well I had proven time and time again
title that everybody know that we were here
their crowd their team that fire we feed off of that
that I'm built to last
so watch me shine again shine again stolen god
they know you can't allow to beat you
the warriors continued to battle
they'll get the little room
so are we the Boston selex
you know we take a loss and we go back back
get to my winds
so many rappers insert your fame
and most to be lucky if we remember their names
their names their names their names
welcome once again to the nba
finals where basketball brilliance
has always been on display
so many remarkable performance through the years
that have left an indelible mark on this great game
a mark for future generations to admire and to emulate
and tonight's game five
another opportunity for the covering stars
to earn their place amongst these all time greats
as they fight for a championship
it's the Boston celtics and the golden state warriors
gain five of the 2022 nba finals
and it's presented by YouTube tv
steph curry put goldman stayed on us back
and led them
to victory in Boston and gain four on all time
great performance
to even the series and two games of peace
but the self example
one of the most gifted bounce back teams in playoff
history can they do it again tonight on the road
where they have excelled
through the post
and getting the everyone
welcome to game five of the nba finals
with mark Jackson and jeff and gundy
mike raynon and lisa salters
widows as well
through the first four games of this series
had incredible comebacks
two inspiring road wins and that epic performance
and we're only tired of two a piece
we could still have three more games
quack let's start without performance and steph curry
so many reasons to admire it
one of them is the fact that it came against
the best defensive team in the nba
well it's simple
when you talk about the great ones whether it be joy
lebron kobe are curry is some other
they have an answer
everything you try to do
whether you're a great defensive team individually
all collectively they figure it out
and then they make the proper adjustments
and then they respond
look at his ability to relocate
find the basketball
and make you pay the price by not staying connected
pick and roll
you drop in coverage
that's too much ass based for stem curry
he has been absolutely incredible
through the first floor games of this nba finals
only company is george 30+50 from field goat
and thirty and forty five plus from petron land
they have flat out got it done and put on the city
and while while kerry lived at his team in game four
jeff jason taylor unable to do that in game four
very quiet down the stretch he's been terrific
of the plows but uneven in these finals
and that's the subject of our
domino's pre gay mage cube
what does he need to do for the celtics tonight
well he and they must keep their turnovers lower
and tatum must be able to convert
more of his two point gumshots
the celtics have been a high turnover team in their
losses over 17 a game
these are careless
when they've won they've taken care of the ball
and it's inexplicable mike
how he's missed these two point shots
he has 14 made twos and 14 made threes
he's gotten good shots
he's got to convert him to turnovers
he said tin and their losses
gt gt ava tatam and the sulfix have been great
on the road throughout these playoffs
eight and three away from Boston during the post season
but of course golden state near perfect at home
ten and one we're getting close to opening chip
right now we go to pan answer matt pitman
battles presented by YouTube tv
the gorgeous day in the bare area
but a great day to be inside the chase center
what unleashly required to say is the pivotal game five
these themes tied at two games of peace
in this best of seven NBA finals
right now let's check it for the first time today
from lisa salters
hey lisa hey michael
when you ask
hates and tatum how he believes he has performed
so far in this series he says
I know I've had an impact
but I know I've got to play better
he says what's so frustrating
is being capable of playing at a much higher level
and just not having done it yet
for a full 48min
his 31 at this before games lead both teams
but he said it
part of my job is scoring
I have to be held accountable
I have to shoot the ball better
tatum said
he's looking at this game five like the start of a new
three game series
and a chance to rewrite
the narrative of his first finals performance
starting tonight
bye all right lisa
he's had some signature games in these plows
but not yet in the finals
but still perhaps a long way to go
as our starting lineups are delivered by taco bell
in the same five
for ema gudoka
including robert williams who has been terrific
class couple of games
and saying his knee is feeling good
still sore
but he has played well for the Boston selfics
meanwhile steve kerr
for the second straight game will start auto
order going small
kavan loonie will come off the bench
for these warriors
sulphik's coming off that loss but as we know
despite stepcoes heroics Boston seven and all
following the loss in these playoffs
bouncing back is a way of life
for these boss and selfish
but now they've got curry on their home court
where their only home loss was game one
they have been so tough
mark Jackson here at the chase setter
they have been but I
I'm listening to the comments at least I made about
jason tatum and if I were him
I don't overthink it because at the end of the day
I believe there's nothing that they're doing
that's affecting me
it's about me getting better shots being more across
sometimes I think if you're like tatum
you have to be so stubborn
in your belief in yourself
and I would block out all the positive suggestions
by so many listen to your coaches your teammates
but most importantly
trust yourself and your work
a lot of
players say the best advice they get to the finals is
to shut their phone off
graham on green locks it in the porter
porter has to adjust but still gets it ago
ice pass from graham on green
it's a good job
setting up the first plane
with somebody else not named perrio thompson
border started game four did not work out quite well
at least any early going for going to escape
as a celtics turn it over
as we talked about all playoffs
not just here in the finals
turnovers of the barometer for their success
there's no question
12 in their wins
17 and a half in their losses
wiggins against tatum wiggins coming off on
superb game green wide open for three
no hesitation there
no he is still without a three pointer in these finals
now over 10
he was much fucked about
after game four
with that long time on the bench in the fourth quarter
thompson I'm jailor brown
brown fakes fires jumpers grill
that's a tough shot
good details by clay thompson I watched
jailan brown take that same shot about 5min
working on it in the pre game
brown has had some excellent postseason
including a couple of terrific games here
in the finals
as wiggins floats it up and in
that's a tough shot
particularly with robert williams rotating over
a beautiful touch by wiggin
brown takes drives and he's pumped
by drem on green so green will pick up his first
a little pin down they put two on the ball
good pass
and finish by wiggins
to me there's no reason to put two on the ball in that
situation that same size
that should have been automatic switch
tops it all over horford marcus smart
lost it momentarily
524 smart drives down a lane
running lamp doesn't get it to go
williams tip misses
green with the quick outlet
here comes curry
curry going coast to coast lays them up and in
anytime we see steph curry's ability to finish
against bigger length
the ability to eliminate with that strength
get tatum out of the pitcher
suppose it inside and robert williams such a lot threat
williams has been in valley beryllium both ends
doesn't score a lot of points
but his presence makes a big difference
graham on green lays it up and in
and that's what they're trying to get green to do more
roll to the rim
he likes to pick and pop
and it doesn't put pressure on the deep end
now the turnover and take them with the take foul
self the concept they thought there was a foul
on the steel oh it's gonna be golden state ball
here's what you're talking about in the pick and roll
get drem on green to dive instead of standing
on that three point line
steph curry does a great job taking the extra bounce
waiting until he got underneath
and that's good ball pressure by the warriors right now
I do not like to take foul by jason tatum
I just think when there's starved you run back
you try to block the shot
but you don't foul unnecessarily
wiggins makes his move
falling away jeff was good
wiggins his confidence continues to soar
they said five of their first sits from the fuel
old dream on bean goes crashing
into the stance
when I first strong
text to make sure everybody's all right
and gets the ovation
this is what jim on green brings to the table
energy effort
and sacrifice in his body
and it's good they didn't reset the clock
initially they had reset
the shy clock but he certainly didn't have control
and now fans could say it
I just got run over by dream on green
early six point lead
tatum toxin gets in front
orphan I'm a fate
round gets a good look for three
wiggins attacks
takes it back out
and look how they're playing
steph curry face guarding him at half port
seven of a 24 for curry
graham on green gets a kickstart
back out wide open for wiggins
won't go rebound brown that's good often
and again another good read by curry to green
galen ground attacks gets inside lay up misted
curry looks to push
little hesitation
and good transition defense there from Boston
and good 1 on 1 defense
cicada
thompson catch and shoot
as we've said these subjects
have been terrific on the road
they've had two games on the road facing elimination
game six in milwaukee game seven in Miami
of course the game one victory here in the finals
block wiggins with the rejection on the help defense
plates option is greeting
and it's about a lot of blood right now
it's gonna have to take a look at that
oh what a fate from dramon green
turn out Boston
welcome back to San Francisco
tonight's assist of the game is brought to you
by state farm
well through the first four games of this series
dream on green has to put it nicely
struggled offensively
so much though that his own mom tweeted
this during game four on Friday
