I am a fan of Golden Hoops.
...allow him to operate at the top, 1-0-1.
Brunson gets it, fires up a three. Shot, no good. The tip, it's gone! It's gone! It's gone!
With 1.2 remaining!
Knicks take the lead!
O.G. Adenobe! And it's 1-0-7, 1-0-6!
And O.G. Adenobe, the inbounder, is going to have a free run at this because there was two...
Shepard James is there to greet him.
Second body, Hachimura, and he turns it over!
Get it ahead for James, slaps it over to Cunard.
Lakers are down by three. For the tie, it's gone!
LeBron James is money!
1-0-1, 1-0-1!
The Lakers create the turnover.
And here's Reed, around the world.
It's not just wild, and we're just living in it!
Here's Randle.
On the move, toss out, Barrett three!
Off the heel!
Because of the turnover by Schroeder, it's a result that you wouldn't think...
Snaps one over to Hunter. Hunter works on Giddey.
Whoa, he decked Giddey!
By DeAndre Hunter, as he buckled Giddey!
And roars of the hole, and the Bulls need a timeout!
Oh, mercy!
Webby's going to pull a deep three.
Oh, goodness!
Oh, those shots!
28-footer, Tyson at 108!
Uh-oh, James, turns the corner.
And throws it ahead!
NBA history back in.
Throw this type of pass with that type of finish.
Those passes, they dunk themselves.
That's up from the other free-throw line.
That deep, on the money.
94-year-old.
Kiminga, long pass, they may have it.
Shot goes in for Jonathan Kiminga.
Jonathan Kiminga, full court.
There he goes, Reeves, to Jones.
Kick it, caught!
And James gave him the basketball!
That overplay!
Took it away!
They want the double-dribble, not called.
Hartenstein!
Right, momentum-wise, that may be the turning point of this game.
He's the one reacting to it.
Luke, this is outstanding.
The lob for Wiggins!
He did it!
They're finished for Miami!
Executed to perfection.
Yeah, gets an uncontested shot here on a mixup.
De'Andre Hunter gets rubbed off by Mitchell.
That is just amazing.
With four-tenths of a second.
The scout says he likes to go right, which he did.
Sharp elevates.
Wow, he turned up the base.
Wow, we've seen him do this a bunch of times.
So, for those of you...
Lakers taking full advantage.
Crazy thing was...
Oh!
No, look, look away!
Take eight to score!
Whoa!
Luke could just showcase that.
If there is one, are you going to be able to rebound?
Get it in.
McCollum, fire!
Hawks take the lead!
109-108.
Timeout, Knicks.
Well, we've seen...
Edwards going to get caught with the fouls.
We watched his highlight.
What a great screen by Murray.
Just put it out there.
It's an easy pass, because you know you don't get it.
Then, Gord said, let me do a little something.
Edwards, one-on-one against Jones.
Got to the paint!
Tied up, that's it!
Knicks!
Knock it away.
A lot of people are not going to know his name.
I've watched a couple of his bucks.
Jones has it.
At the basket!
It's Luka Magic!
The gun!
For three!
Lock and issue, and look at Luka.
Just throw it up, and guess what?
Throw it in.
I guess that's why you are known as one of the best scorers in the league.
What a play.
It's inbound to the open.
14 is our score, Portland by five.
And an OB.
Floats it over to Shaman.
Shaman, a three-pointer.
It's good!
Brunson with Harden on him.

Wenbinyama, the take!
The reverse!

But you want him to take that shot.
As opposed to that shot.
From Minnesota, into the hands of Reeves.
Five seconds.
Three seconds.
Reeves splits the defense.
The floater in the bank.
It's good!
At the buzzer!
Austin Reeves does it again!
Wow!
Yeah, well this is what the action that I thought they'd go to.
You want Gobert to be the guy jumping out?
Look at this handle.

Gets there in time.
And the refs say that's it.
It's over.
Double on Johnson.
Hits it!
Oh!

