Are the starters for Los Angeles down in the Block it’s LeBron and Davis at the guard positions Russell and Reeds and aim mura in at the small forward and so the Los Angeles Lakers get the first points of the ball game and there it is for him really well done there just
Confident and composed never in a hurry outside Russell for three good for the basket starting off one for one with that shot good form on the jump shot Russell’s ability to stretch the floor makes him even more valuable gilgas Alexander kicks to Dort Williams against James Williams that’s
Good here in the first a little over a minute played so far the pass to [Applause] Reeves back to LeBron finished off by LeBron not much is better than a LeBron James flush woooo gilis Alexander kicks to hren pass to Williams now here’s gilis Alexander hren with it fires from Deep
Good on the three-point shot hen’s got five now well this gives you some confidence when you drop three straight to start the game has to Hatchy mura balls knocked loose and the Thunder pushing it up now here’s dor and oh boy a lot of contact there there but he gets
The call and will shoot two and when it comes to physical play it’s hard to get the best of Dort he invites contact at both ends we know this Smitty for the Lakers as long as they have LeBron James they’re in a win now mode don’t you
Think yes Kevin and why not LeBron is still playing at an incredible level and the Lakers are a franchise that only cares about titles he throw good Dort who needs the NBA draft I mean Dort worked his way onto the team into the rotation and then turns into a key
Contributor and he can’t hit the second in regard to the Thunder they had to go through through Greg a rebuilding process not too long ago yeah it was a tough couple years but they had a plan in place and did it the right way it made some smart signings and created a
Very balanced roster and talking about LeBron James Steve he still is on the hunt for more championships Kevin that hunger is still evident he’s all about finishing his career on a strong note which includes winning as many titles as possible free throw drops for James we don’t get
Too many generational players and LeBron James he is definitely one of [Applause] them so he makes one of two as the second one misses listen there’s no doubt he feels like they should have the lead but that Miss will keep it all tied up yeah clearly he had an established
Position there in with is check in for the [Applause] Lakers and here now the Thunder back to hren it’s stolen by Davis Williams against LeBron to the inside and the tun by LeBron using outstanding floor awareness there Russell’s ability to pick apart the defense and find the open man now here’s gilis
Alexander over in the corner dor here’s hry in the dunk by home Dr doing his job on the glass and doing it with Force and Greg it’s not everybody in the league who can make those kinds of plays you know this is one of his Specialties keeping plays alive creating Second Chance
Opportunities now here is Heim Mur coming off a stellar performance against Utah R from long Reign and great read There by SBA knew the shot was coming and just trusted was inant Williams a screen on dwit back to dor there’s the trip and a great assist by gilgas Alexander
As that one goes in gilgas Alexander’s got his third assist on the night now here’s James he’s got five first quarter play and just over 3 and 1/2 minutes in Davis with a screen on dor fires the three they get it back Davis kicks to Russell and the three off Target the
Thunder leading by three giddy with it defended by Den witty gilis Alexander against Russell gilis Alexander passes to Williams and that one good nice pass by gilis Alexander has the hike to see over the D and he’s unselfish passes to Hatchy Mur Hussle against Gil just Al [Applause]
Alander Lakers passing it around and it’s blocked by GG alexand I mean all period it’s been a struggle for him scoring the ball on the wing Williams he’s guarded by Russell Williams shot is off that was the best he could do just fade a little
Bit try and get a clean look but the defense was right on him dingy outside High post Davis Lock at six can they get it and it’s slammed in by Davis you see the weight that ads added to his frame over the years now invites contact now the pass to guilis Alexander
And that comes off the assist by giddy he couldn’t have played it better there was just enough room to get the shot off and the Lakers decide to take their first timeout [Applause] here [Applause] [Applause] and now a chance to take a look at the numbers for guilis Alexander last season
He played outstanding he was around 31 points per five assists and five rebounds and with his skill set on the offensive end he is such a threat on the floor I love it because he does so many things well defenses have to account for him even when he’s not [Applause]
Scoring and so it’s Russell with it he brings it up for the Los Angeles Lakers it’s a five-point game Kim mura sinks the three-pointer and we know haimura has a confident personality you see it there with the riseing fire approach nice now here’s George getting no one around him and the Thunder another
Three both teams running perimeter oriented plays that are working how often do we see this these days clubs answer each other from range here’s Haim he had a nice open look right there Haim Mur has got his second bucket tonight just solid with the jump shot Haim Mur helps your
Offense in a number of ways in that case spacing the Flor hen sets the screen for gilis Alexander and Davis sends it [Applause] back outside Russell Davis with a screen on gilgas Alexander Russell finds Davis and they’re unable to get the time basket there for Oklahoma City they’ve gone eight of 11 in the first quarter they’ll take that percentage any night giddy the pass to gilgas Alexander now hren and it’s out of bounds and last Touch by
