws good for P golden state has got nothing to fall from outside the arc here in the fourth 0 for four Curry passes to
Wiggins kaminga with it back to Wiggins over kissper and Wiggins gets it to go the assist by kuminga so polished from this painted area love watching Wiggins do his thing close to the basket here’s shamet nice D from Thompson and the Warriors shooting only 36% since the fourth quarter started oh
Wasted no time on that one Curry’s got five points now in the quarter that’s been typical of their performance today they’re sharing the ball and creating good shots got a piece of it in transition here come the Warriors oh and he got fouled on his way
Up he’ll head to the line to shoot two first personal foul you never want to foul Curry he’s pretty much the best free throw Stephen Curry taking two shots and he knocks down the first one think about the impact that Steph has had on this game him and his team have
Changed the way the game is played played they have ushered in the three-point error AIA he’s checked in for kissper and so Curry Nails both of [Applause] them and the Wizards with possession here it’s an 18-point Game Pass to Shaman here’s abdia left side galinari will it go
The shot that time not on target the Warriors have gotten five of 12 shot attempts to go so far in the fourth quarter Thompson outside the three ball the rebound by the Wizards he didn’t make them pay for that weak defense but they just can’t rely on him
To miss those kind of shots and the basket by sham whatever adjustments were made in half boy they are working he’s looking like a different player since the break it’s an even three Onre [Applause] break down low here’s p and it’s Washington with another shooting a great
Clip in the second half he made some nice adjustments in the locker room here’s Curry oh that bucket gives him his seventh field goal in 12 tries oh man he’s feeling it this quarter they should be looking to get him going every trip down the floor pass to Shaman Looney against
Gafford pool up top and he was fouled while in the act of shooting so he’ll take two free throws fourth personal it’s on Stephen Curry at the line for the Wizards Jordan P at the line for two [Applause] the first free throw is good he’s dowed up his aggression here in the second
Half consistent in working himself to the line Kyle kozma he’s checked in for Washington and he can hit the second golden state is is one of six from downtown in this final quarter they get it back another shot and a foul called on the way up so he’ll take two
From the free throw line personal foul man good whistle there at the line for the Warriors number two at the line for two two shots last on the first [Applause] the first one [Applause] Falls that’s also good so he hits both free throws he couldn’t get to the line
Once in the first half coach must have really talked to him at the break here’s P that one’s good he’s now eight for 13 he’s bringing a lot of energy to this offense not letting the scoreboard discourage him right now he’s going to keep putting up shots
Regardless of the score that’s the kind of player he is kma down low laid it in with a nice touch off the window nice ball movement there delivered the pass right on time pass to [Applause] Looney defended by [Applause] kozma and that basket makes him six for
11 shooting a good percentage and the defense has no one to blame but themselves I mean they just let him get right to the rim that’s a great possession and put your best players in a position to [Applause] succeed back to shamut six to shoot over Thompson and Washington again
With the bucket they’re having a good half offensively shooting over 50% from the field now trying to close the gap pass to kaminga to the middle Thompson shot is off Washington’s gone two of three from Beyond The Arc here in the fourth oh and there’s the whistle on the
Shot so two free throws for him coming up man he made sure to get his money’s worth on that foul shooting for Washington Jordan taking two shots first free throw is good so he picks up just one from the line that time they absolutely want to add to
What’s already a big lead no question ba no reason to let up just keep playing your [Applause] game and the wizard shooting at about 51% for the game so far on this one p against Curry cool shot is off the Warriors shooting around 53% a nice number ginari against
Looney outside Curry it’s stolen by P he’s off on the layup and they’ve been careless with the ball tonight yeah it’s a lack of focus and a lack of discipline they’re better than this minutes and here’s Thompson for three Washington with a rebound jamt got five rebounds in the game pool
Outside he can’t get that one to fall so Golden State will take it the other way 22 was their biggest lead to the inside this man sees everything on the court Curry just dropping dimes out there pass to Shaman back to p 124 left to play in the fourth quarter
Kuzman and he got the whistle on the way up so he’ll be headed to the line for a pair and so he’s picked up his final foul and he’ll sit the rest of this one out and the Warriors making a switch here Paul’s checked in and the rise of
The internet has helped give players their own voice but now with podcast and other streams Grant they’re also able to monetize their voice yeah players understand the value of their voice and also how to monetize that speaking directly to their fans to their customers using these different platforms you know I think broadcasters
Need I think you and I need to have a podcast ba for sure I know we can’t afford you there that might be true that one misses you hope that leaving points at the line won’t come back to haunt them and they were really able to find the mismatches they wanted
And exploit those all night great execution from the players and coaching staff for the Warriors all their efforts on the boards ended up paying off and just two tough rebounding teams but they gave the extra effort and were rewarded for it and tonight’s win will give them
An even 40 on the year and this team really wanted to at least split this season series and while there were some guys out there that played well what really stood out was the production for Klay Thompson he really managed to shine on both ends of the floor finding lots
Of opportunities to affect the game and make an impact clock at six here’s Paul the rebound by the Wizards about 7 Seconds separating the shot and game clocks it’s p on the wing kuzma outside and again Washington with a triple unfortunately for them they’re still going to come up short you wish
They shown this kind of fight earlier too little too late that final score will look way closer than how this game actually played out outside Paul and so it’s the Warriors taking care of business in this one this one was a fun one to watch they were clearly
In the driver’s seat down the stretch they really were ba they played with great intensity on both ends of the floor and they didn’t allow their mistakes to get the and now Greg that we’re into the meat of the season are you seeing any emerging Trends out there for a few
Years the trend had been guys shooting from farther and farther out but Kevin I think we’re seeing a return of the big man a more concerted effort to attack the interior and now Washington starting group Kyle kma is out there ginari then there’s Jordan P then there’s Daniel
Gaffer and it’s shamut in a two gone pass to Curry and the whistle blows it’s going to be on Kyle kozma first person foul that’s his first foul foul and that’s a quick foul for him there looks like the refs are going to call this one pretty [Applause] close kaminga finds
Thompson to the wing on the left no good on the [Applause] three now here’s P he’s covered closely Gafford inside defended by Looney and it’s Thompson with the ball he’ll bring it up for Golden State and the call on the shot that sends him to the line first personal his
Contemporaries will say this Clay Thompson shooting stroke is as pure as it get first trip to the free throw line for him in this one Thompson two shots the first free throw is good and over the last couple Seasons it feels like the Washington Wizards roster is in
Constant flux I mean from role players to All Stars guys coming in and out that one Falls so he hits both of them for Washington how difficult Greg is it to win when your roster changes as you were just talking about it changes so much from year to year it’s really tough
I mean take Spencer Den with he you know he signs a big three-year deal traded 6 months later so when things like that happen it’s so difficult to create chemistry and P gets it to go pick works well there not much resistance from the deep it takes incredible effort to stay
Connected to the hip of the offensive player you’ve got to want to work this guy can do so much for you on the offensive end and that is why his number gets called time and time again there’s the pass to Gafford over Looney the shots good from Gafford
Assist goes to Landry sh curry with it last game 26 points we’re just about two minutes into the first quarter kaminga with a wide openen look good on the triple and that’s exactly what he’s looking for draining the triple pass to [Applause] shamut and a lot of contact on that one so