people please stop asking me what's wrong with dre
I don't know maybe this is a clone
mama dreyman has since tried to clarify her post
reminding folks that she was joking when she said it
pointing out the lmbo park
and then later tweet she said he'll be fine
dreyman is a winner
regardless of what people might try to say about him
but green agreed with his mom
acknowledging on his podcast after game four
that he saw the original tweet
yes it's been a tough series but he said for right now
these finals I know I just gotta figure this out
mike at least
have only
figured it out the first four and a half minutes
he's got four points already
and a couple of assists as tatum
shot clock winding down
kicks it out the horford
horford on the drive
the runner bank shot mystic wiggins with the rebound
he had 16 of them a career high in any game
I'm so impressed with his start tonight to
like
guys like wiggins are often times up and down
he's been to me rock solid in this final
absolutely
thompson pull up jump shot
early 10 point lead for golden state
they hit seven of their first 10 from the field
or as a selfic struggling early on shooting
horford against curry here comes to help
but horford sneaks inside
can't finish gets the rebound back up and in
a second effort from out horford
a give credit to the war is defense when they really
impacted the
celtics offense in histonic with the team that was
the least likely to get it done with that small lineup
starting to balgan
thompson looking for curry
said get to the command looney
and a moving screen called on command looney
alright guys
we heard leese to talk about dream on green
that fourth quarter
steve curb sitting them down with a team down five
in the most important stretch
of the most important game of the season
overall
your thoughts on the move and how everybody handled it
to me I was awfully impressed
no surprise occurs at all time
great coach and on an historic run
those are the tough decisions
but he was willing to make the tough decisions
and look at dramont green and challenge him
and I like the response of dramont also
and for me
it's your judge by the result
they got a great result
it made perfect basketball sense
but that still does not make it an easy decision
I thought looney was great
and I thought it made sense
the way pool was playing offensively
to try to play offense defense
white on the drive looney right there to shut them off
looking finds brow
brown gets inside block by green you got a piece of it
there comes wiggins
green said he was livid having to sit all that time
he said you got a roll with it
and that's what the coach says
he's off to a storm start thompson
the celtics have to be up on that
whether it's a switch or fight over
the screener's
man's gotta be up to take away his airspace
adam rip defense thereby learning and call for foul
for a big man
looney's a pretty good defender on a perimeter
well he's been that way
his ability to switch small
pick and rolls and defend without help
active hands I don't like him picking up his 2nd foul
just carelessly pushing taint him
he's gotten a tough illegal screen call
to start both of the last two games
and tate I'm gonna take a quick rest
grant williams comes in for tatum
this kind of a little unusual
this early in the first order
and you're trying to get him going right now
he's struggling trying to find himself
they need a healthy
aggressive attack and jason tatum to have a chance
meanwhile
looney does pick up that 2nd personal in just 3min
scary payton
welcome into the game
josh tivan checking with the shot clock
as it should have been reset the 14 now they change it
josh tippet
tony brothers white davis artificial stale of brown
to the basket and the fowl
that's bad side out of bounds defense allowing
brown to get to that right hand coach
get into the right hand and also
for looney to pick up his 3rd
looney can't believe the call
but that is gonna be three
me and looney has been invaluable
both rebounding defense
and is able to finish a little bit about the rim
optimus free throw drem on green
I'm a little surprised they left looney in the game
right now staying in there with a 2000
horford with a rebound
grant williams
trying to use the height advantage against curry
marcus mark gets a clean look at that one awesome on
murray's only taking one shot so far
now steps back to pointer for curd
43 point performance in game four
not just the 43 points how efficient it was
the timing of it and then they had the 10 rebounds
smart drives
something's just four of 15 from the field
ea May
unhappy with something
but steve kirk calls the time out
take a break just under four to go in the first
tonight's golden moment brought to you by McDonald's
mark the celtics trying to blanket steph curry
well they're trying to deny them
the only situation here
problem is you deny them
but you allow them to catch the basketball
and that's when you get it going
today I'm willing to play four and four
giving it undivided attention to steph curry
making sure he does not see the basketball
because the answer
to limiting the damage that he's
able to do is limiting his touches
constant movement
individuals
that has the responsibility of defending steph curry
is trying to deny him as touches
definitely don't be talking about
they wanted to keep everyone else in check
they certainly didn't want curry to have 43
but an interesting strategy here
right and what does fall on ford
there he does as patenuts in the three
is there is going to be more
space for the others to play it
and if you're the celtics
and I was talking to mark about this
you never want to have an end of one game
impact the start
of the next game
and have this hangover
and to me
there's just been a little bit of a residual hangover
to start this game for Boston
what do you see that makes you say that
just a little bit more indecisive
particularly on the offensive end
not going in with strength and force
but to me we saw the camera shot
jason taylor he's got to show up right now
scores no field goal attempts
you've got to find a way to impact his game
and force the hand of the
warriors default
mark spoons lost a pickup by curry
throws ahead to payton
here comes gary payton
stumbles and tripped up from behind
and they're going to say in the act of shooting
so two free throws for patent
well the vows against
grant williams making a little shaken up
he tripped by himself
and he wasn't in the
gathering in the upward motion
payton is one of the neat stories this year
he's 29 years old a son of a legend that's not easy
he was way before the start
of the season
because
portion of his contract was going to be guaranteed
29 other teams declined to claim him
so golden state brought him back
and they gave him his first guaranteed contract in
six years after he wasn't drafted out of Oregon state
five years in the g league
10 day contracts two way contracts
and now he's such a special part of his team
and it's become a spectacular defensive player
mike and incredible pot of story
I saw interview with him
lot of contractors white gets knocked down
still Boston ball
I don't know how many people notice
he was coming back
wanting to be the video
coordinator for the go to state warriors
that is absolutely unbelievable
but he didn't want to go to the g league
he wanted to stay close to the nba
but he was willing to accept that
anything to stay around
and all the different places he played
he got cut a lot of times
including golden state cut him twice
and because of the foul trouble to looney
andre iguadala
inserted into the game
agadalas played 14min in these finals
gordon pool comes in for clay thompson
agadala of course
a great veteran
that has been the devil by injuries
his paint and crichard stepped out of bounds
that's four turnovers now for Boston
one day I'm watching this
or his offense
and it shows the greatness and the unselfishness
of steph curry
he's not chasing shots he's willing to be the decoy
the way that he's being defended by the self
grant williams now on curry
curry beats him off the trouble
floats it over grant over williams
and he gets the nice bars
so it's white richard
grant and robert williams and tatum back in
tatum makes his move gets inside throws it up and in
what a tough shot
he also said of art davis I got hit
that's his first shot attempt to curry comes up short
creature of the rebound
tatum got to his right hand on that drive
they had done
a good job of limiting the right hand drives previously
and I like him getting the basketball in this position
ceased to help and able to win his matching
made him
turn around shot it's good
beautiful move from tatum
back to back field goals you know before
they put them in that dirt spot
in the little floor at the foul line a lot of
it seems tighter than it is
I like that we
isolate on the wing
and have the ability to see all the action
eric white with some physical baldon island wiggins
1 on 1 with wiggins
turn shoots scores
wiggins got six points here on the first
overall in these finals he's been their 2nd best player
his ability to score give relief
and then defensely he's been exceptional
and I bet you
this is the first time these five
have been on the floor all year together
tatum goes back door lays it up and in
nice pass from robert williams and terrific
slip and finish by tatum
good coordination on their five out
flare screen action
tatum three straight buckets after coming off the bench
curry drives
nearly stolen by grant williams but curry lamp won't go
five minutes first quarter
white
pritchard for three
robert williams are put back
once again williams having an impact
are the warriors still lead by 10
oh long three
way off I know some of these two for ones
mathematically they say they make sense
what I see is some awful
1st shots you didn't like that position
if you can't get something better than that
can we just move it
wiggins has done an excellent job on taniforop
the series gardening in here
cross court to pritchard pritchard fakes a pass
this is the shot
tend to go on the shot clock
doc clock turned off
tend to go in the period of that
curry on the drive final seconds goes inside reverse
oh go out of bounds
curry
can't believe you didn't get a whistle for a foul
the warriors will end down with five tenths remaining
that's old school referee
and if you're not gonna call a foul
this is out of bounds
off step curry
that's ferticality I think that's a good
no call they've been consistent with on the drives