Hren well let’s take a look at last year’s top scores fourth Shay gilis Alexander and looking back his points per game really underscore the fact that he never took a game off I mean one special performance after another all season long Los Angeles has gone three of seven
From three-point range in the first quarter James looking around from The Arc he can’t get that one to fall not quite enough defense that time around just lucky he was off Steve wouldn’t you agree the Los Angeles Lakers are one of if not the most storyed franchise in the
NBA yes Kevin the facts prove it the number one and number two alltime League scores both captured the record as Lakers That’s History right [Applause] there and that one Falls for Williams Los Angeles making a switch here this is checked [Applause] in not sure to push on the push it on
The and Williams drops him both now Den wty still scoreless out to Russell launches it it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City the Lakers beat them last time when these two teams met in Los Angeles well when you’re facing a team that’s feeding off the crowd’s energy you have
To bring your aame and they didn’t do that defensively it looked like there were communication breakdowns all night deadly especially when you’re on the road and it’s gilas Alexander missing just doing the job on the back doori Russell against gilis Alexander back to Prince pass Russell six to shoot Den witty wide open
Good and it’s Russell picking up the assist Russell’s got his fourth assist with that last one here tonight gordis screen on Russell gilis Alexander passes to Geor still growing as a true League guard gilis Alexander is a high IQ passer who isn’t afraid to let the play develop gilis Alexander with the
Steel Williams that’s a two-pointer again Oklahoma City Lakers Trail by five and Davis now top of the key he dishes it to Russell jacks up a three drills it from outside Russell’s got a couple of Threes now in the first for Los Angeles that’s a dozen straight points coming off the
Triple timeout is called First of the game for the Thunder and for his size and Steve when healthy Anthony Davis is as agile and mobile as they come that’s his secret sauce Kevin he has great size and skill but his ability to move like a guard really separates him from other [Applause] bigs
[Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] so it’s both teams making substitutions [Applause] [Applause] here got him Wallace outside pass to Joe and here is holgren he’s guarded by Davis and out of bounds as the Lakers gain possession and a look here at the scoring Trend over the last several
Months for him look sometimes you go up sometimes down and and the trend has been on the downward side in terms of his average points per game and of variety of factors can be the culprit and a lot of times you focus on the efficiency more than just pure Point
Output now here’s Den witty you got to love strong defense especially when it comes in the form of harsh rejections wow and in a close game blocks like that are so clutch and that could be a real Difference Maker here tonight Dy outside nice passing here by Los Angeles
Here’s Davis and H run plays with great anticipation on the defensive end he Alters so many shots so the wing on the left from 13 and that’s good off the glass that time HS got nine guys his consistency in terms of shooting has really helped them seize control outside
Davis there’s the dish to dwit that’s in there Davis with the assist dwit he’s got his second basket that’s what Davis can provide for you gave his man such a great look and Davis sends it back and he gets it back and he recovers it tough possession there they stayed with it but
They just couldn’t make it and on the glass so far it hadn’t even been close passes it to Wood and finished off by wood and there’s a lot of power behind Woods’s dumped he’s not going to get cheated when he takes it to the [Applause] r now here’s Wallace he’s guarded closer
And the whistle blows it’s going to be on Davis that is his first foul of the game a different look for ok Oklahoma City Williams he checked in for Homen Williams comes in for Williams and guilis Alexander is subbed in for Wallace James checked in for the Lakers
Williams finds Williams fires away from outside Joe can’t get it to go the Lakers shooting very well 58% the offense is for right now early for them the pass to D ready from Deep rebound by Williams and here Williams now he’ll bring it up for the Thunder Wiggins from [Applause] outside 56 seconds left in the first quarter and he DS it down as six1 Davis can survey the defense and five just the right passing angle thunder coming to this one after the win against the magic Gil just Alexander kicks to Wiggins Pass to Joe Williams with the ball
Pass to Joe now Wiggins six on the shot clock from pass the ark Joe can’t get it to go and I think that one could have easily have fallen for you Prince the pass to LeBron here’s [Applause] wood LeBron outside wood with the screen for LeBron rebounded by Joe
To the paint there’s Williams and he banks in the layup and those are the kind of nice inside looks they’ve gotten here in the first half James Way outside and the last shot before the buzzer is off it’s a tie game in Oklahoma City let’s take a quick break now and then
It’s on to the second quarter after this on some good action already in this one but a fairly even match up after the first quarter of play what stands out to you from Oklahoma City in this one aggressive at running guys to the backboard you could tell it was part of
Their game plan coming in and they have the guys to do it play to your strength and they can make up for some of your weaknesses Oklahoma City has gone 3 to7 tonight from three-point arship Wiggins is out there with Williams then it’s Williams then there’s Shay gilis