He’ll shoot two here no question he got bumped on that shot first team foul he’s getting his first free throw attempt of the night right now an 85% shooter there and they’ve been able to count on him hitting his shots from the line [Applause] and the first one [Applause] [Applause]
Drops and that’s good as he hits both of his shots the way he’s shooting free throws tonight you simply don’t want to put him there now let’s go to David Aldridge we had a chance to talk with head coach Steven SS Hey Kevin yes when I asked him about his game plan
Defensively he said they were trying to shut off the lane and prevent easy baskets he knows that that may leave open Shooters out on the perimeter but he’s willing to take that risk we’ll see if the opponent can make those shots Evin thanks so much David here’s curry with the three
Nailed from three-point L well Stephen Curry in the catch and shoot game is as efficient as anywhere on the floor pass [Applause] theol here’s Shaman taking a look at his stats he’s averaging around n and A2 points a game and I’m not sure that is a
Shot that he should be taking well it’s hard to imagine that the play was designed to go in that direction boy I’d be surprised if we see that again no one un cover it Curry’s got a couple of Threes now in the first of the Warriors perhaps the greatest shooter ever and in
Fact in my estimation the greatest three-point shooter in History Stephen Curry here’s P that’s his second shot and his second basket he’s two for two good way to start this game you want to get him rolling as early as possible he’s a guy who if he gets hot he can
Carry your offense for long stretches Washington with the rebound last time they met was in Washington and they did win that last game in this matchup and it seemed they got the benefit of the whistle now here’s P he has five here’s Gafford and he could not get
That one to go lot of contact and he’ll go to the line for twoam foul and a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for the Warriors we’ve got a bunch of this game yet to be played but they’re shooting it well from the three-point line that’s
Got to be a welcome sight yeah and what an excellent display of passing in the early stages of this game a good deal of their points coming directly off quality [Applause] passes and the first one at the line is good and and the Warriors making a change [Applause] here good on
Both the Warriors leading outside Curry Golden State moving it around six to shoot Thompson for three another three for Golden State now this is his com Zone Blake Thompson Beyond The Arc such an easy look right there timeout here the first for the Wizards feated by the Pacers in their last game they’ll try to
Put that one behind them and coming into that one looking to be competitive but the disparity and talent just too great you have the sense that they expected that result once they dug themselves into a hole I thought they let go of the Rope already it’s February let’s see how
The East is matching up take a look at the Wizards it hasn’t been a great season for them we may see some changes in the off season and well for Washington they talked all off season about how this year was going to be different nobody bought into it then and
Nobody’s buying into it now all talk no walk simple as that they just don’t match up with the better teams in the NBA now here’s P he’s coming off a 25-point game against Indiana that’s a surprise I mean really out of character for him to miss when the defense is not
Right up on him Guarded by kozma Thompson for three the three-pointer is Right On Target Thompson’s got 10 points in the game 12 straight points off of three-pointers and the d looks shill Wizards Trail by eight kuzma outside pass to shamut from the ark that one in his first bucket of the game he’s
One for twoin well you can see it’s a matter of Pride out there for these guys absolutely when someone makes a shot the first thought is I want my own back now here’s Curry he’s got six here’s the lob to the hoop and kaminga throws it down about Curry’s
Ability to find an open teammate and put the ball exactly where it needs to be such a pretty pass P kicks to kozma back to p down low and ginary throws it down strong move to the 10 trying to get his guys going hard not to get motivated G
Right when your teammate makes that kind of play where was the defense no help you can’t afford to give up these kinds of buckets clearly a foul first personal foul the Warriors have been perfect at the line so far I’ll be it just two for and they’ve shot
The ball well this season in terms of their attempts 81% that one is off good on the second free throw now here’s P he’s got five and the pass to shamut kuzma outside pass to shamut shot clock at six over Thompson and it’s shamut missing Warriors leading by six kaminga the pass to
Cur guarded by kah and the foul on Daniel Gaff that’s his first foul Jones checked in for Landry shamet checking in for the Wizards tus Jones Thompson against P six to shoot jacks up a three trains it from Beyond The Ark Thompson’s cut Klay Thompson can be one of the most lethal scores in the league it happens quick with this guy time called here Wizards decide to talk it over and sometimes from the outside not always
Clear what led a coach to call for a timeout and do you know it’s what comes after that gives you some sense of what has changed and Washington making a change here and with the pause in the action let’s look at the numbers for Kyle kman he’s averaging 20 points seven rebounds
And three assists he’s been nothing short of fantastic during that stretch offense come in very easily for him and so much of it to me is his ability to read the floor make the right decision and then go right after the action he [Applause] wants back to Thompson and he banks in the
Layup 15 points in the game defensively giving up far too many open Rhythm looks passes it to Gaffrey gper with it three-pointer drills it from outside gper what a beautiful stroke from range defensively you’ve got to try to take him out of his comfort zone Doris I’ve
Heard many times Cory kissper talk about how glad he was to stay at gona for his senior year keev his perspective was so great what he said was he treated That season as a quote Runway to the NBA and that’s what it proved to be he improved
In almost every phase of the game and went from a likely second round pick to top 15 that is tremendous kissper again the Wizards good for two you can’t just stop when there’s a pick set up got to fight over it as a Defender you know exactly what that takes it takes energy
It takes activity it takes intensity now here’s Curry he’s got six pass to kaminga locket six to the middle takes the assist and lays it in picked out the pass nicely and the Warriors lead by 11 over to the [Applause] wing here’s kozma the shot that time not on Target
And Golden State will come the other way they couldn’t put the pieces together losing the last match up with the Lakers really a disappointing effort that that game could have it should have been closer than it was listen I don’t fault the effort that was there all night it
Was the quality of play that was lacking there was not a ton of cohesion they’ve got to figure it out here’s kissers following the B B by Jonathan kaminga he gets that one yeah and there it is again on a lot of their possessions this first half they’ve established great inside
Position Curry passes to [Applause] kaminga covered by gaffer Curry on the wing and there are the Warriors now with another bucket that’s their third straight make off an assist [Applause] now the pass to kissper a three-pointer Off the Mark and on an open look like that he’s very
Gifted at making the weak coverage Pay Here’s Thompson kma pulls it in Wizards trailed by [Applause] 13 it’s Jones on the way to the paint off to a good start as he hits his first shot attempt great job of screening there nice job to take it to the rim and get the
Finish Thompson outside for three rebound by the Wizards and this quarter he has clearly been off the mark kper no good Warriors leading by 11 58 seconds left to play in the first Quarter and that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the foul first personal foul even from over here you could see that one pretty clearly the Warriors have gone three of four at the free throw line tonight taking two shots the first one [Applause]
Falls that’s also good so he hits both free throws there’s 47 seconds left to play in the first quarter Curry against [Applause] Jones Pass to KBR takes the three offensive rebound the shots good from kma K and already they’ve sted out a noticeable advantage in terms of aggression and controlling the back
Fi Jones against Curry kaminga the pass to Thompson and that one off the back of the rim and in 20 points for Klay Thompson yeah we’re seeing some fireworks from them already well what I love is the game plan has been solid from the opening tip and guys are making
Their shots that’s critical yeah coaches pet peeve there no box out and to me this is a common theme that’s running through the league right now guys looking to leak out rather than box out Ray Thompson has been leading the charge for the Warriors he went on an aerial
Three Nation time to make some noise out 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 Warriors this has been the game they wanted to have just stretching out the floor in that first they had the defense