they're not giving you any bail outs
and again no restricted area there
the defender goes up
another good play from robert williams
and a foul called on the shot
an email udoka furious
they're gonna review it to make sure
the foul came before the buzzard
that was an excellent and oh hey
you got a technical yet
that's a good cut by wiggins
let's take a look at the play while they go looking
the monitor for the review
this file price especially appearably reviewed
that's mark davis the crew chief got filed way before
yep
norwegan's gonna shoot free throws here
so williams
will pick up his first
double checking
and smart davis on the right josh chivan
on the left is revenge
tony brothers the third official tonight
and similar to what you always talk about
technical fowls
I didn't see enough to get a technical fowl
in a program view has been determined to follow
kurd prior to expression of period
reset the game plot to 0.2
two tens of 2nd foot back on the clock
everybody back on the floor
and wiggins to shoot two
and curry is going to shoot the technical first
I would suspect
the other officials are
unaware that he called the technical
mark davis the one who called the tech
he's talking with rudoka right now
now they're waving them off the line
and shoot that technical free throw first
there are four points as you see here in this
first period
this is badly
11 days 75 games all 30 teams
see the stars of tomorrow
take the court for the first time at nba two
k 23
summer league from July 7 to the 17th
tickets and experiences on sale now at nba events com
so wiggins now to shoot two
steep cur said
the miss the other night wiggins was fantastic
seventeen point sixteen rebounds in game four
these No.1 in real plus minus and the entire playoffs
and everyone
played 43 and a half minutes the other night
his defense has been just superb
that shows me
played the most minute
probably with steph corridor and the plus minors
you always have to take those with a grain of salt
but it still forgot to play so much
it good indicators that will end
the first quarter
an excellent statement to begin for golden state
up 11 after one here in game five
welcome back to San Francisco
tonight's coaches interviews brought to you by horizon
emay down 11
what caused you to struggle offensively early
especially early in the portal
not finished strong enough
we were at one point four four eleven and point blink
there being more physical with us
when I'm playing through the contact
jason tatum came out of the game earlier than usual
he got back in appeared to get hot
but what made you make that move so early
or earlier than usual
it was a few seconds before his usual time out
so we got him a little extra rest
got him back in earlier
thank you coach
mike alright lisa
well that extra rest certainly spur them on
soon as you get off the bench
put your nice ball fake gumshot
won't go grant williams had it lost it
the loose ball fowl is gonna go
against billitza
nanya belizza who's
played some pretty good minutes to last several games
he occurs like the way he's defended
obviously has some size for team that needs some size
and that's the concern
if he defends the way he's been
defending throughout this series
feel much more comfortable
putting him in the ball
round the pritchett
cool picking up brown
drive cast and gets inside land pick out of the fall
green the rebound
fools pass harms off ahead
I think it was his own team and I think it was good
leach as well
thompson as the height advantage of richard
gets inside here comes robert williams the help
the elita off the bounce
a swing at wiggins could open look
but can't get it before
hey what richard gave up a lot of inches there
but fort clay thompson
every bit and allowed robert limbs to help out
take them to drive
tough shot the elijah it will hold on
and we talk so much about the self defense defense
and they have been the best defensive
team in the league
that golden states defense here the first half has been
terrific
fremont gree
good block by williams
williams walks into a three
and now all for seven from downtown Boston
feed inside robert liam's block would have found
graham on green will pick up his 2nd personal
upcoming national tv schedule Tuesday on espn
wnba double header
mercury mystic storm and links
Thursday
game six of these finals will be back in Boston
tip off shortly after nine
eastern and all finals games on abc
as robert williams
for the free throw line
back to back terrific games in game three
and in game four
locking shots and steels
al hawker was saying the other day he's
he's just a game changer
it has nothing to do with numbers just as presents
what he's done
never been about his talent
he has got such talent
he's been questionable every game
the one thing you can't
question about him though is his talent in his heart
as he's playing through a tough me injury
which gives you a reason to be
excited when you look towards the future
is you're a selfic fan
he's going to be healthy and whole
and awfully destructive all season long next year
poor ice pull back
nails are free
that's the third three pointer
dramon green with a steel
green goes inside oh he missed it for the foul
now
robert williams will pick up his 2nd and he goes down
hard
what you look at the pickup point
defensively and the carelessness
jason tatum
good job by dream on green pursuing the basketball
and attacking the rim contact
and the stare down after that
watch williams his body spins around after the block
it's kind of flexing his arm a little bit right now
or the dream on green will go to the line
was averaging
just over
four a game in the finals through the first four
got five points already
three boards a couple of assists
is smart and white return for Boston
a great stop for the war is you think about defensely
they've set the tone
and offensely other guys have gotten going beside curve
and I like this line up
for Boston one big with
robert williams and four skill players around him
back up to 14
the elites are again the size on smart
as white picks it back out
marcus smart off the bounce
this floater is up and good
your mark is smart and Belize is the guy defending
you gotta look to be aggressive and make plays
to me as a point god that would disrespect
1st field going for smart the smart scores
the celtics usually touch the beat
past effect that install a good defense from white
spins away
starting on a drive
white left open
and a loose bulf out
is going to go against golden state and cool
first foul on cool
and marcus mona santa john poop
grabbed him and pulled him down
he certainly did
that's 310,000 already in less than 3min
meanwhile Boston still without a three
they're all for eight
whites from back from three
and recent games
and a great look that time wouldn't fall
paid him a two pointer knocks down the jumper
he's now four for five from the field
and they're going after pool
in as many defensive situations as possible
more like dynamic offensive player
so all about the defense
where he struggle the times is thompson mrs
smart the elites are keeping him in front
but smart goes right
adam terrific both from marcus smart
couple of field goals here and the league cut in half
it's now an eight point advantage
but this is the mind said
take care of basketball and attack
the match of smartskids
he elites at defending him
get out of my way put his head down
uses that strength to eliminate
gets to his spot and elevate
and I like this position where they give taste
paid on the basketball
on the wing where he sees everybody on the floor
the ability to win his matchup
good old fashioned execution on the offensive man
aerial coverage provided by goodyear
drive always discovers possibility
goodyear or driven
second quarter here of gain five
golden state league 32 24
steph karia's slow start
he said he doesn't rank his all time great game
so he wouldn't rank games for
but when you asked him
what's the greatest
finals game performance you ever saw
he quick to say
and his wig and shot in and out
quick to say allan iverson gained one back in
2001 when he put up 48
against the lakers
six years one game one then lost four and a row
that was another one of those epic finals performances
tater with five to shoot
it's a little room launches the three
and Boston still without a three pointer
jordy pool vines wiggins
payton wide open look in and out
of course I fractured left dough bolt
happening in the second round
2nd game against Memphis
missed a month
oh what a pass inside from smart
and robert williams backs home to follow
williams is their leading score
these got eight points first time they posted smart
didn't post him in game four
I'd like that
wiggins good move
can't finish tipped and taken by jailin brown
Austin took an early punch now fighting back
well the pure right coats are seeking out Jordan
tool and attacking that match
williams up top tater
smart caught about it now fires can hit the three
readings five rebounds here in the first half
steph curry ready to check in
brown winter the steel
thompson gets a good clean look
the warriors aren't playing with the same fast paced
mentality as they did in game
ford it's very
measured as they're bringing it up versus a hard push
reporter return
and here's what you're talking about
posting on marcus smart
you can't old but hell
leaves the body of robert williams
great deliverers from smart
but good things
have happened when they post it up smart
orford returns for Boston
whistle on a foul is
white and thompson crash into each other
late johnson picks up his first
that's 14,000 now on the warriors with 640 to play
white little shaken up
and you touch on the mic and the other self
that you gotta understand right now you shoot a tree
throws the rest of the way
look to attack and be aggressive
authors got quarter on him
it's haydom tyson go back door
dadam felt he was held he's upset
but a turnover that's No.6 to Boston
harry thought about a three
green gets knocked down
we're going to get it to a teammate now
fowl is called on jalen brown for diving on green
you don't see those call very often
often for players on the floor
you can do anything just jump on top the ground
picks up his first
2nd team found
I like how boston's playing though
they're up after him right now
it's a great start for the warriors
it took the celtics a long time to get into the game
but this is a terrific
start of the second quarter for that
we're certainly into it now
quarter
three quarter mrs
