the Sixers hi Rhoda Hill vain jokes the
campy botamo upfront Adlai person's
Aaron McKie of the back porch bull acres
with a usual starting five response
Horace Grant Shaquille O'Neal on the
front line Kobe Bryant Derek Fisher to
this game the neighbor in Game one
[Applause]
Kobe Bryant Mars grant with Tyrone Hill
right up bottom Derek Fisher at
difficulty locating shots the other by
tears
try to go glass from deep seventy sixers
hope to prevent Shaq from setting up in
that position
Ivarsson
[Applause]
but when you struggle like Derek Fisher
did in Game one
get something easy and he's leaped out
on the fence break after the long jumper
got a hit in Iverson's face no one
covered back here he goes strong to the
basket gets the foul on McKee more
importantly a couple free throws now I'm
Laura you got a chance to walk up there
quickly see that ball go in the basket
start that feeling once again that you
had against San Antonio Fisher did not
go to the line at all the other night
Jackson was telling us yesterday that he
felt the Lakers had a conditioning
problem in Game one he said even Shaq
kedem had a problem with energy said
Derek Fisher looked a step slow on
Iverson in Game one that's why for a
spell
[Music]
[Applause]
they're efficient just closes right
you see the being thrown that you're not
allowed to create space with that
off-farm so Darin Fisher off to a good
start couple free thoughts a nice two
vintage possession he's got to be
feeling much better far
[Applause]
fifty-two minutes in Game one but just
seven for 22 15 points that he turned it
over six times
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
Kobi is so vital to this team when he
hits this outside jump shot you gotta
close on him then he can beat you with
the penetration the other night he could
not hit the jumper so they were able to
get a hand in his face
mark interesting ly enough heaps of 22
shots the other night shot only one free
throw that was the technical on Phil
Jackson so they did a great job
McKee and Iverson committed one foul the
entire game in 102 minutes tonight they
already have two
[Applause]
five to seven o'clock every call he
missed two important free-throws and as
it turned out his teammates were able to
bail him out no one's talking about
those foul shots at the time these
Sixers of hit 90
[Applause]
and the Lakers got lead 62
[Applause]
Jones coming into the ball
[Applause]
wait by Jones
[Applause]
open shot for Gregg
[Applause]
kids exits
looks like his foots okay right now
Marvin did not see any ill effects then
we'll have to see as he gets tired what
will happen earlier looked like he did
not want to pivot when he had a shot
opportunity gave the ball up jack had it
knocked away but able to regain
possession
[Applause]
Kristen goes to the basket it takes the
shot all eyes go to him in the Sixers a
dream
get an offensive rebound then it's a
real key for them game tied at six
cause the foul
on Tyrone Hill there's the play right
there that Allen Iverson looked like he
could have picked up his second foul he
didn't and then Aaron McKie took
advantage of it as he drove the ball to
the basket and got the layup so that's a
critical non call and then Allen Iverson
no mark sometimes you're gonna laugh but
I think sometimes these are almost like
two sis he brings so many people to him
that a bill go to the offensive board
but illness like he's passing to them on
their missed shot so he'll take 30 shots
maybe missed 20 of them but his team can
rebound seven eight nine of those then
it's almost like an assist goes either
to get to the free throw line or like
that lay the ball back in the basket I
would never left those éxito humor
Lakers in and the Sixers sex we played
three minutes those opening quarters
[Applause]
first you're going chefs to Chester
Vinson was able to buy
for hero's power
[Applause]
now the king setting the offense
[Applause]
with the medium range jumper now we saw
that from Matt Geiger the other night he
hit five jumpers you do not expect that
from dick impacts good also by chose to
get back and here comes the king
[Applause]
we have seen on a number of occasions
these freaks do not matter when they
talk about out on Irish well he's gonna
take 35 shots so he will not stop
shooting and he loves keeps shooting
because his teammates expect those shots
[Applause]
the Lakers up by 2
the QuickStart for the Lakers in Game
one when they let by to the first half
Fisher called for the foul we're off and
running eighteen to five at one point
Larry Brown said he was very happy when
the first quarter score was 23 22 right
at the end of the quarter well this is
the campaign what he wants him to do is
force Shaquille to shoot that little
jump shot no dunks no layups we saw in
the third quarter of the night he had 18
in March seventh of it field goals were
right in the lane in the basket area
by derek Fisher's defensively
looks like what the Lakers are doing
defensively it's any penetration they're
running horse ran over as a shot blocker
and keeping Shaq back there to be the
rebounder if Shaq both the block the
shots they'll get hurt on the offensive
board so let's keep watching at mark
info Jackson made the point to Derek
Fisher that's last touched by the Sixers
as he did to us I think you were step
slow the other day you know what Derek
Fisher has such personal pride he got up
early the day after the game shot for an
hour before his teammates got to the gym
he was here tonight early shooting
got some early results for it
Fox
[Applause]
paulus cause Steve javi
[Applause]
what Shaquille O'Neal vania to Rick Fox