Scrambling and that was obviously the plan coming in now the big question can they maintain that efficiency from range as a game goes along and sometimes in the closing moments NBA games can slow to a crawl of course you and I know that firstand intentional foul replay
Review what should the leag Revis in terms of the most important thing they did is take some of the replay reviews and allow caucus to deal with it that speeds up action the fact of the matter is fouls and free throws at the end of
The game are part of strategy and yes we need to be quick with replay reviews but we have to understand this is strategic and important stuff that happens so this is how the floor looks for the Wizards starting the second tus Jones up there with Jordan P then there’s Kyle kozma
Then there’s Daniel Gaff that one’s in there the warrior lead is cut down now to just 11 on the basket from Jones Thompson outside Curry passes to kaminga Thompson for the Triple doesn’t go that time and it’s Washington the other way they get to take on the
Blazers at Portland after this one that game will be game two of three straight on the road yeah way to get there first and be willing to absorb the contact the Warriors making a switch here Paul’s checked in just over a minute gone here in the second quarter
Passes it to Looney some nice passing by Golden Stadium here’s Thompson sinks the 15-footer Thompson’s got 22 points always ready to rise and fire from anywhere Thompson’s mid-range jumper is pure back to [Applause] Jones 11 ft away and it’s Looney with the rebound Warriors leading by 13 inside here’s kaminga he makes
Another one that’s four up and four in to start his game on and with the lead I like the strategy here continue to get the ball to guys who can do something with it one thing we’ve learned in the NBA the game is never over so you’ve got
To continue to score continue to build your lead Golden State’s gone one or two on three-pointers here in the second quarter so far got that one up quick seven points in the game night after night game after Game Chris Paul understands where to put the ball and when nicely Done pass to gaffer now here’s P to stop the run that shot Off the Mark good d by Thompson Paul finds kaminga good and Paul gets the assist Dominguez got four points this quarter assists like that have typified their effort today terrific ball mov the pass to kma launches it Washington gets it back in a new 14
On the basket by Jones well just it’s easy to say this guy wanted it more creating the second chance opportunity and cashing in Thompson outside and the wideopen shot from Paul and the Warriors take on two more well Chris Paul is in Elite shooter the efficiency is there especially in the catch and
Shoot game and the call is going to be yes yes it is an illegal screen to a certain extent you like the aggressiv but that’s two fouls already take a step back Wiggins is checked in for the Warriors alinari He’s checked in for Washington Warriors leading by 20 Higgins
Outside pass to Thompson Paul outside now Looney he kicks it to Wiggins passes to Thompson this one for three Warriors the rebound and kaminga against it to go Kingz got 14 well the advantage they have right now is largely based on his play what an outstanding night time called here the Wizards
Decide to talk it over Klay Thompson with a strong contribution so far in this one yeah I think they’ve got to be talking about just guarding him a little more tightly on the perimeter or keep the ball out of his hands as much as possible period that’s about the only
Way you’re going to cool this guy off and checking out some numbers for Jones how his last 10 games have gone averaging 15 points a game four assists and two rebounds he’s been nothing short of fantastic during that stretch offense come in very easily for him and so much
Of it to me is his ability to read the floor make the right decision and then go right after the action he wants and Chris Paul picks up the foul foul that is his first foul of the game [Applause] foul here’s Jones he had a 15-point outing in
Their last game against Indiana boy and defensively he had them off balance he was able to come away with four steals that’s just phenomenal defense the defense feels like it’s all over the place and knows exactly how to guard it first the Warriors have shot five of six
At the foul line Tonight line for the dubs Chris Paul at the line for two [Applause] free throw good Paul boy the consistent greatness of Chris Paul playmaker scorer Defender leader year after year Chris Paul silences any doubt about his place in this game and good on the second so he makes him
Both and it’s Jones with the ball for Washington kuzma outside pass to Gard wide open Andrew Wiggins grabs the board listen if you’re that wide open you have to take the shot even if it’s not your favorite tries again no good and Washington the other way now kma outside the pass to
Jones Pass to kma six on the shot clock it’s rebounded by Golden State Thompson with the bucket Johnson’s got four points in the quarter and there’s a pattern starting to take shape here they’re working it inside and getting good shots from close range Wiggins against kman and Thompson
Sends it back Blake Thompson is Elite on the defensive end he’s got length smarts quickness you name it and kaminga gets it to go pretty much all of their buckets coming from inside the paint now Jones the pass to C Wiggins against kma and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two
At the free throw line third personal foul kma has the size and the length to challenge Defenders on the interior nice job drawing the whistle there the Wizards shooting their fifth and sixth free throws of the game two [Applause] two and he makes the first I think we’ve
Certainly seen Kyle kosma grow in his maturity and understanding about the game it’s not always about the scoring it’s what contributes to winning and he has really grown in that aspect and Washington making a change here shamut checked in and both free throws good for kozma golden states gone two of four
From three-point range so far in the second quarter bins outside kicks to Thompson Shan it with the steel kozma left side and they cash in right away with the quick shot eight points for Kyle kma that’s about pre-shot preparation the anticipation of the pass kozma easy work Thompson with
The bucket they should continue to get the ball inside the defense struggling to contain them Washington has gone four of eight tonight from three-point L shooting 50% on the three ball here P the pass TMA and two free throws coming up unable to get that one to go with all the
Contact it’s going to be on Andrew Wiggins you have to be aware of your Defender where Kyle kma is this guy is a scorer by Nature on the night he’s gone two for two at the stripe numbers this year at the line below 70 so when he’s
Getting to the line not nearly as effective as you’d like free throw good kma they’ve hit every one of their free throws here in the second quarter very important when you’re [Applause] trailing so he gets him both he does a great job of drawing contact and getting
Himself to the line something he didn’t do in the first period Thompson outside Back to Paul and there’s the foul it’ll go on Jordan F that is his first foul of the game and really these are some of the toughest calls an official has to make and that rejection had some mustard on it huge huge play and big defensive
Plays like that will help them stay in control of this [Applause] one here’s Paul the shot will not fall and Washington the other way [Applause] now and here is [Applause] shamet now P he’s got five and that one’s good sham sh Shaman’s got seven points in the game and they’ve
Repeatedly probed inside in the first half guys and and it’s paid off now here’s Thompson he’s covered by Shaman here’s Looney and the rejection by Gafford just five on the clock another shot and it’s good for two Paul’s got his second bucket tonight Chris Paul not only has a great handle
But man his footwork is so good they get a hand on it Paul with the steel kaminga dishes the ball some nice passing by Golden Stadium Wiggins passes to kaminga it’s good for his eighth consecutive Basket in only eight tries you want to talk about a perfect
Performance he hasn’t missed a shot all night incredible back to pool alinari right side [Applause] passes it to Gafford that’s basket number two with his third shot off to a fast two for three Danilo galinari very content to find his teammates pass to Wiggins Paul outside and the pass to
Kaminga from Deep three-point range rebounded by Gafford gafford’s got four rebounds now tonight P the pass [Applause] TMA makes it off the glass 12 points for him you can see the Kyle kozma has the kind of size and length and creativity to score on the interior Wiggins passes to Paul
He kicks it to Thompson Pass to Wiggins four on the clock puts one up from 19 ginari with the rebound very dangerous to leave a guy like that open lucky break there for the deep and Gard throws it down that’s how you share The Rock he does this time and time again Thompson
Outside shoots over sh and Thompson gets it to go in on the assist by Paul Paul’s got four assists in the game p kicks to shanet back to [Applause] pool alinari left side second shot opportunity back to P that’s tipped Paul with the [Applause] steel kaminga with it alinari on him the