both team struggling from downtown
round control falls down
that was close to a travel
I think it was a travel
white makes his move
kicks it out to taydem
corner three jason taydem in and out
oh for 11 from three point range
they are golden state three for 14
a lot of them in good looks
dramon please floats it up at it
he's got eight points air in the first half
and keeping it simple
gets to that right hand
takes advantage of the small derek white defending him
and becomes an aggressive score
warriors hadn't scored
in almost four and a half minutes
wiped the spin
sparked the extra pass
horford 403
nothing going down from downtown for Boston
curry long 3
only well short
brown looking to attack
good transition defense or grain it's golden state ball
for we are seeing some
top physical defense here at the first half
well dramon green getting ball pressure up high against
light beats the ball pressure and hits a little floater
when someone's gonna get up and into you
you can't allow that all night
you gotta go buy them
and green went by white there and took advantage
green of course
had a big impact in game two with his physical play
but other than that
has not had much of an impact in this series
until here the first half
okay five
curry's pass deflicted out of mounds
and he's off to a very very slow start
interestingly right now
artugadala comes in to dramont green
will the war
is being able to sustain the same type of energy
and epic on both sides of the floor
and where is the offense going to come from
right now for golden state
wiggins has got to make sure he's super aggressive
wiggins super aggressive right there
this inside shot is good
anna fowl right on q
and a chance for a three point play
boy is scary how good you are
knowing the game of basketball
you called on wiggins being aggressive and he responds
gets to hoop and the contact
going to the line for the possible three point part
when you just look at the lineup
iguadala hasn't played much
and that's not really his game
payton's not he's a defender first
autoporter is a very smart player
I mean it's gonna come down to canned wiggins and curry
create enough shots
10 porch five rebounds for wigans lead back up to 11
the largest has been 16
warriors of how to lead the entire first half
tatum has plenty of room this time
and now's the three pointer
that's their first three pointer of the game
they were over 12
and wiggins gave him three points
and just gave it right back
by trying to go under the screen against data
inexplicable
sorry sets up bigot island again
another deflection
you know to his credit
how hope it
has done a very good job of being up on the screen
not making the same mistakes we've seen previously
how about this hand off we can
cheats to play goes underneath and pays the price
dated with 11 points
oh quick passive side
agadola and payton with a connection
wow that sun cut by payton
and a nice fine biagra dollar
a couple of assists for andreagadala
off the bench again
has not played much
tatum drives on curry
horford lines up
nails are free
now horford with his first three pointer
that's good office by tatum
you're so right
so much more decisive than how he started the game
carrie comes it off the foot of tatum
golden state ball
his dream on green returns but gets curry on him
he drives it he's going to score
he draws multiple warrior defenders
and a beautiful
kick out pass and here smart just lost vision
no one was on the bald garden imbounder
nice pass nice finish
bible in 24 wiggins against white
that's a difficult turn on
ligans makes it look easy
oh he is playing like
like he's back in college
on high school extreme companies
or in minnesota where he was a big score
and tatum is styled
crowd doesn't like it but tatum's like
finally I get a whistle
but again they let him get to his right hand
it's a mistake
I like the aggressiveness
question is is that contact clearly it is
but he puts so much pressure on the warriors defense
by thinking attack
this the
fourth and 5th pre throw the first half for Boston
these prethrows
presented by YouTube tv
scan the qr code now for
$10 off your first three months
and try it free
and I really like the lineup that a
mae of doka has gone to though
for the majority of the second quarter
one big
and then four perimeter players
miss them both
wiggins with yet another rebound
as we approach 3min remaining
there are the first half
wiggins fates the past drives inside the runner
well defended
wiggins 2nd attempt mrs
kicked out to green
right back to wiggins for the land
graham on greens got its fingerprints
on a lot of what's happened here in the first half
eight points three assist
four rebounds and a block shot and a steel
smart for three got it
I like when he's aggressive like this
marcus smart has led this second quarter
paint the curry
green right back the curry draws the foul
those two about a connection for a decade
and that was a beautiful feed from dramon green
free throws for curry coming up
as the warriors lead by eight
making buckets brought to you by kfc jeff
while ander riggins 14 0.7 rebounds
the only warrior in double figures
here at nyx turnaround jumper that was well defended
come and hear up the dribble hand up again
strong right hand player getting to his right hand
and then countering
with the little fade away jumper
he has been by
far the best player on the floor
for the warriors there tonight
again former No.1 overall pick
when he was at minnesota he was the No.1 option
averaged over 20 again three times
one time almost average 24 a game
but he says he's very comfortable in his roles
that the adjustment wasn't hard
he just wants to win and he understands
it's a different role
here with these golden state warriors
but his defensive improvement
has been special
steve cart talked about it
the key to this whole turnaround
and getting back to the finals was acquiring
andrew wiggins
his presence his versatility
sure he can score
but in clay thompson going down they needed to
find another god that can offended a high level
and he has proven to be that guy
on the perimeter
you're right you need big wings
if you're gonna go far
in these playoffs
it's not the first wiggins to play in the finals
as dad as we mentioned
played with euston and 86 that lost to the celtics
meanwhile gary payton's
that of course
played in
three different finals with three different teams
and played thompson stad
were in three finals with the lakers
including a couple of championships
brown looking for an opening deflected by payton
shot clock at seven
three picks up brown
brown step back to pointer
wiggins with his 8th rebound and a loose wolf house
gonna go against the warriors on gary pig
yeah he probably didn't have to continue to block out
and exaggerated as much as he did
but I like his physical
approach
I mean this is a good defensive sequence
he's locked up with horford
probably didn't have to keep moving him back
voice celpics now 2 4 6 from the line
oh game one of the stanley cup finals Wednesday
and the two time defending champion lightning
look for the three p against the avalanche
coverage begins at eight eastern on abc
our crew has done a
spectacular job in the nhl
they're bar good putting shaw mcdonald
I love
playoff hockey I know not one rule
but I love the physical nature of it
and the team spirit
what's ice in it
I don't know
that's when they chuck it way down the court
harry chucks it up and puts it in
his 3rd
filgo find a way my guy ray parole and the call also
can't forget him
tatum gets inside
lamp is good
and after the slow start tatum now 13 points
he's got seven rebounds himself
the celtics were only
38 points with one twenty five to play in the half
hurry get some room fires away
three oprah three from free point range
round drives on green
stolen by payton
lost a momentarily shuffles of the head to currie
curry the wiggins wiggins the layout it's going
and the celtics two best players
efficiency going left versus going right
as we just saw with brown
it's much rest efficient going to their left
a chance of defense and appropriate chant
the way golden state has defended here the first half
derek white the spin move against curry vow
and white will shoot free throws
his curry picks up his first
a great job fallon and compete in defense
read carelessness by the celtics of a gift
credit to the warriors
active hands comes up in steel defense to offense
curry finds a slashing diving wiggins
for the easy deuce
so white scoreless in 17min he's been a nice
secondary score for the last eight games
another miss freak are coming up the metaquest halftime
as dream on green bouncing back
go talk about his first half
mike cremeberg stephen a michael woman and jaylin rose
and mike is that called barry in the lead
because the lead is andrew wiggins
yes
I have other things to discuss
you guys have handled the wiggins thing
white hits that
eric white who is the nuggets fan growing up
love carmelo anthony love
chauncey phillips when he was in Denver
as curry dries lay up off the class
as good other one of those
circus shots from steph curry
and that's a good two for one opportunity
good job by gary fate in a second ceiling
al halford on the drive
6 seconds different shot clock and game clock
smart
my speed inside deflected
tried to thread the knee
to look like was gonna be a perfect pass
or on another turnover that's nine for Boston
how about to finish
steph card
these are shots he works on every single day
he puts himself in position by his work habit
his work ethics
to knock down shots like this in a variety of wings
no fouls to give here for Boston
shot clock turned off final seconds
ferry to wiggins wiggins kicks it out of green a three
pinter
paid them the rebound and that will end the first half
the goal of state defense holding Boston to 39 points
on 39% shooting
and andrew wiggins continues his outstanding play
with a 16 at seven first 2/4
wiggins
that curry the only two warriors and double figures
wiggins aggressive at both ends of the floor
and dremon green with a big mouse back
eight points four boards three assist
2/4 complete here in game five
warriors up a dozen
the nba finals presented by YouTube tv
are brought to you by Jordan heels nope
in theaters July 20 2nd
welcome to the meta quest half time
four years at home
leading by a dozen behind
16 points from andrew wiggins
jason tatum leading Boston with 13
steven a smith michael will bonjo
alan rose on my greenberg
steven a interesting first half