I think Fox gets a feeling of what it's
like to play against Shaq but what to me
he starts to go up he does work Hawks
him back wonder what in the world hit me
[Applause]
game tied at checkers Fox
[Applause]
to see downtown that is when the Sixers
can really strikes they will get you in
the open court and run and it
Lakers tickets in their shooters this is
my feed the planet apart I didn't see it
all right now now if I see it it goes
like that I'm gonna pull it on it
alright I can't see everything Alan
great energy but he understands the
importance of keeping his patience and
composure he talked to Steve Jaffe now
I've got to get back to playing which he
normally does
the 76ers with a 13
to take the lead
[Applause]
last touch by Philadelphia 11 on the
shot clock
for Los Angeles
[Music]
both teams remaining the same following
the timeout
he draws the double so it frees up
[Applause]
but here's what happens he goes into
pose they're sending them Tyrone Hill
down to double-team here he comes so
nobody you got Horace Grant diving here
Coates Mutombo to block the shot but
when he leaves Shaquille O'Neal there is
nobody to block him out so Marvin
double-team creates a chain reaction the
tumble has to go over now this man is on
the board by himself let's see what his
free throw looks like this evening
and look at the risk of the club overall
the Lakers 15 for 27 the 12 misses all
by Shaq and for the first time in many
weeks
Shaq's worked at the foul line is
significant and he is back into the
the citizen will they phoned everybody
house in the playoff somebody that
didn't even become a factor well it did
the other night
[Applause]
[Music]
again the second shot to the Sixers this
is what they do so well because normally
they don't shoot a high percentage
the Kimbe just bangs that ball up the
back of the round
[Applause]
[Music]
to set up the short jumper six points
for Kobe the Lakers only four for 13
from the field
the staff Sixers want a flagrant
the officials discussing it Ronnie now
XD javi burn a fire
well the Sixers can ill-afford another
injury dribble penetration here comes
Shaq Horace Grant comes over takes the
hard foul and that the referees talk it
over we'll have to figure out whether or
not it's a flagrant but when you get
inside again here comes the defense slow
on the reaction is Rick Fox it's only
going to be a two-shot foul not a
flagrant one problem there is to give a
rubbing that bright shoulder we'll have
to watch that if the game goes mark this
has been a team that has been hard hit
by injuries that can be the tempo
playing with that broken left pinky the
injury suffered of the series against
Toronto was called on plan
Kathy
after himself
free-throw shooter and that is three for
three here in the first quarter at the
line for the Jumbo that's a look before
tonight's game don't keep our paradox a
matter I would write say that looked
like you before the Telecaster seen me
to it
now a change on that De Falco Rick Fox
rather than
Horace Grant
the public addresses
[Applause]
and the Sixers now lead 1512 right if
you're a sixer fan right now you have to
be very happy they have come out and
they are playing once again as underdogs
that pageant we talked about will they
be able to sustain it for 48 minutes
though they play well bye
the touch from downtown it was 15 of 20
from three-point land of the series
against San Antonio the 15 freeze a
record NBA record
[Applause]
response
[Applause]
got hit on the head
[Applause]
he's shaken up again and the indicating
to the bench that he's alright
[Applause]
you have really been working on your
tutorial on the day off every two
sectors buy one simply at allen iverson
for the second field go down to four
seven is 4 points Philadelphia with a
17-14 advantage Eric snow has checked in
for the first time as has Bryan Shaw
[Applause]
yes picture
it
no more about that I think with Larry
Brown some dead time I just put a
comment team down there yeah but
scattered on the break made a couple
turnovers they come out of the timeout
get a nice jump shot
[Applause]
something sir weed
[Applause]
on Wednesday night
about what
[Applause]
several witnesses Shack is able to get
down
[Applause]
sir
anytime you have a block then what you
get is a fast break it's copy coming
down too far pulling up and hitting the
jump shot and then another next time
down the floor I stop once again look
out deep the post position you cannot
stop Shaq when you get to that deep so
right now the Lakers combo that one-two
punch really starting to get back and
seek after that lay electing a second
foul is replaced by Matt Geiger who
played 14 minutes in Game one
five four seven from the field ten
points he did fall out Matt Geiger who
has certainly heard the criticism
concerning injuries during the course of
this season from the proudest hits the
free-throw
Tigers seven coming back from a tear
right quadricep
[Applause]
one of the double dribble Club
[Music]
[Applause]
over the fowl well as the Sixers have
done to their bench Matt Geiger is in
now the other night we know that he
really struggled trying to play against
Shaq check at 18 points in the third
quarter a lot of them when Mutombo went
out with South Park the other night in
the game Mutombo when he was in the game
they were a plus 14 when he was out they
were a minus eight when he sits down
their defense really gets hurt so what
does Matt Geiger have to do he's got to
make some of those jump shots to at
least try to counteract Shaq somewhat
who's going to try to post him up every
time he gets a chance for Tyrone Hill
you can log on to NBC sports.com as