Alexander and it’s Joe in at the two guard spot it’s the lineup in the game for Oklahoma City fouled in the active shooting gets the bucket anyway so a three-point play chance for him coaches say GA the league has a problem when it’s punishing the retaliators and not the instigators do
They have a point Kevin I think so for any scuffle it’s worth asking who started it and that’s what we do in life normally right one shot and James no good on that one Oaklahoma City [Applause] trailing here’s Joe he’s coming off a 10-point game against the Magic in
Orlando down low Williams and a great assist by gilas Alexander as that one goes in gilis Alexander’s got assist number seven for him tonight dwy up top gilis Alexander covering wood with the bucket you know he’s got a wide range of skills inside looks ready for whatever the defense
Throws at it and while we’ve got a moment that’s send it over to our terrific reporter David ol David thank you Kevin well the OKC Thunder is still building but is it fast enough for their All-Star guard Shay gilis Alexander SGA says I think we’re going to be a really
Good team a lot sooner than people think so it’s pretty easy for me to be patient I see the growth every day and I’m super excited about it Kevin and we see it too hey David thank you here’s Joe following the basket by LeBron James outside gilis
Alexander an easy two points on the layup gilis Alexander’s got his second basket of the game despite his slim frame Shay gilis Alexander showing enough strength to take the hit and complete the play Los Angeles calls [Applause] timeout [Applause] [Applause] the Lakers making a switch here and now
A moment to see the stats for dwy good season for him last year he averaged about about 17 points a game last year six assists and three rebounds he’s been making the right decisions and and letting the game come to him solid Play All Around he’s not trying to take over
Necessarily he’s just taking what the defense allows and contributing to the calls here’s Den witty coming in off a 10-point game his last outing LeBron with a screen on gilgas Alexander and again no good by the Lakers the game has been very close in a lot of areas but rebounding has been the
One differentiator thus far passes it to Joe and here is Williams some nice passing by Oklahoma City here shot clock at six and no good had a chance to take the lead there or l Los Angeles they’ve gone three of four from the Flo here in the
Second quarter and Prince with the jam not just hanging out on the perimeter Prince showing his versatility and can challenge you at The Rim gilis Alexander looking around and there’s the pass to Joe off line with his three and on an open look like that he’s very gifted at
Making the weak cover Rich pay James against Williams quarter number two around three minutes gone by in the corner it’s Wiggins there’s the three and a great assist by gilis Alexander as that one goes in gilgas Alexander’s got his eighth assist in the game now here’s LeBron nine points in the game so
Far LeBron powering inside the power of LeBron able to overwhelm the defender even though he’s in position to contest kicks to Williams outside gilis Alexander in the corner it’s Wiggins can’t tie it up as that one misses Los Angeles leading by three Den wty outside the
Three oh and he almost had a four-point play right there he’ll go to the line with a chance for three yeah good job trying to get a hand in the face but you’ve got to be more careful and guys let’s get your take on the scoring breakdown for the Lakers
They’re unselfish they’re passing the ball well setting up teammates playing Team back basketball and their focus and they’ve also been affected from Beyond The Arc tonight and if that continues guys it can really open up the rest of their offense the free throw drops for Den [Applause] witty and he’s good on the
[Applause] second and he makes all three and they’re really getting more points at the free throw line here in the second quarter here’s gilas Alexander and the dunk by gilas Alexander and watch out for SGA going to the basket he will put it on your head if you’re not watching break isn’t an
Amazing the way gilas Alexander has polished off his game the footwork Kevin is impeccable three-level score makes every shot imaginable and what’s scary this guy still has another level to get to to the middle here’s hay and hay throws it down yeah I mean maybe could have tried for a more memorable dump
Than that one and we know he’s capable of those memorable ones now here’s gilis Alexander a 32-point game for him in the win against Orlando here’s giddy good the nice assist for Williams giddy’s got six points just a little confusion among the D as to who was supposed to be on it
Here’s Russell that’s not no good good d by gilas [Applause] Alexander giddy against Den witty Williams a screen on Den witty giddy kicks to kilis Alexander that misses had a chance to tie it there okay that’s frustrating you work hard to get these open looks you know he like that one
Back here’s Russell clings the bottom of the bucket from 13 ft out he’s got eight it’s nice to see Russell’s discipline stays patient and earns the shots he gets and the call is going to be yes yes it is an illegal screen and while we can here’s a look at
The teams that have the fastest hands in the league last season the thunder in fourth you could tell by watching them how much they enjoyed playing defense they seem to have an endless reserve of energy flying around and and pressuring the basketball Willams he’s checked in for
Oklahoma City and then for Los Angeles Davis has checked in for Jackson hay and it’s Austin Reeves in for Russell back to den wtti the three from LeBron James connects from Deep what a game for him so far he started out strong in that first quarter and has only turned it up from