very interesting
the golden state warriors defense gotta applaud them
held held bottom to 16 points in the first quarter
under 40 points for the half
dalen brown is shooting two of 10 from the field
and you have literally one bench point
for the Boston celtics
you gotta give to go to state war is a lot of credit
switching contesting every shot
jason tatum has gotten going
says flow start
but after they got going late in the first quarter
in the end though
golden states defense and andrew wiggins offense
has been the story
I'm trying to figure out steven a
how many of the nine Boston turnovers are forced
versus unforce
either way
the one thing we was one of the things to talk about
those
nine turnovers are turned into 13 goal to stay points
the celtics cannot win that way
and what have we been talking about the entire
series with him
when they can play a
stretch of turnover free basketball
they're really difficult to deepen
but not when they have nine in the half only 39 points
it doesn't get ugly for the boss to sell to zero fast
brake point shoes
20% from three 39 % on field goals
44% on free throws
like they didn't show up in the first half
so that's that's the least something that email
doku can challenge his team on a play with more force
as long as they turn the ball over
guys like wiggins and gary pay the second
gonna have opportunities
another thing I'm paying attention to fellows
is what jeff van gundy brought up during the telecast
when they go left adam and brown
they turn on the ball over
when they go right not so much
not only that
when they're dribbling and kicking the ball
to open shooters
the horfords of the world
the markets March in the world
they're effective when they try to make things happen
off the dribble
not so effective
something to keep an eye on the second half
and even though jeff said it would be burying the lead
how about dramon green
we talked a lot about him in the pre game
he showed up with a lot of energy tonight
and officially to scoring the ball
all being aggressive
get this teammates of all playing with force
playing with pace
magic so whole famer said triple double yeah
tweeted that before the game
that would that would be one earth and magic johnson
look at train mine green taking it strong to the whole
all we sacking all pride
you see that steve
and I tried to tell you I ain't hating
I'm roof of the brother
please show up
pretty please
this halftime report is presented by meta quest
the official vr
welcome back to the meta quest halftime
golden state up by 12 headed to the third
jalen brown better hope he gets going before
steph curry gets open
for his lie that is lights out
golden stays
left him in this by missing way too many open shots
plus ourselves
got to stop turning the ball over to defend the paint
with mediquest the official vr headset of the nba
fans can watch highlights compete with friends
and take a selfie of the trophy room at nba
lane in horizon worlds
the third quarter is next
this presentation of the nba finals
presented by YouTube tv
will continue after this message
in a word from our
welcome back the nba finals presented by YouTube tv
steve kerr wired at halftime
that's how the game works right
like if you move it you trust each other
all of a sudden
you have life starts to roll
and that's how we're gonna beat this team
the defense you guys have nail you can't let up on that
defense on the forest is there
can you trust each other and move it
and go from good to grade
that's what's going to determine whatever
we get this done enough
an outstanding defensive first half
as we look at the first half
stats brought to you by google pixel
as golden state holding the celtics to 39% shooting
both teams of visible from three point range
once again
turnovers rearing their ugly head for the celtics
one of the reasons that they are down by 12
hello again everyone
with mark Jackson to jeff and gundy
mike green on hand
we'll check out with lisa in just a moment
mark overall thought those first 2/4
or is we create defensely
saltage careless on the offensive end it cost
well I go right to what you said
I thought they started off indecisive
their turnover issues are real
well
the time for more or less brought to you by YouTube tv
get more than cable for less than cable
all right what do you want to see more of mark
more taking care of basketball view to selfies
that's the only way
you know get back into this ball game
and for me more clay thompson
continued more from dramon green
and continued more from jason tatum
I love how tatum responded after a slow start
hold on mike isn't it more or less
are you want something less I was trying to be positive
and you guys are trying to be like
bring me down once again
you know I was talking to the commissioner today
feel better at commissioner
and he said have a good game
but I think what he really meant was
I hope you can get those guys as positive as you are
jeff
I'm sure those of the exact words as brow puts it up
in the found we have a great crowd here today
but of course missing is nba commissioner adam silvers
in the nba's health and safety protocol
so having a watch at home
rest up and get back
very quickly commissioner silver
as we send it over to lisa
hey michael
imiodoka's criticism of his team at the half
was the same as it was after the first quarter
he said we just have to do a better job
of playing with physicality
he said we did a better job in the second quarter
got to our drives and kicks a little bit more
but overall we've got to be better
playing through contact
if you don't get the call don't look at the refs
this is a physical game
like those turnover numbers it seems to be 16 is
the magic number for the struggles
anything under
there's so much better and it's made all the difference
dropped the playoffs
all jane brown beautiful anticipation and steel drives
block by thompson but a foul
great start by the celtics
two trips to the free throw line
and a terrific steel with good ball pressure
vitator great pickup points
what you talked about
code disrupt in the war is offensely
and what I like if I'm the celtics a god
has been struggling in jailin brown
this is his fourth third and fourth free throw
early in the second half
so 3000 again on thompson
celtics just six of 11 from the free throw line
it has been struggle shooting
from everywhere here so far
but remember game one lost and celtics
had that historic comeback on this floor
in that fourth quarter
when they outscored them 40 to 16
to take the first game of these finals
largest lead has been 16
Austin has never led
thompson comes off the screen
nice feet inside the porter
origins back up top to thompson
shot clock winding down
curry's got a porford way out extending the d
curry on the drive kicks it back out porter
nope doesn't get it off in time won't count
the ball pressure has been
tremendous to start this second half for the sultans
and in that last play
again robert williams health
defense completely changed that possession
tatum find some room hits a three
jason tatum now it's 16 and it's a five point game
they put step furry into action
not wanting to switch allow jason tatum to wide open
look seven quick points now for Boston
and a whistle out of foul
marcus mark is called
for the personal his 2nd
well it's a good screen
and they're trying
he's got everybody clamped
hey it's not illegal if it's not called
but I think also they're trying to like
push up the screener and go under
when you repick like smart did
really hard to accomplish that a second time
there's wiggins
find some room and battle on jeopard mrs
brown with the rebound
we've talked about
what a great third quarter team the warriors have been
all series but right here to start out
the celtics have absolutely been more forceful
tatum another three
jason tatum hits from downtown that's five in a row
Boston sit from three point range
after starting the game over 12
and they cut it to two
do a good job of trying to shield off the right hand
of jailing brown
but there's a good job
on his way down finding a wide open jason tatum
and he continues
as the clothes out is not to his body
gives up the ass face
knocks down the lawn boy and gives it all
no more mental
to the green and white
dolan state has owned the third quarter in these finals
including that 35
to 14 domination in their game to win the air
at the chase center
but to start this fourth quarter
or third quarter here in game five celtics
dominant start
and the first less than 2min
collision down the other end
and an offensive foul is gonna go against golden state
curry and horford got tangled up
and curry's gonna pick up his 2nd
that's a tough call
two veterans collide
and that's already three turnovers
for golden state in the first 2min of the third
and again getting the switch that they want with tatum
against curry
laid him has seen a lot of double teams smart
gobbling against wiggins
gets into the paint puller chopper
rolls off the rim
tip them take it by curry
curry the thompson thompson quick three
walker levila gravity
val on quarter
two on quarter three
ten thousand already on golden state
I really like the aggressiveness of tatum
in this third quarter
and it's really started to me
from their defensive ball pressure
round mrs greyman green the rebound green is added
an excellent game here
two quarters plus
thompson wiggins extra pass quarter all alone
can't hit the three
but these possessions were curries not involved at all
at the start of the game
it was okay because they were scorn
but they've gotta somehow
activate him
in the half court
the warriors right now just brutal from downtown
three for 19
tatum double team again
taking away that turn
harvey finds green
back out to thompson
off one foot now nails of thompson now at seven points
in a goal of state
storming back
and that's their best chance
force turnovers score in transition
they led by as many as 16
Boston cutting into it or is
trying to answer
smart in the pain comes up short
smart toddled in the back court curry
still without a three he's over for
smart grimacing down the other end
take him find some room
another three
this fourth three pointer he's got 22
they got to make him drive the ball into traffic
too much air space to start this third quarter
16 point lead
has been cut to one
tops and wiggins
wiggins passed on the three
and a foul fall on jaylin brown
that'll be his 2nd
we shot the three
very well in the finals
you've got to make him play into traffic