[Applause]
using the pen
we gotta barbacoa
[Applause]
gee
[Applause]
the Lakers are winning this game it
looks like they're dominating inside one
of the scoreboard the Sixers are up one
they're really an amazing team are they
just keep hanging in there and competing
against it's not always pretty but it is
effective they do not go away as the
Milwaukee Bucks can attest you
grant
[Applause]
more impressive than any 76 here victory
was gone when they gave 30 freedom hug
in and cut the deficit to Jenna
this guy fourth-period allen iverson who
had 26 points he said that was one of
the reasons whatever enable to win game
7 he got into a rhythm ended up getting
44 in that game at 70 in a 5 quarter
period of time so we know he's capable
of striking and striking quickly mark
he'll go through stretches where he
might not score for 9 minutes
20 points in a quarter because he's
going to be relentless fearless and he's
going to keep coming at you one of the
76er heroes from Gabe want Roger Bell
has checked in for the first time a shot
getting arrested over time they were
dead in the water down five shot clock
winding down no way to score and he
weaves and personal from the crowd the
mark just to finish that up Raja Bell
hits that big shot makes it three and
fishers emotionally in this game
got into a rhythm after being
spectacular against the Spurs they
really need him he's that third guy they
need on the floor to be this cool
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
now last touch by Robin
Jackson has a front line of grant Lori
and blunt at the small forward for
everywhere allen iverson goes he draws
two or three guys referees rule the ball
was tipped six years of the game
possession
[Applause]
Manning and the first Lakers in position
they lead by water
rats setting the screen
beautifully between Horace Grant then
Kobe Bryant I'm McCullough the son had
the foot speed to be able to show and
get back on that play
that's what I thought they would do more
of tonight's green roads by the stretch
that sixer defense
yes
[Applause]
five of seven in Game one hits on his
first field goal attempt and the Lakers
are up 23 22
I've been played by barrel
[Applause]
points in this first quarter for Kobe
Bryant
Kobe normally does his gameday
interviews with s heart tonight he
declined he had that game face on early
and he is coming out and has been
brilliant here to start this game
tonight
on Raw Lakers had a mile together this
is the screen I watched McCullough he's
going from out here here comes Kobe and
on the roll you've got to have somebody
step and look where Matt Geiger is he's
definitely the guy to get there he is
slow getting there because he's
concerned about Robert Horry shooting
the basket next time Kobe comes down
he's in that rhythm nahi given distance
with that little jab step pulls up and
shoots that jump shot so as expected Jim
great talked about it to start the game
they're going to go to Kobe early and
he's delivered
Rodney Villefort who did not play at all
in game waters
[Applause]
the Sixers hope for a final shot
[Applause]
second for the clock and the shot clock
one on the 24 McKey yes Aaron McKie with
three and four ten seconds to go in the
quarter
[Applause]
for from the field in the first quarter
25
and a foul
[Applause]
just checked in well it's lewd now
trying to shadow iris of like he did in
Game one allen iverson said he was
holding me in Game one all that time he
was hoping committee gets called
[Applause]
it's a sign of rust or when your
conditioning is down you turn the
basketball over game on the Lakers
turned over 19 times tonight only one
they're sharper you can see it 76ers
defense is still the safe Lakers offense
is much crisper right now they're taking
care of the basketball
Todd McCullough picks up his second foul
to camp a matumbo sitting down after
collecting his second late of the first
quarter
patched together
so Shack three or four from the field he
has seven and the Lakers
party make a great point how much time
can Mary Brown from the top of hopes can
they stay
[Applause]
[Music]
water
[Applause]
for that lob Bryant
[Applause]
when you take
the 76ers are going to run back after
Kobe took a difficult shot Phil Jackson
not happy with that and the City right
back down the floor and laying the ball
in the basket that's how winning this
game
Tom McCullar 7-footer with excellent
hands
second round draft pick last year
[Applause]
I ever said with a behind-the-back
he has nine points and uses getting into
it he put on somebody booze there Brian
Shaw could even react
[Applause]
sucks without late 32:29
McCullough doesn't have the foot speed
to stay with or he's been beat our
offensive rebound in a cutlery browse
would have to keep his eye on that
matchup
[Applause]
all the offensive glass
mug shot
[Applause]
not repel device defensive job the upper
hi
to be fast to run on a fast break that's
two calico you just have to want to be
[Music]
the Lakers see everything all right hey
we're gonna tell
I'm telling if I see something to fail
I'm gonna blow the whistle all right I'm
just trying to say stay in your game
I'll stay in mine let's go I'm trying to
be in the mind to I want to try to make
every call right I'm not going to be
right on forth you 100% of the time you
got such aggression 'el explanation from
the officials don't gather what you can
see is there Fisher's using the one hand
and trying to get it in Iverson's face
to disrupt his vision Iverson taking
right I've been hit three times now
please watch it