There Williams a screen in gilis Alexander kicks to dor the shots good gilis Alexander making the play gilis Alexander’s got nine assists in the game great passing now here’s dwit he’s got 10 it’s rebounded by giddy Thunder trailing by five here’s Williams and that one hits
Back I not pretty you just got to shake off a Miss like that inside Williams and finished off by Williams 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 KN but the
Truth is those type of plays are going to happen we just have to regroup mentally and get back to work now here’s GIS Alexander six points for him teardrop shot and Davis sends it back using that 7 foot6 Wings span Anthony Davis an elite shot blocker DWI passes to [Applause] Reeds outside [Applause]
Davis to James and the rebound goes to the Thunder and not allowing the shooter even an inch of breathing Happ you know we always talk about this just changing the shot can be just as effective as blocking it even though it’s less spectacular here’s LeBron following the store by Oklahoma [Applause]
City back to [Applause] Davis Lakers looking the ball around now never a bad idea to run the old pick play uh-uh you’re right and if it produces slam like that we’ll probably see more of them especially if the defense is going to allow you to do it have to switch on that
Play here’s giddy here’s Williams that’s good and so giddy with the assist Williams has got six here in this quarter those Defenders just look a little bit gassed I mean they’re getting pushed around on that low block here’s Reeves giddy defending Davis with a screen on
Giddy they get it again pass to re from outside the ark not going to go that time and so it’s Dort with it he brings it up for the Oklahoma City Thunder they Trail by one oh here’s giddy T right on him and trying for the go-ahead basket it
Doesn’t go in James the pass to Reeds he kicks it to den witty back to LeBron Davis setting the pick for James from out on the wing he knocks it down James has got 16 points oh he’s heating up here now in the second quarter watch out now a timeout called by Oklahoma
City [Applause] oh [Applause] Chad hren he’s checked in for Williams and then for the Lakers toian Prince comes in for LeBron and D’Angelo Russell subbed in for Den witty and so here is Oklahoma City it’s a three-point [Applause] game d with a screen for gilgas Alexander good for another basket for
Him number four today he’s four of eight and there’s a pattern starting to take shape here they’re working at inside and getting good shots from close range reades the pass to Hatchy Mur taken away by Williams drives to the hoop pass to guilis [Applause] Alexander on deep Prince good and assist goes to
Russell Russell’s got five assists tonight when Prince gets it clicking from the perimeter gets his confidence going the entire offense benefits it’s Kitty with the draw and he’s an automatic finisher when he gets into that area he is and he picks the simple one-and stuff to get the two
Points passes it to Hatchi Mur driving inside Williams with the block and that’ll be the Lakers as it goes out of bounds Lakers retain possession [Applause] we’ve got 12 128 left in the second quarter Williams against haty Mur and he got off to a nice start but has slowed
Down here in the second quarter and stolen by Prince and you can see what makes Haim Mo a tough cover he can beat you with finesse and also he can bring the hard hat nice work to get it inside and draw the contact for Los Angeles they have
Made four free throws from the line and missed [Applause] two take a break take a break two shots [Applause] and the first one [Applause] drops and that one goes in two from the line that time 110 left in the first half of basketball here’s gilis [Applause]
Alexander Dives for it and he stays with it there’s the pass to Dort for Davis Dort misses Lakers leading by four here’s Reed and again no good by the [Applause] Lakers it’s Williams High post Davis is up count that one for George the defense not putting up any fight on the inside
They’ve allowed 10 straight points in the paint Prince with a screen on guilis Alexander And Out of Bounds as the Thunder gain possession [Applause] Oklahoma City has gone six of 14 with the three ball tonight just a little over 40% two second difference between shot clock and game
Clock and here is giddy he’s coming off a 10-point game against Orlando down to five on the shot clock here’s gilges Alexander and Davis sends it back and so it’s LeBron James making things happen for the Los Angeles Lakers he comes away with 11 points in the quarter
And is showing no signs of fatigue it’s time now to go Courtside as we send you over to David Aldridge from the sideline David take it away thanks Kevin ad you see how they’re playing you in the first half what’s the adjustment going to be so know we got to
Come out with a great intensity and it starts to warm up so we got to come out with a great intensity great mindset and I go there and win in third quarter I have never heard anyone say it starts in warm-ups until now thanks ad back to you
Kevin okay David much appreciated and now time for halftime so we’ll be back in just a bit to get the third quarter [Applause] underway come one come all the 2K halftime is here and so is our our breakdown of the upcoming schedule let’s check it out I think for Oklahoma City at this
Point you got to take every team you’re up against as a test asking yourself what can we do better than last year happens for us too Kenny you cook up any new approaches in the offseason well I’m going to reveal those you know over time not just all in one sitting but you’re
Right there is an opportunity to stretch and experiment see what’s working and what isn’t well as we check check out the results of the first half for the Lakers it’s been neck and neck this is why coaches tell their guys always be ready we’re going to need you be ready and you