Wow!
Did you see how high, though, the pass?
Nice steal.
Out front flip.
Spin.
Inside.
Euro step.
He's hit from behind.
He'll shoot.
Two.
Did that one go?
Oh, yes!
They count it!
They count that ball down.
With hopes that it would go down.
It stays suspended on the top of the board for a moment.
You talk about some English.
Three seconds left.
Handle.
Puts it up.
Rejected!
And the buzzer!
And we go to overtime!
What a play by Shen Goon!
His body's got no chance to recover because his legs go up.
As he comes up to bring a ball screen to Fox.
Jones gets knocked to the ground and Fox
hits the floater in the lane, forcing Tai Lu to call for time.
Trying to turn up the pressure defensively.
Keep crossing them.
Thirty seconds left.
Harden dancing on Harris.
Harden step back three.
Splash!
James Harden!
Jones.
Three to shoot.
Kawhi for the win!
The beauty of this play is yes, Kawhi came in big time.
But Derrick Jones Jr. didn't try to be a hero.
He got it across quickly.
Which left some time for Kawhi to do what Kawhi does.
Royce says, well, looks like I'm going to have to take over.
As Nick Richards says, the office is closed.
James Harden with the triple is up to ten points.
Oh!
That didn't take long.

Looking.
No timeouts left.
The pass comes to Bain.
Bain hoisting at the buzzer.
He's absolutely crazy.
How about this?
We know.
Magic fans watching know how Desmond has struggled from the three-point line.
But he's like a 40% career.
Gracious.
And now will shoot two.
Take another look at this great little jab step.
Oh, my gosh.
Like Dominique Wilkins right there.
Going into the side, hanging in the air, plus the contact.

Can't wait more.
The action comes.
Trying to get killed.
It's Alexander Freeze.
Got it.
With four left.

A long kaboom here in Brooklyn for Norman Powell.
At the buzzer.
One-handed.
Extra arc.
Nothing but net.
See.
Swing.
Grimes.
Quick move.
Up and under.
Dr. J-esque.
He rocked the baby to score.
This is totally compromised.

I'm going to pull the trigger before your eyes.
Get back to me.
Nice poke away from behind.
Three on two.
Behind the back.

Watch this right here.
A little misdirection.
Mane three-point basket.
Here it is right here.
Fuji said, put some respect.
Here's Donovan Mitchell.
Across, across.
Shamgon.
That is absurd for Donovan Mitchell.
He's just out here playing 21.
Ebonyama spinning.
Oh, what a pass underneath the champagne.
Now Vassell has to put it up.
And it's a three as the shot clock buzzes out.
The quick reaction of Vassell to get that off.
Just great awareness.
O'Neal looking.
Finds Green.
Gets the shot away at the corner.
Even though they've lost a player, they still look impressive.
Shamgon.
Impressive to tie the game.
You better get outside that circle and foul him hard.
Green ready to see his feet are inside the circle.
Yep.
And that's easy for Shamgon.
Now you've made every highlight.
Troy has only lost two.
Good play by Luca.
Here he goes.

Puts it up.
Puts it in.
Jalen Brunson does it again.
It's a six-point lead with 37 seconds left.
I've run out of adjectives for Jalen Brunson in this situation.
He's able to hold on to it.
And you were late.
Watch this pass by Cora.
But here's what Brunson's been doing all night.
Cutting to the basket.
Stewart had no idea where he was.
He didn't know where that pass was.
It's a single digits.
Here he goes.
Ferocious flush.
Brought this crowd to its feet.
How old is he, Ian?
He wants Trey.
He just threw that with his left hand.
How about that reverse?
What an adjustment on the 360.
Oh, my.
He's got a good smile.
And Jones.
The finish was incredible.
And Jones.
Good defense there by the Clippers.
Jones at it.
Defense is all about effort.
There's Jones Jr. with the tap.
And then the awareness to throw it in.
Left-handed back to Garland.
Harper guarded by Lewis Caruso.
Westby feet him inside.
Threw it down.
With a foul.
Look, he's giving up too much time.
He's been admirable tonight.
But what a pass there by Harper.
But more importantly.
Twice all of last year.
Up they shake.
Pirouettes too strong off the glass.
Rebounds his own miss.
And it leads to the Brandon Caruso.
Record at Eastern Conference right on their heels.

Fox gets into the paint.
Puts up jumper.

The Aaron Fox with a clutch bucket right there.
And it's back to a five-point game.
Timeout.
Alex Cruz is saying what is inside Shea.
He played alongside and won a title with LeBron James.
So, he's seen it up close.

Notice Alexander again at a cold stretch early in the second quarter.
But making everything now.
He saw the shot.
Inside Williams.

Trying to turn the corner.
Steady.
Stop.
Ducks it in.
Keeping the defender close.
And then there's the alley.
And how about the...
Off it comes to Cameron Johnson.
Into the lane.
Spiked out of there by Kamara.
Kamara with a spike out of bounds.
Time for a heave.
Ridges.
He lasered that in with a two-hand chest pass.
And that's going to count.
Just a nonchalant chest pass.
Little shot.
Let's go.
