It was his man that has left him, so that's what you're looking for, is that open man.
Turner's sidestep, bangs in the three!
Miles Turner!
It's a four-point game as we approach the midway point of a four.
It's a six-point game, just under six to play.

That was one of the things I was always taught when I got into this league.

how consistently you do it in the postseason.
You do that a couple of times, and all of a sudden you're named because of the top of the list.

They're going to call a lane violation on the second missed free throw.
Boy, you could go weeks and weeks watching NBA games,
and you won't see a free throw lane violation.
Mark Digno taking a look.
But he does a little something funky with his hand.
Right before, that hand is off the ball as it's still going up.
It just, it looks unique.
And yes, everybody's in the lane.
Because they know he struggles with the free throw line, Mike.
Oh, he's going to get one more.

Got it!

That is just so difficult.

They turn turnovers, great defense, into fast-paced transition opportunities.
And Denshay just finishes off the job.
Nembhard hits the free throw.
13 points, four-point game.

take center stage.