Don’t always know which games it’ll be but tonight they’ve needed scoring from their reserves good job guys it’s kept them in the game but I think they’ll have to ride their Stars down the stretch and that about wraps it up and as the third quarter is about to begin
We go to Kevin Harland for the the call and after a fairly even first couple of quarters the second half could turn out to be a great one as both teams try to gain an edge it’s been a clinic out there by James man he’s been running
Wild on him through that first half absolute Dynamite on offense this is his challenge to continue to dominate to help them try to close strong here in the second half we’ve got second half action for you and if the next couple quarters are similar to the first this one could go
Down to the last possession so the Lakers five right now at the guard positions Russell and Reeds down in the Block it’s LeBron and Davis and aachi mura in at the three spot LeBron with it he’s picked up by home and block that one goes King off the
Glass Long S one with that 76 can alter a block just about every shot in his vicinity and with an update from the sideline let’s check in with David ald thank you Kevin Spencer Den witty has talked about buying into his role he says you have to have confidence
That’s borderline irrational but a perspective that’s very realistic you got to know who you are Kevin adds that he’s not attempting to be a Mount Rushmore type guy but a talented player who can help a winning team that’s a good perspective David thanks for the story what’s [Applause]
Up and that one Falls and that puts him up by one point nearly automatic yis Alexander no slou from the line outside Russell H just Alexander with the steel and now in transition here’s Williams ready he go and the dunk by hren well that’s why they’re in front aggressive
Play at both ends nicely done Russell passes to Reeds second half just getting started about a minute play Davis with a screen on guil Alexander from long range Davis on the follow that’s the hard work you love to see from a star like ad never gave up on the
Plank gilgas Alexander against Russy Williams has a scream for gilgas Alexander and he drives in and the rejection by [Applause] James Russell finds Davis here’s Reeves lets it go from Deep it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City got four rebounds in this game Oklahoma City moving it around to the inside gilis Alexander passes to
Dort just five to shoot nobody near Williams and again Oklahoma City with the triple well Dort makes the smart play there he spots a wide open shooter and just gets him the ball outside Russell G just Alexander with the steel with some Mark LeBron with the block pass to
Reed good and the assist goes to LeBron James has got four assists in the game that’s why people want to play with LeBron he’s always creating good looks for his teammates now here’s GIS Alexandri 11 points in the game Williams can’t get it to go and you can
See the defender afraid to kind of get in his way A lot of times when he’s on the Str to the basket but on that one they were there lets the three fly oh drew the foul and almost hit the three-point bucket and he’ll go to the line to shoot
Three and the SL dunk by Russell I love the spatial awareness from Russell saw how much room he had and just took it aggressively gilis Alexander kicks to dor knocks it Loose right side Russell Gil just Alexander with it he’s picked up by Russell and it’s Jord off the drive Rees
With the rebound he like to have that one back that’s easy money Russell dishes to Davis James Jack hamers it down it’s been a pleasure as always to watch LeBron work a truly gifted player and D’Angelo Russell picks up the foul that’s his third foul of the game and
The next one puts him in the bonus and right now let’s watch that terrific SWAT and boy did he get up quick to reject that shot that’s as fundamental as defense [Applause] gets Williams against James Williams passes to Giddy Gil Alexander with it basket good gilas Alexander’s got 13
Points that’s Shay gilit Alexander slim frame but has the length to finish over or around you Los Angeles calls [Applause] timeout [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] and checking out some stats for D’Angelo Russell a very nice season for him last year put up about 17 points a game six
Assists and three rebounds and he has been passing the ball like a virtual alsoo that’s what really stands out about these recent performances you know mentally he’s a pass first type of player it gets everyone involved and engaged and that really Sparks this [Applause] Offense Oklahoma City on [Applause] deep now here is Hatchy mura eight points for him and they double up James Davis kicks to Hatchy mura and that one Falls coming off of Davis’s feed Davis has got assist number five here tonight three point shooting since the half has been about
As good as you could ask for now here’s GIS Alexander 13 points in the game and for the ball out of bounds Davis touched it last great energy on the deflection and a good job disrupting their offense this is called an effort play terrific hustle at the defensive
End on defense the Lakers they lead by four and that’s to terrific d by haimura he’s shown he has the strength and length to match up against almost anyone back to James and they double up James here’s hcky Mur and they’ll get another chance defensively you have to tight up on him
Or suffer the consequences Oklahoma City has gone one to two from Beyond The Arc since coming out of the break Hy with the screen on and the officials will call the illegal scen right there and not the most common call you’ll see in the NBA but Hardy argue that piit wasn’t illegal it’s