good handle there by tatum to create enough separation
to raise up over
auto porter
tayden was 45% from three years in the finals
and he's four of six
here in game five
cary gets inside lay up missing
cary got knocked down
ball strip
thompson on the brake
drives barrels in and a blocking ball
paul on marcus smart
that will be his 3rd and the team's 3rd
I have a charge
have some move
instead thompson will shoot his first free throws
thompson's only taken eight free throws
in these finals and hit all eight
so far three of eight from the field

game six of these finals
as the series shifts back to Boston
tip off to be
a little 9:00
who will have the three games to two lead right now
golden stayed up by three
with Boston as you've seen
so many times in these wyoffs on a comeback trail
as wiggins picks up his first and that's the 14 thou
with seven ten remaining
year in the furious
celtics have had trouble scoring
until this third quarter
and a half court defense against golden state
but they might be getting to the free throw line a lot
here this period
are we trying to stay in front of brown
brown drives up top to smart
hesitate in a moment and that's a three
now the subjects have tied the game
they've hit seven straight threes
after missing their first 12 of the game
16 point lead has disappeared
wiggins off the mark
robert williams quick catch and release
paid him against
wiggins finds an open horford
horford for three and the celtics take the lead
first lead in the night for Boston
eight straight three pointers
19 point turn around here in game five
and now all of a sudden Boston can't miss from downtown
well tatum a very nice past
searching out al horford who's wide open
for the eighth straight three
and jalen brown on the previous position
off his right hand drive
they don't want to rotate to smart
and smart makes them pay
the nba finals presented by YouTube tv

rude for those with a fighting spirit
aerial coverage provided by
good year celebrating the drive that moves you forward
good year more driven
the
subjects have turned the tables on the third quarter
magic
the golden state warriors cause here in game five 1924
this is a subject team
that really struggle in the first half
early scored 39 points
what's the biggest difference
I just love
their defensive ball pressure
and the activity of
tedam searching out good opportunity
they've imposed their will defensely
against his warrior team
curry looking for some room with brown on them
curry the drive
throws it up and on a beautiful floater
alright just five of 13 from the veal
and not just defensively
but
obviously they're trying to put steph curry into acts
and to wear him down
and force him to defend
adam again the double team smart gets a good look
three pointer in and out
robert williams takes it away from payton
tatum fakes fix it out
smart tries again
this time it's good marcus smart from downtown
and the way that they're defending marcus mark
these opportunities are going to present themselves
he's going to get quality looks every possession
wiggins can't get at the fall
rebound tipped up and in
come on looney right there with the deflection
it was robin williams and look like tip that basket in
looney make sure to raise his head
it's if it was williams
it's the closest warrior at the time
as tatum's runner misses not once
tipped in by jaylin brown
that's some good action
after what was kind of a ragged first half
curry shuffle pass painting the lamp is good
what a beautiful look down the other end
types of deflection out of bounds
and it's still gonna be Boston ball
and that's the wrong calm
that went off of jailing brown's hand
deflecting it trying to get it
fortunately for the celtics they get the calm
see kurt checking to see if he should challenge it
now don't trust me
we always trust you
but it's turned right back over
curry thought about it now fires away
three pointer misted take them the rebound
curry's over five now from downtown
he has not eaten close on his
threes tonight
up into foul
grant williams bleeding his case
he picks up his 2nd
but there's no reason
well that's a flop
but there's no reason to even get involved in that
absolutely
I just hate when floppers get rewarded
sorry oh nice defense for robert williams late
thompson now on the move
fix it out in the corner
good luck for peyton
williams the rebound
table has taken the challenge offensively
and right now he's the primary defender on steph curry
defense that's a dangerous pass
3rd was fronting ground
smart tried to thread the needle and turns it over
that's 14 turnovers to Boston and it's
he's trying to enter the ball from too far out
and you see this play
good job by williams
using his links and athleticisms
cary block from behind by grant williams
robert williams to grant inside layout it's good
and the foul as loony knocks him down
more terrific defense here
from the Boston celtics here on the 3rd
we've seen previously
they defend the high screen and roll with steph curry
poorly give credit to the adjustment coaching wise
being up on the screen
being much more active on the ball
that time coming up with the deflection
and then off to the races
and curry misk
gary payton
wide open on the cut as smart is also up to support
he's gonna have to hurt him with the past
if they're gonna commit that many
defenders to him
well it's a 17 point turnaround
here in this third quarter
Boston led by
port trail by 12
early on here in the third
and I'll have a five point lead
looney looking
thompson fires away three
got it they had missed 14 3 pointers in a row
after the celtics had miss 12
in a row in the first half
but a roller coaster ride
grant william grabbing that right ankle
got hurt on the last possession
tater thought about it jab step now fires away
way off but airball is looney gets the rebound
play thompson
Peru behind wiggins
that's only the seventh turnover for golden state
that's been a huge factor compared to the 14 by Boston
that's what I'm talking about
tweak of the ankle by grant williams defending looning
how about clay thompson
exceptional job moving out the basketball
you make one mistake as a price to pay
one game after
scoring 43 points in a sensational performance
steph curry just over six from 3 12 points
five of 15 overall
under three to play here in the third
tatum squares and faces on wiggins picked up by curry
seven on the shot talk
smart fake smart drives
and smart scores off the glass
again it's the right reed batato gets the double team
a willing pass and gets rid of the basketball
puts smart in position to make the right read
eight of his 15 here in this 3rd
thompson tries to answer it does play thompson
we're back to back threes
it's back to a one point game
and if you're the warriors you've gotta somehow
get taken to feel uncomfortable cause right now
he's feeling good
he's
floating in the corner to grant williams inside
the robert williams father slam
beautiful ball movement there
curry thailine jumper off the mark
all knocked out of bounds will go the other way
everything went down for step curry in game four
but it's been a struggle here in game five
talk about feeling comfortable
titles make it the right reason
getting rid of the basketball
grant williams off of that
delivers it to rob the williams
that's quality offense
but I think the warriors are switching too easily
under two to play
during what has been a fabulous third quarter
for the Boston celtics
and can the curry pool back card hold up defensively
smart draws a foul
before the shot attempt
that's going to be
4000 thompson
in the penalty so he's going to get
two free throws regardless
with one thirty eight remaining in the period
look how small the warriors are right now
with three really small guards
thompson and dramon green
and smart
when you score is 18 or more on the playoffs 13 1
it's got 15 right now and this is a pre draw
well there's
some of our featured basketball programming on espn
plus the greatest mixtape ever
looks at how the culture basketball
changed in the nineties
vince's place is
vince carter's
look at why basketball
captivates fans all over the world
and best of enemies
a three part series about the selfix
lakers historic rivalry
which is a fantastic series
I'm watching right now play thompson upset that he
had to exit the ballgame out to
picking up that forefound uniceltics
what a side relief
the one warrior that was on fire
out of the ballgame through the foul trouble issues
four point Boston lead
bit and a half to play on the 3rd
terry draws the foul
and again they'll say it before the upward motion
as tayden will pick up his 2nd personal foul
and he sighed out
that's the 14 foul
adam didn't like to call
again two persons on tatum
and robert williams is guarding wiggins
cary gets free
and then double team finds pool pool and open look
hits a free
gordon paul in his ['three']millisecond pointer
there you know
self missed by steph curry
but awful defense by marcus smart
on the out of boundary
d mas
d mad
tatum against wiggins pull our baseline comes up short
well defended although tatum thought he got hit
here comes dramon green
beautiful pass and patent backs it in
oh and a gorgeous bounce pass from dream on green
and that's the first time
green has really pushed the ball hard
like we saw in Boston in game 4th
brown count it on the foul
galen brown gets knocked down using his off hand
to lay it up and in
and Boston back up by one
again they put steph curry in action
get the match up that they want
and brown thanks downhill what a beautiful finish
open a contested hand of j mine green
and dramon beautiful
pass and cut by payton
but on that brown drive
if you're undersized like the warriors are right now
pool's got to put his body in front
and not jump up out of the way but take
the hit and try to take a charge
when you're overmatched athletically
you have to put your body on the line
if you're gonna win these type of games
13 points for brown self despite two final minute
cool looking he's got horford on him
pool step back
long high arcing three off the mark long go
rebound grant williams wrestles it away
about a three and a half second
different shot clock and game clock
no thousand years
fatem nearly foul
dangerous pass
shot clock at three
brown puts up the three
off the mark
rebound wiggins got 3 seconds to get a shot off
wiggins to pool pool gets it off in time
oh he banged it in
he banged it in
they count it
as the buzzer sound