Offensive rebound and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here second that one on galinari third team foul the Warriors have been good at the free throw line this one seven of eight looney two shots and he knocks down the first one no wasted trips at all they’re taking care
Of business at the [Applause] line and zoney nails both of them Washington’s gone one to three from way outside since the start of the second quarter passes it to P from downtown hands it from downtown P’s got his third basket of the night right there well the defense deserves to get burned
Absolutely no excuse for leaving him open they get it again kaminga and the re ction by Gafford the shots goodone Looney’s got four this quarter and without looking at the scoreboard you think they were the team trailing and trying to fight their way [Applause] back shamut with it seven points in the game five to shoot here’s Gafford and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line fourth personal foul wow wow wow he got whacked on that one shouldn’t be much to bait there and this is his
Second trip to the line in the game numbers this year at the line below 70 so when he’s getting to the line not nearly as effective as you’d like first free throw is Good so one for two that time at the strike Warriors leading by 22 outside Curry now here’s Moody he’s covered by shamut Moody’s shot is off Washington has gone five of nine when they put up the three-point shot tonight pass theol and a good offensive board and he gets
The bucket PS got five points now in the quarter the rebound and the follow show you what he is all about gritty and determined with the soft touch to match and so it’s the Golden State Warriors controlling the game and finishing the quarter thanks so much David and we’ll
Step away briefly but get you right back out here for the start of the third quarter after this break it’s the 2K sports halime show hello again folks Ernie Johnson here with Kenny The Jet Smith and Shaquille O’Neal it’s the NBA on 2K sports and let’s talk the first
Half play toson brought his aame early tonight he ended up with 28 points three assists and four rebounds taking a look at the Warriors Kenny what you think watching that half they did a great job in transition it’s so hard to score in a half court when you let the defense set
Up so anytime you get a chance go you go kind of reminds me of me in the day that’s why they call me the jet Shaq get down the court fast as you can come on man and over to Shaq your take on the Wizards they’ve been struggling to get
Shots in general but down low they’ve been PID off PID to say it giving up way too many easy looks if they can’t protect the r more effectively in the second half it’s going to be a long ride home that’s all for now say goodbye to the folks thanks for joining us third
Quarter just about ready to Begin Nation time to make some there wasn’t too much drama in the first half but maybe things will tighten up here in the second Clay Thompson has been Sensational man he’s been running wild on him through that first half absolute Dynamite on offense boy he has been shouldering the load aggressive skilled
Talented and thus far Unstoppable and after a very lopsided first half we’ll see if things play out a little more evenly here in the second so with Paul on the bench here’s the group that Steve cerr has on the floor guard pair on the floor it’s Curry and
Thompson Kavon Looney out there with kaminga come shoots from 12 that’s in coming off the assist from Thompson Thompson’s got four assists in the game Clay Thompson understanding how to read the floor and make the right choice yes he can score it but good Vision there kaer trying to
Break freear a nice shot by ginari you have to have the vision to find the open man beautiful pass Thompson outside [Applause] rebounded by Gafford gafford’s got his fifth rebound right now in the game allari passes to P kuzma outside there’s the pass to shamut and the rebound goes to the Warriors kaminga has got six rebounds here tonight with the shot hits the jumper in Space Nine points in the game
So far right around a minute and a half played here in the third quarter pass to shamut kma with it two free throws coming up and they call the shooting fou first personal foul first team foul the Wizards have gone nine of 10 from the so making the most of their
Chances and they’ve done some really nice work at the foul line knocking down [Applause] 80% free throw good kma and both free throws good for kozma warriors leading by 20 Thompson outside pass to CK that’s in coming off the assist from Thompson Thompson’s got five assists in
The Game Boy everyone is getting to their spots and then capitalizing three for four in the quarter beautiful shamut the pass to gaffer kma right side six to shoot coou he’s now made half of those 10 shots in the game that’s his fifth basket you can’t just stop when there’s a pick set
Up got to fight over it as a Defender you know exactly what that takes it takes energy it takes activity it takes intensity let’s go and the Warriors t on two more boy excellent start to the second half they’ve missed just once in five attempts pass to shamut back to pool alinari
Outside second half of play and we’re three minutes into the third here no good on that one solid rebound there and with the score like it is that’s an area where they can’t afford to get lazy only their first turnover of the game taking terrific care of the basketball and the
Replay demonstrating once again how aggressive that defense was and guys that is lock down defense at its finest going right at the shot and then able to knock it away P against Curry to the inside here’s kma and the rebound goes to the Warriors that’ll be the first half of a two- game
Trip shoots over pool Curry shot is off Wizards have gone two of five shooting here in the third quarter third quarter of basketball here in just a little under three and a half minutes gone by P on the wing guarded by Kur ginari inside the three-point line and there it
Is for him ginar has got four points now in the quarter well some contact there on the shot but Danilo galinari much improved upper body strength maintains his Focus nicely done And there’s the pass to Curry the three-pointer no good wizards trailed by 21 here’s p and he makes no mistake on the slam dunk it’d be nice if everybody took as much pride in his rebounding as he does you know what I great he loves that part
Of the game and it shows well but as Defenders keep forgetting to box him out he continues to just make them pay and Thompson kicks to Curry just four to shoot from Deep cinga no good the Wizards have gone an even 50% from the floor here in the third quarter four of
Eight back to shamut up top kozma he’s got 14 and The Wiz wiards hit again from Deep his offense really opens up when Kyle kozma is making that three-point shot back to [Applause] Curry guarded by kozma pulls up high post he squares up and sinks it he’s got 13 and Nice Shot
Taking what the Defenders gave him these guys need a gut check right now well simply stated simply not enough effort not enough attention to detail they’ve gotten run over this evening good on the three-point shot yeah that’s two bombs in a row from long range outside
Curry pass to Thompson it’s up a three and a great assist by Curry as that one goes in Curry’s got three assist tonight passes it to shamut here’s kinari that one doesn’t go and Golden State will go the other way with [Applause] it and the rejection by [Applause] Gafford kozma outside ginari surveying the D pass to Gafford over Looney Gafford misses you know the right thing there to try to fade away with the D all over him but that is a difficult shot to sink guarded by kozma out to Thompson for the
Three kma pulls it in kma’s got rebound number five here tonight shamut up top he’s covered by Thompson and there’s a whistle that goes on Landry shamut that’ll be his second foul of the game and the Warriors with some changes Char has checked in for cavon Looney Wiggins comes in for
Jonathan kaminga and it’s Paul in for Thompson and a new group getting ready to come in for Washington abaz checked in for ginar gper comes in for Kyle kman right is checked in for Landry shamut and tyus Jones subbed in for Jordan time here the Wizards decide to talk it over
The leadership of the NBA Players Association Greg has said they support expansion and two cities which seem to be the leading candidates Seattle and Las Vegas what do you think well I I love both had the Good Fortune of playing in both cities and I’d love to
See a team in my hometown but bottom line more teams means more jobs and that’s the sentiment I think most can get behind r check in for curry Paul with the ball Jones covering and the Slam by Moody and how sweet a play was that as sweet as it gets an Exquisite
Pass to set up the powerful Al dunk in the corner right with it and he gets the whistle for the 3 second call he got a little ahead of himself there trying to pull the team even that’s a big miscue and you hate to see that happen at this point in the [Applause]