Often a tough call that can go either way but I agree with you on that one DW is checked in for Los Angeles and another steal for him and that’s his sixth steal of the night imposing his will at the defensive end and that’s his fourth and no doubt he would have liked
To have not gotten it this soon orian Prince he’s checked in for D’Angelo [Applause] Russell pass to Giddy Gil just Alexander with it beyond the AR and that comes off the assist by giddy gilis Alexander got 16 points James [Applause] outside back to deny and right away they match it with a
Three-pointer of their own he’s got 13 matching baskets from the perimeter and ear Mark of today’s game hey players love competition and the fans love it as well time called here the Thunder decide to talk it over [Applause] [Applause] yeah [Applause] [Applause] the [Applause] go so it’s the Thunder now will Willams with the ball 17 points in the game and it’s sent back by Prince Tori and Prince saying not on my watch spectacular d and a look at how the hustle game has been going for the
Lakers it’s easy for me look at their defensive effort all game the block total shows their commitment to contesting shots and they’ve also forced a lot of turnovers capitalizing and turn those turnovers into points way to get after and and they’re controlling the boards Kevin that’s plus five in that
Category LeBron outside pass to hachim mura back to James shoots the three and another three for the Lakers and the D has gotten a little bit laxed here defending the triple under trailing by 11 kiddy the pass to Williams Pi coming Pi coming Davis against holgren it’s Dort on the wing six to
Shoot here’s Williams shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws the Thunder shooting their sixth and seventh free throw attempts tonight and a season ago at the charity strike this is a group that shot an impressive 81% Take a break take a break Two Shots the first free throw is [Applause] good second free throw no good and so James will bring it up for Los Angeles it’s a 10-point game they can look forward to San Francisco after this game and a match up against Golden
State will be the third game of this three game road trip this shots just it’s not there right now with his team leading for halfs you know let’s focus on some other areas of the game home gets the bucket holms got 13 now that’s got to excite hrms fans if he
Keeps improving his handles watch out here’s Hatchy Mur Dort grabs the Miss Dort got his fifth Rebound in this one he just Alexander with it defended by Den WI hram can’t hit Lakers leading by eight Greg were just talking about Chad Olam and he’s a lot tougher I think than his
Frame might indicate physically and mentally he does not B down in fact he he’s often the one who initiates contact you think you’re going to bully him he’s going to try to bully you here’s G Alexander following the basket by Anthony Davis our timeout called by Oklahoma City go back to Oklahoma [Applause]
[Applause] oh [Applause] for [Applause] and the Thunder making a switch here Williams is checked in and Los Angeles making a change here as well Christian Woods checked in for Hatchy mura let’s do this come on bring it [Applause] back outside Williams on the wing gilgas Alexander
Then with he cover it and out of bounds as Los Angeles gains possession all right a chance to check out the stats for LeBron James he’s coming off an excellent season averaged about 29 Points a game last season eight rebounds and seven assists and with the ball in
His hands he is an outstanding distributor he’s the straw that stirs the drink the more plays they run through him the better now here’s Prince Five Points in the game and it’s t quite simply new is an elite Defender plays hard smart great wing span which we just saw him used
There giddy against LeBron giddy the pass to gilg Alexander l City moving the ball around I can say and the rejection by James that’s out of bounds Oklahoma City able to retain possession [Applause] [Applause] here just for to shoot here’s Williams oh he blocked it into def Flex off the
Backboard Davis up top covered by Wiggins Prince the pass to LeBron James gets inside and finishes and he is really in a zone right now playing and scoring with confidence wi against LeBron now here’s wiggan guarded wood with the block man an aggressive block there by wood he’s not going to shy away
From competing defensively Den witty dishes the Prince back to den witty nailed from three-point l d wood he’s got 16 points how many times times have we seen a possession like that from them today ending with a basket coming off a pretty pass for three hren drops in the train it’s enough to where you have to respect him
Had one triple in the first half now has his second LeBron against Wiggins goes up at the strike a thunder P it in you you almost have to assume he’s going to knock those down when he is that open just a solid performance on the interior the rebounding has been off the chart
Now here’s LeBron he’s got 25 we’ve got 108 left here in the third quarter Wallace kicks to hren the pass to Joe no good there and that would have ped the single digits and so James will bring it up for the Lakers leading by Trump and you could tell he thought that
Triple was going to fall there’s 42 seconds left to play here in the third pass to Joe outside Williams for three hren he watches it go through the hoop for his eighth make now eight for 14 all about converting your opportunities he just hit his second
Three of this half third of the tonight D passes Tois and he slams it down right on top of Jed hungen entertaining fans and embarrassing opponents ad showing us what it’s all about awesome display of athleticism captured by your AT&T 5G slam cam the three ball Joe can’t get it to go now