was all over in the series of crossovers
setting up the shot for Iverson who now
has 11 and the Sixers lead by
offensive foul rick fox pushing out
picks up his third
larry brown loves the planet in front of
the coats with his defense but i person
on this play that little pullback he
takes the ball between his legs to
create distance and he's hit two very
difficult shots in a row starting to get
that look on his face of why he was the
MVP this guy has got so much energy
Kobe Bryant
[Applause]
returned home for three from the field
in the second quarter
[Music]
[Applause]
Thapa coma
has emerged as a presence for the Sixers
here and the second quarter as Matt
Geiger we talked about the bench scoring
it was 29 to 15 in Game one plus 14 for
the 76ers you can already see what Todd
McCullough has done in a 7 minute period
of time he has 14 40s more importantly
the better he and Geiger play it allows
to give a matumbo to stay over on that
bitch with only two fouls so this is
critical time that the Sixers are
getting this kind of production from
their bench players
just a 64% free-throw shooter during the
regular season let's check in with Louis
Johnson Louis all right Marv thanks you
don't we documented error McKee's chip
fracture in his ankle but during the
last time out he had a heating pad on
his left quadricep I've been told by the
trainer's
at halftime follow-up
Marlys the key remaining on the floor
Kevin ollie has checked in for the first
time of the sex respect a kid with jim
cramer reporter places all right you're
exactly right that's a phil jackson told
Kobe Bryant he said I know you're
playing hard Kobe but you got to wait
for the rest of the guys you can't play
offensively with everybody behind you
then he told the entire team hey guys
don't look at the scoreboard relax let
the game come to you quit chasing it 5
for 12 from the field brother Sean just
picked up his second foul like this for
the third team foul I think what the
Sixers are hoping to do is just stay in
touch here with the Lakers just just
keep it close and see if that energy
that emotion will come to diffract late
in the game knowing this is a must-win
game for them
[Applause]
keep playing with that chip fracture in
his right ankle
[Applause]
well Robert always trying to make up for
that offensive foul he got an overtime
very costly for his team they were up
five had to follow them over two minutes
to go Vincent that was team that
outscored 13 to 2 from that point and
they lost bad play by Orion really cost
his team the other night
[Applause]
seven points
Setzer's up by seven six Geiger
[Music]
the 76ers Fleury terrific offensive
rebounding team the ball goes inside
Hawley takes a tough shot there is good
here with one tip slightly off the rim
McCulloch tip McCullough tips the ball
in so Todd MacCulloch getting arrest as
his Geiger and these guys did a
tremendous job they have gone in and the
Sixers now lead by seven with the Tumbo
sitting on the bench with fouls Marv
Hill the temple has the key personals
[Applause]
the Curacao top and gay brought on on
foot box
[Applause]
[Music]
as we come out of the Pope's but I think
in that triangle
familiar where the double-teams are
coming
[Applause]
so chose
[Applause]
that's a great place
defense over when he saw him a tumble he
knew his partners
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
sapphire O'Neal keeping him
great defensive secrets
Lakers scream denies hand in the face
more importantly that big defensive
rebounders never found
[Music]
[Applause]
sure
Ivarsson is fine
[Music]
now this is the patience that Phil
Jackson wants from Kobe Bryant survey
the floor penetrate find Shaq and that
is a very very high percentage shot we
can probe the defense bring it to you
the hand you hear now is for Ron Harper
coming in for
looks like Tehran Lu's going to get a
break Harper has been really sideline
almost the entire playoffs with a knee
injury McGill wants him to come in and
just sort of stabilize his team for a
few minutes to not play at all in game
[Applause]
proper place Oh Larry
probably knows
Los Angeles Clippers
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
those tracks are looking for a study
the pork offer coming back from the
arthroscopic knee surgery we've already
seen Fischer on Iverson
on Iverson now Kobe three different
looks now Kobe is bigger he can get up
and what he's gonna do is try to bother
him from behind he looks to take the
shot run him into the double-team and
get a lot of help remember now two years
ago Kobe held him scoreless in the
second half a game in Philadelphia that
the Lakers won on the road
now the Sixers women 4359 Philadelphia
now for seven from beyond the
three-point
[Applause]
both of these teams to get some
offensive rebounding teams Kobe gets an
offensive rebounders for we've seen Shaq
at a couple
[Applause]
let's
[Applause]
three second
[Applause]
what kind of poise and patience now will
the Sixers have as we start to make this
little run to the halftime we see Larry
Brown talking to his team calling out a
set play 3:11 here to go Marv they're up
to critical time as the Lakers are
trying to make a surge you're going to
have
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
the temple party was fun
[Applause]
oh snap
[Applause]
hook shot
[Applause]
the light cannot come from behind
[Applause]
gifts
[Applause]
well in the first half
like this
[Applause]
the way
[Applause]
seventy-six is recalled on the colonel
there extol looked over at the official
said it went off Kobe's foot that's not