using every possible 2nd wiggins
wisely gets in a pool they're gonna look at it
that's closer than it appeared in live action
but it looks like he got it off in time
it's out of his fingertips right there
that's gonna count
what a wild sequence of events
after a choppy first half a thrilling third quarter
that's a one point game as we head to the fourth
an era award from our abc station
welcome back to the nba finals presented by YouTube tv
steve what do you like
about the way you ended that third quarter
well I like that bank shot at the end but
I just like our response
I mean they hit us
pretty hard there for most of the third
and our guys got a little momentum down
and we're right where we need to be
I heard you tell your guys meet force with force
I think I know what that means
but explain what you mean mother
hard cuts solid screens sprint the floor
defense defense defense rebound all that stuff
thank you hurt you mike
all right lisa
Boston with a sensational third quarter but then cool
lightning strikes twice for Jordan
pooley did the same thing
the end of the third quarter of game two
as tatum drives
can't get it wiggins the rebound
wiggins attacks goes right at light lamp he packs it in
18 for wiggins
that's really the first
hard
driving attack by wiggins in this half
gary starts to 4th on the bench
that's like he did in game four
and then erupted when it came off the bench
but he has struggled tonight
derek white steps back white three point of mrs
wiggins with his 10th rebound
at sixteen of them in game four
pull the wiggins
the wiggins way off too strong
it carries off the backboard
tatum steps back
white hesitated now the three pointer
in and out looney carouse it with one hand
and your chance of gloom
pool thompson wiggins green and looney
pool sees room raising it no
in a much better possession for Jordan poole that time
think of the attack off a wiggins attack
first possession of the court
I thought it was a poor reckless
offensive trip for pool with a force
jacked up three point at this time
turns the corner and puts pressure
on the southeast defense
o pull one of the most improved players in the league
got a lot of oats for most improved player
that a great regular season was the third leading score
these warriors
has been the third leading score in the playoffs
had a great start
it has been up and down since then
but he's got the ability to get hot in a hurry
and be a dynamic score
and I like this substitution
by in me
edoka coming back with marcus smart quickly
marcus smart was excellent
in the third quarter
smart drives inside too strong off the glass
and then grant williams a take val
as williams picks up his 3rd
I'm the war is I look to get
clay thompson on the move
get him a quality look off the action
and game one
of this series on this floor was the sulfix
that dominated the fourth war of now
or is up five five
sulfix overcame a 12 point fourth quarter deficit
to win by 12 thompson catches fires
offer trying to track it down he does and saves it
they ran just what you wanted
you got a pretty good luck
cadem drives on wiggins stops
and I travel
for andrew wiggins
defense has been sensational throughout these playoffs
to me the minds has got to be
put the ball in a deck and then
want the smoke
embrace the smoke you go in tentative
and it forces a turnover
attack the bodies
tops it against smart
that's in find some room puts it in
largest lead on the night for golden state
and eight point advantage
time out Boston
mama call of clay
I'm a call of clay
give me a wide open shot
it's not so smart
toxic with 18
it's the largest lead of the fourth quarter
after they fell behind in the third
time out two and I have gone by on the fourth
eighty two seventy four warriors
don't want to miss out
just tell siri remind me to watch game 6 on abc
I love those guys
warriors fever everywhere here in the bay area
gold state had a 16 point lead in the first half
subjects with a great third quarter
you know that's how we sound to some fan bases
anytime you don't root for their team exactly
containive cross court to brown brown thought about it
and before the shot attempt dream on green will pick up
foul No.4 first team foul on golden state
and a technical fowl has been handed out
marcus smart
and Jordan fool is slipping
there have been a lot of arguing
there really has
at the last time out
there was a lot going on
and I do not blame the officials at all
for having a breaking point
even in the finals where you don't want to have
like you don't want to call technical fowls
sometimes you just gotta say enough as enough
cooler was the best
free throw shooter in the nba during the regular season
hits that one
but I want you to always have a breaking point
that's all I'm saying
as a fan of the game
I'm gonna give you a name in on that
nine point advantage with still over nine to play
offensive found on smart he can't believe it
though smart will pick up
the personal vow that's No.4
I met him just after picking up the technical
al horford trying to calm him down
I agree I agree with smart on that one
he got held first
and then pool flopped his way
to a call boss that also got a delay of game
pool paul jumper
pool now with 14 points and 13min 10 seconds
strike points by golden steak
and after the first possession
george pool had been outstanding
giving steph carey well needed breather and responded
dale and brown can't answer
wiggins battles and comes up with yet another rebound
all thought about it
instead thompson takes control
knops and pass it signed
a loony loony reverse he missed it
rebound jalen brown
smart ahead to tatum
tatum sidestep and kicks it back out
brown passes on the three
beautiful ball faking land from jayland brown
what a huge change
in this game miss layup at the other end to go up 13
give up and get a layup to cut it to nine
lay up mist and horfor the rebound
hitting out of brown
brown drives into wiggins
green trying to take it away
and no one's getting back
lot of players seen cast out there right now
as we're under 8min remaining here in the fourth
tatum the spin move
the drive shot knocked away but a whistle and a foul
it looked like dramon green had a good block initially
and green now has five personal files
with seven forty four remaining
the question is is it contact by dramon green has tatum
attempts to lay up
dreymond says it's all born
mark digger since as a found it is some contact
the left on
adam it's the free thrown out
23 points 10 rebounds four assists for tatum
timeout called by golden state may lead by eight
just over seven and a half remaining
the nba finals are presented by YouTube tv
everything live tv should be try it free
new tonight jimmy kimham
less than six degrees of separation from heaven
bacon place was my gifts
and music from the talent at ben harper
jimmy kim alive late night tonight
on abc
fourth quarter
game five of these nba finals the warriors up by eight
getting balance scoring thompson and wiggins
it's been an offshooting game
came
for steph curry after that masterpiece and gave four
but his teammates
have picked it up for him and pondered a problem
give him credit to the warriors
offensively and defensely tonight
but if yoda self thinks 16 ternal was
it creates opportunities for everybody else to get off
offensive
the 16 turnovers that's the magic number
when they've had 16 or more than one and six
there you see it
less than thirteen and two
let's go to lisa and like email doka
just telling you same
look it's seven point game now at six point game
seven have to go
plenty of time no more talking to the reps
keep your composure
play through it
thank you lisa
looney
curry baxter wiggins wiggins goes inside larapus god
gorgeous move from andrew wiggins
off a nice pass by curry
who drew two off that split action
he's got 20 now who lead the warriors
also leads him in rebounding with 11
adams got wiggins on him
curry goes to double
smart kicks it out
all moving to brown
brown stripped and stolen by payton
2 on 1 thompson
curry fakes and start
with an excellent recovery
to stop the three point attempt
and the only reason
he got there was cause curry did not run for a layup
and curry misses the two pointer
and even in that situation
I know he's the best shoot in the history of the game
that's a 2 on 1
he got opportunity to seal out of big time
win and game five
jail and brown the drive
lost it again
another turnover for Boston
18 of them
curry three pointer
all four seven from downtown
and he's had some great looks
marcus smart drives at wiggins
as we approach the midway point here in the fourth
jaylin brown drives on curry
double team gets it back lay up
no they're gonna wave it off
say he was fouled on the rebound
looney will pick up his 5th
looney's only played 14min got an early foul trouble
and looney a little shaken up
we're gonna go snack in the face
that's great help by looney on the first shot
thousand right there
that may have
been continuation
wiggins trying to stay in front of tatum
battling battling tatum falling away airball
more defensive excellence from andrew wiggins
curry looking now drives
wiggins across the lane floats it up at him
andrew wiggins
what a fourth quarter
brown bankshot missed it but fowled
and free throws with five twenty eight remaining
while steve care talked about andrew wiggins
being acquired by the warriors
and he has not disappointed
outstanding individual defense taking a challenge
and then officially timely baskets
all night long
round now with 16 is a lead is a 10
largest lead here in the fourth quarter
for golden state 11
austin's been within one a couple of times
I think about the
tag on wiggins no motor you know
doesn't really get after this guy is
but sometimes it was earned deservedly so
but sometimes you grow out of it also
that's exactly right
you got to give him the credit
for the improvement
carries pass deflected at a pounds by williams
tend to shoot
and sometimes the pressure
of a different role of having to deliver every night
offensively it's sometimes just
not the right role for every player
thompson corner three in and out
robert williams with his 8th rebound
you know something
you gotta think there's still
plenty of time left at this ball game
tatum gets inside and gets hit
so free throws now for tatum
austin's miss seven free throws there 14 of 21
tatum and brown
I've been battling all second half
neither one of them has sat here in the second half
I'll tell you what the frustrating thing
if you're the celtics