LeBron fires away from way outside and he got that one up in time but doesn’t go in and so it’s Los Angeles holding on to an 11-point push as we get ready to take a break we’re shooting the ball so well in this one a great performance from the
Field back to the action in just a [Applause] minute and now let’s go back to a play from earlier as we show you our State Farm assist of the game and how about the floor generalship right here I mean showing us why they’re always in good
Hands when he’s the man in charge so many good point guards in this league so much responsibility comes with that position that was a smart smart play and with the fourth quarter Upon Us time is running out for this teame to become competitive Williams is out there
With h ground then there’s Wallace then there’s Shay gilis Alexander and it’s Joe in at the small forward it’s the lineup in the game for Oklahoma City now here’s Den witty shot from free throw range and the jumper Falls for him J Woody’s got the fourth quarter started
Here with a bucket for Los Angeles here’s gilis Alexander takes the three buries the long range jumper gilis Alexander got 11 in the second half the defense a step slow you can see the results Maz passes to den Wy to the paint here’s Davis Thunder with the rebound col bren’s got his eighth
Rebound here tonight dishes at the Wallace back to hren here’s gilgas Alexander and gilgas Alexander throws it down look at these numbers there’s a reason SGA is one of the best guards in the NBA right now timy outside kicks It Out The Prince and the Thunder with some changes
Williams comes in for hren and Wiggins is subbed in for WS Hayes with the screen for dwiti he feeds it to AES bked in off the glass and the Lakers lead by 10 pretty much all of their buckets coming from inside the paint now and for the Thunder
They’re shooting a respectable 47% from the field in this one here’s Joe from Deep he’ll just have the tender and they they got a big lead not just on the scoreboard but really in the rebounding numbers as well James in the post he’s guarded by Williams knocked
Away and Williams with the clear path to the hoop the shot no good great D that time from James just little under two and 1/2 minutes of pass now here in the fourth Fires for three and the rebound goes to the Thunder they host the Clippers after
The Ste and that will be the middle game of this three- game Home St outside gilgas Alexandri that three Off the Mark Los Angeles leading by 10 Prince kicks to LeBron Twitty outside good and the assist goes to LeBron Dan wood he’s got 21 in the game another
Good play this is how they built the lead calling on the right guys at the right time the reason why they’ve stayed aggressive and they have not let up this entire night and at this point I wouldn’t expect them to and upping the intensity SGA forces his way through the [Applause]
Contact Prince up top back to LeBron I see him I Hayes with the screen for James over Williams and it’s James missing Thunder trailing by 11 Williams passes to gilgas Alexander Williams can’t get it to go LA’s G one to two from three-point range here in the fourth kicks it to ha pass to James Ting wty outside oh good with the triple well Thunder have gone three to seven from the Flor in the fourth that’s a 42% Mark in the
Court a different look for Oklahoma City Williams is checked in for Williams and Wallace subbed in for Wiggins the Lakers also with the sub Russells checked in Joe passes to gilgas Alexander just five on the clock and with that one the lead is trimmed to single digits gilis Alexander
Got nine points now in the quarter passes it to Prince and Prince with the jam the D just kind of stepping aside and letting him get to the rim there’s a reason G the lead is what it is right now it’s a back breaker for your defense
Giving up easy buckets like that great perimeter D gave a good shooter absolutely no room to operate feeds it to dwit oh went in there and tried to power it down but Drew contact he’ll head to the line oh stops the duck there the best outcome in a bad situation [Applause] and the first one at the line is Good [Applause] so one for two that time at the strike players we know get miked up now Steve so we can get some insight to there talking on the floor on the bench how would that have gone over in your day well you know Kevin we got miked up I
Did not like it uh you felt funny having just extra stuff that you had to carry around but I love to hear the community ation that goes on in the game now sitting on this side and James picks up the foul that is his first foul of the
Game Anthony Davis he’s checked in for the Lakers Kimura comes in for Prince outside Dort Williams passes to hren shot clock at five and a wide open look for gilis Alexander no good from outside and here’s James they’ll bring it up for Los Angeles the biggest lead of the game 15
Points and they double up James Davis kicks to den witty it’s rebounded by giddy giddy’s got five rebounds [Applause] tonight gilis Alexander finds back to gilas Alexander Russell with it he’s picked up by gilgas [Applause] Alexander Russell passes to James Davis against giddy shoots from the right block and
Davis can’t get it to go Defender trailing by 12 home kicks to Giddy Russell against guilis Alexander back to homm count it hrm’s got 21 in the game oh good defense hram just too tall and boy is he skilled down low here’s Davis and it’s
Davis with the jam and just taxs a few more points onto their lead with the top Ah that’s bringing it down hard gilis Alexander kicks to Williams He blocks it again a defensive stall work so far that’s six blocks Greg protecting the rim love the hustle and
Davis can’t get it to go uncontested look can’t fult the shot selection he’s money from there Williams a screen on witty H and he stams it one handed and didn’t do anything fancy there but didn’t need to nope he his only concern right now is getting the points on the