what with golf for the Lakers will have
the basketball of minutes ago and we
just sits the urgency now in the Lakers
has realized these Sixers are not going
to go away and Phil Jackson staying with
the veteran rod Harper
[Applause]
microscopic surgery
on his left famous the final 44 games
regular season and soul
[Applause]
the 76ers have gotta get back the Lakers
are releasing on the jump shooter
[Applause]
well terrific first half of basketball
coming off the improbable overtime win
in Game one by the Sixers Matt Geiger
able to cap it off as this first half
came to a conclusion on the Lakers lead
49:47 let's throw it over to Jim Granger
all right thank you very much Marv 16
points with Kobe Bryant in the first
half Kobe you guys have not been in a
must-win situation in an awful long time
are you guys sensing the urgency good
good your mungus challenge they're so
competitive Phil Jackson said during one
of the timeouts you guys are not
relaxing you're chasing the game is he
right well I think there was a search
there were we're overly aggressive
I think our motions got the best of us
but we're able to settle back in the
game and start executing our office
[Applause]
two points now for Iverson
he is a guy who can erupt at any time
I think the key there he is he attempted
no free throws in that first half so the
Lakers did not foul him on any two tough
shots that he took
[Applause]
Fyers grant has been struggling
for sex from the field
[Applause]
when you look at that first half the
Lakers were in the lead I think one of
the reasons they then in fact Rick
points 13 to 5 that was not the case in
Game one so the Lakers are doing a good
job running off the six or missus
transition defense must be better by the
Sixers
my personal GG just set it up from a
jump our land
it's like you think you've got him
blocked off there's no place for him to
go then he sort of slinks along that
baseline gets into traffic and fines but
uncle got to the line in that first half
are four times the rest of the team only
twice that is a real key stat when the
76ers make 20-plus free throw they're
tough to beat they made 23
injury report concerning the
Philadelphia 76ers and it concerns
matumbo who sometime in the first half
suffered a gash of cut in his tongue got
told that the trainer's tried to give
with the halftime but he refused
[Applause]
brant ties it at 51 at the can't be
playing with that broken left pinky the
the injury sustained in the series
against the Raptors
Ivarsson over to the my court a couple
of dry
[Applause]
[Music]
the fire
that's exactly what happens with these
76ers miss a jump shot they can't give
their defense back down the floor really
looking to attack PJ Carlesimo talked
about it at half time when the 76ers are
scoring they can get their defense set
when they're not shooting the ball well
the Lakers are attacking them 13
fast-break points in the first half you
see it once again right here looking to
get out on that break for number 17 for
Kobe Bryant
let's go over to Jim Gray yep all right
thanks Marv during halftime Phil Jackson
told his team I want to stay positive
guys about the only thing I can say is
we won both quarters by one point slow
down don't be so frenetic fast
responsive out he said part of the
reason we're so frenetic we haven't had
to win a game in a must-win situation
since last year's finals against Indiana
that's part of the problem
[Applause]
scenario one
a team that had one night scene at the
last eighth of the regular season that
11 of 11 first three rounds of the
playoffs last touched by the Lakers and
swept by Portland three sacramental at
for San Antonio in four before losing to
the 76ers on on Wednesday night
[Music]
[Applause]
challenging either
and releasing and
cannot be happy about that the guards
must protect the backcourt
Lakers lead
[Applause]
drop revive Dikembe Mutombo well just to
follow up on the thought there by Rick
Fox when he talked about the sense of
urgency here and the pressure on the
Lakers
the longer the Sixers stick around the
more pressure goes on the Lakers to win
this game they have to win this game
bring batter by head
[Applause]
the Laker team that has had a forum bit
sakru
[Applause]
flecked it out
[Applause]
the last logs by the Lakers back on the
1st of April losing to the mix here and
allied
Oh
this before game one that had not played
since we made the 27 Phil Jackson
no question the way off get her the
Lakers in Game one of the the Sixers to
the magnificent
[Music]
that's too long Garrett searcher
[Applause]
see Derek Fisher really getting up and
shadowing Iverson forcing him to try to
put this ball on the floor does that
quick first step you reach out and get
him with a hand that's the foul
[Applause]
the whole thing with allen iverson
you've just got to make him work you
gotta try to frustrate him and Eric
Richards done a pretty good job of that
now remember Marv in the first half he
complained to Steve Jabby that three
times he got hit in the face by
fisheries he's trying to close out on
him on those drives
[Applause]
[Music]
have to be very
2,000 Lakers making a little bit of a
push
[Applause]
something they have not done much up
tonight after nineteen turnovers in Game
one only for the entire first half the
Sixers had only seven points in the
first half top turnovers but Kobe Bryant
when he elevates that is a very
difficult shot to defend and Kofi right
now is being very comfortable a nice
read and shooting that jump shot
we drive bouncing back
coming off the seven of 20 June

