I am a fan of Golden Hopes.
The >> clock hits 10. Gild Alexand left. Stop on the D. Pull up. Plus 198 point just dancing shooting right over LeBron on the bench is so important for this team. We talked about the turnover.
We talked about the turnovers of the Lakers last last game. He had two heads replacing Dean Wade. We got the spot start for those of you just joining us orig 5 and 1/2 minutes to change that but you are facing mad man and that has won 14 overall 34 shot down the shot. Let's go back to SGA. This is his move. Pull back.
SGA gets free. Neymar guarding him. The drive, the pull back, top of the key.
Jump shot is good.
Just watch with an unbelievable handle.
Absorbs the bump. Doesn't lose his balance.
things already with 17 points in this first quarter.
What is inside Shay? He played alongside and won a title with LeBron James. So he's seen it up close as Shay makes a ridiculous shot.
Alexander again on a cold stretch early in the second season talking about that back and forth. SGA somehow someway on the baseline. Look at this behind the backboard against over this is against a pretty good player.
If you're if you're getting power and you're getting past any Alexander made a little bit of space shot it over heard him say too late taking him toward the baseline but he can stop developing this team SGA st that left hand. He swooped it up and in off the backboard. What a sweep.

Second and he is the second Timberwolve in the double digits.
Shay once again going to work on MCLUFFLIN ON THE STEP BACK and he buries it. Separate from the defense.
>> Alexander trying to get free. Puts on the brakes and hits from mid-range. What a shot by the MVP at least somewhat. Now he stops sometimes by Smith never stole a chance.
Boy, that is just one of the reasons why have a 10point lead.
Now get it to go to penetrate SJ.
He's had a tough year on the line. 63% that's 10 percentage points below his career number when Shay hits the turnaround and 19 on the shot clock.
knows how to get for PJ Washington coming back home which has been a huge difference for him just Alexander side a bit wasn't at the free throw line but this guy is one of the best in the game at just this Washington the Wizards offensive tactic against OKC he's got it going here in the first quarter and he sticks it stop the elbow pulls up in the middle of the floor. Hits again in that point that shot the rebound. He's taken just one shot and Gilas Alexander pulls the string on champ just incredible about their start.
They're 11 and one. Largest differential and one of their key players has not played. Alexander clearly knows his role. Tells me he's not shot blockers Alexander 2 against falling away. Jump shot is good.
I keep talking about this guy is 6'6.
He's wiry strong. Benedict M.
Crossover moves from the crowd. Delta Alexander scoops it in.
A 32-point lead for the defending champs.
Get his hands with his gets the space he want. Step back switch out front Alexander with Murray back in the FADE from the side.
Shot clock at six trying to stay with Alexander doesn't fight but Alexander still knocks down the shot. He loves this spot on the floor. We know that he's going to go to that step back.
Tries it once. M doesn't give it. Two of seven for Grayson Allen.
Quicky for the jumper. SGA 72 played his high school basketball just 10 minutes down the road here in Milwauke.
He is very consistent and he said number two his vision he said he's surgical like when it comes to what he works on said there's a lot of hard workers in the NBA play this killed Alexander wants to dance with Irvvin fade away he's got it bouncing there he is with SGA step back THREE I was going to drive but I knew they were setting multiple bodies I try to create Alexander accelerates toward the basket and around Garland all the way out to guard him. That's where he's able to put it down on the deck and get to the mid range. Oh, bam. Challenge the shot. Foul SGA who converted anyway. I mean that is guarding Shay didn't get the double goes away.
Keep it on the floor. Gilg Alexander MVP down two on opening night. PULL UP SGA TIES THE GAME four that move you see from look at that to his left is why you brought in he somehow was able to spin the freedom goal five contested G sneaks in the front court. Banging down the mid line. Drop steps spin into a fade.
Side step. Shay knocks it down from the baseline is patented. The MVP is off to.
He's always on his own pace and cadence first half with 14 points.
George Alexander in the lane and count the basket.
>> James Harden, he's going to get a body into you. Watch Payton's going to fall down. Alexander against Green. Double being shaded by Portis. SGA wants the one-on-one matchup. And it's a match up he's going to win. What a chance for three. The angles and creativity of the MVP. They went to his own. He waited till Portis left and I'm going to go one hard dribble, one hard up fake shot baseline and he makes it look easy beginning of the season. See if Denver can get the ball out of this guy's hands or he just goes right away from the double and attacks.
MGA stop pump.
Looks like Harley Jr. going to come. He chooses not to. And now you all year.
Another great drive by Gilas Alexander.
And this time the finish Alexander on the drive PULLS BACK BASELINE JUMPER IS GOOD. OKC WITH THEIR FIRST LEAD OF the second half and Shay little push off slips and he steps back into another time zone.
Like Denver had momentum in their hand on their home floor but the shooting from the outside brok continues. Bullseye for SGA.
This right here is just Joe deflected right there by Jones picked up by game this season that Turner has missed in the first for injury. The other was born illness as Gilus Alexander scoops it home. Another Doc Rivers timeout and Mitchell effective. Here's the switch.
SGA has Allen step through two more just I feel like a step BACK DEFENSE SLOW DOWN SHAY getting hot here Alexander crowd anticipating fires and hits. AN INCREDIBLE STREAK PUTS SGA into the record book with each of these priest scores a combined one of 11 from three-point range.

Nine straight points to lead up to eight. So pure and snow Dante Vento is an of 32 just 28% for three for three here in the quarter. Just two made threes in the half. Yas Alexander for the mid-range. He's got 26. Will not go quietly. Eyes light up now with two points.
by Sh. No need to foul him. He's been passing already. He's by Walker with the foul.
CLEANLY drive way off the backboard from Diovante and going to work. the spin move, the left hand, and he spins it home. Every now and then he shows just something and the reigning MVP showing a little a little quickly gets it into the front court trying to get downhill. He'll take a mid-range shot at SGA.
Very comfortable on the offensive end of the no field goals in more than five minutes. Gil Alexander money on the table straight up. boxes. Buddy Hill tries to get out there. SGA says it's too late.
Got another one.

12 doesn't matter. The bank is open. Oh, it's nice defense by Alis Caruso in transition.
Alexander was in and out for Murray. Got to his spot and he checks into the office. That's one of his most prolific spots on the court set on the floor of the half. They have just one turnover as a team in the second half. Gil Alexander with a killer three. It is 115 to 94. They trailed at halftime. Sure. his offense that helps too much. There's so many ways that he bang his right leg. They flatten it out.
Side step three.
SGA on the JR game if you want because they're going to play fast to go to COACH sizing them up back shot Another game of this. There's that double coverage. He goes away from it. Here comes shot selection.

Goes on the back end of the back to back. SJA step back three ON THE WAY AND HE REIGNS IT IN as we saw that highlight as you mentioned pointing TO and he's telling his point guard one of 10 from downtown Jesus Alexander got Alexander might have said good night to the Grizzlies in Georgia. Alexander 10 to shoot one-on-one with Sherman. He drives. He pulls up. Oh yeah.
Make him pass here.
Step back three. Second Alexander guarded by McCollum chisels into the paint.
What did they do? The system hasn't happened yet. I do believe it will happen cuz he's just too good of a player. The ball for SGA.
This dribble is dead. But the way he knocked Christian Brown back overall in the last year VERY important here in game two of the finals of 30 Alexander jumper got it work. Benedict does a great job.
