One of this season's MVP candidates Shea Gilgis-Alexander and the OKC Thunder looking for their seventh straight win taking on Victor Wembenyama Little rookie of the year head-to-head two between him and Chet Holmgren SGA down low no no no Wemby flat-footed just You're doing Thunder down five Chet up top Wembenyama nearly gets a piece of it Holmgren kind of just batted in and went down Then Wemby down low over Holmgren the Spurs leading in the second by five Jalen Williams Holmgren Thunder up five At the half It's important and it's good to see these young players play well because LeBron ain't gonna be able to do it forever Even though last night makes you think maybe he could oh my goodness heavens to Betsy SGA with a throwdown he had 31 Wemby Jeremy Sohan catches in rhythm over the shoulder flip Spurs lead by three Holmgren head fake gets Wembenyama off the ground. He had 23 Thunder down three six point lead What are we oh that's right? He can do that Incredible They get the skill and this young man's Enormously long frame. He's done it again Wembenyama and the Spurs up nine Holmgren trying to get the handle and Wembenyama flat-footed and just says no sir We do not bring the Kool-Aid to a gin party 28 points 13 boards 7 assists 5 blocks 1 Microphone that he would like to use to address the crowd after the Spurs got the win They're gonna get that dude the keys to the city someday Journey just beginning and he fills up the box score on the stat sheet averaging 20 10 5 boards 5 blocks Over his last 7 games the only other player to do that in a 7 game span the man you just saw David Robinson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar remarkably a list that doesn't include wilt Warriors have been a warm of late. They wrap up their February with the trip to MSG to take on the Knicks Jalen Brunson back in the lineup for New York Steph Curry right out of the gates and right down the neck Warriors lead by three curry again a quick seven nothing run to open it. It's up to nine in Transition give me all three of these a 14 and nothing run to start it Former warrior Dante DiVincenzo, not a fan of the way the game began That's how you wanted to start off you wanted to start DC scoreless Dante's got the he's got this finger on the trigger and has been pulling lately here off the miss Jonathan coming curry splapper What a rebound from Kaminga and then in one fluid motion to the shooter the Warriors up 15 again curry in the timeline Such an outrageous shooter of the basketball. It's a joke It's now a nine-point game. Check that Brunson corner three. He had 27 Knicks down 10 heading in the final dozen minutes Block coming from a man Steve Curry Steve Curry Steve Kerr praised afterwards. That's Moses Moody that leads to coming in transition There's a burst for the man that got 25. He'd missed the free throw warriors headed to seven Draymond green Brandon pajev ski It drops and the vets loving that Starting to find their stride aren't they? Curry again corner three again. He had 31 eight triples. Here's Kerr on the Warriors road record Well, I just think we're playing with some confidence, you know, I know we've lost some home games during during that stretch but We're we're playing with confidence. We're playing better defense obviously the night the Knicks were Shorthanded tonight. They're going through it right now from an injury standpoint so we caught them on a night when you know, they they had to play their their guys a lot of minutes and That's never easy but I Just think that we're playing confidently right now We got off to a great start and that that set a really good tone for the game Warriors have picked up steam in this month or even with a leap year day I'm sure they're sad to see February come to an end. They have the third best record this month They are in the top five in net efficiency assists per game and defensive efficiency to left on this road trip They'll be in Toronto Friday and then Sunday in Boston of the third Suns enter the night fifth seed in the West. They were hosting the Rockets Devin Booker One of my very favorite players to watch play the game because it's stuff like this The the ease with which he gets exactly what he wants from wherever he wants 21st quarter points. He was four of four from whoa. Yeah, that's an absolute heat check He outscores the Rockets in the first by himself Suns led 33 17 Jalen green. Give me that Watch out. Oh Yeah, 21 in the first finished with 34 points back to Booker Another triple 26 in the first half Suns led by 11 Now he'll probe the defense and get to his spot 35 and