[00:10:05]Horns out of the corner.

[00:10:08]>> Good rebound. Pressure inside. Hog has it back.

[00:10:14]Wallace. Tough shot from Leaf. Fred sees Chet and off and gets him going. The bump would have been this OKC team. They're unbearable to watch. The flopping, the foiling. I love everything about SG. I know it'll be sense more than anybody else in this postseason with the likes of James Harden who's developing. Part of the joy of watching, loving and talking about basketball holding one of a postseason rivalry with these two trying to get on the board here in the second. Harrison Barnes is fouled I believe on the floor. Carter Stein keeping an eye on WBY patrolling that free throw circle area. 14 foul Oklahoma City. None on the Spurs. Facel can three behind 15 to nothing at the start of this one. Isaiah Joe in for the thunder.

[00:12:01]Fountain spur >> and they may take a look at this. Coach Dagnald is asking if >> he's kept playing Isaiah Jones knocks down three and the Thunder have a five-point lead. Their biggest of the night on this >> because it allows separation for his guard to get the shot.

[00:12:20]The cell off again on the bench.

[00:12:24]They fell down 15 nothing. Their MVP MVP of the league has only five points and they're up five on the road. Six point advantage in the first two games off the bench for Oklahoma City. Moving screen on McCain and what a stops on the attack. Lost it down with Hartstein digging in Wallace. We have a jump ball.

[00:13:40]>> The players often I saw him in practice facility today. It's so great to see Pop and what he continues to mean to all of these Spurs, including Mitch Johnson.

[00:13:49]They let 150 to start this one trying to get going in quarter two. Trying the contact and the foul on Martin as he sold >> just talk. We got to do it.

[00:14:02]>> 33y old 15 >> club this time of year, right? Those guys don't get a lot of play. This box doesn't get a lot of >> playoff game so far. Final two minutes.

[00:14:11]SGA Penny grants in his right ankle as Kil just Alexander over now the physical weapon trying to keep him away.

[00:14:22]Good recovery by Vel trying for George three has been off this series.

[00:14:29]>> Bad foul with the foul.

[00:14:31]>> Bad foul though.

[00:14:32]>> Players Robinson and Duncan were the most coachable and that let you coach everybody hard.

[00:15:35]Dort the came from the moment Alexander steps back over. He outstripped Vel and the rebound from the left going right trying to get back to his left hand and threw himself out of the rhythm. SGA over Vel and Web Minab in the corner. Great to get over the castle and the Spurs lost their pace, Mike. They've lost their pace. They're better when they can score early in the first part of the shot clock.

[00:16:01]>> Bell on the Sean Sweeney handles the defense on Mitch Johnson's staff. Two very good staff, so many good assistant coach lineup here.

[00:16:13]Caruso in he got the clean catch secondary turned away by the presence of but Caruso in the corner again.

[00:16:25]>> How can you shoot >> and look all world from three here in the conference final fouls DeFon Castle.

[00:18:15]>> Ashley, for those of us who love him in our meeting tonight, >> Alexander turns the corner. Saw four of the five Spurs on that possession still.

[00:18:25]>> The reason it happened is the second defender wasn't up to touch. So it gave SGA a chance to attack the basket around the corner.

[00:18:31]>> Hassle right at him. He'll earn more free throws. Alexander the second.

[00:18:36]>> Defense is collapsing. Jer McCain's going to be wide open for a three.

[00:18:41]Series leading two nothing. Richard Jefferson, Tim Leard, our friend Mr. Breen a happy birthday. Do you think RJC tomorrow night 8 Eastern time?