Game back to Paul knocked away Higgins [Applause] outside kicks it to Paul lets the fre five ABA with the rebound Wizards have gotten six of their 12 shots to drop for him here in the second half so far [Applause] he dishes it to [Applause] Jones now here’s havia guarded
Closer Wizards need to get a shot off here right for three no good that time so Golden State will take it the other way Char passes to Wiggins bucket is good the ball movement on this run has been fantastic and is a big part of why able to get
These good looks and a chance to catch up on some numbers here the scoring breakdown for the Warriors and they’re playing beautiful basketball right now racking up the assists by playing so unselfishly just finding the open man they’ve also been scoring on the break with how difficult it is to get Buckets
In the half court anytime you can push the ball in transition for easy ones that’s big time and it’s Jones with the ball for Washington the pass to kissers [Applause] over Wiggins and another Miss by Washington no matter what looks they get they just can’t convert to stop this run
And I think you can start to feel their frustration mounting with every missed bucket it becomes more and more [Applause] desperate now here’s kissper he’s got five here’s Gafford and the basket is good and he’s got a chance here for one more at the line he’s enjoyed the kind of day you
Expect in terms of shooting the basketball he can bring them right back into this game three trips to the line so far for him in this one at the line for one [Applause] and that one Falls for [Applause] Gafford and it’s the Warriors ball they’re on a 14-6
Run pass to Wiggins shks right side and there’s the feet to Paul and the rejection by Gafford Paul can’t get it to go no other way to put it just a poor shooting performance for him but luckily his teammates have picked up the slack kissper the pass to gaffer Pok
Loose now here’s Moody guarded by Wright and it’s Wiggins missing Washington is gotten off 12 shots from Beyond The Arc tonight hitting seven of them off on the layup and he thought he had a clear path to the hoop but the defense didn’t give up on that play and cut him off here’s
Paul rebound by the Wizards Jones has got four rebounds in this game well I tell you what he’s going to buy himself a ticket to the bench if he keeps shooting it like that he has been putrid here this quarter the Warriors sh the ball really well in this game 58% Wiggins dishes to shortage over Jones and another shot and the layup by sharks sh has got his first points of the game and not hard to see why they are giving up points on this run just too many good looks from in [Applause] close here’s
Paul and it’s out of bounds last Touch by Jones it remains Golden State basketball checking in for the Wizards number zero 105 left in the third quarter of the [Applause] game and so it looks like the Warriors will retain possession here Golden State basketball here’s Wiggins the scoring numbers have
Been solid for him he’s averaging just under 14 points a game Washington’s gone two of three when they ventured outside the Ark in the third Quarter now here’s kissper not a lot of room he’s swipes the ball away again and that’s his sixth steal of the night imposing his will at the defensive end boy it’s incredible how many times Chris Paul has led the league in steals this guy has active hands outside Jones and taken away by
Paul and here we go Wiggins heading to the hoop and it’s Wiggins with the jam those long strides Andrew Wiggins so dangerous in transition 17 seconds left to play in the [Applause] third call against Jones the floater and the shot Goes Down Jones Jones has got nine
Points and here is Paul over Jones what a play simply trains it in at the p and now they are firing on all cylinders that shot puts three more onto their lead as we head to the and in a moment now as we take a look at
Our State Farm assists of the game yeah an easy choice tonight look at the Precision on this pass put it on a platter form and when you’re the beneficiary of a pass that good you better deliver and he did just that 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 taking a look at the Wizards they’ve got gper AIA out there with Mike then it’s danan Wright how good is that I mean he can make a Defender look foolish at times passes it to
Moody in recent years course we’ve really seen the Players Association stepping up and address player needs and at the same time global social issues Kevin it’s been absolutely inspiring to see the players use the tools they have at their advantage and their disposal they want to create needed change represent themselves their communities
Their organizations leadership at its absolute finest Warriors shooting it very well tonight around 57% and it’s wigin is missing well this has not been his finest hour but give your teammates some credit for doing the job of stepping in just over a minute played here in the
Fourth pass to kissper shot clock at six offline with his three and the well is running dry for him right now nothing for and this is where you hope that he can find something easy so he can see the ball go through the net a little over a minute and a half of
The fourth quarter gone now and he could not get that one to go lot of contact and he’ll go to the line for two personal foul first team foul shooting for Washington Cory kispert taking two shots [Applause] [Applause] that free throw no good for a while the
East was all Lebron and the West well Doris as we know the West Was dominated by Golden State but now now does the league do you feel more wide open well certainly when you look at last season I thought there were four teams in the East that absolutely had a shot to make
The finals contingent on health obviously Milwaukee without Chris Middleton struggled to get over the Finish Line in the west you had three teams who I thought legitimately could advance so certainly the gap between playoff teams feels smaller Moody Washington with the [Applause] rebound here’s right softly drops in the floating wri’s got
His first bucket of the night just a smart shot by Delan right get to your floater game get it before the defense can react tipped away all by [Applause] himself plays it in off the Breakaway and this is what you want on both ends to win the Battle of effort and that’s
Exactly what you can control right your desire your hustle your will to succeed timeout called The Warriors Get Loud if you want [Applause] one and it’s Joseph with the ball he’ll bring it up for the Warriors now the pass to Moody Joseph looking over the floor he clangs that one off the back iron and got it VA after being held storeless in the first he’s turning it on here in the second pass to
Gibson and so much great talent coming into the league Greg every year that 2021 draft class in particular looks very strong absolutely anytime you got just a couple potential stars but from the looks of it upwards of five you know it’s been a special draft here’s AIA offt Target from three-point range
Golden State’s cten off to an 0 for two start from downtown here in the fourth quarter and he’ll shoot free throws here clearly fouled on that shot that time the whistle blowing some contact inside Wiggins playing big go to the charity stri Andrew Wiggins taking two shots two shot
First one Falls for well getting to the line at will nowadays Wiggins wanting to improve his free throw percentage and he can’t hit the second dors when it comes to Avia a guy that does a number of things very well he does Kevin I think when you think of AIA
What you think is three tool player score rebound pass it for Denny to me it’s all about being more consistent it is clear this guy has a ton of talent and potential now can you do it night after night after night at the line for two [Applause]
And he knocks down the first one and in this era of player movement Greg we’re seeing guys often pick teams on fit or style of play when they look at that what are they looking into you want to have fun coming to work every day Day Kevin I mean the money they’re making
Most guys are going to be set for life but I think they recognize it’s about the journey in who you have the opportunity to take that Journey with and so he makes both from the line the Warriors have gone three of six in the field so far in the fourth
Quarter got a piece of it and stolen by Wright the three ball it’s rebounded by Golden State down low and there’s a nice one-handed slam yeah they’re rolling right now that lead continues to grow and one of the things that’s helped that is they’re getting it done on both ends terrific
Focus on offense and they’re locked in defensively kissper the pass to Gibson doesn’t get it to drop for him some solid defense from shich it’s a plus five at Advantage for them in rebounding after that one Wiggins no good on that one and Washington the other way now and right kicks to
AIA back to righ five on the clock Gibson in the post Joseph onam shots good by Gibson Gibson well Taj Gibson has built his NBA game on his ability to rebound the basketball consistently what a great nose for it he has pass to Moody integrate the NBA is becoming a
Global product as more games are scheduled overseas D any locations you’d like to go to call a game maybe you and I could do a game in the Bahamas how does head sound I love it Kevin if they’re chipping it up I’d love to be there and