then Great feed and a great cut from Kevin Durant 24 7 and 6 for KD Suns led by 11 heading into the last quarter Booker again and then Booker Cam Whitmore Chit-chat Technicals Everybody's fine, right? Yeah, we're good. All right Suns leading by nine off a Booker miss you set Nurkic and the putback over Shingoon and the Suns up 11 Same story another foul Shingoon doesn't like the call and He's teed up Gets the gate and the Suns win the game by five and in so doing They improved to 35 and 24 this season. They sit in fifth in the loaded Western Conference questions Can they stay there? Phoenix has the toughest schedule remaining in the league by a substantial margin Final 10 games of the season are all against teams who currently have winning records They've won nine in a row at home only ten of the final 23 in the valley Not many teams are on the title or bust list but given their new ownership and the acquisitions they made at Grant and Beal They're not just hoping to win a series or two. Are they I don't think that's what you're trying to do Here's where things stand looking at the back half of the Western Conference Tim Legler with us Every Wednesday also coming up again on Sunday and just talk about the minefield. That is the West. I mean look at the back of it Suns Pelicans Mavericks Kings Five through eight Warriors and Lakers round out the top ten. Let's move to the east Philadelphia Waiting on some good news as the Sixers not surprisingly have been in free fall in the standings all the way down to six since Joel Embiid injured that knee a month ago and Bede spoke with the media Thursday afternoon for the first time since that injury and Was asked if he plans to come back this season As far as getting help and being as close as I'm supposed to be But yeah that's the plan I want to be on the floor as much as possible I only have about 20 years to do this So any chances that I get I want to be on the floor So it doesn't matter where we are 4, 5, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 It doesn't really matter where we are He certainly is more than help. He's pretty much everything With Embiid in the lineup the Sixers winning percentage would be the second highest in the league behind only the Celtics Who got the best record in the game. Without him winning percentage Ranks the sixth worst Let's stay in the east. Magic started the night just a half a game behind the Sixers for that sixth seed Taking on the Utah Jazz in O-Town Paulo Banqueiro Hits the three. One point lead grows to four Collin Sexton. Good ball movement Laurie Markin hits the three and the Jazz Grab a three point lead Banqueiro Working on the youngster that was in Orlando last year at UCF. Taylor Hendricks Jordan Clarkson Taylor finds Luke Shimanich for the dunk. Jazz down two Banqueiro. Bully ball down low. He scored 14 of the game high. 29 in the final frame. Good game going here There's a beautiful feed from Clarkson to a cutting Markin and we're tied at 99 Franz Wagner. Jalen Suggs catches. Fires in rhythm And the Magic with a four point lead late Suggs. Wendell Carter Jr. Back to Suggs. Big hit there. Pushes the lead to four And it's the Suggs three point shooting that carries the day He outscored the Jazz by himself in the final three minutes of the game. Finished with 15. You saw a bunch of the threes there As for the top of the east That's Boston. But team who appears to be righting the ship as we head into March And it is March on the east coast at this point Bucks won the first three meetings against the Hornets by 30 plus And more of the same. Giannis on the dunk. Giannis Someday I'll get used to that not looking like a walk. Guess I'm just elderly. Old I mean it just it's he took three steps That's Dame Lillard with the three pointer I sometimes you get lucky. Giannis just yeah. Assist? If you're in Milwaukee you get the assist. On the road you never know. Giannis in the first half Eight of ten from the floor. 19.7 boards. And it's yet another Buck blowout Giannis. Give me that Malik Beasley out in transition. He had 19 Giannis will pull this time from three. Buries that And so from the jump the Bucks working with a comfortable lead and that Never was stressed. Lillard 17. Bucks don't win by 30 but they win comfortably And after getting off to a sluggish start Under Doc Rivers. They've been rolling. Not surprisingly. They're averaging Excuse me. I should say allowing 97 a game during this four game stretch Which is the best mark in the NBA over that span. That was the issue early on That defense. Things getting a little bit tightened up there