rebound

blocked he gets it back goes right back
at the basket misses another jump shot
and said you know what I'm not quitting

more time he scores
then Ireson comes right back the Sixers
when they get on that fast break Iverson
you just can't keep him from getting to
the basket you've got to be able to get
back with two or three guys so a
six-point lead goes down to two that

[Applause]
the job and the first half you could see
what Larry Brown has done Tyrone Hill
has struggled and he has not been any
kind of offensive force for them it's
ready for the
any kind of penetration he's run out on
the fastbreak so Larry Brown said look
gifted Lakers are going to get out and
scramble defensively I'm gonna put
another offensive threat on the
Lord and McCullough has been that guy
tonight
as check it out of iverson will get a
very green
[Applause]

early April he was in San Antonio and
Atlantis training camp past his place of
CBA
Sioux Falls in the CBA

well it all started in that blowout in
game 6 at Milwaukee playground give him
another chance as Kobe works against him
the nice T chance to Forks exactly but

I've got a couple shots blocked he
drives the post jack goes up strong and
then gets the rebound right back once
again
other than so many instances in this
game
and the 76ers hang right in Welsh at
Fox's previous shot and Kobe runs out
and he gets the fast-break something the
Lakers have done very well tonight and
because I'm not going to give up on the
play come right back to me he almost
gets a piece of that one but the second
effort in Todd McCullough has played so
well tonight
Mary Brown is gone doom with heavy
minutes and Tyrone Hill is sitting on
the bench right now so Shaq won for his
previous six able to hit at the line

[Applause]
the last possession Shack step to the
line it makes a couple free throws which
could really be important later on Bobby
I'll tell you why is because if this
game stays closed because he missed 12
free throws in game
free-throw shooting could become the
major contributing factor at the end of
this game as the Lakers try to close
this out so he shoots these free throws
at this point in the game it might not
look like much but it could lead to a
whole lot later on
about three four nine
and you see the last 17 attempts of
4:17
[Applause]
foxi have first half of the season and
some extra work he didn't hook it up in
the second half

[Applause]
the Lakers have a foul to give here
we'll see if I person penetrates if
they're taken just
final seconds Phil Jackson is trying to
pass that information on
[Applause]
period McMurray up said he felt like
dead he was hit on the elbow right there
you see pitchers hand right there hit
him on the elbow that will take a shot
and throw it completely off is that
little touch you get right here take a
look right there that little contact
your shooter is deadly and Iverson very
very upset he's taken 22 shots a 92
thought got to the free-throw what
shot nine free-throws in Game one so he
lets his emotion out there at Steve
Jabby who gave him a technical and then
Jack was upset on the previous
possession on the offensive rebound when
they had that little scrum in the lane
felt like he was fouled and he gets a
technical offsetting technical no free
throws will be shot and it'll be Laker
basketball but the important thing that
technical foul right there for the 16
6-1
seconds the game was tied at 61 late
it's underway right at the start of the
quarter obviously
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
that touch pass in the lane just dropped
it right - in front and rip tremendous
past eight eight blocks 24 and 17
[Applause]
that we saw against the Spurs the Kings
and the Blazers
look at that touch pass just away from
the defense
look at this just sort of rolls that
unlike looks like our Venus sabonis in
that little pass there that he drops up
[Applause]
Iverson with the steel playable
reflected all 40
[Applause]
Allen Iverson