Think about it beyond the travel and the opportunity to see the world the opportunity to expose new fans to this game that we love so much certainly not something to take lightly pass to Joseph a three-pointer Wiggins again Wiggins missing and it’s right with the ball for Washington
Hisper no good this guy just can’t find his rhythm and you look up at the scoreboard they absolutely need his productivity the pass to Moody from past the ark and the Warriors Miss again and you could tell he thought that triple was going to fall pass to
KBR to the middle passes it to ABIA and stolen by Wiggins looking to end his cold spell that shot off Washington’s gone 7even to 15 from three-point range tonight they’re not afraid of that shot here’s muswa a great one-w punch beautiful pass and nasty Jam dlon Wright proving that he is an
Excellent decision maker on the offensive end teammate open let me find him here’s [Applause] Moody we know the NBA is exploring alternate broadcasts for selected games allowing users to pick their commentators Doris should you and I be nervous Kevin I’m always nervous and you
Will always be the 18 come on my man the fans know they need to listen to Kevin Harley you are Doris way too kind coming from you a Hall of Famer you kidding me I’ll work with you any day and I’ll do the analyst and you can do the playby
Play is that Kevin Love It for the finish and the dump P kissper that’s a double whammy guys that’s right a great defensive play then the emphatic stump let’s see if that serves as a momentum Builder what a great sequence for this group wiggin survey the
Floor a nice shot by Moody well really nice delivery from Andrew Wiggins we know he’s a gifted scorer but that will really smooth out his game pass to abdia right outside stolen by [Applause] Joseph yep that one goes Joseph’s got his first two points of the night well
They’ve won the Battle of transition buckets and those easy points have helped them build this lead well well this is their Pace this is exactly how they want to play a little fast a little loose here’s right trying to get open as Gibson and that one’s good right wri’s
Got six points in the quarter and defensively they are on their heels every time the ball comes inside now Wiggins he’s covered by musawa lock at six and there’s the pass to Moody and another three for Golden State three-pointers are killing them at this point and they haven’t been able to respond at the other end pass to mcalla last year as we know the NBA Doris named the members of the 75th
Anniversary team any players that were missed that you think should have been on that list I mean the one guy that comes to mind immediately is Klay Thompson who will go down as one of the great Shooters in NBA history the problem for voters I think is the challenge of weighing the
Accomplishments of Prior generations with what we are witnessing today it is a challenging vote there’s no doubt Klay will be top 100 when he comes in 25 [Applause] years Washington’s gone ice cold from three-point land 04 since the start of the final quarter top of the key
AIA whistle blows bucket is good and he’ll have a chance at the line to make it a three-point play personal foul what a pretty pass from dlan Wright this guy can play one or two but that passing ability is important at either position the mayor is jacked in for the Wizards
Smart anchor at 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 2 minutes remaining Minutes they grabb their own miss shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws foul boy it really helps when Dario charage is aggressive like this the guy makes the defender commit and nicely done offensively at the line for two two [Applause] and the first one drops well Greg we’re
Seeing high schoolers now making six figures to play basketball I bet you wouldn’t have minded that in your time would you I tell you what it beats delivering the newspaper right it’s still fresh and developing but a lot of different opportunities are emerging shich nails and both what we
Know about Dario shich is that he entered the league as a high IQ player fundamentally sound and his skill set as a stretch four is absolutely in high demand in the league fires it up buries the jump shot ABV got seven points for the quarter 137 left in the fourth quarter outside Robinson
Down low it’s stolen by muscala and so it’s going to end up in the record books as a blowout a dominating performance for the Warriors this was a team performing to its fullest capability uh a hugely satisfying win a game that not many will soon forget and on the other
Side one that I I think most will try to forget and for the year now they’ll ramp up their win total an even 40 no doubt they came in very motivated to win this one and finish the season series at a game of piece and we watched one guy all
Night long guys and looking at the stats just confirms what a dominant game he had what a night tonight it was for Klay Thompson efficient productivity you love what this guy has given to you on the offensive end now here’s Joseph and again no good by Golden State here’s Washington [Applause]
Now 17 seconds left in the fourth the mayor Some solid defense from [Applause] shich Joseph up top so we see the Warriors taking the game here and the outcome of this one was never end doubt and boy they really put in a supreme effort it just felt like
Once they had that lead and it was comfortable they were not going to Relinquish and Washington has possession 17-point game Curry and Thompson pair up at the one and the two kaminga is out there with cavon Looney so that’s the group out there for Golden State and their physical dominance has been on display a 10 rebound Advantage is a good indicator
Of how this game is gone and he’s able to get it back and again it’s the Warriors missing since halftime they’ve missed three of their first four shots still trying to get their legs under them kma the pass to P here’s shamut knocks down the triple
Sham shamut got nine points when you can score the ball and the defense makes adjustments your way to do that cool has to take advantage like that Thompson against kinari it’s not going to go for him team starts the second half missing four of five shots when does the coach possibly call a
Timeout and reiterate what he talked about at halftime to the paint oh deflected stolen by Thompson stolen by Gafford and he makes it oh what tremendous Focus to absorb the contact and find a way there to finish well during the 2021 playoffs Daniel Gafford was such a bright spot
Well Gafford made a statement in the first round against the Sixers and Joel embiid going 22 of 26 from the field Gafford said an NBA percentage record that’s 85% ba that’s hot that free throw good from Gafford yeah you know after a couple down years with key players injured it’s safe to
Say the gold State Warriors are back back to Curry pass to kaminga it’s a very good looking converts he’s got 15 defensively you can’t afford to get stuck on the pick that’s one that the coaches will watch tomorrow with that player you hate to see him give up in that situation now
Here’s kozma he’s got 15 20 ft out here’s Gafford and count the basket he was fouled and he’s going to the line for one more the Warriors are back to contending for championships yes they are a testament to their perseverance and belief in themselves they knew once
They got healthy they would be a threat and they’ve been a fun team to watch as they get back to form Gafford no good on that free throw about Jonathan kaminga and how versatile this guy is capable playing a lot of positions and they’re exploring that and
A big thing that makes kaminga so valuable is his impressive length well he has the length ba and the strength to go with that but it’s also the lateral movement so threes fours and fives this kid can absorb all that contact and it’s just such a unique skill
Set and he drops the first yeah so easy to rout for Stephen Curry because of how much fun he seems to have on the floor Embraces the competition but is able to laugh it off when something doesn’t go his way A lot of things do though [Applause]
And so Curry Nails both of them for the Wizards trading Russell Westbrook to the Lakers was a great move Bren well it’s an idea about trying to go a different direction and cleared a ton of cap space they got a lot of depth they got first
Round picks out of that so the best part of the deal really might be Kyle kosma and what’s developing here with him in his game we saw him find his form he looks like a keep it they’ve shown the power inside their rebounding effort has been Sensational sinks it from distance
Curry’s got five points now in the quarter the accuracy that Curry has from that kind of range is just jaw dropping he does not miss that many shots from that deep here’s Shaman he’s got nine launches it Nails it from Beyond The Arc sh’s got 12 points in the game
Exactly what every offense needs Shooters who can force the defense to extend oh there’s no doubt he’s a legitimate threat from downtown and he’s demonstrating that in this game now here’s Looney give him eight and he’ll draw the foul he’ll head to the line for two well Brent the relationship between
Players and refs can sometimes seem a little hostile does it need to be that way well you and me have our little tiffs don’t we Brian so yes order for us to do our best work uh no I’m kidding it doesn’t have to be that way but look