Board I don’t mean style Points Los Angeles calls Timeout [Applause] [Applause] All Austin Reeds is checked in for the Lakers let’s check in with our reporter David aldri hey guys listen in on what garinham was talking about with his players now he kept it simple in the Huddle he said play smart if we don’t beat ourselves we walk away with the win
Keep it simple and we got this back to you guys all right thank you David on defense the Thunder got a piece of it and stolen by Williams oh here’s giddy he’s covered closely and the officials calling for a three second violation and it’s easy to
Give up after a play like that but this team needs to keep fighting it’s just one trip down the court but you have to have short memory in this league or you won’t last long now here’s James here’s Davis and it’s slammed in by Davis
That’s what you like to see from the big fella Anthony Davis with the power finish and the pass to gilgas Alexander now hren here’s the three the footb controls the rebound and puts it back up and in man he keeps doing his part they just haven’t been able to get over the
Hump pass to Reeds good and the assist goes to LeBron and the Lakers lead by 13 late reaction defensively he quickly takes advantage grows their lead you can’t afford to give him space those kinds of mistakes have been the story of this game and plenty of contact on the shot so two
Free throws coming up what I like there guilis Alexander knows when to force the action terrific awareness for his age shooting two that’s good from gilis [Applause] Alexander so he gets him both we’ve seen him put a lot of pressure on the defense and then cash in at the line Lakers leading by
11 pass to Reeves takes it from 10 second chance effort and James with the layoff LeBron’s got 11 in the second half we still see the fire of LeBron James after all these years he’s still [Applause] fighting here’s gilgas Alexander got a piece of it Dort against
LeBron LeBron bees it in the face of strong defense defensively that’s what you want to do keep LeBron out of the lane make him a jump shooter problem is he’s really good at that too time called here the Thunder decide to talk it [Applause] over [Applause] [Applause] oh [Applause] [Applause] for [Applause] [Applause]
[Applause] here’s Giddy and the powerful one-handed slam and it’s encouraging to see Dort drop dimes like that wanting to round out this part of his game LeBron outside passes to Reeves lets it go with a three the three-pointer is Right On Target Reeves has got six points in the
Quarter woo he got a clean look and he makes the defense paid for disrespecting him gilgas Alexander finds Dort outside side for gilgas Alexander and they wasted no time getting those three points back gilgas Alexander’s got a couple of three-pointers now in the fourth for Oklahoma City and the Lakers
Call time here they’re up by 13 a minute 50 left in the fourth [Applause] quarter [Applause] w [Applause] oh now the pass to James over Williams James misses and so it’s giddy with it he brings it up for the Thunder the 15-footer rebound the Lakers James has got rebound number 17 if you
Can believe that outside Davis and the rejection by hram and with his L it’s easy to see why hram such an effective side pass to gilgas Alexander Fades it’s ha in by LeBron hard to create space in that mid-range area he would have been better passing that
Off softly drops in the floater LeBron’s got 15 points in just the second half 103 left to play here in the fourth and guys what we saw here tonight is one side having everything going for huge margin of victory for Los Angeles two great rebounding teams and these guys
Worked just a little bit harder tonight and that was the edge they needed and it’ll go down as their first official win of the new year and we watched him all night long no one could really stop him just another excellent game that was for LeBron he did it all tonight making
An impact with more than just his scoring how about the fact that he got a triple double that’s good from gilgas Alexander 55 seconds left in the game Giles Alexander against dwit good a screen on gilgas Alexander and finished off by wood and it’s just competing you know giving your
Best when it matters most it’s called killer Instinct it’s one thing to be close at the end it’s another to finish and it’s the Thunder with the ball after the basket by the Lakers Gil just Alexander that’s a two-pointer there’s Williams and it’s Williams throwing it
Down and that’s a lesson for the D fight harder on the glass reason why lack of focus lack of communication which led to Second Chance points 1 second separating the shot clocking game clock did W he finds Prince and here’s wood outside and again Los Angeles with
The triple they just blocked out the noise kept on grinding and this is their reward and guess what it’s going to be a fun flight home total team effort big win on the road and so it’s the Lakers taking care of business here this was a very strong showing for him Greg not
Necessarily a runaway win but one they’ll feel very good about and let’s face it anytime you can go on the road and win in the fashion they did you have to feel good about it really an outstanding effort all the way around and we’ve got David Aldridge standing by
On our sideline with the player of the game David it’s all yours thanks very much LeBron when you know ad is behind you how does that help you defensively you can stay home you can allow him to play one on one versus a guard versus a big and you can stay home
And be able to box out and get rebounds cuz he’s that good it’s quite a onew punch man congrats on the win back to you all right David thank you thank you for joining us that’ll do it for now for Greg Anthony Steve Smith and David Aldridge this is Kevin harand saying