start of this fort
[Applause]
as Iverson
[Applause]
and watcher girl
tell you that the Derek Fisher had taken
the challenge tonight the burning Allen
Iverson he is Jimmy's got his hand in
his face he's challenging
Ivarsson thousand
Robbi known as indicating a file
[Music]
remember now Iverson is not going to
stop attacking the basket even though
he's been frustrated not getting to the
free-throw line
he's gonna throw his body in there and
force the
to continue to salt the basket and hope
he can get some foul balls steps up and
this is his first foot but you can see
it's been a tough night for Iverson 23
fuel Bella Jeff
fifteen
we're four terms of the game
[Applause]
a minute and a half gone by
in the fourth quarter
O'Neil
[Applause]
one of the things that linkers do not
want to do is get the Sixers in the
penalty early because the Sixers den can
get to the free-throw line and get their
defense set up to where they can defend
a little bit better mark right now
they're struggling to score from the
field and as a result they're deep dense
and struggling to stop the Lakers
[Applause]
now let's see 6 feet 170 pounds
[Applause]
Worcester at 6-foot
so the Lakers not lead by 10
Fox 4e and O'Neill appliance in Fisher
and the guards
[Music]
[Applause]
you know the fixers are not going to go
away and Phil Jackson knows that and so
do the Lakers is what making them to be
able to do right now it's give back and
keep the Sixers online the Sixers are
going to try to run an attack on every
possession together five Foxx
the line for the first
following to give my most of these NBC
stations it's your local news and then
Bay tonight Charlotte
like to continue with the NBA
CNBC immediately
again our tire crews recount the game
highlights drive press conference
interviews
as we take a look back at tonight
[Music]
after our telecast concluded
[Applause]
[Music]
you knew Kobe was going to bounce back
to the Sun after Game one seven for
twenty to six
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
the Houston Rockets block shots were not
compiled
73-74 season
[Applause]
[Music]
successfully if the Lakers go on to win
this game down but is the first period
it was so critical to get Kobe back on
track in struggles so finally in that
first game he was rusty his timing was
off 7 for 22 he had six turnovers I'm
sure he went home watched tape where
could he attack tonight he got off to a
great start and he's been the attack
mode ever since Kobe 11 of 22 29
[Applause]
he hit watch just moments ago
that was last touch
machetes telling Brian shots are walking
down the floor hey Ryan you're white up
and take the shot I gave you a wide open
three ballon to take it but there's
puppies quick start the talk about first
period 12 points and he's not look back
the entire evening
[Applause]
team fouls one away from the penalty
[Applause]
from the crowd 11 points and he went
chest to chest with Iverson and you know
what blue is in there for to try to keep
the ball
[Applause]
you're gonna come off the bitch you
better get to me quickly and once again
it's back to a nine-point
that's why here
[Applause]
they're attacking the printer tonight
doing it with the pass drawing in hit
don't be attacking
[Applause]
when they tried to dribble too much
[Applause]
Los Angeles
[Applause]
larger bail
there's an old expression in basketball
don't fight pressure with pressure move
the basketball and then attack ahead and
that's what the Lakers had done in Game
one Kobe dribbled so much in the
backcourt that he got himself out of
sync he got his team out of sync tonight
that has not been the case and if Sixers
are not shooting it
[Applause]
cereza fruits
[Applause]
you go ahead and describe this twist
witness go
Roger bell went for the second book
Kobe's on his fourth already and he
fades away look at this could we got
that little shake going fades what you
don't want to live your Roger bell just
reach in to get that little touch value
get a guy shoot that daddy shop you make
you go right back
so I respect that
Mobe has 30
seven of seven at the line
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
there's virtue
[Applause]
14 turnovers
and a foul call
[Applause]
Phil Jackson kept shakeela on the floor
after he picked up his fourth and now he
will set off this because Kobe tried to
make a pass that wasn't there you see
the reacts and he's unhappy with himself
if you don't have a clean play pull that
thing back out and use clock Barnes or
6:38 to go through up 13 you don't need
to take any chances right now both
chambers are
[Applause]
[Music]
six is now 10 4:15
at the foul line remember a game 19 of
that metropolis too
Rick Fox's back powers grant has checked
in so he will be the center
with Fox breath and
[Applause]
in the fourth quarter the Lakers hoping
to tie the series at one
[Applause]
Oh
that's a good pot let me dip that left
shoulder to create space now Phil
Jackson doesn't like it but you're not
allowed to create space with your
shoulder or your off arm now watch
Kobe's he gets his shoulder and there's
the little foot to create the space
that's a good
Wow
[Music]
[Applause]
well Eric snow will shoot too well since
it's gonna start thinking somebody's
freed those if they're gonna get back in
the game we haven't seen Roger pelvis
I think he's missed four we've seen I
ever seen this a couple you're going to
get back in the game you're gonna have
to play six perfect minutes here down to
30
[Music]
the Jacobi
so aggressive where you start making
careless planes Kobe's made a turnover
an offensive foul enough out there to
just trying to calm it down
[Applause]
now the Sixers now 12 of 18
by 11
[Applause]
and since back in 1974 Roger Pelham
five of the line since 74 that's when
they first began to keep the
quadruple-double staff they have an only
food
for the regular season and playoffs
Hakeem Olajuwon David Robinson Nick
Fuhrman and Alvin Roberts model of the
only four who have ever come up since
seventy field
[Applause]
off a pleasure
[Applause]
tomorrow talking about turnovers okay
the Lakers only had four at halftime
they now have 14 six are let me here in
the fourth quarter so they are allowing
the 76ers to stay around and trying to
cut into this lead they've got an
impatient they've got anxious and
they're taking chances they don't
[Music]
but he did not set himself up for a
possibility but he
[Applause]
still much time 5:22 and as the Lakers
have well aware the 76ers a resilient
team Jackson
[Applause]