When you’re at this level of competition it’s heated it’s intense sometimes get outside your gourd a little bit and that’s when instances like this can happen between a player and a referee and that goes for both sides he misses the free throw after a couple of injury plague Seasons where
They missed the playoffs the Warriors have returned to their winning ways and just how impressive is that and he’s good on the second right and getting Klay Thompson back has been a major factor for their renewed success well there’s no doubt how vital Klay is
To this team but you got to give credit to their overall depth I don’t think clay was fully healthy last year at any point so he’s coming in stronger this roster still feels like strength and numbers is in effect now here’s Thompson nine points in the game pool against
Curry over P Curry gets the bucket Curry’s got seven points for the quarter he’s getting it done offensively making winning plays at every turn pool outside back to shamut [Applause] six to shoot from outside the ark and it’s out of bounds they say it was last Touch by galinari
Basketball and here’s what the Washington Wizards schedule looks like on Tuesday they’ll go up against the Trailblazers in Portland and then on Thursday they’ll be taking on Rudy goar and the Minnesota Timberwolves the road is never the highlight of your schedule for any team but for these guys it is a
Chance to go out there test themselves and see how well they Jael outside of home court it could be a very valuable experience pass to Looney Now Thompson curry with it Beyond The Ark galinari pulls it in Thompson with a steal the Baseline Jay is on the way
And there’s Curry on the assist by Thompson Curry’s got 16 points now not just the accuracy in the quarter it’s his movement and the energy that’s getting him on this nice rle now a timeout called by Washington man 900 and 41 days away from being on the floor
That had to be so difficult for Klay Thompson you think about his contributions last year in the finals run and I don’t think he was ever fully healthy and it’s so great for the ERS in their Trio to have Clay back on the court now here’s P an effective score
For them scoring around 21 and a half points a game pass to kozma it’s stolen and that one is evered home that’s what happens when you don’t take care of the ball hey that makes the turnover hurt even more and the Gamble paying off and during his return from a
Torn ACL and a torn Achilles Kay was his own harshest critic well really tough to be away that long VA and the emotions the thoughts that go through your head about regaining your form being an elite player once again and that doesn’t just come from you you got to have a great
Team around you and that goes for the Physicians the teammates the coaching staff in the front office to get clay back to where he was in the finals last year now here’s Thompson nine points in the game Kinga shot is off but a d really getting away with one there no
One on him that’s going to be good nine out of 10 time it’s one thing to get outplayed but when you’re giving away possessions like this it makes it even more tough and here are the Warriors now they led the game at one point by 20 the Wizards have gotten five of 10
Shots to go here’s sh Dam it give him that one now shooting five for 11 from the floor looks like he’s shooting with a lot more confidence here in the second half pass to Thompson the three Washington with a rebound he hasn’t helped the cause with his
Shooting but his teammates have had his back here’s shamut and he was fouled while in the act of shooting so he’ll take two free throws Klay Thompson picks one up and already at such a young age Landry sham considered one of those critical role pieces for a very good team Sky still
The limit for where he can get to and he knocks down the first [Applause] one [Applause] [Applause] so he gets them both he’s making the most of every trip to the line providing for his [Applause] team back to to Curry six on the shot [Applause] clock and the Warriors Miss again won’t
See him miss that one too many times yeah that happens important thing is for players just don’t beat yourself up and make a Miss like that cost you another play now here’s P he has seven galinari with it over Looney and another Miss by Washington well if you believe in the numbers that
Mid-range shot is not a high value shot even with little or no defense on you he’s lost his momentum in a big hurry coming off an excellent quarter now he just can’t find the bucket a nice shot by galinari well hustle from Gallow there remember at 610 he can do that
Makes the right call by going back in and finding posession now a timeout called by Golden State and as we head into this break the players have an opportunity to replenish their energy with Gatorade as they prepare to go into the final stages of this ball game absolutely over the
Course of a game not to mention and it’s curry with the ball bringing it up for the Warriors they lead by their biggest margin of the game nine so with Paul on the bench here’s the group that Steve Kerr has on the floor in the post you’ll see Wiggins and Looney personal
Foul guard pair on the floor it’s Curry and Thompson at the line and let’s get your take guys on the scoring breakdown for the Warriors their accuracy in this one has just been on another level I mean the three ball keeps falling and the defense just hasn’t been able to run
Him off the line one thing you can add on to this and you don’t talk about it much as a point of emphasis but getting to the free throw line and generating easy points that can really help you out they got a lot of fre freebies and he’s good on the second now
Wiggins has showed himself over the past couple of Seasons as being a great two-way player and he can still now here’s shamet shot clock at six near the three-point line it’s p he gets that one to drop he’s now 5 of 12 and just another weapon that Jordan P has in his
Offensive Arsenal Thompson outside pass to Wiggins and there’s the whistle 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 yeah a quick little lean like that is going to get the ref’s attention foul call now here’s
Kozma to the paint the kick out to PO off Target from three-point range and this has been an outstanding display on the board and it’s a big part of why they have a lead in this game doing the Dirty Work Down Low like we know the League’s cracking down in those
Dangerous plays that risk a player’s Health why was that less of a focus when you played that’s a great question you I think it’s smarter to approach the game this way we we don’t want to have unnecessary injury because of guys maybe just taking it a little too far with the physicality
He got off to a terrific start from the perimeter but in the second half he can’t seem the build on that early success and plenty of contact on the shot so two free throws coming up 2022 Greg a year for the Washington Wizards with some historic significance and it
Marks 25 years of the Washington Wizard’s name being on an NBA jersey a cool moment for the current players who can look back on this franchise and know they’re a part of history that free throw missing if you have the Good Fortune of playing next to superstars in
This league there are certain guys who thrive in that environment and cavon Looney has been one of them and the second free throw good game moves along two minutes gone here in the fourth they could use a big shot here to get this offense going too many empty possessions right now they
Need a basket inside and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up here’s a look at what’s coming up for the Wizards on Tuesday they’ll go up against the Trailblazers in Portland then on Thursday they’ll be matching up against Mike Conley and the Minnesota timberwol and Kevin I think you have to
Look at this as an opportunity to take a step forward sometimes tough road trips can bring the best out of a team and bring you closer together that free throw no [Applause] [Applause] good good on the second free throw Warriors leading by 11 Curry kicks to Thompson back to
Curry Looney up top covered by Gafford over to the left wing six to shoot drills it from outside and the Warriors lead by 14 they’ve given up a lot of three-pointers here today pass to shamut pool against Curry cool the pass to [Applause] shamut there’s the pass to
Kma and he can’t answer back the three-pointer offline well they’ve been better than good on the glass today and there is a glaring discrepancy between these two teams in that area Wizards trailed by 14 cool with it pass to shamut back to P uses the glass to finish the layup P’s
Got four this quarter a defense so concerned with shamut and his shot making ability he makes the play that Time a bit under three and a half minutes of pass here in the fourth here’s Curry shoots over pool and the call on the shot sends him to the line Second personal Curry does a great job of selling that up fake and he forces the D to react they make the mistake Stephan
Curry taking two [Applause] shots the first one Falls yeah so easy the route for Stephan Curry because of how much fun he seems to have on the floor Embraces the competition but is able to laugh it off when something doesn’t go his way A lot of things do