you've handled steph curry
you made him look human at times
doesn't have a rhythm from the three point line
you've taken him out
yet the warriors up 10 with 5min to go in his
volgan graham on green comes back in
looney will sit tatum misses another free throw
he's two for five
and no one expect him to sit at all
mrs both free throws
adams played all but 2min in 16 seconds
curry the floater is good
another fine look from drama and green
those two know where each other
on the court all the time
what they do so well
mike when they throw it into that short post area
curry reads the screen
last time as you see the
I don't know what
everybody's involved over here
green wanted to get the ball away from tatum
and wouldn't give it to him
he kept holding it on
and tatum still has the ball
as he sitting on the bench did not want to give it up
440 remaining near the third
I'm not giving it to you right now I don't care
the whistle is born
graymond green trying to become an instigator
wanna fight this series has been 440 remaining
12 point lead for the warriors
it's hard to believe after the magic he performed
in game 4 septari o for seven
right now in game five
has made at least one three pointer
in every playoff game he's been involved
that's 132 of them
it's still 440 remaining
but his teammates have really picked up the slack
led by andrew wiggins with 22 points
it tried to change his shoes at half time
to go back to the magical purple shoes
if they were able to get this win
with him having this type of night
this will be a tremendous tremendous victory
smart takes it back to tatum
tatum fake strives on wiggins get some help
ground a three pointer
two strong rebound tips and taken by wiggins
13 rebounds for wiggins
grayman green with seven assists
curry three pointer
mist again horfor the rebound
that one was not close
Austin trying to get back
but they're just one of
nine from the field here on the 4th
tatum falling away
they get one for 10
brings it up the other way
pass inside the patent and he's held by tatum
3rd foul on tatum 3rd teeth val
push ups from paton
one thing I will say
if you're the celtics moving forward
you have to eliminate all the nonsense
the bickering the complaining
the frustration
understand
you're trying to be a team that has championship dna
it's not going to be easy
and things are not going to go your way
all night long
wiggins drives on williams flips it up
and 24 for andrew williams
14 point warrior league
I'm just so impressed
with wiggins in every facet of the game tonight
orford nearly dribble it off his foot
tatum launches one pets a three
a much native three pointer for tatum of the celtics
and if you're curry you've got to get into his space
carrier with williams on him double team
payton floats it up and in
unselfish play by curry
it double teaming committing two on the ball
and he gets rid of it
marcus smart is fouled
and now smart we'll go to the free throw line
dramon green asking steve kurt to challenge it
like that's not asking that's commanding
and he's gonna do it
because I think even if
the fowls called he wants to be on curry
there is some contact
that's not about it is it enough to be a thou
we'll take a time out
three oh one remaining
right now warriors a comfortable 13 point lead
this is the play being challenged
as marcus smart surrounded by curry and dramon green
and it was unsuccessful
so dramon green falls out
and it really hurts him at the offense event
as well the way he's passed the ball tonight
green falls out for the third time
in five games
first played a foul out three times in a single final
since 2000 and a great
dale davis my former teammate with indiana paces
he was a great player
and you played on a dirty team
what are you talking about
you're fat you guys foul fouled
nick was such a hater man
nick pace around a monster he never died
what is wrong with you
antonio ja let's just throw in toni
oh david's in there too
what richard we were very good team
you were you were excellent team man
why would you say dirty
smart meanwhile knocks down the free throws
11 point gain as we're under 3min remaining
white garden curry
and look at this line up
both horford and williams out
grant williams
the only big on the floor
carrie makes his move on white drives inside
left handed lay up off the glass
sweet low from curry
you talk about it no rim protection
curry has much more
space when he gets into the paint to finish
harry 16 points on a rough shooting night
but he's got eight assists
tatum steps back three pointer over looney
about a foot short
an airball out of bounds gold and state fall
a crowd delighting with two twenty five remaining
golden state lewis 16 point lee
where they are bounce back in a big way
wiggins drive and pushes
exclamation point from enter wiggins
round drives and is found
young fella has gotten this opportunity
and has taken full advantage of it
it's not how you drive
is how you arrive
mama there goes that man
one fifty eight remaining
the warriors
that championship dna shows up when it's needed most
they've had their struggles at times in these playoffs
remember they lost play
as many as 39 they trailed a game by 55
that was a second round against Memphis
but they still know what it takes to win
they've earned these three rings
knowing it's so difficult
all those experience
had been having them ready for these
type of moments
in these type of games
and yet the guy with no championship experience
very little playoff experience
has been great in game four
and by far their best player tonight
wiggins has been brilliant with 42min of play
26 points 13 rebounds
thompson three pointer
it was the
largest lead of the night with
just over a minute and a half remaining
smart drives and finishes
what a cut check
win this will be for the golden state warriors
here in game five
and they do it on a night with their star players
struggle shooting the ball
curry tries fires a three
picked up an end by payton
time out
Boston they're on their feet here in San Francisco
in the most important game of his nba career
andrew wiggins spectacular 26 points 13 more rebound
so many big plays
what's his superb defense
he has done it all for the warriors
sep curry put his team on his back in game four
here in game five
curry's teammate said we got your back
and for the first time
in these playoffs
the Boston celtics will lose back to back games
and fall behind three games to two
in these finals
goal of state will win back to back games
first team to do this here
as we'll go to Boston for game six
celtics have already played in three elimination games
two of them on the road
winning game six in milwaukee
winning game seven in Miami
and of course winning game seven at all milwaukee
do not count this team out
this is though the finals continue Thursday on abc
we'll head back to Boston
nba countdown will kick off our coverage
from the td guard at a 30
tempolf of gamesic shortly after nine Easter
and so one of the issues for the celtics is
how to ratchet up
this intensity that they play with
and also complement that
with the poise necessary to understand you're going to
endure some questionable calls
damian lee mrs and have some ups and downs
I thought tonight in the fourth they got
a little bit distractive
I tell you what make no mistake about it
the war is mentality with the leadership of steve curr
steph currie drey mind green clay thompson $100
their mindset is to get game sits in the idea world
they don't want to come back here
to the bay area
if you would have said before the game
that steph curry would shoot over nine from three
seven of 22 from the field
and that golden state
would be up by 15 in the final minute
no one would have believed you
exactly and this is where andrew wiggins
you said the most important game of his life
I would say the most important two games of his life
down two to one
to him to go and get 16 rebounds in a game
and defend the way he defended
and then tonight
which is always
it's the hard part to be consistently
really really good
he delivered once again and he said
again sacrificing
but normally would be a lot of shots
early in his career as a No.1 pick
the No.1 option offensively when he was with minnesota
said it's been easy
I just want to win
he is showing that here these finals as kaminga
flips it up
and these two teams will head back
to Boston
three games to two in favor of golden state
and his loot pornet knocks down to three
and the warriors can dribble it out
golden state warriors are one win away
from getting back on that championship throne
boston's gonna have to have
another one of those vaunted comebacks we've seen
so much from them throughout these playoffs
as the warriors take game five
one o four ninety four
a spectacular performance from andrew wiggins
back to back gyms
from one of the warriors
who's looking for his first ring
as jason tatum
and the celtics disappointed as they lose
consecutive games for the first time in these playoffs
and again that has been a barometer
it led to 22 points
meanwhile golden state did not have a turnover
in the fourth quarter
let's go to lisa
thank you mike
andrew just what felt good to you tonight
um it's attacking the room
you know that I got one going early and I
got on the mindset to stay addresses
and to stay attacking
what message did you wanna stand with that dunk
late in the fourth quarter
uh we're here
you know we're here and you know we're hungry
we want this
you know the team they're watching the most
gonna get in we want it
back to back double doubles
for you for just the second time

right now on both sides of the ball

um so I'm excited you know I can't wait
congratulations on the wind tonight
thank you like
all right lisa
these had years with better numbers
when in terms of an impact on winning
he's never been greater
bob buyers the gm congratulates
andrew wiggins
as the warriors now just one game away
from yet another championship
and they do it with steph curry
having an off bike shooting he did have
eight assists
1st game without a three pointer
since 2018 first time in the playoffs
and is a lustria
playoff career that he didn't have a three and a
came after he had 43
but you know
all he cares about right now is that victory
and a chance at another title
which could happen on the road
the golden state warriors
now eleven and one here at the chase center
as they defeat the subjects here in game 5 104
to 94 and take a three games to two leads
as we head back to Boston