[Applause]
sex this what we saw the other night
anytime they score look they're up the
board defensively now the Lakers have to
keep their poise
[Applause]
by worship
remember now chat has five he has to be
very careful now that's it
[Applause]
believe on him he normally doesn't show
much emotion but that was a big shock
[Applause]
once again has been a major factor
that's 12 points for snow now will they
start fouling check if he catches the
ball around the basket remember he is
really struggling block that become a
factor here into this game both teams
are over the limit
three
[Applause]
several exceptions
[Applause]
and put the pressure on the Lakers to
score into attack and Larry Brown sent
to his team in that time Edison guys the
pressures on them
just keep your ports make them make the
plug no team in the history of the NBA
Finals has lost its first two games of
harbor then come back to win the series
we are C's degrees of panic by the
Lakers here on this fourth quarter
but tumble has three fouls that means he
has two fouls to take on Shaq that they
throw the ball inside to him so he
cannot let him lay the ball in the
basket or Duncan has to take a foul
[Applause]
lock it down
[Applause]
downtown
the Tea Party was founded
[Applause]
you see why it's important to get into
penalty this the Lakers started fouling
early in the quarter and it's really
hurt them so what you do now is when you
guard Iverson he's gonna throw himself
in there and he's going to create
contact and get to that foul line you've
gotta have bass to waste at this stage
of the game and the Lakers have
[Applause]
1%
regular citizen he's really excited
right now better calm himself down
[Applause]
remember Mutombo missed a couple the
other night so free-throw shooting
really start to take its toll
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
more there overplaying everything look
at the dresser defense the great steal
by Bill but he steps on the line right
there
sheer every run II not right on top of
that play the Marvin shoots on gun panic
setting in and who this Phil Jackson
turn to Ron Harper coming in and
stabilizing now here's a guy who was not
played much but phil has such great
confidence in him can he help them get
home this last three minutes to even
this series Mike who's going with Harper
for five minutes
and the first half to go off again
[Applause]
close to a
oh dear
and Iverson made those two free zones
they will have the ball right now with a
chance to tie
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
recorders exist
Aiden for the game Roger
ten
[Applause]
and it's deflected out by the Lakers
from last instant decisions by hydrogen
with this is passing it the 76ers now
with 7 on the 24
[Applause]
and a 20 second time Lakers have one of
the 20 remaining Sixers two timeouts
left
[Applause]
if Jack touches the ball you got a foul
line let's see if the Lakers even
throwing to it
[Applause]
give the finish the Sixers off tonight
that will not go away 94 89 Lakers here
pressure by the 76ers
the Lakers will try to hold for a while
a foul is given Mary Brown looking to
put the Lakers out the line to stop
comes right back
it looks like the Sixers have no chance
to win the game and he comes right back
and buries at three so an eight-point
lead goes right down to five once again
the pressure goes to Ron Harper in that
free throw line Ron Harper has not spent
much time at the foul line
[Applause]
and after coming back from that Aquos
Copic knee surgery during the regular
season a 71 percent free-throw shooter
[Applause]

three
[Applause]
such as mustard
[Applause]
11:24 mark the Lincoln sir than a win do

attention here I mean the ropes and so
Fischer hits that big free to push it to
six what a goody effort by the Sixers
Olymp is a big win
[Applause]
the Lakers did not want to foul Brian
proud of the flat
[Music]
stops the cloth and the 76ers back to
the line
Aaron McKie will will shoot two
the 76ers coming away with the use
probable over driveway

[Applause]
they pushed it right to the brink bar
they had a very passive turn the bass
boat look at my person and Kofi talking
to each other right now a lot of talking
going on there right now I think you
gotta see the referee step in and
separate the two players
a lot of emotion and passion
exchange of trash-talking in Allen
Iverson was telling the official Ronnie
[Applause]
or the free-throw shooting
[Music]

competitiveness and remember now the
next three games are in Philadelphia so

segment there at home in the to three to
format the Marv you know no home team
has ever won all three of those games so