Though and both free throws good for curry just solid really one of the very best there is at the free throw [Applause] line and here is pool and that one drops for him they are just killing him on the interior Warriors leading by 12 back to Curry Golden State moving the ball
Around from the ark the Warriors keep it going a new 14sec shot clock Wiggins passes to Thompson good on the bucket Thompson’s got the lead up to 14 now for the Warriors are we sure that’s the same player guys he looks completely different what confidence he’s playing with and look how engaged
He is on both ends now here’s P back to [Applause] shamut Thompson with the rebound well his shots aren’t dropping and they haven’t been able to keep Pace but they trust him enough to keep going to him see if he can find it and it’s kozma
With the ball for the wizards they get to take on the Blazers of Portland after this one that match up falls in the middle game of this three-game trip here’s gaffer and he gets it to go what a play there the hoop plus the harm personal foul well Greg we’re seeing
High schoolers now making six figures to play basketball I bet you wouldn’t have minded that in your time would you I tell you what it beats delivering the newspaper right it’s still fresh and developing but a lot of different opportunities are emerging alinari he’s checked in for Washington Warriors leading by
11 back to Curry pass to Looney and that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the foul and so he’s picked up his final foul he will sit for the rest of this game Lala he’s checked in for the Wizards Looney at the line [Applause] [Applause] for first free throw is good kingas come
In for Golden [Applause] State that one misses and when 610 Danilo galinari was drafted all the way back in 2008 a shooter with his size was rare well it was rare now we’re seeing more and more guys able to do this but there’s certainly a ton of value in
Gall’s efficiency and his size and consistency on the perimeter the mayor is checked in for Mike m foul the 15 foul penalty at the line for the dogs and the free throw no good shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws nice work to get it inside and draw the
Contact at the line for the dubs number two two shots and the first one at the line is good and Washington making a change here Gibson’s checked [Applause] in [Applause] that’s also good so he hits both free throws Wizards Trail by [Applause] 16 that’s tipped and here we go fast break Curry’s
Got it they grab their own Miss and kaminga throws it down that’s what he gives you a big time presence on the glass and you know what Greg once he gets his hands on it he’s not even thinking about kicking it out oh his competitiveness right now is why the
Teammates love and another Miss by Washington Warriors leading by 18 three-pointer rebounded by the Wizards goar’s got five rebounds tonight if you told me this was the kind of game he was going to have I would not have expected them to be in front right now passes it [Applause]
The alinari down low make it five for 10 with him in that bucket solid shot from Gallow he knows he has a mismatch down inside sinks the shot curry dishes to Thompson back to Curry a three-pointer Off the Mark Wizards Trail by 16 and there’s the pass
To whistle blows bucket is good and he’ll have a chance at the line to make it a three-point play and obviously his momentum from the last game has carried over here tonight yeah the coach pretty smart for zoning in on him and giving him opportunities to stay with that
Confident play and a player opt out for Kyle kozma after this season G probably hoping to earn himself a raise yeah and he’s a worker looking to round out his game and take that next step as he’s just entering his prime now here’s Curry can’t connect from short range there’s a
Little bit of pressure on him but not enough to cause him to miss a shot that’s in that close here’s p and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two at the free throw line foul johathan kaminga picks one up and P playing aggressive on the inside just
Forcing the defense to come at him at the line for two that’s good from p and Jordan P has stepped onto the NBA stage and not ever back down from a challenge he plays with tremendous confidence so he gets him both and so Curry will bring it up for
The Golden State Warriors they led by as many as 18 points that’ll be the first half of a two- game trip it’s been this way since halftime tremendous production from Beyond The Arc yeah pretty infectious right here guys in good spirits and percentages from downtown on
The rise in the second half the Wizards with another Miss well if he wants to make the defense work he’s got to start knocking down the threes only one so far in this game for him and none since halftime now here’s Looney boom he Changs it fre down L
Looney knows his role good at keeping the ball moving and finding the right man for the shot kma left side here’s sham Thompson with the rebound Thompson’s got his seventh rebound here tonight no doubt he’s struggling right now from the field let’s see if he can get it going
This and Curry kicking it up a notch right now not slowing him down on offense now here’s P will it go good on the shot P’s got 13 points here in the second half alone this is a oneman show right now he’s on a mission to get him out of this
Hole Thompson up top pass to Looney outside Curry the tray another three for Golden State he has created some terrific opportunities for himself and really made the most of it co the pass to kma now ginari nice Bal Movement by Washington [Applause] I mean I like the call I thought the
Defense was just there a little late 15 fou shooting for Washington lry shim two shots and free throw good from shanet yeah sometimes in a game you settle a little bit before settling in and right now I think he’s a big factor in how they’re getting to the
Line and that’s good as he hits both of his shots and already it’s such a young age Landry shamet considered one of those critical rle pieces for a very good team Sky still the limit for where he can get to pass to Thompson outside Curry kicks it to kaminga shot clock at
Five kinari with the rebound Wizards trailed by 17 the wide open look here for kozman and it’s off from three-point range sometimes you just have an off night guys and that’s what we’ve seen so far Thompson outside passes to Looney shoots the three that one’s not going to go no he’s
Usually very reliable from out there but tonight just not going down and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line and kma has great size and with that frame comes great responsibility that time he took the foul for the Wizards kman taking two
Shots and the first one drops and kma one of those forwards that can kind of go between plays the four or the small forward and that’s impressive versatility from this young player the mayor is jacked in for the [Applause] wizards warriors leading by 15 Thompson outside and we’re going to they have a
Jump ball it’s tied up there ball jump ball wizard s number [Applause] zero 139 left in the fourth quarter the pass to there’s the three doesn’t get it to drop for him and it’s the Warriors taking it the other way earlier in the game they had a 19-point
Lead and this this is going to end in a lopsided Victory I love the tenacity and aggressiveness as well as the ability to close you really got to give it up here for the Warriors and it may be a comfortable win for him but you know
They had to weather a few storms along the way and that’s all part of the story yeah Kevin this was by no means The Runaway that it might appear to be it was a scrappy performance though all the way through and for the year now they’ll
Ramp up their win total to an even 40 important with this win they split the season series at a game of piece and also avoid the sweep and that has to be a relief and what a tremendous standout performance it was for Stephen Curry just does a great job of looking for
Space and then finding it that’s taking advantage of what the defense is giving you and now a moment to present the New Balance player of the game Stephen Curry and what an amazing ball game we’ve seen from him it’s been a Onan show worth the price of admission all by itself there
Wasn’t anything he couldn’t do on that court tonight the better played the more these fans got revved up and that continued to play out over the course of his amazing performance Co no good on offense here are the Warriors 16-point lead and Joseph kicks to Robinson
Trains it from 17 ft out making every effort to put this game on Ice you love that the guys are staying aggressive late in this ball game just not wanting to let go of the Rope now here’s P six seconds separating the shot and game clocks six on the shot clock barries the
Long range jumper and pull Just Deadly from three here’s Joseph so we see the Warriors taking the game here some good moments throughout this one but they had the clear Advantage down the stretch yeah I mean I I love the way they executed on both ends of the floor completely under
Control for the vast majority of the game and whenever there was a misstep they just all right David great job thank so much and that about
